    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Received communication from Court today. Date set for 6th February at 1100am.

 

It states that:

 

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents (including experts' reports if the court has given permission for expert evidence to be used) on which he intends to rely on at the hearing.

 

The copies shall be delivered no later than fourteen days before the hearing.

 

The original documents shall be brought to the hearing.

 

The claimant must clarify her case. She must do this by sending to the court office and to the defendant no later than 29th November a list of all penalty charges claimed for detailed by date and amount.

 

The defendant must clarify his case. He must do this by sending to the court and to the claimant no later than 28th December details of how the penalty charges claimed by the Claimant are calculated.

 

I intend to print out all the documents I have seen listed on here (somewhere....) and send the schedule of charges plus interest in the next week or two.

 

Why do Barclays have longer to submit their evidence?

Barclays have not sent me their details of how the penalty charges are calculated. They had the deadline of the 28th December in order to do it. I am assuming that because of the Xmas post it may be slightly delayed, BUT, if they have missed the deadline what happens next? Will the court throw out the case as they have not complyed with the request? Will that in turn mean that I win by default?

I still haven't heard anything from Barclays. I contacted the court on Friday and they have informed me to write to them letting them know. Does anyone know what is likely to happen from here? I shall send the court the letter tomorrow and copy it to Barclays. My court date is set for 6th of Feb and I have got 2 weeks to get my court bundle together. I would appreciate any encouragement or advice!

HELP***

 

I am currently in the process of getting my court bundle together but I have a HUGE problem. The copies of all the letters I have sent to Barclays, along with the replies they have sent to me are missing. The folder they are contained in has been misplaced and I am begining to panic. I will probably be able to work out the dates I sent the letters due to me marking it my diary when a response was due, but I don't have their letters.

 

Do you think I should just copy the letters from the templates and put the 'possible' dates along with who I 'possibly' sent them too OR own up to the court and to Barclays that I am a total incompetant fool??

 

My court date is 6th February. I sent Barclays and the Court a letter last week stating that Barclays had failed to comply with a court request to provide me with details of how the penalty charges are calculated. I really thought that I would have heard from them by now attempting to settle. My other problem is that I am going to be unable to attend the date due to work committments, although I am putting off telling them that until a week beforehand.

 

I am planning on dropping the bundle to my local branch to forward, do you think they will do this for me?

 

I am gutted that I have been so stupid as to lose my neat, organised folder.

Have you tried telephoning the Litigation Dept yet to press for settlement?

 

It seems that since the christmas holiday, things are really getting on top of Barclays, maybe they're having difficulty keeping up with the thousands of CAG members, who all seem to be getting court dates for around the 6th Feb...mine was for the 7th Feb...lol

 

If you want the direct dial for a nice lady at Barclays Litigation, then send me a PM. With your date so close now, and your current situation, its worth a try. You may even get a settlement by the end of tomorrow.

I have today emailed Barclays with the following:

 

Dear Ms Connelly

 

As you will be aware my court date with yourselves is fast approaching. I wish to give you this last opportunity to settle in full and avoiding wasting any more of the courts precious time.

 

My full claim stands at £880 in charges, £80 court fee and £199.13 interest (under section 69 of the County Courts Act). Totalling £1079.13.

 

If you wish to take this opportunity please contact me on ****** to advise me and I will fax the court immediately the funds are cleared in my account.

 

I am hopeful that this can be dealt with outside of the Small Claims Court but I am fully prepared to meet your team there should you decline to settle. I refer to my letter dated 12th January to your colleague, Mr White, stating that Barclays Bank failed to comply with a court request. I am confident that my case will be a successful.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

Here's hoping I get a phone call some time today!

Hi dickeggsy

 

I did all the letters at work and therefore did not save them to a computer (case of working on different computers everyday) and printed out 4 copies everytime and kept them all in a folder which I thought I kept in a safe place!

 

Thanks for the handy advice though!

There's very little you can do on this then... Just prepare what you can and make copies of the standard templated letters. You could put a note with the bundle to state that a file is currently missing and that you will seek to provide originals in court.

Right then....

 

I have just finished sending, by email, my court bundle to Rebecca Connelly at Litigation. I have managed to find the exact dates for my letters from my diary and have copied the standard templates.

 

I spoke to Rebecca this afternoon and she said that she wasn't in a position to settle at the moment, but to expect a call either the end of this week or begining of next. She also mentioned that she was leaving on Friday so she will leave all the notes of my case to her replacement should it not be this week.

 

I shall be hand delivering the courts copies first thing in the morning.

 

Fingers crossed I shall be able pay off my overdraft next week.....

 

Thanks everyone!

On Thursday I received a General Form of Judgment or Order from the Court. It was a copy that was sent to Barclays stating that:

 

Unless the defendant complies with the requirements of para 5 of the order dated 30th October the defence shall stand struck out without further order.

(which was: The defendant must clarify his case. He must do this by sending to the court and to the claimant no later than 28th December details of how the penalty charges claimed by the Claimant are calculated.)

 

I then received a letter from Rebecca offering a full and final settlement, without any admission of liability on their part!!

 

However, the amount offered has not taken into account the interest accrued from when I submitted the claim back in August. Is it worth calculating this and asking for it to be refunded (only about £40 max) or just settling for exactly what I claimed?

 

I guess whatever happens - IVE STILL WON!!!

 

Thanks to everyone who has given me guidance, donation on its way as soon as its cleared in bank.

 

PS Can a moderator update my title please!!

I have worked it out to be £39.49 short in the interest from August. I shall be contacting Barclays first thing Monday before accepting it!

 

One thing more. I have made a mistake, which I have only just noticed. All the schedules I have sent to both Barclays and the Court have had the correct charges entered. On the moneyclaim site the total claimed for was short by £85. I know that I don't really have a leg to stand on here but do you think I would be able to go down this route again? I don't know which dates I missed out originally though. I wouldn't want to risk Barclays turning round and saying that they had already paid me once. How shall I play this one?

Ive won!!

 

I spoke to Laura, who has taken over from Rebecca and she agreed that the missing interest should have been included and it is now all settled. Just waiting for the money to hit my bank and I will then write to the court. I have decided to just leave it at that now and not go back over my mistake.

 

Keep positive everyone.
