    • Oh I see! thats confusing, for some reason the terms and conditions that Evri posted in that threads witness statement are slightly different than the t&cs on packlinks website. Their one says enter into a contract with the transport agency, but the website one says enter into a contract with paclink. via website: (c) Each User will enter into a contract with Packlink for the delivery of its Goods through the chosen Transport Agency. via evri witness statement in that thread: (c) Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency I read your post at #251, so I should use the second one (and changing the screenshot in the court bundle), since I am saying I have a contract with Evri? Is that correct EDIT: Oh I understand the rest of your conversation. you're saying if I was to do this i would have to fully adjust my ws to use the consumer rights act instead of rights of third parties. In that case should I just edit the terms and stick with the third parties plan?. And potentially if needed just bring up the CRA in the hearing, as you guys did in that thread  
    • First, those are the wrong terms,  read posts 240-250 of the thread ive linked to Second donough v stevenson should be more expanded. You should make refernece to the three fold duty of care test as well. Use below as guidance: The Defendant failed its duty of care to the Claimant. As found in Donoghue v Stevenson negligence is distinct and separate to any breach of contract. Furthermore, as held in the same case there need not be a contract between the Claimant and the Defendant for a duty to be established, which in the case of the Claimant on this occasion is the Defendant’s duty of care to the Claimant’s parcel whilst it is in their possession. By losing the Claimant’s parcel the Defendant has acted negligently and breached this duty of care. As such the Claimant avers that even if it is found that the Defendant not be liable in other ways, by means of breach of contract, should the court find there is no contract between Claimant and Defendant, the Claimant would still have rise to a claim on the grounds of the Defendant’s negligence and breach of duty of care to his parcel whilst it was in the Defendant’s possession, as there need not be a contract to give rise to a claim for breach of duty of care.  The court’s attention is further drawn to Caparo Industries plc v Dickman (1990), 2 AC 605 in which a three fold test was used to determine if a duty of care existed. The test required that: (i) Harm must be a reasonably foreseeable result of the defendant’s conduct; (ii) A relationship of proximity must exist and (iii) It must be fair, just and reasonable to impose liability.  
    • Thank you. here's the changes I made 1) removed indexed statement of truth 2) added donough v Stevenson in paragraph 40, just under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 paragraph about reasonable care and skill. i'm assuming this is a good place for it? 3) reworded paragraph 16 (now paragraph 12), and moved the t&cs paragraphs below it then. unless I understood you wrong it seems to fit well. or did you want me to remove the t&cs paragraphs entirely? attached is the updated draft, and thanks again for the help.

    • 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.

I have a Debt collector chasing me for a debt that they bought off credit card supplier back in September2012

 

as soon as I got the DCA first letter I started the three letter process and a sent a fee schedule,

since then and have sent them around 17 invoices.

 

They then passed the debt to another debt collection company, so I started the three letter process and sent fee schedule and 1 invoice.

 

All of a sudden I get a court papers from Northampton money claim on line with a solicitors firm on the paper work,

 

claim for the original DCA who bought the debt.

 

after looking through my file I have found a copy of the credit agreement with my original credit supplier sent to me In march 2013.

 

For which I sent them an invoice.

And they kept sending me letter I kept sending them invoices

I am look for defence help and ideas

 

Credit card supplier sold the debt to the DCA which it says in the original contract,

the credit card company can transfer all their right to another.

 

Which part of the Bills of exchange states that if another buys the debt then there is no more debt?

 

I have asked for a copy of a contract between the DCA and my self not the original credit card company

and the deed of Novation which I have not received.

 

Regarding the deed of assignment (which I have not received)

 

In contract law if you breach the contract, the courts it normally balance one side loss with what the contract would have supplied them if the contract had run it course.

 

Since the DCA and I have no contract and they only paid pennies in the pound for the contract,

how can I show they have had no loss to the original debt value?

 

Could any body you let me know any laws

I may use like the consumer credit act 1974,

 

The bills of exchange etc

the the original credit card supplier has said they have sold the the debt to the DCA,

the debt collection company has said they have bought the debt will that make any difference.

 

i know that if it get assigned it is normally still with the original company and they have assigned the DCA to collect on their behalf.

That is because there are 2 types of assignment Legal and Equitable

 

An Equitable Assignmet ....An assignment which does not fulfil the statutory criteria for a legal assignment. An equitable assignment may be made in one of two ways:

The assignor can inform the assignee that he transfers a right or rights to him.

The assignor can instruct the other party or parties to the agreement to discharge their obligation to the assignee instead of the assignor.

 

Only the benefit of an agreement may be assigned. There is no requirement for written notice to be given or received. The only significant difference between a legal assignment and an equitable assignment is that an equitable assignee often cannot bring an action in its own name against the third party contractor, but must fall back on the rules governing equitable assignments and join the assignor as party to the action.

 

A legal Assignment is the usual way of assigning the benefit of any debt or other legal thing in action under section 136 of the Law of Property Act 1925. Under that section, the basic requirements for a legal assignment are as follows:

 

Only the benefit of an agreement may be assigned.

The assignment must be absolute.

The rights to be assigned must be wholly ascertainable and must not relate to part only of a debt.

The assignment must be in writing and signed under hand by the assignor.

Notice of the assignment must be received by the other party or parties for the assignment to take effect.

Any suggestion on a defence then may under contract law

 

1/ a copy of a contract where i gave permission for my details to be given to a third party date protection act ?.

or breach of contract by them by selling the debt without informing me,

changing the contract, no more meeting of the minds?

 

the amount they paid is lees than being claimed so can not show loss for the amount claim making it a unfair contract ?

also why is the bills of exchange not a good idea as a part of a defence?

i am looking for help guys.

 

I am not going to give the ins and out of my life for the last ten years i am not after sympathy,

but i am on the bones of my arse with Christmas looming, ( a northern expression)

 

my wife at the moment earns the most and works for a bank as a cashier

so any CCJ,s on my record or liens on the mortgage could put her in a difficult position with her job

 

i know a lot could come back with a lot of smart reply s like well you should have not done this or that.

but that is not going to help me in front of a judge.

it was taken out in July 2002 at a country fair,

it looks like it was an application form,

on the back it is two thirds blank at the top with the T&cs at the bottom of the page.

it says on the front in one section of this page you must read condition 11

but it is not found on the front or back on the form the rest of the pages sent

look as if they come from another form.

 

i could blank out my details and post if required.

To answer your questions:

 

 

1/ I don't think they would need any permission from you under the Data Protection Act. Contrary to popular belief, the DPA does not provide for an absolute bar on data transfers.

2/ The contract will entitle them to assign the debt to someone else.

3/ When a debt is assigned, the person to whom it is assigned steps into the shoes of the original creditor and can pursue the entire debt not just the amount it paid for it.

4/ A Bill of Exchange has a defined legal meaning, basically it means a banker's draft. A credit card agreement is not a bill of exchange.

5/ I don't think a CCJ on your credit file should affect your wife's credit file. The exception would be if the debt is a joint debt.

 

 

There is no magic response that will make this all just go away, no matter how much you want it. You have to face this.

 

 

If you want sensible help, you need to go back to square 1 and explain to us what the debt is for and exactly what documents you have received.

I would like to thank you for your help like some of the site team and senior members who have given me places to look for help like Law of Property Act 1925.

and ideas where to look etc. but there seem to be a few who like to make comments but don't offer any help

 

just like any one starting out you check the internet and you start to educated your self but it does take time to sort out fact for fiction,

so when you find sites with forums like this one stating alleged wins by people from all walks of life using there methods

and have some allegedly real success with you have a tendency to believe that some of the statements are true.

 

it is no good to me if you say thing like (that's rubbish using there method it will be a disaster for you )

what will be help me is, that's rubbish using there method it will be a disaster for you because??and give a reason.

 

but i am now studding contract law and finance but i am at a very early stage so my knowledge is still very limited so this is why i come to to sites like this for help.

Ok as as been said, FORGET the freedom of the land stuff and sites you have read and been too

that will guarantee you getting a CCJ by default.

 

now tell us about the debt please

 

when did you take the card out

Who was the original creditor

when did you last use the card or pay something toward it

Who has taken you to court

what is the status of the debt on your credit file.

 

please type out the PoC as on the claim form

 

you need to ack the claim and [defend all? or nothing - partial will guarantee a default CCJ]

using the password etc on the claim for within 14 days of its date

then you have a further 14 days + 5 to get your defence in

[33 days in total]

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

when did you take the card out (July 2002)

 

Who was the original creditor (I would rather not say at the moment I do not wish my details to be identified.)

 

when did you last use the card or pay something toward it (at a guess Nov 2012)

 

Who has taken you to court (the debt collection company who purchased the debt)

 

what is the status of the debt on your credit file. (I don’t understand the question do you mean my credit sore?)

the particulars of claim are listed below

 

I have listed what I have done below and I have tried to include

I started my process back in November 2012, I sent the three letters and an a unilateral contract/ fee schedule, asking to show evidence of a contract also loss and a deed of Novation, since they had bought the debt, I got the usual we have asked the original lender for a copy of the contract etc (if they bought the debt should they not have had a copy?) and kept sending me demands and I kept invoicing them for my time.

 

How ever in march 2013 I receive a 1 page photo copy of the application form I filled out at a country fair back in 2002, it contained my details address job title etc, it was not my writing it looks like it was filled in by the person at the time but it does contain my signature and that of the person who filled in the form.

 

On the back it is two thirds blank and the last third is where the terms and conditions start. On the front of the form it says that before you sign you must read condition 11. On the terms and conditions provided,

 

But on the back it starts at 1 and finishes at 2.4 at the top of the page it says page 1 of 2 and the other side says page 2 of 2 if this is a copy of the original why is the back two thirds blank .

 

The other document is a 3 page double sided copy of an agreement but it is not a photo copy it has been printed of a PC. It starts top left in bold a credit card agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974. Your lender is XXXX and then my name and addresses no signatures.

 

So I sent them an invoice to see what would happen and all they did was keep sending demands for money I kept invoicing them for my time. In July 2013 they sent the debt to another debt collection company and I started the 3 letter process with them.

 

Then out of the blue I got the court papers through my door

The particulars of claim are

 

1 a credit card agreement made between xxxx bank ltd and the card holder D

2 2 claimant purchased the balance of the account on the 30.01.12

3 3 D accrued balance #4647.99

4 D defaulted on payment

5 C issued formal demand requesting payment dated 01/11/2013

6 Amount now due from D # 4647.99

 

Plus court fees of 100. And solicitors of 80.00 ect

The original bank did not tell me until September 2012 but according to the particulars of claim they bought it back in January 2012

 

Any ideas you have would be gratefully received, I have a few which I would like advice on

 

Must they list a cause of action in the particulars of claim? Like breach of contract etc

What about not following pre action protocol

Wasting court time

Using the court to enforce with out supping the documents I requested never received deed of Novation or deed of assignment etc

 

Would the application form be classed as an offer to treat and not an offer of contract as not every body would get a credit card just by filling in that form so no formal contract was signed. ?

 

Not supplying signed statement of accounts Re cca 1974

Also what is the burden of proof on them if they say they sent my document in the post but don’t have any proof of postage like postage receipt, would that be classed as hearsay?

 

All my document are signed for
