    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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'm not asking for the council to repair the boundaries - the land is owned by a company who it is I have not been able to find out the owners details as the land does not have a physical address.

 

The council have replied saying "...we are not willing to provide the details of the owner of the land as it would be breaking the Data Protection Act....."

 

They have advised me to contact my solicitor

This kind of stuff annoys me. It is clear the person writing that letter has no understanding of the DPA.

 

You may wish to write back as follows:

  • With respect, even on the most conservative view the council's belief that the DPA restricts the provision of this information is not correct.
  • Even on the most conservative view, the owner's address does not constitute 'personal data' within the meaning of the DPA. The definition only applies to biographical information and not to information such as the address of an owner of property.
  • The DPA does not contain any absolute bar on providing information whatsoever. It only requires compliance with the data protection principles set out the act. None of these would be breached in this case.
  • There is a specific exemption applicable to this case. Section 35 (2) of the DPA provides as follows: 'Personal data are exempt from the non-disclosure provisions where the disclosure is necessary— (a)for the purpose of, or in connection with, any legal proceedings (including prospective legal proceedings), or
    (b)for the purpose of obtaining legal advice,
    or is otherwise necessary for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights'.
  • The exemption in section 35(2) was designed for exactly this kind of case and there can be no doubt that it applies in this situation - the address is being requested for the purposes of exercising legal rights.
  • If they have any doubts, ask them to read the ICO's guidance or contact the ICO for confirmation. There is clear guidance, approved by parliament, on the sharing of personal data available at http://www.ico.org.uk/for_organisations/data_protection/topic_guides/~/media/documents/library/Data_Protection/Detailed_specialist_guides/data_sharing_code_of_practice.ashx.
  • They may also wish to read the DPA which is available at www.legislation.gov.uk or seek advice from their legal department. If they still believe the DPA restricts the disclosure ask them to explain why.
  • Can also mention that it is also open to you to bring a Part 8 claim against the council seeking disclosure of the information, which would result in the council being ordered to pay your legal costs.

Not sure whether this will get you anywhere but worth a go?

It really annoys me the council knows the owner of the lands details but is not providing them to me under the guise of 'DPA' which is ridiculous.

 

hmmmmm what can i do now?

Looks like you may be forced to let the insurers deal with it, or the courts.

There are a few good ones on the market, but youll be looking at a few hundred quid for infra red ones. Especially if you want it to be clear and have decent range.

It appears the NFH attempted to cut down the tree (below) which part of fell into my rear garden - the NFH came out with this slip of tongue talking to the insurance people that came to visit but she blamed the landlord saying he came down with a saw and showed them how to cut down the tree and left them to it

 

I've attached pictures of the where the tree was cut down from the NFH garden side (NFH have attempted to cut down the tree from where its snapped in the picture)

The rest of the tree is now dangerous and needs to be cut right down before the same thing happens again.

 

Is the landlord or the NFH to blame?

Lets not get into the habit of if/maybe etc. Deal with facts and what you know, not guesswork.

im not debating that. Im talking about the other part. However, if the insurer finds them at fault, then theyll have to pay out. Let the insurers do what you pay them to do.

Your insurer wont want to pay you when someone else is at fault, especially if they are insured so set them do their stuff. The only minus side is they do tend to take their time so you need to chivvy them up regarding the clearance and rebuilding of your fence

Lots of guys walk across a field using a self made walkway and into the back garden of the NFH at all times of the day, then then walk back out the same way again.

 

I don't know why so many guys are walking into the back garden through the the field and into the NFH backgarden every single day

Simple answer, wait till theyre out and install a concealed camera covering your property but conveniently covering the walkway too. lets see this silly cow (your NFH) find an excuse for video evidence.

You could always plant a nice prickly hedge - roses make a nice hedge - one with nice big thorns on, make sure the plants are close enough together to ensure that anybody pushing between the bushes gets caught on the thorns, that should be enough to deter trespassers!

The Letter Before Claim (used to be Letter Before Action) has to be a formal letter and you type LETTER BEFORE CLAIM in block capitals across the middle just before you start the letter itself.

 

Dear LL,

 

I have contacted you on many occasions about the behaviour of your tenants (names) .....

 

Then list numerically all the things they have done and the cost of removing rubbish, repairs to roof and so on.

 

Enclose an estimate for the cost and installation of a new fence, and the roof if this hasn't already been repaired, and tell him this work will be started in 14 days and you will be sending the bill to him. Offer him the chance to obtain his own estimates if he prefers.

 

Tell him that if he does not respond to your letter within 14 days with his confirmation that he will pay for the fence/roof/anything else you will immediately start a claim against him in the County Court for reimbursement of all your costs.

 

How old are the children btw?
