    • Nick Wallis has written up the first day of Angela van den Bogerd's evidence to the inquiry. I thought she was awful. She's decided to go with being not bright enough to spot what was happening over Fujitsu altering entries on the Horizon system, rather than covering up important facts. She's there today as well.

    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx  
    • Hi LFI, Your knowledge in this area is greater than I could possibly hope to have and as such I appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure that I agree the reason why a barrister would say that, only to get new customers, I'm sure he must have had professional experience in this area that qualifies him to make that point. 🙂 In your point 1 you mention: 1] there is a real danger that some part of the appeal will point out that the person appealing [the keeper ] is also the driver. I understand the point you are making but I was referring to when the keeper is also the driver and admits it later and only in this circumstance, but I understand what you are saying. I take on board the issues you raise in point 2. Is it possible that a PPC (claimant) could refer back to the case above as proof that the motorist should have appealed, like they refer back to other cases? Thanks once again for the feedback.

    • 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.

Hi,

 

I have been working a new job abroad for a few months and

 

have returned to the UK with some frightening letters in the post.

 

Regarding a HBOS credit card that has been defaulted, due to unemployment.

 

The first letter dated 24th sept 2013 from BW

to say they have been instructed by Llowell in respect of the debt.

 

'With this letter, you will have been served with a Statutory Demand by our process server'

This is a single page letter with the SD attached.

 

The second letter dated 7th October was hand delivered and posted first line says

 

I have been directed to serve you with a SD issued under the insolvency act 1986 on behalf of the creditor.

 

It also says that they will attend my home on the 14th October to serve me

and if I cannot meet them or keep any appt they will serve me by posting in my letterbox.

 

The third letter dated 25th October 2013 says that I was served

and if they do not have a response by 4th nov 2013 they will send bankruptcy petition to court.

 

Forth letter 2nd Nov 2013, as they have not heard anything they will send petition to local court.

 

Fifth letter 29th Nov 2013, despite previous attempt to resolve.

A decision has been taken to withdraw the SD and issue proceedings.

Unless the full amount is received within 14 days.

 

I arrived home on Thursday and have waded through my post...

I have not contacted anyone or replied.

 

Can anyone advise what I can/should do from here.

 

Thank you

That is unusual for Lowell. They usually petition for bankruptcy after an SD has been ignored (or not seen in your case)

 

Do you own your own property?

 

A decision has been taken to withdraw the SD and issue proceedings. Unless the full amount is received within 14 days.

 

Another unusual statement from them. they tend to imply they will start action but not in such a clear way.

 

Now, when was the card taken out?

 

Do you know if there are any charges that could be reclaimed?

 

How much is the debt? (approx)

The 14 day deadline B W set has passed but you have not heard from the court.

I would therefore take it as nothing more than a nasty threat,

like the shameful S D shenanigans, and do nothing for now.

 

If you do subsequently receive court papers we can help you deal with them.

 

Do you own a property?

 

What date did you last paY or, if later, make written acknowledgment of the debt and was it to the O C or Lowell?

 

If you are resident abroad you MUST inform creditors .

 

This will prevent them from being able to obtain a CCJ or bankruptcy behind your back .

 

(Sorry s f I was writing unaware you had meanwhile posted.)

Yes I own my own property, and there is a little equity.

 

I have only by the skin of my teeth been able to hang on to it after 6 months arrears in mortgage payments

which have now been cleared.

 

I cant remember much about the card, they say that it was defaulted on 2nd feb 2010 for the sum £7555.46.

 

I am very worried as I will not be able to find somewhere else to live and keep my new job, which entails a lot if travel.

nothing

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...
