    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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, Just before Christmas I recieved a Notice of service from Northampton Court regarding an account I put in dispute with Capone some time ago.

I got a little out of my depth a few years ago and despite trying to reason with Capone they started threating action against me at which point I sent them a CCA, they failed to comply properly and I so I sent them an Account in Dispute notice, over the time since they have placed it with various DCAs at one point they even doorstepped us however the chap went away with a flea in his ear.

This time the latest DCA (Optima) seem intent on taking this further, I recieved the notice and have responded stating I will contest it in full but now need advice on the statement I need to make, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response

Yes sorry about that, that's exactly what I meant. I will scan the claim form and get it on here, probably won't be able to do that until tomorrow though. The date of service on the claim form is 15th nov.

I realise this might seem that I am cutting things close but Northampton Bulk centre messed up and didn't send a password for money claim online and then couldn't open the file I sent via email so I had a set aside placed on the 18th dec, I will call the court tomorrow to ask when they expect my defence by.

One thing that has come to light as I am going back over the paperwork is that I put the CCA into Cap one in Sept 2007, I have gone back over my statements and it looks like my last payment to them was early Sept 2007 also.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Things have moved on since my last post, firstly after the e-mail on 18th December when the judgement was set aside I e-mailed back to ask when my defence was required. I didn't receive a response to this e-mail, and was unsure how long I had, whether 28 days or 19 from the 18th December. I sent my defence in on 7th January, but a judgement had been made on 2nd January (which I had not yet received). I appealed against the judgement, saying that I had not been given a timeline for a reponse and hadn't received a response to my e-mail querying the timeline. I received an e-mail today saying

"The original judgment on this claim was set aside on the 17th December 2013. On the same date your Acknowledgment of Service (AoS) was filed. By filing the AoS you have 28 days from the deemed date of service to file your defence.

The deemed date of service for this claim was 20th November 2013, and so your defence should have been filed by 18th December 2013.

The claimant did not obtain the second judgment until 2nd January 2013, and your claim response was not received until 7th January 2013.

In view of these circumstances then the judgement by default will stand. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused."

If this is correct my response would have been required on the same day as I received the e-mail setting the judgement aside, but the e-mail only mentioned 'sending a response ASAP'.

Do I have any recourse? If I appeal, how long do I have to send in the appeal?

Any and all help will be gratefully recieved.

Many thanks for your response.

I received a letter on the 18th saying "I am writing to you to inform you that we have set the judgement aside. We have now processed your Acknowledgement of Service and informed the Claimant of our actions." There was no other paperwork.

I also received an e-mail on the 18th saying "I can now confirm that the judgment has been set aside and your acknowledgement of service processed. If you intend to file a response to the claim (eg defence or partial admission) please submit this to the court ASAP. I have attached the forms, should you wish to use them. If you are filing a defence please use N9B only. If you are filing a part admission, you will need both forms. If you fully admit the debt, you should complete the N9A and send directly to the claimant."

Hi, thanks for responding.

I spoke to the helpdesk on 6th December to say I had tried to submit my response, but the paperwork hadn't got a password so I had been unable to this electronically. I was informed that no judgement had been made and I would be able to submit the forms by e-mail. I sent the forms on the 8th and got a response on the 9th saying they had received, then later that day got a response saying "Thank you for your email. I am unable to print off this Acknowledgement of Service for processing, please find the above attachments for the response. You can send back via this email address". I then took the documents in to work where I could scan them and sent them back via e-mail on the 9th, I also hand delivered them to the court offices. I then received a judgement dated 6th December. I called the Helpdesk to ask why I had been told on the 6th that it was not too late to send an Acknowledgement, the first person I spoke to said that it had been too late on the 6th and I was misinformed. I asked to speak to a supervisor who said that it was too late and my Acknowledgement would have had to be in by 4 o'clock on the 8th to avoid the Judgement. I pointed out that my Acknowledgement had been sent in on the 7th and had been acknowledged by the Court on the 8th, but that they were unable to print it off, I then forwarded by two e-mails. She said she would look into it and call me back. The next I heard was on the 18th when they sent the e-mail saying the Judgement had been set aside and to respond ASAP.

Hi, sorry for not keeping up with this but here's a quick update and hopefully someone can give me some advice on how to deal with this. I did appeal against the judgement and had to go to a hearing at MK County Court last Monday.

 

A couple of days before the hearing Capquest requested an adjournment, to which I objected. At the hearing they again requested an adjournment to 20th April (even thought they have had the claim since 2009 when I wrote to them informing them that the account was in dispute due to non compliance and therefore could not be passed to them) in order to get the Notice of Assignment. The Magistrate was quite blunt with their representative asking why they had previously stated that they had these documents in their possession, their representative did not respond to his point. The Magistrate then set the judgement aside and said I have to send my defence into the court by 24th March. He said that the new hearing would be set for 28th April in order to give Capquest ample time to get their documents in order.

 

Could you please advise my next steps. What can I expect on the 28th, I know Capquest won't be able to produce the documents so will that be the end of it? Many thanks for any help you can give.
