    • 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 Andy

 

Having been just waiting for the court date to arrive I've been quiet,

but now even more confused, so wondered if you might be able to shed some light.

 

My court date was set for 23 June,

this clashed with a holiday that had already been booked.

 

Due to fear of going to court and knowing I didn't stand a chance, I didn't change the date.

 

Just got back from holiday to find two letters from the court,

 

one dated 19th June, 5 days before court date,

which was a judgement for claimant (in default)

saying I have not replied to the claim form,

which I did electronically and have acknowledgement ,

 

saying I have to pay forthwith, and checking experian have a CCJ on my file,

it doesn't appear to give me an option to pay in instalments

just says send payment to claimants solicitor.

 

The seconded letter is dated 23rd June (actual court date) is a general form of judgement or order, and says

"upon no attendance by parties it is order that the claim be struck out.

 

I'm now really confused,

 

why would the court make a judgement before the given court date.

 

Can you clarify this?

 

Don't know if I need to ask court if I can come to an agreement or the claimant.

 

Thanks

Jax

I will try and find someone who can answer your questions. It certainly doesnt make any sense that you have two conflicting letters from the court.

 

Because the 2nd one appears to have gone in your favour in that neither you nor the claimant turned up on the day.

 

Like, you I dont understand why, as you had submitted a defence, that the court would award a Default judgment - I think you need clarification on this. I dont know whether a letter to the court would establish why, especially as you have proof that you did enter a defence.

 

It might not be until tomorrow when someone responds.. so dont worry if you dont hear anything this evening.

I would say if the first letter was an error - which IMHO it must be because you had submitted a defence then it is the 2nd letter you should be grateful for as the claim has been struck out and you dont have to make any arrangement for repayment.

 

But wait while those with the legal know how come back to you.

Thanks for that, I did PM Andy who advised me to ring the court for clarification.

I am just going through all the paper work to see if I was supposed to make a further reply as they changed the paperwork halfway through admitting to making errors on the original. Even so that still doesn't explain the second letter.

I will put an update on once I've spoken to the court, would be lovely if it was actually struck out but realistically not likely

Hi jax.. sadly the courts are way behind with their administration and it would appear there has been a classic cock up in this situation.

 

Please do update when you have spoken to someone at the court :)

Having just gone through the paperwork I think this May explain the first letter making judgement. In April Shoosmiths amended their particulars of the claim, , this was agreed and from the court I rwc'd notice of this saying also that I had permission to file and serve a defence, I read this as optional as I'd already served my defence so did nothing, I'm now wondering if this was mandatory! I've had so much stuff through it gets confusing, I thought my original defence was enough 😁

But that wouldn't explain the second letter as for the claimants case being struck out...it would be your defence struck out.

That's what I thought, I'm guessing it's an admin error, and they've put claim struck out instead of defence,as I said the CCJ is already shown

Ing on my experian report. I'm just cheesed off that they can make a decision prior to the date of the hearing, what's the point of giving a hearing date and then making judgement a few days before, seems mad to me!

Thank you both for your help I'll let you know what they say as it may be useful to somebody else.

As soon as I read the letters I checked experian and it's there alright, I did think that they don't hang about, nothing on the file to say it was struck out which is why I think it's the 2nd letter that's wrong. I must say I'm surprised I haven't heard anything from Shoosmiths asking for the money!

Seek clarification as advised jax and then we can either deal with the forthwith or celebrate the second:-D

Just a quick update, I rang the court yesterday, but the person I spoke to was as confused as I am and has said I will need to write into the court for clarification. She did tell me that I should have resubmitted the response pack when Shoosmiths amended the POC, p"ermission to submit" actually means "must submit"

Hi jax...

 

Do you have the General Order that confirms that from the court...its not always necessary to resubmit when further particulars are provided.

Your original AoS and defence still stands.

Hi Andy

I hope this is readable, this is the general form of judgement I received after Shoosmiths asked to amend their particulars, No 2 is what I thought was optional.

Hi Andy,

Is this any better? I am about to write to the court to ask them to clarify whats happening, re the judgement to pay and the claim struck out letter. is there any particular way I need to word this do you think?

thanks

You have permission should you wish to...just because they had to resubmit and particularise their particulars does not always require an amended defence and as stated earlier your initial defence still stands.

 

Whats confusing is why was a further response pack served...they only had to submit a new PoC...did the claim number remain the same?

We could do with some help from you.

I have just checked, the claim numbers remain unchanged. These are the 2 letters I received, that are causing the confusion..

You state that they have registered the judgment already so error or not and the court are of no assistance so you need to set a side pronto.Go to the Legal library and click the link to N244.

 

Familiarise yourself with the application and then get ready to complete and set a side the judgment.

 

Jax if you could bring me up to speed why was the claimant requested to resubmit their particulars? You did AoS and submit a defence?

Hi Andy

My original defence was that I had not entered into any financial agreements with Britanica, which was who they entered on the original claim, their amendment stated that they had made an error in inputting Britanicca and wished to change it to EGG. having reread this paperwork the order they sought was for "the defendent to file her defence or full or partial admission within 14 days of service" this is where i think I made my mistake.

They have sent me so much paperwork it can be quite confusing.

 

I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Well the Notice of Strike out supersedes the judgment so obviously something is not right.I think only an application can safeguard you here but there will be a fee of £155 unfortunately but if you can lay blame with the court you should be able to recover the cost.
