Remember, the claim will proceed anyway even if you don’t respond. If the claim goes against you, it will be very difficult to make a counter claim as you didn’t respond to the initial small claim.   You may be unaware that you are the defendant in a small claims case that a Creditor has bought against you. When the small claims form arrives follow these initial steps:   1: Read the Form Carefully   The detail about the claim that is being bought against you will be in the ‘particulars of claim’ section. If this section isn't completed, or has the words ‘particulars of claim to follow’ take no action now and wait until you are sent details of the claim against you. You may want to consult a lawyer at this stage.   2: Respond in Time   It’s vitally important that you respond to the claim for you have been sent. Remember that there is a 19 day (5 +14) time limit on this to acknowledge the claim.You must submit before the 19 days are up, so post your response with plenty of time.If your intention is to defend the claim in full you get a further 14 days to submit your response ...so 33 days in total.   3: Talk to the Claimant   Just because a small claim has been bought against you and a claim form issued, this doesn’t mean you are not allowed to contact the claimant directly. In fact the court encourages you to try and settle the claim without the need for a court appearance. So, try and resolve your dispute directly with the claimant if you can.   Not Responding to a Small Claim   If you ignore the small claims form when it arrives this can have an adverse impact on your financial status. The court will continue with the small claims lawsuit that is being bought against you even in your absence as this is a legal requirement. When the small claim is processed you will be sent a bill showing the amount you owe and any additional costs. The small claims against you is a legal process that will be recorded on the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines. This information is used to check your credit, so could have a negative impact when you next apply for any credit. To avoid damaging your credit rating reply to your small claims docket as soon as you can.   How to Respond to Your Small Claims Form   When you received your form from the court you will also have been sent a response pack. In this pack you will see the option that are open to you. These include:   • A dispute claim form. You can use this form if you do not agree that you are liable for the small claim being bought against you and wish to submit a Defence. • Details about how to pay the amount being claimed from you. • Details about how to admit to part of the small claim against you, and how you can ask the claimant for more time to pay.   There are Two Types of Small Claims:   Fixed Amounts:   If the claim against you is for a fixed amount of money your response pack will contain three forms. Form N9 (acknowledgement of Service), form N9A (admission form) and N9B (defence and counterclaim form).   Unspecified Amounts:   If the amount being claimed is unspecified you will be sent forms N9 and N9C (admission form) and N9D (defence and counterclaim form). It is vital that you read the accompanying explanatory notes before choosing which form to send back.   Paying the Small Claim   If you want to make full payment of the amount being claimed against you this amount will be shown on the claim for you have been sent, and will also have details about where to send the money. Don’t forget, this must be done within the 14 day time limit or your case will proceed to the next stage.   In some instances you would like to pay, but need more time, you can give details about the delay you would like on form N9A, which should be in your response pack. It’s also a good idea to read leaflet EX309: The Defendant Admits by claim as this gives more details on this aspect of your case when fixed amounts of money are involved. Leaflet EX308 gives details of cases when unspecified amounts are being claimed against you.   Also please read forms EX326 and EX160A   How to Defend a Claim Against You   Disputed claims are handled by filling in the appropriate form from your response pack. You have three choices: Form N9, N9B or N9D. Read the note accompanying each form carefully to ensure you completely correctly. Pay special attention to the allegations raised on the form. If you don’t respond to each the court will assume you are admitting guilt.

Separately, can I ask you whether this is the car that you then bought unseen and at some distance from you? Has it come with an MOT and if so what date was the MOT and who gave it the MOT?

    • 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.

This may appear to be a medical post, but it's what will happen next money or benefits wise.

 

My daughter has Anorexia nervosa and traits of Autism, although autism not formally diagnosed. She has Social Anxiety and having been offered a place at College in September, she has announced that she doesn't want to attend, due to the social complications of attending. I'm not sure if she would get DLA for Anorexia Nervosa but she doesn't want to claim it anyway.

 

She has stated that she doesn't want to do anything. This is probably part of her A.N. diagnosis as fatigue is one of the symptoms. I realise that if she doesn't attend college, although she has to attend something, either that or 6th form or college, or I could continue home educating her, which is not an option.

 

I will lose Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit for her and she wont want to sign on, will she have to sign on even if she doesn't want to?( Not taking into acccount the huge financial strain it will have on me, sharing my ESA and DLA with her as she doesnt want to claim anything).

 

Sorry there is a question in there....Does she have to sign on? As far as Im aware she has to complete her 6th form education somewhere, what if she refuses to go? What are my options?

Have you explained to your daughter the financial implications that will be imposed on you.

 

Would it be possible for you to speak to the college and advise of the problems your daughter has, they might be able to confirm that she will have tutor support ?

College contact is a good idea. Talking to my daughter about imposed financial difficulty is something I get the feeling she has no care for. I don't think she understands that although she may chose not to eat, we still need to pay for her beloved internet, gas, electric etc, I'll give it a go. Thanks :)

Would she be able to register with careers service? If so you can still get tax credits for further 20 weeks?

 

https://www.gov.uk/child-tax-credit-when-child-reaches-16

 

Does she have no interest in working either? I was told at 15/16 I had anorexia (partial syndrome they said). I dropped out if school and went to college instead hoping the change of scenery, getting away for the school environment etc would help. Sadly it didn't help, I found concentrating and studying very difficult due to the tiredness but instead I started working full time at 17 and am still with the same employer. I feel it's the best decision I could have made and have since been able to get qualifications through my employment.

 

I know your daughters circumstances will be different, I just wanted to share my experience.

The problem with her starting work, is that relatively new law, where school students have to complete 6th form or attend 6th form college if they were born after a particular year. I'll have to speak to the college anyway, because when we made college support aware of her difficulties, A.N. wasn't a problem then, as it is now. She's already registered with Connextions, not that they've been much help. I'm hoping college may work better than school, only because the environment is nothing like school and her b/f and friends will be attending there. Fingers Crossed!!

Hopefully her college will be better than mine then. Mines was exactly like school and that's partly why it didn't work for me.

 

Know nothing about connexions - my point with that was that you can continue to get the child tax credits for 20 weeks if she does leave education. So could be helpful even if they are useless!

Hello

 

My son is currently 17 and left school this time last year, he hated school and also didnt want to go to college.

 

my advice would be to register with the college as if your daughter is going to start because then she will be registered as a student at an institution. my son did this but never attended. I know I sound like a bad mother and many parents would disagree but after watching my son vomit each morning before school for years because he hated it -I just wanted to take the pressure off him.

 

The government wants kids to stay on in education until the June after ther 17th birthday so she will not be able to claim any benefits.

 

My son also suffers from anxiety and could not be in a class room. he has basically been at home for a year- the college contacted us for a couple of months regarding attendance then it all wore off and no one hassled us (which just increases the anxiety)

 

He has matured over this year and gained confidence without peer pressure-he has just got a full time job -which I could never have imagined ( although low paid) but the main thing is he is happy.

 

Good luck - dont be pressured by the officials -education is not for everyone nd you know your daughter best

Thank you for your post. I took my daughter out of school, because it wasn't right for her and have home educated since Feb 2013. I guess my daughters needs are complicated by my Autism. That might sound like a strange statement, but for anyone that understands autism, its hard enough to bring yourself up let alone bring up children. Officials do terrify me and the thought of not getting it right for my daughter is just as terrifying. My life is a complete mess and this is not what I want for my daughter. She had an appointment tomorrow for Eating Disorder Clinic, but I couldn't admit to not having the cab fare to get her to and from the appointment, its about £20 round trip. Im also Agoraphobic and going out is really hard, with all the help that I do get, why can't anyone extend that help to my daughter, I can't put my Autism and Agoraphobia on hold, because she has an appointment. I just dont want to fail her, because of my problems

Amongst other services, they offer peer support. You may find networking with people undergoing situations similar to your own therapeutic.

You certainly need help from some quarter to ensure that you do not become financially disadvantaged even more than you already are due to your daughter's condition. The problem is she appears incapable of appreciating your dilemma.

Is there an advocacy service in your area? They can help you and/or your daughter to identify and address your concerns to relevant service providers.

I really do hope that you manage to get her to the ED service appointment tomorrow, that is far more important than anything else. If her BMI is less than 17.5 which it must be for an anorexia diagnosis, she really needs help sooner rather than later. If you are on an income related benefit such as ESA or JSA then you can claim the fare back. There are more fatalities with anorexia nervosa than any other mental illness.

That's very true, I can claim the fares back, but you have to have the money up front to be able to claim them and in my experience of claiming fares, they'll give you the cheapest route as payment, not what it actually cost you. I tried to reinstate the appointment, but alas its been given to someone else. I guess yesterday was not a day for decisions having just broken up with my partner of 6 years yesterday morning. All over the place, just isnt quite it! lol
