    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • Well, they trashed their last election manifesto pledges, so nothing new really is it? They just find weasel words to try to claim they haven't actually failed if you just look at it just a little squinted and in this particular way  - and are stupid.

    • 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.

1,210.00 the amount due under an agreement between the original creditor and the defendant to provide finance and/orservices and/or goods

the debt was assigned to/purchased by Lowell portfolio Ltd on 05/04/2010 and noticed served pursuant to the law of property act 1925

The claim includes statutory interest pursuant to s.69 of the county act 1984 at a rate of8% per annum

this is for a littlewoods catalogue that she started before we got together and that was in 2004

 

 

i knew it had been assigned to Lowell and have had default notices from Lowell and not sure if she ever had default notices from littlewoods the original creditor.

 

 

she used a debt management program back in 2007/2008 but as it was only me working i couldn't continue to keep paying for her.

 

 

i hope this is enough info for you to direct me

Excellent...so as per the link above you will need to request information by way of CPR and a section 78 request(CCA) both templates can be found in the Legal Library...please complete them as per the instructions contained within the above link.

 

Also you have a time line now to adhere to (19 days from the date of the claim 29th August but do this ASAP) which can be done on line once registered to use the MCOL service.You then have a further 14 days to submit a defence if its your intention to defend the whole claim) so 33 days in total from and including the 29/08.

 

Regards

i intend to defend the claim and ell-enn she last made a payment back in 2008 sometime but

 

 

i can't pinpoint a date

BUT i did come home one day about 2 years ago

when a door stop collection bloke for Lowell was inside my home

 

 

so i quickly turfed him out and

 

 

she said she paid him £5 but never signed anything and

 

 

i then rang him later on telling him to never come back as my wife is very vulnerable because of her illness

and said i would have no problem paying her debt if he could come up with the credit agreement that has her signature on it and

 

 

after that i never heard from him again

Can I suggest that if you are sending a postal order you write on the back of it "fee for CCA request only - not to be used as payment" then take a photocopy of the front and back of the postal order and keep safe with your copy of the letter. Send by recorded delivery and keep the RD receipt safe so you can check on the royalmail website a few days after posting to print off the signature receipt - pin that to the copy letter and copy PO in case you need to prove it later.

All done copied and sent! If i don't receive the credit agreement with my wifes signature do i use that in my defence statement as i don't have a clue about how to state my defence and do i type that in online on the MCOL service site?

 

No you look at other threads and see how defences are drafted and try editing one to suit your particulars...post here before you submit anything through MCOL.

Hi i received a letter back from BC today, I will have to type it out as my scanner has decided to be a pain today

 

 

We write to your letter of 2nd Sept 2014 requesting disclosure under part 31 of the civil procedures rules.

 

 

We confirm the claim form was issued by the county court business centre and that the court's protocol was followed when issuing the claimant's particulars of claim. Practice Direction 7C point 1.4 (3A) eliminates the requirement to attach the documents to the particulars of claim when they are issued by this court

 

 

We confirm this matter will most properly be allocated to the small claims track as this is is a simple contractual matter and part 31 of the civil procedure rules will therefore not apply. In any event the Notices of Default and Assignment left the control of the claimant when they were dispatched to you.

 

 

It is the original creditor's policy to issue agreements at the start of the contract and statements throughout the duration of the agreement and, in this regard, we ask you to refer to your own records.

 

 

We confirm out client is not agreeable to an extension for filing your defence.

 

 

As you will be aware a claim was issued in this matter on 28th August 2014 and we are not in receipt of your acknowledgement of service. Please respond to the claim etc etc etc

Yep i responded to the claim on MCOL the same day as i received it which was the 2nd, surely its down to them to produce the documents to prove the agreement and not for me to look in my records, I didn't send BC a copy of the CCA request i sent to Lowell so should i let BC know i have requested it from Lowell?
