    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.    
    • Welcome to posting on CAG cabot, people will be along soon to help you try to sort this out. Please complete this:  
    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx

    • 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.

Another good one was old computer games - I am 40 so was in to my Commodore 64. I used to buy the games, get them home and then record the games (before they had security which meant you could not copy them like the new stuff) on a blank tape - took game back for a refund saying "got this as a present and someone bought me the same one" so had the game and money!

Bit mean sending the book back

 

Don't judge a book by it's cover my friend and I suffered much hardship when her benefit stopped, I had to support her, my young son, two pets and myself, paying rent, council tax, utility bills and food shopping on my Income Support money. I had no penny to rub together that book costs £500. When Cathy benefit was reinstated we used the back payment to purchased the book how ironic but we don't need the book because we found the right place to go for all the benefit laws.

 

The seller was happy to refund before the 14 days was due besides I do not need to explain to you its dog eat dog world out there you keep hold of every penny once you've experienced starvation even my poor pets was suffering. pfff.

Depends who the seller was. I purchased a book through an ebay trader, and now they spam my email account with junk "offers"....

 

Helen2264: Well done on all the hard work you have put in over the last year. It must have been very stressful on both you and Cathy.

 

Thank you Paul, Cathy and I suffered so much she gave up and was suicidal, we've been back and forth to her GP even her GP stood up for her and told me to tell the DWP to ring him so he can speak to them. I became ill myself too and could not take anymore, you either sink or swim I chose to swim back up and fight with everything I had Cathy's case is genuine I didn't expect for her to be put in the Support Group especially after the Compliance officer interview I gave it my all in that meeting I had a feeling the interview was to stop Cathy's benefit yet again, I just could not let that happen I was well prepared for that Compliance interview but the Compliance Officer was not prepare for what happened, I ended up interrogation her instead the DWP and ATOS are corrupt to the core and making too many people suffer.

 

When the Compliance Officer abandoned the meeting I knew we won, I threaten her with legal action should Cathy's benefit stopped there and then that did the trick. DWP staff are cowards they will not give out the Jobcentre Plus managers names. I have all the managers names from the 3 Jobcentre Plus offices who deal with Cathy's benefit I sent letters to the 3 and threaten legal action I think in the end they've decided put Cathy in the Support Group to keep her quiet besides the DWP and ATOS was always at fault right from the beginning and they know it.

 

Never give up just keep fighting if one cannot then get someone who can help. lol The compliance officer even said to Cathy, she is lucky to have a friend like me who fight for her that her trying to be nice once she knew she'd lost that war.

I remember Cathy's story and I'm very glad it's all turned out right; she has a great - and most formidable - friend in you. Hope things are easier for her from now on.

 

Regarding buying a book, reading it then sending it back.. I can't criticise that as in my fashon-crazy youth we would buy a new shirt to wear on Friday night at the disco then return it to the shop on Saturday morning (hopefully not beer-stained), make an excuse like 'unwanted gift' and get a refund. Repeat with different shop next week, etc

 

I was just 'wearing-in' the shirts to make them comfortable for the next person, that's how I saw it :)

 

Thank you for your kind comments that book is very expensive just the welfare one costs £500 the whole book cost thousands of pounds google it you'll found out. Desperate times call for desperate measure I'm no solicitor to keep the book besides I bought the 4th edition much, much cheaper I've kept that one but the 5th edition was going back lol.
