    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

My current sick note runs out on Tuesday 17th which was signed from the doctor. I am right in thinking the DWP always give you a weeks grace and would therefore put expiry at 23rd. I am due at my local Job Centre on Monday 16th to see my ESA adviser. Do you think its wise to order a sick note on Thursday 12th to be able to take to the Job Centre on the 16th. I don't always have to see doctor to get note it can be signed then left at reception after a request has been made. Usually takes 24 hours. Or should I wait till I receive a letter saying my sick note is about to run out please return another sick note by the 23rd(more than likely date). I am due to get paid on the 17th and 31st March then on into April 14th. I may then be in the same dilemma next month as would run out on 12th or 18th to DWP in April if give 7 days grace. My doctor gave me a note for a month last time and did say on the note he would not require to see me to issue the next one or however it explains it on the note.

I believe that when the (un)fit note runs out, it runs out. There is no 'grace' period. And do not rely on the DWP to advise you when to send in a new one.

I always sent off a new note at least 7 days before the last one was due to expire. Put the date in your diary or on a calendar. It doesn't matter if you send them in before the current one reaches it's expiry date. The key thing to remember is no note, no money.

Thanks I shall put a request for one in tomorrow by telephoning my surgery. Probably more than likely fax it through to them at the Job Centre on the 16th when i go for my appointment there

Good thing phoned today because doctor has requested to see me before issuing note. Got to phone surgery on Monday now to see if I can get a appointment as there was none available today.

It might be prudent to remind your GP that until you are awarded ESA you'll be requesting repeat (un)fit notes (as long as you are ill, of course) as that is a requirement of the assessment phase. Whilst my case was extreme, I ended up having to send them in for 4 years.

I am ill and will mention about my claim for ESA. I think my doctor wants to see me, to see how I am progressing along. The conditions I am claiming for may improve over time. Although at the moment I struggle to be able to work with it. This may improve over time.

I don't know if every surgery does this; but I remember my old surgery said I had to see the GP before they can issue a sick note.

Think at my surgery depends on what's wrong with you. I know you have to see particular doctor or it has be checked with him.

 

before note can be issued. You can request one but he may request to see you.

All went well and doctor gave me another note to cover me till the 13th April. I shall book another appointment on this date tomorrow so that can be reassessed then and see how I am progressing.

Try and get an appointment for a week before. You need to allow time for the note to be posted, received and processed before the 13th of April if you don't want to risk a break in payments.

I will do the only thing is a payday falls on the 14th which probably be ok for this month but subsequent months may suffer. Unless I just go by every time I get issued a note from the doctor.

I have booked my next appointment for the 14th April. My problem is whether I see the doctor, I tend to get quite anxious and nervous. Don't feel relaxed and able to tell the doctor truly how I'm feeling or what I may be ill with. Therefore he probably struggles to give a proper diagnosis. The last time I went he said I will give you another month and then we will look at getting you available for work then. I'm not sure whether I will feel ready then. I need to express these feelings to him but struggle to express how I truly feel so he can give me a proper diagnosis. Anybody got any advice with overcoming this please.

I was about to suggest that, hb. If you know which doctor you're seeing, you can always write your feelings down, put the letter in an envelope, mark it private for his / her attention and then hand it in at the surgery a few days or so before your appointment. that way he / she would have read it before you go in and all your appointment time will be for your benefit. I did this, oh, probably about seven years ago with a subject I knew would be difficult for me to broach with my GP initially. Worked perfectly.

:A Note to the Doctor:

 

Yes, this can work a treat. My notes strategy started when the list of prescription items I needed got too long to remember. Then it evolved from a list of what I wanted to talk about, so I didn't forget anything, into a short statement of what I wanted to ask/say. Don't do it for every visit, just multi issue ones. Or the complexities that arise from discharging oneself from hospital, or following a row with a consultant. (The two weren't connected.) :-)

 

Actually this strategy works for hospital apointments as well, especially if you get a different face every time. Saves lots of ums, errs, and at least twenty questions. Just ask the receptionist to add your letter, notes, statement to your file. At the doctor's I just hand what I've written to the doctor and sit there while she reads it.

 

Margaret.

  • 4 months later...

My next appointment is 25th August at 7pm. I am considering discharging myself from the psychologist as Im coping with my anxiety much better, this has been on my note for the pst three months. I was given a two month note by a different doctor last time. I do still have other problems which hinder me working. I did put basically all of them on my ESA50 form just after claiming. One of those other problems will have to go on note if I don't rebook the psychologist. Shall I just book the psychologist again and get a note for my anxiety again. I don't want to be refused a fit note as it would mean going a month without money because I'd have to go onto universal credit (JSA).

If you're capable of working then you go onto UC/JSA - it's not acceptable to draw things out just to claim esa - it's called fraud.

 

On the other hand, if your other conditions genuinely prevent you from working, and your doctor agrees, then these should go on the med cert.
