    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Good afternoon

 

I have been pointed in the direction of this forum after receiving a claim form for what was originally a vanquis credit card debt, card was taken out in November of 2006

 

I have been reading some threads with similar circumstances to mine but I would still like some advice please from anyone who would be able to help me.

 

Name of claiant? Cabot

Date of issue? 1 April 2015 (rubbish April fools)

 

What is the claim for?

 

The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 being monies due from the defendant

the claimant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and vanquis

and assigned to the claimant on 9/2/2015, notice of which has been provided to the defendant.

 

2. The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement

and a default notice has been served pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974

 

3. The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 and costs

 

4. The claimant has complied as far as necessary with the pre-action conduct direction

 

What is the value of the claim? £722.22

Is the claim for a a current or credit/loan account or mobile phone account? Credit card

When did you enter into the agreement? Nov 2006

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor

or was the account assigned and is the debt purchaser who has issued the claim? Dca

Where you aware the account had been assigned, did you receive a notice of assignment?

I received a letter a few weeks back, buried head in sand, didn't read it and binned it.

Did you receive a default notice from original creditor? Quite possibly, again I've had finance head in the sand

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed notice of default sums at least once a year? Not sure, as above answer sorry.

Why did you cease payments? Massive change in family life jobs move of area financially stumped for about 12 months

What was the date of your last payment? Early 2010 I think, could be sometime in 2009

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

and make efforts to enter a debt management plan?

 

 

I did yes, for sometime vanquis set up some thing on the account that reduced payments for a while, unsure as to what this was but it was only for a total of three months, this made litte or no difference to the account. They kept adding on charges that increased my bill mAssively. Pretty sure the original limit on the account was only £200, at most £250 yet now stands at £522 so most of this is charges, infect over half the debt is charges.

I need help in order to resolve this. I did have a credit card with them but never for £522. Can they get away with inflating the bill with charges. I have read on here about a cca? Please could someone explain this to me and how to move forward?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi there

 

CCA template is available here. Send to the people issuing the claim. £1 postal order,

 

Send a CPR31.14 request to the solicitor named on the claim form for copies of documents mentioned/implied within the claim form. There are two different versions - one for Loans/Credit cards the other for Current accounts

Hi

 

Yes the debt is showing on my noddle credit file.

 

Start date : 13/11/2006

Date of default : 31/03/2011

Opening balance : £548

Default balance : £548

 

Listed as a credit card debt with Cabot financial. Amount differs from the £592.22 listed on paticulars of claim (this is the amount listed before court fees and solicitors costs)

 

There's lots of red dot missed payments listed as far back up to May 2014 nothing past this, I'm not sure if that's just as far back noddle lists it or if it makes any difference

 

Thank you

Could be 2009, Deffinatley nothing after summer 2010 as that's when I moved area and things went a little wrong. Would I get this information when I send off my requests? It's going to be close to the six years I think.

 

Thankyou

Getting information regarding last payments, maybe consider a Subject Access Request to the original company. This may take 42 days though so time is of the essence! Look for other sources of info just in case the sar is not completed in time. Bank statements, online account statements?

Managed to get someone to talk!

 

Last payment was for £20 on 30th July 2010.

 

 

They can't tell me any payment before this, can't remember paying this amount off because I was literally paying sporadic £5-£10 payments never no more.

 

 

They also can't confirm how this payment was made so I can check it about bank cards etc.

 

Only thing they advised me to do is write to them then they write back if payment is needed to access this information.

Reply from Cabot

 

Than you for your request for information under the consumer credit act 1974. Cabot financial does not currently have this information on file. However we have requested the relevant information under section 77 and/or section 78 of the consumer credit act 1974 from the original lender.

 

We anticipate that we will be able to provide this information within 40 days. In the event that we are unlikely to obtain this information within those time limits, we will write to you again.

 

 

Now this 40 day thing bothers me as it won't be back in time to file my defence and I thought I only had to give 12 plus 2 days?

 

Please can someone advise I would be very greatful as im completely baffled trying to get my head around what to do.

 

Thank you so much

Me again.

 

 

I've been looking at other similar cases on here regarding court and credit cards and lack of information back from the creditors.

 

 

Is there any sort of template for this defence?

 

 

I'm going to admit that I'm not very clued up at all on any of the legal terms people have put in theirs

and could do with a bit of guidance or just a finger point in the right direction

as my defence is due by Monday and Im going no to be occupied with work all weekend

 

 

thankyou

POC

 

1.The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 being monies due from the defendant

the claimant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and vanquis

and assigned to the claimant on 9/2/2015, notice of which has been provided to the defendant.

 

2. The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement

and a default notice has been served pursuant to the consumer creditlink3.gif act 1974

 

3. The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 and costs

 

4. The claimant has complied as far as necessary with the pre-action conduct direction

 

 

My Defence

 

1, the defendant contends that the paticulars of the claim are vague and generic in nature. the defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 in relation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

2, paragraph one is noted from vague recollection i have had financial dealings with vanquis bank in the past

but i am unsure as to what the claimants refer to or the account number in question.

 

3, paragraph 2 is denied as i have never been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974.

 

4, on receipt of the claim i immediatley requested copies of any documents or information that would support the claim.

the request was made by CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.

the claimant has ignored this request and remain in default.

i understand that until their compliance the calimant is unable to request any relief to enforce any agreement.

 

5, until such time the claimant complies i deny any liability to the claimant and put the claimant to strict proof to

a, show how the defendant has entered into a agreement with the claimant;

b, show how the claimant has reached the ampunt claimed for

c, show how the calimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim:

 

6; as per civil procedure rule 16.5(4) it is expected that the claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

7;by reason of the facts and matters above it is denied that the calimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all

3, paragraph 2 is denied as i have never been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974.

 

 

4, paragraph 3 is denied with regards to a amount due under a agreement. The claimant has failed to disclose any agreement or statements on which its case relies on.

 

 

5, on receipt of the claim i immediatley requested copies of any documents or information that would support the claim. the request was made by CPR 31.14 and section 78 request. the claimant has ignored this request and remain in default. i understand that until their compliance the calimant is unable to request any relief to enforce any agreement.

I appear to have paragraphed their particulars wrongly for you

 

 

try this:

 

 

1.The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 being monies due from the defendant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and vanquis

 

2. And assigned to the claimant on 9/2/2015, notice of which has been provided to the defendant.

 

3. The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974

 

4. The claimant claims the sum of £592.22 and costs. The claimant has complied as far as necessary with the pre-action conduct direction

 

 

and match your defence to it sorry
