    • it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other than using a DCA, whom are legally powerless and are not BAILIFFS. Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities etc were decriminalised years ago - meaning they no longer can progress a claim to the magistrates court to enforce, but go directly to legal enforcement via a real BAILIFF themselves. 10'000 of people waste £m's paying private parking companies because they think they are FINES...and the media do not help either. the more people read the above the less income this shark industry get. where your post said fine it now says charge .............. please fill out the Q&A ASAP. dx  
    • Well done on reading the other threads. If ECP haven't got the guts to do court then there is no reason to pay them. From other threads there is a 35-minute free stay after which you need to pay, with the signs hidden where no-one will read them.  Which probably explains why ECP threaten this & threaten that, but in the end daren't do court. As for your employer - well you can out yourself as the driver to ECP so the hamster bedding will arrive at yours.  Get your employer to do that using the e-mail address under Appeals and Transfer Of Liability.  
    • good you are getting there. Lloyds/TSb...i certainly would not be risking possible off-setting going on if a choice were there, but in all honestly thats obv too late now..., however..you might not never be in that situation so dont worry too much. regardless to being defaulted or not, if any debt that is not paid/used in 6yrs it becomes statute barred. you need to understand a couple of things like 'default' and 'default notice' a default is simply a recorded D in the calendar section/history of a debt, it does not really mean anything. might slightly hit your rating. the important thing here is a default notice , these are issued by the original creditor (OC) under the consumer credit act, it gives you 14 days to settle whatever they are asking, if you don't then they have the option to register a defaulted date on your credit file. that can make getting other credit more difficult. and hits your rating. once that happens, not matter what you do after that, paying it or not or not paid off or not, the whole account vanishes from your credit file on the DN's 6th b'day. though that might not necessarily mean the debt is not still owed - thats down to the SB date above. an OC very rarely does court and only the OWNER of a debt can instigate any court action (Attempted a CCJ) DCA's debt collection agencies - DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS they have ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's TYPE. an OC make pass a debt to a dca as their client to try and spoof people into paying through legal ignorance of the above statement. an OC may SELL on an old debt to a DCA/debt buyer (approx 10p=£1) and then claim their losses through tax write off and their business insurance, wiping their hands of the debt. the DCA then becomes the debt OWNER. since the late 70's dca's pull all kinds of 'stunts' through threat-o-grams to spoof a debtor into paying them the full value of the debt, when they bought if for a discounted sum (typically 10p=£1). you never pay a dca a penny! if read carefully, NONE of their letters nor those of any other 'trading names' they spoof themselves under making it seem it's going up some kind of legitimate legal 'chain' say WILL anything....just carefully worded letters with all kinds of threats of what could/might/poss happen with other such words as instruct forward pass... well my dog does not sit when instructed too...so... DCA's SOMETIMES will issue a court claim, but in all honesty its simply a speculative claim hoping mugs wet themselves and cough up...oh im going to court... BIG DEAL DCA - show me the enforceable paperwork signed by me...9/10 they dont have it and if your defence is conducted properly, most run away from you . however before they do all that they now have to send a letter of claim, cause the courts got fed up with them issuing +750'000PA speculative claims and jamming up the legal system. so bottom line is two conclusions.... if you cant pay a debt, get a DN issued ASAP (stop paying it!) make sure it gets registered on your file then it stops hurting your file/future credit in 6yrs regardless to what happens (bar of course a later DCA CCJ - fat chance mind!)  once you've a registered DN , then look into restarting payments if the debt is still owed by the OC, if SOLD to a DCA, don't pay - see if they issue a letter of claim (then comeback here!).

    • 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.

Hello,

 

I received a sealed N1 Form a few days ago from MCOL. I don't wish to disclose too much about the claim by fear that the Claimant might read this forum.

 

I signed an order form with this trader after receiving a quote for 2 different jobs: part 1 and part 2. The cost was on the quote. Not on the order form. The terms and conditions attached by the trader only seem to cover part 2. They do not feature any breach of contract clause (although references to breach of contract are made throughout the document). Part 1 was supposed to take 1 day. Part 2 was supposed to take another day.

 

After 1h, the trader decided not to complete part 1 and buggered off. He then sent me an invoice asking for full payment of Part 1. I chose to ignore. He then sent my wife two unsealed N1 forms. Our two names were on both forms. Later, he made a claim through MCOL and we received two sealed N1 Forms: one for me, one for my wife. No Particulars of claims were attached as the claimant stated on the N1 Form they would follow. To this date I haven't received the POC. MCOL hasn't received them either.

 

This morning I emailed MCOL ccmcce.etc... with our two acknowledgements of service. I also emailed them scans of the envelopes and unsealed N1 forms asking them for their views. I have until early July to send back our defence. I wish of course to defend against the full amount of the claim.

 

A few questions for the experts on this forum:

 

- I wonder what my next step should be? Should I send a CPR 31.16 letter to the Claimant? Or a CPR Part 18? Or nothing?

- Will I receive confirmation from MCOL that I have an extra 14 days?

- Since I signed the order form, how can I close the claim against my wife - the second defendant?

- Can I use the fact that the T&Cs attached to the order do not cover for Part 1 and do not feature a breach of contract clause, or liabilities covering this claim, to defend against the full amount of the claim?

- Can I use the fact that the contractor breached the contract without "substantially performing its obligations" to defend?

- The contractor was supposed to send 5 workers and only sent 2. Can I use this for misrepresentation?

- Any other advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

If there is information you require that you don't have, you can send a CPR part 18 request. This is a request for information only - depending on their responses, you can then request copies of documents. Although if this is small claim, directions will be given for disclosure later on before any hearing.

 

CPR 31.16 is a request for copies of documents - agreements, etc.

 

MCOL staff are neither qualified or permitted to provide advice on what you need to do.

 

You have 33 days from the date of issue to submit your claim.

 

Issue date + 5 for service = ?? + 14 days to acknowledge = ?? + 14 days to submit defence.

 

I would think if they have not sent their Particulars of claim, then your defence would reflect that as you do not know what claim you have to answer !

 

I am unable to answer your other questions - I am sure others will be along to advise.

 

Please note.. CPR 31.16 is incorrect - this should be CPR 31.14

sorry.. my fault I said 31.16.

 

 

You can find a draft 31.14 request in the CAG library - link in my signature or in green at the top left of the screen.

 

What "information" would you be looking to obtain via a CPR part 18 ?

 

I have attached a draft that was for something totally different.. but you can see how it is laid out. Please remember this was drafted for a specific purpose and only the format should be used.. not the content.

In particular CPR 16 .3.1 onwards...

CPR 7.4 onwards.

 

You cant use a CPR 31.14...nothing in the particulars...I wouldnt advise a CPR 18 either...better to go along the route of failure to particularise CPR 16 and get it thrown out.

So I do nothing, and wait for the claim to be potentially thrown out? Sorry I like to double check when I'm not clear. And if I receive a POC then I go for 31.14 and nail the trader with my questions.

Paul I will go into further detail later this evening with what options are open to you...once i have digested your thread properly......

 

Acknowledge the claim for now (you have 19 days from the date on the claim ..date being day 1) and defend all for now.

How did the trader know your wife's name?

The particular of claims box is empty. The Claimant crossed "attached" so the POC are to follow. The bit of verbatim on page 1 of the N1 form (i.e. under the brief detail of claim heading), I've sent you by PM. Sorry could;t figure out how to send a scan.

Still no POC received. The court says they haven't received it or processed it either. The claimant has another 4 days to send me the POC. If he doesn't what should be my next step? Embarrassed Witness statement?

Share on other sites

If as you state it says " Particulars are to follow " you didnt have to acknowledge service until receipt of the separate particulars CPR 10 PD3 1 a...you then have 14 days to acknowledge.The claimant has 4 months to comply and serve the separate particulars.

 

As you have now acknowledged...in effect the 33 days has commenced...and as such a defence must now be submitted to avoid default judgment.You could contact the claimant and ask them serve the separate particulars as stated in their claim or discontinue their claim CPR 7.7

 

Application by defendant for service of claim form

 

CPR7.7

 

(1) Where a claim form has been issued against a defendant, but has not yet been served on him, the defendant may serve a notice on the claimant requiring him to serve the claim form or discontinue the claim within a period specified in the notice.

(2) The period specified in a notice served under paragraph (1) must be at least 14 days after service of the notice.

(3) If the claimant fails to comply with the notice, the court may, on the application of the defendant –

(a) dismiss the claim; or

(b) make any other order it thinks just.

Hi,

 

I believe that 7.7 applies when the claim hasn't been served on the defendant.

 

In my case the claim form has been served directly by the Court (registered letters) with a date of service of xxth June 2015. The Claimant has 14 days from this date to send me and the court the POC.

 

Particulars of claim

7.4

(1) Particulars of claim must –

(a) be contained in or served with the claim form; or

(b) subject to paragraph (2) be served on the defendant by the claimant within 14 days after service of the claim form.

(2) Particulars of claim must be served on the defendant no later than the latest time for serving a claim form.

 

Now let's suppose the Claimant doesn't send us the POC but tells the court it did. Then if I don't AOS and Defend, the Claimant will get a default judgement in his favour. That's why I did fill the AOS early. According to 7.4 the claimant has until a few days left to send me the POC. After that I will ask for the Claim to be struck out.

 

In the meantime, I've received an email from the court telling me that the judge was looking into the unsealed N1 Forms that the Claimant sent me. I hope that this, the missing POC, and the nature of the claimant business might be enough for the judge to see through it and struck it out.

 

Paul
