    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • 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.

I recently wrote to Lowells sending a CCA request following notification that they had purchased several catalogue debts from 'Shop Direct'

which I had to stop paying a few months ago.

 

 

The debts to each catalogue are of varying amounts from about £1500 to about £3,000 from memory.

 

They have responded today saying that they have requested a copy of the original agreement

but had sent me a letter of assignment which they claim fulfils their legal obligations.

 

I would like to ask whether they are legally obliged to send me the original credit agreement

and what further action they can take

 

 

.I own my own home.

Depends on the date the CCA was originally issued. They need to respond to your CCA request, with either a copy or reconstituted version. But in regard to enforcement in a court, if the CCA was issued before April 2007, they need the original or copy of it, if you defended the claim. For CCA's issued from April 2007 onwards they don't need the original or copy of it to enforce, only evidence that you owe the debt.

 

While the CCA request is still outstanding they should not try to enforce by issuing a court claim, but it is not unknown. Make sure you send a CCA request per debt.

 

Be aware that Lowells do use Bankruptcy and if you owe more than the threshold, which is £750 now, but increases to £5k in October, that they may consider this. But under CCA rules, Lowells should exhaust all other methods e.g CCJ, before they should use Bankruptcy.

We could do with some help from you.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.I will look at my paperwork to determine the exact amounts I owe each catalogue.That is interesting to know that the threshold increases to 5k from October.Does this mean that if the combined amounts of each catalogue do not exceed 5k then they cannot bankrupt me or is it calculated on a per catalogue basis ie each one treated as a seperate debt?

If they cannot bankrupt me then could they put a charge on my property and perhaps force me to sell to pay the debt?

Many thanks.

" They have responded today saying that they have requested a copy of the original agreement but had sent me a letter of assignment which they claim fulfills their legal obligations."

 

:nono: You didn't request a Notice of Assignment.....therefore they remain in default (12+2) days to respond and have not fulfilled their Legal obligations.As UB states make sure you send one per agreement...retain proof of postage and file safely.

Thanks Andy.Yes I have done this and sent one request for each catalogue and have retained my proof of postage.I believe it may now have gone over the 12 plus two days time now,however I am not sure how they can now legally proceed?The debt was taken out less than two years ago I think and so is post 2007.

Think it is either one debt or combined value of £5k. Lowells do collect debts belonging to one debtor and attempt to enforce.

 

From what i have seen recently, Lowells will look to get a CCJ first and yes if you did not pay they could use Bankruptcy. My understanding is that armed with an unpaid CCJ or CCJ's totalling at least £5k, that they could go straight for Bankruptcy. They would not bother for a charging order, when they could force the sale of the house as part of Bankruptcy.

 

There are a few example cases on here, where debts of a few thousand, have ended up with £30k being owed, as the Bankruptcy costs added can be huge. So you would be mad to let it get that far. If they supply the CCA's, you should come back for more advice.

Yes I certainly don't intend to let it get that far.If they can legally enforce the debt then I am intending to offer reduced monthly repayments but I would do this before it gets to the ccj stage as I dont want any more stress.
