    • I don't think I've ever seen someone appeal a mags court decision on fare evasion, JK, but as you say in this case TiredDodo has pleaded guilty. It is possible to challenge, as below.

    • Update! I have now opened the mail from Barclaycard. I am assuming that their letters were prompted by my confirmation to them of my change of address, which I had advised them of twice. They are treating my change of address notification as a "General Data Protection Regulation Right of Access Request"  and state that I have made a "Right of Access Request. They are asking me to provide valid indentity documents! I have made no such request and am minded to ignore their request for extra information? I should add that their letters were sent to my correct current address!
    • Are you allowed to appeal if you plead guilty?   I know you appeal the sentence, but the criminal record formed from your guilt would surely remain?   I'm not sure if your able to appeal a crimianl record if you plead guilty are you?
    • DX: I did not pursue Link after I got the CCJ amended to monthly payments. Pretty sure the CCJ does not mention reviews, I do have the CCJ somewhere, I will have to look it up in storage. It is as mentioned on the thread you referenced  in your post #28. The Barclays loan was taken out in September 2004 for 60 months! Current Balance remaining approx £2K. On checking back my past correspondence with Barclaycard about this loan, there was a history of them ignoring my letters and offers to pay, and I even had problems in obtaining their bank account details for them to accept my payments! I have received strange correspondence from them too, one referring to insurance which I did not have. They seem very disorganised! Barclaycard told me to pay "Masterloan" a while back and I now receive regular statements and arrears notices from "Personal Loans from Barclaycard" clearly marked Masterloan, they changed the account reference number! I have never requested a CCA on this account. I advised them of my change of address last September, but they are still sending, until today, statements etc. to my old address! I have received 2 letters from Barclaycard Loan today though, not opened them yet!!
    • Yes, a few months ago. They wrote back saying there was no CCA and the debt was unenforcable. I then started gtting bombarded with threatening emails from their 'litigations team' which have been sent to spam. I've now recieved the letter before claim with the PAP form enclosed, but still no CCA or even a letter from them to say the debt is deemed enforcable. Thank you.

    • 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.

Hi people.

 

I emigrated to Ozz 3 years ago

 

 

in my absense Link Financial obtained a CCJ over an old disputed British Gas

originally finaced by GE money. Link bought the debt from GE.

 

The dispute was over the interest rate charged by GE money for the boiler.

In essence I did no sign the credit agreement.

 

The CCJ was issued on my old UK address. Today the court have agreed to set it aside,

in a telephone hearing which is great, but have instructed me to write a defence letter to Link and also the Court,

 

I acknowledged to the Court that I owe money for the Gas boiler.

 

I am confused as to what to write especially as link have said that due to commercial reasons they will no longer be pursuing the debt

. Will the CCJ still stand or is it dependent on my defence letter?

 

Love some sane advice...Thnaks

Hi dx, yes I do.

 

 

the judge also had this in evidence I sent to the Court for the hearing.

 

 

The exact wording was ''we have made a commercial decision to cease all further recovery action on the account''

Thanks dx.

 

The only thing confusing me is if the judge had this inforamtion in front of him, why do I have to file a defence?

 

Assume that the CCJ will be removed anyway

 

Thanks....

Hi dx thanks for getting back.

 

 

Unfortunately not as I am in Australia.

 

 

The judge read it out to me, but it only really cited the fact that they doubted that I lived in Australia when the CCJ was lodged 09/10/13.

 

The evidence that I sent in writing to the court proving my Australian residency and dates of entry into the country

was enough to satisfy the judge that the CCJ should be set aside.

 

I will call the court Friday morning for guidance.

 

Thanks...

I would assume you need to write a defence to counter the original claim

so whilst on the phone get that

verbatim would be nice.

might be an idea to record the call

You must submit a defence as the claim is proceeding.....only the initial judgment has been set a side....it now starts over.

Hi dx and Andy,

Really appreciate your advice. So my defence must refer to the original debt only, and why it has not been paid? Link have written to me telling me that they will 'cease all recovery action on the account' so do I ask them who I should contact in order to get this cleared up? eg GE Money, who sold the debt to Link?

Thanks

Hi Andy, sorry if i come across as a little simple! So write to Link [ and copy the court] saying that judgement has been set aside, and defend my reasons for non payment? Even if they have stated that they will not be taking any further recovery action?

 

Or just send them the papers I sent to the court that supported my successful action to get the CCJ set aside?

 

Thanks...again!

No need to write to Plink at all...they will be fully aware its been set a side...deal with the court only.

you will need to write a defence to respond to the POC on the claimform.

 

 

so get that, post it here verbatim if you wish

minus pers details

 

 

then we'll point you to a suitable defence to use/adapt.

Do you think they make these things deliberately confusing? I'm not simple either, but court procedure just leaves me completely baffled..:-x

If judge has set-aside judgment and reverted the process to the claim issued stage and now awaiting your defence to the initial claim, If claimant has confirmed they are no longer pursuing then I think the easiest thing would be to ask them to file & serve a Notice of Discontinuance (form N297) otherwise you'll have to proceed as normal and stick to any dates given.
