    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 all,

 

Hoping somebody may be able to shed some light on my question..

 

I have a judgment against an individual.

 

I have come to realise his name is misspelt on the judgment.

 

Have been advised by the court to make a formal application to correct this using an N244 form 'Notice Application'.

 

My question really is regarding what court fee I am supposed to pay.

 

Ive read the official fee guide but it doesn't make it very clear regarding this type of application.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Ive already emailed the courts to ask but thought somebody may have the answer on here.

 

Thanks in advance

I think that it may be about £150 now. You will have to ask the courts.

 

Is the misspelling very serious? Was the case defended or was it a default?

 

If it was defended and he didn't object to the name then frankly I would proceed as is.

Should be ex parte (without hearing ) fee is £50.

You will have to have the Notice of Judgment re served in the correct spelling.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply BankFodder and andyorch.

 

Its just a case of the name should be 'Stephen' rather than 'Steven'. The case was defended but then he didn't turn up. I've had it a while, even have a charging order on a property so name hasn't been an issue so far.

 

It's only become a possible issue for me as I'm going to issue a 'Third Party Debt Order'. I want to avoid any confusion with the bank and thought it best I get it updated to the correct spelling.

 

Thanks again for the response

Hi all,

 

My post is fairly general in that I'm curious as to whether anybody has any experience in petitioning to make an individual bankrupt?

 

A little background..

 

In 2008 my father handed over a large amount of money to a family friend who promised to invest and pay back. To cut a long story short the money was never returned. We decided to action via county court, which we did and won. We are currently pursuing various enforcement actions but as you can imagine its proving difficult.

 

Getting to the point we have been discussing bankruptcy as a final course of action. We understand we may never see this money again but feel it may at least bring some closure for us.

 

Has anybody been down this route? How did you find the whole experience?

 

Any comments or experience welcome

 

Thanks in advance

It will be a long, drawn out and complicated procedure that will cost you the best part of a grand upfront with no promise of a great return on the debt.

 

Have you considered a Charging Order?

Thanks for the reply Ganymede. Yeah my assumption was a long drawn out affair. Yeah we have a charging order in place on a property the person owns already. The problem we have is ascertaining what, if any, value there is in terms of equity. We are currently attempting to use an 'order to obtain information' however its proving difficult due to the person evading personal service.

 

Ive read in other forums and what not that if a bankruptcy was granted then the debtors assetts and financial circumstances can be investigated. I strongly believe the person may have other substantial assets however it's very difficult to prove.

 

I don't mind the long drawn out part..nor the money involved in doing it to be honest..I guess I'm just looking for some closure on the matter one way or another.

You won't get the full amount either as it's likely you'll only get a certain pence in the pound along with all the other creditors.

 

It will depend if the guy is insolvent.

I see, interesting point. I guess it would be a gamble as the person could potential owe dozens of people, thus reducing any money we would receive. If at all that is :)

 

I'm aware of one other CCJ that exists. Do you know of any means to determine who else he owes money too? Through my own fumbling around the internet it seems very unlikely due to DPA but thought Id ask anyways.

Debts that haven't reached IVA / CCJ stage - nothing 100% reliable (while still legal).

 

Is / was the debtor in a close relationship with anyone who might "dish the dirt", especially if they too have been bilked?

If they are evading service of a court order to provide information, how do you plan to serve the statutory demand prior to commencing bankruptcy proceedings?

 

That's the million dollar question :) I have read other cases where an alternate method of service was used but I assume that would have to be sanctioned by a DJ. It's certainly an issue and need some serious thought on the matter.

 

As for 'dirt dishing' sadly not to my knowledge. He lives with his parents and quite frankly they are protecting him by lying about his identity. A good thought tho..perhaps a door to door canvas in his area would reveal something :)

 

Andy - thanks for the link, I will take a look at that.

Is it time he won a competition?

 

(Did not the police lure some "baddies" out of hiding by telling them they won a competition? Is that urban legend??)

 

If the target enjoys "something for nothing" would that be an option to lure them out, and would it risk making a process server's "serving" invalid?

 

If the process server isn't aware of the "lure", would that invalidate the service?

You would need to apply to Court for substituted service and then post the Stat Demand.

 

That was my understanding also. Thanks for the advice. It's fairly academic at the moment as we havn't decided whether its the right route for us but it's certainly helpful being able to clarify these details in advance.

Its a good idea as money, or the prospect of money, would certainly peak his interest. I intend to contact some process servers, i shall ask the question :) I'm sure we've all seen pleanty of american films where court documents were served through misdirection. A singing telegram comes to mind :)

I've served someone with a SD in the past.

 

It was a combination of believing it was "won't pay" rather than "can't pay", but also that I was in a position financially where I could take the chance they wouldn't pay up, and that I would have to fund the bankruptcy, but it was worth it to me ("por discouragez les autres" : that word would get around that it wasn't worth bilking me).

 

They knew it wasn't a bluff, and I felt it was worth the risk of loss to me for their case to bolster my reputation for "not bluffing" and making their life difficult. They paid up.

 

What I didn't know was that they had borrowed from me despite being in an IVA. (This came out later).

I don't know if that made matters worse (less likely for them to be solvent and be able to repay) or better (they didn't want their lies to their Insolvency Practitioner to come out!).

I can only presume they borrowed elsewhere to repay me : & I can only hope the new lender didn't get bilked!

I saw some TV programmes where the creditor apply to the High Court for enforcement and a lot of the money was retrieved. Going the bankruptcy route you involve other creditors

 

Little use if it isn't a business as the debtor (so no right of entry to premises) in combination with the debtor not having seizable (/ apparent) assets.....

HCEO was one of the first enforcements we took. The reason being the person owns, or at least did own, a very expensive car. BazzaS is right however in that with it being non-commercial its difficult if not impossible to get results as all they need to do is simple refuse entry. I have allowed them to keep trying however if only to keep pressure on.

 

I'm glad your tactics worked BazzaS, always good to hear a success story :)

If the error was the court's fault they should correct it without charging a fee under the so-called slip rule. Try a letter or email.

 

Hi legalistic, thanks for the advice. It was definitely our mistake from the get go. Spoke to the court who advised it should only be £50 so just gotta take it on the chin :)
