    • Page 33 general conditions  "Your duties You must contact us as soon as reasonably possible and provide all the information,  documents, evidence and help we need to settle your claim or pursue a recovery." Some policy wordings are more specific than others. But even in this policy example, this Insurer may decide not to offer renewal, if they are not informed of a potential claim, if they find out from third party first. It is your risk to take. Do nothing and you may never hear anything further or the third party armed with your registration number makes a claim and your Insurers are contacted. Then your Insurers see you as someone who is careless.  
    • Good evening, The court date for this is 3rd June and I've decided I will defend in court. Following some very interesting happenings in my other claim at court the other day (thread will be updated after this one) I am certain I want to defend this not because I'm confident of it's success, but rather I want to experience the day and press on my belief (I know it's only a belief) that a copy of DN and NOA's themselves, is not proof of serving, which MUST have taken place. Much better evidence of serving, would just be proof of postage or signature of recipient with the correct date, even without the letter copies themselves. Their evidence in exhibits is not strict proof. Law of Property Act 196(4) "Any notice required or authorised by this Act to be served shall also be sufficiently served, if it is sent by post in a registered letter........." Isn't a 'registered letter' proof of postage/receipt (signature)? It might not have mileage, but its my first claim and I will be levelled up for experiencing it and trying. Meaning I can make more informed decisions on the numerous others pending within months. including claim #2 Thank you for helping me get this far, I've learned so much already and already making better decisions on accounts I don't have a thread for. I welcome discussion, thanks

    • Hi,  I had a look through the credit agreement again, despite the signature looking legit I've noticed the below and wondered if they'd work as part of my defence, a)    The document headed ‘Your Personal Details’ has an office stamp which is unreadable. b)    On the above mentioned document under section ‘What to do next’ it states turn to agreement form on page 3 however 2 pages are provided. c)    The above mentioned document is unsigned & dated on behalf of Halifax PLC. d)    Two sets of documents headed ‘Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1974’ was received containing dissimilar information. Under Parties to this agreement, both papers contain different name / address of the banking institute as well as Defendants address. This document is not on letter headed paper, the layouts are different, paragraph numbers differ as does the document content. Thanks again for any help.

    • 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.

As has already been pointed out you need to show you have some sort of valid defence at the set aside hearing. All that is going to happen is that the judge will ask you well what is the defence then? You cant exactly reply well am not telling you till you give me a set aside!

If the cpr was sent after the judgement then theres nothing for them to comply with as judgment has been obtained

If your friend had moved and docs were sent to an old address then you coukd possibly argue your friend had no opportunity to defend but then if he moved and didnt inform them of his new address, he would be at fault.

 

It would help enormously if you could put things in chronological order so we can see exactly whats happened and when

  1. 11th Jan 2016 Received a letter from Cohen demanding £1800.00 within the next 7 days (Letter dated 5th Jan 2016)
  2. 16th Jan 2016 Received misdelivered and damaged letter presumably from a neighbour in the street.
    This letter is a claim form pack sent from Northampton CC dated 8th December 2015
    Logged into MCOL but judgment was already given on the 14th of Jan 2016.
    Option to set aside judgment.
    CCA and CPR sent to Lowell and Cohen using recorded delivery.
  3. 22nd Jan 2016 Cohen acknowledged CPR letter.
  4. 8th March 2016 An application to set aside (remove) judgment was submitted to the court with the following defence:
    "An Order to set Judgment aside for the reason that the Defendant did not receive notice of the proceedings. Royal Mail failed to deliver the court claim to The Defendant's address in good time as it was misdelivered. There is a history of Royal Mail failing to meet acceptable standards of delivery and the Defendant has many complaints registered with Royal Mail. The Defendant has an arguable defence if The Defendant is permitted to submit it. It would be in the interests of justice to set asideicon the Judgment and allow The Defendant to present a defence case."
  5. 16th March received "Notice of Hearing of Application" for setting aside judgment in May 2016.
    Claim transferred to the local county court.

The postal address on the claim is correct, but Royal Mail misdelivered it (along with many other postal items over a 12 month period).

Inbetween now and may you will have to construct a defence to present to the judge, so along with non receipt of claimform, which is a small part of the defence, will you be defending on the basis of no paperwok/holding?

 

I am assuming here that lowells did not supply a credit agreement after the CCA request

Construct a defence for setting aside or construct a defence to defend the claim?

 

Lowells did not supply a credit agreement after the CCA request.

Lowells then are in default of a statutory request, so, in addition to the postal issue, which i wouldnt elaborate too much on you then continue your defence in the same vein as 100's of other previous credit card defences. Holding/no paperwork.

As Andy points out its one defence for set aside and defending the claim

 

Hope that's clear, now you need to read up on how your defence should look

Setting aside the judgment was successful today.

 

 

Cohen claims to have all the paperwork including a statement which was dated yesterday.

 

 

Judge was unhappy with their timing and even more unhappy with the cheek of the solicitor

to ask for his expenses to be paid for today by the defendant!

The defendant "shouldn't be penalised" and that an arguable defence appears valid.

 

 

Cohen started to whine about not having enough time to comply with the new order (needing to go back to Vanquis)

and the defendant trying to win on a technicality.

The defence stated that they had more than enough time to sort out paperwork.

 

Cohen given 4 weeks to submit all the valid paperwork,

loan agreement, assignment, statement of the defendants account,

by filing at court and serving on the defendant, including the dubious "notice of default".

(A copy of the default notice AND evidence of service of the default notice)

 

Defendant given 2 weeks on top of that to submit a "fully particularised defence".

 

Regarding the evidence of service of the default notice,

does that mean a postal tracking service?

 

 

Does it mean when Vanquis should have sent it out by recorded delivery?

Or does that mean that a copy of it has to be sent out by recorded delivery within 4 weeks from today?

Well done PC.....

 

I doubt they will be able to comply and most probably discontinue.

well done.

there is no need for the creditor to send the default notice

by any other means than normal post, even 2nd class

as long as they give enough time before the defaulted date for it to arrive.

all they have to 'record' is that one was sent say in the account comms log.

Well the date the court set to submit the docs by the claimant has passed and I am not in receipt of any docs that was supposed to be served to the defendant and the court. No special deliveries, no recorded, no tracking.

Could they have sent it to the court and not the defendant and still be valid?

What happens next?

Check with the court ...see if they have complied with them..if not ask for it to be struck out.

Although it was set aside, I did ask for it to be struck out, due to non paperwork etc. and awaited confirmation on request.

Just recently the CCJ returned again as there was another hearing which I was completely unaware of and as such there was nobody to defend the claim, so judgment in default.

What can I do now? this is totally unfair.

How can they get judgment if they failed to comply with the courts directions of the previous hearing.......why did you not receive notification of the following hearing ?

I received nothing about any hearing or any date or any information about the status. Just have the letter with "defendant not attending".

Well to set a side you make application using the N244...there is a fee of £255 with hearing...unless you qualify for exemption....but I would be putting a spin on this of a court procedural error...and therefore they should correct it of their own accord.

 

You need to enquire with the court if the claimant complied with the directions stated at the last hearing dated xxxxxxx.Did the court type up a further order stipulating the directions ? Why did you not receive notification of any Order or Hearing date?

 

Once you have the above information we can look at if further...but you need to act quickly and look at the options stated on the Notice of Judgment ( I assume you have received this to know they have a CCJ?)

A hearing next week for setting aside again.

 

I have finally received some papers from lowell:

1. vanquis digital sign appl

2. default notice

3. account history with last payment made march 2010

4. notice of assignment

 

The biggest *problem* here is that the default notice is a sample notice with generic template information and no personal information.

 

As I understand it,

the default notice has to have been served to the defendant back in 2010.

Lowell in the past 12 months cannot produce a copy of the original default notice.

The defendant has never received a default notice either.

 

Also the notice of assignment raises concerns to.

There are 2 separate letters,

one from purporting to be from vanquis

the other from lowell.

 

Both are dated the same date and both have foot notes that have exactly the same wording and font.

 

Even the form/letter number is coded very similar and in the same style.

The opening hours on the vanquis letter are omitted/blank.

There is also no vanquis logo.

 

As it stands is my defence resting heavy on the failure to supply a copy of the original default notice?

 

Is that enough to strike out the claim?
