    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. 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. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

This article reminded me of the number of deaths that occur most years, when people walk through farm land, without understanding the dangers. Cows, particularly with young calves will be quite protective and if you walk through their field, even on a footpath, you might be at risk of injury.

 

I regularly walk through fields containing Cows and sheep, so am use to reading their behaviour. With cows, they can have calves at any time of the year, but at this time of the year there will be more. If the Cows see you entering the field and the herd becomes suddenly alert heading in your direction, it is best if you take a quick exit. If the cows are mostly relaxed eating grass, they probably won't bother you, but do keep safe distance particularly if you have a dog. If you have a dog and cows approach, you should make a quick exit or at least let the dog off a lead. Cows may attack people with dogs, as they see the dog as a threat.

 

If you are in the middle of a field and cows approach, don't assume you will be attacked. Cows are very inquisitive and they will approach you sometimes, probably to see if you have food. Just calmly walk to the nearest exit and don't run away or shout. I have been surrounded by herds of cows on a number of occasions and it is quite intimidating. They will come to within about 10 feet and even circle around you. If you calmly just continue your walk at a slow pace, they will probably just follow you to where you exit the field. If you have a dog, let it off the lead in this situation. Best not to walk with dogs in fields with farm animals, unless you know the farm and the animals.

 

With sheep, they don't represent any danger, but they are very nervous animals, so do not walk too close to them and dogs must be kept on a lead. Locally a farmer has lost a number of sheep due to dog attacks. They literally get worried to death.

 

Enjoy the countryside, but do think about your safety and that of the animals. There is plenty of information about safety online, so do look at that.

Tragic story, I think the public should be more aware when walking through farmland.

 

 

I am not too sure about letting a dog off lead if approached by cattle, though Uncle B - especially as farmers have the right to shoot them if they even suspect they are a danger to their livestock !

A tragic story as citizenB says.

And glad that unclebulgaria67 has put this story on and raised awareness.

 

As a Townie myself i have only been in a field of cows when fishing when young and once in the Lake District walking in Coniston or thereabouts.

 

I did get a little uneasy when they came close,larger than i had imagined.Seemed handsome beasts.Nice big eyes as i remember.And as you say they can shift a bit.

I had not even thought of them as dangerous,as i think of Bulls.

Anyway i will take more care in the future.

With bulls, you should never go in a field where they are alone. If they are with cows, they are apparently less of a risk, but still not wise. I have seen a farmer let out 2 bulls and cows into a field where there was a public footpath. The 2 bulls were fighting for dominance with a head charge. They stand about 10 feet from each other and charge at each other butting heads. I was stood about 30 feet away behind a gate and the ground shook. Very impressive to see these huge animals and their power.

 

Re the cows approaching and letting a dog off the lead, this is advice i have seen from countryside safety experts. This is about the safety of the dog owner being trampled, if they went for the dog while on a lead. With the dog off the lead, the dog can escape and you are less likely to be attacked.

We could do with some help from you.

and with their methane wind being a major cause of global warming, it would seem they are immensely dangerous to everyone and everything.

thats a conspiracy theory, by the industrialists :)

 

the more burgers we eat, the more cows there will be! we all need to be vegan...:)

 

seriously though, if a cow charges you, stand tall, wave the arms about and shout/scream as loud as poss. it'll back off. apparently.

NOOOOO

We need to eat burgers quicker than they can breed cows

I got the barbi out yesterday and tried - but I'm just full up. You'll all have to take over for a while.

 

(why has the horse population suddenly declined here ???)

As someone who lives on a working farm, I can only second the advice to let your dog off the lead if approached by cattle. Please don't go down the route of so many people before who feel the need to try to protect their dogs from several tonnes of running meat. Letting your dog go will shift the cows attention to the undoubtedly far more nimble now off the leash dog offering you the chance to walk quickly to the edge of the field and to escape.

 

Cows are curious at best and fiercely protective of their young at worst, Bulls on the other hand are an unpredictable law unto themselves and should simply be avoided.

 

I understand that some people value their dogs as if they were children but please don't risk your own lives (and in fairness, that of your pet who can't run away from the danger whilst you're holding them back) through ignorance. The existence of a footpath is not a guarantee of safe passage through that field.

Horses.

Whatever anyone feels about eating horse something about the idea would stop me.

Why is the idea is horrible to me i find hard to answer.

 

However,a little story.

Many years ago i lived in a cave on a tropical island for a while.

Just wanted some chill time.Get head right,brain cells were scrambled,whether it worked i am not sure.

Decided as a rare treat to go to a town and eat in a cafe.

Went in looking i suppose like Robinson Crusoe and sat down.

 

I had never been abroad but moved round here by myself so no worries really.But green.No experience of what people ate.

Saw people eating these huge chops.

Thought mmm,these tropical places sure have big pigs,must be the weather.Honestly.

 

Right i will have one of them,filled a plate,massive they were.Served with tomatoes,lettuce nice.

I watched the chef with cig hanging out of mouth and cat watching him.Dog running round the tables and throwing up every now and again.

Hungry i was.The meat filled the plate,i tucked in.

Slightly greasy as i remember,everything compared to a pork chop 3 or 4 times the size.

Went off back to my cave contented.

 

Many months later i mentioned it to someone here,said you idiot you ate horse.

Well to this day i wonder if i did, but feel i have eaten something possibly like Mr Ed the talking horse.

 

Diversified a touch.

But the thread has given me very important info next time i am walking in fields or near cows or bulls.

Is it easy to tell the difference between a cow and a bull.

Seem similar coulours.

Not so much difference in spain where a certain part of a Bull are often removed for slicing and cooking (all the blokes can cringe here)

Throw the other half at the charging animal and run off to safety with your best friend who really loves you...

looks like even eating them all up (or us all turning vegan), they'll still be in demand:- apparently there's alot of money now to be made from cow muck (more than milk), some farmers investing in selling elec from slurry... Daily Mail.

 

some info found re a googly, in sum;

  • Avoid entering fields with cows
  • Let go of your dog if cows charge
  • Don't try to outrun cows
  • Run downhill if it's possible
  • Make yourself as loud and big as possible
  • Punch the cows on their noses
