    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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

 

I am very worried as I have received a County Court claim form from PRA Group.

This is in relation to an alleged debt they claim to have purchased from MBNA in 2012.

 

I have received various letters from them in the years since then,

several with 'gift vouchers' attached to reduce the alleged debt.

This always led me to believe that they were just angling for contact so I ignored these.

 

I have requested the CCA previously, and after a long delay one was produced, but their written correspondence then reduced.

 

Recently (in June) I received a 'letter before claim as required by the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Protocols' dated 23/6/16.

I responded on 2/7/16 by requesting the CCA again and stating 'I do not acknowledge any debt to your company'.

 

 

I received a further letter from them on 7/7/16 entitled 'Information as requested' and with a CCA attached.

 

However this was followed very shortly by a County Court Claim Form dated 25/7/16.

They are claiming the alleged debt, a court fee and legal costs, plus Statutory Interest.

 

 

I am worried by this and also because they are trying to include Statutory Interest at 8% from 27/11/12 to 22/7/16.

Are they allowed to do this?

I read in other threads this is not allowed to be part of a claim?

 

I have attached their PAP letter,

their response to my CCA request and the CCA,

and the County Court claim form below.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really worried about this. :sad:

I'm just drafting my CPR 31.14 letter. Am I right in thinking I can only request documents that are referred to, i.e. in my case the agreement, the notice of assignment, and the default notice?

 

In surfaceagentx20's thread in the Stickies he also mentions the termination notice, but that is not mentioned or implied in their Particulars of Claim (see PDF above page 9). So can I still ask for that? It would have been from the OC not the claimant

 

I am interested to know whether the original MBNA default notice was defective or not, so shall post a copy of that later on today. Hopefully someone can take a look?

if it was sent by first class post then its compliant on time

but if it was sent by UKMAIL[which MBNA uses]

as per the durkin case it fails as ukmail takes atleast 5 days to even get into the PO service.

 

however, I think this might be immaterial here

i'll let the more knowledgeable ones comment should it become necessary.

Yet to actually see a termination notice for a credit card in all my time on CAG as the Default Notice is the termination of the agreement if not complied with.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi, my deadline to submit defence is 27 August as noted above, and they still have not responded to my CPR 31.14 request (it was delivered and I have the signature proof from Royal Mail)... shall I chase them via recorded delivery letter, and if so should I be asking for more time for prep of a defence? Thanks so much.

no response to my CPR 31.14 request and it's been 14 days since they received it.

 

I called them today and said I wanted an extension under CPR 15.5 as they haven't yet produced the docs I requested.

 

They agreed immediately and so this puts back the date for me to put in my defence to 24 September.

 

They emailed me to confirm and I've forwarded this with a covering note to ccbcdefendants email address.

 

I hope I'm doing the right thing..

 

without an extension and giving them more time to produce documents,

I have no way to mount a defence.

 

(Except for this 'embarrassed defence' I've read about and that doesn't seem a good idea) Any thoughts people..?

where did we advise to do that??

 

stupid move to give the claimant more time to magic up cut and paste documents.

 

not sure what age of post you are reading

and if you are even reading that from here

but the idea of not being able to file anything

because of no CCA/CPR returns and having to file an [now out of date] embarrassed defence when out the window years ago.

 

there are literally hundreds of thread here with the holding/no paperwork defence

that usually results in a stay or even better the claimant discontinuing...

I am trying my best to help myself here, and yes I have searched the threads.

 

 

I have very little experience in these matters and so if I have stuffed up then I guess what happens next I have coming to me.

 

 

That is the sentiment I read in your reply?

If your previous response had maybe hinted what to look for (instead of just replying 'no and no')

then maybe I could have directed my search better.

 

 

Sorry for any offence.

wont offend me

we have large bailing buckets and large corks too.

 

 

quite rightly

theres no getting away from it being a self help site..

but typically and you might have seen this already

 

 

people ask .... should I do this or that before they actually do it

not walk the plank holding a cannon ball.

 

 

i'm wondering if you can recall that email or WHY and the ring the court tomorrow and say disregard it

the claimant was playing games with you because you rang them.

 

 

see what andy or someone says.

 

 

the bottom line issue you have

is this is almost a £10k MBNA debt

that's just below the fast track limit

and with the sneaky sec 69 interest PRA are claiming

[which they should do because its not even been judged yet!]

 

 

that makes it fast track

 

 

and the take out date of 2008 for the card.

that put it in the realms of a recon agreement is ok

so PRA can just about come out with any ole twaddle to make up an 'copy' agreement.

 

 

was this an online sign up?

do you remember?

Sorry about earlier, my deadline for submitting a defence was Saturday 27th (so tomorrow) and not being in receipt of any documentation to create a defence I panicked. You're right about that. I walked into that one

 

Because the time is now so short I have probably painted myself into a corner. Now having read that CCBC take up to 5 days to process emails, I'm thinking I've stuffed up.

 

Do you reckon there is still time to withdraw my email to CCBC and submit a no paperwork defence?

 

It was an online application yes.

Copy of email from PRA (claimant) this afternoon…

 

I write further to our telephone conversation today and can confirm that the matter has been placed on hold until 25 September 2016 whilst we await further documentation from the original vendor.

 

Upon receipt of the original documentation we will send a copy to you by post. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have anything further to discuss.

 

Kind regards,

You can still submit your defence tomorrow if you wish...CPR 15.5 is basically an agreement between parties and not binding on the court or time frame of the claim.
