    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.    
    • That's fine - I'm quite happy to attend court if necessary. The question was phrased in such a way that had I declined the 'consideration on the papers' option, I would have had to explain why I didn't think such consideration was appropriate, and since P2G appear to be relying on a single (arguably flawed) issue, I thought it might result in a speedier determination.
    • it was ordered in the retailers store  but your theory isnt relevant anyway, even if it fitted the case... the furniture is unfit for purpose within 30 days so consumer rights act overwrites any need to use 14 days contract law you refer too. dx

    • Frankly I think you should go to a hearing unless you feel especially nervous . If you have any worries then you should follow our link to find out about a county court familiarisation visit     You shouldn't forget that county Court judgements are very helpful but they are not binding. They are only persuasive.  It is difficult to see you losing but it might be better to be there in order to counter any arguments from the other side

    • 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.

When do I send the certificate of service to the court…? Do I send it at the same time as I serve the documents on the defendant, or do I wait until the court asks me for it…? (In the event that the defendant fails to acknowledge)… TB

 

Don't wait until the court asks for it.

File within 21 days UNLESS the D files an AoS before you send it

(CPR 6.7(2)(a))

Bazza, thanks- I will file with the court at the same time as I serve the claim to the defendant, but please could you tell me more? I've looked up this rule and am confused again!(Sorry).

 

I spoke to someone at the court yesterday by phone… it wasn't easy as I'm very deaf, but from what I could make out, the court expected me to serve… I asked him what the reason was and he said he had no idea. I told him that I'd emailed the court last Friday asking if it would serve on my behalf, but that they still hadn't replied and he said to give it a few days to see if they would agree to serve the documents… but I'm wanting to get it over with, having wasted a whole month because I'd assumed the court has served on the defendant. I just don't want to make any more mistakes… if the court suddenly serves at the same time as m, then it would really mess things up. :sad:

which bit do you want more clarity on?

CPR6.7(2)(a) and the 21 days (unless the Defendant files an acknowledgement of service first), or

the "I want to get it over with but what if the court files too?" ?

Ah.. sorry… I was wondering what happens if the defendant files an AOS before I've filed the Certificate of Service…

 

CPR 6.7 seems to relate to service to a solicitor, but I will be serving directly to the defendant, so I'm not sure if this is relevant…

I found these notes, but to be honest I really don't understand the rules to serving within the jurisdiction and other rules applying when served out of jurisdiction...…

It all makes my head spin…

 

Address for service of the claim form: defendant's lawyer (CPR 6.7)

CPR 6.7 is entitled "Service on a solicitor or European Lawyer within the United Kingdom or in any other EEA state". There are separate provisions dealing, respectively, with each of:

Service on a solicitor within the jurisdiction.

Service on a solicitor in Scotland or Northern Ireland or in an EEA state other than the UK.

Service on a European Lawyer in any EEA state.

Note that, unless service is to be effected on a solicitor within the jurisdiction, the other available addresses for service will require service out of the jurisdiction in accordance with the services out rules. For more information about service of the claim form pursuant to CPR 6.7 see Practice note, Service of the claim form and other documents: an overview: Address for service of the claim form: defendant's lawyer (CPR 6.7).

Just keep it simple and post the Certificate of Service to the Court on the same day as you post the Claim Form etc to the Defendant.

 

You're over complicating things unnecessarily.

 

Follow GM's advice.

It does. Where I've written 6.7 it's a typo

It is 6.17 "Notice and certificate of service relating to the claim form"

and CPR6.17(2)(a) in particular.

 

Sorry for the typos. "1's" (and q's .... But I usually notice when these are missing!) don't always come out due to the screen / screen protect / protective case in my phone.

I check, but missed their absence this time : Sorry.

Thank you… I will just wait to ensure that the court has not made a decision to serve on my behalf. I tend to panic a bit... TB

Oh… haha! I thought I was going a bit mad… That's a bit clearer then… Many thanks for your help. TB

It won't matter.

 

I think you're right… they are totally failing to grasp the problem... I have already explained the mix up in that I'd assumed they had served on the defendant and therefore I have not sent a certificate of service… I've just had an email saying my judgement in default request has been returned as I've not sent a certificate of service. :x

So I'd better serve it myself… I just wished they had made it clear to me that I was responsible for serving… without any directions I just went by what the info told me- That the court usually serves…

 

Oh well… thanks again! TB

if you are going to serve to the defendant yourself, note that you may need to include certain forms with the particulars of claim to the defendant eg cpr 7.8

 

Yes… thank you. I called the court yesterday and they very clearly told me what to include. I'd feel better if they would put it in writing, though… I'm extremely deaf and the lady advising me was Nigerian… I have terrible trouble with foreign accents.

 

Oh well… I expect I'll soon find out if I've done something wrong.

 

Everything is in the post, now. I will update as soon as I hear anything. TB

Ok… I sent the claim yesterday and was checking to see if the defendant has received it, and it seems that the postman has left it with a neighbour… so is this deemed as being 'served', do you think? He is thick as thieves with the neighbour and the pair of them will probably cook something up to say he didn't get it. TB

Special Delivery… £6 odd!! TB

 

Special delivery has a disadvantage though : if they don't deliver it / don't get a signature : although you get your money back, it can be presumed you know it wasn't delivered!

 

You would have been better sending it ordinary first class mail (but with a certificate of posting to prove it was posted). It then has the advantage of the presumption it would be delivered, and service is presumed as a result!

Hmmm… it's hard to know what to do for the best, sometimes… anyway, I have a print out of the signature… it's whether she gives it to the defendant, isn't it? It is deemed served by dint of the certificate of service, I suppose… I posted it and now it's down to the defendant to acknowledge… or not. TB

Many thanks, (Handy) Andy… I believe I only have to prove that I sent it to the correct address and not that the defendant received it…I have proof of that and I know without a doubt that he is living at that address. TB
