    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the fine dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, so I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant   1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024   2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024   3 Date received 5th June 2024   4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N   5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land.   6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N   7 Who is the parking company? MET   8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE   For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA Anyway, I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf

    • While we wait for someone to explain how farage is any better than sunak  .. if not worse   One of many likely upcoming belly laughs   Reform chairman Richard Tice has accused the Tories of (reform like) “dirty tricks” after one of his party’s candidates withdrew his papers to stand at the last minute and endorsed former cabinet minister Sir Gavin Williamson. In a dramatic final 24 hours before nominations closed there had been fevered speculation that as many as six Tory MPs and other candidates could defect to Reform after Nigel Farage decided to stand in Clacton and become leader. But instead no Tories switched and Tom Wellings, the Reform candidate for the new seat of Stone, Great Wryly and Penkridge in Staffordshire, quit and put out a statement endorsing Sir Gavin.   Who does he think he is an Anderson, a Carswell !!! was heard at the reform HQ pub ... as Candidate brushed aside by Farage in clacton to run as an independent    Tice accuses Tories of ‘dirty tricks’ to persuade Reform candidates to stand down WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Exclusive: A furious row has broken out after a Reform candidate’s last minute defection to the Tories   :ROFL

    • 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.

The court service have a specific Income & Expenditure form for the N245. With Magistrate's Court they too have a specific Means Form (MC100).

 

With both these forms, many items of expenditure are specifically excluded.

 

The reason for this is because HMCTS and the Ministry of Justice only consider certain expenditure to be 'necessary' for 'everday living'. This is unlike credit card and bank debts where it is perfectly accepteable to use more comprehensive Income & Expenditure calculations.

Absolutely....many thanks BA...the court has already worked out what Income and Outgoings are necessary to calculate an affordable payment plan...a fully comprehensive listing is not required.

 

Deeply apologetic Mr Brooks for this confusion and unnecessary hijacking of your thread ..I assure you we do not suffer from this in any other our forums.

Hi all, thanks for the discussions, I don’t see it as hijacking, and it’s always great to learn about these things.

 

However, I am absolutely facking knuckered today on account of having to actually do some work!!! Haha…

 

So have read over it all quickly.

 

I still have no idea yet how much SS got paid, or what his preference is re paying it up or going for a VO, he’s not back yet from work, and its already 1:30 AM.

 

I suspect he got paid and decided he deserved a few beers and the like, cos of course its all been ever so stressful for him, which is something I was concerned about, he’s done it before on payday, especially if owes money, like paying his mum some rent, he goes missing for three days because he can’t be arsed dealing with stuff and knows I will ask him what he’s playing at...but we shall see...I will give him the benefit of doubt…

 

Trouble is for me, I’m just too tired to wait up much longer and I have no idea when he’s going to get back, so I half expect nothing to happen tomorrow...he will either not come home or he will turn up at some godly hour like 6AM and then sleep all day and claim he had forgotten, another usual method of avoidance. Im not holding my breath thats for sure...

 

I have warned him though, if he messes about too much, next time that Mr Bailiff knocks, I will just let him in and point him towards his stuff.

 

Thank you everyone for the great comments and the learning curve ;) I really do appreciate all the time the CAG members and the site team put into this place and its such a great thing to know that the people who drop by with their situations, like me, can find some sanity and reason…

 

Best wishes all, will drop by when I have more…

Hi Andy thanks for the response, but there is another twist...

 

So I decided to call the court and ask about this form and also clear up some other confusion as to who we were supposed to pay, on the calling card it says payments only yo court1 (the issuing court) and on the bailiff notice it says you can pay at the court (court 2 where the bailiff resides)...

 

So the clerk was very helpful, she told me what goes where on the form and said we need to bring/post the N245 to court2 along with the £50.00 fee and any payments for the actual debt would have to be processed by court 1...hmmm...ok

 

So then she said let me just takea quick look, and she then tells me, the bailiff has basically passed this back to the claimaint, because SS is just a lodger in his parents house, she said that is what he has put on his notes. So he wont be coming around no more and wont be involved in the process, so any contact regarding the debt needs to go back to Cabot...

 

So, I'm gonna ignore it for today, I have a lot of work to do and will draft a letter to Cabot for him to sign over the weekend.

 

Thank you all so much, all seems a bit of an anti climax somehow, haha, but I am glad it is back with Cabot, it just makes life easier all round I think.

 

Bye for now

Mr Brooks,

 

The telephone conversation with the court was very worthwhile and the pressure on you, your wife and your step son, has now been relieved. That in itself is a blessing.

 

Along the way, you have learnt a lot about the enforcement of judgments and although today you may consider that it seems a bit of an anti climax, you need to bear in mind that your stepson does have one more Judgment registered against and with the knowledge that you have gained, you can assist him with this (and his other debts).

 

Thank you for updating the forum with this good news.

Not being funny

But I would not write to Cabot

Simply invites letter tennis

 

Wait till they write to him and then scan up the letter

 

Same for the other ccj and debts

 

Don't instigate letter tennis yourself

 

Now you are involved

As you get a letter about any of his debts

Start a new thread in the named bank forum off the top left main forum tab

And tell us about it

 

Paying any debt that is defaulted or has a ccj won't improve his credit rating and could simply prove a waste of money that resets the SB date too

It was being collected by bailiffs acting on a warrant issued by HM Courts, so one assumes there was a process followed during which the debt was found to be owed.

 

For the record, I'm very much in favour of ensuring all debts all legally due, and indeed of minimising any possible bailiff fees, though that is rarely feasible. I don't condone debt evasion, but would certainly agree that waiting to see what happens might be the sensible way forward. There is a real chance to keep the channels open with the SS here though, to encourage more responsibility with money, as borrowing it, then simply failing to repay it is not going to be sustainable in the long term.

I know. It's just I've been accused in the past of debt evasion, when all I have been doing is helping the debtor save money by paying the creditor directly once a warrant has been returned, or because the bailiffs refuse to accept an affordable repayment for that particular type of debt (I only advocate this option for one particular debt in any case).

 

I agree, as said above, that everything should be done to check the legality of the debt, and the debtor should have all options explained to them so they are in a position to make an informed choice about what they want to do.

 

I'm pleased all is resolved in this case anyway.

These DCA's should be spanked hard for default CCJ on SB debt.

 

I'm hoping it's okay now to deviate from the topic of the thread a little as it is resolved.

 

There is nothing wrong with DCA's chasing debts (nor them being asked for proof of the debts). Where things fall down is the same with most debts, bailiffs, DCA's, etc.... and things fall down often because people are scared, worried sick and insufficiently informed to know the best thing to do is go to the creditor as early as possible and explain the difficulties.

 

When this gets to the stage of a DCA obtaining a default CCJ, it means many letters have been ignored, often including those about court hearings, and the debtor not turning up to the court hearing (possibly because they don't know about them as they've moved and not updated records, hoping they won't be found).

 

The fact it is time barred means nothing. The debt remains legally due, but it being time barred is an absolute defence in court if the debtor submits that defence. Often DCA's have little or no paperwork, so they can't really be blamed for going to court, especially after writing numerous times trying to get an arrangement in place.

 

I hate them as much as anyone, but like bailiffs, they have a job to do and that is what they are doing. In an ideal world we'd all talk to creditors asap, but it's not an ideal world and people are human and get scared. The longer it is left, the harder it gets to address them.

 

As far as I'm concerned, I'd be happy to see all bailiffs and all DCA's out of business. Anything I can do to hasten that process is a move in the right direction. The vast majority of debtors are not willfully refusing to pay, they are in a mess (possibly of their own making) and cannot. They need help, not further fees piling onto the debt.

 

I'd love to see them spanked hard for getting default judgments, but for time barred debts, the debtor does have that absolute defence at their disposal. They need educating and helping so they can take the fight back, should they choose to do so.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend and are feeling chipper and perky!

 

So down to business.

 

Now that the bailiff has sent the case back to Cabot, I was assuming that we need to contact Cabot to arrange repayment of the debt. However, I see there has been some discussion about this on the thread, which I have just read.

 

So of course I accept that these are ‘opinions’ of the CAG Team and its members, and I would just like to re-iterate, that I am all for SS paying this debt and fulfilling his responsibility with regards to said debt.

 

I also understand from the discussions that there is sometimes issues with the debt not having been ‘proved’ in some case, and though I do not believe this is the case here, I am all for going through the ‘correct’ channels and procedures and obtaining the correct information and confirming it is all in order.

 

So my questions regarding this new twist of the debt being returned to Cabot, are these.

 

Do we contact Cabot?

Should We wait?

Will they contact him?

Are there any issues with us contacting Cabot?

What are the repercussions of us not contacting Cabot?

 

If we do contact Cabot, what do we ask for?

For example, should we make a SAR?

Or is there something specific we need from them they would provide?

 

Is there anyone else we should contact?

Do we need to get written confirmation from the court that the case has been passed back to the claimant?

 

As always, thank you all so much for your time and insights and look forward to hearing the views of the CAG team and members.

 

Regards

Will they contact him? Probably will yes

Are there any issues with us contacting Cabot? No real point if they want the supposed debt, they need to ask for it, then well see what games can be played with them

What are the repercussions of us not contacting Cabot? No there is nothing much they can do now

 

If we do contact Cabot, what do we ask for? You can't really the ccj trumps and lack of paperwork

For example, should we make a SAR? Yes but to cap1

Or is there something specific we need from them they would provide? ..

 

Is there anyone else we should contact?no

Do we need to get written confirmation from the court that the case has been passed back to the claimant?no
