    • 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.
    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???

    • 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 there,

 

Hope somebody can help?

About a month ago/6 weeks? I was shocked to open a letter of intended prosecution, in relation to an alleged 'speeding offence' where I was caught on camera, doing 38 in a 30 zone.

 

I was also surprised, that the paperwork, indicated that this had been the third notification, that had been sent to me and they wanted me to identify myself as the driver and plea by post - giving a time scale of 14 days or so, to respond. Failing to do so would result on the matter proceeding in Court anyway etc

 

I gathered my thoughts and set about completing the relevant information and signing as required - returning promptly via post.

 

I gave the matter no further thought really. However, to my horror - I have received notice from the Court that it had been dealt with, in the absence of my submission /prosecution papers. They have fined me £811.00 for payment straight away and 6 points on my license.

 

I am mortified - I am in receipt of welfare/disability benefits and cannot afford to pay this money to the Court.

 

Is there anything I may be able to do to rectify this situation, maybe write to the Court that have issued these penalties and explain circumstances and events - in the hope of their showing some leniency and perhaps amending the penalty and allowing me a reasonable time in which to pay this to the Courts?

 

I really don't know where to start? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance!?!?

Hi everyone

Whilst I have used CAG on numerous occassions in the past, with amazing help and advice received - has been quite some time since active on this site.

I posted a urgent dilemma I have, in the motoring section /speeding offences, the other day and it has been met with absolutely no viewing or advice?

Have I done something wrong? I really don't know why this would be?

Anybody reading this, who may be able to put me right - I would really appreciate it.

My situation grows more urgent as the days pass and I am unable to take any action ( if any resolution to be found?) but would really appreciate knowing, either way?

Anyway - I just hope somebody reads this and can help me /advise why my thread being totally boycotted almost?

Many thanks in advance

Nadia Phillips

Hello Fran.

 

No, you haven't done anything wrong. There are lot who can help you with this but they could be away for a few days or have some commitment that is keeping them away.

I know it's urgent, but I'm sure someone will be along as soon as they read your dilemma.

 

I've move your second post to your original to keep them all in the same place.

What are the key dates (dates of "third letter", date you replied, date of court case)?

What were you fined for in the end? The speeding or failing to provide details of the driver at the time of the alleged speeding?

 

6 points sounds like the latter (as 38 in a 30 zone has a starting point of a band A fine (starting point 50% of relevant weekly income) and 3 points, while "failure to supply" is 6 points and a band C fine (starting point 150% of relevant weekly income).

For someone on benefits "relevant weekly income" is taken as £120/week, but if the court had no information they would have assumed £440/week !

 

So, your path is 2 fold :

1a) if it was you driving, and you were speeding, to see if you can get the case reheard, for the speeding alone, pleading guilty and aiming for a smaller fine and fewer points,

1b) if you were driving but deny speeding, See if your speeding case can be heard and plead not guilty

1c) if you can identify who else was driving .... Would they persue them (unlikely at this stage!)

 

If you can't get the case reheard, the next option is

2: accept being guilty of failure to identify the driver, but ask for the fine to be recalculated bearing in mind your means (aiming to get the fine [including costs & surcharge] down from £811 to somewhere closer to £211, and ask for time to pay it off weekly!

Thank you - I assume to get case reheard, would require me writing to the Court to request this? I'd: explaining the situation

/ series of events etc? I would then go for option 1a - as I do think 6 points somewhat excessive?

I shall dig out the letter tomorrow and write to relevant Court ....... Thanks again. Nadia

Just a side issue, but I would advise against signing your posts off with your full name (and would suggest you go back and edit to remove this info). Maybe not relevant to your current issue, but if it was in relation to a parking infringement on private land, you need to disconnect the driver from the registered keeper, and a private parking company may be able to identify you by reading the forum as a guest.
