    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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.

Thank you victoria.  I have read and re-read but am getting very anxious now.

 

I have a 101 questions going in my head and wondered if I list some of them below, anybody else could answer them?

 

1.  Will the DJ ask me questions directly?

2.  Do I need to take the whole of the Claimant's bundle with me?

3.  Will a judgement be made against/for me there and then on Monday?

4.  In my defence, do I keep emphasising the Claimant's non-compliance with CPR's?

5.  If I have to, do I, in layman's terms, explain that I had a reduced payment/no interest arrangement with the OC and then suddenly 3 other Debt Collectors pitch up demanding full payment?

6.  This debt is not showing on my Credit Report, should that be a concern?

7.  Do I need to declare my Income & Expenditure, ie, my husband's Pension Credits and other benefits, our only  income?

8.  Should I have received an acknowledgement from the Court that they have received my e-mailed Witness Statement?

 

Thank you!

1.  Will the DJ ask me questions directly? yes

2.  Do I need to take the whole of the Claimant's bundle with me? yes

3.  Will a judgement be made against/for me there and then on Monday? possibly

4.  In my defence, do I keep emphasising the Claimant's non-compliance with CPR's? if they have not compiled fully yes

5.  If I have to, do I, in layman's terms, explain that I had a reduced payment/no interest arrangement with the OC and then suddenly 3 other Debt Collectors pitch up demanding full payment? the debt was sold.

6.  This debt is not showing on my Credit Report, should that be a concern? no

7.  Do I need to declare my Income & Expenditure, ie, my husband's Pension Credits and other benefits, our only  income? you could be they cant be part of any decision.

8.  Should I have received an acknowledgement from the Court that they have received my e-mailed Witness Statement? no

 

Thank you!

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Hi again AA99

 

dx has answered your substantive questions.

 

Also have a look at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZyb4HYC5A8 for an idea of procedure.

 

My advice is to keep it simple. it is for them to prove, not you to disprove. Your points:

1. You have to choose whether to swear on the bible - decide in advance...

3 and 4. Do stress CPR, they are the system's own procedural rules; however, I was asked if I wanted an adjournment because of their flagrant breaches - I chose not to.

2 and 8. Take copies of everything - assume nothing.

5. Lack of proof of title or ownership was crucial in my case and passing the debt around makes ownership questionable. It is for them to prove ownership.

 

Best wishes

Oh dear was the Judge in a rush and not interested in the CCA1974 ?  If you could expand on the reasons AA so others can benefit from your experience.

Thanks Andy.  No, no rush, we had a full hour.  She kept harping on about the Notice of Assignment and that all that seemed to matter.  I kept referring back to my WS which she didn't have a copy of (!) so obviously didn't spend her 15 minutes reading both statements.  I kept referring to your Sec 87 Need for Default Notice but twice she said in all probability it was issued!

 

I felt like saying in all probability I'd sent a cheque for the balance then!!!!

 

She did agree with the bombardment of DC's collection letters being confusing.  Commented on Arrow's letter stating they were not the creditor.  I kept using the words Civil Procedures.  I told her the Claimant's rep had approached me twice in the waiting room trying to do a deal and he quickly shouted that was off the record!

Yes, full amount, but she knocked off the £105 court fee ?!?!!?! And agreed to Application Fee of £255, Fixed Costs on Judgement £175 and Pursuant to CPR 45.4 Attendance Fee £135.  Total £565

 

28 days to pay all

 

I was given forms N245 and EX160 but they cost £50 to submit to the court!

By the way, the C's rep held up his Iphone and said he had a screenshot from OC not showing the DN, but a listed record that it had been sent and she seemed very happy with that!

The more I think about it, the more I think it was like a circus and I wish I'd had a witness!

Do you not qualify for exemption of court fees ?  You really must submit the N245 to get this converted to monthly payment unless you can afford to clear the debt within 28 days otherwise they may take a step further and try to execute the judgment.

Yes, we should qualify for reduced court fees so will send that forthwith.

 

As for the rest of the debt, no, we cannot afford absolutely anything.  We are literally hand to mouth on benefits only.  After today's proceedings, I'm seriously considering a prison sentence or community work.  We have no money and no assets :(

 

Will the debt collector still consider a repayment scheme? Or is that it now?

 

When the rep approached me in the waiting room, he suggested a Tomlin order, is that still feasible?

 

What will happen if my income minus expenditure equals 0 ????  What would happen then?

 

Can I complain in any way about this DJ's representation of the law?

 

I really don't know which way to turn right now.

When the rep approached me in the waiting room, he suggested a Tomlin order, is that still feasible? No you can only agree a tomlin order pre hearing

 

What will happen if my income minus expenditure equals 0 ????  What would happen then? You pay a £1 a month

 

Can I complain in any way about this DJ's representation of the law? You could but it would be pointless unfortunately...wrong day wrong judge 

 

I really don't know which way to turn right now. Get the N245 submitted and complete the EX160

Once a CCJ has been issued, you must continue with the CCJ payments. Failing to make the payments can lead to a number of enforcements being taken such as the issuing of Bailiffs, a “charge” being placed on your property (Charging Order) or the court can have money deducted straight from your wages (Attachment of Earnings Order).

UNQUOTE

 

I don't own property, I don't have wages, and I don't have any bailiff-takeable assets worth anything.

 

So my questions are:_

 

1.  Should I ignore?

2.  Can I write to the court saying I can't even afford £50 to submit N245?

3.  Can I approach the DCA directly (for free) to arrange £1 p.m.?

 

I sent the N150 in last week but no response yet.

While we're on numbers, I received today N24 (General Form of Judgement or Order), ordering that, "on balance of probabilities",  the Default Notice dated 2009 had been sent to AA99.

 

I still find this horrendous!

Surely this isn't good enough in the eyes of the LAW!!!  The court told me at 11.45 the DJ would read both WS's but during the hearing at 12 she admitted she hadn't seen my WS and took a photocopy of mine off me!  Which also means she hadn't read my/your paragraph regarding how much the DCA had paid for my debt which is the true figure I 'owed' them!

The details of assignment are not in question or part of the claim and dont form part of any defence.
