    • 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 ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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 guys, been dealing with Capquest via Shoosmith.

Sent CCA requests to Capquest via Shoosmiths as you can see.

 

Even though they said no further legal action would be taken I went to court to day regardless

 

after sitting like an edjit for several hours I went an spoke to a clerk.

Turns out Shoosmith changed the hearing dates on the 20th January to 29th April and I've never been informed!

 

At the current time I have yet to receive any documentation in regards to the CCA request yet my request has been acknowledged.

 

Why has Capquest added £186 onto this account since last month?

 

Why is Shoosmiths still taking me to court even though they said no further action will be taken while Capquest is "investigating"?

 

Sorry this is meant to be the 25th not 29th....

 

And dont know whats going on with post images, was having bother adding them.

yes they will add the court fees to the debt

but that doesn't mean its even enforceable

 

its a speculative claim..

you've upset their remit by the CCA request.

 

what defence did you file?

Multi-page PDF created and attached.

 

The amount added hasn't been added via court,

I check my credit file (noodle) and have discovered Capquest adding to it.

December 2016 it was at £628 this month it has been updated to £814.

 

No defense was submitted as I wasn't requested to, was only to file what I would be doing.

 

And yes the summons came to my current address.

I returned page 7 on the 16th of January,

I went up to court at 10am along with my Father on the 31st to defend my position and sat waiting to be called,

 

eventually spoke to a clerk who checked the details of the summons and I was informed Shoosmith had contacted the court on the 20th of January 2017 and changed the date to 25th of April 2017 and that I had to return page 7 on the new summons.

 

I have not been informed of this change in date from Shoosmith by any means and I haven't been issues a new summons either.

 

I have also been waiting from December for my CCA request to be competed by Capquest, the request has been acknowledged twice.

 

Can anyone advise me on this please, cheers.

somethings not right here

 

 

a pursuer should not be able to change a hearing date without your consent

The clerk I spoke to told me that its not the court that sends out the summons but Shoosmith lawyers.

 

I have no idea to be honest, I'm thinking I may require some legal help on this one as it seems to be above my head.

yes correct but they cant change a summons date without your consent as far as I know.

 

and I don't think you'll get 'a new summons' unless the old case has been cancelled...

 

maybe its me

but somethings not sitting here right with me...

 

in speculative claims in Scotland the sheriff don't usually allow the shenanigans they play down south.

I'll call the court on Monday and make some enquires,

 

in the mean time do you have any suggestions or template letters I can send to Shoosmiths at this time?

 

That's now 2 months I've been waiting on CCA request to be fulfilled on and now the carry on with the court.

 

I can't help but feel this is an attempt to lead me astray to get automatic decree.

no we don't ever recommend chasing failed CCa requests

 

that's the sheriffs job!!

 

you've CCA'd them

you've mentioned as such in form 7

 

they cant get a decree by default.

 

much the same as speculative claimforms down south.

Hi again, sorry didn't get and email notification saying you had replied back , that or I have over looked it in my inbox.

 

I received the attached letter today via recorded delivery,

 

now I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure they are saying that this was called in court on the 31st and heard by a Sheriff.

 

et I know for a FACT they changed the dates themselves and they didn't attend court!

 

Advise please as clearly they are at it.

sorry been busy all day

 

I suggest you ring the clerk and tell them what has gone on and state you object to the continuation as you were not advised and would have asked for the claims adjournment at the first hearing

 

the pursuer has had amply time already to produce enforceable paperwork that they should provide anyway before taking you to court or atleast hold before they raised the claim.

 

something very fishy has gone on here

Sorry for the slow reply, I allowed it to go to court.

Shoosmith didn't attend but used one of the clerks as in intermediary.

 

They requested a further 3 months to get files

but the sheriff gave them 4 weeks

plus they also have to send one of their own people to attend in person,

he wants them to explain why they have me up in court.

 

That was after he read the letters they sent to me,

I guess their own letters aren't doing them any good.

 

See their latest communication,

says there was a document enclosed which there was not but I'm not surprised.

the more hearing they have the more money you might get in costs too.

i'd let it run.

 

not really any point in asking capquest direct

the sheriff has already told them get your finger out.
