    • Here is my final draft: I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act.   1.        The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date.   2.        I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment.   As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights.  This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information).  The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party.   3.        The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’.  The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents.   4.        Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018.   5.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020.   6.        Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicotors is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’   7.        I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’.   8.        The claimant relies upon and exhibits a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement.   It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HH Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’.   The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause.   9.        Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not try to mislead the court.   10.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • Hi folks, I've just found previous documentation. I thought it had gone missing. I'd forgotten that I did appeal it through POPLA but I can't find the thread on here that, I assume, I posted for help. Appeal letter is dated 27/10/2020 with a rejection. I genuinely had forgotten about this so apologies for misleading you. A lot has happened in the years since the ticket was issued. We closed down a couple of businesses and moved to the opposite end of the country to retire. The documents I have are scanned copies. I no longer have the originals. If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know and I'll post them, although it probably won't be until tomorrow now, but I'll be looking in on this page tonight. Thank you for the responses so far :)
    • Hello! After emailing them I received this reply:   I have drafted the following, please would you be able to comment as to if you think it is correct/sufficient? "Thank you for your email.   Thanks you for confirming that the vehicle does not have these features as stated in the advertisement.    I am sure you are aware that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides the short term right to reject within 30 days. Statutory rights cannot be taken away from a consumer, and any attempt to do so is illegal.   Please can you advise how best to return the vehicle?" Thanks in advance!

    • 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.

NO, YOU DO NOT IGNORE THIS OR YOU WILL LOSE A COURT CLAIM AND HAVE THE BAILIFFS AROUND.

 

We need to know absolutely everything,

when and where the parking event was,

when you got notification

and how, what other correspondence you received

and from whom and the EXACT name of the parking co

and their address as per their letters.

 

Chances are they have screwed up wit their paperwork and part of your defence is you are not liable as they cannot rely on the POFA.

 

read a good few threads around here and you will have an idea of what we want and how to go about things.

 

You will also be needing to send a CPR31.14 to the parking co for information

 

but fist of all acknowledge the claim by going to moneyclaimonline, registering and ticking the box saying you intend to defend in full, no for mediation and you now have an extra 14 days to send in a skeleton defence-bullet points on why you dont owe them anything

the CPR31.14 goes to the parking co's solicitors.

 

AS you threw away all of their correspondence you cannot show that they got the procedures wrong ( they did, I assure you) so you have to defend the claim with arguments about the validity of the contract.

 

The fact you cant park there now is no reason not to photograph the site and see what signs there are.

 

Photos of the place being dug up can help you as they will show that whatever the parking co's evidnce is it is not checkable so can be challenged on its veracity.

 

Post up the exact Particulars of Claim, as written on the first part of the N1 from court.

 

Generally Gladstones dont do this properly and you can ask for the claim to be chucked out for having no substance. they are usually told to furnish full details in a certain time but rarely do so that helps you as well.

 

I have found it said that the owners of the land are Grainrent Ltd and the site is managed by LCP.

If you get a response to the CPR request it will be interesting to see who has signed the deal and in what capacity.

 

I cannot see any signage at the entrance to the square from the Westway so you will need to enlighten us to exactly where this event took place.

 

If it was the location I am looking at on google streetview then you grab a screen shot and use it to show that there was no contract offered so you cant have breached it.

 

Any small signage scattered about isnt necessarily a contract because you coyuldnt consider it before netering the land and parking.

hi thanks for the information and for taking the time to google map for me..

 

 

.the car park is situated behind the HSBC bank..

 

 

.i have taken photos this morning and there is signage there but i wasn't aware when this happened as you use to take a ticket from a machine for free parking.

.these were out of use for months

...i will go to the entrance and take photos from leighton ave...

 

the particulars of claim

 

the driver of the vehicle registration(the vehicle) incurred the parking charge(s) on 20/10/2016 for breaching the terms of parking on the land at maghull centre

 

the defendant was driving the vehicle and/or is the keeper of the vehicle

 

and the claimant claims

£160 for parking charges / damages and indemnity costs if applicable, together with interest of £3.33 pursuant to s69 of the county courts act 1984 at 8%pa, continuing to judgement at £0.04 per day

so no signage at entrance and the signage says pre agreed cars with permits only.

 

Well, that prohibits you from being there BUT they then say that if you are not included in the above then you agree to be bound by a contract to apy them £100.

 

The claim is for a breach of contract

- there is no charge for breaching a contract so they got that wrong.

 

A judge should know the difference but you will have to spell it out carefully,

there is no breach of contract clause in the signage and the unauthorised parking is not actionable as trespass by the parking co as they have no interest in the land.

thank you nice one

 

just been to take a load of pics from the entrance to the car park and someone has sprayed black paint over one of the signage about 100 yards after the entrance.

 

..i know of a pensioner who was charged £100 for parking there as well as a friend who had ignored everything as well as the county court letter .

 

..all this in the last few days.

..this was always a free parking zone for years so when it changed i don't know.

..i can send some more pics if that helps in any way

 

hi..just been through all the pics i have taken today

..as i have previously mentioned there is major construction work being carried out but you can still access the car parks..

 

.there are a lot of construction signage about wearing hard hats, safety footwear & hi-vis jackets.

 

.they are the same in colour as the parking signs that are "visible" so i can see why people would miss them

then part of your CPR 31.14 request to the solicitors will be for sight of the planning permission for the signage as well as the contract with the landowner that assigns the right to enter into contracts with customers and to make civil claims in their own name.

 

You would be surprised how often they dont have the necessary permission to bring a legal claim so they may well not have what is called locus standi.

 

You can check with the council to see if there were condition placed upon the planning consent regarding parking here.

 

Often PP was granted with a ridr saying frre parking or 3 hours free parking.

 

As this is a legal duty no parking co can interfere with it without going to the council and getting PP to change this.
