    • jk2054 - I haven't started a claim with OIC or MIB yet, due to being unable to obtain the name of the other driver.  BankFodder cheers for that, I'll go back to them with this info & update on here when I've had a response
    • Andy thanks for your reply. No i am now being evicted from the house i moved into after that previous post. The letting agent lied to me when they said the landlord would not be selling the house. SHe did not mention that the landlord tried to sell the house last year, i was not told this, 4 months into the tenancy i got the eviction notice. Its obvious they lied to me and used me to fill in the gap between their attempts to sell the house. I have filled in the defence form as it was easy to follow the old one from my previous post. I will post it later on in the hope someone can give it the once over. It has to be in by the end of this month may 31st.  
    • It's a GR Yaris - Finance is with Alphera, who are part of BMW I believe. I'm sure the unit is very expensive to repair, I have even told them I would be happy with a refurbished/reconditioned unit, in trying to be reasonable as well.
    • Without seeing this envelope, document and sticker it is impossible to advise properly. However, just going on what you have told us, there are two ways you can deal with this: !. The easy way. This has the lowest risk but the guarantee of a penalty for speeding.  You can respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box you can explain that you responded to the request for driver’s details but it was recently returned to you, seemingly not actioned. However, you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. You could also ask the court to consider sentencing you at the fixed penalty level (£100 and 3 points) as this prosecution seems to be the result of an administrative problem outside your control. 2. The not so easy way with higher risk. This could see you convicted of the FtP charge but has the possibility that you escape with no penalty whatsoever. You can do the same – plead not guilty to both charges. If you go down this route the speeding charge cannot succeed as they have no evidence you were driving. This comes from your response to the request for driver’s details which the police say they have not got. You can mention in the “Reasons” box that you returned the request for driver’s details as required. You will then face a trial for the FtP charge and you can produced your response together with the envelope and sticker showing it had been returned to you. The risk with this is that if your defence fails you will be fined a week and a half’s net income, pay a “Victim Surcharge” of 40% of the fine, pay prosecution costs of around £650 and have six points together with an endorsement code (MS90) which will see your insurance premiums rocket.

    • 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.

If cabot have it then its a lemon debt. Theyve gone to court hoping to get a default judgement before you can do anything. They dont deal with enforceable debts. They just hope to get judgements through so they can leech.

 

Start doing your research

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

And no conclusion on that claim?

 

Andy

 

Hi Andy it was my husband who was dealing with these and we are no longer together, there was no more action as the account still has the defense with no reply.

 

 

1.The Claimant claims payment of the overdue balance due from the Defendant(s) under a contract between the Defendant(s) and JD Williams Ltd.

Dated on or about Dec 20 2014 and assigned to the claimant on July 06 2016.

 

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.

 

1. Paragraph 1 is not admitted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant. I am unable to recall the precise details of the alleged agreement and any alleged outstanding balance and have therefore sought clarity from the claimant by way a Section78 CCA request and a CPR 31.14 request.

 

2.The Defendant contends that no notice of assignment pursuant to s.136 of the Law of Property Act & s.82 A of the CCA1974 has been served by the Claimant at all.

 

3.Therefore Paragraph 1 is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; and

(b) show and evidence the service of a Default Notice pursuant to sec87(1) CCA1974;

© show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

(d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim pursuant to s.136 of the Law of Property Act.

 

4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

5. On the alternative, if the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of consumer credit Act 1974.

 

6. On the 22nd Feb 2017 I made a legal request by way of a section 78 request to the Claimant. And a CPR 31.14 Request to the Claimants solicitor, The Claimant has failed to comply and therefore is in default of this request and as such is forbidden to request any relief until such compliance.

 

7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

Bit of an update.

 

I posted the defence on Friday and on Sat I received a reply from Cabot saying they can't action my requests as the documents are with Restons/Shoesmiths.

 

But the claim number they used is from the debt from last year that is still stayed and I haven't heard anything from them till now.

 

 

I also received a letter on Saturday from Shoesmiths still referring to the same debt from last year, they confirm they are still waiting for the documention request from Cabot which totally contradicts what the Cabot letter says.

 

They also state "Our client has confirmed that purely on a commercial bases and in order to draw this matter to a conclusion, they would be willing to accept £400"

 

So I get 2 letters out of the blue and from a debt from last year that with the postal order refunded from a different enquiry and a reply from Shoesmiths and not Restons.

Both are with Cabot Andy but found it strange that Shoesmiths replied out of the blue when I sent Restons the cpr request. I haven't had a reply from Restons yet.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just had a letter from Restons.

 

"please find enclosed a draft letter which purports to come from you but which is unsigned.

You will appreciate that we must ensure we are corresponding with the correct person and that anyone requesting information is entitled to receive it.

 

Please ensure that all documentation is signed failing which we will not acknowledge receipt not provide any response".

 

I printed my name on the cpr request so does that mean I need to send another out hand signed? I have heard nothing back from the court other than accepting my defence and staying it will be stayed if they don't reply within 28 days.

Send it recorded mail and call their bluff. You dont need to sign it. As stated, they know who you are, they know where you live. Or they wouldnt have released ANY info.

 

Personally i'd be cheeky and say " if you dont think i am who i am, why are you sending private and confidential information to me? Perhaps i should inform the regulator and ICO"

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Update*

 

Just received another letter from Restons.

 

We note you have recently filed a defence to the court proceedings against you.

 

By way of explanation, Cabot Financial (UK) Limited is a Debt purchaser. We would advise that this is a simple debt recovery action and the relevant facts are as follows.

 

1. The outstanding balance is refered to in the particulars of the claim related a Simply Be Facility with a count number ******, Out clients records indicate that the original Credit Agreement was dated on or about **/**/2014.

 

2. Statements of the account would have been sent to you on a monthly bases during the lifetime of the account. Such statements will have identified any items of expenditure, payments made towards the account, the application of any contractual interest/charges and the outstanding balance.

 

3. You failed to maintain the minimum monthly payments as required by the statements of account and accordingly, Jd Williams Ltd terminated the credit agreement.

 

4. In line with the terms and conditions of the credit agreement, the original creditor had a contractual right of assignment, in other words, Jd Williams was entitled to transfer their rights and benefits under the Credit Agreement to a third party and that right was exercised. Around the time of the assignment you should have received a letter from the original creditor advising you that the account had been assigned to a third party and you should also have received a Notice Of Assigmement Frim Cabot Financial (UK) Limited.

 

Furthermore, this firm was instructed in the **/**/2016 and a letter before action was sent to you in compliance with the Practice Direction-PreActionCinduct and Protocols.

 

In light of the above, we respectfully suggest you check your own personnel records as the documentation you have requested has previously been provided to you throughout the lifetime of your account.

 

We note your reference to a request you made under CPR 31:14 in the 22nd January 2017, whereby this was unsigned, we responded to you on 13 March 2017 requesting the correspondence to be sent again with your signature, a response it yet to be received. We also note that you make reference to the Claim Form which you state received on 05 February 2017.

 

We are unsure as to how you have made your request on a letter dated 22nd January 2017 when you did not receive the Claim Form on 05 February 2017, it is our belief that the letter is incorrectly dated.

 

You have requested copies of documents allegedly mentioned in the particulars of the Claim, however, the documents you have listed are not mentioned in the particulars of the Claim, therefore the Claimemt will not provide them under this request.

 

In view of the information set out in this letter. We do not believe your Defence has any real prospect if success and we will therefore recommend your our Client that an application to be made to strike out the Defence and to enter judgment against you for the full amount claimed together with legal fees and costs. Should you wish to avoid these further costs being incurred then we invite you to withdraw your Defence by completing the enclosed Form N9A and returning it to this office within 14 days.

 

Alternatively, our Client is prepared to consider Andy reasonable settlement proposals you may wish to put forward in order to resolve this matter amicably and avoid continuation of this litigation. Please contact the office within 14 days should this option interest you.

Standard rubbish from them. They know they havent got a leg to stand on, so they bluff you with a bunch of lies, and throw in a couple facts ( such as date of claim form) to blindside you and think theyre right.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
