    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.

    • 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.

Labout can't win unless they convince Worcester Wendy and Dagenham Dave that they have the package that they can support. E.g good leader and policies. I should imagine that the Tories and their media friends will work out that Labours plans can only be afforded by increasing payroll taxes for most people.

 

People don't vote for tax increases at elections. You have to lie to them and within a month of the election increase taxes in an emergency budget, because the last Government left a large hole in the budget.

 

No wonder people have gone off politics, as it is played by people who only win by telling untruths.

Well I am not a betting man but just check the odds on the General Election every now and again.

Labour are pretty good odds if you are a gambler.Maybe 12-1 ,something like that.

The article explains things better.

But if 10 million of us pop out tomorrow morning at exactly 10am at the Bookmakers and put a 50 on Labour.

Well happy days.

Man puts £10k bet on Corbyn to win the general election

An anonymous punter stands to win £182,000 if his bets on Labour winning June's general election come off.

Bookmaker Betfred said the 24-year-old graduate from Norwich, who does not want to be named, placed a series of wagers amounting to £10,000.

He put £6,000 on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn becoming the next prime minister at odds of 12/1 and £3,000 at 20/1 on Labour winning the most seats.

A further £1,000 at 40/1 odds was put on the party achieving a majority.

But where you live it must be an easy Tory win, as UKIP votes will go to the Tories.

 

I live in a Tory seat, where Lib Dems need a large swing of votes to them to win. I can't see it happening, unless people vote tactically,, rather than waste votes for Labour etc.

 

What do you think of automatic sign over of a property to cover care costs ? It sounds like the Tories intend to legislate so those going into care have to legally sign to commit to selling the house on death, to cover care costs. They are not waiting until savings meets the threshold before the house has to be sold to cover costs. This could mean that having to legally sign over property proceed rights at the start puts people off entering relatives into care when it is the best option. Also care homes knowing the likely value they might receive, might be tempted to increase fees, seeing it as an opportunity

I think Theresa May will probably lose a hell of a lot of votes with her attack on Pensioners. It is quite disgraceful.

I'm now thinking those children in a good financial position, it would be more cost effective to employ private care, not agency, e.g 24 hours a day than sell a parent(s) home. A home rises in gain, imo, so avoiding selling is best option and your member of family can stay in their house in familiar surroundings and a home they love.

Let's say £10 an hour was paid from a starting point, that's £87,600 a year. Homes seem to be increasing in leaps and bounds each year out weighing much of care costs. Obviously, i'm talking about a certain group of people, but many, who could do this.

That cost is reduced significantly if you didn't need 24 hour care, e.g 4 hours a day £14,600 a year, imo

 

This means if a carer worked 8 hours a day they would be on a wage of £29200 PA. Obviously there's annual leave, weekends etc even the deduction of that off your wages you be much better off than working for a care company, imo. You would be self employed with the benefits that brings.

That would be expensive, as nursing companies charge £20 an hour to care for people on private home visits. Care homes charge about £5 an hour to cover 24/7 care for people.

 

Personally, i think people are better off having very unhealthy diets and taking part in dangerous sporting activities than going into a care home. Yes they won't live as long, but at least they will have quality of life. If you have been to a care home where people have dementia, it can be a very upsetting experience. They don't really know what day of the week it is and often don't recognise visitors. If they remember anything, it is from about 40 years ago. My aunt would suddenly burst into tears after realising that her Sisters were not alive. They died years ago and she went to their funerals.

Anyone who has had to care for someone with Dementia understands every word you have just said.

I have and have never known anything like it. A 24 hour a day job.

So when I remember what they and myself went through I always come back to this song.

It was sung and written about a time in the musician's life when he looked after her and his mother saw strange things.Faces in the trees etc.

And will understand this song.

Yep, seen that. If you employed a nurse directly, you would also have to pay their pension, as it is the law now. Don't know how much though.

 

There are loads of companies that provide live in carers and the staff they employ who are not even qualified. A nephew of mine was given 2 weeks training by a company and then had to live in a house looking after a disabled person.

 

I think there is another model to look at, which happens in Australia and might do here. You buy an apartment or bungalow in a care village, where you have nurses etc onsite living in their own accommodation. Each apartment/bungalow offers private independent accommodation, where people have a nicer more dignified private space and they have visits by care staff at allotted times. There are also alarms in each room that can be triggered, so care staff can react. There are also community facilities onsite for social activities. The good thing about this model is that they own the property and as they are popular they increase in value. There are also properties where couples can stay together, rather than be be split up, when one needs more care.

Ideally yes there are better models which could be implemented. Wouldn't it be good if they were explored and with more enthusiasm.

 

Referring to your pension point, the carer would be self employed and I believe would be their responsibility, and yes proper training and vetting would need to be addressed before you undertook the person carer.

A thought occurs to me about the care home issue.

 

What happens when one of a married couple who is older goes into care ? How is the Tory proposed policy going to affect them.

 

If you have say an 80 year old man who goes into care and a wife of say 70 who stays in the family home. Because the council don't pay the full rate, she has been paying a top up amount. Her husband then dies and the government has a charge on the family home for the care fees. Obviously she does not have to sell the house immediately, but if say she wanted to move house, no doubt any conveyancing Solicitor would have to pay the government their care home fee debt. Or would government allow charge on house to be transfered to her new house ?

 

Is the Tory policy of an upfront charge on property at time of entering a care home making it more complicated ?

 

If when the wife in this situation needs to go into a care home later, there would then be a second charge added to any house ? How would government know value of equity in any home ? Compulsory valuation at time of entering into care home, so goverment knew approximately how much was available.

 

I think if and when any new Tory government come to legislate for this change, they are going to face a lot of opposition, including from many Tories. I don't quite get why they don't just introduce a cap on fees per person and a calculation is done at time of death how much of a charge on property is due. There needs to a balance made between how much the state pay from taxation and how much people pay from savings/assets.

We could do with some help from you.

Exactly Uncle B let's see if it's just a vote lure for floaters who may have usually voted Labour, in the sense it seems the Tories are saying the better off will pay.

 

Labour will address free parking in hospitals it seems. If a token amount needs to be paid as there is upkeep/maintenance to consider, that's also acceptable and any profit back to the NHS. We should have the best equipment which exists in our hospital system.
