    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  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.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

I have been in writing to Drydensfairfax Solicitors back in March 2016.

 

They are acting on behalf of their client Max Recovery Limited who purchased a debt.

 

I had previously asked them for a credit agreement and copy of the deed of assignment.

 

Back in March 2016, they wrote to me in reply.

 

They provided me with a basic office copy of a credit agreement.

 

They claimed that their client, Max Recovery, had provided them with a copy deed of assignment, and that they had attached this to the document for my perusal.

 

Upon checking the documentation, this assignment was not present as stated in the covering letter.

 

For the past year, I have had no response from Drydensfairfax.

 

Today, I checked my credit agreement, and I am horrified that they have placed a default on my credit file on the 30th May 2017.

 

Under section 87(1) Consumer Credit Act 1974, I have NOT been provided with a written default notice prior to this default being placed.

 

Can anyone please advise me what to do next as I feel that the default is illegal!?

 

The other concern is that Drydens should not have put the default in their name as the debt belongs to their client Max Recovery Limited.

 

Am I correct in thinking Drydens have done this default incorrectly it should be their client!?

The default went onto my credit file on the 30th May 2017.

 

Prior to this no written default notice has never been received.

 

Max Recovery bought the debt in late 2012, Drydens are a firm of solicitors acting on Max Recovery's behalf to reclaim the debt.

 

As Drydens don't physicall owe the debt they can't put the default on surely its illegal?

 

Origional debt is an unsecured credit card opened online in around 2011.

who with - whos the original creditor?

 

the original creditor would have defaulted you in 2012 before sale

that's an updated default date.

read what I've already said twice now again..

 

a debt buyer cannot default you.

only the original creditor can.

 

the fact that the debt didn't show until of recent is of no importance.

 

have you moved since you took that card out?

max recovery are really a very lowlife DCA

how many more times...DRYDENS DID NOT PLACE THAT DEFAULT.

 

MBNA defaulted the account before they sold it MAxy in 2012

that date is an updated default date -

 

and it doesn't even say drydens on your credit file either I bet?

why do you keep insisting they place it there?

but that's for MBNA to sort out .

then the default date being the start of the IVA [or because of that] is irrelevant

the IVA failed.

 

ok so alllll the way back to the start again...

have you moved since taking this card out?

According to Companies House Fairfax Solicitors Ltd was dissolved via voluntary strike-off 01 Oct 2013,

 

Your Credit File should reflect the owners name IE Max Recovery Limited....Solicitors shouldn't have access to credit files...they are not a creditor nor do they hold a credit licence .....nor the assignee of the debt....or anything in this case being dissolved.

 

What date did you actually default on the agreement when it was was with MBNA ?

wasn't there a whole portfolio of the MBNA cards that were sold in 2011/12 to max recoveries/eversheds etc wasn't it

and there was something dodgy about the whole sale.

 

the 2012 default on this one tallies with that time period

so MBNA defaulted the lot and sold them on.

 

was there not also something about Fairfax becoming drydenfairfax too them later only drydens they dropped the Fairfax bit.

 

i'll have to go search credit today I think it was

there was some naughty exposure of directors etc..or something

I dont think MBNA have ever managed to to get the process of default correct to this day or understand the CCA1974.

 

It could be that they have changed name to drydenfairfax...but its irrelevant they shouldn't have any contact with credit reference agencies

The account is showing on the entry that it went into default on 3rd August 2012.

 

This date is wrong because I actually defaulted on the 1st June 2012 when the IVA came into effect.

 

The debt was then sold sometime afterwards to Max Recovery Limited.

 

I telephoned Drydensfairfax Solicitors yesterday and they did confirm it was them showing on my credit file.

 

So legally, where do I stand with this issue?

 

Can I sue Drydensfairfax for damaging my credit file when they don't even owe the debt!?

"The account is showing on the entry that it went into default on 3rd August 2012.

Ah so its not recently been placed by Fairfax in May 2017..but was entered by MBNA on 3rd August 2012..it is normal to be 2/3 months after default.

 

You cant sue Drydensfairfax ..they haven't damaged your credit file...but simply inserted their name in place of MBNA after the debt was assigned.

 

Your only argument is that it should be Max Recovery and not Fairfax....not that it makes much difference to you,,,but the ICO may be interested
