    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs

    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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

To cut a long story short.

 

 

I had a business that went bust.

One supplier managed to gain a CCJ against me 4 years ago.

 

 

The invoices were in my name and not the Ltd companies name, hence why i have the CCJ against me.

 

 

My problem is how long can the HCE officers chase the debt for.

 

 

I know that a CCJ lasts for 6 years after which it is removed from my credit file.

But what about the debt.

 

I have paid some monies towards it over the 4 year period,

but havn't paid anything for the last 6 months.

 

 

They don't know were i live as i moved from the property i was in.

 

 

I have spoken to the solicitor for the supplier about the debt and explained that it wud b easier to go bankrupt than try and pay it back, as the interest and costs are adding more to the debt than what i can afford to pay back.

 

The latest statement says they are charging me 29p per day for a walking possession,

 

 

i find this hard to believe as they started this in August as this was the last visit. I wasnt even living at the property at the time.

 

Quite happy to put the figures up as i do not trust what the costs are from the HCE firm.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

6 years after which if no enforcement action has been stated in 6 years the claimant must apply to the court to revive the claim, this is rarely granted unless there are very obvious and compelling reasons for allowing a restart.

 

For a debt to become statute barred there must be NO payment for 6 clear years and or no acknowledgment in writting.

 

All defaulted accounts are removed after 6 years paid or not.

Stupid question,

but what is enforcement?

 

 

The HCE have never had a walking possession,no goods have been taken.

All i have done is pay some money towards the judgement.

 

What i dont understand is the CCJ goes back to August 2008.

 

Then they made a visit August 2012 and started charging interest again.

 

 

Here are the costs:

 

Date August 2008 Judgement debt £10,504.47

Sol Csts 355

 

Total £9259.47 ( i know this doesnt add up right,i believe they have knocked off some payments)

 

Intial interest @8% £2,957.71

Additional interest 0000

 

Warrant 111.75

Additional cst 0000

Levy fee 2.40

Fee 1 (Poundage) 372.87

mileage cst 60.00

Fee 2 (HCE fee) 765.85

Debt Total £13,530.05

 

August 2012 Balifi Att 72.00

HCEO fee 72.00

Csts £144.00

Interest 8% up to today 154.28

Walking possesion 29p/day 22.04

Acc Balance £13,850.37

 

Comments please on csts etc?

What exactly does the Judgment order say. If it doesnt allow for interest to be added, then they cant. You need to see what the Judge actually ordered you to pay..

As it is a business debt I believe they are entitled to keep the interest rolling up. I know which company it sounds like and whether it is or not any of their fees may be challenged. Of more concern is the claim for Walking Possession as this suggests they have a levy on goods.

Kind of confused about the costs.

 

 

because they seem to have revisited in August then started to charge interest again.

 

 

They don't have my new address so will most likely sit tight.

Are you sure that a CCJ becomes statute barred after 6 years if no payment is made on it? I know that a straight forward debt does, but not sure if there has been a CCJ. In addition, if you do not pay it could become contempt of court which is a criminal offence and you could be jailed as we have seen on numerous occasions.

A CCJ does no actually become SB , the entry will removed after 6 years from CRA files, but action should not be taken to enforce the judgement after 6 years,

 

the claimant would have tp apply to the court to restart the claim, leave to do so is rarely given.

 

 

Debt is not a criminal offence, if you fail to meet the judgement order civil enforcement procedures are used, attachment of earnings., bailiffs instructed to levy on goods to be sold to pay the debt etc.

 

I cannot remember in many, many years a debtor being imprisoned for debt.

Thanks for clarification on the CCJ bit, however you seem to have forgotten the little old ladies that the council have had jailed for non payment of council tax. :-) I think there was an episode only last year.

 

You can be sent to jail for the following;

If you haven't paid:

 

  • fines from the magistrates' court;
  • your Council Tax or business rates: or
  • maintenance for your husband, wife or children.

You can be sent to prison only if the magistrates believe that you 'won't pay' rather than 'can't pay' your debts (that is, you have deliberately refused to pay, or you have chosen to spend the money on other things you didn't truly need).

You seem to be confused between non payment of a STATUTORY TAX wilth penalties lain down in law for non payment, this is an entirely different matter from debt pursude the the civil courts and has no bearing or merit here.

 

So please don't confuse on the thread with matters thay are not relevant it is unhelpful to sa the least.

A magistrates court DOES NOT ISSUE JUDGEMENT ON CIVIL DEBT, (CCJs) There is no criminal judgement.

 

None of your statements bear any relevance in this thread which is regarding non payment of a suppliers invoice.

just ignore the paperwork. If the baliffs turn up, DO NOT LET THEM IN! lock the house and go out onto the pavement , and hear what they have to say, do not argue or agree to anything, ring the police if they try anything funny. They know that once you are the pavement they cannot create a public order offence.

Hi

Without going into all the gory details,

I just wanted to ask a question regarding attachment of earnings.

 

I had a ccj judgement order against me in 2008.

I battled and paid so much then stopped.

 

 

In 2014 just before 6 years the solicitor for the creditor went for an attachment of earnings order.

 

This they achieved and for 18months I paid via my earnings, struggled but then I was made redundant.

 

I did get another job and requested that the attachment of earnings wasn't requested from my new employer as this would cause problems, and quite possibly loss of the job.

 

 

So I paid manually for another 12 months then stopped, due to being short of money.

 

The solicitor is now threatening to apply the attachment of earnings again.

 

 

What I need to know is the debt goes back to 2008 so 9 years.

Can it still be enforced?

Can the attachment of earnings be applied again?

Yes it can...as the judgment has been previously executed within 6 years of the judgment date....but you can opt to suspend it and make another arrangement with the judgment creditor to pay direct.

A CCJ doesn't become statute barred, but if not enforced for 6 years the judgment creditor needs permission ("leave") of the court to start / re-start enforcement proceedings.

 

If they've been diligent in trying to enforce, only stopping when they couldn't "get blood from a stone", I'd expect them to seek permission & be granted it.
