    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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 Guys

If you search Northampton Autosports here, you'll find at least one thread detailing how people have had bad experiences with the guy who runs this car retailing business, from an industrial estate just to the north of Northampton.

 

Long story short, even though I Googled the guy's name and business, I found nothing untoward and went on to buy a vehicle from him last month.

He's developing or already has a reputation for making false and highly misleading statements about the vehicles he sells and I suspect has a very long history of this.

 

Unfortunately, I've also been caught out by this character and am just starting the process of seeking compensation.

I know what this process involves and am not seeking advice, as such.

 

However, if anyone has had similar issues with this guy (calls himself Rich) I would really welcome an exchange of emails, as I can't message on this website yet.

 

I'd particularly like to talk to Holyjoemuttley as he has a long thread here, detailing how he eventually successfully secured his own compensation from this character.

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?473227-CCJ-against-Northampton-Autosports-now-Performance-Trade-Centre-Can-i-Transfer-the-CCJ/page3&highlight=Northampton+Autosports

 

If there's no quick resolution, I'll post updates here, if it might help anyone.

Northampton Autosports is mainly selling selling via eBay currently and from the negative feedback, you can see that the involvement of Court Enforcement Officers previously, hasn't diminished his desire to screw people over.

 

Thanks for reading guys!

Hi HolyJoe

Apologies for not getting in touch yet.

Still have some essential work to do on the vehicle, before I send in my invoice for the total.

May be another couple of weeks. When I get that done, I'll be in touch though, as I'll definitely

need the benefit of your experience. I imagine I'm going to end up where you did in terms of

process :/

Talk soon :)

Thanks for the reminder bud.

Luckily, all the work is mainly through one garage,

with some LPG work at another.

Will be in touch directly very soon :)

If you've been scammed by Richard 'Rich' Tibbett, the rogue car trader operating as Northampton Autosports,  or the Performance Trade Centre, or Autosports and Classics, and you want to know where to get hold of him, PM me for details. 

 

I took him to Northampton County Court, claiming a four figure sum for repairs to a dodgy car he sold me.

He settled in full before the hearing. 

This guy has a long history of this type of rogue trading and has numerous CCJs against him. 

I believe he is still selling dangerous cars.

Please leave this open. 

I have more to add over the weekend. 

Thanks. 

 

Meantime, I owe HolyJoe (see above) a huge debt. He also successfully sued Tibbett.

He advised me on the Small Claims process. It's fair to say that I probably wouldn't have been able to see this through,  without his help.

we don't like things being done off thread

 

these CCJ judgements are in the public domain and there is absolutely no harm in publishing all the details here in full including your claimform , defences and witness statements so others can use them and quote the case numbers and win too.

 

obv we don't need any of your pers details on then nor the actual claim number, you can PM that to a member of the site team and we can note it. 

 

 

 

 

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

to add to the comment above, things should be done on the open forum because the whole value of this forum is that it contains people's experiences over a long period of time.

I'm very pleased that you have made good headway on this case – but there may have been lots of other people looking around for this dealers name and looking for help over the last two years and yet it has not been available because you have been conducting this off-forum.

Also, if the case had been conducted completely on this forum, it might have attracted other people who would have had their own very useful experience and may be documents to provide to you which would have made your claim easier than it has been.

The power of this forum is that everything is in the open and the other people are able to consult it and to gain support or at the very least courage from reading the experiences of others.

We will certainly be very pleased if you will give us a step-by-step account of what you have done – including publication of claim form and also of defence.

Thanks

MikeW001 - That was a really nice thing to say. Many thanks.

 

If I've given anyone any help in dealing with that 'company' then my time has been well worth it.

 

From what I've seen on the internet Performance Trade Centre has closed 'business'. I'm not sure what's happened to Northampton Autosports. I do know they closed it, started trading under Performance Trade Centre and then closed to reopen again as Northampton Autosports.

 

Regards, and thanks again to CAG for being there.

Site admins - Please take a Xanax.  I said that I'd publish more details here over the weekend and I will try to.

I don't know what your policies are on publishing specifics. I founded an online news site several years ago, with hundreds of contributors and as publisher, I had to be extremely careful about liability.  So, if I  err on the side of caution, it's for your benefit as much as mine. I make no apologies.  

I'm up to my eyeballs this weekend. Partly because of the severe storm approaching. So I may not now get the opportunity to update this until next week.  But I will do. I am very motivated and this is only the first step of many that I intend to take, in an attempt to curtail Tibbett's activities.  

Joe, I didn't think you'd be so quick off the mark :) I had intended to thank you directly first. Apologies. 

Will be in direct and more detailed touch as soon as.

I've just noticed that you asked for a step by step. (Site admin)

I  will do that, but that'll take a bit more time to collate specifics of my case.

There are lots of resources online to guide people through the small claims process. 

I don't know if Tibbett is still trading, though I will find out through contacts.

I don’t believe there's a huge urgency, just now.

I take great exception to your comments above.

Comments like this do not encourage me to contribute here. 


You say, "things should be done on the open forum.."

First of all, I don't subscribe to the word should.

It has overwhelmingly negative connotations and implications and there are much better and more positive ways to phrase what you want to say.


What goes on in this forum is secondary to the conduct of my own case. By a long, long, way. 

I owe nothing to anybody here.

 

Some people may choose to conduct their case here and that's their choice.

I chose not to in this instance and I had specific reasons for not doing so.

To pursue a one size fits all policy on this point is completely unrealistic. 


You said, "I'm very pleased that you have made good headway on this case – but there may have been lots of other people looking around for this dealers name and looking for help over the last two years and yet it has not been available because you have been conducting this off-forum."


Using the word 'but' negates what you previously said. That's why it's use requires care. 


You say that there may've been lots of other people seeking specifics about the defendant in my case.

What evidence do you have of this?

Where are all of these fictional people? 


If anyone wanted help with Tibbett, all they had to do, was what I did.

Reach out through the forum.

I did exactly that and HolyJoe PM'd me.

 

I saw no posts from anyone asking for help during the last two years. Or rather, there was one lady who posted and I think she was offered help, but she never responded and we've heard nothing from her since. 


You say that if I'd conducted my case on the forum that it would've attracted other people who could've helped. What evidence do you have to back up your assertion? None, I would suggest.


The help I needed I either received from HolyJoe or received from legal professionals.

I could not have sourced the specific advice I needed from this forum and to seek to do so, might've prejudiced my case. 


The power of any forum, is that the platform is easy to navigate and within broad guidelines people are encouraged to share content and help others. Its at each users own discretion, what they share openly.

What they share via PM and what they choose not to share. 
Seeking to dictate to users will only drive people away. 


What pleases you is of no interest to me whatsoever.

I will NOT be publishing anything here that I do not feel 100% happy to.

 

Following your negative comments, I am less inclined to publish anything further here.

However, I will publish what I feel is helpful and if anyone would like to contact me directly, on a specific point, they are most welcome to do so. 


I am not a snowflake.

I have served in HM Forces in conflict zones.

I would suggest that in future.

 

Before you publish comments like those above.

You carefully consider whether what you intend to write and the phraseology you use, is in sync with the goals and values of the community you are seeking to build.

There's that 'should' word again ;)
Please quote me the rule which states that in cases of litigation, the case is to be conducted here?

Selfish one-upmanship? What in my behaviour indicates that? 

As to your last point. This is only one tiny little niche, in a small corner of the www. Your evidence is rice paper thin and frankly, not worth relying on when it comes to a court case.
