    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant 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; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as 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 the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. 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.

    • 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,

 

Hoping all is well and this is correct sub-forum to post in. I am writing on behalf of my friend and looking to get advice.

 

My friend was cycling last night over a busy junction. He was overtaking the car in front of him on drivers side due to slow moving. Suddenly the driver of the vehicle has decided to make a right turn through a double white lines and rammed my friend on bicycle. (See PDF attached with image of the details). He has fallen down, hurt his body in several places and damaged his bike.

 

The driver of the vehicle did not provide his insurance details. However, he has got drivers name/surname, vehicle details, drivers address, contact number.

 

Is there any way he can claim for damages caused and the harm that has been done to his body? If so, can you please advise the best cause of action to take?

 

Many thanks and if any more information is required, please advise.

Hi

I think the first port of call is the police.

As an injury was the result of the traffic collision, the police should have been called at the time.

 

I would also contact the driver and demand their insurance details.

 

Did your friend go to hospital?

If so, evidence can be obtained from them. If not, get him to see his GP urgently

Were the police involved? If not the accident should be reported to them.

 

Did your friend get the names of any witnesses and are they willing give written witness statements?

 

On the face of it the driver has driven negligently and your friend has a good case for making a claim against the driver both for damage to the bike and compensation for his injuries.

 

If he wants to do this by himself he can start it off by writing to the driver saying he holds the driver responsible for the damage and injuries and asking the driver to pass the letter to his insurance company.

 

If it was just damage to the bike I might recommend that. But where personal injuries are involved your friend might be better off seeing a solicitor. Daytime TV is full of adverts for them! I've no personal experience of using no win no pay solicitors in these circumstances but I'm sure others here can offer advice on this.

One thing I would say about the ambulance chasers is that if you do choose to use one, make sure the no win no fee agreement states that the losing party pay all the costs and the solicitor doesn't want a third of any payout.

Thanks guys.

 

Police was not involved as he did not think of it at the time due to stress caused. However he did visit the hospital, they have given him some ankle and wrist support bracelets as he could not move it. They have scanned for any fractures and did not find any. This incident has been logged on the hospitals system.

 

In regards to the witness, nobody has stopped or asked to be one, nor did he ask for anyone. The pizza shop on the main road had a delivery driver see the accident and I believe they have cameras installed which has recorded the accident. Is there any way evidence can be extracted from them or is it private?

 

I do not think he wishes to involve a solicitor as he is not that wealthy to make this pursuit.

 

Thanks

It can do no harm to ask the pizza shop if they will give him any coverage of the incident (if any) but they could refuse but if they do, ask them to retain the footage for a while. The police will be able to get any video but it must be reported first.

 

 

Oh yes, tell him to buy a helmet cam. They are not that expensive nowadays.

It looks like the indicator on the car is flashing to turn right , was there an entrance or parking area to the right

 

Not enough information .

A different view , the cyclist without looking tried to pass a car that was indicating an intention to turn right

 

Always 2 sides to story

He should report to the police as the driver is obliged to stop and then report the incident themselves when someone is injured.

 

Clearly the first part happened but probably not the second and this is important regarding their insurance as the police will check the driver and vehicle to ensure the car is taxed and MOT'd plus insured.

 

They will then decide if they intend to take any further action (probably not without some clear evidence of a crime).

 

After that it is all down to insurers and lawyers

Good luck with that thanks to this government.

 

You will be extremely lucky to find a law firm that won't deduct 20-30% from damages.

 

It's not commercially viable not to and to think otherwise is niave.

Instructing a solicitor on a "no win no fee" agreement, or CFA, won't cost your friend anything upfront.

 

However, he will have to make a contribution towards his own legal fees from his compensation which could be anything up to 30% depending on the law firm.

Your "friend" was overtaking a car on the offside whilst the car was indicating to turn right.

 

The car can cross those double white lines. They are turning into an entrance of some sort.

 

Be prepared to pay for any damages to the car. The cyclist is at fault

Don't know if this is correct.

 

I've always thought that you can't cross continuous lines.

 

Near car parks and driveways the continuous lines are usually broken, indicating that they can be crossed at that point.

 

But I might be wrong, after all I passed my test when cars needed a cranking lever to be started...

You can cross a solid white line to turn in to a side road etc.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

The cyclist is at fault

 

The cyclist may be partly at fault.

 

A driver turning right in this situation still has a duty to make sure there isn't anyone on his offside.

 

It's impossible for anyone with the information on this thread to determine what percentage fault a court might give to each party.

Having thought long and hard over this, I have to agree that the cyclist must bear some responsibility as well. Cyclist should wait in line just like normal traffic unless there is a cycle lane that will get them to the front. I have seen many videos where cyclists and motorcyclists have ridden between two cars only for the passenger door to be opened.

 

 

I think it would be better if your friend gave us chapter and verse of what he was doing at the time.

We don't know that the car was indicating, the OP hasn't said that.

 

I think that a claim by the cyclist would succeed in at least establishing primary liability and wouldn't be found to be a fault.

 

There could potentially be some contributory negligence on the cyclists part, but from what we know I don' think the cyclist is at fault.

The photo shows the right indicator on and the car in a position consistent with it crossing the central solid white lines to enter a premises or a turning. We don't know when the indicator was turned on though. However, I agree with your conclusion about liability (and the uncertainty of it!)

True, but because the picture shows it it lends itself that it is more probable than not I was on whilst the cyclist was overtaking a vehicle whilst turning right.

I would also point out that the poster is a friend of the cyclist. So I'm going to assume that the cyclist took the picture ( as seen as the motorist is unknown to us) so why would they take a staged picture with indicator illuminated???

Surely they would want it off...
