    • Appreciate your response BankFodder. I am aware that the Consumer Rights Act does not apply in my case as I operate a business and, instead, should rely on the Supply of Goods and Services Act and Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. I was a little unsure as, when I read the judgement of Hashim Farooq v EVRi Parcelnet, July 2023 I presumed that,  as Farooq had supplied laptops through Amazon,  the Consumer Rights Act would not apply but the judge refers to it in Section 22 as to why the claimant should be given judgment. Have I read this correctly? The reason for not offering full reimbursement was because I did not take out insurance for the full value.  In regards to correspondence from my customer,  I have emails from her in my timeline stating that she was waiting all week and that no one attempted delivery.  I have no doubt that she will be willing to corroborate the events with a written statement.
    • When you post information here you will have to post it in single file multipage PDF format. Follow the upload link. However, it would be more helpful if you could simply answer the questions that we have put to you and we can deal with paperwork afterwards if we think we need it.  
    • I was trying to post all the paperwork that I have, namely facebook ad, messages between the seller and my son etc . But I'm getting the message that the files are to large. 
    • First of all please can you tell us the name of the seller, something about the van – age/year, mileage, price paid. How far away is the seller from where your son lives? Who do you take it to for this inspection? Are they prepared to give you a written list of the things that they found? This is very important and you may well have to get an independent inspection from somebody such as the AA. This will cost you some kind of feedback we expect that we will be able to help you get it back. I would say that if you have to bring a court claim – which is likely – then your chances of success are better than 95% but the difficulty might be enforcing the judgement against the seller. We will have to no more in order to give you better advice. Does it have an MOT? What is the date of it and who gave it the MOT? I suggest that you start taking pictures of all of the defects that you can find.   Also I am going to say that I believe that you came over from Facebook where you were already informed that we would need at least all of the information which I have requested above. It will save a lot of time and effort for everybody if you can simply come up with the things that we ask without too much delay
    • My autistic son brought a van from a private seller. ( there was 5 other cars on his drive and another van, plus loads of machanic tools in his hallway,  so he probably is a unofficial dealer).  He gave the van a once over, he checked for any warning lights that might be on, there was none. He checked underneath for any rust etc, it all looked fine. The body was rough, but you'd expect that for the age of the van.  He got his brothers machanic to give it a pre mot check, as the van was old so he expected it to have a few problems. The van is a deathtrap, the seller had blacked out all the warning lights that were on the dash,  and I mean all.  He had also painted some kind of black stuff on the underside, to hide all the damage there.   My son drove it for over 2 hours to get it home. The machanic said he's surprised my son is still alive, and an untrained eye would not of seen what the seller had done.  Iv asked the seller for a refund and for him to have the van back, but he is refusing. Is there anything we can do.

    • 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.

Hello.

I've got myself in a bit of trouble

today I received a warrant of control in the post.

 

I'm in debt with credit cards

about 2 years ago, I became unable to continue paying my bills so I just stopped and put all letters that arrived in the bin.

Burying my head in the sand has done me no favours obviously,

 

I have 2 ccj's, each for about 4k.

There are other debts but these are the only ones to apply for a ccj so far.

I only opened this letter because it had a local court name stamped on the envelope.

 

I married shortly after I stopped paying my bills and while my husband knows I was in debt before we got married, I haven't told him about the ccj's yet.

We're not linked financially, so I know he's not actually liable to pay my debt

- even so, how do I explain to the bailiffs that it's just my income to take into account?

What will they want to take from me for the debt?

 

My husband is self employed, and I moved in with him after we married.

The tenancy is in his name only.

Everything is his, apart from my clothing and a few bits of furniture and cooker etc.

I'm not working but get £64 per week carers allowance benefit as I have an autistic son who lives with us and my younger son.

 

I can't afford to pay the £4k before next Monday and my husband doesn't earn enough to cover rent, bills, food and my debt.

I'm just so scared and am dreading them turning up.

 

I can't eat and I feel so anxious - not just because I caused this with my own stupidity, but I don't want to be a disappointment or burden to my husband.

 

Also, bailiffs knocking on the door and the tension it will cause will make my son highly anxious.

I'm not sure how to explain this to a 21 year old with autism.

It will be my fault that he's distressed and it's eating me up.

 

I'm hoping I haven't left it too late to try and sort this out.

I can't have bailiffs coming and taking my husband's van or belongings

- he nor I can prove that they're his things as he's had them for so long that receipts etc have long gone.

 

Also, my son has a Motability car that I'm registered to drive, can they take that?

 

Please, can someone offer me some advice?

woe horsey..slow down...theres nothing they can really do so stop worrying.

theres not right of forced entry on consumer debt.

 

it simply means you've run away from your debts

the debts have been sold on to powerless DCA's 

and the powerless DCA's have gone and gotten backdoor CCJ's by using your old address.

 

1st things 1st

on Monday, go ring northants bulk

ask for a copy of the Claimform AND the CCJ by email pdf.

you'll need the CCJ number from your credit file or from the warrant.

 

next goto our legal section of our library

get our N245 and the ex160 forms [exempts you from fees you are on low income]

 

fill those out and send them of to the court the warrant is from.

 

make sure you fill in the bit about suspending the warrant.

 

not much more you can or need to do 

they cant get blood out of a stone.

 

if you wish ring the bailiff

they him you've put in an N245 that should be the end of it all.

a court bailiff is not your enemy and will understand as soon as you tell him what you have done

 

 

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

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

  • dx100uk changed the title to Warrant of control - backdoor CCJ.

Hello and thanks for replying. I'm trying to be calm and rational but it's not so easy! 

 

I may not have been clear as I was on a bit of a ramble but the ccj's were issued while I was at my old address.

I stupidly chose to ignore them and of course, they followed me to my new address.

There's no bailiff name - it's a notice of issue of warrant of control from county court

- creditor is named as Cabot financial. 

 

I know I'm on a low income but won't they still want to know about husband's income?

I only get carers allowance and no tax credits etc, so they'll know my husband has to be paying for me, it's only £64 per week after all. 

 

Haven't I left it too late to try and negotiate with the court?

The ccj's were issued last year.

 

I'm thinking they won't have any sympathy for me, and why should they?

I knew I was in threat of a ccj, I knew I'd got them, and I chose to ignore them.

Why I thought that was the best option, I don't know.

 

Still, if you say that's what I need to do, I'll have a look at the form section you posted and get on to it first thing. 

 

Thanks for trying to put my mind at rest, I really appreciate it.

no stop worrying you don't have to put down your OH's income

you are not negotiating with the court, they will accept it

its for cabot the fleecing dca to workout if they'll ever get anything out of you.

and accept it.

tough luck on them sadly.

 

I think ive got it all right but there are lots of other people far more expert than me that will i'm sure clarify things if one or two bits are not quite correct

but 99% of it as its quite std sadly 

you can use our custom google search top right if you want to learn more

 

just type in warrant of control

or like words and it will pop up topics here with those words in

have a go.

 

don't forget to ring northants bulk.

 

what were the debt please

that might further help in deciding if there might be a chance in over turning this and the other CCJ you have

Hi. Have another look at what you received, people do not receive warrants of control through the post, they are addressed to the enforcement agents.

 

What you may have received is a notice of enforcement from the bailiff, could you see which firm it is from, please.

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO COLD CALLERS PROMISING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES FOR COSTLY TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS WITH SO CALLED "EXPERTS" THEY INVARIABLY ARE NOTHING OF THE SORT

That's what this is I think - it's definitely from the local county court, stamped crest etc.

 

It says "notice of issue of warrant of warrant of control". It looks scary.

 

There's only one "warrant", so not "..warrant of warrant.." - sorry, typo and I can't see how to edit.

Sounds like it. County court bailiffs are usually quite reasonable and approachable, mainly because they are salaried. I think you should

give the court a ring and ask for enforcement, tell them you are applying to the court for a variation. No need to bother the local librarian, see here.

Hi again and thanks for the links. I've looked at the form and I have to list expenses - obviously as I only get £64 per week, it's fairly obvious I wouldn't be able to afford the rent, council tax, food and bills without listing my husband's income. Isn't that going to be a problem? I'm not actually sure how to fill this in without it looking contradictory.

You can list his income but its ignored as such

It is nothing to do with them what hubby has as income. As for low income and high expenditure, if you are not on UC then all of the other benefits are not paid as cash so council tax benefit is just a reduced bill etc.  The form will ask about income after certain expenses so the bottom line is your £64 pays for leccy and gas. Also debt is counted as income and resets to zero

I called the Northants bulk office, but I was in queue position 31, and after 20 mins, only got down to 23! I didn't have the time to hang on as I was helping my husband at work. Instead, I called the county court enforcement office dealing with the Warrant of control.

 

A helpful lady found the CCJ and told me it was Cabot for an original debt with New Day.. I don't know who New Day are, but presumed they may have been a parent company for the credit card. I explained I wanted to apply for a variation but she said , as I didn't recognise the name, I should get in touch with them and ask for details of the debt. In the meantime, she hadn't sent the warrant to the bailiffs yet and would wait for me to get back in touch. 

 

I explained that I have a 21 year old autistic son at home, and as I'm very often helping my husband, I couldn't have bailiffs turning up at our door and trying to deal with him or his younger brother. She said she would make a note of that, and told me to get back to her when I'd spoken with Cabot.

 

My question is, what do I do now, how do I contact them? I'm nervous about calling them and I'm not sure what I need to say/find out.

 

Thanks for your help so far, guys.

I think the N245 is your best option(set a payment plan/suspend the warrant).....trying to agree a payment arrangement with Cabot informally will end in tears as they will want a review every 6 months and hound you to death.

 

The N245 is sealed and approved by the court and once set the Judgment creditors have to make application at cost if they wish to change the payment arrangement.

So, first few of many questions - no doubt.

 

It asked about current account (whether overdrawn or in credit) - it's in credit by £68, so I've put that (Carers allowance went in yesterday). Then it's asking about savings accounts. Now, I do have one which hubby transfers savings into - approx £400. Do I put that? I don't want to say I don't have one, but it's not my money that goes in. Should I open a savings account in husbands name? It was easier to pay it in to mine as I had one open already.

 

Next stumbling block, it asks about rent, CT, utilities, water, food, clothing etc - as my husband pays these (apart from uitilities which I pay by DD), do I put them down as my expenses?? There's no box to write down an explanation as to why I'd have such high outgoings with only a small income.

 

Next it asks about priority debts - as I explained, I stopped paying those over 2 years ago. Do I now have to contact them all and make offers of payments? The only debts I pay are a small CT debt and utilities from my previous address.

 

Next - court orders. I know I have at least one other CCJ, which again I have avoided paying, so don't have any information about.  I really don't know how to fill this out, do I? Should I add a cover letter to explain all of this?

 

Thanks.

p.s - this is only form 1 😣

 

**what should I put down as an offer?

I pay £50 per month to CT arrears so I'll list that in priority debts. 

 

I only have details of one CCJ (this one) and Northants couldn't tell me about the others as I don't have case/claim numbers. Does this mean I'll have to check my credit report? I've been reluctant to do that as it will definitely alert any other creditors to me, and so far they've just been fishing. Can I just sort out each CCJ as they crop up instead? At least I'll know what to do and how to fill in the forms.. I know you can bundle CCJ's together if they are less than £5k, but mine are over that amount. 

 

My head feels like it's going to explode!

get your hubby to stop payments to your savings account.

you list priority debts, t doesnt matter if you arent paying them just that they will be further up the queue than these lot so list them. No need to contact creditors unless someone decide to try and make you bankrupt and then they will get a rude surprise.

I've just had a look at the EX160 form and it doesn't look like I'm exempt from the fee as I don't get UC, IS or ESA. It asks for my income (not to include Carer's Allowance), so there'd be nothing to put in that section - in which case it's asking for my husband's income - he earns over the threshold they mention, so there's no point. I'll just ask him to pay the fee if and when the variation is successful (if that's how it works).

 

Thanks Anydorch for the link to the trust register. I'll look at that tomorrow. I haven't even filled out N245 entirely - I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the minute, and I've got things I need to get on with today. My son's already whittling and asking me if I'm OK, so I'm obviously visibly stressed out. I've tried to reassure him I'm fine, but I just want this to be over. I feel like a pain coming back here with all these questions, and that's just this first form.

 

Will I need to send in a copy of my Carers Allowance letter, and my bank statement to show the payment going in? Obviously, with the money hubby pays in for housekeeping etc, my bank account will look healthy.

Back at it this morning. It doesn't ask for copies on the form, just wondered if it may when they receives the form.

 

Out of my £286.65 monthly income from CA, my outgoings are £285ish. I can tweak that a little so I've offered £5 per month.

 

I haven't put anything in the "others living in my home give me" section, as my husband just pays for everything. Is that right? I'll enclose a cheque for the £50 fee, and it asks if I can pay anything off the ccj - should I enclose a cheque for £5 too? Is that also payable to the court or Cabot?

 

Thanks for your help so far.
