    • Daft question - but you filed the defence on-line on MCOL as dx indicated, right?
    • We looked up the e-mail address so communications would be in writing.  If you do stuff on the phone the other party can just deny the contents of the conversation.  They can't deny what's written in an e-mail. So time to sort Pete out.  Check the following for accuracy and change anything I've got wrong.  Then e-mail Pete this evening.  I was thinking of threatening the pub with legal action but let's initially be nice.   Dear Pete, Re: PCN no.XXXXX, claim form no.XXXXX on 23 July 2022 I was a customer at your pub and I attach proof of purchase. I was picking up my cousin Ms XXXXX and her family as she was working as a cook with you at the time.  I entered the pub through the back door, went to the bar, and ordered a drink and a meal.  At no point did any bar staff alert me that I needed to add my registration number or did I see any signs advising me to do so.  I then took a seat outside in a small seated area so I could chat to my cousin while waiting for her to finish work.  We were joined by the management of the pub and bar staff during my time waiting  I was shocked a few days later when I received a demand for £100 from Civil Enforcement Ltd.  i contacted the pub and was told "don't worry, it's not enforceable". Well, that information turned out to be nonsense because I have now received a county court claim form from CEL. I contacted the pub again on XXXXX and was extremely disappointed to be told "there's nothing we can do". Of course there is something you can do.  You are the organ grinder.  You called CEL in.  You can call your dogs off.  Your pub has absolutely superb reviews on Google Maps regarding the way in which you treat guests.  Do you really think customers should be dragged to court?  I'm sure you don't. I am therefore requesting that you intervene and instruct CEL to cease court action. Yours, XXXXX

    • 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,

Thank you Derwent, that make me feel better.

And also thank to Colly46 for your support. You will be fine I'm sure.

Yes the people on here are totally fabulous, helping unknown others with great advice is humbling. I feel ok actually. I will drop my son off at school on Monday morning and go straight to court. Going to do some Christmassy things with my boys over the weekend and not think about it too much. ( if I can!! ) Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

Good for you phm26, as hard as it is, we need to maintain some kind of normality and I too am going to do the christmassy thing today. When I first came onto this site i was petrified and clueless as to what was happening, I now understand the process and realise we cant let these people bully us,and I'm doing everything by the letter that I'm told, and I feel confident things will be ok. I hope one day, I can come on here and give my support and advice to someone in a similar position to myself as others have done for me! Enjoy your weekend guys:grouphug:

Morning all, just had a letter in post from ge. It informed me of my cmi and also that they are charging £57 each month on each account for my monthly fee contribution. It goes on to say it's to assist me and that a one off payment is not necessary and reduces my additional interest payable. They are also not prepared to suspend additional interest and further fees.

Is this correct? Thanks everyone x

So are they saying they are taking £57 each month out of every payment you make ??

You need to be telling the judge that they are taking £57 out of every contractual installment you make, thus keeping you in arrears.

don't fall for the little chats before hand - all done to put you off your stroke.

 

 

complain about all the PENALTY fees over all the years too.

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...

Hello all,

Went ok,

judge was very nice as was GE's solicitor.

 

Sadly though not all over.

 

I have to go back in 2 weeks,

the judge wants to see if we can get any money to bring arrears down at all.

So on it goes....

 

And thanks so so much to all of you for all of your help and support.

 

You are all wonderful xxx

Great News Pleasehelpme26.

 

Think about it - Mr Bully did not get his own way = Great News.

 

Did the Judge say how much would be helpful to raise to bring the arrears down?

 

This is still a RESULT - WELL DONE YOU.

 

Am sure Elleen will have calming and reinsurance about going forward from here.

 

Kind regards

Well done for even turning up. Some people are too terrified to go. Have you approached your employer about a loan which can be spread over sometime to pay it back out of your wages?

WARNING TO ALL

Hello everyone,

 

Thanks so much for all your support and kind words.

 

So the battle goes on....

Ge skeleton points were nasty,

some even bordering on slanderous,

very personal and upsetting.

The solicitor even told me his instructions were very clear..... They want me out!!!!!

 

The judge however didn't take any notice of them.

I was in there an hour!!

 

He is just very concerned at level of arrears and not much to live on after paying each month.

Not sure what percentage of income is advisable to live on.

So eviction was suspended and we have to return in two weeks to see if we can get any off of arrears.

 

Does anyone know if you can draw on a pension for mortgage arrears?

Can't borrow off employer as husband only been there a few weeks.

 

Have decided if we get through this,

we will probably sell early next year,

we have a bit of equity and I'd rather have that than Ge.

 

does anyone have any advice?

 

Also I'm paying the full instalment next week plus a bit off of arrears.

But how do I make sure it goes to my arrears and not £57 to my charges?

 

Thank you x

Hi Pleasehelpme26,

 

Again well done for yesturday - you did real well. Mr Bully hoofed and poofed but he could NOT blow your house down :-D

 

Perhaps it would help you to refresh everyone on the following points so that they don't have to wade back through the threads: -

 

1/ Arrears outstanding

2/ How many years left to run on mortgage

3/ Approx how much equity in the house

4/ What you offered off the arrears yesterday

 

Hopefully you will get some more excellent advice from the knowledgeable, amazing people on here.

 

Regards
