    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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 all,

I received a Letter of Claim from Restons Solicitors, acting for Hoist Finance UK Holdings Limited (see attached).

This relates to a Barclaycard debt of around £4700, which is recorded as defaulting in September 2015.

As with my other debts (not currently chasing), the debt happened due to some difficult personal circumstances, and I of course regret the action I took at the time.

That said, it looks like this company are planning to make a claim in court, and with the letter being dated 20th April, I really need to send them a respond today or tomorrow by recorded post, to ensure that I am within the 30 day deadline, as far as I understand things from what I have read here. The letter asks me to pay within 30 days, and also includes a reply and income and expenditure form.

The agreement with Barclaycard was originally taken out on 3rd June 2010.

I would appreciate any advice on how I should respond to this letter. I'm aware that I have very limited time to respond.

I unfortunately don't have the means to clear the balance.

Many thanks.

Sorry, yes, should have written Howard Cohen. I had a different issue with Restons, relating to another account.

noted, and apologies! I'll get that CCA request sent to Cohen. 

 

I'll try and see if I can find out what the last payment was made.

Yes, it would be within 6 years (some time in 2015 I think).

 

regarding the other debt I mentioned

- Reston sent me a pre action letter on behalf of Arrow Global, back in 2017.

On advice I received at the time, I sent a CCA request to Arrow Global, along with a response letter to Restons asking for a list of transactions, notice and deed of assignment, as well as default notice.

 

It was a while back, but haven't  heard from them in a long time. at that point,

I thought it was almost certainly going to court, but hasn't so far anyway. 

 

do I also need to request similar docs from Cohen, in addition to CCA ?

CCA request goes to cohen client not cohen

read post 2 of that link topic CARFULLY

it also tells you what other docs to ask for already

remember use OUR attachment NOT the reply form they sent you in the PAP pack you got.

payment is within 6yrs so last payment date at this time is somewhat immaterial

 

as for the reason/arrows debt..

not sure you got the info the info from here as we never state to ask for the deed of assignment.

what was your old username if you did?

thanks. will check the post carefully and also download the linked attachment.

 

you're right, I was given the advice to ask for deed of assignment on another forum back in 2017, rather than here.

 

in post 1, it confirms that I have 30 days to reply to the letter. As the letter is dated 20th April, assuming I send your attached response form tomorrow 1st class, will this be acceptable (or could they only receive it when back in work on Monday, so over the 30 day period)?

don't fret about timing

and have

ZERO LEGAL POWERS

thanks for the reassurance, much appreciated. I was just worried they might immediately instigate court proceedings.

 

"I dispute this debt because..recommended reason as advised from your thread and add the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation."

 

which reason would you recommend I write for box D of the response form?

just stopped paying everyone at the time unfortunately. was going through a difficult family situation at the time, which all got a bit messy.

 

I was actually living outside the UK at the time this credit card defaulted, but we have since moved back to the UK (2-3 years ago). 

 

Howard Cohen must have looked up my new address via my credit file.

good job they did then

 

as for all your other debts that are within 6 yrs of last payment

you really should be writing to each one informing them of your correct address.

else you could be getting backdoor CCJ's you wont know anything about till they bailiffs are at your door.

 

checking  your credit file will help identify most of them.

thanks. I'll check which are not aware and let them know. as you mentioned, they are listed in my credit file

 

just to clarify, what reason should I include for box D of the attached response form?

 

Box I starts with the text 'I need a copy of...', whereas the instructions in post 2 includes text which starts with "I have requested by way of a cca request the signed agreement from the debt purchaser [cc attached to this reply form]" etc. Should I just cross out the 'I need a copy of..' and refer the person reading to a separate page with the full text asking for default notice, notice of assignment etc?

 

Also, although the top of the reply form asks a user for email address and telephone, I guess I should just leave those blank, and to not sign the reply form as instructed on page 13, but just print my name instead.

thanks. however, my response was based on the info I read in post 2 (not to sign the form, not to provide phone or email etc).

 

just wanted to check about box I, as the suggested response in post 2 started with 'I need a copy of..' rather than what is suggested in post 2 for that section.

 

for box D, post 2 advised that I should "dispute this debt because..recommended reason as advised from your thread". I'm not sure what reason to put here from this thread.
