    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

Staff at a Highland hotel have been sacked and made homeless amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The owners of the Coylumbridge Hotel near Aviemore told workers who live at the hotel complex to leave the premises immediately.

They were given a letter, dated 19 March, to say the hotel was "taking the latest government advice" and that staff employment had been terminated.

Brittania Hotels later apologised and blamed an administrative error.

They have well and truly shot themselves in the foot .

They will never get over the bad publicity , social media is saying , boycott the hotel group .

Not sure if true , but Tripadvisor had to suspend reports on the hotel as well due to negative input .

Hotel workers are extremely vulnerable as they tend to be Live in All Found quite often, and the hotel has done itself more harm.  they should have let them stay as hotel is closed anyway, for time being, it would have been the right thing to do.

We could do with some help from you.

I just read the same thing about the Scottish highlands turning people in campervans away.

 

France has asked people in cities not to go away for the weekend and risk infecting people in country areas. They did last weekend and it didn't go down well. Moving around any country isn't a good idea IMHO.

take another viewpoint please....

 

sorry....but there is no harm at all in people going to Snowdonia, going to holiday homes wherever or coming :!: to the Scottish highlands.....even en-masse.

 

as long as they keep their personal space and awareness of giving/receiving a remote possibility of cross infection into consideration.

Wish people would calm the F down !

 

I am sure there will always be people making silly anxiety driven decisions or reacting out of fear, but in the situation the world is in, just allow time/space to think.  

 

There will be people and businesses making decisions which they will come to regret within hours/days.

 

And don't expect Government announced support to be instantly available . The number of people affected by the current circumstances runs into miilions of people. 

 

Hopefully within the next few weeks the country will be in a better place.

Lockdown is starting to happen anyway. In my local high street, cafes, bars and most shops are now closed until further notice.

 

A local B&Q was really busy yesterday, with people stocking up with DIY materials as they are expecting to be at home for a few weeks.

 

So from next week, the UK will be locking down, with only key workers going to work.

The more people move around, the more the virus spreads.

Think they are relying on an orderly voluntary shutdown before taking stern measures restricted shop opening is double edged sword, restocking the shelves will need to be planned, delivery drivers might be in short supply, as many will fall ill, who replaces them?  Volunteer retired HGV drivers with expired entitlements restored for duration, they are also in the at risk groups ,like the retired NHS workers they are asking to come back?  The chain of logistics isn't as simple as many think.

and you omit the most important advice someone says to heighten scare mongering..

as long as they keep their personal space and awareness of giving/receiving a remote possibility of cross infection into consideration.

 

just like above, you need to listen, read, and understand what experts say in the media….you want the virus to spread in a controlled manner then immunity in the population will reach levels whereby the virus will cease to be a viable threat. else it will return again and again.

Your second paragraph invalidates the first. You can't have it both ways I'm afraid

 

You mean herd immunity. When you say it's '' what experts say in the media'' who do you actually mean?

 

The health Minister has said it's not Government policy and the World Health Organisation has called it into question.

It seems to me that the science on this virus is uncertain.  It is best guesses on how this will play out, based on the evidence that is currently available.

There's another aspect of whether people who've had the virus once are actually immune. I haven't seen anything definite on this yet.

 

Well quite, that's one of the reasons why not a single government in the world has adopted herd ''immunity'' as a policy.
