    • 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 xx/xx/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 xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/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 I will start preparing for LIP costs for the time I have had to spend in claiming for this matter, please can I be directed to the relevant law and the principles of what is and is not allowed, I do not intend to claim the £90 per day, and would like to keep it simple and in line with the 19.00 per hour, but I am not sure of the layout and what documents I need to send with the costs statement.

 

Do I need to send all the  contact with Court and the orders or just issue the dates and time spent including on writing to the other side and to the Court about the claim and the applications, I have to date now spent over 46 Hours on this matter including time on the Forum for advice and my own research for the claim.

 

On Friday when the Hearing takes place and any other work in addition to this is still to be added to the above, I am mindful of keeping costs to a minimum for fairness and proportionality but do want to claim for everything as I have been forced to take this to the court, when the defendants own contract allowed a refund, if they Varied/postpones the contract under their own clause of 5.1 and they misled us to believe we can not have this right up to the Court Hearing.

 

Thank you

Thank you for the Link to BankFodder I will read through this on Monday on my return and hope to post up on Forum by Tuesday or Wednesday.

No evidence required. Simply a statement of what was done what time did it incur and the cost charged.

 

When claiming costs in Fast Track you would normally ask for your costs to be assessed and use form N260.

Here is the form to give you an idea.

 

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/958041/n260-eng.pdf

 

But your in Small claims track and as such costs are fixed therefore Summary Assessment is not usually adopted.

 

Under Part 27 of the Civil Procedure Rules that govern civil disputes, the court will rarely make an order for the losing party to pay sums in respect of the winning party's 'costs, fees and expenses', e.g. legal fees. There are exceptions to the general rule however which allow the court discretion to make an award for:

 

The fixed costs attributable to issuing the claim;

Court fees paid by the issuing party;

Travel and accommodation expenses which a witness reasonably incurs in attending a hearing;

Fees incurred in the instruction of an expert to attend the hearing (limited to £200).

 

To assist the judge in calculating awards of costs, Part 45 of the Civil Procedure Rules sets out a number of tables detailing what costs can be recovered by a successful party litigating on the Small Claims Track. These tables can be found on the justice.gov.uk website and vary according to the status, judgment and enforcement of the claim.

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part45-fixed-costs

 

Costs orders for a losing party to pay the winning party's legal costs are therefore very unusual. On the Small Claims Track, parties are expected to bear their own costs, even if they pursue a successful claim.

 

As a caveat to the general rules on costs, it must be stated that if a party brings an unreasonable small claim that obviously fails, or defends a claim by acting unreasonably and subsequently loses, the court has discretion to make a punitive order for that party to pay the other side's costs.

Please can the Forum advice if a defendant in his witness statement makes the following statement as a disclaimer in the first two paragraphs 

1.  I am the owner of the Defendant business in the above matter.  I make this witness statement in support of the Defendant's defence.

2.  The contents of this Witness Statement are based upon my own personal knowledge unless the contrary appears , in which case the source of my information is provided and contents are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.  Attached to the Witness Statement is a bundle of documentation marked as ........

 

The defendant has then gone on to change the facts, miss out important facts and documents including by lying to the Court, he has also denied us the original Contract and made up a new contract, which has never been seen by us or signed by anyone party to the Contract.

 

He then goes on to totally ignore the claim particulars we have raised since March 2020 and changed the timeline of events and submitted documents to support only his version.

 

He has then gone on and stated we cancelled the event when it was the Venue which cancelled this so again untruthful and he has made up things to gain from the claim - this is wholly against the principles of Justice and we wish to draw this to the attention of the Judge, we have concluded our witness statements and with help from Andy also prepared for the case, but we wish to put this into the Forum as this behaviour of the Defendant is further supported by a LAW firm DWF which has been mentioned on the forum now a number of times.

 

 

We have been put through 15 Months of lies and hell by this defendant and now he is lying to the Court and this is the kind of behaviour that makes people ill and these people simply do not give a damn, without this forum where would we be?

 

Any advice appreciated as I am at this stage of the matter so angry that this type of injustice continues in this day and age!

If he has produced a contract which is not signed then it could be argued that this is not the correct contract. 

What you say is facts might not be to them. So they have a right in challenging them and giving there own facts.  This is not saying either of you are right or wrong.

Thank you for that clarification GodMother, its incredible how they can just make up facts and documents and leave out others which they should have included and confirm the true facts, its not that we dont agree they should have their own version but surely their version must be actual copies and documents and signed contracts, (which they do not disclose or have as they were never signed or agreed), but lets hope that Judge will see through their actions to date, and Justice is served.

 

I had thought that they would need to have all documents not select ones they feel supports only their version of their defence and/or make up their defence when they never were part of the discussions,  However, we have confirmed in our statement and included the actual full copies of the emails they did not disclose, which shows the full facts in the matter.

They could argue a unsigned contract was a second copy held.

I know when credit agreements were signed and sent buy post they would say sign both copy's and keep one then send one back to us. How many ppl actually sign the copy the kept. Tho it would be the same copy.

Thank you altosbestos, I thought so, its this Friday 9 July, but they have made up facts  in the defence so its looks like we agreed a new contract (they cancelled and postponed in March 2020 and refused a refund) and have not supplied any documents or a signed contract to vary they terms and conditions or agree to anything, only two emails, which they have supposedly sent to us.

 

 

Their legal representatives DWF have submitted the documents and what concerns us is that these law firms are taking the mockery out of the Justice system and abusing the Court process for their own and their greedy clients, where the general public is then forced to go to Court to get the money back or

 

- this clown wants a 75% cancellation fee:  for postponing the event when they could not perform the contract,when they confirmed the postponement/cancellation of the event and then forced us to postponed the event from  March 2020, at that time he misled us as he informed us that he was within the law to refuse a Refund - he lied in the defence and stated we never asked for a refund in March again untrue,  stated we changed the contract, all of course not truthful and no documents submitted to us or court to confirm this at all.

 

 

I can confirm we have put them to strict proof but we wanted to highlight what is going on as the Forum needs to know this is happening and we have been put through the hoops by this defendant since March 2020, as can be seen from threads,  the defendant then signed up the witness statement as truthful, its shocking!

 

Its just unbelievable

Oh and they only have to produce documents that THEY intend to rely on.

The have a copy of your documents and comment during the hearing from there on them.

Why would they produce documents they dont want or have nothing they want to use on them.

No we were never provided with a document which was signed and they have none as we never signed one the only agreement we has was in meetings in 2019 and we paid them the money and they sent a confirmation in 2019 stating contract on top left, thats all, they have now added new figures to the same document and stated this is the new contract, but this again was for 350 guests, they can never give the service for such in any event.
