    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 recently got into a legal battle with my former university who listed an undergraduate course at their institution which I soon realised was nothing like what they had said it would be in the promotional and marketing tools they used to appeal to prospective students. I explained my reasons for leaving and told them how angry I was at them for wasting my time.

 

They sent me letters demanding I pay all of the semester one tuition fees, but I refused and said they have no right to the money such was the poor quality of the course. 

 

Two years later they issued a County Court Claim against me, by then of course I had discarded or deleted almost all of the hand outs and learning materials. This made it very difficult to prove in court my defence and I lost.

 

Now the university have escalated the case to the High Court and a High Court Writ has been issued against me. I have received a Notice of Enforcement from Equita Bailiffs demanding payment. Can I ask do they have the right to break into my home or get a locksmith round to enter my home and take goods? 

 

Any help or advice would be really appreciated as I have never been in this situation and I'm furious with the university for doing this. I should have register a claim against the University for mis-selling their course and wasting my life for a year but never did that.

 

Jack

i've slightly updated your title to better clarify your issue.

 

no they cannot.

the only reason HCEO bailiffs are involved is because the debt is greater than £600 .

 

just to be sure of things esp like the claimant and their solicitors (whom we know well.... redwood/harwoods par chance?)

can you fill this out

You have received a Court Claim ISSUED IN ENGLAND & WALES What you need to do - Financial Legal Issues - Consumer Action Group

 

and post up your defence 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...

  • dx100uk changed the title to Uni crap course dispute CCJ i lost & Equita HCEO's Writ

Hello dx100uk and thanks for responding I really appreciate that. I do like the new title for my post, if you did that thanks it sums up more accurately what's happened.

 

I am relieved to see you say they can't force entry but I'm sure I've read that if after a certain amount of visits and I refuse to let them in they can go back to the court and get another order from the judge which would grant them the right to force entry, is that correct?

Name of the Claimant ? University of....would rather not disclose name of university if that's alright.

 

Date of issue – 18/10/18

 

Particulars of Claim

 

What is the claim for – 

 

I have never received a Particulars of Claim as the university issued to my old address so never received court papers, they obtained judgement by default in 2018.

 

I successfully got the judgement set aside and was eventually allowed to defend the claim.

 

My claim was based on breach of contract and other areas of consumer law in which I claimed the course had been mis-sold to me, it did not in practice do what it claimed it would do to help me into my desired profession, the tuition was defective and the overall quality of the course was poor.

 

What is the total value of the claim? £2300
 

Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I never received any notice that a claim had been issued.
 

Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes.
 

Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? No.

Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account?
No.
 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After April 2007
 

Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online
 

Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Unsure
 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Issued by university
 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? N/A
 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? No.
 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? No.
 

Why did you cease payments? Never started.
 

What was the date of your last payment? There isn't one as I never made a single payment.
 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? Yes I was in dispute with the university over their crap course which was blatantly mis-sold to me.
 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No.

 

I hope this provides at least some of the information you require. The problem with some of these questions is that they relate to a live case but my case has now been adjudicated and despite successfully setting the default judgement aside I lost the case. I then attempted to appeal but at the appeal hearing, by phone, I was not given permission to appeal.

  • dx100uk changed the title to backdoor CCJ for crap Uni course - set aside ok but lost rehearing. Now Equita HCEO's Writ

Thread title updated again.

 

sad you lost the rehearing after the set aside. Who were the sols please i bet we know them??

 

so since you lost that, what did the judge order? Was It a forthwith judgement or did he set a £pcm plan?

 

don't think there is much more you can do other than you can p'haps file an n245 to get a variation to a low £pcm . That will sort things properly and remove bailiff action. Cause to date youve not paid anything?

What is your situation in regard to ability to pay this debt ?

 

Are you employed ?

 

If you are employed, after paying housing costs, utility bills and other basic living costs, is there any money left to pay towards debts ?

 

Do you have a vehicle parked near your home ?  If yes, suggest that is parked elsewhere. Even if on finance, they may be tempted to take a keen interest in it, in the hope you run out of the house leaving your door open, giving opportunity for them to enter.

 

Do you own any property with any equity ?

 

We could do with some help from you.
