    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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 applied for a charge order (  N 379 )  against property owned by a person who owes me money from a CCJ but as not paid a penny so far. 

An interim charge order was been granted and the person objected and at a hearing  asked for the Charge order to be " set aside ".

His case was dismissed.

 

I need to know what happens next.

Does the final charge order automatically take place, or do I have to perform further work myself ?

 

I have contacted the County court where the hearing took place and also the land registry, but one has not replied and the other replied but did not answer the query.

 

Does anyone know the answer or are able to let me know where i can find the answer.

dx100uk,   no he is joint owner.  The interim charge order is already shown on the title register of the property and the other joint owner ( wife ) has been served with the notification papers as per the procedure.

Applying for a charging order involves two stages: the interim charging order and the final charging order.

Interim charging orders

If your creditor decides to apply for a charging order:

  1. Your creditor sends a form to the court along with proof from the Land Registry that you own, or jointly own, your house
  2. If the court agrees that you own a share of the property and a charging order is allowed under the rules above, you'll be sent an interim charging order on form N86 and a copy of the creditor's form N379. These show the reasons they've applied. This is also sent to your spouse or civil partner, any other joint owners of the property and your mortgage company or other secured lenders
  3. A restriction will be placed on the Land Registry, stopping you from selling your house until the final charging order hearing. You will get a form B136 from the Land Registry telling you this has happened. You don't need to reply to this form

The interim charging order is issued without a hearing. If you do nothing, a final charging order will be issued 28 days later.

If you want to object to the final charging order, you must write to the court and creditor within 21 days of receiving the interim charging order. The court may then arrange a hearing to make a decision.

Reasons to object might include:

  • The property doesn’t belong to you, and you are not entitled to a share of any equity in it
  • The CCJ happened before October 2012 and you’ve not missed any instalments set by the court
  • The creditor has not followed the application process correctly, for example they’ve not informed your spouse or civil partner

You can also write to ask the court to set conditions on the charging order. One condition that we recommend asking for is an affordable instalment order, if one is not already in place. This is where the court sets a regular payment. If the court agrees to this and you keep up with the payments, the creditor will find it much harder to take further enforcement action through the court.

If no instalment order is set there’s a risk the creditor could take further action, for example by instructing enforcement agents (bailiffs) to visit. If your CCJ was date 1 October 2012 or later, an instalment order which is up to date also prevents the creditor applying to force the sale of your home.

Final charging orders

For the second stage of the charging order process, if you’ve not made any written objections, a court officer or sometimes a District Judge will decide whether to make a final charging order.

If you wrote to the court and creditor with objections, or you requested other conditions are applied, the court may arrange a hearing to decide whether to make a final charging order.

The hearing will be at your local County Court hearing centre. The hearing will usually be in private chambers with a District Judge and normally a representative from the creditor. The judge will listen to both sides and decide whether to make the final order or not, and what conditions if any are to be applied.

Once a final charging order is made, you’ll get a letter from the court confirming this on form N87.

Thank you for your replies. You have answered my query. I was not aware of form N87. I have looked at the form on line and I have not received it from the county court yet ( hearing date 5/11/20). So i can now chase them and refer to the form.

 

Thank you andyorch and dx100uk.

It would be good if you could at least credit Stepchange for your copied and pasted information:

 

https://www.stepchange.org/debt-info/debt-collection/charging-orders-and-my-home.aspx

 

You can still apply for the final charging order to secure the debt against the property.

You can then apply for an order for sale once that's granted but the joint owners' situations would need to be taken in to account by the court.

 

Whether or not it is granted depends on the status of the home and what the intention of the joint owners was when the property was jointly purchased. If it is a family home with children, the order for sale is unlikely to be granted.

 

If there is insufficient equity in the property to cover the debt and the debtor cannot make any repayments, it's also unlikely to be granted. Disabilities of the occupants can also be taken in to account. Depending on who the occupants are and why they are joint occupants, it may be difficult to force a sale.

Thank you for your helpful replies.  I am waiting for Form N87 from the County Court ( i will be chasing this up ).

Next question.  When i receive form N87 what do i do with it ?  Is a copy sent direct to the land registry or do i have to send it and if so is there an accompanied form to go with it ?

    I note your comment and i have checked and I it is a non- standard registration and not a standard form K, charge order.   

    I accept that this does not guarantee immediate payment. My case is that the debtor owes a five figure sum from a CCJ in my favour for over twelve months and he has not paid a penny.  

    I am also proceeding with court action to enforce payment, and the charge order strengthens my case to ensure the debt is paid at some point. 

    As i stated in a previous post, when i receive the N87 I would like to know what i need to do with it. Do i need to inform the land registry and if so are there any forms that need to accompany it.

    Cheers

Advice required please.

 

I am owed a five figure sum by a builder. I have a Judgement in my favour against him, but he just ignores every attempt to get him to pay. I submitted an "order to attend for questioning " ( where he has to provide all his financial information under oath ) as a step towards an Attachment of earning order. 

 

He did not attend the hearing nor provide the information. I was advised by the court because of non attendance  that the matter  would be referred to a Circuit Judge as only they can sign/ approve a " suspended committal order " ( whereby a further non attendance would allow bailiffs to arrest him and bring him to court.). 

 

Another hearing was arranged and the guy did not attend again. I was expecting the suspended committal order to be actioned, however another hearing date as been arranged. Try as i might,  i cannot obtain clarification from the court if a circuit judge ever sign/ approved the suspended committal order in the first place.  I suspect not. 

 

Question : why would a circuit judge not sign/ approve the suspended committal order ?

 

Question:  who can i contact within the legal court system to get answers ?   

I email all sorts of people, but just get referred on, with no real answers.

Thanks in advance

so is related 

i'll merge them as is gives a greater more informed picture.

is his property with your charge on it solely in his name?

edit : i see it is a useless restriction k. after merging threads

 

now, i will assume this judgement is for greater than £600 so why didn't you cross courts and send in the High court Bailiffs but went down the somewhat useless  county court enforcement route?

  • dx100uk changed the title to Successful CCJ/CO(only a restriction k) against builder - but he still won't cough up
  • 1 year later...

I have a CCJ in my favour for a five-figure sum against an individual.

There is a "suspended attachment of earnings" against him in my favour (which he is paying monthly), but it will take twelve years to pay off the debt. That is too long to wait and i have no confidence he will keep paying.

 

His circumstances are:

employed,

jointly owns house worth £320k, with £80k mortgage (£120k equity in his name).

No valuable saleable assets in his name.

Married with two children living at home (both over 18).

 

Is my best option to recover my money to petition him for bankruptcy

 

The threat of bankruptcy may make him find the money to satisfy the debt. If the petition is successful, is it realistic that the official receiver will sell his family home to satisfy my debt?

 

I don`t want to waste my money (£300+) filing for bankruptcy unless there is a good chance it will settle the matter to my satisfaction. 

 

Any advice would be welcome.

Hi

 

I have to agree with dx100uk send in the HCEO's it is for them to assess what asset's this individual has that can be used to pay back your money.

 

As for the two cars the Registered Keeper on the V5C does NOT state they are the Owner of that specific Vehicle and it also clearly states that on the V5C so the V5C is NOT Proof of Ownership. (that is for HCEO's to sort)

 

As for your suggestion of Bankruptcy if there are other Debts owed by this individual that you are unaware of then with Bankruptcy all Creditors which you would be one would end up on a list as to what asset's this individuals has to pay off the debts incurred by all Creditors on that long list so you may end up at the back of a long list and still doesn't guarantee you will recoup your money.

 

IMO get the HCEO's in yes there is a cost for this but let them deal with what asset's they do or don't have to recoup your money

very doubtful sale of home would ever be forced.#

thought as the children are over 16 unless they are vulnerable etc would play no part.

Does the charging order not preclude applying for a bankruptcy as it is a secured debt?.

Although, there could be mileage in arguing that if it is merely a Restriction K then it isn’t secured, and so shouldn’t preclude insolvency proceedings!
