    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Please provide advice on the following situation: I rented out my property to four students for 16 months until March 2024. Initially, the property was in very good condition, but now it needs extensive renovation. This includes redoing the bathroom, replacing the kitchen, removing wallpaper, and redecorating due to significant mould growth. The tenants also left their furniture on the grass, which is owned by the local authority. As a landlord, I've met all legal requirements. It seems the damage was caused by poor ventilation—windows were always closed, and heating wasn't used. There was also a bathroom leak fixed by reapplying silicone. I tried to claim insurance, but it was denied, citing tenant behaviour as the cause by looking at the photos, which isn't covered. The deposit barely covers the repair costs, or else I'll have to pursue money claims, which I've never done before and am unsure about its legal complications or costs. Any thoughts on this?

    • 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 was wondering if anyone could advise me.

 

I had a loan with Lloyd's bank, which I defaulted on in 2007/8

 

Lloyd's took a CCJ out against me in 2009. This fell off my credit record in 2015. I did pay Lowell £15 per month against this up until 2017 and I've paid nothing since.   

 

However, Overdales acting for Lowell,  have now sent me a County Court Claim form from the county court business centre showing that they intend to take out another CCJ against me for this debt.

 

I have no details of the original CCJ, as it was in 2009, and so I can't prove I had to one challenge this.  I have read that you can't have two CCJs against the same debt, but can't find anything else. 

 

Any advice on how to defend this second CCJ would really be appreciated. 

 

I have 28 days to responded to the court From 31 Jan 22. 

 

 I'm not sure how it's fair for this to be brought back onto my credit record after such a long time and if this is actually legal.

 

Lloyd's never fully enforced the original CCJ and (from my memory) sold it to Lowel. approx 2009/10

 

Many thanks for any advice or help with this.

Thank you.

 

I'll fully read that tread and post the full reply here ASAP.  

 

I never thought to keep a copy, as it was so long ago. To be honest,  at the time I received the CCJ in 2009, I wasn't opening mail due to the volume of debt and don't think i was really aware of the consequences. Guess I also assumed,  once it was removed from my credit record, that would be it.

it will still be but you've got to prove a CCJ existed, then they cant re litigate.

were you ordered by the judge to pay £pcm or after with negotiations with lloyds? then that carried through to lowells.

the tiniest detail from memory re dates etc could be useful.

So we can conclude that payments were made and There can't be any 6yrs gap previous to you stopping to Lowell's in 2017? Re poss statue barring?

 

It might pay you to ring Lloyd s Monday and ask if they have any written record of their ccj. And then poss get an SAR running to them 1st thing Monday.

 

Can you get that questionnaire done please

Just be aware, not that there is much evidence that Lloyds themselves do it, but, historically the group has merged, split, re-emerged, and split again so many times since your takeout, you might well get an unwelcome series of runaround to find who now has your data. 

 

There are BIN number online sites that if you take the first 6 digits of your 16 digit card number will tell you the exact type of card it really was and with whom 

 

Via a search engine you could then poss narrow down whom best to ring now that holds your data.

 

13yrs is not out of know bounds for it to still be held. Just get past the wolves at the door that immediately say no no it's outside of 6yrs we don't have it that's a scripted on screen get out ... Push.

 

Carefully explain you are being taken to court and its a very important matter that could prevent a claim of several £1000's being successful against you 

 

All you need is written proof a claim was raised/ccj judgement. 

 

That info could be usefulr

I've today completed the online gateway and completed both the CCA request to Lowell's and CPR  31:14 to Overdales, will be sending by recorded post tomorrow, as didn't have access to a printer today. 

 

I've also searched through all my old docs and have no details of the Lloyds CCJ etc. 

 

Sadly,  I've not been able to get through to Lloyds and was on hold for over 60mins earlier, had to give up due to work.

 

I'll keep trying and if need be,  send a SAR, but reading up on SAR's, the replay may come outside of the date for defence.   

 

Just one question re PO, is it wiser to send a PO rather than personal cheque or are both equally suitable? 

 

Thanks you for your help.

A cheque has your signature which not saying they do but you you wouldn't want them to lift it onto any 'faked' documents..which is why we say use a po 

 

You won't necessarily need concrete proof of old ccj by defence filing date, just a line stating a previous ccj was granted 

 

document exchange is not until witness statement disclosure stage which might not ever happen.

Hi DX, 

 

I filed the my "intention to defend all" Monday and posted letters to overdales and Lowell yesterday, by recorded post, along with postal order. Thank you very much for your help and advice on these. 

 

Yesterday I received a text from Lowell chasing me and offering to asset me paying the debt.  Today I received a letter from overdales, dated Monday 7th Feb,  advising me of similar and that I would soon receive county court papers.  But they sent those to me dated 01/02/22.  The letter ends by saying, if I fail to respond to them or to the county court papers,  they MAY enter a county court judgement against me etc.

 

This letter and text were sent to me after I'd filed my intention to defend all.

 

I'm just wondering,  once court papers are filed,  do they have to wait for that process to take place and cease to contact me, especially as  I've filed my intention to defend all.  Do you know if these  communications are breaking any rules? 

 

Also, is the "May take county court action" statement going against the fact that they have already instigated  county court action and could this be considered as  trying to confused me, which it has a little. 

 

Many thanks again for any help and advice you can give with this.

Hi all,

 

So I got the attached letter today from Overdales with two letters showing my debt was transferred from Lowell to Lowell portfolio 1 Ltd in July 2018, referred to as "Notice of Assignment". 

 

 It states that the remaining documents asked for, which were:-

 

-The Defualt Notice

-The Termination Notice 

-The Statement of Account 

-Details of the Contractual payments

 

 will be forwarded to me in due course, but there is no time frame given.

 

From my calculations I have until 04/03/22 to file a defence otherwise it goes to court.  

 

I was just wondering what to think of this reply.   If they fail to produce the documentation requested under 31.14 by my court date,  do they have to stop action, or would it be up to me to still file a defence?   Would the fact these documents have not been provided to me be a suitable defence? 

 

Many thanks for any help and advice  you can give.

No where did you get that from??

 

you must file a defence by date else you lose by default!!

 

they dont have to disclose any documents until disclosures stage. Though as with all our defences you note none to date.

 

but your PRIORITY is to get that Lloyds info 

 

pers to prepare incase you dont get proof of old ccj id be using our enhanced google search box for 

 

claimform loan

 

and youll see our std no paperwork holding defence

 

and it will teach you what you need to do at each stage as the claim progresses.

Thanks dx.

 

OK, I've filed an online Notice to defend all. Assumed I had 14 days plus anther 14 days.....  I am in touch with Lloyd's to try and get details of the account.  I'm currently trying to discuss with Lloyd arrears, getting passed about which I expected and the SAR due date submitted  will pass the court date.

 

Thanks for the link.  Just one further  quick question, would a defence that this debt has already had a ccj against it, be a sufficient defence. I appreciate I won't know until it did go to court.  But guess that's my only defence at the moment.  Would the court challenged why I did not pay it and have failed to respond to any of Lowells or Overdales letters.  

 

Thank you.

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if anyone could advise me.

 

I had a loan with Lloyd's bank, which I defaulted on in 2007/8

 

Lloyd's took a CCJ out against me in 2009. This fell off my credit record in 2015. I did pay Lowell £15 per month against this up until 2017 and I've paid nothing since.   

 

However, Overdales acting for Lowell,  have now sent me a County Court Claim form from the county court business centre showing that they intend to take out another CCJ against me for this debt.

 

I have no details of the original CCJ, as it was in 2009, and so I can't prove I had to one challenge this.  I have read that you can't have two CCJs against the same debt, but can't find anything else. 

 

Any advice on how to defend this second CCJ would really be appreciated. 

 

I have 28 days to responded to the court From 31 Jan 22. 

 

 I'm not sure how it's fair for this to be brought back onto my credit record after such a long time and if this is actually legal.

 

Lloyd's never fully enforced the original CCJ and (from my memory) sold it to Lowell. approx 2009/10.

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes, Lloyds, who ignored it and passed the debt to Lowell.  I entered into £15 per month with Lowell approx. Oct 2011.

 

I was just about to post my defence,  having received no reply to the CCA request and only a letter of assignment from Overdales in response to the CPR 31.14, which was sent to the wrong address.   

 

I've read a number of the other threads on here around CCJ defences and have tried to formulate my defence from these and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on it before I formally submit it to the court.   

 

My main concern is my defence point 2, does this come across as admitting to the loan.  Should I just remove the CCJ part and take that forward at a latter date?  

 

Many thanks again for any advice on this.  

 

Particulars of Claim : - 

 

1.The Claim is for the sum of £8154.01 due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for a Lloyds banking group PLC account with an account  reference of XXXXXX

 

2.The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s.87(1) of the consumer credit act 1974 which has not been complied with. 

 

3.The debt was legally assigned to us on 29/06/2018, notice of which has been given to the defendant. 

 

4.The claim includes statutory interest under s.69 of the county court act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issues of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00.

 

5.The claimant claims the sum of £8154.

 

What is the total value of the claim? £8709.01

 

Defence : -

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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. Particulars of Claim point 1 is noted. The Defendant has in the past had financial dealings with TSB Bank, then formally Lloyds Bank PLC between 1987 to 2009,  however, is unable to recall the precise details of the alleged agreement or debt by which the Claimant refers to within this claim. The Defendant recalls Lloyds Bank PLC obtaining a County Court Judgment against her sometime between 2008/2009 for a defaulted unsecured personal loan.

 

The Defendant no longer has any records or documentation pertaining to this loan or County court Judgement due to the timeframe that has lapsed.  

 

Lloyds Bank PLC have advised the Defendant “verbally” that they are unable to confirm if this loan is in fact the same loan now pursed by the Claimant, due to their records being archived.  

 

LLloyds Bank PLC did advise the Defendant that the account referred to by the claimant was closed by them in August 2008. 

 

The Defendant has had no further personal loans with Lloyds Bank PLC since 2008/09 and therefore assumes the Claimant is pursuing a debt through the County Court system for which a County Court Judgement has already been set against.

 

3. Particulars of Claim point 2 is denied. I am unaware of any service of a Default Notice pursuant to section 87 of the consumer credit Act 1974. I have sought verification from the claimant regarding this matter and to date they have failed comply.

 

4. Particulars of Claim point 3 is denied. I am unaware of any debt being legally assigned to the Claimant on 29/06/2018.

 

  I have asked the Claimant for proof of this Notice and was provided with copies of two letters, both dated 16/07/2018. 

 

However, both letters were incorrectly addressed with a partial address.  My address at that time was X, the copies of the letters show they were sent to X, which is totally different address in existence. 

 

As these letters were posted to the wrong address, it is unlikely I would have received them.


5. The Defendant has sought clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 through signed delivery dated 08/02/2022. To this date the claimant has been unable to comply fully with this request and therefore has been unable to prove its basis of claim, pleaded within its particulars of Claim and consequently is prevented from enforcing the agreement until such compliance.

 

6. The Claimant was requested on 08/02/2022, pursuant to s.77 of the consumer credit Act 1974, by way of  a signed delivery enclosing a £1 postal order, to provide a true copy of the credit agreement relating to the account, together with any other documentation the Act requires them to provide. 

 

The Claimant has neither acknowledged this request or provided the documentation.

 

7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to:-

 

a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and;

b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for and;

c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim

e) show that the Defendant has correctly been provided Notice of Assignment.

Hi Andyorch,

 

No, that was the problem.

 

I do recall defaulting in  2008/09 and recall it dropping off my credit file approx Oct 2015.  But I only ever had one loan with Lloyd's that defaulted and that was the one they put a ccj on. 

 

I've contacted Lloyd's over the phone, who advised me that all my accounts were archived and I'd have to write to their archived team, which would take time. 

 

They did advise me that Lowell had contacted them, and they appeared to be asking for the documents I requested in the CPR 31.14 letter. it would appear Lowell don't have these documents either, or didn't a couple of weeks ago.

 

Without any evidence of the CCJ I'm a little stuck because, if I can't prove it and Lloyd's no longer have the records due to its age and or DPA, I'm not sure how to defend it on that basis. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thank you

You could check the Land Registry if not already to see if a Charge was placed in connection to the judgment or make an inquiry with the Registry Trust from their archives.

Ok, thanks, I wasn't aware of this.   I'll request a full report, you never know, it maybe there. 

  

Also, if I can't find details of the old CCJ, is my defence sufficient or should I remove any mention of the CCJ.  Is there anything I could add that may enhance it a little. 

 

Many thanks for your help.
