    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.

    • 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.

IN THE COUNTY COURT SHEFFIELD 

 

CLAIM NO: 

 

HX PARKING LTD  (CLAIMANT)

VS

 (DEFENDANT)

 

Date: 2nd March 2022

 

Witness Statement

I ... of...... will state as follows:

 

I am the defendant in this case and I make this WITNESS STATEMENT in support of my application to set aside the judgement which was heard at the COUNTY COURT BUSINESS CENTRE on 9th June 2021.

 

I make this WITNESS STATEMENT from information and facts within my own knowledge and which I believe to be true. 

 

I am requesting to reinstate my case because a third party changed my address and filed Acknowledgement of Service without my knowledge and permission.

 

1.  I received a parking charge notice in August 2020.  I then found a website called Parking Fines Ltd., who claimed that they dealt with these cases for £18 and they had a very high win rate.

 

2.  I paid this company.  This company filed an appeal with the parking company which was rejected.  This company then advised me they would only contact the parking company when I received the N1SDT claim form.

 

3.  In early March 2021 I received the N1SDT claim form and then I contacted Parking Fines Ltd. for help and they agreed to provide me with a written defence.

 

4.  After a few days the Parkings Fined Ltd. company dissolved.

 

5.  I was communicating with them through WhatsApp and they never mentioned that they would change my address or carry out any unauthorized activity without my permission or my knowledge (exhibit XXXXX).

 

6.  I submitted the defence on 13th March 2021 via e-mail.  Afterwards I did not hear anything from the court. 

 

7.  I recently rang the COUNTY COURT BUSINESS CENTRE to find out any update on my case and I was told that the address for service had been changed and that I had lost the case by default at Directions Questionnaire stage.

 

8.  The fact is that I did not return the Directions Questionnaire because i never received it at my address, Parking Fines Ltd. had changed the address for service without informing me.

 

9.  I attach a copy of the defence I initially filed and which I intend to use to fight the claim if it is reinstated exhibit XXXXX).

 

10.  I attempted to persuade the Claimant to agree to a set aside by consent but they did not reply to my communication (exhibit XXXXX).

 

11.  I hope you will consider my request and reinstate my case so I can contest it again.  I attach a draft of the order I would request the court to make (exhibit XXXXX). 

 

Statement of Truth  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

OK, I've had a go at doing up the English and cutting out some of the more waffly bits.  You need to be brief and to the point and let the judge know why you didn't defend.

 

I think you need to attach your defence as an exhibit.

 

You also need to include a draft of the order you would like the court to make.  Look at Andy's post 67 here  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/439264-unknown-vcs-ccj-bristol-airport-stopping-in-a-zone-where-stopping-is-prohibited-was-abroad/page/3/#comments  (if you can't find it in post 67 look a couple of posts above and below, sometimes the post count goes wonky).       

 

Check what I've written for accuracy, sometimes I couldn't grasp what you were trying to say so had to guess.

 

Your Statement of Truth is out of date and needs to be changed.

Exhibit refers to a document you wish to rely on or refer to within your statement...so as above you attach a copy of that document referred to and number it accordingly.

10.  I attempted to persuade the Claimant to agree to a set aside by consent but they did not reply to my communication (exhibit XXXXX).

You don't refer to a Draft Order as an exhibit.....if you are exempt from fees then there is no need to request as a costs in the order.
