    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback.
    • Indians, traditionally known as avid savers, are now stashing away less money and borrowing more.View the full article
    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx  
    • Hi LFI, Your knowledge in this area is greater than I could possibly hope to have and as such I appreciate your feedback. I'm not sure that I agree the reason why a barrister would say that, only to get new customers, I'm sure he must have had professional experience in this area that qualifies him to make that point. 🙂 In your point 1 you mention: 1] there is a real danger that some part of the appeal will point out that the person appealing [the keeper ] is also the driver. I understand the point you are making but I was referring to when the keeper is also the driver and admits it later and only in this circumstance, but I understand what you are saying. I take on board the issues you raise in point 2. Is it possible that a PPC (claimant) could refer back to the case above as proof that the motorist should have appealed, like they refer back to other cases? Thanks once again for the feedback.
    • Well barristers would say that in the hope that motorists would go to them for advice -obviously paid advice.  The problem with appealing is at least twofold. 1] there is a real danger that some part of the appeal will point out that the person appealing [the keeper ] is also the driver.  And in a lot of cases the last thing the keeper wants when they are also the driver is that the parking company knows that. It makes it so much easier for them as the majority  of Judges do not accept that the keeper and the driver are the same person for obvious reasons. Often they are not the same person especially when it is a family car where the husband, wife and children are all insured to drive the same car. On top of that  just about every person who has a valid insurance policy is able to drive another person's vehicle. So there are many possibilities and it should be up to the parking company to prove it to some extent.  Most parking company's do not accept appeals under virtually any circumstances. But insist that you carry on and appeal to their so called impartial jury who are often anything but impartial. By turning down that second appeal, many motorists pay up because they don't know enough about PoFA to argue with those decisions which brings us to the second problem. 2] the major parking companies are mostly unscrupulous, lying cheating scrotes. So when you appeal and your reasons look as if they would have merit in Court, they then go about  concocting a Witness Statement to debunk that challenge. We feel that by leaving what we think are the strongest arguments to our Member's Witness Statements, it leaves insufficient time to be thwarted with their lies etc. And when the motorists defence is good enough to win, it should win regardless of when it is first produced.

    • 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 guys , I’m sorry to be back so soon after expressing my gratitude from being “debt free!” 
 

 I received an email  notification from my credit reference agency saying there had been a change. I have went to look and it says CCJ 2nd March 2022. 
 
In a nutshell I have been homeless since July last year and have had no way to fight this . So far I have taken the reference number and spoke to the court who have advised me it’s a Lowell CCJ for a sky tv subscription!  

 

Racking my brains this is from back in 2016 from a domestic split up , I rang sky to cancel everything within days of the breakup and the person on the phone explained their sympathy for me and told me specifically it was all been dealt with and there was nothing to worry about! Would they still have the recorded phone call on record?


I’ve requested the appeal form alongside the low income form for the fee discount which the court have emailed me.

 

Where do I begin with this one please?

 

I’m hoping for another victory here!

 

Thanks!

you need the particulars of claim from the claimform verbatim and the address it was filed to. as well as a copy of the judgement ccj.

northants bulk will email those to you if you ask 

 

n244 and the forms are already here on cag but you need all the claim details first.

 

i though you had written to everyone with an address yo could get mail quickly via?

this would have taken months to get this far.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Lowell Backdoor CCJ for old Sky Debt.

Hi dx thanks for the quick response!

 

Unfortunately if I did do that a while ago (updated addresses ) the contact address would be the address I had to leave last year ( July 14th 2021) I didn’t have any paperwork from Lowell up until that date .

 

I haven’t had a real postal address since July last year although I do have one available to me now ( luckily !)  

now with this available postal address which companies should I be informing ?

 

I will get onto the court first thing in the morning to ask for the required details .

The address is the previous address in question I was there for around a year and a half.

Ok great stuff I will do that ! I do think it’s only Lowell that hold any old debts of mine and they are all ( 2/2 of them) coming up to the 6 year from date of original default this year .. 

 

Sorry to post again but it appears I’ve got aer one too.. A capquest back door ccj on my file for a little woods catalogue ! CCJ.  date is 04/11/2019 from an address I haven’t been in since 2015. I’m guessing it’s too late for that one.

 

This is a copy of the email from the court when I requested the particulars of claim

 

The court is asking for a fee of £11 for a copy of my CCJ to

me emailed to me or subsequently a current postal address. Thanks!

To be frank

i think both are going to be difficult to set aside?

how are you going to defend them if you do get a set aside hearing?

That’s why I posted here in my original post

 

I explained my situation and the circumstances where the employee of the company told me on the phone that it was all cancelled and there was nothing to pay so surely it’s a civil dispute between me and sky ?

 

I could start with a data protection act for all data held on me from sky and see if they have the phone call still recorded could I not?

Or get the ccj set aside later as if you be fee free to you?

 

If you can pay it then do so, but you still got another one there so not sure how that really helps you much....bar a clear credit file 3yrs quicker.

 

sar sky, though they wont have phone calls from that long ago but might have notes on their file.

 

did you retain any equipment after, when you were asked to send it back possibly??

After over an hour on the phone to sky I was told to email their complaints department so I can have it all in writing. I will look to get it setaside.

 

As far as the other CCJ goes I will look into trying to get that paid at a later date . It was filed in 2019.

 

There is question marks over my affordability of the account at the time and it was used for a bed and living things but I suppose it is an expensive lesson learned .

 

Thank you !

I wouldn't worry about paying an old ccj. They arent chasing and paying a ccj outside of the 1 month does not remove it. A satisfied ccj is as bad as a non one with regards credit. It still kills it for 6yrs.

 

Please read my last post and answer my questions

If i don’t get a response from the email I sent I will send them a sar and as far as the old equipment goes there was none of that sending back items back in 2016 it was a very basic sky+ box with a broadband router . Even if they did I had no way of getting it back for them. 

 

I posted that reply hours and hours ago but it didn’t click the post button it was sitting as a draft in the type box .. sorry for double post !

Update:

 

After being passed pillar to post from sky to Lowell to a company called overdales ? I now have a unique case number from sky and they are processing the SAR request for me.

 

 I’ve managed to find out that my ex was paying the sky bill up until late 2017 and then decided to claim all of the money back from direct debits through the bank . Leaving me liable for this debt..

 

I’m hoping to get my set aside form filled in today .

 

If I pay the money to get it set aside can I claim this money back from the company prosecuting?

 

Thanks!

What defence do you have to set aside?

i cant see one?

 

if you are thinking of paying £275 to set aside without a guaranteed win, why not pay the ccj at £375 and it wont get registered?

overdales are lowells solicitors.

I’m awaiting my evidence from sky for the phone call and/or comms notes to set this judgement aside .

The total judgement is £497 is it not? That’s what the amount is going to be on my credit file .

 

As far as the £275 goes I’m going to pay it and claim it back so I’m not going to be paying for a debt that I don’t owe .

Does that sound like a good plan or am I living in false hope? 

 

Am I right in saying I can get the judgement set aside for another hearing , and if I win I don’t have to pay the CCJ ?

 

On the other foot if Sky’s incompetency or deception lead to the fact I get no evidence of said phone call and I lose the second hearing I can just pay the £375 then and it won’t be on my credit file?

Lets hope there is evidence then.

you wont get your £275 back until/unless you win the granting of a set aside and the subsequent later hearing about the debt.

I made them aware I was homeless at the time with no way to acknowledge , read , reply and legal right to defend the case.

I also said I had a special agent at Sky getting things together for me with her direct contact number and my unique case number ..

I also said I will forward any evidence as it comes to me .
