    • When we did a mutual exchange (last year for me), both parties had to go to either the housing association premises or at one of the houses to sign paperwork. You need to see what they have signed, have both properties had an inspection, house efficiency and electrical test done?
    • Include that in your witness statement along with that letter as an exhibit.
    • Yup, well so far they have lied to me about responding to a CCA,  are threatening me with a default notice that they don't have, produced a knocked up version of my NOA, sent me 29 pages of spew for an agreement. No wonder they pay 5 p in the pound for that crap.
    • Paragraph 2. I think there should be further down and also you should make the point that the payment to was made unilaterally and without the imposition of any conditions. Paragraph 3 – this is unnecessary because you are not claiming as an entitled third-party. This worries me because it makes me feel that you haven't fully read around because this is a paragraph which you would include where you were suing EVRi as a beneficial third party because you had actually made your contract with Packlink or some other broker. I think you need to revisit and do some more reading. I'm afraid I have a sense that you have simply copied this from somebody else's witness statement without understanding that it wasn't necessary. Please can you post the amended draft. Other than the suggestions above, it looks okay – but let's see it again for a further appraisal. In terms of the evidence, parties bundle, I think it might be an idea to start off with the correspondence with EVRi and then go onto the other evidence. You will have to amend the index page accordingly. You could shorten this bit. Take 19 is pretty well blank and you may as well miss it out also, there seems to be some repetition of emails and the email chain. I think will be worth going through and getting rid of duplicates if you can. 49 pages is a bit long and it would be a good idea to try and reduce the number. I have a feeling that 50 pages as the County Court limit anyway. The judge will be happier with you if the bundle is smaller. Maybe you could reduce the size of some of the images or messages et cetera. You have got several messages which straddle onto a second page so that things like sign off information and standard confidentiality information become orphans. A bit of manipulation and they could be joined to their parents I think. Page 31 as an example. So is page 19. You may only be up to shorten the whole thing by 56 pages – but I think it would be a good idea. 56 pages is, after all, 10%. If you can do more then so much the better

    • 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.

The receptionist said when I left there would be a hearing at a later date, it would be 30 mins and they would let me know when,

 

tbh I didn't realise I would need to attend court, so I'm sure I'll be bk on here for some advice as to what I may be asked on the day .

 

Thank you so much for your help,

 

I'm truly grateful,

  • dx100uk changed the title to Backdoor 2018 CCJ Lowell/overdales - old 3 mobile debt - - now Marstons threat of writ of control

i suspect lowell or overdales will be in contact by letter too soon.

 

scan it up here when you do .

 

now back to this debt.

 

tell us what you remember about the phone/contract and what happened or not around the time you stopped using it.

 

+£600 is quite a sum, but will be the monthly contract rate of the remaining months it had to run, which i've said even Ofcom have stated is unfair to levy.

I came out of a woman's refuge, offered a flat really quickly ,

took out phone contract as I didn't have one,

 

husband wiped out my bank acc and took my car, 

was totally skint and sold the phone after a month.

 

I was alone and in an empty flat, with little financial support, seemed the only option at the time.

 

I think the bill may be so high as the handset was a decent one.

can you remember if you just signed up to a mobile contract or you also signed a credit agreement to buy the phone?

 

there POC simply states remaining contract and nothing about a credit agreement for a phone, which i don't think 3 did in those days anyway, so the phone was 'free' with the contract . if it was an 18mts contract it would have been around £35PCM?

I can't remember if it was a credit agreement or contract, I can't recall the amount per month neither, sorry, it was a difficult time. Is there some way I can find out if it was a credit agreement or a contract? Thanks

send 3 an SAR 

but read all the posts in the sar thread carefully 

as you'll need the contract number from the POC and CTAX bill for where you are now as proof as you've obviously moved.

 

that should coincide nicely with a hearing date .

 

and you'll know if the rubbish stuff lowell sends you (as they will have to in the statement ) is real or not.

 

but eitherway the sum is unfair according to Ofcom.

 

use our enhanced google search box.

 

lowell claimform mobile

and read a few 10's of threads

get upto speed.

Thanks so much, I'll tackle that tomorrow.  My brains a bit fried ATM. Thanks once again for taking your time to help me, I really appreciate it 👍😊

 

Hi, just an update. Received this today also copy of the forms I submitted to the court yesterday

my N244 text - set aside hearing date 22-06.pdf

 

I've been reading threads you suggested last night. I

'll send the sar today.

Is there a possibility that lowell won't show up at court?

Seems that has been the outcome for many,

 

thanks.

Just reading through your instruction....regarding the rubbish stuff Lowells will be sending....what are they sending, will they do it automatically? 

 

I've not requested anything from lowell,  I've never even spoken to them.

Thanks

Well the writ is already stayed by order of the court.

Lowell have not responded, so just turn up.

Everything should be quashed when gou win.

Inc removal of the ccj from your file.

If all that happens..debts gone too.

I sent the SAR to 3, they replied with their own form for me to complete, that was Saturday,  I've not responded to that yet.

 

I've not contacted Lowell/overdales to request anything, so not heard from them.

 

I just have no clue what to expect, what they will ask or what I'm to say.

 

Just play dumb to the said debt?

Do I need to take anything?

I'm getting a bit anxious about the whole court situation

its not for you to chase nor contact lowells, the court would have done that by informing them of the set aside.. tough luck for lowells.

 

i have outlined bits of how these claims are made (bogus contractual charges until end of contract on the months remaining) 

ofcom have already deemed these unfair.

 

there are lots and lots of lowell mobile claimform threads here ( use our enhanced google searchboc)

have you read any of them?

just make a few notes.

 

i would also make it known, if asked about the debt, that it was as a result of an abusive relationship which resulted in many other debts in your name too. and ofcourse the refuge etc etc.

 

if lowells don't turn up i doubt you'll be asked anything, 

 

winner winner chicken dinner

  • dx100uk changed the title to Backdoor 2018 CCJ Lowell/overdales - old 3 mobile debt - - now Marstons HCEO threat of writ of control

FWIW this is a HCEO Writ/NOE so as far as i remember an N245 is only applicable to county court bailiffs not HCEO Writs, thats why an N244 was recommended used/filed.

 

im trying to discover if you should have also sent the original claimant a copy of the N244, but as far as i can see the court inform the claimant an N244 has been filed to stay the execution of the warrant and set aside the CCJ.

 

sorry not firing on all cylinders at present and some rarely used braincells are not remember rarely used memory.

Thanks dx, I'm ever so grateful for all your advice and time! I'll go through the threads today, and refresh my brain. Northants said I had to submit both n244 and n245, so I did. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that lowell are a no show, it's quite a long way for them to come (sunderland).

Good morning.

I was back to court a week past Friday. Lowell sent a representative.  I'm a bit lost off to what happened. 

 

the lowell rep started off. He produced a witness statement from an overdales solicitor, the judge asked did I know of this, I replied I've not heard of this person nor seen the statement, the lowell rep then gave me a copy.....the judge then adjourned for 10 mins so I could read it.

 

On returning I said, I'd not received any proof of this debt ever, I actually thought it dated back to 2015, but infact it dates back to 2012. She agreed with me that this was confusing and was such a historical debt that seemed odd that a judgement had been made at all.

 

Lowell rep argued the toss, but judge said the whole judgement was questionable. The way I have understood it, she told me I had to write a witness statement to defend myself, I need to send a copy to the court and to overdales by 30th September. 

 

I think she's set the judgement aside, but wants another/new hearing for the actual ccj......I'm a bit lost off tbh, I've waited and hoped I'd have some correspondence from the court, but nothing as yet.

 

Does this make any sense to anyone pls? Thanks

i would say if there is a hearing to come when?

the judge set aside the CCJ and this resets things to as if you've only just got the claimform?

 

unless the judge has simply adjourned the case so you have time to digest their hidden WS and do your own one by the 30th sept pulling theirs apart?

Morning dx, no future date was set, I'm positive she set it aside, bit to still need to send my ws. I'm sure she said the ccj would need to be re done ie a new hearing.

 

Sorry my info is sketchy, I was nervous and was a bit confused with the legal terminology between judge and lowell rep.....but the judge was very much in my favour.

 

I did raise the missing "costs" on the poc. The rep then said, max humphery, the witness states the cost in his statement, I said, dies he, but where is the proof?

 

I said I've never to this day had proof, nor breakdown of costs....the judge agreed this unfair in my favour.

Should I ring the court and ask for further details?
