    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

20.  The court has already looked at the case and made judgement for the claimant.

 

Default judgment?

I’ve sent in the paperwork to the court and Hunts motors. 
 

I don’t think they had any intention of doing the same as they have now sent in photos of the car, reworded my witness statement, HCEO’s letters. They’ve also took screenshots of their MCOL account with the names and case numbers of other people who have cases against them. 
 

so they are now in breach of GDPR
 

oh yeah- “there was nothing wrong with the car, it’s just that it wasn’t started for a whole year. “

Closing the stable door long after the horse has bolted springs to mind I don't see anything that would successfully support their application within that statement ......or genuine reason to request a set a side or what it wishes the court to do.

 

 

Very poor litigant statement.

The defendant has had the order set aside at the hearing this morning.
 
The reason that the judge gave was that he could not see on what or who's authority it would escalate to the high court as this costs “thousand’s of pounds”.
 
I explained that the HCEO makes the application for the writ via their legal department but, without him seeing the order he felt he had no choice but to set aside the CCJ and send the case to a new trial.
 
Hunt's said that they informed the court in May that they had moved address and then heard nothing until mediation and then nothing after. for some reason the court changed the address on their other cases but not this one?
 
He then started talking about us paying the money back: I told him that would not be fair as they received the car back, repaired and have resold it.
 
In hindsight, I should have included the writ of control as evidence as the escalation to the high court and also Hunt's word that they received nothing in the mail. I did say that they received emails but he would not accept that.

Sorry to hear this.

 

Surely in any rematch the fact they collected the car, repaired it and sold it has to count massively against them (make sure you keep proof of all this).  They can hardly claim they have the right to sell the car to two different customers and keep two sums of money!

 

What did the judge decide about you paying the money back?

 

And who ended up paying the costs of the hearing?

his only ruling was to list for trial.

He did not say anything about costs etc. but said that Hunt's could dispose of the car in any way they deemed appropriate.

From the paperwork, Hunts paid for todays hearing.

Well that makes the decision even more bizarre.  If the judge really accepted that the court had messed up and sent paperwork to the wrong address after Hunts had informed of the move, then they should have had their costs refunded.

 

Anyway, good that they've had to fork out £275.

 

When the court order arrives please post it up straight away, the devil is likely to be in the detail.

Hi all. I've attached the judgement as promised.

Case set for October 2023 and my fee has to be paid by mid September.

Statements have to be in 25 August.

We have the right to have the order set aside, varied or stayed but the application has to made within 7 days.

Hunts Motors are wanting to settle things out of court which is reasonable and said

It has cost me with bailiffs and court fees £4162, if you willing to pay half we can close this matter outside the court."

Bearing in mind the fact that they have sold the car but want to profit from us...........

We'll appreciate your help.

I have legal expenses with my house insurance but didn’t think to use it initially.

I contacted them and sent them the information.

Their reply: 

General conditions:
contact our legal assistance helpline before you take any action that may result in a claim and before you run up any legal expenses’


Unfortunately, as you have already issued the claim and incurred the issue fee and associated costs in respects of enforcing the judgment that has subsequently been set aside, you have not met the terms of the policy in notifying your insurers before taking any legal action.

Is there anything I can do to argue this decision. 

also, I tried to do things myself

- with the assistance of this website

- in order to mitigate my loss etc and also hoping not to claim on insurance and increase my monthly payments. 

I feel stuck here

  • dx100uk changed the title to Hunts motors Bedford - Faulty Car cambelt failed - i won by default/sent HCEO's - they paid in full - now set aside as court errored - new Hearing

the latter .

where do YOU stand financially out of this? you are now out of pocket on this by paying the fee? .. i'e you've not refunded anything nor should you have too. 

the whole of this set aside was down to a court error, the court sadly HAD to allow the set aside they errored .

far from hiding this, i think it needs to be included and should have been in your previous statement. neither you nor the defendant should be out of pocket for a court error??? @Andyorch

also the car miraculously starting and being driven onto low loader at your home?, and the defendant reselling the car and stating cambelt has since been changed should be highlighted...?
