    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • 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.

I have put together the bundle for court as in post #25 case management representations, to try speed things along a bit.

Do I include a cover letter or is fine to just send it in as this bundle?

Where can I find post#25 case management representation as I am also just putting my court bundle together and am feeling a bit fazed.

Hi,

The N149 is now available online, and the section G box can easily accomodate the text which BF says should be stated on a seperate sheet. Is it ok to actually type this in section G, and therefore just add the rec draft order, rather than adding extra docs which are not needed?

 

In my mind, it sounds fine, and this may have been thought about earlier, but by page 10 I'd got a little itchy to find out! (sorry!!!)

 

Any advice gratefully received.

 

Peter

 

ps - has this worked at all for Barclays, seeing that the defence is alot more wooly than some other banks.

Also in D as my claim is substanuly larger than £5K do I automatically tick "FAST TRACK"

(G) Understand to leave this blank

(H) totally totally stuck, so hopefully will break this down -

1st box tick yes

2nd box tick yes - However as I have not sent anything to the other parties, what do I put in the box "when did they receive them??????????

What does do I intend to make applications in the future mean, and what do I put.

I am claiming against Abbey for £4300 incuding interest and court fees and have received a letter to say that my case has been transfered to my local court and that the AQ be dispended with unless the transfer court orders otherwise. I have sent a nudge letter to Abbey (It has come to my attention that as of xx/xx/07, ( date of the letter from the court) that an Allocation Questionaire may not be required in this case) etc... should I also be sending a 'Draft Order for Allocation Questionnaire (is this the same as the 'Draft Order for Directions'?) and accompanying letter to the court? If so, should I also send a copy to Abbey?

 

 

Sorry for being a pain or a little confused but what does "Any party affected by this Order may under Rule 3.3 (5) apply to have it set aside, varied or stayed. Such a party must apply under Rule 23.3 withing 14 days of service of this order' mean? It is part of the Notice of Transfer of Proceedings that I received from the court.

 

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated :-?

Ignore it - its just the standard wording on any order which has been made on the courts own initiative.

Yes, you are both witnesses - to "all facts and matters relevant to this claim".

Also in D as my claim is substanuly larger than £5K do I automatically tick "FAST TRACK"

No, I would still tick small claims. For reasons put -

a) The claim is a consumer dispute, for which the small claims track was specifically designed

 

b) Overriding objective's require both parties to be on an even footing - the small claims track can provide for this whereas the fast track would mean costs exposure which would be a heavy burden for you but insignificant to the defendant

 

c) The law relating to contractual penalties is long established in both common law and statute - therefore the issues are of fact, not of law.

(E) I also understand.

(F)I have ticked "yes" and will attach the Draft order of directions as per the AQ template - Is this correct???? aprt from the obvious do I change any of the wording?????

Correct

Send a copy to the other side, and put "sent **/**/** first class recorded delivery"

No applications

Also what do I put in other information.

Hi,

 

I don't know whether anyone is still wanting to know which courts are ordering the requested directions?

 

If they are, Basingstoke County Court has just ordered my requested directions in two of my cases, so it's looking good here :D.

 

Shame I bottled on one of the cases just one week too early tho... lol :(

 

Nikki :)

Halifax Card: Claim served 30th Mar - they met 2nd AQ deadline - waiting for Directions/Court Date

Monument Card: Claim served 30th Mar - Directions taken - 14 + 14 day deadline 18th June - settlement signed & waiting for cheque

CitiCards: Claim served 6th April - Defendant's docs (only) to be received by 25th June - case back to Judge 2nd July

A+L (SETTLED IN FULL): Prelim sent 16th April - Claim settled 4th June (on the defence deadline)

Debenhams Store Card (SETTLED IN FULL): Prelim sent 17th Feb - Claim settled on 14th Mar (3 days before LBA deadline)

MINT Card (SETTLED IN FULL): Prelim sent 8th Feb - claim settled 14th Apr (1 day after defence deadline)

I could really do with some help here if you don't mind.

 

Could you please PM me.

Quick question for GaryH...... Abbey has filed defence and I wish to send abuse orders stuff to court - is it worth asking for my claim to be sent to Small Claims Court when it is for more than £10k. Could I request disclosure be required (in whichever court) without asking for small claims court? I would appreciate your help. Also i want to refer to the cases of mariejader and KellyJ, would a simple para giving the case nos be sufficient:-

 

All the best Aoife

Yes, no harm in requesting small claims - you may not get it but if its a simple charges + 8% then its worth a try.

 

The abuse order request in the Abbey forum contains a disclosure order request in the alternative anyway.

Smartellie v First Direct Won!!!!!!!!!!! (well i hope so)

 

Hi Gary

following your advice a few posts/pages back i submitted the AQ with your request for directions and N244 to amend particulars of claim as i had done myself out of about £1K. i have not heard from the court save as to arrange a hearing to discuss my amendment but i received a letter from DG Solicitors (which our frends and colleagues in the First Direct fan club will know and love!!) offering the full amount of £10,373 (including charges and interest up to 14th May so that includes the amended amount with the extra grand on top. I believe your directions and my comments for allocating for the fast track and standard disclosure with a few additional questions have really moved this on so a donation is on its way to you, you are all stars!!.

 

the offer has come with the standard letter requesting confidentiality however i do have a loan with FD which is secured on my house i am not in arrears and am paying more than the normal montly payment to get shut of it, i am concerned that they will offset it against the loan which obviously i don't want. My initial idea is to stipulate cheque payment within 14 days otherwise the legal proceedings will continue, First question can i do this, secondly, can i still go for a wasted costs order or is the previaling wisdom to grab it and run

 

all help gratefully received i don't want to cock it up at the last stage

 

kind regards

Yes, you can specify cheque payment although I don't think they are obliged to provide the refund by any particular specified method. They may just pay it into your bank account. Although I believe that they do have a "right of offset", I don't think its very likely at all that they'd offset it against the loan.

 

Yes, you should wait until you receive the settlment before you discontinue procedings.

 

Yes, you can still go for wasted costs. The court might reject it but there's nothing to lose.
