    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

Please accept my apologies if this is not the right forum.

I have read a few threads before posting but I would like to check according to my situation.

 

I have been caught shoplifting a £19 pounds make up item at tkmax.

 

Security stopped me at the entrance and took me into a room with 2 men and one lady.

They said they recorded me shoplifting and asked me if I admitted it. I said yes.

 

They asked me an identification and took my details and address.

I offered to pay the item and they refused.

They said that it was an offence and I could get arrested for that, so I thought the police would be coming.

 

They asked me to sign an admission of guilt which I did.

I asked to see the cctv record and they denied it.

They said they are not authorised to do that.

They said I would get a letter with a fine.

 

My questions are:

Could you please let me know the consequences of this?

 

Do I need to pay whatever amount they asked me to pay? as they did not show me the record I don't know what they can claim for.

 

I am worried about any negative consequences, they said this is not making a criminal record but I worry that my name will appear somewhere.

 

Finally, I am European,

I have been in the UK for 8 years and have no Criminal records.

 

Can this affect my future permanent residence ?

 

I know it's wrong and I am not trying to excuse myself, but I would like to get some advice as I am quite worried at the moment.

Very Many thanks for your help.

lastly they didn't I hope use the word FINE as they cant fine you.

you'll get scary letters from an organisation called RLP which you TOTALLY IGNORE.

 

 

if you look in this forum on the homepage you'll find 100's of threads just like yours

nothing ever came about on any of them.

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

 

DX has laid out exactly what the consequences will be (nothing) but I will go into a bit more detail.

 

 

RLP have (or state they have) a database of offenders. This is run by a separate company called Cireco. This database is full of 'alleged' shoplifters as none of the names have been taken to court for the costs they demand.

 

 

The ONLY time your name would appear in any official database is when the police became involved. They didn't. No name on the database. Simple as that. If ever you needed a visa to remain in the UK, should the form ask if you have a criminal record, you can truthfully state NO!.

 

 

Some security guards have very limited knowledge (if any at all) of civil law. This 'Fine' is nothing of the sort. You will get a demand from RLP for a contribution to their next holiday. You do not need to-ever. RLP can do nothing to you and if the pass the case on to a debt collector, they have even less power than RLP so the best policy is to ignore everything from RLP. There have been no court cases in the last 6 years so if they thought that they had a case, why not go for it?

 

 

 

On a final note. People may look at these threads and think we are helping shoplifters. That is way off mark. What we are trying to do is stop these companies chasing people for invoices that have no case in reality and although we help you, we still think that the best people to deal with store theft is the police.

 

 

 

Don't be so stupid in the future as then you will make us look silly for offering our time to help

Many thanks for your help.

 

I forgot to say that they made me sign a paper.

It is a 12 months banning notice where it says I was detained by theft.

They said they had me on camera and in the stress of the moment with 3 people in the room, I signed.

I was scared if i didn't sign they would call the police, as they said i could be arrested.

Does this change anything?

 

And yes they used the word FINE.several times.

 

I understand you are not supporting shoplifting.

Thank you so much again

Agree with DX again.

 

 

It may be a ploy that some security guards use the word 'fine' to misleadingly imply that it is a statutory penalty. Nothing of the sort. A 12 month ban is nothing to worry about either. Just stay away.

 

 

When you get the letters, read them two or three time so that you understand that any threats made on them are nothing of the sort. I particularly like it when a debt collector sends a letter stating that they are chasing an 'undisputed charge'. DUH! If it wasn't disputed, why would they have the case?

Good morning.

I was trying to post a comment in my previous post of September 2018, but I can't find how to do that.

I was caught shoplifting at tkmax a 12 pound item.

 

No police was involved, I was taken to security and I had a 12 months' ban from the store and some RLP letters which I ignored as I was advised.

 

My worry now is that I am starting a new Job for what a DBS has been requested. ( i never had a similar issue in the past, nor a DBS check requested, but,,)

 

I know you already mentioned that if police was not involved that would never show up in a DBS check.

However I am panicking a bit and as you know DBS takes a while to come back, and I am starting to panic. It is a charity related to children, although I think they have requested an standard DBS.

 

Could you please confirm that if police was not called, that incident will not show up in my DBS check?

 

Thank you very much for your patience. I had never been involved in a similar incident before, nor I am planning to do so, but I am quite anxious about this. 

I learnt my lesson though.

 

Many thanks again

There is see no reason why any information relating to this incident should be revealed to anyone.

You sound as if you had a real fright and so that much was probably deserved. I hope you get the new position you are applying for and you show a great example to the kids who will look up to you.

Good luck

Yes, absolutely deserved, you are right. I won't cross my mind again, be sure about that.

I won't be working directly with children by any means but in an admin post.

Thank you very much for reassuring.

All the best

Hello

In 2018 I was stopped at a shop for an unpaid item under £20. It was a scary moment with security and it took me some time to move past that and is still haunting me. Police were never called but I did get the RPL letters.

 

I am now applying for my citizenship and it concerns me that this might come up somehow. I had DBS checks done after 2018 and it was always ok, but I am concerned about the checks for my application.

 

Can anyone tell me if this might come up at any point?

Could this compromise my citizenship?

 

I have  been here for 13 years, I pay my taxes and I am involved with my community.

This is the only concern I have.

 

MANY MANY THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
