    • Hi everyone,  out of the blue my husband yesterday received a call from the employee who lost the key the first time and asked to settle the bill plus court costs. Apparently the boss said that if he didn't pay he would be sacked. My husband asked for this in writing,  got it and payment followed. So we discontinued the claim and marked as settled. Apparently the employee who lost the keys the second time is paying for the other carpenter's bill plus court fees because he'd started court proceedings as well. So, all is solved. Thanks everyone!
    • With thanks. Updated defence.  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. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with Halifax PLC part of the Lloyds Group of Companies but do not recognise the specific account number referred to by Claimant and on which its claim relies. To enable clarification a sec78 request pursuant to the CCA1974 was made dated 11 May 2024. The Claimant provided various documents which appear to be incomplete with page numbers missing and incomplete Terms and Conditions. If this is a copy of the original agreement it appears to be unexecuted by the original creditor. 2. Paragraph 2 is noted. I do not recall receipt of a Default Notice which the Claimant refers to within its Particulars of Claim and on which its claim relies. A CPR 31.14 request was made dated 11 May 2024. To date the Claimant has not provided a copy. 3. Paragraph 3 is noted. Although I had not recalled a copy of the Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) I requested a further copy from the claimant which has since been provided in response to the CPR 31.14 request dated 11 May 2024. 4. Paragraph 4 is noted. It is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 6. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • "Testing the stability" ? I suspect the Tesla Map would have picked up that the car was being driven in a car park and the default safety settings required a shut down. Reassuring that Tesla have public safety built in, to try to stop drivers driving in a way that may be risky.
    • Wonder if your friends insurance premiums will be affected?  
    • A friends Tesla shut down for 10 minutes after he was 'testing the stability' in a car park and the info screen reported to him that the vehicle would shut down as it was been driven 'in a dangerous manner' or something similar. He had to sit and wait for it to start again.

    • 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 will have a proper look through my emails

I have a feeling this conversation was had on the 27th November on the phone as I remember calling them to log the complaint and then crying telling them I need them to sort me out a hire car

I am unable to use public transport due to disabilities and they completely ignored me and said they cant do that.

I asked them what can I do then as I am a disabled single mother with 2 children to get to school and they said it wasnt something they could help with!

If we haven't suggested before, I suggest that you send them a subject access request. It might produce some useful information concerning what they know about your full abilities/disabilities

Brilliant.

Start looking at high Court enforcement officer services

HCEO

As soon as you receive the judgement begin the enforcement procedure unless the judgement gives a certain amount of time to pay and that time has not been exceeded.

Please let us know when you get it.

When you look at HCEO sites, you will find that it costs about 60 quid or so to transfer your county court judgement to the high court. 

You will get that back on enforcement.

Also, check on the website to make sure that if they fail to enforce, you will not be charged any fee.

This is the normal arrangement nowadays but check and if necessary telephone the HCEO service

The business of transferring the county court judgement to the high Court is called transfer up service. This will almost always be undertaken by the HCEO service.

Make sure that you choose an HCEO company which will do this

Also I suggest that you send the finance company a subject access request straight away.

There will be interesting to see what kind of work they have done on this so called investigation

Of course don't refer to the judgement.

Simply make the statutory request.

Use our template as  the basis.

I have sent off the SAR.

I also have the CCJ in my hand today!!

It doesn't give a time for them to pay, says you must pay the claimant FORTHWITH...

I can ask the court bailiffs to enforce this by applying on the moneyclaim online service or I can go to the HighCourt but has to be a paper form to apply.

What is my next step?

Also I have the CCJ now but neither TCUK nor the Finance Company have accepted the rejection... they are still fighting me on it.

ok before I submit i was wondering are they able to enforce if the finance company hide at their Scotland address? 
Also it says claimant in person £161 is that correct? Ive done it via the sheriffs office link above

I think the best thing to do is to leave it entirely to the high court enforcement officers.

Have you gone onto their site and have you started the process?

To have then leave it to them.

And be aware that once the finance company suddenly realises that there is a judgement against them they will try to get a set aside. But at least they will have taken notice and we will help you on the next step

thats what im scared of.

im scared they will suddenly realise and get it set aside and i cant really afford to lose £161 fee if thats going to happen...

also there is no way they are going to help me even if they know there is a judgement.

they have already sent me a final response which says they are backing TCUK and their report which says the faults are serviceable items.... it says if im not happy to go to ombudsman.


Utterly ridiculous considering the car was not up to date on services, missed 3 services, that was the whole reason i made a complaint in the first place and look what happened to the car due to lack of maintenance!

Hardly my fault or responsibility!

First of all, if there is a set-aside application, you will argue that they should be responsible for their own costs because it was they who haven't reacted to the claim and any costs incurred as a result of that is their responsibility.
I expect that this would be a winning argument and they would have to bear that.

It's up to you whether you want to begin enforcing the judgement that if you don't then you have certainly lost your claim fee and frankly I think you will have lost the case completely.

I am sure that it is very difficult for you but I don't know what else to suggest.

I'm afraid that when you begin complaints procedures you either have to go all the way are you simply have to give up – and accept the loss and learn the lesson for next time.

Do I understand that you have the judgement that you haven't done anything about enforcing it yet?


 

Did you send them a subject access request?

yes, i literally received the judgement in the post today though so its only the first day i could do anything. 

I have applied via the sheriffs office as far as putting the online form in but have not yet attached payment to instruct them as i am worried about this whole scottish address thing...

I have put on the form that the companies house address is in london but having done some research i genuinely think this is just a mailbox.

i have also put the glasgow business address but i see they dont cover scotland so nobody will ever visit there to enforce.

I wonder if this is why they are ignoring the court, i wonder if they have got round this whole system by having a glasgow office? 

it says on the sheriffs page ........

Can you enforce judgments in Scotland?

No, Scotland has a different system.

This is the address on the judgement as you cannot file for a scottish address 

 

And secondary is:
The Skypark, 8 Elliot Square, Glasgow G3 8EP

The glasgow address is where they operate from

I'm afraid that we didn't understand that their offices are in Scotland.

You have give these people a ring tomorrow

SHERGROUP.COM

Introduction | When it comes to debt collection, the jurisdictional boundaries between different countries within the United Kingdom

of course, is it certain that their London address is simply a registration address with nobody there?

it is not 100% no but we had this conversation on the bottom of page 5. I asked on here which address to use as there are 2 addresses on all letters from them, the Glasgow one in the top right of letters and companies house registered address in London on the bottom. ... we tried to work out if it was an actual office and it didnt look good on google street view and trying to look it up online.

It might be a good idea to give them a ring tomorrow and asked them if they have offices in London with staff there or is it simply a registered address.

No need to disclose anything – but they might let you know. You could tell them that you want to give them a cheque that you don't want to trust it to the post because Royal mail is in such a mess at the moment. Something like that

WWW.INFORMDIRECT.CO.UK

Every UK company must have a registered office address. We look at what the registered office is and what the legal requirements are.

with what i have just read in mind, it appears they cannot say they didnt get it as thats just a post box etc as it states it HAS to be available to receive signed documents and letters from government authorities such as HMRC and I would expect Courts and Tribunals.
