    • 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.

Hi everyone, thanks for the messages, it gives us all confidence to continue into the scary world of bailiffs and warrants. I tried to request a warrant online just now but made an error with the amount and had to contact the court to block it. I can't request online now but have filled in form N323 and am just off to the post office. I'll keep you informed.

Ok, what will probably happen is that Barclays will contact you to say that they want to apply for a set-aside, and that they will pay you in full as long as you don't object to it.

 

Be aware that objecting to the set-aside would cause delays and that a judge would be extremely likely to grant it and set a date for a proper hearing a few weeks down the line. Then Barclays would settle a few days before that hearing. That certainly has been their modus operandi for a while.

 

Be ready for a phone call, and make sure they are aware you will only call off the bailiffs once settlement has reached you. Don't forget to add your warrant fee to the total they have to repay, if not already in the total figure.

Well our claim has now been transferred to Leicester Crown Court as this is closer to the defendant's address (I used their Leicester customer services address from which all their correspondence has been sent). The warrant has been sent to the court so we'll just sit tight and wait now. Still no phone call from Barclays offering to settle so we'll have to see what they say when the bailiffs call round.

Hi Bookworm, I'm just waiting for the phone to ring but it seems Barclays are stalling for some reason. Wish they'd hurry up and get it over with, our claim's been going on for months and months. But, like you say, the surprise will be worth it in the end.

Still not heard from Barclays regarding the judgment against them. I've just contacted the court but they haven't received the paperwork for the warrant yet and they said it would probably be a couple of weeks before the bailiffs go in. Could someone please advise if I should contact Barclays (I've got 2 numbers 020 7116 4523 / 5634) to let them know that the judgment's been issued? Just thought it might hurry them up into settling. Thanks.

Thanks, Crispdust. I'm just getting anxious and want the whole thing finished with. The paperwork for the warrant should be at Leicester Court now but I've been told it could take 2 weeks for the bailiffs to go in. Do claims normally go this far? I expected Barclays to settle before now to be honest.

Thanks, Mr Rob. Good luck with your claim too. Let me know how you get on. I've just emailed Leicester Court to make sure they've received the warrant paperwork, as soon as they get back to me I'll update my thread.

Hi everyone. The warrant request has now been received by Leicester County Court although they've advised me that it will take a couple of days to process before the bailiffs are contacted. Can't wait hee hee!! Strange that the judgment's been issued, bailiffs are on their way but still no call from Barclays offering settlement.

Thanks, Laineybelle. I'm beginning to think I must be invisible or something as I've not heard a peep out of Barclays yet. I'm going to call the Court tomorrow to see if they've issued the warrant as they said it would take a couple of days. Then they send Barclays a letter informing them of the imminent arrival of the bailiffs apparently. Maybe then I'll have the long-awaited phone call. Like you, I wish I could be a fly on the wall when the bailiffs turn up hee hee.

Keeping you updated, I've just heard from the Court that the warrant was issued yesterday and passed to the bailiffs. Still no phone call from Barclays so let's see what happens when they get the letter from the bailiffs advising them of their visit. Surely the much anticipated phone call from Barclays offering complete settlement can't be far off now hee hee!

Just a quick reminder to everyone to use the HO address at London on your claim. I used the Customer Services, Leicester LE87 2BB now the bailiffs can't find them. We tried a dirty trick (it's against Barclays so it's not that bad) and rang the Customer Services Leics number and said we had a parcel to deliver to them but we couldn't find them. They were adamant they wouldn't give us their location and said we'd have to take the (imaginary) parcel to any branch in Leicester and they'd collect it from there. Strange eh? Anyway they won't get away that easy. The bailiffs have said that if we let them know the address of any Barclays branch in Leicester they'll happily call round soon. I've also just managed to find a map of the Customer Services location on 192.com and so will send this to the bailiffs too. We'll get em in the end!

Barclays may have slipped up - they are VERY busy at the moment.

Not your problem though.

When you ahve a date for baliffs to do their stuff, give Barclays a call and see if they want to avoid embaressment and splash across the papers. ( and add on some extra "expenses" for the privilige... :)

Keep in touch with the baliffs. They will appreciate settlement before they go in.

Do you think I could get a job at the bailiffs in time to be involved in the Baclay's job?!?! How good would that be, taking a judgement into HQ and collecting a wad of cash!!!!!

 

Its good to know Barclay's are so busy they have let this one slip! Good luck Keriat!! Extra kudos for the 'secret' address find on 192! Could you ask the bailiffs to film it?!!

It's my money...
