    • yes they mostly would be enforceable, but that wasnt the point. even if they get a CCJ the very worst they could have done is get a restriction k which is useless to them. doesnt hurt anything. the CCJ would remain on file for 6yrs yes, but then gone same as a DN. the rest k charge does not show at all. and even so, the idea was to get your debts issued a default notice ASAP, them RESUME payments.. the advise is NOT conflicting, just you don't read things properly or understand.  oh well. dx
    • This is the dilemma I had then and still have it. The bit that stopped me was the post 2015 comments about them being enforceable now in most instances which I feel hasn’t been answered unless I am missing something. the bonus I guess is not all credit agreements now will be chasing me so less people chasing me down so to speak. this is the problem as there is conflicting messaging out there it is hard to plan a strategic way forward 
    • In 2017 my wife was given PIP and I finally, officially, became her carer. In 2019 she was reviewed and we were told it would be done by phone to make it easier for her as she has mobility issues and anxiety. The review was very simple, Has anything changed? No, ok, we'll stay as you are then. In 2022 a second review, this time by phone again but with an awkward given at the end for 5 years. Today, we got a new review letter (I know wait lists are bad, but I dont think the wait will take til 2027 for a decision). We're a bit confused because it's a letter, not a phone call as before. The form is just questions that ask "has anything changed" Now, since 2017, nothing has changed except we had our home adapted via disability grant. This was noted in the phone calls. So we should really write that nothing has changed in the last 2 years. The adaptations have been mentioned in both previous phone reviews, but not in writing so I guess we should bring it up. But we feel that they want us to explain everything as if it were a new claim again... And are worried if we miss something in the original claim or the phone calls she will risk losing part of the award (a 2 point swing could be really bad) It does just say "has anything changed?" But in dealing with ESA prior to getting PIP, answering the question asked "has your condition worsened or improved" at a review process with a simple "no, I'm still the same" somehow led to ESA ending and needing appeal. So just want a bit of guidance. How much detail is needed? Is minimal ok? Or should we be blunt with the fact nothing has changed, and bullet point the things she struggles with in each section?   I know the obvious thing is to just explain it all,but over 10 years the sheer amount of times the poor woman has had ESA or PIP stopped/refused just because something was missed out in their report, or they felt it meant a new claim should be made, or that they judged her healthy because we missed a tiny thing in our forms. During COVID it finally seemed like it was all just going to be smooth, especially with the phone reviews and the 5 year reward, but here we are. We just want to make sure we have the least chance to trip ourselves up, but making sure we have what is expected if you get me? I wish I still had a copy of the forms from 2017, because I could just verbatim copy them and add in about the adaptation, but (ironically) we lost our photocopies we kept of them when the house was being adapted
    • might of been better to have got them all defaulted 2yrs ago as we carefully explained before then you'd already be 1/3rd there and your current issue would not be one.    
    • No doubt the hotel will have security cameras on the floor you were staying to confirm or deny the allegation??   The only compensation you will probably get, which will be discretionary as a goodwill gesture, will be a credit voucher for the entire hotel group. Very much doubt anything more than that as you have not substantiated, the hotel committed the transgression

    • 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.

Well, today I received a copy of the default notice they sent to the bank. it was served on 10th may. I don't know how long lloyds suppossedly have to pay or apply to the courts for a stay? Im not sure where to go from here as I have had conflicting advice.

Thanks for that, looks like il have to wait and see. Il Give lloyds 10 days to apply for a stay, if they don't, write and ask for my money, if nothing happens-get the bailiffs involved. Iv'e seen a really good template somewhere on writing to the courts in regards to getting a stay lifted.

At the risk of hijacking this thread further, I would suggest that you do not wait another moment.

 

Write to Lloyds with the letter in that link I posted and inform them that you have judgment in default and that you will file for a warrant of execution in seven days unless you receive the full amount of your claim, plus costs and interest to date.

 

Then, make sure you file your N323 once the deadline has passed. They may file for a set aside or a stay of execution, but no matter what, if you set a deadline, then stick to it. They have had plenty of time to pay you and they have the money, do not let them delay any further.

 

You have to take charge of your claim, you must drive this forward and do what is necessary to get paid, nobody is going to do it for you, least of all Lloyds or their solicitors.

Ok to clarify,

 

Hagen, that letter telling them they have 7 days, i did ages go to them, and before i actually sent off for Judgement.

 

What car2 and i both have are the copies of the judgement sent to Lloyds (correct me if i'm wrong car2). nothing more. i have no other forms or correspondence.. will i only get these forms once the 30 days are up?

 

I'm starting to think nothing will ever happen.. :(

I do appologise.. i will send the same letter, just stating the 7 days before i issue a warant for execution.

 

Wont they just laugh that off? My court told me they have 30 days to respond to the initial Judgement so why would they within 7 days do anythign if legally they have a bit more..

 

Sorry so confused!

On my letter from the courts, it doesn't say how long the banks have to reply, do you think the banks know?? (i know that sounds like a stupid question lol) of course they probably do!

This whole situation is so so confusing, did your court tell you which process to follow and about set asides and so on?

Caroline, ACB The way I see it is if you write to them asking for the money and you can prove you have done this it will either prompt them to act or you will get paid. I think the judge will be less inclined to grant a set aside if he can see you have made attempts to resolve the issue and they try to file at the last minute

Getting judgment is only part of the story - you have to collect, you have to get paid.

 

I agree with what is said above, if you can show that you have done everything possible to get this resolved then the Court is less likely to grant a set aside or stay of execution, should Lloyds attempt any further delays.

 

This is why a default judgment is not always in your best interests as a claimant, as it does not mean that you have won, far from it.

Ok, I got bored and have filed for a warrant of excecution on Friday, that was 2 weeks after I had filed for a judgement by default. I am working on the principle that they wouldn't have written to me if it had been the other way round. If they now apply for a stay then the case will ahve to be transferred to Lincoln Court ( unlucky for Lloyds) so the stay stands less chance of being granted I hope.

 

Would be interesting to know how many people this is happening to now.

Hi ACB, it would be usefull for there to be a collecting point for us, think the best way is to keep an eye on eachothers threads by subscribing and be on the lookout for others. I did think about starting a thread in the general section but I don't really know what it would achieve. Besides, come the 1st july i'll be in the country's biggest subgroup (smokers) and I don't fancy joining any more this year ;)

You may work on whatever principle you wish, but you should be aware that the Court will not care about your principles and if Lloyds apply to stay the warrant, you will have lost your money and it is very likely that you will have to attend a set aside hearing, which may take several months.

 

This is a game and the banks and their solicitors know the rules - you should learn them and play by them too. Had you written to them and forewarned them of your intention to file a warrant of execution, there would be less of a chance that it would get granted.

 

It may appear to be madness, to inform the defendant of your every step, before you take it, but that is the way this game is played - sneak attacks, ambushes and surprises are simply not permitted.

 

It would not be too much of a stretch to suggest that the banks are deliberately allowing default judgments and warrants of execution to be filed, only to object, have the warrant stayed and then forcing the claimants to wait for set aside hearings, that can take months and months due to the congestion now being experienced by the courts, just in the hope that people will drop out of the claims process.

 

Of course, it is equally likely that they are just utterly incompetent and have not dedicated the resource correctly and intelligently and now are caught out - but the end result for you is the same and could mean some serious delays.

So why is it that the banks can do this to us, but if we had the bailiffs round- it's tough luck and we wave goodbye to our telly's????? It's so unjust, I don't know why they are allowed to get away with it and I don't know why the judges are not giving the banks a good telling off for wasting time!!

Sorry rant over! lol The banks just make me so angry....

The Judges are Caroline - BBC NEWS | Business | Judge warns 'unreasonable' banks

 

The point is, the courts are utterly objective and a default judgment does not mean that the court agrees with either party, merely that one of them has defaulted - and, particularly in civil litigation, the defaulting party may be permitted to rectify that default.

 

It may not seem like it, but the truth is there are many opportunities to prevent goods being seized by bailiffs should you find yourself in that unfortunate predicament.

I never did actually see what they had sent you, so I am unable to comment on any specifics.

 

However, if you apply for a warrant of execution in order to enforce your judgment and in particular if the judgment was obtained by default, then there is a very good chance that the warrant will get stayed and the judgment set aside.

 

Without repeating what I have already typed, you send that letter as it is part of the game. We can predict that they may apply for a stay of execution and follow that with a application to set aside any judgment. So, in anticipation of this, we write that letter giving them seven days to pay, already knowing that in all probability that they will not. What this does is strengthen your argument should you have to attend a hearing to argue whether or not the default judgment should be set aside.

 

Send that letter and if, in seven days, you have not been paid in full, then you file your N323 and apply to enforce the judgment.

 

If your claim is over £600 (and if over £5000 then you have to) you may wish to file a writ of fieri facias, but this is more complex and expensive - however, let me know and we can advise further.

Seconded, at least the courts are recognising that the banks and their lawyers are playing a game and are becoming equally as frustrated as we are with their abuse of the process. Damn good link mate! :D

Hi Hagen,

 

The letter i received is the same as car got, a duplicate of what is sent to the defendant telling them i've applied for judgement in defauly nothing more.

 

I keep forgetting to bring hte letter in but it doesnt say anything more than it being a copy of what i sent to the courts.. i'll try remember tonight

 

great.. i'll be sending off my letter today and will wait the 7 days. yes i'm claiming around £1200. What is writ of fieri facias?

 

over the last 6 months i have around £4/500 to claim again too out of interest.. dreading having to go over all this again. :(

 

Thanks again hagen.

Does it say:-

 

To the defendant

 

You have not replied to the claim form.

 

It is therefore ordered that you must pay the claimant £xxx.xx for debt (and interest to date of judgement) and £xxx.xx For costs

 

You must pay the claimant a total of £xxxx.xx by date

 

 

Warning. if you ignore this order goods may be removed and sold etc. etc.
