Remember, the claim will proceed anyway even if you don’t respond. If the claim goes against you, it will be very difficult to make a counter claim as you didn’t respond to the initial small claim.   You may be unaware that you are the defendant in a small claims case that a Creditor has bought against you. When the small claims form arrives follow these initial steps:   1: Read the Form Carefully   The detail about the claim that is being bought against you will be in the ‘particulars of claim’ section. If this section isn't completed, or has the words ‘particulars of claim to follow’ take no action now and wait until you are sent details of the claim against you. You may want to consult a lawyer at this stage.   2: Respond in Time   It’s vitally important that you respond to the claim for you have been sent. Remember that there is a 19 day (5 +14) time limit on this to acknowledge the claim.You must submit before the 19 days are up, so post your response with plenty of time.If your intention is to defend the claim in full you get a further 14 days to submit your response ...so 33 days in total.   3: Talk to the Claimant   Just because a small claim has been bought against you and a claim form issued, this doesn’t mean you are not allowed to contact the claimant directly. In fact the court encourages you to try and settle the claim without the need for a court appearance. So, try and resolve your dispute directly with the claimant if you can.   Not Responding to a Small Claim   If you ignore the small claims form when it arrives this can have an adverse impact on your financial status. The court will continue with the small claims lawsuit that is being bought against you even in your absence as this is a legal requirement. When the small claim is processed you will be sent a bill showing the amount you owe and any additional costs. The small claims against you is a legal process that will be recorded on the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines. This information is used to check your credit, so could have a negative impact when you next apply for any credit. To avoid damaging your credit rating reply to your small claims docket as soon as you can.   How to Respond to Your Small Claims Form   When you received your form from the court you will also have been sent a response pack. In this pack you will see the option that are open to you. These include:   • A dispute claim form. You can use this form if you do not agree that you are liable for the small claim being bought against you and wish to submit a Defence. • Details about how to pay the amount being claimed from you. • Details about how to admit to part of the small claim against you, and how you can ask the claimant for more time to pay.   There are Two Types of Small Claims:   Fixed Amounts:   If the claim against you is for a fixed amount of money your response pack will contain three forms. Form N9 (acknowledgement of Service), form N9A (admission form) and N9B (defence and counterclaim form).   Unspecified Amounts:   If the amount being claimed is unspecified you will be sent forms N9 and N9C (admission form) and N9D (defence and counterclaim form). It is vital that you read the accompanying explanatory notes before choosing which form to send back.   Paying the Small Claim   If you want to make full payment of the amount being claimed against you this amount will be shown on the claim for you have been sent, and will also have details about where to send the money. Don’t forget, this must be done within the 14 day time limit or your case will proceed to the next stage.   In some instances you would like to pay, but need more time, you can give details about the delay you would like on form N9A, which should be in your response pack. It’s also a good idea to read leaflet EX309: The Defendant Admits by claim as this gives more details on this aspect of your case when fixed amounts of money are involved. Leaflet EX308 gives details of cases when unspecified amounts are being claimed against you.   Also please read forms EX326 and EX160A   How to Defend a Claim Against You   Disputed claims are handled by filling in the appropriate form from your response pack. You have three choices: Form N9, N9B or N9D. Read the note accompanying each form carefully to ensure you completely correctly. Pay special attention to the allegations raised on the form. If you don’t respond to each the court will assume you are admitting guilt.

Not that of the creditor or claimant. If you have requested information with them after the claim has been issued - or have entered into discussion with them and they say something like "We will put this on hold for a period of time". You cannot and must not ignore the timetable from the court.   This thread should serve as an example   http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?416202&p=4547677#post4547677   The OP in the case above was in communication with the CAG Vodafone rep. A claim was issued during this time. The Rep in good faith said he would ask the Claimant to put things on hold.... they did not.. the OP ignored advice from caggers to continue with the court timetable and did not submit a defence.

    • 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.

That sounds horrible Crasin. Hang in there though, there is no doubt about it, there main approach appears to be initimidation. How are you getting on with the council directly?

 

After my little problem with my C.Tax, I sent a letter of complaint to the council, and have now received a reply stating that my comments were taken on board, that they only use them as a last resort ( bullsh*t ), and that whilst they have advised the bailiff I have fully paid my liability order, they said the guy may still be calling to attempt to collect their fees!! ha ha..

 

We have been on a mini-lockdown for a couple of weeks now, but havent seen or heard from the bailiff at all.. not any correspondance. I am still keeping vilgilant, but in the mean time I intend to reply to the council stating I have no itention of allowing the bailiff access and therefore the fees will be passed back to the council in the hope they can confirm that I am now free and clear of bailiff hassles??

Hello everybody, my first posting on this forum....hope it helps us all!

I have had some dealings with Drakes Bailiffs only yesterday.

I've had two unpaid parking tickets due to my being away from UK most of the time ,yestarday a bully boy from Drakes has turned up in my absence and has clamped my car. The car was parked in my own private drive.

My neighbour allerted me by phone while I was out of London (woke me up actually) to tell me that my car is clamped and is about to be towed away! I then proceeded to talk to the bailiff (a certain Paul Hawker) who informed me that I owe him £933.00!!

Well, I had to give him my debit card details over the phone so he won't remove my car!

Imagine my surprise when checking with my bank whether the transaction has gone through to be informed that there is an additional £301.00 charged by the said Mr. Hawker, totally unauthorised by me!! It later transpired that someone has apparently tampered with the clamp and the cowboy charged me for it!!

He's posted a receipt through my letter box for the charge for the clamp that has been "cut off".

It gets better though...

I started researching on the Internet and I came across a thread somewhere that mentions that bailiffs must have a "special licence in order to clamp on a private land".

I called the organisation in question-the Security Industry Authority, and having run a check on Mr.Hawker it transpired that he doesn't have the said licence. Moreover, he was acting wholly illegally in clamping my car in my drive!!!! Now I am consulting a lawyer to take up the fight and sort them(Drakes) out. It looks like a wrapped up case.....or does it?

What do you think? I will be interested in your opinion,

Thanks

 

P.S. OF COURSE THE OVERCHARGING, CHARGES FOR LETTERS AND VISITS-ALL MADE UP. I GOT ONE LETTER IN ALL FROM DRAKES!!!

 

There certainly are - I'm one of them!

My god :o all that for a parking ticket?

 

There are some pretty clued up dudes on here who would be interested to hear about this.

 

I know you are contactin/have contacted a brief but there are steps you can take yourself.

 

Chrismc has done lots of research on this and am sure he will give you some pointers.

Of course there are lots of advice forums to read but there are some real life experience stories here who have taken them on/are taking them on armed with baliff busting facts.

 

No doubt you will get lots of replies on this one.

It doesnt come much worse than this !!

Hello everybody, my first posting on this forum....hope it helps us all!

I have had some dealings with Drakes Bailiffs only yesterday.

I've had two unpaid parking tickets due to my being away from UK most of the time ,yestarday a bully boy from Drakes has turned up in my absence and has clamped my car. The car was parked in my own private drive.

My neighbour allerted me by phone while I was out of London (woke me up actually) to tell me that my car is clamped and is about to be towed away! I then proceeded to talk to the bailiff (a certain Paul Hawker) who informed me that I owe him £933.00!!

Well, I had to give him my debit card details over the phone so he won't remove my car!

Imagine my surprise when checking with my bank whether the transaction has gone through to be informed that there is an additional £301.00 charged by the said Mr. Hawker, totally unauthorised by me!! It later transpired that someone has apparently tampered with the clamp and the cowboy charged me for it!!

He's posted a receipt through my letter box for the charge for the clamp that has been "cut off".

It gets better though...

I started researching on the Internet and I came across a thread somewhere that mentions that bailiffs must have a "special licence in order to clamp on a private land".

I called the organisation in question-the Security Industry Authority, and having run a check on Mr.Hawker it transpired that he doesn't have the said licence. Moreover, he was acting wholly illegally in clamping my car in my drive!!!! Now I am consulting a lawyer to take up the fight and sort them(Drakes) out. It looks like a wrapped up case.....or does it?

What do you think? I will be interested in your opinion,

Thanks

 

P.S. OF COURSE THE OVERCHARGING, CHARGES FOR LETTERS AND VISITS-ALL MADE UP. I GOT ONE LETTER IN ALL FROM DRAKES!!!

 

There certainly are - I'm one of them!

I got Equita bang to rights. Next is Drakes.

 

I am preparing some FAQ's - excessive work load has slowed me down these last couple of weeks, sorry BF. I will have them sorted asap.

Actually I came to realise some time ago that when the state abuses you and rips you off, it's actually better to avoid a direct confrontation. Let's just say I got my money back by other means :D

 

.....and I agree my friend! Maybe some small doses of Anarchy won't be so bad for this country! We are far too submissive it seems!

We are manipulated in outrageous ways!

If people really put their foot down, and demanded accountability and respect from their PUBLIC SERVANTS, we won't be in this mess, where a parking ticked will cost you £1000.00 in time! That's on top of paying highest premiums for driving your car in first place!

And don't even start me on Council Tax.....

What is amazing here tho is Ken has never been a man without followers......the media attention he has had over the years makes him more famous than our own bloody queen !!

The reason for that is because he has been so contraversial his reputation has stood him out loud from the rest ,his old title used to be a marxist........red Ken

he spoke out loud about thatcherism about capitalism about just about everything Ken did not believe in a peoples man if you werent a capitalist.

 

He was expelled from the labour party............but came back to haunt them by taking on the biggest cherry in UK mayorship but he ws put there because the people of London voted for him.

They knew of his history his arrogance and his beliefs.........like him or loath him he is in office...............becaise the people in LBC voted for him.

If he has now changed his spots its then the same people that voted for him must remember........Ken is not a man of the people...but a man of Ken alone

Sorry Elsi, looks like I am adding fuel to the fire....

Raging volcano more like....

Eventually I will emigrate, I just know it! If this country continues with its blatant disregard to it's citizens, what joy is there in living here, just to die a bitter old man, in front of the tv, with Coronation Street on?

Seriously though, bailiffs & sheriffs are tip of the iceberg and a result of successive administrations not wishing nor caring to do ANYTHING about faceless corporations messing ordinary folk up! Oh, and huge amout of GREED!!!

I sound like a lefty right now, but I am not, I promisse you! I am actually a bit of a capitalist, but as an employer I treat people fairly and as a consumer I demand the same!

Ordinary people MUST take a stand! I mean, if we expect Governments to help us...God help us! Just a short list of some of the recent history "upstanding" citizens (MPs) meant to rule us: John Prescott, Jeffrey Archer, J.Aitken, Blunkett, Tessa Jowell & hubby, Peter Mandelson,Mayor Ken (of course) and other beloved personalities....Please feel free to add more....(and sorry for drifting completely off course, but searching for the roots of the Evil...)

Prescott is my favourite though, he even looks like a bailiff!

I totally agree!

Ken reminds me of Prince Phillip, for putting his foot in the public cake quite spectacularly! And with a full knowledge of doing so, congratulating himself in the process!

Why can't this great City have a proper leader and represenatation for goodness sake!!!????

London needs a new mayor and a mayor thats in touch with its people.....I dont blame him for introducing the congestion charge.....London is a big place and whatever they can do they will never stop congestion.

I am from the North West and fortunate to be able to get home quite easy after working in Liverpool Manchester wales or Preston.

I have worked in Bucks Oxford Wiltshire Surrey and London itself.

The money was good but the travelling and queuing was far from

I remember leaving Oxford at 4 am in the morning to beat traffic and get to work in wimbledon for 8.00am..trouble is everyone else did the same so the roads still busy.

used to come home t weekends nd just sleep !!

 

nothing changed over the lasr 20 years except now we know we can claim our bank charges ..................if I had known this then I would have travelled forst class from Euton!

i have to pay a bailiff £239 by 20th July 2006 thing is i dont get paid until the 21st July 2006.

 

I spoke to my bank [ HSBC hmm] who said they will not honor the debit payment on 20th July by solo card to teh bailiffas ther will not be cleared funds in my account .Very rigid given that my wages will be paid into the bank the very next day as usual.

 

Now i am worried that if i call on 21st july to pay by debit card when my wages are in the bank that they will charge me more money for some sort of late payment or bailiff call out [eg dropping card through my letter box]

 

I offered to part pay last month but was advised that if i part pay this will incur more charges as a part payment triggers visits and stops time to pay.

 

I cant really afford to pay all this money in one go .

 

Any suggestions?

 

Surely they cannot insist on me defaulting by one day? I want to pay it and get them off my back ...

 

help..

You need to tell us more about this eg, what is the debt for, Council Tax etc, how old is it, have the Bailiffs been in your house, have you signed a walking possession and anything else of use, without that we cannot advise you correctly.

Its a TFL debt fo driving in a bus lane - no walking possession order, no bailiff visit yet [possibly after the 20th]

 

Ok if they do turn up, under NO circumstances let them in your house, no ,matter what they say or promise, once in you have no leverage at all!! Don't even open the door to them. Make sure you park your car behind locked gates on your drive or try and hide it somewhere until this is over.

 

If you have to pay up, see if you can pay it in 2 or 3 or more lumps. Who issued the original fine or whatever it is?? there are people on here who have more knowledege of traffic/parking legislation than me, but if it is legal and has to be paid what about sending off a letter to whoever issued the ticket/summons etc and send them a few post dated cheques, try and buy yourself some time, so as not to pay it all in one go.

 

Again do some searches on here for the same type of offence as you need to know what the law states on this, I have found some bits which may help.

 

What is the law for use of a bus lane?

 

Bus and tram lanes. These are shown by road markings and signs. You must not drive or stop in a tram lane or in a bus lane during its period of operation unless the signs indicate you may do so.

 

Parking Fines What can you be fined for?

Traffic Wardens still enforce all moving offences including driving in a bus lane during its hours of operation, unauthorised driving through the Clear Zone. Contravention of any moving offence is an automatic summons to court and not a fixed penalty notice, therefore the fine will vary according to the offence.

Any illegally parked vehicle could be removed, but the priorities are:-

 

 

 

Bus Lanes and Bus Stop Clearways

Disabled parking bays

Taxi bays

Loading bays

Main arterial routes into and out of the City

Any other street where illegal parking could block the access for emergency vehicles

 

Is any of the above relevant to you????
