    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   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 had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore 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 and: (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. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. 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.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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 All,

 

I'm quite a way down the line with Barclays. I've been sent the AQ and I'm trying to complete it. I'm not sure how much information I should include in the 'Other information' section.

 

Should I:

 

1)Just use the templete located here?: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/11644-allocation-questionnaires-guide-completion.html

( my claim is less than £5000)

 

2) send a copy of the schedule of charges? ( I stared this claim on-line and when I requested judgment a defence was entered some hours later!) now it's been moved to my local court.

 

3)make any staement relating to directions?

 

thanks folks

grand thanks. sent my AQ on wednesday and am now waiting with baited breath.

 

heard a whisper on the old email that Natwest are telling their staff that the Banks won't pay out because the government are going to change the law which will mean they won't have to. Sounds like propoganda to me.

 

Anyone heard anything?

Hi All,

 

Posted my AQ last week (wednesday).

 

I've got a few questions about this and the coming stages.

 

1) I'm still wating for a reply to my AQ, how long does it take to get a reply from the courts to know whether they have allocated to small claims and have agreed my draft directions?

 

2)Should I ring the court to check they got it?

 

3)Is it too early to start getting my court bundle ready?

 

4)Is it worth ringing the solicitor that drew up the defence to see if they will settle?

 

It'll only be a week tomorrow that I posted it but I'm sooooooooo anxious about the whole thing!

 

Many thanks for any advice offered.

Hi BAT,

 

1/ If you want to check on anything feel free to phone the courts they will be helpful.

 

2/ Never too early to start on the bundle but depending on how busy the courts are you migh have to wait a bit for a date.

 

3/ I personally don't see any point in contacting the defendant for a settlement till you have at least got the court date.

 

Only a week is not long, have a cup of tea or three (best keep off the coffee i fear) and study what will happen next.

 

Best of Luck

Thanks BB.

 

One last thing. My claim is for just under £5K - or was at the time of submission to MCOL. I figure with interest it'll push it over the edge - will this effect allocation - what if they allocate to small claims and then I send my court bundle with a claim for 6-7K?

 

Cheers

Hi BAT,

 

As far as I know the track will be dictated by the value of the amount claimed prior to interest being added on.

 

I wouldn't fear a track higher thas small claims as disclosure rules will make the banks less likely (if that were possible) to step inside the court.

You were spot on BB. Just spoke to the lovely people at Bedford County Court who confirmed receipt of my AQ (I wrote a cheque for the AQ payment from my Barclays account and interestingly it's not been processed yet!).

 

They've advised once the last date for filing passes (with or without Barclays filing) they'll pass to the Judge for track allocation. The court date could be two to three months after that. Would be nice to think that I'll get my money before my birthday end of May.

 

At least I can go drink coffee again :-)

Ok Hombres,

 

I've been waiting for a court date having sent my AQ nearly two weeks ago now. Just got a letter from the court:

 

"1. Unless by 28 February the defendant files a completed Allocation Questionaire the defence and any counterclaim shall be struck out without further order.

 

 

Dated 21 March 2007"

 

 

AQ closing date was 18 March

 

Surely this is a typo?

Anybody had a situation like this? What happens now?

 

Cheers .

Hi BAT,

 

As Dickeggsy said, me thinks you should be talking to the courts as soon as you can today.

 

Hope it doesn't cause any delays

Thanks both.

 

I spoke to the court yesterday:

 

'twas indeed a typo - they've told me they'll send an ammendment note to Barclays to correct the date to 28th March instead. I've asked for a copy as well. So no delays there then.

 

I'm feeling quite confident about the whole thing now. The very fact that the judge ruled that Barclays should submit or be struck means they didn't submit by the AQ closing date. I wonder if they'll bother to do it by the 28th. Slightly miffed that despite having a deadline the Judge still allowed them an extra 10 days tho'

Hi BAT

 

Can understand your miffdom, but its better to let them have the extra time, rather than getting a judgement by default followed by a set aside and then more delay. Just my opinion mind.

 

Fingers crossed for a swift resolution

More news:

 

Despite the promises from the court of an ammendment it never materialised.

 

I finally got round to ringing the court today to find out what happened to the ammendment letter and to see if Barclays had filing their AQ and, guess what..........

 

No ammendment letter was sent out and Barclays AQ was accepted on the 26th March - 8 days after the closing date. The Case has now beeen referred to the Judge for Directions and it should be ' a few weeks' for a court date.

 

Time to start getting the court bundle together.

 

The timing of this couldn't be worse - Just found out I've got to interview for my own job in the next few weeks - S*ds law it'll clash! Ah well head down and get on with it is the only answer!

Hi BB,

 

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.

 

No news on the bank charges front. Still waiting for the court to write to me regarding directions and acourt date - I guess everything slows down in the run up to the easter weekend.

 

How long do you reckon I should leave it before contacting the court to chase it up?

 

On a happier note - the person that was going to be the other candidate has told me they don't want the job, so it looks like I'll just be 'slotted in' (fnar fnar) without interview.

 

Take care dude(ette?)

Hi BAT,

 

They say no news is good news, don't worry the court will advise soon, depennds on how busy they are, and as you are on such good terms with them these days its no harm in having a chat and getting an update from them.

 

Good news on the workfront, see all the stressful situations are falling away.

 

Let us know what hapens with the coure conversations.

Well BB, I did just that and those kindly people at Bedford County Court came up trumps again. There should be a letter on my doormat in the next 10 days or so with a court date "sometime in May". I enquired whether it would be for a directions hearing or the real thing and the court clerk seemed to think that it would be the real thing but wouldn't commit, said that the letter would contain all I needed to know. - Such anticipation!

 

Any one else got Bedford County court and at the same (ish) stage as me?

Latest update.

 

I've been away for a few days and came back to find a letter from county court stating that I've been given a date for an allocation hearing.

 

" The court needs to identify whether this claim is suitable for hearing as a fast track."

 

there's a covering letter which basically says that there's a whole bunch of us and we've all been given the same date and time because the issues are the same.

 

This could be interesting.....................

Hi BAT,

 

Seems to be on the final straight for you on this one so as ever fingers crossed for you.

 

When mine was going through I set up a thread looking forpeople with hearings same day but this was in Mercantile Court, so posted in the Merc Forum. Not sure if it will help you but might be worth posting a new thread in Barclays saying "Bradford (was it) Hearing on 17th May, anyone else there.

 

I shall keep an eye out and will wait patiently,

 

Best Wishes

 

BB
