      Striking out on SCT

      By jk2054 · Posted

      Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks

      Advise on debt I currently hold

      By MANUKI12742 · Posted

      I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Kelly. before you go running off after scanning these docs, I think that the time has come to wait for the OFT case, it is only 4 weeks, you are highly unlikely that you would get a date before the start of the test case, and IMO , unless you can show absolute severe financial hardship or a life limiting illness, it is unlikely that you are going to get he stay lifted, but I will ask around and come back.

I know lovvie but I had to see bits of it myself, seems to me that the judge hearing the cases is not minded to grant the stay and i have seen more dire cases than yours not granted. (with all due respect of course) :o

ok, Basically it states that all the issues are covered by the test case. The overriding objectives support a stay, the human rights are not breached and in any event there is no point in lifting the stay because the test case will be sooner than they can get a hearing. In any event any hardship would not be removed by lifting the stay as there was no guarantee they would payout and had every right to defend so the court would assume that they would defend to trial.

Hi Knelly

How are you and the knitting going.

 

It looks like your document is extremely similar to the Canterbury Judgement which was held in Aug on 4 hardship claims. The Civil Judge in these cases also picked up the fact that two of the claimaints had used an internet site for their skeleton argument. My case has now on hardship grounds been transferred to Central London CC and will be heard by Civil Judge Collins - he is a senior Judge and has requested a whole batch of cases to be transferred to his court which he will hear in bulk.

 

So far no date has been set and I have been left high and dry. My complaint to the FOS has gone extremely quiet.... no change there then. Abbey, do not feel that they even owe it to me to listen to my hardship grounds....so hun we are pretty much on hold untill after the test case as no Judge is going to make a decision now about these claims. Lets just hope that the test case is conclusive enough for us all to have our stays lifted at the end of January 08.

 

All Abbey have to do in my opinion is to give us a complete breakdown of our charges, this is what we have all been requesting since DAY 1, had they had done that many of these claims would have long been settled. They must of by now given this info to the OFT as I believe this was part of the condition for this test case. Unfortunately, this has not been published, I wonder if someone knows how to get hold of these documents from all the five banks concerned.

 

Keep your pecker up.

I think I summed it up well when I posted this in November.....

 

Basically it says...

 

Don't bother applying for a stay, you've all used the same templates from a website, let the OFT proceedings take their course and then wait for the appeal.:rolleyes:

 

And .......... as I told you...........

 

my distraction was far more interesting!;-) :-) :grin:

I had my application to lift my stay last week - what an ordeal I was up againt the Abbey barrister for a 45 minute hearing which then lasted 1.5 hours - it was very draining. I tried to put up a good fight, but at the end of the day it was the old boys act.

 

So now the only hope is the judgement goes in our favour. Justice Smith, seemed a decent enough during the test case as I went on a couple of occasions as I work on a Friday a few blocks away.

 

Speak to you soon,

I was just looking for your thread DS! You haven't updated it for ages.

 

Sounds like you had a hard time last week ~ but this week's judgement was good, although we've probably still got a long wait ahead!

 

I might even have to get the knitting out again!;)

I've had a letter from Abbey today! They've given me a nice little update on my case and told me that my case is still on hold!

 

Oh! and they thanked me for my patience!

Hiya Knelly

 

I have had a great result from Abbey, I wrote again with evidences of my financial hardship after the new waiver rules were introduced in July in fact I sent the letter on 9th August and last Friday I received a call from their legal dept, they agreed I was in financial difficulty and are transfering 65% of my claim to my account next week. This is £4,378.30 so hey, I am delighted, at least I know that the mortgage payments will be made this month.

 

I am willing to help help anyone in a similar position as I know without the help that I was given I would never have made it.

 

Also, the balance of my claim is preserved until after the test case as this offer does not predudice my claim and the balance will be determined after the OFT test case.

 

If you know of anyone who is in this situation ask them to contact me. It is not just Abbey that are paying out either, many of the banks are starting to look at genuine hardship cases.

 

Tuttsi xx

Well CF, as I don't want my thread moved for going 'off topic' I'll have to include an update of my claim, so, as you know, my claim remains stayed in court ~ and it continues to add interest as the days pass by!;)

 

 

 

 

 

The knitting was lots of small ones ~ because there wasn't much call for one great big one! :p

Hi Knelly

 

The appeals on the test case is due to be heard in about 4 weeks time so I understand.

 

In the meantime if you are suffering hardship I can help you claim from Abbey. I have received 65% of my claim and the rest is pending the conclusion of test case.

 

All the best DS xx

 

ps what happened to my scarf!

Just dusting off my thread ~ with a very long scarf :D

I think it must be yours DS!;)

 

 

I can't claim under the hardship rules ~ I consider myself to be suffering a deprivation but it's not hardship and it won't convince Abbey to consider my case any quicker!

I'll just have to carry on knitting! :)

Hi Knelly,

 

My scarf finished.... at long last.

 

Well the Appeals were heard yesterday and the OFT won. But the waiver on stays are still not being uplifted because the OFT have to access the charges for fairness. Also, the banks may take their case to the House of Lords - just to drag it out a little longer.

 

We are my dear getting a little closer.....
