    • a CCJ does not 'expire' thus does not need any application to a court to 'extend it'. if a CCJ has not been enforced within 6yrs, then it is very unlikely any court would grant such should the claimant return to court, of which the defendant would be advised -( unless they have moved and not informed the court & the claimant such) .  
    • I contacted them when it happened. The caretaker came over, looked at it, and walked off with the tree chunks of mortar. Next morning, they had a roofer come over and enter our garden to inspect it. Friday they were supposed to speak with a scaffolding company. I had to bring up liability and potentially calling the council to report 'an unsafe structure' before they even got moving. They know all about the wedding, the preparations, our patio contractors etc. but their attitude doesn't instill me with confidence. My fear is it will end up being a legal matter which is why I posted here to hopefully receive some advice. As far as I can see, the roof is in a state of disrepair, even if it's just the mortar breaking lose due to the size and weight of the chunks - and even from ground level it's visibly clear that multiple pieces have fallen over time (though never this size so we haven't been able to identify the issue till now - we thought it was rubble left in the garden by the previous owner). Currently, we can't use 25% of our garden due to the risk of more falling mortar which is more than just an inconvenience, we can't proceed with our contractors, and at worst, it will run up in several thousand of extra expenses for us, if we have to find a wedding venue. Even if they do have it fixed in time, and we have to settle for renting a marquee and floor for the marquee and furniture and whatnot it will be additional costs only due to the neighbour's roof.
    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments.

    • 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.

sorry to be a pest to everyone but since finding this site a week ago ive realised what a fight the banks are putting up !! i suppose i thought it would just be a walk in the park anyway does it matter if the mcol is for a lower amount than originally asked for? The letters i sent to the bank were for £5530.00 not including interest which when added made it more than £6000.00 but as im a student nurse i can not afford to pay the 250.00 costs of a mcol but if i only claim 5000.00 the cost is120.00 which i am hoping to be able to pay by the end of the month. glad to hear so many people have won their cases and good luck to all those who are still trying!!!

would be so grateful for all and any advice :eek:

Hi, Just read the post above, have you thought of breaking it up i.e... claim 2007- 2004 now then the rest at a later date? then you're not losing out?

Only problem is to cover yourself if you are claiming for a different amount i would suggest doing the lba again.

Its totally your decision but it gives you another few weeks and it covers you?

send the lba for half the amount now, give them 2 weeks before MCOL, then file for 1 half of your total. Then money permitting file the other at a later date.

Just keep the dates clear in the lba.

Hope that helps

Hi,

When youve done your mcol, post a copy of your schedule to mcol and your bank, with mcol send a cover letter asking it to be filed with your claim, remember to put your mcol ref number which you will get when the claim is done.

Any one know if it makes a difference if the account is in joint name and if u can make a mcol in joint name or does it have to be one? also if i ever do finally win this back and the cheque comes in joint name can i put it into a bank account in just my name as at the min he does not have one and he just uses mine?

Hi, You're not being thick...do'nt worry.

My claim is in joint names but all letters etc have been in my name only. mcol in my name and when you get your cheque as long as your name is on it it should be okay...if in doubt add his name on your acc if thats possible?

Thanks for the advice ive filled out my mcol just got to wait 2 weeks till i can afford to pay and then send it off. On the list of charges that u have to send to u need to put what there for or just the date and amount as my list just has this at the min but i can change it, and do u think they will settle out of court or do they like dragging people all the way?

Again thanks for all the help!!!:D

Here is the link to the thread as it was one of our guys.

But dont worry too much about it and carry on with your claim as normal.

 

Also this is just 1 which isnt clear cut, against the thousands of wins.

Hi has anyone else had a REALLY silly offer from alliance and leicester accompanied by a letter on how the courts are now looking at this in a different light? i did this morning my claim is for £5535.00 and they want to offer me £52.31 as this amount is apparantly the difference between a £12 charge and what they ve charges me!!!!! what a joke!!! Dont think im even going to lower myself to reply to that one but would be interesting to know if this is normal

Hi, I've not had this but the way they act doesnt surprise me, for every 1 person who gets this far.....dozens give up. Keep confidence in yourself and your claim.

Thanx Jen, Dont know if im excited or nervous!! but these little things keep playing with my nerves. The letter they sent was very well worded on how their solicitors have been told that judges will start looking at this the same as credit cards and therefore will not have to give a full refund. It 's enough to put any one off !!!

Hi Nicky, My letter was similar i.e bank charges were lawful and therefore un-claimable...the oft was talking about ccards so my claim was not realevant*(spelling???).

But i did have a nice chat with a&l today. Going to court was not even mentioned so hopefully we'll get a offer soon, but £52 is taking the p***!! They are acting like its not serious enough to them which could be a good thing???

1) Judgement by default

Hi Nicky, These are what to choose when A&L's time is up...If you click on either, it wont let you do anything till their 14 or 28 days are up.

Hope that helps
