    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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,

 

Dont know if anyone can help me but I am being sued by Barclaycard, I denied the case as it is being brought by HFO, on disputing the case their solicitors sent me a deed of assignment, which I've never had. So I then winged off a letter regarding civil proceedings which I found on here and gave them until the 30th May to provide the information required. They have written back saying that it will take there client 8 weeks to compile the information for some unknown reason, What do I do, Do I still report it to the court and ask for a direction or what?

 

Any help would be gratefully received.

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

hi DK, thanks for your reply

 

Haven't got a date yet just the notice, the letter I sen was as Followes;

 

I have received the Court claim filed by your Company. To enable me to file a defence and counter-claim, I require specific information regarding the account to be provided forthwith. Given that this matter is now the subject of legal proceedings, you are obliged to disclose under the Civil Procedure Rules, the information and documents detailed below. The information must be furnished by the 30th May 2007, which gives you ten days to provide what has been requested. If you fail to comply, this will be reported to the Court, a copy of this letter will be provided as evidence to the same and an Order enforcing your compliance will be sought.

 

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

a. A transcript of all transactions, including charges, fees, interest, repayments and payments and both the original amount of the loan and any repayments made to it the account.

b. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

c. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with Barclaycard.

d. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

e. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

f. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

g. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

h. A genuine copy of any deed of assignment, or proof that you have a legal right to this money.

i. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

j. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

 

3. Any other documents you seek to rely on in court.

4. A copy of your complaints procedure, as required by the Consumer Credit Act 2006.

5. Clarification of the date you acquired the debt, what organisation you acquired it from, their registered office, their company number (if any) and what legal title they had to this debt, and what credit license number they had at the time that the debt was purchased or entered into.

 

I will require this information within the next ten days. I must advise you that if the information is not forthcoming, it will be reported to the Court that you are trying to frustrate proceedings and denying me the opportunity to file a defence and counter claim.

Yours sincerely,

 

 

They are saying they cant get this information for eight weeks so do I inform the court?

 

 

if you are being sued you will already have a court date....is this the case?

 

what letter did you send? CCA request? if they have sent the deed then other bits like a signed etc credit agreement need to be provided too! before they can take any action

Ah... I remember that one. It's one of my letters:)

 

Are you sure that they have actually had filed a claim against you, it seems like they've just sent you a notice they intend to start action against you? Have you recieved an actual court claim stamped by the court?

 

If you've not even had a court claim from them, you've jumped the gun somewhat. LOL. I'd send the original creditor a CCA request with £1 P.O.:-D

 

Frankly, the chance that they will start a claim against you after sending that letter is unfortunatly quite slim:(

OK update,

 

Still have no date for listing, although have now had it moved to a court near to me. I have reported HFO to the court twice now for not complying with the civil procedure rule despite giving them more than the 8 weeks they asked for.

 

I have telephoned the court today, and they have told me that I need to complete a N244 with a fee to have the case dismissed.

 

I have just completed this form, and will be sending it tomorrow, the reason that I have given is as follows.

 

"The claimaints have failed to respond to the defendants request for information under the civil procedure rules, dated 20th

May 2007. The claimant replied on the 23rd May 2007 asking for an 8 week window in which to supply such information, this

has still not been received. In light that the claimaint is frustrating my ability to defend this claim along with possibly entering

a counter claim against the claimaint, this case should be dismissed."

 

Any further Ideas. The courts don't want to seem to get involved unless they are paid is this correct?

 

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to give.

Hi Everyone,

 

New Update,

 

I'm due in court tomorrow, although I have not received any of the information requested in my correspondence. The court have been most unhelpful so what do I need to take tomorrow in order to get this dismissed or adjourned.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, Thanks for your reply, I found out about the hearing just before Christmas, but what with one thing and another, and there has been no request for my defence yet, I didn't think the case would go ahead. Unfortunately the solicitors for barclaycard contacted me today to find out if I was going to court of which I said yes.

 

Any advice would be helpful

 

Thanks

Hi, Bracknellboy,

 

personally I would go to the hearing with the intention of trying to get the documents you want. You need them for your case. Rather than trying to win outright, discuss the importance of the statements- you intend to counter claim for charges - and the credit agreement.

 

Just sound reasonable, really.

 

Say to the judge that you intend to file a defence - or partially admit claim - when you have the info, but at the moment you have no record showing what you actually owe.

 

If the paperwork does appear tomorrow, ask for a adjournment "so you can consider the new information" and say you intend to amend your defence.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

thanks folks.

 

A further update, It's now 7:30am, and I have just received a pack of documents which is there claim sent to my home address. It does not however have any of the information I requested in my original letter, not only that but the statement of truth dated 07th January 2008 refers to payment made in november 2007, the printout and telephone conversation demonstrates that they only found out about the payments yesterday, small and insignificant point, but not very truthful ha.

 

Any ideas would be helpful be fore i have to go to the court.

 

Thanks

hi all again,

 

I attended court this afternoon, and a general adjournment was made with a stipulation that HFO had to provide the information under the civil proceedings request within eight weeks of the case would be struck out.

 

How does that sound?

Share on other sites

under the circumstances, due to us not having much time to prepare its a good result

 

now its a case of sitting back and waiting, once the last day of the eight weeks expires you need to be on the phone to the court asking for the case to be struck out, the court manager has the power to do this without referring this back to the judge

 

as i said its a result all the same
