    • Hello, Following the submission of my defense, last night I received an email from DCBL indicating that the claimant intends to proceed with the claim (I've attached a screenshot of the email for reference) along with the N180 directions questionnaire. I'm unsure how they obtained my email, but I suspect it was through the courts' form when I completed the Acknowledgment of Service. This email almost slipped my attention. I have also today received a letter from court to state they have received my defense.  It appears they are requesting an online telephone hearing with the court. Could you please advise me on the necessary steps I should take at this point? Thank you for your assistance. Letter-Email 25-04-24.pdf N180 - Directions questionnaire (Small Claims Track).pdf
    • Default Amount £9237.88, all this started in 2006 Admitted debt £9075.65 Weightmans added £1515.01 immediately they became involved, no explanation The Statement shows when Marlin bought debt in May 2011 £10439.25 Their statements, not received until the SAR, are based on this. Cabot deducted £1515.01on their statements in January 2019, again did not find this out until SAR. Weightmans added in  2007 after the CH1 etc was confirmed by the court £741.50, made up of Process server fees, Court Fee (they tried for bankruptcy), Solicitors fee and Land Registry fee. Unspecfied Legal costs were added by Marlin in March 2015, again I did not know this until statements received with SAR I had been paying monthly, without exception until December 2018. I am minded to take the property charge, CH1 amount ,deduct all my payments and the subsequent fees, and request/demand a refund on the final payment made? I consistently disputed Weightmans balances, but they never responded. I also told Mortimer Clarke/Cabot that I disputed their amounts.  
    • Just follow this link and have read of some threads so your familiar with the process https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/347310-legal-n180-directions-questionnaire-small-claims-track/#comment-5178739
    • Sorry,  I'm not familiar with terminology.  Direction questionnaire is what I've seen online as next step. Witness statement: I haven't gone that far, that's why I put the question marks.

    • 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 psm, I have just read your thread and must congratulate you on your fabulous result and for your detailed report of what happened. My own court date isn't till Sept 6th and I have already submitted my bundle. Unfortunately I didn't find the witness statement you used and the one I used from the Court Bundle template did not mention the true cost to Abbey, in fact it was very short indeed compared to yours, does that mean I would not be able to use the same argument as you at the hearing? I did receive the same defence as you. Would be very grateful for any help at all!

Just re-submit with the new bundle and witness statement. Doesn't matter that you've already submitted one or that its late - if its a small claims hearing it'll be allowed.

Thank you so much psm and GaryH for your help and advice, can I just ask if I need to resubmit my whole bundle or just the additions that I missed out before as per the new witness statement- it isn't actually due in until the 23rd August I sent it in early in case abbey applied for a stay as I thought it may help my case if I had already submitted it.

Gary, Have your heard of any cases being stayed at Barnet. I know of one case on 6th Sept at Barnet but was just wondering what their stance was.

Cheers

Not a clue. Sorry, I thought your local court was Woolwich for some reason.

My friend delivered my bundle to Barnet for me today. He was told Business as usual! apparently some cases are being stayed and some arent according to the man on the desk. I'm not getting my hopes up too much though.

Thank you, I still can't quite believe it myself. Although all the credit should go to the deicated people who come up with the goods time and again on this site. Not forgeting the judge in my case who, for whatever reason, decided to give abbey a bloody nose, probably for being so contempteous of the little man and the court system. 0We could do with a few more like her. I was just along for the ride. Still waiting for the judges directions to drop on the mat. then I will feel happier. Abbey are so slippery you can never relax.

Just got back from work and on the mat was a rather thick A4 envelope from the Abbey. First thoughts, they have sent me the settlement in used notes, yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

My glee was short lived.

 

Ashurst on behalf of the Abbey have applied for another stay. They have sent me a copy of the N244 form Application Notice together with 32 pages of supporting documentation. This includes a copy of the litigation agreement between the OFT, RBS & FSA . A copy of the OFT claim form (the quality of the copy is so poor it is virtually illegable) The FAS directions in relation to the OFT case. A letter from the FOS dated 27/07/07 regarding the OFT test case.

Can they apply for another stay when the first one has been rules, am i being dramatic but dose'nt double jepody come into play?

I feel this might be significant for CAG, but it is a pain in the butt to me.

The funny thing is I haven't received the Directions from the Judge from the hearing on the 17th and I doubt very much that the Abbey have either. Anyway looks like I will have to dust off my spurs and prepare for the next episode YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAHHHH

A quick update. The Ashurst/Abbey application for a stay (mk2) has been before a judge today and I will be getting his/her decsion in the post shortly. Although I still have'nt received the judges directions from the hearing on the 17th. I am concerned that there is going to be a hearing for next week and I will be facing the full might of Ashurst. Surely they should have appeald the judges directions from the 17th. What happens if this next hearing goes against them, will they apply for another stay, and another, and another, the mind boggles

Hi PSM

 

I have just read your thread in its entirety and I am delighted to find that you didn't find the hearing too intimidating and that the Judge was sympathetic. I think the Abbey are grabbing at strawers to be honest and don't want to settle cases unless they have to however it only takes a couple of Judges to decline any stays to keep the revolution going! I hope they aren't granted a further stay in your case and that the Judge makes an order in your favour - I look forward to reading the next chapter in your case. My case is listed for 24 September together with my application to strike out but have like you received the standard letter seeking a stay. I understand from Leecabs that my local court aren't staying hearings so I am now preparing my bundle. Thanks for the useful advice as I can see me cutting and pasting quite a bit of your statement into mine!

 

Regards

Yep I have had a good read and am going to be working on my bundle this week. Was thinking of trying one more time to get Inga to make me an offer but I don't hold out much hope! I have already submitted an application to strike out to the Court which will be heard at the same time as the main hearing but she wasn't interested. Hey ho one last attempt will show the Court I tried to settle I guess.

Read Post#1 on the sticky "Court Hearing Important Info" by GaryH, print it out make notes and re write the questions he suggests you use. Listen carefully to the defense solicitor, if one attends to apply for a stay, make notes on what they say and try to think of challenges/questions in reply

Try to make notes on your objections and link them to references in your bundle. Hopefully point out that the defence solicitor has come ill prepared with no bundle and no copy of your bundle. Read other threads on this site regarding court appearances.
