    • No new development, I'm afraid. The last update I received was a letter from the court, advising that the case had been transferred to Croydon County Court.

    • Hi, I am aware there’s been few threads about this already but just wanted to confirm information on my case. I was with Village gym last year(2023) on initial 6 month usual contract they do, I lost my job and due to that I couldn’t afford to pay for gym nor I had any motivation to go to gym at that time so they sent me arc phone message in September 2023 that I owed them £140 so I paid them back on instalments in 2 months time.  Then I started receiving new years deals in December 2023 and I decided to give them a call but they never mentioned anything about 6 month contract or anything, only that it would be monthly rolling contract and I paid them for 2 months and then I realised both months they charged me £59 instead of £38 they offered me on the phone when I mentioned that I am still student, even though before I was paying £43 a month in mid 2023. I spoke to gym entrance lady and she said I should give a call to gym on the phone number so I did and whoever answered said they’ll pass my info to manager and he will give me a call back in 24 hours, of course no one called me back so I called again and they said same thing. And of course once again no one got in touch with me so I got tired of them charging me more than they should and decided to cancel my direct debit and stopped going there as I got new job with rotation shifts which is not good for me as I cannot visit gym after I finish at 10pm every second week.  And now in April I received arc message saying this :  Also they have my old flat address where I used to live. What is the  best thing to do for me please? Thank you!

    • 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.

Thanks banker and Rest on Sunday ( I like that!) Don't wish to hijack Pauls thread, but it does go to show and these remedies demonstrated above actually give us the tools to do exactly what is necessary to make sure things which we have seen banks and DCA's get up to are in fact actually true. We have to be sure that when they are presenting 'their' cases to swing the balance of probabilities their way and relying upon their 'professional standing much the same as when we used the word 'fiduciary' with the banks is all above board. That trust in their 'f' lasted about 18 months until we began to see through them.

 

Back to you Paul, thanks.

Nice one. Just been reading up on practice directions for CRO the hearing tomorrow.

Below is what i'm intending to rely on tomorrow, a skelly went off on Friday.

 

 

The Claimant refers to the Defendant’s application dated 17th July 2008 wherein it is stated that: The Defendant requests that a Civil Restraint Order be made against the Claimant pursuant to CPR 23.12 (b).

 

It is respectfully submitted that according to the practice directions which apply in these proceedings any application made pursuant to part 23 must specify which type of civil restraint order is sought, clearly the Defendant’s application does not. Accordingly, on this matter alone the application should be dismissed.

 

Furthermore, the Claimant can only assume that the Defendant seeks a limited civil restraint order. However, the practice directions explicitly state that: A limited civil restraint order may be made by a judge of any court where a party has made 2 or more applications which are totally without merit and where a statement of case or application is struck out or dismissed and is totally without merit, the court order must specify that fact.

 

The Claimant respectfully asks the court to dismiss the Defendant’s application on the basis that the requisite 2 or more has not been satisfied.

Re: todays hearing.

 

RBS were desperate to obtain the Civil Restraint Order against me and to seek their costs. However, bad news for RBS...the circuit judge dissmised the application.

Did you get your costs for a wasted application?

 

Maybe you should seek a Civil Restraint Order Restraint Order? :p

Excellent Paul & I take Car's point

 

I see where your coming from. Since i lifted the lid on their creative accounting i've had to fight off a charging order and a civil restraint order.

 

I think it potentialy telling that they refused to submit all my accounts (including the router) into court at the previous hearing....imo the judge should have adjourned and ordered the bank to comply with my CPR request, then it would have been game on.

The judge asked the bank's solicitor "why are you here" i nearly p***** myself, lol.

 

The bloody solicitor was there because he was getting paid. Unless he entered the wrong postcode in to his Sat Nav and just turned up at the Court hearing time out of coincidence.

 

The question that should have been asked was "what are we (Paul and the Judge) doing here?" - the answer to that is still unknown.

 

Until these Judges grow some balls and deal with these organisations in an effective and proper way, we'll continue to see these injustices going on. For example, what would have happened if you had made the application and wasted the Courts time? (Rhetorical question that doesn't need an answer...)

The problem is that creditors are claiming they have complied with the requests and are continuing their collection activity when they are still obviously in default. ...

 

The OFT claim it is acceptable to recreate an agreement from internal records in order to comply with a request for a true copy. I wonder if Francis Bennion had this in mind when drafting the Act.

 

 

Although the OFT say that it is ok in some circumstances to recreate the CCA, surely the bank actually needs a copy of the original to ensure that it is correct!

 

If the bank then goes on to request payment based on the reconstruction matching the original agreement and it is materially different, wouldn't the police / cps have a different name for that (beginning with f)

Not really.

 

They can reconstruct for the purposes of a s.77/s.78 request in the opinion of the OFT, but they need the original to enforce in Court.

 

They may fall foul of the CPUTR 2008 if they continue to pursue a debtor for the debt where an original agreement doesn't exist, IMHO.

I think that they are in danger of falling foul of the Fraud Act 2006 by recreating documents,

 

don't forget it is now an offence to lie on your CV now under the Fraud Act ;) , the Fraud Act creates hundreds of new offences and according to Halsburys this may fall within the remit of the act

 

so it is conceivable that by reconstructing the agreement where they do not have the original they may fall foul of this act

Not according to South Yorkshire Police.
