    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

yes they will want a recent letter or document are you any other benefits which you might have an update one for or give them a ring and ask them if they could send you a letter confirming your benefits it will mean waiting for a few

more days before filing your n1

So do I just wait now then? Does it mean I will have to go to court? The defence says stuff about their charges being ok (part of the contract etc) and about the fact that I have gone back further than 6 years too.

 

Does it mean it hasn't been stayed? Or does the stay happen later?

I've looked at some other threads. The one you posted said this -

 

10-08-2007--Defence received from Halifax

13-08-2007--Judgement Request sent

 

Do I do the judgement request too then? Should I send the defence to the court? I had a letter from the court today as well saying that the bank would be doing a defence, but they obviously did it very quickly, as I received both today.

yes i have had the acknowlegement of service from the court, plus a copy of the defence from halifax solicitors.

 

on the acknowlegement of service it says "this court orer has been made of the courts own initiative. if you object to it you must make an application to have it varied, stayed or set aside iwthin 7 days of receiving it." does that mean anything?

 

i cant understand why i should do nothing when i have received a letter from the court and a defence from solicitors. it feels like the ball's in my court as i have heard from both?

Today I've received a letter from the court saying my case is to be stayed, and reviewed by a district judge as soon as practicable after the 7th of March.

 

It says that I have the right to apply to lift the stay, specifying why the claim should not await the test case decision.

 

Could somebody tell me what to do next please?

I have written this for the hardship bit. Is it ok?

 

I am a single mother of two children. I cannot work because I suffer from agoraphobia, panic disorder and depression.

My only income is benefits. I receive no maintenance for my children.

I have more money going out that coming in each month, and am getting into debt. I try to run my bank account as well as I can, but with so little money coming in, it is inevitable that I will sometimes have failed direct debits and other unpaid items. Due to this, I am still receiving bank charges of £30 or £39 a go.

I am also in debt. I owe money to my gas and electric suppliers, my phone bill, another bank, as well as personal debts to my family and friends. I have got behind with nearly all my payments.

As my sole income is from benefits. Benefit payments are set to the minimum level to cover the basic requirements to live on. To allow the bank to continue to charge me these huge charges would cause extreme hardship and deprive me and my children of basic living essentials. In calculating the levels of benefit, the Government did not take into account the extravagent levels of bank charges.

Bank charges reflect a disproportionate burden on those on benefits particularly, as we have no way of boosting our income and limited access to credit to pay off previous charges. Thus once a charge has been applied the likelihood of further charges increases leading to a spiralling effect on our finances.

 

I found a post saying that I should send the n244 along with my witness statement to the bank's solicitors now, rather than straight to the court? Is that right? Should I send it to the solicitors and give them 7 days to respond before I send to the court?

 

So sorry for all the questions.

Probably worth a try jayne. They might offer to settle - although the halifax were very hard-nosed with me last week when I tried to reclaim £39 charge for being 79p short to pay my council tax, even though I paid £1 in that day and had to queue for bloody ages to pay it in:(.

 

I did get most of my misappropriated (is that word OK mods?) tax credit back from them earlier this year but they told me they would not refund any more until the test case, saying I had a legal claim against them?? I said I hadn't as they had refunded most of the charges but if they wanted me to make a claim for the outstanding charges (about £300 or so) just because they wouldn't refund me one £39 totally unreasonable charge then they were idiots.

BANK CHARGES

Nat West Bus Acct £1750 reclaim - WON

 

LTSB Bus Acct £1650 charges w/o against o/s balance - WON

 

Halifax Pers Acct £1650 charges taken from benefits - WON

 

Others

GE Money sec loan - ERC of £2.5K valid for 15 years - on standby

FirstPlus - missold PPI of £20K for friends - WON

And yes as you are on income support that qualifies you for hardship, it also means you dont need to pay for the court costs.
