    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step. It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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

can anyone please tell me if i can requested a CCA from a debt collection agency, the debt has been passed on for non payment of overdraft and my bank closed my account coz i couldn't afford to pay them back all at once.

the reason i ask is not because i refuse to pay it, more a fact of the collection agency is being awkward.

Yes, You want to make sure the are legally entitled to collect on the alledged debt, but I would also send a SAR to your bank to see if they have added any unlawful charges.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent :)

Sorry Lan01, but CCA DOESN'T cover bank accounts.

I do agree though that a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) should be sent to the bank and start the process of reclaiming charges.

While you are doing this send a DISPUTE notice to the DCA saying that this account is in Dispute with the original creditor and as such no action can be taken.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Hi all

Thanks for advice given,i spoke to a retired barrister last night who has now assured me that i can ask for a cca on the grounds that i had an agreed overdraft. i.e. they charged me monthly for using it.

 

The cost of borrowing £1000 for 365 days is £77.5 based on a rate of 7.75% EAR

This proves that credit is applied

Below is an extract from

 

http://www.lacors.gov.uk/lacors/upload/5883.DOC

 

1.1 What is covered by the s74 determination?

 

A determination under s74(3) was made by the OFT with effect from 1 February 1990. It applies to d-c agreements enabling the debtor to overdraw on a current account, under which the creditor is a ‘bank’ as defined in the Bankers’ Books Evidence Act 1879, provided that certain conditions are satisfied – see Q1.5.

 

A separate determination was made in respect of certain agreements connected with the death of a person.

 

Copies of the determinations may be obtained from the OFT.

 

Agreements covered by a s74(3) determination, and satisfying the relevant conditions, are exempt from most Part V rules including s61(1) on execution. However, the Agreements Regulations will apply to any document embodying such an agreement, and to any term expressed in writing – see Q1.2.

 

1.2 Are all bank overdrafts exempt?

 

The s74 determination in respect of bank overdrafts (see Q1.4) applies subject to the following conditions:

· the creditor must inform the OFT in writing of his general intention to enter into such agreements;

· the debtor must be informed, at or before the time an agreement is concluded, of the following:

o the credit limit (if any)

o the annual rate of interest and any charges applicable, and the conditions under which these may be varied

o the procedure for terminating the agreement;

· the above information must be confirmed in writing.

 

Furthermore, where a debtor overdraws a current account with the tacit agreement of the creditor, and the account remains overdrawn for more than three months, the creditor must inform the debtor in writing not later than seven days after the end of that period of the annual rate of interest and any charges applicable.

 

But unfortunately, i have no idea what the above exactly means, other than the CC act does cover bank overdrafts in some shape or form.

Many thanks for your input.

it is a complex matter that would most certainly fall in the debtor's favour.

 

if this matter was to reach court it would be a case that from the debtor's point of view that the bank placed the money into the account as a goodwill gesture.

if it was a borrowed sum then an agreement would take place.

I was/am in the same situation regarding a bank overdraft, i have since sent them a letter offering a monthly payment of £7, until such time i fully understand the relation with the CCA and overdrafts.

 

I included the following in my letter..

 

The commencement of legal proceedings now under such circumstances could be counter to the ‘Overriding Objectives’ of the new Civil Procedure Rules. You will be aware that the Overriding Objectives underpin everything the court does. Moreover, paragraph 4 of the Protocols Practice Direction states that in cases not covered by an approved pre−action protocol, the court will expect the parties “to act reasonably In trying to avoid the necessity for the start of court proceedings”.
I would rather offer them a small monthly fee, until i can sort myself out. I believe they can serve us up a CCJ at anytime (aslong as they have sent you/me a default notice) so hopefully my letter goes some way in stopping that, i also said in the letter i wouldnt be dealing with the debt agency anymore.

 

I dont know for a fact if this is the best way, but worth considering. I can pm you the whole letter if it would be any use to you.:)

I too am subscribing. I CCA'd a DCA who informed me that it didn't cover the debt I am disputing because it was an overdraft! I have found the info above very helpful..still trying to draft a letter to the DCA informing them of their mistake! Plus they did not return my £1.

  • 2 years later...

Sorry for bumping an old thread but this is really interesting. I'm wondering what to do myself now as I have a DCA chasing me for a student overdraft that I defaulted on in 2006. The overdraft itself was interest-free, but the amount that the DCA is asking me to pay now is MORE than the default amount so they have obviously charged interest.

 

Has anyone got a good template letter or any suggestions as to what I should write? I'm happy to offer a monthly payment to them, I'm just struggling with what to write.
