    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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 just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I took out a loan with Lombard about 10 years ago, after I divorced I couldn't afford the repayments so I called in Gregory Pennington and they helped for the next 7 or 8 years with affordable repayments. However I received a letter yesterday from a company called Pace Forward asking me to ring them. I rang them to find out what they wanted and they said I owed £9k which I immediately denied, I asked them to send me evidence and then put the phone down and immediately found this forum. From what I've read I think maybe the next course of action is to send them a CCA. However there also seems to be some other technical details that might be relevant - such as I think Lombard passed the debt to someone like BLS, and now Pace Forward have it and at no time have I ever been told about these changes of ownership - just before I forge ahead with a CCA, is there anything else I should consider? Many thanks in advance

Thanks Dave, I'm wondering if there's anything proactive I can do, if I wait I'm not convinced they'll do anything in the short term other than send out another letter asking me to phone them. In any case the CCA request would spell out exactly the documentation I am asking for and I suspect after such a long time and so many changes of ownership it may well not be forthcoming. I guess the worst case is that they send me a signed agreement but then I'd at least know where I stood. What do you think? It's just I feel rather helpless sitting around waiting for their next move icon9.gif

A lot of this stuff is like a waiting game, they will be in touch just wait for them and then take it from there.

It will all come out in the wash one way or another.

Thats what I would do, but you might want to get the CCA request off now thats your call no difference really,

 

Its your call, good luck

Do not call them. Put everything in writing and demand the same from them. Send them the following letter to get them to prove it:

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Reference no: 00000000000

 

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

I am/we are familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I/we would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my/our liability for the debt in question.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

PRINT do not sign the letter and send by recorded delivery. IF they reply, come back here for more advice. I would hold off on the CCA request.

 

Above all DO NOT PHONE THEM :)

Hi Clemma, many thanks for your kind advice. I'll compose the letter along the lines you suggest, the ball will most definitely be in their court, and I'll await their reply (confirmation of matter closed, hopefuly) and post here as soon as I get it icon12.gif

 

I know what you mean about not calling them, when I disputed the debt the guy on the phone said "yes you do owe £9k" and I got the feeling I should abort the call asap, and did so as soon as he told me he was passing me to the relevant department to discuss further - IF I ever call a DCA again I'll record the conversation...

I have recieved a letter and have no idea what it is about. I have spoken to someone at Pace Forward and they were extremely rude, so now I am really panicking. I am going to send off the letter posted above and hopefully that will make things a little clearer.

Ask them to prove you owe the debt.

hi all, well stone me, i did want you advised and sent off the letter, suitably edited, to rockwell debt collection agency. i sent it recorded delivery and i traced it through the post office and it was signed for on the 20th april 2009, ( interresting point when the lady at the post office tried to find post code for rockwell it didnt exsist), i also must add that when i had the letter for demand of payment with the bank payment slip at the bottom, i must say that it was of very poor quality. Anyway i have received a reply today 25th april 2009. This is its contents

I received a letter from these people addressed to my old address and to my old name. I have since married (2003) and moved out (2003) - my old address is my parents. I have opened the letter and they have asked me to call them on a personal matter and have said that even if I am not the person on the letter to contact them anyway in order to remove the address. I would rather my parents do not receive letters from these people and I cannot return to sender as the letter is opened. Would it be better to write to them with the reference number - cannot state that it is a debt as I do not know as yet - and ask them to re-write to my new address or should I cellotape up the envelope and return to sender.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Sounds like this company are setting the nets far and wide, they must have aquired a new disc of debts, names and addresses and are on a phishing excercise.

 

As others have said, do not ring these jokers, once on the phone (unless you record the call) you have no record of what is said or how it is said. DCA's are known for using bullyboy tactics over the phone to pressure you into making payments or acknowledging usually unenforceable debts.

 

Unenforceable debts are alleged debts that the DCA's have no documentation to back up their demands or they are chancing their arm on alleged debts that are statute barred.

 

Always ignore letters urging you to call and if you feel you must do something proactive, send the bemused letter.

 

Never sign anything with your normal signature, print your name. I would always head any correspondance with "I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEBT"

 

Keep originals of everything they send you and copies of everything you send them. Send everything recorded or special delivery then you have proof of postage and reciept and they can never use the "i didnt get that letter" defence.

 

With any luck, these jokers will get tired of the letter tennis before you and slink back under their rock, just be strong and take control of your life. There is nothing more empowering than telling them where to get off.

 

Even if they manage to cobble together some paperwork, post it up on here (minus any personal details) caggers can check it for you and confirm if it is enforceable or not.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

Dear all,

 

I have read all the info regarding the letters from Pace Forward as I recieved a letter from them on 13/09/10. The same standard letter as some of you guys got. I was in the process of sending them the standard letter as suggested then today I recieved a letter from Rockwell.

Within this letter they had a ref no and stated I owed £3200 to Tessera Portfolio Management with the original lender being Lloyds Black Horse. The letter stated I had ten days to pay the debt otherwise they will take immediate action.

I had a loan from Lloyds around 9yrs ago for £3000 having paid off around half of this. I then got into financial difficulties and defaulted on my payments. I haven't had any contact with anyone regarding this debt for around 4yrs.

Can anyone advise what the next course of action should be from me? Should I send Rockwell the letter?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I have just received a call from 'Pace Forum' on my work telephone number

The rude guy on the end of the phone wanted me to confirm address first which i declined, I said you have called me why should I give you info I dont know who you are. He then claimed he had my address and wanted last 3 digits of postcode - I gave him this and he then said that wasnt what he had on the system.

Asked for my home phone number and when i said I didn't use a landline at home named a random number which i obviously said wasnt mine

He was then very rude and said I know it's you I'll send out another letter. Wouldn't give me any more info as was a 'personal matter'

 

Any Advice on what I should do? Can't have idiots like this calling me at work it looks bad and unprofessional on me. What should I do?

 

Kind Regards in advance, Carl

If they ring you tell them to get lost, if the write do not reply until they send you something that you feel needs a reply. If you want to post the letter up without any personal details or any barcode they may put on letter.

 

The experts will then advise you.

Hi,

 

They have never wrote to me the address they named was the wrong one so I haven't had anything but this call today and It was completely out of the blue.

 

The address they names I lived at previously but don't have redirect or anything on so I don't know what to do?
