    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

As some of you may know already, I seem to be hitting a nerve with certain debt collection agencies (ie Lowell) by my posting links to CAG on whocallsme.com.

 

Therefore, it seems the only logical step is - keep making people aware.

 

I've given regular plugs for CAG on my 'dcamaggots' Youtube clips, with some success, but intend to do the same on whocallsme, as I believe that there are still not nearly enough people who know their legal rights are regularly being abused by bailiffs or debt collection agencies.

 

Therefore, it's high time that as many people as possible are made aware of this site and the help it can offer.

 

So, what I'm looking for are as many phone numbers that these companies use as humanly possible. For instance, Lowell mainly use 01133086000, but do use several others. I'm hoping to create CAG links to every single number that is used by a collection agency or bailiff firm. Reasoning for this is because whocallsme appears to be the main site used to check on phone numbers.

 

I'm well aware that there's CAG links on many numbers already.

 

There is nothing malicious or illegal about this - whocallsme is there to inform the public about the companies that use these numbers, and what the public's experience of this company is like.

 

I already have drawn up a short template that I will post on each number, and I think that this is a good way of attracting more profile to CAG and offering support to those who may not already be aware of us already.

 

What does anyone else think?

If people want to start submitting DCA/bailiff firm phone numbers to this thread, I'll see that each number given has at least one CAG link.

 

The world is becoming more reliant on internet access, and more people are becoming more distrustful of private companies - with good reason.

 

So, many want to check word-of-mouth before having any dealings with a company they've never had any contact with before. And whocallsme is very often used for that purpose.

 

By doing this, and the more numbers I get, I think that companies that use telephone as a medium to threaten and bully - like DCAs or bailiff firms - will eventually find that means of communication to be pretty ineffective if everyone knows who they are and what they do.

 

Even if they change their number, then if this thread is made a sticky, it's only a matter of time before the new number gets disclosed on this thread again and hey presto, the whocallsme entry for that number will have a link to this site also!

 

I think that this idea has the potential of cutting a fair percentage of telephone harassment by companies.

Another key point I've missed is that I cannot see any feasible way that CAG can lose out with this idea. In fact, it can benefit massively - better yet, there's nothing illegal about it.

 

Anyone suffering telephone harassment from a certain phone number can copy and paste a template onto a whocallsme entry for that number. Or ANY call log site, for that matter.

 

The more people who get to be made aware of this site, the more likely it is that we can help a great many more people than we already are.

 

Then, the more likely it is that donations will be received to keep this site going. Plus, as I mentioned before, using telephone as a medium to convey threats can be cut at a stroke, and will become a markedly less viable tool for such companies that choose to use it.

 

If nothing else, it shows solidarity and a good opportunity to return the favour if you feel that CAG has helped you.

 

Besides, these companies profit from other peoples' lack of awareness as regards where they stand in relation to debt matters. Now, CAG has a golden opportunity to profit from their dishonesty and give some measure of redress to those who've suffered past victimisation.

 

Let's face it - CAG has dented these companies' profits and the threat-spew industry is hurting because of it. Now, there's the potential to increase this and possibly even drive some crooks right out of business - because the government and the law as it stands clearly isn't inclined to do it for us!

That's exactly what I mean - something like that, but a list that also takes in the numbers of bailiff firms as well as DCAs. That list does look a little short, but that's the kind of thing I mean.

 

Once that list is drawn up, and if constantly kept updated, then template messages can be pasted into each entry that exists for that number, which takes about 20 seconds to do for each number.
