    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 all,

 

Having read through what seems like 1000's of posts I wanted to see if anyone can assist.

 

I have a Barclaycard with a balance of around £7900, and an Egg card now transferred to Barclaycard with a balance of £10500.

 

Due to a significant change of circumstances I have written to them to outline my financial difficulties, they had initially agreed a reduced payment plan, but even this I am not able to meet at the moment.

 

Looking at their corresponance it does not appear that they have not actually defaulted me yet, however I have started to recieve Mercers letters on both cards.

 

On 23/3/12 I requested copies of the CCA on both accounts, and they acknowledged receipt of the request on 27/03/12.

 

I know that some of the law around CCA has changed over the last few years, but am I right that after 14 working days, I should write to them saying that I place the accounts in dispute? The further 30 days is no longer applicable?

 

I MAY be in a position in a few months, with the generosity of a relative, to make a F&F offer, but I wanted to confirm that they have a valid CCA before making such an offer. Any advice on this?

 

I understand my credit record will be hit for 6 years, but think I can live with that. Just wanted to get all the pain out of the way now (if they have not yet defaulted me yet) to start the 6 years ticking on the credit record.

Hi Dewatt,

 

Same response as your other question - only difference is the Mercers are still Barclay's - it's Barclay's in-house DCA!

Hi Dewatt,

 

If you have received no response within 14 days then you should have sent in the account in-dispute letter, if not sent, send it now.

30 days for a CCA request no longer applies.

 

Pay what you can afford - if your on benefits or you income has dropped to a low level than £1 a month.

As Barclay's are in default of your CCA request, you can legally stop payments until they comply.

 

Barclay's will eventually farm it out to a DCA.

 

Any PPI and charges to claim back?

 

When offering a Full and final - get everything in writing, make sure it is stated that the remainder of the debt will not be sold on, your credit file is reflected as a full settlement and even try and get the default removed.

Thanks Stigman, I have recieved an acknowledgement of CCA request on one account on 27th march, and on the other account 10th April. Guess the Egg card is not fully integrated with BC yet and is being handled seperately. Given the CCA request was sent on 23rd March (Day 0), and with Easter, the 14 working days don't expire until 17th April, so will wait and see what comes back

Update 1 - On the original Barclaycard

It still looks like they have not defaulted me, as I have received statements for March and April still showing interest and late payment fees being applied.

A couple of letters and calls from Mercers but no default notice.

I have received a response to my CCA request dated 11th April stating that they enclose a reconstituted copy of the agreement, but all that was inclosed was a single page with the "right to cancel" declaration. In a seperate letter they enclosed their current T&C.

 

Update 2 - On the transferred Egg card

A couple of Mercers letters

A Default notice on 14th March, but curiously the April 27th statement still adds interest and late payments - so have they not exercised the default notice?

CCA Request response on 16th April with latest T&C and a reconstituted Egg aggreement - it has my name and old address on a blank page (with Right to cancel) then a standard egg T&C but nothing to show it relates to me at all - no dates etc.

 

Should I submit CPUTR letters on both to confirm if they actually hold valid CCA?

Update - CPUTR letters sent with no response at all.

Checking Equifax and Call Credit, both accounts are showing as late payment but not defaulted, so they are still adding interest.

F&F offer letter sent but no response.

Letters from Mercers and now a letter from Calder Financial regarding only one account.

 

Next steps? place the accounts in dispute?

 

It seems like they are just ignoring me, all the while being able to keep on adding interest. Any way that I can force a default just to stop the interest being added?

Any other suggestions?

Quick question

- On the Egg card,

the DN was issued by Mercers (on Barclaycard letterhead) on 14 March 2012.

 

However , on my credit files the default is not showing as listed until 15/8/12 some 5 months later.

 

now I'm happy I can show that its SB some time aound March,

but does anyone know if I can get the Credit file entries removed earlier if I can provide the DN to them?

 

Why would they wait 5 months to actually file the default?

because they can and they know full well that mercers DN were defective anyway.

then write to BC and complain

tell them under the ICO rules at the time the default should have been registered following the third missed payment

give them 14 days to rectify else you'll complain to the ICO and also seek financial compensation
