    • Hi and thanks It looks like they ticked all the boxes to me but I'll try and upload the notice. I was wondering if a witness to late delivery might be considered proof - I'm assuming they posted it as normal but Royal Mail stuffed up delivery. If not then they're really saying it just has to be posted within 12 days of the incident, regardless of when it is received. Annoying! edit ok thanks Honeybee here's my 2nd (actually 3rd) attempt at anonymising, copying and uploading the notice! Sorry about the state of it - I sat on it while distracted by my dog 🙃 pcn front.pdf pcn back page.pdf
    • ROFL - dont get upset just because someone (quite a lot of someones) dont want smart meters - well unless you get paid for it .. in which case ...   I assume you haven't been with Octopus long enough to be on one of the very long fixed price tariffs they offered before the prices went bonkers .. and that you dont use your electricity in the evening/lunch time if you think the 'agile type tariffs are good value .. let alone worth installing a smart meter for - high price a good disincentive for an evening cuppa eh? Let alone all your computer/tv etc time in the peak price evening or lunch time. - and boy do those peak prices instantly hammer your bill when those Russian and middle eastern issues kick off.   I would only have considered a smart meter if solar panels had been an option for me - but roof is oriented completely the wrong way. Oh - and My opinion hasn't changed since the smart meter trials 40 years ago, because neither have the issues (well not enough) but I'm happy for you. Be happy for me.
    • Hi. I'm afraid I've had to hide your post with the pdf files to keep this anonymous for you. You've left the PCN reference number and your car reg showing. Could you edit that and repost please? HB    
    • Well naturally if you want to maintain your outrage, and retain something to bitch about, then arguing about the level of your fixed monthly DD is the way to go. You are of course perfectly free to ignore the easy solution.
    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him.

    • 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.

I cannot thank you enough for the letter. It's brilliant. Thank you

 

Shall I wait until sat 24/mon 27th march to send it as the time is up for the reply to CCA request then and they would be in default of that too or send it now? I also added that I wanted copy's of anything sent to old addresses re sent to correct address.

 

I don't believe I have everything cos the ex wife doesn't pass stuff on all the time. More than likely goes in the bin. She only mentioned excel as they went to the house.

 

I've also sent a letter to solicitor with correct adress. Didn't put anything else on that though.

This is what I sent alpha on the 8th march

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

You have recently tried to contact me regarding the account with the above reference number which you claim is owed by myself. Using Excel Collection and Enquiry Services LTD at an old address of xxx which I have not lived at since Jan 2014. Further to this you have also written to me at xxxx which I have not lived at since May 2016.

 

I have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to Alpha Credit Solutions 4 S.A.R.L

 

I have familiarised myself with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consumer credit sourcebook which states the following rules.

 

"A firm must not ignore or disregard a customer's claim that a debt has been settled or is disputed and must not continue to make demands for payment without providing clear justification and/or evidence as to why the customer's claim is not valid." 7.5.3

 

"A firm must suspend any steps it takes or its agent takes in the recovery of a debt from a customer where the customer disputes the debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds." 7.14.1

 

"Where a customer disputes a debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds, the firm must investigate the dispute and provide details of the debt to the customer in a timely manner." 7.14.3

 

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

 

This letter is also a formal request pursuant to s.77 of the consumer credit Act 1974. I require you to provide me with a true copy of the credit agreement relating to the above account, together with any other documentation the Act requires you to provide.

 

I expect you to comply fully and properly with this request, within the statutory time limit. You are reminded that should you fail to comply with my request; the provisions of s.77(4) will apply.

 

If it is your view that you are not the creditor, s.175 of the CCA 1974 applies in the case of a simple assignment, and places a duty upon you to pass this request to the creditor. In the case of an absolute assignment, you are a creditor as defined by s.189. If you contend that you purchased the rights but not the duties of any agreement, you are reminded that s.189 of the Act is clear that an assignment is of both rights and duties.

 

Your attention is drawn to ss.5 (2), 3(b),6 and 7 of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR).

 

I enclose a postal order in the sum of £1.00, which is the statutory fee. Note that these funds are not to be used for any other purpose.

 

If you are unable to comply fully and properly with this request, you should confirm this in writing at the earliest opportunity, and certainly within the statutory time limit for compliance, and return the fee.

 

I politely request you update your records with my new address at the top of this letter with immediate effect.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

And I also sent a SAR to welcome at the same time.

 

I know I already have one but the one I had was in March/April 2016 so a lot has gone on since then so it would be interesting to find out more.

 

Also another letter headed account in serious dispute to welcome and questioned where the FSCS money has gone? And basically saying what the FSCS said about purchasing the debt back. And request they do that and null everything

 

Waiting game for all that

as for the CCA request

now not having that would hurt them for now.

Just chased welcome re account is serious dispute letter below that was sent early march. As I have not even received an acknowledgement.

 

They have advised that all the points are still being investigated and I will be issued with a response no later than April 4th

 

I'm unable to upload what I sent it's saying font colours red please do not?!! No font is red.

 

Enclosed is my original complaint/dispute with you raised in sept 2016. Further to this I have gone to the FSCS as advised in my final response.

 

Irresponsible lending complaint first raised with you on 20/09/16 also taken to the FOS 19/11/16 and the FCA 03/02/17. Case referred to an Ombudsman 09/02/2017.

 

FSCS have awarded me refund for PPI letter enclosed they have not included all other insurances at the moment and are looking into this.

 

Compensation figure awarded £7,888.39. Who will this go to? Welcome or Alpha credit? Would i receive confirmation when paid and proof of any balance has been reduced by this? As I have not had any correspondence from you.

 

Any outstanding balance that could be owed to you is made up of penalty charges and irresponsible lending from the first rewrite not to mention the further loans that followed. As you kept increasing credit without doing the required credit checks especially when you knew the account was already in numerous arrears.

The charge on the property was applied on ‪19/010/06‬‬‬‬‬ refers to loan ‪2320257‬‬‬‬‬ dated 17/10/06 which was for £6000 with £1485 PPI , £180 life care, £125 home care which totals £7,790.75. 120 months at £170.28.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

 

The FSCS have advised that if you have sold the debt to Alpha credit you would need to purchase the account back from them to offset any balance owing.

 

I am politely requesting you do the above then null any outstanding balance and remove the charge on my property which has originated from irresponsible lending on your part from 2001 onwards.

 

I am willing to compromise if you remove the charge and resultant balance.

 

I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you within 14 days.

Just had this from prime to my address.. 2 separate letters but the same letter only difference between the 2 are one is only in my name and the other both mine and ex names on there.

 

 

CCA I asked for and now they want me to pay an extra £9 for the SAR and want the both our signatures? Only I requested the CCA

 

Do I go for SAR on my own? Don't really want to get her involved.

Yes uncrossed postal order. But that's why they must be only asking for an extra £9 for a SAR. Do you find this strange? I copied the letter from the link. I just added the first couple of paragraphs to it myself.

 

Then Yesterday I sent prime the letter you done giving all the welcome history.

 

Do I resend the Cca as soon they will have the details of the whole welcome saga! Lol
