    • 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.

In Aug 2010, The Royal Bank of Scotland terminated my current account and associated borrowing.

 

At the time, I had 2 current accounts and one credit card. The debt on the accounts is £0 and £834 respectively.

 

It was initially chased (although not sure why they were chasing a balance of nil) and I never made any payments, wrote to them, answered their calls etc.

Both these accounts show on my Credit File as defaults.

 

However the date doesn't show 2010 as it should but 2013 and 2014 presumably when they last updated them.

 

The credit card balance was £7k+ and was again chased by RBS but again, no payments were made, calls answered or letters written.

 

This debt never appeared on my credit file despite passing through the hands of numerous low level debt collection companies until last year when it was picked up by CABOT. They are calling and writing on a regular basis but again, neither are acknowledged.

 

No court action has been taken on any of the three accounts.

 

My questions are therefore -

Are the debts now statute barred (5 years in Scotland)

 

Why do the dates not reflect the dates of my last correspondence with them?

 

Should I write to RBS and CABOT stating they are statute barred and asking them to be removed?

 

Thank you.

All depends when the creditor actually defaulted the agreements and notified the CRAs...which is not always necessarily 3 months after the breach as per the ICO guidelines.

If cabot has it then its 99.99% unenforceable. Time to do your homework and find out why. Proof of this is its already been passed around multiple DCA's already. And for 7k, the OC would have taken you to court themselves.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thanks.

 

Debts were taken out while resident in Scotland.

 

The current account defaults are both duplicated in my Experian Report.

 

The accounts were terminated in Aug 2010 and both show a default date of 28/2/2011.

 

However, there is another default date shown on the report of 31/3/2013 shown on the one with a zero balance.

Should both of these come off in Feb next year?

 

As for the credit card, I was unable to continue paying this in 2010 but the default wasn't registered with the CRA until 18/4/2013.

 

What should I do next with these?

I want them off my Report asap.

 

Thanks again.

So all are now totally extinguished under Scottish SB rules so do not exist.

 

As for the credit file

They will remain there for 6 yes from defaulted date

 

If the defaulted dates are wrong

Then you need proof of 3rd missed payment or copy of org default notice

And write to whomever is the owner of the default

And demand it is corrected within 1£4 days

Else a complaint will be raised with the ICO

And compensation sought

Debts are SB but the banks especially are deliberately not issuing default notices to stretch out the time before the debt becomes SB.

This means that with a bit of creative reporting they can get 11 years before it shows as being SB if you allow them to play that game.

 

 

They will claim that they spent 5 years discussing the matter with you in an attempt to resolve your financial problems or they may claim that they had lost contact with you and were not reporting a default until they were certain of your new address

(even if you hadnt moved, they would then claim they needed to ascertain your identity properly).

 

Abuse of process

so inform the CRA you dispute the entry and then use the guidelines for debt collecting activity to go after the bank and Cabot.

Except that sb on normal debts start from last date of payment

UPDATE

 

I never got around to chasing this up

a recent check has shown that the duplicate bank defaults have dropped off a few months ago.

 

I'm now left with two defaults,

the original lender, RBS and Cabot.

 

Both are for the same credit card.

I'm now going to pursue this.

 

Are there template letters to use (Scotland) to send to both the original lender for all the relevant details and to Cabot to eventually get the defaults removed?

 

Thank you.

If its the same account number/agreement .....its irrelevant..you can only be defaulted once.

But I'm disputing the dates. They say 2013, I say 2010. If 2010 I should get them removed but I need information from the original lender (RBS) and/or Cabot. Will any letter do or is there a specific template so I don't reset the clock so to speak.

Ah...that wasn't in your initial post # 9.So you need the date corrected only.

OK get thanks.

Last question.

In order to make sure I have the correct information before asking for a Notice of Correction,

 

can I request relevant details from the original lender (RBS) without jeopardising my position?

 

I guess I should ask for a copy of the default letter and when the last payment was made?

 

Should I ask for any information that has given them the idea that the day was 2013 such as a fictitious payment or perhaps phone contact?

phone contact cannot reset SB date

wont be whan last payment was made,

it will the the date the debt was last acknowledged so ( for example)

if you wrote to them 2 years ago saying that you cant afford to pay them

that would be read as acknowledging the debt is yours

and that contact would be the date used for starting the SB clock.

 

 

Also that theoretical letter wouldnt change the defaut date

Hi guys, this must be th elongest running thread on here. Anyway, I have an update following on from a SAR made earlier this year.

 

The original Credit Card issuer was RBS.

Payments were made up until April 2013.

 

Since then, no payments have been made and there was no written or telephone contact with RBS.

The amount owed has been fixed after that time and never increased.

 

Furthermore, it doesn't appear that a Default Letter was ever issued by them as there is no copy in the SAR documentation.

 

The Debt was "sold" to Cabot in 2016 and I have never communicated with them in any form yet they still keep sending me letters periodically.

 

My credit file has Defaults on it from both RBS and Cabot.

 

Am I right in thinking that the debt is now statute barred?

If so, do I write to RBS and Cabot pointing this out and asking them to remove the Defaults?

Is there a template?

 

Thank you in advance. I'm nearly there with this. :-)

statute barring and defaulted date are not the same

and NO just because you have now proved the debt IS extinguished that doesn't mean the default can be removed

two totally differing things.

 

as for no DN copy in the SAR

they don't have to provide that

all they have to do is show one WAS sent

that info will be in the account log/comms log of the SAR.
