    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Section 75 Consumer Credit Act - Paid on credit card but lost original invoice

Long story short.

 

Around April last year I bought a guest bed for the spare room.

 

The bed has only been used about 10 times as it's a guest bed, however the frame has broken and is fairly unusable as a bed.

 

I've contacted Halifax to raise a S75 claim, however they are saying as I do not have the receipt to prove I purchased the bed, I am unable to make the claim, even though I have provided them with a statement showing the purchase.

 

The bed cost £199.

 

The store I bought the bed from went out of business late last year, so I have been unable to contact them.

 

Do I need the original receipt to make a claim?

 

Thank you for your documentation.

 

I am sorry to learn of the difficulties that you have experienced with this merchant.

 

Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 covers purchases made using the card costing between £100 and £30,000, where a misrepresentation or breach of contract has been proven.

 

As you are unable to provide sufficient information to prove there has been a breach of contract or misrepresentation, I am unable to agree to your claim because there is no invoice or paperwork to support the purchase.

 

I trust this clarifies our position and regret that I am unable to be of any further assistance at this time.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

You should write to your credit card provider, including the following information:

 

What you bought, where, when and how you bought it, and how much you paid. Include copies of receipts

Details of how the goods and services you received constituted a breach of contract as they were either faulty, not as described, or were not received at all

Details of attempts you've made to contact the company and the responses you've had

An explanation of what you want from the credit card company - namely to refund the money you paid for the goods you've received.

 

If you are rejected for a Section 75 refund and are adamant you think this was an unfair decision by your credit provider, then you can make a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

We could do with some help from you.

I've already written to them.

 

The majority of my claim has been made via email, besides the two phone calls they made to me today to discuss the complaint I made after they've handled my claim poorly to start with (i.e. sending generic emails to me several times, along with letters saying my case was closed because I didn't respond to their previous letters - which they never sent!)

 

The below emails are what I've sent and recieved from them.

 

Dear sir / madam

 

I called your contact centre earlier today, however was asked to email as

the agent said my records didn't go far enough back on their system to

discuss my claim.

 

Around April / May 2017 I purcehd a bed from Reddish Beds for £199, which

was to be used as a spare bed in the guest room.

 

The bed had been used less than 10 times, before breaking. It no longer

fully supports the matress, meaning the mattress falls inside the bedframe,

effectivly making the bed unusable.

 

I phoned Reddish Beds numerous times to resolve the issue throughout

October and November 2016 , however each time was told I would be called

back by the manager. I even resorted to going in store twice around late

October / early November, however the correct person was still not around

to talk to.

 

Since then the business has closed down and the only contact details on the

website are for the manufactures who made their products, however as I

can't find the original recipt and theres no identifying marks on the bed

I'm unsure who manufactured the bed.

 

Therefore I am making a claim under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act

regarding this purchase. I request a refund to the ammount of the original

purchase so that I can replace the bed with one that is fit for purpose.

 

I have included the last 4 digits of the account number which I use to pay

my credit card direct debit for you to identify me by as I have recently

reported my card lost, and therefor can not access my online banking to

check my account number.

 

Kind regards

 

Halifax responded with the below email, which they sent me several times.

 

Transaction Details: REDDISH BEDS

Transaction Amounts: £199.00

· Copies of any correspondence received from the merchant.

· .

· Copy of the Liquidator's/Administrators letter (if the company is no longer trading).

 

Please send the above information to us by fax, post or email.

Alternatively you can send in your query by post to Lloyds Banking group Plc, Pitreavie Credit Card Operations, BX1 1LT.

 

Yours sincerely

 

They sent me the above email, I replied with the below email. They then replied with the above email again, at which point I resent the below email, adding the section making the complaint.

 

Hi

 

Thank you for the generic response to my initial email.

 

I have already answered most of your questions in my previous email, however will provide more detail if I can below.

 

1) You are my card provider. I have downloaded my statement from your website. I have attached the relevent statement to this email, however do not understand why you require me to do this? You clearly have access to the statement as I have downloaded it from your website.

2) As mentioned in my previous email, I am unable to find the original invoice and therefore can not provide you with this.

3) As I do not have the invoice I can not confirm the exact date the bed was recieved, however i believe it was Saturday 9th April 2016 - I collected the bed in person so there is no courier to consult.

4) As the store has closed down I am unable to return it. I am also unwilling to spend money on having a courier collect the bed, attempt to deliver it and then return it to me undelivered as the store has closed. This would be a waste of my time and money.

5) See my previous email

6) See my previous email

7.1) I am unsure how to obtain this. Their merchants website states that they have closed.

7.2) There is no provision under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for you to request a copy of the Administratores letter or for me to provide it - You are jointly responsible for the item if the company is trading or not.

 

As you have clearly ignore my previous email and are trying to make my claim unnecessarily convoluted, I would also like to make an official complaint about the way my claim is being handled and the service I have recieved From Halifax / Lloyds Banking Group.

If you are unable to satisfactorily resolve my complaint I will escallate my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman.

 

Regards

 

They have now responded with the below email (again after several generic emails about my claim being dealt with)

 

Thank you for your documentation.

Halifax have offered £50 compensation over the phone for the way my complaint has been handled, which they've already paid to my account. They stated that this did not prevent me from taking my claim further or from contacting the ombudsman.

 

What would my next step be?
