    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.    
    • Evening all,   So today, I was sent an updated offer that includes the £12.60 I spent on letters, but they have declined to add the interest at £7.40. They have stating 'We acknowledge your request to claim interest to date, however, this would be at the discretion of a trial judge if the claim did proceed to a trial hearing.' I think I am content with this outcome, and pushing this to a trial for a total interest of £15.30 throughout the claim does not make sense to me.   What are people's thoughts? I am sure our courts have better things to concentrate on?

    • Have to attend the hearing and present evidence of his financial position (income & expenditure) and  statements ,and agree an acceptable payment plan with the judges guidance.  It will be a form of redetermination hearing as already stated.The court will not agree to bailiffs if the financials do not reflect it or assetts are minimal. They just want to determine his true affordable disposable monthly figure....which will not be £10.

    • 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,

i took out an mbna card in around 2002 (unsure of exact year)

i was made redundant and ran up debts,

on returning to employment i started to pay them off for many years,

 

however the interest rates kept going up and eventually (aug 2012) i just stopped paying completely,

 

initially i intended to enter into a debt arrangement scheme but mental health issues and anxiety/stress meant i just started to ignore it!

I have ignored this situation for almost 5 years

 

Recently found out that after 5 years its unenforceable.

ive been praying that it would get to that point to relieve this stress

 

Balance is sitting at around £8.5k

I have always had PPI on this card

 

I phoned broadies on receipt of the letter to request a CCA which they said they'd send.

 

I have not received anything,

does anyone have any advice,

 

ive no idea what to do next?

im scared they dont send any on for

because it was done via phone,

 

should i email them?

 

just checked and my first month of not paying was august 2012, last recorded payment was july 2012

Are you in Scotland?

If so then yes it's SB after 5 years, otherwise its six years.

 

Is it these guys chasing? http://www.brodies.com/legal-services

 

First thing is to STOP discussing financial matters over the phone.

 

What did they send you?

 

You need to send them a CCA request in writing, not verbally.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I know you are green so i'll fill you in till you take time to read around.

 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

they have NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS

and broadies act for THEIR CLIENT and do as they say

only the OWNER of a debt can instigate court.

 

they [or more correctly the same printer the other PRA threat-o-grams came from]

simple click the differing letterhead to use because you are in Scotland and they use their fake/tame solicitors letter template for this end of the world

I've got a copy of my cca from Brodie's and a statement. Last payment was 18th July 2012 they have asked for a response of my position by 6th July 2017

"

Please see attached the copy of your agreement and the statements of account, as per your request.

 

Now that this has been provided it is important that you provide an update on your position by close of business 6th July 2017, as failure to do so may lead to further action being taken without prior notice.

 

Regards,"

 

Not sure how to attach cca docs

 

Here is my cca

Sorry im over enthusiastic and panicky!!

 

worried they'll start a court claim on 6th which it won't be statute barred by then?

I didn't send an official cca request just emailed them

Asking for it.

 

 

should I send one on the 5th?

That way they won't be able to issue court proceedings till they've sent it will they?

Which would take me past the 18th?

Btw that was the whole document

Ha ha ha, excellent, these clowns are more nervous than you, this is why they are sending you rubbish application forms, and hoping you'll cough up!

 

There are no T&C's, it's an application form, means nowt. They're panicking.

Court letter today from Brodies - freaking out!

 

Phoned them to say it was statute barred and they said default wasn’t served till March 18 (correct) so it’s not

- I said according to Sse last payment was 18th July 2012 so statute barred.

 

They are “looking into it”and will phone me back!

 

Panicking massively

OK easy to do

Don't do anything without asking here FIRST!!

 

It's statute barred so won't go near a court

Let me go off and find a thread exactly the same that's here already that details everything.

 

Wait

Sorry I’m clearly a gibberish idiot cause I phoned them,

 

they said their position is it’s from the default date,

he then said “it’s at an early stage, would you be looking to settle?”

 

I said “well no cause I don’t agree with the debt”

 

he said they had details of my debt so had enough information to back to their claim

 

I said “it’s not just the total I don’t agree with, there’s other issues” and said “I’ll just contact the debt advisory service” and left the call. I promise faithfully o will not call them again
