    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step. It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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,

 

I have recently been offerred a full refund from Lloyds TSB relating to charges to my account between July 2004 and March 2007; £619 !!

 

I want to tackle my Royal Bank of Scotland which I had between 2000 and 2004, I think they have charged my at least £800 over that period.

I am slightly worried about claiming as my account wasnt in good order throughout this time, and on various occassions well over the overdraft limit until I finally defaulted and my account was closed.

 

Can anyone let me know if I will be unable to claim when my account was regularly close to or over the agreed overdraft limit and when the bank eventually defaulted me and closed the account.

 

Any advice gratefully received as I do want to claim the money back if I can.

 

Thanks

 

Harry.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter if your account was occasionally over your limit or always over it.

These charges are still UNLAWFUL and therefore claimable by yourself.

 

As the account in question has been closed there is nothing to loose, so a win/win for you there.

 

For the sake aof a few pounds and some waiting, GO FOR IT !

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Thanks Curlyben, my claim with Lloyds was easy in that I have online banking so could use that to get my statements from 2004 onwards, and I have always been within overdraft (as I dont have one!!) and generally in good order with my account, where as RBoS started out good (opened in 1990 as a student) and then went wrong from around 2000 onwards.

Can I ask for statements back to 2000 ? my understanding was 6 yrs only.

 

Is there a term of words I should use when requesting statements and asking for charges to be repaid when the account was overdrawn and defaulted.

Any help gratefully received.

 

Harry

Part of the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) request is getting ALL of your data from the banks.

I approached LTSB for mine and, after a bit of a fight, got statements back to 1997.

Now that's a nice little claim going in the post today.

 

Ignore the fact the account was defaulted, but you can use this as a condition of NO legal action. ;)

Thanks for the useful advice Curlyben, but what do you mean by:

 

"but you can use this as a condition of NO legal action" ?

 

Will let you / everyone know how I get on.

 

Cheers

Ooops so wish I could type.

What I ment to say is that you can ask for the default removal as part of your request.

 

Always worth a try, but to be honest they'll probably ignore it.

Yep.

SAR is a legal request and cannot be ignored.

Don't be so sure about them not taking it to the wire.

True they are unlikely to go to trail, but they can take it as far as that.

 

I'm currently dealing with an old Cap1 account that has been closed and passed around DCA's for a while.

My prelim is already in, just waiting for the stock" we aren't gonna pay you" letter then the fun really starts.

 

6+ years with CCI, now that should be fun for starters.

I would advise SG that you have a look at the guide in the FAQ section as this has information on requesting removal of a default.

 

If may also answer some of your questions in relation to how the process works

 

;)

If my post has been useful, tip my scales and let me know

 

Always start with the User guide!

  • 1 year later...

Hi friends,

 

A few years ago I was a very stupid man (something i pay for on a daily basis) and stuck my head in the sand rather than face up to my debts.

 

I defaulted on a loan and current account overdraft with RBS. They subsequently formally defaulted my acount and I now pay £65 a month to their central Customer Credit Services Dept to repay the debt.

I have been doing this for well over 2 years, and wondered if it was worth doing 2 things:

 

Firstly, asking RBS to remove the default notice on my account.

Reason being that i have been faithfully repaying money to them over the last 2.5 years, additionally that the default is affecting my ability to re-mortgate my property and gain a better financial deal in the present climate of the credit crunch.

 

Secondly, asking RBS for details of the charges made to my account during the period 2002 to 2004 (the account was closed in 2004 and I am aware that you can only claim back 6 years). The charges will be significant i am sure and in a time of financial hardship for myself in 2002, 2003 and 2004 this affected my ability to administer my account within the terms of the agreement - hence i was defaulted.

 

What do you think is the chance of success in either ? if this is in the wrong section please let me know.

 

I am now facing up to my responsibilities and repaying debts where i can, i just think that the removal of the default would make things easier in the long term. I no longer hold any credit cards and will no longer get myself into debt (having learnt my lesson). I use a debt card now linked to by current account with another high street lender.

 

thanks for your help.

 

cheers
