    • There's a thread somewhere about someone sending the baillifs against Wizzair that is quite hilarious. I would love to see someone do the same to Ryanair. Question is, should you be the one to take that role. You are entitled to the £220, if your flight was from the UK. If it was TO the UK I suppose it is more of a grey area... though the airlines I know have been using £220 as standard. Not that surprising for Ryanair, the worst cheapskates in the universe, to go for the lower amount, and if you forward this to the CEO he will probably have a jolly good laugh and give his accountants a verbal bonus. After all he's the one who said and I paraphrase "F*** our customers, they'll fly with us again anyway". While we would all love to see Ryanair get wooped in court again, I have to join my fellow posters in thinking it's not worth the hassle for (hypothetically) £7 and not sure it will expedite the payment either. It's already an achievement that you got them to accept to pay.

    • 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.

Right, here we go:

10th May posted financial statement to Arc (Egg) plus offer of 20.00 per month with a 10.00 postal order towards that payment. (Sent in normal post not recorded).

No written reply.

 

Discovered this website shortly after.

 

Just found a letter today, that i'd accidently put to side with some junk mail from Trevor Munn Solicitors acting on behalf of Arc.

Letter dated 25th April states Arc are preparing to issue a claim against me in Northampton County Court to recover debt. Solicitors been instructed to start this 10 days from date of letter unless a full or substantial payment is made and a firm commitment to pay is received. There is then the usual paragraph about a ccj and damage to credit plus court costs of 190.00. I am advised to contact Arc on legal helpline (won't do this - letter only).

 

17th May sent for CCA request to ARC with 1.00 PO registered post.

 

I've also just thought i a ought to S.A.R Egg with 10.00 PO REGISTERED POST!!.

 

I think i should write to solicitor to let them know i am awaitng ARC response re CCA but i do not know how to word the letter. This is the bit i wondered if come-one could help me with. If there's any other useful info - let me know!!

 

Since finding this site i have learnt:

No 'phone correspondence.

Registered post all the time.

Don't let people bully you.

 

Thank you everyone. :-)

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

Dear xxxx

 

Ref xxxx

 

Thank you for your letter of xx/xx/2007.

 

Your client received a legal request for a Consumer Credit Agreement (Consumer Credit Act, 1974) on xx/xx/2007. Therefore, until such times as your client is able to comply with my request, the account remains in dispute and no further action should be taken by yourselves.

 

If you have any queries in relation to this matter, I suggest that you liaise with your client directly.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

:)

 

Hope that helps... Send it by rec. delivery.... ;)

Sorry to butt in on thread, but I am in same position as Hopeful1 - same letter from Trevor Munn after I've sent CCA to ARC. This might assist us both.

 

Are one of you clever boffs able to advise me on this query (sorry if it seems a bit daft! :) ). If a DCA does not own a debt, but are collecting on behalf of their client (Egg), can the DCA's solicitors threaten court action? I am wondering about this as I understood only the owner of the debt can take you to court - however the Trevor Munn letter specifically states that they are preparing court action on behalf of ARC (does not mention Egg). :???:

Ha! Good question! I'm guessing they can't which is pretty much what the letter posted above is telling them. I'm sending it tomorrow registered post. If the DCA can't prove they own a debt then that means they have no right to enforce it. I would then CCA Egg, who would then need to provide evidence of the legal agreement before they can pursue the debt any further. I'm also going to send SAR to Egg. Running out of 10.00 notes for all these actions, but it's so worth it. 8)

 

I'm just about to go to Royal Mail to track all the CCA letters i sent last Thursday.

 

Let me know as and when you hear anything. Have you made any contact with Trevor Munn or are you going to?

Hi Hopeful. LOL Yeah I know what you mean about running out of tenners :) - I think I'm going to be bankrupted by the cost of recorded delivery too!

 

I'm going down the same route as you - haven't yet made contact with Trevor Munn by am going to send the same letter as you this week. We'll have to compare notes....

 

What I am thinking is - if when ARC answer my CCA request they can't provide a deed of assignment and/or confirm that they are not the owners of the debt and are just collecting it on behalf of Egg, where does that leave Trevor Munn? If (and I might be assuming this and be totally wrong :???: ) only the owner of the debt can take legal action then surely the threats of such action in the Trevor Munn letter (specifically action on behalf of ARC) are misleading. Is it something that the OFT and the Law Society should be made aware of - 'cause I'd love to report the b******!!! :-D

Up until fairly recently, a DCA was able to get away with threatening court action because it was rarely queried/defended. People have been so intimidated by these companies that they have just towed the line and paid, sometimes for years, without being brave enought to question anything. In this way, DCAs (and creditors) were able to prey on the vulnerable and go for a CCJ because ... when there's no defence (i.e. CCA non-compliance)... then they win by default.

 

One of mine tried this very recently.... :cool: .... and failed ! :-D No-one had a CCA.

I'm with you on that one majorclanger100! I keep forgetting to take my T Munn letter with me, but i'm definitely doing it today. I shall wait with baited breath. :cool: Keep in touch.

 

I've never looked forward to getting the post like i do now i've sent off all these CCAs. I have even made the decision to answer my house 'phone now because i have the confidence to say "writing only" and put the 'phone down. Woo Hoo bring it on! :D

Yes isn't it great to look forward to the post again. My wife thinks it's hilarious when I get disappointed because there's no nasty letter from a DCA waiting for me when we get home from work. She has seriously got into this too - put the fear of God up some bloke from ARC Europe last week when he dared to ring her at work (apparently he couldn't get off the phone quick enough!). Like you say PriorityOne - no hiding behind the sofa now!!!

 

Will keep in touch Hopeful1 - can't wait to hear what the response to our letters will be! :)

I sent my collection of CCAs off on 17.05.07, so the expiry date will be 06.06.07. Now the fun has begun :p - Arc have today replied:

"We are writing to confirm safe receipt of your payment for 1.00" and then goes on to say they've noted i do not have a payment plan in place (because they've not acknowledged my recent offer) and i must contact them, yes you've guessed it...URGENTLY, otherwise will go to solicitors etc.

 

Now, firstly i won't be ringing them. My query is that i can't work out if they've used the 1.00 PO as payment against my account rather than for the CCA. Do i need to write to clarify that but say the original expiry date will still stand? If i do need to do this, could anyone help me with the layout of the letter, please? :)

Ok. I shall sit tight and wait for the next installment :rolleyes: . I keep wishing time away : i wait for the post; i'm waiting for CCA expiry dates, not to mention pay day!!

 

At least once all this is over i'll know where i stand one way or another and can take the time to relax.

 

Thank you for your reassurance.

Hi all,

 

I'm in the same position with Trevor Munn (egg credit card). Egg defaulted us 3 weeks after a missed payment. Maybe because they received my SAR and knew what was coming? Anyway got a lovely bog standard letter from trevor this morning ..... same blurb as everyone else. I hope they all know how to whistle dixie ........ anyway - what I want to know is how can they quote me court costs of £140 for a £500 debt, when it would only cost me £80 to file for that amount in a county court?

Do you think they might be trying to rip me off and intimidate me hoping that in my ignorance I might just pay them?

 

Ha! Ha! have I got news for them ....... I'm a cagger afterall!!

 

Cheers Ajjars!

Firstly an update on BCW (Cahoot) (CCA sent a week ago):

2 letters received today. The one with the earliest date says the business solicitors are looking at account re attachment of earnings and asset investigation.

The 2nd, dated a day later, says to contact them to avoid debt being passed to Business Solicitors :confused: (Thought they'd already done that!!)

So, i'm guessing i keep sitting this out until 12 day expiry.

 

Now the questions:

In the meantime, should i S.A.R Cahoot? If yes, does anyone have an address, please?

 

Also, i sent CCAs to NDR and Weightmans at the same time. RM is not showing these letters as being delivered. Because RM is unreliable could the DCAs claim they've not received my letters, in which case should i pre-empt this and send them again by special delivery?

I've taken your advice (thank you for that) and The Royal Snail have not yet delivered to either Weightmans or NDR. I'm cross because that's 5 days lost :( I'm going to do it all again tomorrow but Special Delivery this time. It's more expensive but i think more reliable. I'm glad the POs were only for 1 squid!

 

Here we go again.....

Just an update:

 

NDR - re-sent CCA should arrive Tuesday.

WEIGHTMANS - as above

BCW - nothing further since "contact urgently" and "sending to solicitor letters"

MBNA (for OH) - they've sent their own S.A.R request form/ID request. Will send Tuesday with copy of original letter because fees have already been sent. Cheeky blighters!

This is the one i'd appreciate opinions on:

ARC - have sent CCA on behalf of clients (EGG) and now want full payment in 7 days.

:???: The question i've been asking is clarifiction that i do not have to deal with ARC if they haven't sent me a deed of assignment. Or is it easier to send them my budget sheet and a monthly payment offer?

I'm going to S.A.R Egg on Tuesday. Should i send them my offer of payment instead?
