    • 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.

Hi all,

 

This is my first full post here and I wanted to ask for some advice from the knowledgable folk that are always around here! Essentially, without going into too much detail, I have an impending problem. I have, in the past, used the Moneyshop to obtain 'cash 'til payday' advances on my wages. Essentially you write them a cheque for a hundred pounds and they give you £87 back. They then cash it the next month unless you pay another £14 on each cheque to extend it by a month. I have currently got £500 of debt with them and have been extending the cheques. The problem is that I am soon to be out of work and have no income until the benefits start. I am then going to be unable to extend the cheques as I can't afford it! My bank won't give me an overdraft to cover this as I have a bad credit history. So I am facing a load of cheques going out and nothing there to cover them.

 

I want to ask if anyone can suggest the best course of action. Do you think writing to Moneyshop and explaining the situation will lead to them allowing a repayment plan? Obviously this would be better than bouncing the cheques and ending up with a large, unauthorised overdraft and all the charges that go with it.

 

I'm getting really stressed out by this and any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance! J :)

Your idea of speakling to Moneyshop and explaining your situation to them would seem the best course ofmaction at this monent in time.

 

At least by doing this you will be proactive and up front about your situation and as such they will, hopefully, be able to offer advice and help.

 

If they get snotty then maybe a visit to your local Citizens Advice Bureau may be needed.

 

Good luck

It might be an idea to cancel the cheques if they don't want to listen as there may be an issue of you writing the cheques knowing there's no funds to cover them. Will also save a lot of charges. Get in before they do if need be.

 

Good luck, Dave.

I used to use them all the time, it apears a good idea when you need money but like you say you end up delaying them and one day they have to be paid. Well i would speak to them and see if they can do anything, if they cant they could bank them as they will be "Gaurenteed cheques" using your cheque guarentee card, this will result in you going over your overdraft and getting charges from the bank which you will then want to reclaim.

If none of this works maybe take out a small £500 loan? my credit record was seriously bad but there are some lenders although the interest rate will not be good!

Hi there - I too thought they were a good idea until things spun out of control for me.

 

I was in the same situation and spoke to them - all they could offer was a 12 month loan for the value of the outstanding cheques plus interest - I'm not sure if it is an agreement under the CCA - no credit cheques were required - but you have to pay it by direct debit - this may give you some breathing space.

Best thign to do is speak to them as I am sure you don't want to increase your debt!

 

All the best!

I know it's a slightly different issue givingitago, but you say that you don't have a very good credit history. Are there any charges from your bank account or previously loans you can claim back?

 

I know this doesn't help your immediate problem but it may get you a little more money in the next 2 or 3 months.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

 

BEWARE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OFFERING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS.

Hi there,

 

I've just got off the phone to 1st credit who have been passed the account from the money shop. Originally the debt was around £400. Now it's £800. They told me that £428 of interest has been added (defualts etc), which I'm clearly annoyed about. What shall I do? Shall I pay the full debt or shall I argue that £428 worth of charges is totally unfair?

 

If someone can help, then I would be very grateful. 1st Credit are now saying that it will be passed over for court action!

 

Thanks

This will be the same as when a DCA sends out a letter claiming they now own the debt? You have already acknowleged the debt by telephoning them. :( So I don't think you would get away with denying any knowlege of it.

 

Send a letter and £1 postal order asking for the original agreement and a breakdown in charges. Remember not to talk to DCAs on the phone deal in writing and don't use your normal signature.

 

See what they come back with.

Thanks - I take it I need to ask the DCA for the breakdown of charges or do I need to contact the moneyshop? Also, is there a template letter for this?

 

Thanks

 

Hi Gary There is a template letter I'll try and find it and post the link here for you. You send it to the DCA. They will then have to prove to you that the debt is enforcable.

These are the template letters you will need to send letter N.

 

I got a letter from a DCA asking for money or they will take me to court. I sent this letter and they wrote back saying they are not going to persue it further. Give it a go and see what 1st Credit come up with

Ok - Thanks. However, I already wrote to 1st credit saying this::shock:

 

I would like to inform you that the balance of these accounts are in dispute with the original creditor due to unlawful charges. Therefore, I consider these accounts to be in dispute and no further action shall be taken until this matter is resolved pursuant to OFT guidelines Section 2.8 k. "not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt."

 

I also reserve the right to pursue the legal owner for any and all unlawful charges that have been levied on these accounts.

 

I am prepared to take all legal action necessary to recover these unlawful charges.

Shall I now follow it up with Letter N? I'm worried now I've sent the wrong letter!

Many thanks!

I complained to the moneyshop about the 25.00 charge per cheque - as i informed them that i have no funds available due to my unemployment situation. - Anyway they ignored this. I made another complaint.

 

The Moneyshop 'investigation' - standard response its a 30 day loan and you will have to pay all charges and extra interest.... I asked for a statement of account and breakdown of charges which they have not supplied.

 

They say i have to complain to British Cheque Cashers Association first before i can complain to the Financial Ombudsman servie. It it worth complaining the BCCA?

 

In the credit agreement it states

 

"Complaint we cannot settle via our complaint procedure may be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service."

 

Theres no mention of the BCCA.

 

I would also like to know if the £25.00 charge per a cheque worth under £50.00 is fair.

 

The moneyshop said thats what the bank charges them? Is this true?. (I did inform them of my financial difficulties)

How on earth did they manage that? How did they get your new details if you have not told them?

I would be straight on to the bank to see what they are playing at.

I called my partner and he said he had extended the cheques a month ago and used his debit card for the new account.

called my bank and they said theres nothing they can do and that he would have to call moneyshop to see if they will refund the payments (very unlikely) and that even if we cancell the card they could still manage to take the money from our account! this is daylight robbery how can this be justified. im highly annoyed right now and can see my partners dinner being in the dog tonight!
