    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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,

 

New to the forum but requiring some help urgently.

 

Ok, me and my partner decided to move in together (approx April/May 2010) as we found out she was pregnant. All my bills started to fall behind as our wages weren't enough to keep a household going, look after her 2 year old daughter, pay rent, buy baby clothes for when the new baby comes, pay utility bills etc.

 

I had £1000 coming in and £700 going out just on rent and Council Tax - to give you an idea of how tight things became. My girlfriend only worked 16 hours a week but the wage wasn't great.

 

Anyway, on Christmas Eve i had 2 letters turn up from NDR Money debt collectors. One amount for £1100 from Littlewoods and the other amount of £700 from Very.

 

Unfortunately i have no way of paying the debt unless it is around probably £2 a week - which they'd laugh at. Money is far too tight, even more so now my partner has gone on to maternity leave.

 

I did ring Littlewoods and Very in the summer of 2010 and ask for a payment plan, they accepted. Littlewoods reduced my payments from £110 to £82 every 21 days. That was just a kick in the teeth. I paid it the first couple of months but gave up after that due to finances and now i'm in the position i'm in.

 

What's my best plan now? If possible, a list of things to do would be great along with copies of any letters i need to send.

 

I started my own thread after reading lots of posts about what to do in other people's cases but really wanted to get things right and sorted for the new year and for when our baby is here.

 

Any help would be mega appreciated.

 

PS. Don't bother giving me the old lecture on how i should pay the debt as it's mine and i shouldn't have got into the debt in the first place and this, that and the other because believe me, i've been doing it for the last few months of 2010 and it's not got me anywhere! Sorry for the massive post.

Hi lessen

 

Happy New Year and welcome to CAG

 

No one is here to judge you, all be it for different reasons we're all in the same boat

 

Here's a link to the CAB I & E form . .

 

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/d_budget_sheet.pdf

 

Fill it in and get a good idea of exactly where you stand and if it comes down to the fact that without leaving yourselves in financial hardship you can only offer very small token payments there really is bugga all a the DCA's can do

 

DCA's love to huff/puff and threaten but that's about it and if you've offered and make payments based on your circumstances should they get greedy and go to Court (long way off yet) the Judge will not take their actions too kindly

 

Get the figure work done and go from there BUT do not talk to them over the phone do everything in writing as that way they can't go back on agreements made, there's a great letter that some of the really experienced caggers know of re working out how much you can aford and I'm pretty sure that someone post it for you

 

You're in charge not them

 

Regards and good luck

 

R

 

ps . . I'm of the "Do not" send anyone your I & E club but as in any discussion others disagree . . it's up to you to decide

Hi all,

Don't bother giving me the old lecture on how i should pay the debt as it's mine and i shouldn't have got into the debt in the first place and this, that and the other because believe me, i've been doing it for the last few months of 2010 and it's not got me anywhere! Sorry for the massive post.

 

In all my years on this forum I've yet to see anyone other than the odd DCA troll who soon gets found out state the comments above.

 

People get into debt through various reasons and nobody should be judged, the fact you have mentioned repaying it shows you are not trying to wriggle out of anything or get a free ride so to speak.

 

Right onto the serious stuff.... you really do need to do a proper I&E so you can see exactly how much money you will have at the end of the month. Your creditors can whinge/moan and basically write letters/phone but if you aint got the money you cant pay it back...simples!

 

Ensure you are covering all your priority debts first and then we can look at what you can AFFORD to pay these people, not what they want I'm sure but tough on them, they have to take the bad with the good in this climate I'm afraid.

 

The downside of course is that your credit rating will take a massive hit for some time and you will get lots of post and phone calls but at the end of the day without taking you to court its all hot air.

 

The links in my signature detail how to deal with debt and this broadly follows the nationaldebt helpline's advice.

Thanks for both your quick replies.

 

I'll fill out the I&E sheet for my own reference but would it help for you to see it too?

 

I'm glad it's not a judgemental site as to be honest, i never meant to get into debt troubles but life changes in a flash.

 

Why wouldn't you do the I&E sheet?

You're welcome

Only a Court/Judge has a legal right to see your I & E so the general opinion is keep them to yourself and don't send them to a DCA

 

I'm glad it's not a judgemental site as to be honest, i never meant to get into debt troubles but life changes in a flash.

 

If the odd person preaches there's a good chance thet have some kind of vested interest in the Debt Collection Industry (A Troll) the average cagger has been there and either has or is coming out the other side

 

Why wouldn't you do the I&E sheet?

 

As above

 

 

Once you've worked things out if it means offering £1 so be it, you three are more important than those chasing you

Even when these companies and I have good experience with NDR spouting threats they never carried out, a lot of threats, but they gave up when I politely insisted they except £1.00 a month and if you still insist on court, go for it. I have been reassured a judge will only take what can afford and do you think that will be more than £1.00 in my case.

 

They funny enough rather than take the £1.00 dropped the case back to original creditor and Ive not been stressed since. I recorded there calls so can prove I offered an ammount and it was them who left it. But you could with income and expenditure offer the 1.00 in writing and remind them they are not a priority debt so please accept and stop any interest that may be acruing if it is.

 

Dont be silly like I was and listen to their baseless threats on the phone as much as you say switch off from it, it does cause stress so best to always write.

 

Good luck.

If you read through the blog entries in my signature you'll see that an I&E CAN be a good weapon against a DCA but whatever you decide knowledge is power so to speak so read them and then understand what can be done.

I've just done the I&E sheet including mine and my partners details. We literally have £213 to live off once all bills are paid.

 

This doesn't include a monthly agreement with: Landlord (incorrect rent paid by housing benefit), Income Support (overpaid my girlfriend £700 3 years ago and want it back), Council Tax (couldn't pay it due to tax credits not being sorted for 8 weeks or more when i first moved in - my girlfriend wasn't receiving any benefits at this point and we couldn't afford to pay it even with our wages). All of which we are aware of but have agreed with each that we won't pay anything until we are back on top.

 

What is the best thing to do about NDR then? I've heard about 'unenforceable' debt with them.

Ok, imho the unenforceability angle has been put to bed by some recent rulings in the courts in so far as claimants are concerned, unless you suffered some real predujice by these technical breaches if they existed.

 

This is a self help site so people will assist but not spoon feed the answers, only you know your true situation and the consequences to yourself.

These are priority debts and should be included in your I&E, if you are to repay NDR then these need to be taken into account prior to paying NDR anything imo. Do you have solid agreements in place with these creditors to hold off payments for a set time or is it an informal arrangement?

To find out if enforceable you need to request a true copy of the credit agreements and enclose a £1.00 postal order. If you go to the template section of the site you will find the cca request template. I am terrible at links so another poster might post it up later, but they have to reply within certain time.

 

Age of account when catalogue matters as well as a lot of the older accounts didnt have the credit agreements done properly and therefore unenforceable, again read the links related to the shadow, will help you.
