    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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 LGIS, [short for letsgetitsorted],

 

My Default Notice is similar to yours. I received a lot of help on this thread which I believe you could too. I posted the link below. The default notice does not appear to have the creditors address, is missing prescribed text and does not appear to be dated.

 

(the date on the accompanying separate letter dated is NOT acceptable as a date for the purposes of the default notice, which is a stand alone document

 

in short it's pants

 

any demand for payment in full of the outstanding balance of the account thereafter would be an unlawful repudiation

What date is written on your Default Notice?

Hi Fretful

thanks for your input on this on, the only date is on the covering letter of which is 15th April.

having received the notice yesterday 14days takes it to 3rd may which is a bank holiday so would this mean that the actual date for rectifying the breach would actually be Friday 30th

Can Anyone give me some advise on where to go with this one.

 

I asked Vanquis for my for my signed credit agreement last year, never received it,

done DSAR this came back incomplete.

 

finally they defaulted the account on the back of a dodgy DN, and then a few days ago sold the account to Cabot.

 

who are now asking for the Balance of which £700 were charges added whilst the account was in serious dispute,

not only that they, are adding 12% interest.

 

so what will be the best way to deal with these muppets who purchased a debt that was in serious dispute.

all and any advise will be greatly received......THANK YOU

Letsgetitsorted.Hi I guess you sent your CCA request by recorded?

 

The SAR you say came back incomplete,can you tell us what was missing.

 

As the account was in dispute and the CCA and SAR did not produce an agreement or a reconstituted version of the agreement and no T&CS then advise Cabot that they purchased a debt that was in serious dispute,and they are well aware, OFT guidelines clearly state this must not happen,and suggest they return the account to Vanquis.

 

Being Cabot they will give you a load of reasons why they shouldnt,if this happens come back and we can help with the next move.

Hi FS

The CCA was missing not even a reconstituted one,

 

they sent their latest terms and conditions and not the one for when the account was activated,

no statements or account transactions, no copies of any and every letter i sent them,

 

no terms and conditions, no records of calls that i made to them, no breakdown of charges and interest..

 

....so in all quite a lot missing..

 

..they sent one set of info that included a sheet that said repayment protection insurance,

 

this was crossed out and had written in was repayment option plan..

 

..however they sent another set of the same that included a sheet that said repayment protection insurance.

so not only where charges in dispute but so where the payments for the insurance.

 

..vanquis then sent a DN which wasnt a valid one, mine is exactly the same as this on bare the amounts.

there we have it FS where too from here....i was actually thinking of sending Cabot a DSAR to see what they come up with.

 

cheers for you help.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with them adding interest and charges to an account despite you believing that there is a 'dispute'. Can I ask what makes you think that they can't do this?

firstship,

 

Sorry but you are mistaken on this point. Selling a debt is NOT debt collection, it is merely the sale of a debt.

nicklea you are probably correct as the debt has been sold rather than a DCA acting for the OC.Need to check this with OFT

 

 

Lets do the same thing that you did with Vanquis CCA and SAR Cabot,Vanquis could not comply so there is a good chance Cabot cannot either.

Hi Nicklea

 

 

when the account went into dispute i was paying the minimum payment,

 

but charges where loaded and loaded and loaded some more on top of that the interest rate went up as well as their "repayment option Plane" PPI.

 

so dispite paying i was getting charged more and they took the bare minimum to make sure more charges where added..

 

. so yes too right i think they are in the wrong.

Lets,Hi,been giving your thread some thought today.Cabot purchased the debt from Vanquis while this account was in serious dispute.So Cabot have purchased the debt,the dispute and the charges that where made unlawfully(or in contravention of OFT guidelines}

 

This being the case(remember Cabot have paid peanuts for this debt )TRY telling them in writing just that,and that you have no intention of paying any further money until the dispute(name all those items that are missing the agreement etc) and the removal of all charges and interest.Might be lucky to get all these items,

 

In my thread line NO7 I said CCA and SAR Cabot,DO NOT do this you have paid once

 

Wish you all the best FS

Lets ,good things are moving,lets see what the result is,at the present just wait,as they have acknowledged it will take time,then you do not have to pay,been having a very similar chat with Godmother over Cabot on another thread

Lets remember you paid Vanquiis for the info,you put them in dispute so Cabot purchased the debt so they need to comply and they have confirmed this in their email reply.Got to say Cabot are not the best with the speed of their replies,just dont pay them and make it clear why.I think you are at this point anyway

Fs.

indeed i am,

 

this all started in October 2009 when i received a county court claim from cohen,

 

that panic me bit, but with the help from here and all those who had been in a simmular situation

 

i managed to sort it and the debt got wiped and my credit file entry amended,

 

hence followed guidance and requested all of my CCAs and so far none have come up trumps.

 

the easiest i had to deal with was Lowell they sent a bill i asked to prove the account and supply CCA,

they couldnt account closed credit file amended took all of about 7 weeks,

and this was all down to the great advise from everyone here.

....THANK YOU..

....so i will not let Cabot get the upper hand, even if they come up with the CCA, the account was closed on the back of a Doggy DN.

 

..not to mention the charges and PPI whilst the account was in dispute.

 

....i will keep you updated on this..

..see where it leads.

 

...Many Thanks for you support always appreciated.

Are you saying this is ALL for the Same account or different ones?

Also remember Cabot are NOT obligated to provide the information u are missing Vanquis is. U can make a formal complaint to the ICO re the lack of info in the SAR. Also u can start legal action against them for it aswell. tho the legal action maybe the quickest the courts can order u pay the cost of the other side. I know when l made a complaint over the phone and requested info they were 18 months behind and was advised court action might be quicker.

 

I would fire off a complain to the ICO this is there website. http://www.ico.gov.uk/

hi All

Well this is what i have just had back from Cabot

Any thoughts anyone.???

 

[quoteFirstly, I note your concerns relating to your previous Subject Access Request ("SAR"), which you state was made to Vanquis, the original lender. I note from our records that we responded to advise you we have contacted Vanquis to investigate your concerns and upon receipt of their response we would contact you again. Vanquis have confirmed that your SAR was fully complied with on 10th March 2010. In addition, they have advised that you previously made a request for information pertaining to your account, pursuant to section 77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the relevant information was sent to you on 31st December 2009. As a result, Vanquis no longer consider your account to be in dispute.

 

As you are already aware, a SAR is made in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 ("DPA") and as such, Vanquis' legal obligation under the DPA is to provide you with all information they hold on their files and relevant filing systems. Therefore, with regards to your comments relating to documentation that was missing from your SAR, if this information was not held on file, then there would be no requirement to include this in your SAR. In light of this, should you remain disatisfied with the informaiton that Vanquis has provided regarding your account, I would request that you refer this matter to them directly.

 

In addition, I note your SAR to Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd ("Cabot"). However, in order for us to proceed, we require a payment of £10.00, which is the statutory fee for this request. Therefore, please forward your cheque or Postal Order made payable to Cabot in order for us to continue and upon receipt of the same, we would be happy to supply you with the information that you have requested. However, I must reiterate that should Cabot not hold a copy of your credit agreement or terms and conditions on file, then this information would not be included in your SAR. Furthermore, Cabot does not hold details of any Payment Protection Insurance ("PPI") on file, as we are not the original PPI administrator. Therefore, we recommend you specifically request the same from Vanquis, should you still require this information.

So now part of the STANDARD account information kept on file and in the relivant filing systems DOES NOT include payment made lists of charges etc. ROLEX.

Vanquis have to supply you with all this info and if they dont the ICO can make them supply it and can compense you for not doing it.
