    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help 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.

Just received a "notice of proposed allocation to small claims track" from Lowell??.....

1. This is now a defended claim

2. It appears that the case is suitable for allocation to the small claims track

3. You must by 8 September complete small claims directions questionnaire and file with the county court

 

What does it mean?.... Should I ring Bryan carter's back regarding the consent order?!

Hi sorry for ressurrecting this thread but ..

..ive just rang up bryan carters to pay an instalment over the phone.

..only to be told sorry its been passed to lowell solicitors..

 

 

.rang lowell solicitors to be told ah yes blah blah debt of £7000 odd whatever.

..I said err no try half that.

...to which they were a bit stumped.

 

 

off he goes to look for the details "oh we dont have the consent order...we tried to get a copy from the court but theyve lost it...can you email us a copy?"

I said err no....

 

Now im sat wondering what on earth i do..

..i said hold on im paying £20 a month to the same account since 2014..

.and now you're trying to say i owe £7000 odd when i have a consent order

 

 

so am I paying money to a debt i dont have as thats not the right amount.

.and how can you chase a debt with incorrect details??

 

Can anyone help me as i now dont want to make this payment if its going to mean im paying a debt that is not enforceable or if it means im technically agreeing i owe the larger amount by paying it?

you pay what the consent orders says and only that amount.

 

 

ideally you should ever be ringing these muppets

why cant you pay by standing order using your banks interweb portal

Bryan Carters Solicitors ceased trading in 2015

I would be asking for a statement of your payments since that date .....particularly as Lowells seem to have a different figure .

Ok but do i still pay the usual payment today?

 

Also....what is the reason for asking for payment history?

They said every payment ive made has been received each month.

 

The account has been passed through bryan carter then frederickson then lowell solicitors.....

but the original consent order is for lowell portfolio i think.

 

Is there a beneficial purpose to getting a payment history?

 

Thank you

Yes so you can account for the correct balance and that all your payments have been received/passed on.Make your normal payment to Lowell today.

 

The only reason I suggest getting a statement is you stated they said you owe £7k you said try half of that..that suggests to me that payments may have gone adrift ?

Ok i understand, i have a record of every payment ive made via my bank so i presume that is enough.

 

By 'half of that' i mean the consent order was for approx half of that.

 

 

The original amount they wanted before they agreed to the CO was £7/8000

I was trying to understand if the debt had been 'sold on' or whatever it is they do and whether the CO still stands or if that meant something wasnt right (as in how can someone else take it over).

 

Sorry...because i dont know the terms of things and how they work i wasnt sure how to word the question.

 

I read that sometimes DCAs sell on debt and means it isnt enforceable...thats sort of what i was trying to work out.

 

I know where they get the £7000 from

- its the original amount they chased up.

..but the CO wasnt for that

i was concerned why it had suddenly reverted back to that when theres a CO.

Thank you

Ok thank you dx. I was wondering why it had changed back not what it is,

its the original amount tgey tried tp collect before the CO was agreed at approx half.

Thats fine as long as you have all your paperwork for payments made and know exactly what the true balance is...thats all that matters...and keep that copy of the Consent Order safe.

Hi

I could kick myself for this but

 

Ive stupidly forgotten to sort out a debt that I was previously flipping paying as it was a Consent order!

 

Id stopped paying whilst trying to deal with that debt and many others,

reason i stopped was because they stated I owed more when the consent order wasnt for that amount but then were saying couldnt find consent order, also then it moved hands....its just a complete accidental mess.

 

Ive literally found a letter today wedged under my doormat it must have been there a while,

stating a CCJ has been registered but I knew nothing about it.

 

I was even paying this consent order from Australia...

this has just been a total mess up from me by forgetting to ring the court and get the details of the consent order to prove the agreed amount.

 

Is there anything I can do.

 

Its a huge huge debt, I was just getting myself sorted and have epically failed..
