    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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

I had a credit card with TSB in 1983.

 

In 2006 because of an accident I could only pay £5 per month to the outstanding balance of app £10,000.

I still pay this £5 today by standing order to TSB.

 

I received a few letters from Cabot telling me they bought the debt from TSB,

but I ignored them and continued to pay my £5, that I had agreed with TSB to the TSB.

 

Today I get a letter from FIRE saying to make them a reasonable offer.

 

I checked noodle credit report as advised in the CAG forum and TSB are not listed on my credit file.

 

The debt says it is cabot that own it, but I have never dealt with Cabot.

 

I was wondering what to do next and any advice please.

Lol they agreed £5 so keep it at that!!! :)

 

Okay, have you ever been sent a statement of how much is owing?

 

They are legally obliged to provide you with this. on a minimum of a yearly basis. OOI... Did you continue to pay £5 to Lloyds or change it to Cabot?

If Lloyds have sold this debt, there could be something very very wrong!!!

I still pay £5 per month to TSB by standing order and have never acknowledged Cabot.

There is no mention of TSB on my credit file, only Cabot.

 

What do you mean if Lloyds have sold this debt then there could be something very wrong?

 

In other threads I have read to send a letter to find out if they have the original agreement, but who do I sent it to ?

In 1983 I was given a cheque guarantee card which also acted as a credit card by the TSB.

 

In 2006 after having an accident and a change to my life circumstances

I could only pay £5 per month to this card and have been doing this ever since by standing order.

The debt is approx £10000.

 

This past year I have been receiving letters from Cabot and just ignored them and continued to pay my £5 per month to the TSB.

 

Now I have received a letter from FIRE.

 

I have been looking about these forums and saw that you could look at noodle for details of your credit file.

 

I checked with noodle and there is no mention of TSB,

just the company Cabot with defaults on the approx debt of £10000.

 

I would appreciate some help what to do with TSB, Cabot and FIRE,

and advise on whether I should cancel my standing order to TSB.

 

Thanks

Hi pat5y, and welcome to CAG! :-)

 

I am literally running out the door, but will be back later. In the meantime, others may come in and help too.

 

What does the letter from FIRE say?

 

I assume you have not so far asked for a copy of the original credit agreement?

 

Have TSB continued to add interest to this debt?

Hi, This debt has been sold on to Cabot Financial a debt purchaser, Fire are its collections arm.

TSB now have no interest in this account.

 

What is the content of the letters from Cabot/Fire please.

Do not cancel payments yet.

 

Your next move is to make A CCA Request under Sections 77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 to get a copy of the agreement for this card.

 

There is a £1 statutory fee for this and Cabot have 12 + 2 Working Days to comply, there is a template in the CAG library for you to use.

 

The fee is best paid by using a £1 postal order marked clearly 'for statutory fee only'.

 

Get this done asap and come back when you get the result.

As far as I am aware obtaining any form of copy of the original agreement may be a problem in this case

as the agreement dates from 1983.

 

I believe Cabot are allowed to supply a copy of the current t&cs.,

if the agreement was executed before May 1985

and they are unable to supply a copy of the original.

 

Was there any PPI on your ac?

If the debt was £10000 and has been sold then there is somethign very VERY wrong with it. No creditor would wipe that amount off. They would take you to court over it themselves.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

If the debt is no longer being reported on your credit file it is because the default was placed more than 6 years ago.

 

Did you not receive a Notice of Assignment from either LTSB or Cabot advising the account had been assigned (sold) to them ?

Thank you all for taking the time to reply to my post.

 

Interest is no longer being added to this debt and I don't think their is any PPI.

 

The letter from fire says make us a reasonable offer by a certain date either one off payment or payment plan as a final attempt to resolve the matter and stop further action.

 

I have had no letter from TSB saying they have sold the debt on.

 

Does CCA mean credit card agreement?

 

Thanks for your help !

Cabot replied to me stating they do not hold the information I requested under the CCA1974. They will anticipate they will be able to provide the information within 40 days as they have requested the info from the original lender.

Tell them NO 12 +2 working days no more after which the account will be formally in dispute and no further correspondence will be entered into.

Thank you Brigadier2jcs

 

Letter was sent to them on the 11/11/13 and I received the above reply yesterday. Do I still tell them no 12+2 woring days no more after which the account will be formally in dispute and no further correspondence will be entered into? If answer is yes, why would I not enter into anymore correspondence with them?

Yes you do tell them that. Also you won't enter your into any more correspondence with them as they have failed to provide the correct documents pursuant to this *supposed debt*

 

It's up to them to prove you owe it, not you to prove you don't.

 

Just to clarify... 40 days is only applicable to a SAR and if you haven't requested it then they can't use that as an excuse to delay getting the CCA

 

We could do with some help from you.

Correct 40 days for a SAR. It is unreasonable to state a 40+ delay for a CCA request provision is made for a short extension of the 12 +2 working days if they have to obtain the copy agreement from the original creditor but certainly not 40 days.

Cabot state in there letter

 

"Thank you for your request under the consumer credit act 1974. Cabot currently does not have this information on file. However we have requested the relevant information under section 77 and/or 78 of the consumer credit act 1974 from the original lender. We anticipate that we will be able to provide this information with in 40 days. In the event we are unlikely to obtain this information within those time limits we will write to you again."

 

They did not send back my postal order.

 

Also I am still paying the TSB £5 per month, as was agreed with the TSB years ago. This is done every month by standing order.

 

Will I know write to Cabot saying 40 days is unreasonable and will now not enter correspondence with them and will I still pay my £5 per month to TSB?
