    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍

    • 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 hope I have posted this in the rigjt place.

 

I wonder if anyone can help me.

 

I was served a default notice by Nationwide in December of 2007 for arrears on a personal loan account.

 

I eventually managed to bring the account up to date but in 2011 defaulted again

and was served a default notice in July 2013.

 

I have read on other threads that an account can not be served with more than one default notice.

 

Is this correct ?

 

if the account was brought up to date then defaulted again?

 

I have the paperwork for both defaults which state different amounts being owed but for the same account.

 

Also if it is correct that I should only have one default

then what should I do to get this changed on my credit file?

 

I am working hard to pay off the amount still owed and also on another couple of debts.

 

I have 3 defaults in total on my CF

but the other 2 are 3 years old so I am half way to cleaning my file.

 

Another question that I have is that

 

it will probably take me another 3 years to clear the debt,

will the monthly DF on my credit file mean that even in 3 years my when the DF fall off

I will still be in a bad position as the debt will only just be paid?

 

Sorry for the multiple questions.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years has passed from date of default,

whether paid off or not.

This is so that someone who continues paying something even after 6 years from default should not be at a disadvantage

to someone who pays nothing after default and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

Hi thanks for the reply, the 2007 default is not showing on my CF but the 2013 one is. So can they do that? Serve 2 defaults on the same account?

 

Essentially it looks like they have defaulted me twice, but only the 2023 one is on my CF. Is this because I defaulted then brought the account up to date then defaulted again?

 

*2013 not 2023 obviously :-D

they cant change the original defaulted date.

 

so if it was defaulted in 2007

and you did not rectify that default in the first 14 days

it would have been registered.

 

when that default reached its 6th birthday the account should have VANISHED

 

complain to them.

does not mean it does not exist

Ok you're probably right.

 

I really need some advice on my debt and where I stand with it all.

 

Could you recommend an organisation that can help?

 

I need to know the best way to clear this debt.

 

One is for an overdraft and I am so I am not even sure how much the monthly repayments should have been.

 

I am getting married this year and I really want this all delt with so I can start a fresh

£850 to M&S credit card,

 

£2240 to Lloyds TSB over draft,

 

£1994 to Nationwide (this is the default account)

 

was made redundant on medical grounds in 2010 due to brain tumour and couldn't pay.

 

Back working full time now.

 

M&S and LTSB have defaults from July and October 2011.

 

I want to know the best way to tackle all of this debt so that I can get my credit performing again as quickly as possible.

 

Any help would be great.

 

No PPI owed on M&S or Nationwide and can't see anything on LTSB that would suggest ppi on the overdraft

I am on a very small repayment plan but it is only £5 a month on each so

 

I will be very old before they clear at this rate.

I am in a position to increase.

 

When I look at my CF it shows as DF each month on these accounts.

 

Would it be best to get them satisfied ASAP or does the monthly df not affect as badly as the main default?

 

I was thinking that if I satisfied them all as soon as possible then it would help then just 3 years till the remaining df notices fall off.

 

I would need to borrow that money from family if I was wanting to pay it all off immediately

and I am not 100% sure that would be an option.

 

I just want to know whether it matters how quickly they are paid now so long has gone past - in terms of my CF

the killer will be the default date in each debt summary.

 

it will matter not what you do

 

paid or not

 

the default remains for 6yrs

 

on the defaults 6th birthday

the WHOLE ACCOUNT VANISHES

paid or not.

 

if you three debts all have defaulted dates in their summary line

paying them off wont improve anything on your rating.

 

bottom line sadly.

 

are these all still with the original creditor & not with DCA's?

Hi Sorry I wasn't alerted that you responded.

 

All accounts are now with DCA's. So

 

if I understand you correctly,

I should just remain on the payment plan that I have as no matter what I pay for the next three years it is not going to improve or worsen my CF?

 

Then I will just continue to pay them the £5 a month if that is the case.

 

Also could you point me in the direction of who to write to, to have the default notice date changed back to the 2007 date on the Nationwide Account?

 

Thank you so much for all of your help,

 

this site is so amazing!

if all your accounts are with DCA's

I would seriously consider a CCA request to everyone of them.

 

in relation to the default date issue

you need to complaint to nationwides compliance manager.

click it and read

 

if whom you pay do not hold the required signed agreements then they have no legal right to demand money from you.

 

DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS

and have

 

NO SUCH BAILIFF LEGAL POWERS

Penalty charges....repeating my stupidity here :???::oops:

 

Oh the BMS has been sold on to Idem Capital Securities

 

Strangely the Nationwide account is still showing on my CF as being with Nationwide but I have letter from KPR showing them as having the debt. I am getting this information from Noddle.

 

So to be clear,

 

I should send CCA requests to KPR and Idem Capital Solutions?

 

I know that M&S don't have a copy of the original signed agreement as I sent them a SAR last year

and all they could supply me with was print outs of statements historically.

 

I am not sure about penalty charges though.

I am pretty sure all of them put penalties onto my accounts for non payment.

 

Also should I be double checking the dates of the defaults?

 

I have no paperwork from any of the other ones showing that they were going to default my account.

 

I am very good at keeping paperwork and I have both DF notices for Nationwide....

 

The M&S card was taken out around 2002,

 

the Nationwide loan was 2005 and

 

the Lloyds TSB account was from 2004...

 

What should I do about the Lloyds TSB overdraft..

.nothing?

for whomever you are paying the M&S card to..send a CCA request.

 

sadly I think on this I think you are being cash cowed.

 

......................

 

as for the Lloyds OD now owned by AK

pers i'd stop payments, but that's your coice

 

if LLoyds sold it years ago

no doubt its 90% bank charges

typical for Lloyds to sell these on

 

i'd start a new thread in the Lloyds forum for this one

then we can get the paperwork up.

Sorry what do you mean by cash cowed?

 

I will send a CCA to M&S,

 

should I also do this for Nationwide?

 

How can I just stop the payments to AK?

 

Will they not come after me?

 

I was very seriously ill and the debts defaulted because I was made redundant on medical grounds with a brain tumor.

 

The debts have caused me to have serious anxiety to the point that I am now agoraphobic.

 

I am scared of these companies and what they will do to me.

 

I couldn't cope with the letters and phone calls starting again....

paying for a debt that does not legally exist.

you said you were paying BMS?

who are you sending the money too?

 

should I also do this for Nationwide?

you cannot CCA a bank account.

 

How can I just stop the payments to AK?

if they have been fleecing you blind you can!

 

Will they not come after me?
