    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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.

OK, so I don't seem to be able to start a new thread where I would like to (perhaps privileges issue but was able to in the past). So instead I will put up details here and then happy for mod to move it to suitable location under thread title "VICTORY OVER DCA - DEFAULT REMOVED".

 

I need to be a little careful here so won't mention any names, but at this stage I have not signed the proposed full and final settlement offer from the DCA in question at the time of writing this - if I choose to sign then I may be required to remove this post(s).

 

With that out of the way. I had a CC with a bank, they merged/acquired with another bank, they then did the same with a 3rd bank. I carried out a CCA request under S78 with the 3rd bank. I queried the information provided and put the account in dispute and told bank that failure to provide requested information would lead to debt being extinguised. They apparently sold the account (no proof given) to a 3rd party interloper, DCA. DCA pursued me A LOT for the alleged debt of >5,000 but

 

DCA failed to provide a copy of a notice of assignment. First effort was a blank template with no personal details (?!?) and then on second occasion sent me a Notice of Assignment for a different person altogether!! Naughty and I imagine a breach of Data Protection Act. QUESTION - is this reportable to the Information Commissioner and if so what happens to the DCA as a result of being found guilty?

 

The bank never reported a Default but then assigned to the DCA.

 

In light of the above I started charging the DCA for each letter I was obliged to write in response to theirs. Told them they were incompetent and that they must remove any derogatory remarks from CRAs and stop harrassing me for an alleged debt that I ALWAYS denied.

 

As a "gesture of goodwill" the DCA has agreed to write off the full amount that they claim is owing as full and final settlement of any claims, existing or future, against them. I wonder if they are concerned that I may make a claim against them for damages (as in Richard Durkin example)? I am thinking this because in my last letter to them I referenced the Supreme Court decision in the Durkin vs HFC et al case!!

 

Now I am not sure how to proceed. Take the write off as a result and get on with things or go for a small claim for damages, as clearly they know they have no case against me, even though they are trying to kid me by the "gesture of goodwill" garbage.

 

Thoughts anyone?

 

EDIT - I have just checked again and on Noddle the DCA have removed all information already! I have a very recent Credit Report from one of the 3 main CRAs and it states CATEGORICALLY that the bank NEVER applied a DEFAULT to the account. They assigned it after the 6th alleged late payment and then marked as settled. The DCA added a Default dated 7 days after the bank marked it as settled!!! Double naughty!
