    • 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.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 All,

 

I had started a CCA process with Idem servicing with the OL being Citi Financial. I took out the loan in 2007 and have had a minimum payment going out. All payments have been stopped whilst my CCA request is in process.

 

Idem promptly replied within the set time of 12+2 days with many copies of the signed contract with Citi financial, i just want to make sure that what they have sent is enforceable, if so should i resume my payments and send a F&F offer to them.

 

I have uploaded the documents that were sent to me.

To me, it looks like they only have part of the application form. They also need original t and c's, any changes, and t and c's at termination

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..

Thank you renegadeimp, so do i send another letter back asking for their recent t&cs and also the original copy of the contract?

 

There isnt a termination because it got passed over to Idem, and the account is still open.

Hi DX100uk,

 

I have tried to do what you have asked, but unfortunately my computer doesn't save anything as a PDF doc, I will continue to try doing the multipage thing but so far it has not been working. Is there any other format I can provide for you all to see it?

 

I have tried to upload a multipage word doc but it is still saved as word.

The full app form isnt there. Thats for sure. They have most of it though. Cant see the terms and conditions or a statement of account.

 

IMO its not complete or compliant, but others will tell you for sure.

Thank you for your kind help converting it into a PDF and also removing several info bits that I had missed out! I can upload it again with the figures once again it won't be in a pdf format but I will leave the figures in tact.

Hi dx,

 

 

I have created a multipage word doc with all the same letters provided but all the figures have been left in place. I am unsure at this stage what these documents reflect, enforceable or unenforceable. Hopefully you can shed a bit more light, someone else here believes these docs are not sufficient just after another opinion.

 

I have deleted all the previous uploads to help save on confusion.

 

Thank you for your help.

Well it looks to me as though they have printed out all your payments onto their own headed paper - not sure how that is relevant. There appears to be quite a few administration fees - what are they for ?

 

For a s78 request to be satisfied they need to send you..

 

Copy of or truthful reconstruction of the agreement.

Statement of account

Terms and conditions from inception and currently or at default stage.

 

Whilst they are non compliant with the request, they should not be able to obtain a Judgment against you should they issue a claim (if the account is pre 2007)

 

What is the purpose of your request ? Have they said they will issue a claim against you ?

Hi CitizenB,

 

Thank you for your insight,

 

Regarding the Admin fees, I believe they may have been for late payments or when they had to send a letter out to me , I can't really remember what they are for to be honest.

 

I thought the list of payment breakdown was a statement of the account, as I am unsure what else a statement of account would be?

 

THey haven't said they will claim against me i voluntarily sent a CCA request to see whether IDem have the right documents and agreements for me to be paying them after they took it over from Citi Financial. The ultimate goal was to find out if it is enforceable or not to negotiate a reduced settlement fee. Right now I have stopped payments.

 

I am unsure whether to send out another letter stating that they have not complied and sent across the correct documentation or whether to offer a F&F settlement.

 

What would a Copy of or truthful reconstruction of the agreement be? the original agreement with all all the pages and not just a photo copy of the last signed page?

its current wisdom not to follow a failed CCA

simply invites letter tennis

Did you receive a Notice of Assignment from either the original creditor or Idem ?

 

I am always reluctant to advise people to simply stop payment although if you are experiencing financial hardship, then dropping it to £1.00 and asking for them to cease adding interest is a good move.

 

I wonder if others with more knowledge would say those admin payments are not acceptable ? Perhaps attempt to have them removed from the balance sheet ?

Hi dx,

 

I had taken an initial loan out with citi financial and then increased the amount I borrowed at a later date to pay off money I owed to family, and some credit cards. I believe you are correct it was sold to Idem in 2013.

 

If I was to try and reclaim back the admin fee charges how would this process work?

 

Did you receive a Notice of Assignment from either the original creditor or Idem ?

 

I am always reluctant to advise people to simply stop payment although if you are experiencing financial hardship, then dropping it to £1.00 and asking for them to cease adding interest is a good move.

 

I wonder if others with more knowledge would say those admin payments are not acceptable ? Perhaps attempt to have them removed from the balance sheet ?

 

My account went from Citi Financial to Ardent then to Idem. I don't believe I had any letters from Citi but I think I had a letter from Idem when they took on the account unfortunately in my recent move I lost a lot of the paper work.

 

If I was to try and reclaim the admin to be removed from the balance sheet how would I go about doing this?

 

In a different thread i was advised that I am being a willing cash cow and as a suggestion some said perhaps stop payments until things are clearer and sorted, I only stopped the payment once I received a reply from my CCA.

I would suggest your reclaiming over ALL the accounts merged into this loan

will far outweigh this balance & put money to your pocket too!!

 

 

an sar to citi

p'haps the canadain house address is

in my humble opinion now a must.

 

 

i'll go against my usual advise and suggest p'haps sending Idem a letter

outlining that you are awaiting the return of an sar to citi

as this loan contains a considerable amount of unlawful penalty fees

and

that as it was a refinance of several other citi products

they also contain reclaimable PPI and charges that will almost defiantly wipe the balance out.

Any advice is really appreciated!!

I am thinking of accepting their CCA and setting up a payment plans again and then offer a full and final settlement?

 

HI All,

 

A quick update and hopefully someone can shed some light on whether I have lost this case

and continue making payment or if i should take things forward to the FOC?

If so i have no clue what the next steps would be.

 

if you look at the posts before this,

i had sent a CCA Request and based on advice i sent another letter stating that the t&c sent

were not compliant and informed them that I am waiting on the original lender Citi financial to get back to about the charges,

 

 

they replied today with a final letter stating that I am wrong and they will not put the account on hold/dispute.

If i choose to I can complain to the FOS.

 

I have uploaded all the letters they have sent

please take a look and let me know what the next step should be.

Am quite lost now as to what to do.

Hi Dx,

 

I have uploaded a word document but i cannot convert it to a PDF as my computer wont allow it, i hope this is ok.

 

The contract they have sent looks like the original one i had signed so I am kind of leaning to accepting that this one is legit?
