    • 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.

Hi I am new to the forum but have been looking at similar posts etc to try and get my head around my situation etc.

This site is incredible and has given me the confidence to fight my alleged debts.

 

I entered a DMP in 2004 as got into financial difficulty due to numerous factors.

all the debts were obviously taken out prior to this probably late 1990s or early 2000s at the latest.

 

 

I have dumped the DMP as 12 years on nothing seems to have changed.

Was originally told that I would be debt free in 6 years but that's another story.

I have SAR'd the DMP company.

 

I am sending CCA requests for any credit card/loan debt.

Also have a overdraft debt with Lloyds - sending then a SAR.

 

 

List of debts below any advice greatly accepted.

All below defaulted 2004

M and S Loan now Robway £8k

Halifax CC now Cabot £4.5k

Lloyds CC now PRA Group £4k

MBNA CC now Link £4k

Barclay Card (EGG) CC now Cabot £3k

Barclay Card (Morgan Stanley) now Link £2

Capital One CC now Lowell £2k

Lloyds Loan now Cabot £580

Lloyds Loan now Apex £400.

 

Also my DMP provider put my Lloyd's current account/overdraft on the DMP without informing first saying because I had debts with Lloyds on the DMP then I couldnt bank with them - that was in 2007.

 

I am more than capable of handling the CCA requests etc

but will probably need some help with checking the agreements when they come back.

 

 

Also seems like the DCA's are escalating a lot to court these days.

Again I will have no issue defending any claim that can be defended with some assistance if possible.

 

Thanks in advance.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

All clear most dropped off in 2010 the overdraft dropped off in 2012 i think. Incidentally whats the best course to take with the overdraft (Lloyds now Apex) I know you cant send a CCA but is there anything I can send Apex - I have sent a SAR to Lloyds.

I bet pretty much all of them are unenforceable. Get a CCA going to each of them

You cant cca for an overdraft as there is no credit agreement as such.

 

However, in your previous post, you have referred to the apex(lloyds) as a loan?

 

Could you clarify please?

they are a DCA that does not buy debts

who in this case are the original creditors LLoyds.

 

 

only the OWNER of a debt can do court.

  • 2 months later...

Quick update in case anyone in same situation as me.

 

Was actually in the DMP for 14 years after checking:sad: meaning default dates were late 2002 early 2003 for most. I have CCA'd all DCA in November and SAR'd all OC in December

 

Lloyd's CC now PRA Group £4k - PRA returned my CCA from 1999 - illegible and they themselves have deemed it UE until they receive other documents. Also saw from my SAR that they requested the DN but were informed by the OC they did not have a copybiggrin.gif

 

MBNAlink3.gif CC now Link £4k - Reply off link regarding CCA from 2001 - no CCA so also UE :-D - already knew this from the SAR. They also reimbursed my £1 fee.

 

Halifax and Barclaycard have not replied to my SAR request within 40 days - is there a letter template I can send them?

 

Just waiting for other CCA's to come back to see what action to take on other accounts.

 

Thanks to all for the advice given so far.

If they have not replied to your CCA request then I would ignore and wait UNLESS they send anything like a letter before action which is when you write back saying

 

On xxxxxx I sent a lawful CCA request, to date you have not replied.

 

 

 

You can if you wish add the bit

 

As I am assure you are aware according to S77(4) or S78(6) while a S77/78 request is outstanding the account becomes unenforceable.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I am not so hot on how to deal with overdrafts. I am just keeping my head down on both of mine, they will be statute barred before I start earning again, middle of next year.

 

Interestingly though , one of them issued me a S87 Default Notice and not a termination notice, it is littered with bank charges as well which, with interest would just about wipe it out.

 

I think I am fortunate in some ways in that I have had no income other than benefits or student loans now for nearly 7 years and stopped paying everything in January 2012.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
