    • 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.

Just got a message from the court, moved from 10am to 2pm. This messes up what I told work. Can I request a change back or another day? Pretty sure it's on the request of Lowell sending someone from North to a South coast court.

Thanks Andy,

yeah manageable,

 

I don't have to worry about them changing terms on me and I learnt a lot.

 

Especially when the judge and solicitor were going at each other quoting parts of CCA, CPR and SAR/Data legislation.

I'm sure they'll be a next time...

 

Thanks to everyone for the responses.

No a Tomlin does not admit the debt

As there is no judgement....

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

How do the proceedings on the day move from your witness statement,

which is asking for evidence that the debt exists,

to a Tomlin order,

the acceptance of which indicates that you are admitting the debt?

 

My problem was that my defence relied on them having not responded to my CCA or with the info I would have required to reasonably accept that I owed the debt and for that amount (and is legally required under CCA). They supplied the info I was saying I didn’t have in my defence at last minute. This meant I either went infront of the judge and argued they acted unreasonably but in reality they had the info they needed to probably get the CCJ. With the Tomlin I keep the CCJ off my record, they can’t just change terms on me and it’s a very affordable rate.

How did you ask for the Tomlin?

 

Simply suggest it...either before the hearing or on the day if their counsel attends.

Yes. Mine was a bit dodgy from the debt collector and the judge didn't like their behaviour and since the judge has to agree the order she broke the session to get more answers from the DC before agreeing to it.

 

On the letter that was backdated (that I received last week) the DC suggested to pay the whole amount or a Tomlin. I called the DC the day before the trial to discuss options, but they basically said "pay in full is the only option or you can ask the judge for a Tomlin". Then on the day of trial I called again and the DC added £210 for the solicitor and again said "pay in full".

 

The solicitor arrived and discussed options with me. I accepted a Tomlin, but when we got in front of the judge she wasn't happy. I don't know if I'd have won and not had a CCJ, but she was questioning how they got to the final figure and the fees. She wasn't happy about me not getting the info.

 

The DC was trying to say I had acted unreasonably by not responding (and so could add the extra charges) and saying I could have still settled a day earlier, but the judge was having none of it saying that payment in full wasn't a reasonable offer. I think the judge basically alluded that due to the 4-5yrs it took them before any attempt of action, the late sending of info and the fact I hadn't been given enough time to negotiate she would have removed all extra fees and probably have discounted some damages to me. This is when the judge and solicitor were going at it. To be fair the solicitor knew his stuff and did argue around the difference of CPR and SAR legislation etc.

 

I don't know what would have happened if I tried to defend it. Like I say, they had the info they needed, but they provided it at really ;ate notice. I don;'t know if this would have been enough for the judge not to award in their favour.

How did you ask for the Tomlin?

 

If I did it again and had more time I would try to ask for the Tomlin on a much reduced overall amount before we got to court

(assuming they had all the info that meant I would likely lose in court).

 

In my case because the DCA had already paid for the solicitor to attend and they had all the info they needed by this point so they were less flexible with me.

 

I had tried to ask for 50% total and they did go and check if acceptable so this probably wasn't out of the realm of possibility if done earlier.

 

Unsure if other more experienced people agree with this approach.
