    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 have read through a number of posts but only managed to confuse myself more, so thought i'd better just post.

 

I have an old HSBC Current Account that I think was sold on in around 2000/2001 (memory a little hazy) to a DCA (but I cannot remember which one) and I paid them £1 a month.

 

Around 2013 Cabot bought the debt and I continued to pay £1 a month.

This was a joint account which they refused to acknowledge,

said it was only in my name and they had no record of my partner on the debt - great!

 

So fast forward to today.

 

I stopped paying them in July this year,

completely forgot as was paying by postal order

- my own fault, and have since received the following letters:

 

05/10/2017

"Welcome to Cabot Credit Management Group that own your HSBC Bank Current Account. We have recently confirmed you are living at the above address and need to make you aware that we are now responsible for helping you manage your account and receiving future payments" Then a bit about contacting them etc.

 

22/10/2017

"We have recently confirmed that you are living at the above address. We do this through a variety of checks, so we're confident we have the correct address for you. We need to talk to you to arrange a repayment plan on your account; we can help you find an affordable solution.

 

06/11/2017

A bit about understanding how it's difficult to clear debt, we want to help etc then "We own your account and are prepared to reduce the balance in order to help you become free of this debt sooner. If you would like to take up this offer call us"

 

I have a couple of questions:

 

I have looked at other forum messages advising sending a CCA but I don't think this would apply to me as its a current account - is that correct?

 

What would be the route for me to follow if I can't go down the CCA road?

 

I've seen some info on pre 2007 agreements - does this have any bearing on my case?

 

Can Cabot put the debt back on my credit file as a default, as i've stopped paying, even though its over 6 years old?

 

I'm sorry for the long post and thank you very much for reading :oops:

Welcome To CAG :)

 

Yes, Current Accounts dont have a CCA and no they shouldnt put the default back on your CRA if after 6 years it has fallen off.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Cabot doesnt chase legit debts. They sent you phishing letters suggesting they have confirmed you live there, but thats it. Go SAR the bank and get the full info on the account and find out why they sold the debt to cabot.

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..

It may well be a joint current account...but a creditor can pursue either of the parties under joint and several terms of the facility...so Carboot not acknowledging its a joint debt is irrelevant.

 

Where parties act together in agreement as partners, they have joint and several liability. In addition to all the partners being responsible together, each partner is also liable individually for the entire agreement. This means a creditor could recover an entire debt from any partner individually, leaving that person to recover their shares from the rest of the partners.

 

I personally would just resume the £1 per month payment possibly until its passed on again.

Thank-you for the responses :-)

 

I have just been fighting through my understairs 'cave' to see if I could find any old paperwork and have come across something more of a timeline - seems the debt is mostly made up from a loan and not overdraft fees at all - this is what i've found:

 

22/11/2001 - Letter from Robinson Way on behalf of First Direct chasing original amount of £4899.03

 

20/02/2002 - Letter from DMA (not sure who they are) with a payment agreement of £20 a month. On that letter i've written loan - £3214.59 & C/A (presumably current account) £1331.57

 

I've also received letters from Cap Quest, HL Legal, Central Debt Enforcement Agency and Keppe and Partners - all pre-dating 2007

 

Typically I can't find all the original Cabot letters but the most recent one states the debt is at £3855.

 

As it was First Direct should I SAR them or HSBC? Also does the fact Cabot are not mentioning that they are chasing a loan and a current account, but lumped it all into 'a current account', make any difference?

ALWAYS always SAR the OC, the fact that Cabrot have lumped the two amounts together, simply means they've not a cats chance in hell of ever getting that enforced in court, because it's two separate agreements, with two completely separate T&C's, including interest rates, penalty fees yadda yadda yadda.

 

You can of course CCA them for the Loan, but as they have lumped two separate accounts together, they're never going to find it, IMHO I'd not pay them a penny.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

So they merged everything into one. Tut tut. Not allowed to do that. No wonder it was sold on.

Oh wow thanks guys - won't lie, just nearly shed a tear of joy at their wrongdoing!! This is the final millstone (all other debtors accepted a settlement figure in 2002) that came from a nasty relationship and I would be overjoyed to not have to worry about it any more.

 

I'll send the SAR off to First Direct then, so i've got all the info I need, and just ignore Cabot for now.

 

Thanks again for your help :)

first direct are HSBC

HSBC had a nasty habit of doing something called a managed loan.

 

they lumped everything together

turned it into a loan

then dump it back into the current account as a massive OD which you never asked for nor agreed to.

 

then they sell it on the DCA fleecers.

 

if you use our search cag box of the red top toolbar

 

hsbc managed loan

 

they've never won a case where we've helped defend it in court

if they are stupid enough to issue one.

 

have YOU written to cabot or any DCA since you've been at your current address?

if not you are in danger of a backdoor CCJ being served to an old address

 

no don't pay them IMHO

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...

Blinkin heck - swines aren't they!

 

No I haven't had any communication with them since 2013 - apart from an email they sent me in February this year, asking me to set up a payment plan, after I changed from paying standing order to postal order. I think I logged into my online account - stupidly! I had a payment plan set up as per their 2013 letter so I just ignored the email.

 

Oh no, a backdoor CCJ worries me - i've worked so hard to restore my credit file and want to buy a house next year so this is a bit of a concern. Would they not have to give reference to a CCJ in the 3 letters they have recently sent to this address?

Yes you can check Trust online, to see if they've got a CCJ against you, costs, £8 I think (?)

 

CHeck your credit file also, and see what's on there if anything.

nope. Only CCJs that have been granted. Meaning it went to court, a order was granted against you and you failed to pay within 28 days after judgement.

 

Your debt has done the rounds of various DCA's so its obvious its well and truely unenforceable. Theyre passing it around ans saying to each other.. here, have a go at this one. Theyre gullible and pays up no questions asked.

Yes they have the correct address now, since the beginning of October. I've no idea where they got it from - possibly one of the free credit checking sites?

 

No, I definitely didn't have an overdraft that big - feel a bit dim that I hadn't realised all this before :|

if they significantly changed your o/d after feb 2011, then the new o/d regs may apply. ie they wld need to have furnished the terms of it. difficult if it was an 'amalgamation'.

a side issue atm to poss consider should things go all the way.

you still need to write to cabot

you have nottold them nor the original creditor of your present address

 

these are phishing letter

 

they typically offer discounts

 

then when you don't respond

they issue a claimform using an old address.
