    • 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

 

Apologies if this isn't right as i'm new to the forum as i'm looking for some advice.

 

I saw that others have had a similar experience to me and was hoping you could help me too.

 

Last week I had a Sheriff Officer at my door who in the end put the form through in regards to the Simple Procedure Claim relating to a debt from 2012.

 

This got me concerned which led me to do a bit of searching on the internet for advice.

 

The debt came from a time when I took on far to much and in the end couldn't afford to make payments.

Yep, it was a stupid decision and one i've regretted for the last few years and this particular one is from Isme for approx £614 I believe, would need to double check the form.

 

I actually think that the debt is Statute Barred, based on when i made the last payment which i think was back in 2012 from what i have on my bank statement.

 

Capquest are claiming that the last payment was in July 2013,

however i also had a very account which i was making payment to and the account number on the form is for Isme, which was different.

 

As the payments were to Shop Direct as a whole would this be counted as my last payment even though it's a different account?

 

I do know that Isme is now essentially Very and doesn't exist anymore.

When i signed into my account it was via the very website,

although I had to choose the separate account number for Isme.

 

When I get home i can post more information if required although any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

go ring shop direct and using the ISME account number

as the last payment date.

 

I would pretty much guess the debt IS statute barred and thus totally extinguished under Scottish law

as cabot often make this mistake in making Scottish claims.

 

when you get home

complete this too please:

The said assignation was intimated to the respondent by way of a written notice on or around 23/07/2013.

3. The agreement between the respondent and the original owner upon which this action is based was regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Further information in relation to that agreement is contained in section D4,

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No

 

Hi again

 

i've called Very/Isme and they said that they were unable to give me any payment information as the account has been sold.

They proceed to give me a number which i've double checked is the DCA.

 

Also,

thinking back,

i'm quite sure that i took the item out on a BNPL and within the 12 months i ran into the financial difficulty and didn't actually make a payment.

 

As mentioned earlier,

there was nothing on my bank statement to show a payment to this particular account,

although i had continued making payments to very throughout 2012 to a different account until i couldn't afford to anymore.

Not sure where i stand with this?

 

I've copied in the information asked for below too.

 

Thanks again

can you go get a copy of your credit file

and see what date is shown for last payment please and that those two accounts are showing as separate [very/isme - they are sep trading names of shop direct]

and the defaulted date please

 

can I also check that your were resident in Scotland when you took this catalogue out?

 

....................

 

go ring ISME again.

 

ask for the same info.

 

if they refuse again stating its been sold...

 

tell them under the prevention of fraud act

and

the data protection act

that they MUST legally hold details for 6yrs and to stop messing you around

ask to speak to a supervisor should the phone jockey refuse

 

tell the super that unless you get the info you will be ringing the information commissioners office 1st thing you put the phone down and making a formal complaint and will seek compensation too.

 

as for the form

 

for the minute not much to do or needed

Morning dx

 

i only use clearscore i'm wondering if there's maybe another site that can give me more of this information?

 

Checking the details it's showing that my last payment was apparently in June 2013,

however I know that definitely wasn't the case.

 

I'm wondering why it's showing as this,

could that have anything to do with it being BNPL?

 

I can't see a defaulted date,

that's why i'm thinking i might be best signing up to another site?

Also, it is definitely showing as a separate account.

 

Yeah, i was definitely living in Scotland when i took this out.

In fact, I was living at my old address why i took this out,

i moved earlier this year,

and everything is showing as the old address as you would expect.

 

I'll give Isme a call back some time throughout today with the information you've provided if i'm having any more trouble.

 

Just to confirm, it was just as i thought.

It wasn't easy getting the information from Shop Direct,

i had to quote the things you'd advised which were very helpful.

 

In the end,

the person i spoke with had to contact a "specialist" team who confirmed that since the account was opened in February 2012 no payments were made toward the account.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi dx

 

Thanks again, i'm grateful for your help.

 

I'll look through the thread and follow everything as you've said. I assume because of the information I've gathered I won't have to find out more from any credit file providers anyway?

 

The term dead gone parrot sound great to me in this instance.

no in a way its makes no odds..its extinguished end of!!

 

but

its shows 2 things:

that capquest continue to believe the cause of action is the defaulted date [wrong!]

and that if their submission is to be believed.

 

they bought the debt 23/7

well theres not the statutory 14 days from the defaulted date to the selling date

so the Default notice is invalid or someone is lying...knowing capquest..the latter.

Great! The latter does seem more likely considering that there was no payment made.

 

Shall I just press ahead as normal based on the thread you've mentioned above? I'll take a look at everything and fill in the necessary areas. As it mentions in the thread, do I have to send a copy to capquest as well?

Hi dx, sorry for the delay i've been really busy with work.

 

I'm just getting round to filling in the form just now, by following the link above, and do i just write exactly what's in D1 and D2 of the attachment? It says about having to put key dates etc. in D1 and just want to be clear.

 

Also, when i photocopy one, shall i send it to shoosmiths or capquest? I don't want to mess anything up.

 

Thanks again for your advice.

Ok, thank you. Sorry, I just want to ensure that i don't do anything wrong.

 

Do i just enter this into D1 then?

 

1. The claimant has averred on their Claim Form that they hold the signed agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 dated 31/03/2015. A CCA request section 7? was sent recorded delivery on [date]. To date the claimant has failed to comply & is in default of said request.

 

2. The respondent is unaware of any default notice served under section .. of the consumer credit act

Morning DX

 

Thanks again.

 

Sorry i'd had a bit of a stressful day yesterday and it wasn't making much sense to me, I think, I hope anyway that the penny has now dropped after looking at it again.

 

The information i'd copied in above was actually in the Simple Procedure response form in D2, however I see now the information you've put in the other thread in regards to Statue Barred. If i'm right in thinking all I have to put into any box is the below into D1?

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barredicon pursuant to the provisions of The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973, Section 6

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract,

in excess of 5 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

under scottish laws the debt is now extinquished

.

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

 

Sorry and thanks again for your patience, was having a bit of moment, or actually a few last night.

I'll get these sent off asap. Just reading the form i have again, it says send a copy to the sheriff court and the claimaint. Throughout this thread we've said send to shoosmiths, however should i send a recorded copy to Capquest instead or both?

 

Side note, great album alongisde your name by the way. Brilliant!

it would be far better if you could hand deliver the court copy to the clerks office and get it checked IF at all possible.

my bad the copy goes the claimant.

leave email/phone off their copy and you don't have to sign theirs either.

 

it can go 2nd class with free proof posting from any PO counter

there no legal requirement to do anything other than prove you posted it to them.

Hi dx

 

That's it done.

 

Handed in the form to the sheriff court on Monday and sent them off to Capquest.

 

I did ask what would happen next as it's SB and they said it's up to the sheriff.

 

More than likely there will be a hearing but they'll be in touch, although it can take quite a few weeks.

 

Fingers crossed all goes well now. I'll keep you posted.

 

Thanks again for all your help.
