    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

Good Afternoon,

 

I am writing her on behalf of my partner (debtor), who is not in a position to write themselves. For ease in translation I will write in the first person.

 

In a nutshell

 

In 2007 I took out an Aqua Credit card.

In 2010 I got in to financial difficulties and defaulted (outstanding balance approximately £1500).

The debt was sold on to CAPQUEST in December 2010.

 

After some correspondence between myself and CAPQUEST I took it upon myself to set up a Standing Order in favour of CAPQUEST for £5.00 per month effective from May 2011.

 

Details of the AQUA account were filed away and buried in the loft years ago and as the Standing Order was being paid from an overlooked bank sub-account I rarely visit (changed banking method),

I forgot all about the debt and Standing Order.

I did not receive any communication from CAPQUEST from this point, even when I told them I was moving.

 

In the intervening period I have moved a couple of times.

I informed CAPQUEST of the first move, but not the second.

To be honest, so many years had passed and with no annual statements or communication with CAPQUEST I forgot they even existed until recently.

 

In October last year I received a letter from CAPQUEST stating they had just purchased the account and requesting I telephone them to discuss repayment.

 

At first,

I thought CAPQUEST were chasing a Statute Barred debt.

I wrote to CAPQUEST stating the account was Statute Barred.

They responded confirming that they had receive a recent payment of £5.00 which confirmed the account was not Statute Barred.

 

After a little digging around in a dusty loft I found my old AQUA file,

where documents confirmed CAPQUEST had been assigned the account in December 2010 (not October 2017 as they were now suggesting),

and a document confirming the outstanding balance of £1503.00 – not the £1976.00 now being claimed.

 

Having established the debt was still ‘live’ and not Statute Barred, I made a CCA request. CAPQUEST returned the attached.

 

I would be extremely grateful if someone could look at the attached and advise if this agreement is valid.

 

Once I have a response, I will continue with the rest of the story and what has happened to date, including the results of a SAR.

 

Many thanks in anticipation…

Thank you dx100uk

- I thought they could add interest?

 

I thought I had read somewhere that not adding interest after the assignment is only a recommendation (in FCA CONC?).

 

I would love someone to signpost me to something that confirms they are not allowed to add interest and charges, as this might give me some leverage.

 

The added interest of circa £500 is a funny one.

They only added it for a specific period and, if my maths is correct, does not appear to relate to interest rates in the original CCA.

 

I will post a lot more detail on the matter of the added interest soon.

 

I need to redact and scan in the statement and consider the response I have received today to a complaint I submitted to CAPQUEST

I have been through all the documents that CAPQUEST have sent me in response to my SAR.

 

There is no DN or TN.

 

I am still checking my old AQUA file, but have not found any DN or TN either.

 

Please find attached a chronology to date.

 

I am still working on it and will amend as documents/events come to light.

 

With regard to the SAR,

the response has missed several documents that I have copies of.

 

Mainly letters I wrote to CAPQUEST.

 

Additionally, there are documents I have never seen before (constructed?)

.Is this grounds for a further complaint?

 

And here is the statement they sent me (first since 2009) in response to my recent request.

 

Take a look at Page 2 and the addition of the interest lump sum.

 

Following my complaint, they have since sent me a more detailed statement, showing alleged interest added per month, saying the 'lump sum' appears as they transferred systems!

 

The interest rate does not relate to that stated in the CCA and is only applied during a specific period - strange.

CAPQUEST.

 

I think it may be pointless sending a SAR to AQUA, as the a/c was assigned in 2010 and AQUA probably would not have retained any records from that long ago - but then again, if you think it might be worth it I have no problem sending another SAR

now send one to the oc

pointless sending sar's to a dca,

they can make up whatever they want.

SAR sent to AQUA today.

 

Any advice on the interest the DCA has applied to the account?

 

In their letter of 06.10.2017, they write "we will not add interest to this account" - clearly this is not the case.

 

I did point this out to the DCA in my complaint, but they ignored me, just confirming they had added interest - no explanation of why and why only in a specific period or an explanation of the rate they have applied

I have been through my old AQUA file and scanned all documents in as PDF. Please see attached chronology.

 

There are three statements 15.07.2009, 14.08.2009 & 15.09.2009 which contain reference to 'Notice of Default Sums' (see attached scan). There are no documents that I hold that constitute a bona fide DN or TN, but I will have to wait and see what the AQUA SAR turns up.

 

How do I delete uploaded files from my cache please?

I think one of your main problems is you continue to have entered into so much totally pointless letter tennis

once a CCA is failed

you stop all comms until/unless you get a letter before action/of claim or a claimform.

Just received the SAR response from AQUA.

 

There is no DN or TN.

 

Interestingly, they have provided copies of monthly statements since 24.07.2013 to 25.06.2017.

Bare in mind I have a NoA in favour of CAPQUEST dated December 2010.

 

All statements show a balance outstanding £1,503.54 which is obviously different from the £1,971.83 now being claimed by CAPQUEST

  • 4 weeks later...

Any news

this is identical to what i am going through with Capquest and Marbles funny enough,

 

mine has been passed to NCO Now but my credit file keeps having late payments against it for last 2 month after 8 years of on time payments with payplan

 

i am screwed as i rang marbles and they have nothing on file as it has been later than 6 years

 

Capquest say they cannot deal with it as NCO are dealing with it

 

all my other accounts have been wiped as 6 years and older except this one

( which i am sure would have defaulted at the same time 2008 )

but capquest say it is a live credit account?
