    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • 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,

I was a victim of identity fraud in around June 2012. "Someone at the time took out loans in my name with quick quid and lending stream".

It was a lot of hassle at the time

( I went through the police action fraud, recived a crime number and after a month or so I signed a couple of letters from both companies and the matter was cleaned up.

 

I also opted at that time to put extra restrictions on anyone else trying to fraudulently take out any more loans in my name.

 

"Let me just say that I have never ever applied or taken out any loan in my life other that a mortgage for our home that is now fully paid off".

 

back in June 2017 I started receiving letters from MMF motormile finance now Lantern, stating that I owed them £250 for another loan from what turns out to be taken at around the same time as the other loans in 2012!

I phoned them straight away and explained what had happened.

But all this did was for them to send demanding letters on a weekly basis!

 

I forwarded the police action fraud crime number from 2012 thinking that that would be the end of the matter.

But all they do is keep sending me more demanding letters.

 

Are these people above the law or what!

They keep asking for very personal details e.g bank statements from 2012,

my national insurance number,

payslips,

photo id from a passport or driving licence.

 

I'm sure it would be reckless to send such sensitive information to a bad debt collecting company!

 

(Do they cover their costs by selling on this very useful and very accurate information to third parties?)

It would be very lucrative if they did as they would have all the information to take out a loan in my name!!

 

What's going to happen in another few years, Am I going to get demanding letters form another bad debt company??

 

As much I want to clear my name I am very sceptical about about how they would use that information.

I lay awake at night worrying myself to death, I am frightened about what they might do.

 

I have been to Citizens advice bureau who just say go to police action fraud! its bonkers.

 

If a company doesn't accept a police action fraud number and the evidence from the time of the identity fraud then they are surly acting above the law!

Firstly, they are nothing other than powerless bully boys who talk the talk but will never ever be able to walk the walk.

 

There is NOTHING they can do, so don't worry about their silly childish missives, begging for money and information they haven't got the slightest how to process.

 

You sent them the CRN, now let them hang themselves.

 

Keep a diary of events regarding their criminal offence of harassment.

 

Keep ALL of their dumb threat letters as evidence.

 

There is NOTHING they can do, because they have NO LEGAL authority whatsoever.

 

Has your credit file been reverted back to how it was prior to the ID fraud?

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!

Moved to the MMF forum

 

Never ever ring a powerless DC A

They are not bailiff s and have zero legal powers

 

If this was 2012 cant be far from SB then??

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...

Hi many thanks for your reassuring reply.

I wouldn't know how to check a credit file, i really don't want to know.

I don't have credit card and only buy something if I can afford it.

 

They seem to invest a lot money into their letters delivered to my door.

I am very concerned that the " Nature of the beast is to collect bad debt and they have to earn money anyway they can so they can ply their misery."

 

With the sensitive information that's being requested they are very probably selling on these details to to third parties to provide some funding.

( You could get a passport with those details! )

 

What is SB?

 

Many thanks again, Ian

if it's not your debt, and was taken out by a third party fraudulently, and they still continue to process your data as being the debtor after May 25th GDPR will be in effect and a complaint to the ICO regarding their breach and continuing processing of your data could well be woeful for them.

We could do with some help from you.

The liability is not on yourself to prove your innocence.

I appreciate all your help. I thought I was on my own a few days ago. Many thanks, I have scanned the very first email from mmf in June 2017 last year. This was the first contact from what as a fraudulent loan taken out in my name from 2012.

 

P.s just found out I need ten posts on this forum until you are allowed to submit pictures!

This is the first ever contact from mmf to me in june 2017 (below)

...Which turns out to a bad debt from 2012 ( Note I Have lived at the same address for over 20 yrs so I don't know why they state " previous communications ")

 

After receiving this letter through the door I called them immediately and explained that I have never taken out any loan in my life.

From that moment on all they are interested in is gaining as much personal information about you as possible inc, wage slips, bank statements, employers details for last six yrs, NI number, D.O.B, Photo id such as passport/driving licence.

 

As you can see that's an awful lot of sensitive info to give a company who collects bad debt.

That's why after continually receiving these letters I was very upset.

I have sent them explanations of what happened at the time and forwarded the crime ref number.

You have 3 options.

 

- Ignore - Wait for Claim and defend on the basis of Fraud with copies of the signed forms from the other companies.

- Raise to the Original Lender who Lanturn should now advise you off. They need to tell you. And dispute it with them. (There have been cases where the loan is sold to a DCA Portfolio and then gets recalled when xxx Lender know they gone messed up)

- Challenge Lanturn directly via their complaints process, and refer it to their CEO if you get no luck - Challenge with the FOS if they decline and watch them squirm when they realise that they have also gone messed up)

 

Who is the original lender in this case? I have suffered from a case of ID Theft and also had to deal with PDLs so hopefully i can offer some guidance.

 

We could do with some help from you.
