    • 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.

I don’t know where to address this so please someone help because I’m really freaking out.

 

A few months ago me and my now ex gf joined a gym (David Lloyd uk)

we’ve been living in uk since April 2018,

 

the lady with the contract just rambled for whole minutes about how this gym is perfect.

I was looking at the contract briefly (my first mistake) .

 

.. fast forward - me and me ex broke up after 2 months of gym.

I’ve been to the gym and said to them that I want to cancel my gf membership.

They said that I have to wait for a call.

 

Alright. After a few days I received a call and the lady told me that I can’t cancel my girlfriend membership because we’ve sign a 12 months membership.

I said: what? I don’t remember a thing about 12 months membership.

They sent me the contract.

 

I said to them that I don’t want to be a part of this anymore through email and I want to cancel both memberships.

After that I haven’t heard of em till now.

 

Today I received a message from arceurope (a debt collector company) they’re saying that I have to pay almost 1400 pounds for those 10 months left.

10 months multiplied by 2 because we were 2. 20 months = 1400 pounds.

 

They’re saying that if in 14 days they will not have a response, I will be threatened by legal court

 

I’m losing my mind because it’s the first time this kind of things are happening to me.

 

Help with some advice

please!

Thank you!

moved to the gym forum.

 

nothing much they can do

a DCA is NOT a BAILIFFS ignore them stay off the phone.

 

when you asked to cancel it would hasve been a 1 month notice

so each of you would have needed to pay 1 month fees then stop the DD>

 

so what did you do , just cancel it?

 

they cant do anything to you

gyms don't do court anymore

and

they don't show on your credit file.

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...

The thing is that I was pretty furious because I wanted to continue the membership just for myself but they didn’t accepted.

They said that both of us have to be there as mentioned in contract.

 

My ex will leave the country in a few days after a 2 year relationship and that’s something pretty awful for me and I have to deal with.

They’re coming after me like I’m a prisoner and I feel like.

 

I had so many red flags during the signing of the contract but I just ignore them like a stupid.

Thank you for your advice!

I hope everything will be fine.

Hi Tabacco and welcome to CAG

 

1. Did you agree to pay the m/ship fees for you AND your GF, or did you each sign separate agreements and separate bank DD mandates.

 

2. Has ARC Europe or the gym added any admin fees on top of the 12 months m/ship fees.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

1) Her account was linked to mine and I was the one paying.

2) First day there and we paid if I remember correctly 100 pounds over the price of the gym as a fee.
