    • I've just taken another look through the stuff they sent me in response to the CPR request, the notice of assignment isn't the original , it's on a plain sheet of non letterhead paper, in fact it could have easily been typed up by Overdales, or anybody really.  On the other side of the paper are standard Lowell terms and conditions that are only half on the page. Should this be part of my defence?
    • I agree with my site team colleague above. We need to know all the facts including which company you are dealing with and an explanation of the problem. It really is too difficult to start giving speculative advice on some speculative problem that you have laid out as a generalised scenario
    • Moorcroft are sending a rep round to my house this week. What is the best way to handle this? Ignore and not answer the door or engage with them? I haven't acknowledged anything since I started on this journey and defaulted on my cards in December 2022
    • Very sorry but with the best will in the world, I don't think we can at all understand what the situation is here. Please can you try rewriting this on a word processor and maybe send a copy of what you have written to a friend and working out together so that the story is complete but as brief as possible. Maybe a list of dates as well. If you can do that and then repost your story we can have a look
    • Hi, I am a local authority tenant and was in a 3 bed house. At the end of last year, my last child moved out and so did my spouse as we are now going through a divorce which meant that I was in the house alone and decided that I needed to downsize not only for myself but to offer the property to a family that needed it. I registered on the local authority housing bidding site as i was asked to do and I was accepted and given a priority banding as I was downsizing and they were desperate for my house. I have been extremely lucky and after about 6 weeks was accepted for a new build from a housing association via the housing gateway. I viewed the property 2 weeks ago and had to sign the tenancy last week when they were doing bulk signups for the houses and that is the day I moved. In between viewing and sign up, I contacted my current local authority landlord and asked how I give notice as I had been accepted for a property I had bid on and was moving.  The lady told me how to do it online and then said that I needed to give a full weeks notice which wasnt a problem as I had enough time.  (I was also told a weeks notice was what i would need to give by another staff member about a month ago when I phoned up for another housing related question.  I dont have any of this in writing.) I have now moved, handed back the keys and I am now being told that I need to give 4 weeks notice which I cannot afford. I hav e spoken to the council again explaining that I was told a week and that to be honest, if I knew they were going to charge me 4 weeks I would not have been able to move and would have stayed in the other house.  I thought I was doing the right thing. They said that calls are recorded and they asked me when I called in and was told a week and they would listen to the telephone conversation and if it was correct what I was told, they would see what they could do to reduce the notice period. They have now emailed me back and said that they have listened to the conversation and the lady said 4 weeks notice and I am liable for 4 weeks rent.  Now I may well of misheard her when I thought she said a full weeks notice she may have said 4 weeks notice but I am sure she said a full weeks notice and i was told a week by another member of staff a few weeks ago. I have emailed her back and said that I may of misheard but I would like to listen to the phone recording myself.  As yet they havent responded. I think its unreasonable for them to make me give 4 weeks when I had to sign the new tenancy with little notice or loose the property.  And it was all done through their gateway, and they will have a tenant in there pretty much straight away getting rent from them. I am on a very low income, I am on my own, I have serious medical issues and I am really getting myself stressed out over this. Any advice would be so appreciated.  Can I insist they let me listed to the recording? RH

    • 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.

have a unpaid debt with anglian water.

ccj granted march 2013 for a debt of £1,341,98.

agreed with them to pay debt off at £5 per month.

after a financial income check incomings outgoings.

 

we applied to pay this debt by direct debit payment.

they said it could not be done.

 

over the period of time we reduced this debt to about £300.

for some reason they cancelled the agreement and enforced this with the high court enforcement group who visited me today.

informing me they are collecting a debt of £2,041.15 for anglian water.

 

rather annoyed to find that anglian water never told me of there intentions or giving me a chance to put my case to the court.

 

where is the common sense the debt reducing.

then they treble the debt

 

to be honest struggle paying this amount.

is the court system just got no sense before they decide what actions they take on people.

 

any advice available here please .

 

contacted anglian water waiting for call back.

how did you agree to pay it off

through a tomlin order

or direct to Anglia water?

 

why did you not defend the CCJ?

and is this now a second judgement?

 

have you checked your credit file?

you should have received numerous letters before the HCEO visit?

do they not know your correct address?

 

somethings not right here given the timeline you've stated.

thank you for your reply

 

1 agreed payment direct with anglian water after they sought judgement would not negotiate without judgement. payments where sent via payments through store ect.

 

this ccj was obtained in march 2013 was defended but admitted the debt due to get installment plan .

 

this is the same judgement seems to have been enforced. this is what credit file says

 

Name ....

Address ....

Judgment date 21/03/2013

Amount £ 1,347

Court name Northampton Ccbc

 

had no letters at all sent e mails and contacted anglian water asking for some explanation.

 

also the copies of all payments made balance before a high court writ ...would have been very small about £300.

 

nothing at all from anyone was not aware we have continued the agreed payments to anglian water.

 

We were unaware we was shocked . the debt has now been trebled

 

this is the payment booklet we have used also this is the letter the bailiffs left

Sorry to say but you need to put your attachments into a multi page PDF then upload that. Remember to redact personal details. As for the total they are demanding then this will be based upon the original CCJ total and sounds very much that AW may not have informed them of any receipts.

One thing to note well and this is no criticism of you as the chances are it was never explained.

 

I assume the payment proposal you had with them was to pay a certain amount on a certain date. This should have been paid in clear funds to reach your part of their account. I note you that you seemed to use something like Paypoint at a local Newsagents, to keep this in context then it could have been up to 10 days later before your account was credited due to processing times. If this is the case then AW can rightly say you paid late and could be justified in going for enforcement.

 

When writing to AW ask that they hold off enforcement temporarily whilst you investigate your payments to them.

Something is definitely not right so please do contact Anglian Water to investigate.

 

You mention that your repayments led to the debt being reduced to just £300. If that is the case, then the High Court Enforcement company should not have been instructed as they cannot enforce a debt that is less than £600.

 

You have not mentioned what action (if any) has been taken by the HCEO. Did the enforcement agent just leave a letter or did he gain entry into your premises?

I think they meant that they reduced the debt by £300 as per the £5 a month paid over the last couple of years? If they originally had a CCJ and the judge agreed to the £5 DD every month, how can a second CCJ be raised for the same debt?

An application to Stay the Enforcement might be a good move and an application to set an affordable payment with the court. You don't have to let the HCEO in and it might be better to keep them out and hide any car in the meantime. Ploddertom, BA, and others will probably have some further good advice soon

We could do with some help from you.

have had contact with debt enforcement at anglian water.

 

stated agreement was not paid on time and on the dates required.

due to this they cancelled the agreement.

 

they do not deny the balance was reducing to the originol debt.

notice was given they state in writing enforcement action would be commenced.

situation we have today arrived at.

 

we have confirmed that on no occasion have we had letters from anglian water re this matter.

they said we sent these you should contact the postal service and raise the matter with them .

they will not be blamed for this failure.

 

anglian water have asked me to make a lite application to them they will forward this via e mail..

they have my e mail address .

they have agreed to call off the bailiffs until they decide the lite application.

 

they will respond on the SAR request within 1 month.
