  1. Hi, I found something out on Friday which might be useful to everyone. The OFT site page detailing the unfair terms in the lbl bill of sale states it was activated and an undertaking from lbl obtained in Feb 2006. At the time I thought that the OFT itself had got the date wrong, ie, it should have been February 2009. But talking to the trading standards officer from Wandsworth Council, he confirmed it was actually Feb 2006. However, my BOS, the one I signed in October last year has ALL of the terms considered unfair by the OFT still in it. They have not been changed despite the undertaking from the company. The trading standa

  2. Hi Bigtop:) I can understand your fears about LTSB closing your account, particularly after what happended to your friend:eek: Mr Landy and I are in the process of claiming back several thousand pounds of charges from LTSB as well as PPI on both current and old closed loan accounts. Scott is correct that the FSA Waiver states that a bank should not close accounts as a result of claims for the refund of overdraft charges. I also don't know if this applies to PPI claims, but I do know that LTSB chose to close our account 4 months after we first contacted them asking for our money back - so in certain circumstances they can and w

  3. Egg certainly do want their cake and eat it! So do DLC, so it would appear. I guess, that Egg passed the account to DLC, because they know they've c*cked up big time. Hp, get those dates and amounts together, all amounts, not just those above £12. Please also scan up a copy of the alleged agreement that Egg supplied you; I know that you said it is fiine, but I and others want to make sure. AC

  4. Hello AC! It's mighty strange for sure. I can't see how they can ask for that much, when the Arrears were only £689.76, and payment of that would've taken the AC below the Credit Limit. Egg want Arrears, plus an additional amount. That makes no sense. I can understand them wanting HP to creep back under the Credit Limit of £9,500.00, but full payment of the Arrears would've achieved that. I think the two sums are overlapping, they want their Cake and Eat it too! But if unlawful charges rat this up still further for Egg, then it may be that there was no true over limit issues, in which case this Default Notice is

  5. Hello Reggie76! Sorry to hear this, you must Appeal. Chill out, but try and make as many notes as you can ASAP while this is still fresh in your mind. You have 21 days to get your Appeal in, and there are many more people lurking now who are willing and able to help you. You are the 2nd Case Today that has been shot down in an almost identical fashion, and in both cases the Judges were wrong, badly wrong. Here's the other one: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/208173-having-rankine-american-express.html#post2273613 This is what you must get going ASAP, my advice is to really crack on with it

  6. Hello Folks! I've had a good look at the Default Notice (see Post #8 above), and I think it has a few issues. I think it is defective on a number of points. Please run through what I am about to outline, and see if everyone agrees: (1) Default Sum Overview: HP Says: No rush, but it will be good to know the total of those charges. However, that suggests that the Account Balance of £9,969.26 at the time the Default Notice was issued on 20/04/2009 was not an accurate reflection of the true Balance once those Charges had been deducted, and Contractual Interest on those Charges had been deducted, and s69 8% County Court

  8. The debt is clearly not statute barred as 'Sane Man' states he paid minimum payments for many years. Please be careful what you advise people (specially new members) on here, as the wrong advise could get people into trouble. Sane Man- If a CCA request on this account remains unadhered to, then simple write to Aktiv Kapital and tell them as much. You merely have to state that this account is still in dispute with Thames Credit as they failed to supply you with a completed CCA request - and until your CCA request is furnished correctly the account remains in dispute and no acknowledgement of the debt exists on your part. Just add a n

  9. You don't need to appeal. It is over 6 years old so it cannot be enforced in any court, no matter what the DWP or any DCA tells you. The ONLY way they can recoup this is to deduct it from benefit. They can make deductions at any time, no matter what time period has passed. What they have sent you is not proof of overpayment in any case. It's a letter. That proves absolutley nothing, more so because it does not appear to even relate to you. Get your MP on to it because essentially what they are doing is illegal. They are attempting to get money out of you but cannot prove anything os owed. Government departments are not exempt

  10. That'll be me! Right, I haven't got time to read the whole thread but I am interested in this issue with the invalid default notice as that is significant. Are we 100% sure the default notice is invalid? I will need to refer to my Barrister's notes on this matter as it has been a long time since my case concluded. It may help with your appeal, which you MUST do! I have a school function to attend shortly, but will come back with the necessary quotes later. Regards, Corn x:)

  11. Some of these judges need sacking. Their job is to dispense justice in line with the laws of the land. I agree appeal this. they don't expect you to. They think they have dealt with you and that will put others off I was actually told this by a judge who gave me a similarly rough ride. We have a note of his comments which started "If i allow you this I will be inundated..." well let's inundate them. I have a friend who doesn't post much these days but they won against Arrow Global/Eversheds but had to call in a direct access barrister. I'll see if I can get hold of them to come and look at the thread and share their experience.

  16. Hi Bearing I would write to them first and explain your situation and then make them an offer of payment what every you can afford to pay each month even if its a token payment of £1. Then i would send them a cca request to make sure they hold a valid agreement. You can find templates for both of these letters in the template section. Good luck. ( ;

  17. Exactly, these low lifes will try any tactic to make you panic and agree to paying higher payments. Social Services would not be in the least bit interested that you have debts, you are not giving into DLC and giving them the money that would feed and clothe your children. I have 2 children & on my I&E form I entered the amount for school 'hot' dinners as I want my children to have a hot lunch in the winter months. I was asked by DCA if this was absolutely necessary:-x Do not listen too them & if you do give in & listen, respond by telling them thank you for bringing it to your attention that your children ma

  18. Rant forgiven but lets not forget the most fundamental aspect of the whole charade-they lent you money which did not exist until you agreed to borrow it off them and by implication promised to pay them back.They created the money on the security of your promise to pay it back . The whole system is fundamentally bankrupt and the only reason it stumbles on is that most people just accept it rather than looking at what is really going on. I do not think that will carry on for ever then we'll have real problems

  19. It doesn't matter if they ask for it all, you aren't refusing to pay so as pinky says just offer what you can afford, if you continue to ignore it it will just spiral and you will just end up with a larger amount owing. Now you have taken the first step you can sort this out.

  22. True. But putting it in a drawer and forgetting about it will. UKPC have no lawful authority to fine you because your vehicle was allegedly causing an obstruction. The best they could hope for (or, rather, the best that the landowner could hope for) would be to sue you for damages caused due to trespass*. *On the assumption that the vehicle was on the land without permission.

  26. They need to write to the bank again and ask them to look at the case as hardship. Usually financial hardship means priority debt arrears(mortgage/rent, council tax, utilities). With Nationwide they will only pay out charges during the period hardship was occurring. I think you need to get your mother to see what help is out there to help with the cost of the nursing home based on the income she has.

  27. Well after a couple of more visits to court, the judge ordered disclosure of documents on 29 June - and guess what?This week I received a 'Notice of Discontinuance'. That is what it says in the heading but it isn't the form from the court (N279). Instead the wording is simply 'The Claimant has provided notice that they intend to discontinue their claim in respect of this claim. Dated xxx". Does this count as a proper Notice as it isn't on the court form or are they just trying something on?

  28. All I'm saying is that you probably won't get a Default Notice under s87(1) for the Overdraft - so don't be surprised, but the same principles will apply for s76(1) and the associated Regulations (SI 1983/1561). For the other stuff tho' - loans, credit cards etc. a Default Notice under s87(1) is important.

  29. Hi Azer, Am very sorry about the situation you are going through. At the end of the day, the question you need to answer is how do you expect this story to end - there are 2 possible endings - one end would be to go to a tribunal and irrespective of the tribunal's outtcome( and an uphill one at that) you continue to work, after which your employer will definitely have a black mark against you which may or may not create issues in the future - the other option is to actively seek employement outside and prove to your current employer your worth when you get another offer - that is possibly the best negotiation option you would get - i

  31. You made a legal request to one of Aktiv's associated companies for documentation and you paid the required fee. If the documents are not available the cretins are required to make a decent attempt at getting hold of them from the original creditors or handing the matter back to them. What they do with your quid is up to them - in this instance they sent it back but that doesn't absolve them from their responsibilities. So you have the upper hand on the idiots who are now clamouring for your money. Tell them the matter is in dispute since whenever it was you made the CCA request. Suggest that without paperwork they are stuffed and wait f

  35. Absolute rubbish 9 out of 10 people never sign those or return them. I'd send the letter as in post 3. Don't use your usual signature and send it RD. Start a file and keep all papers in date order and keep copies of all your correspondance to them. Attach the envelopes they come in to the letter and write the date received on it. Paper trails are good if you need them later on. Scotcall another load of plonkers. Look to take to court yeh yeh. If they did don't worry you'll get loads of help but I imagine that will be a way off, lots more threats before that. Phone calls ignore them, if you speak to them tell them e
