    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB  
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre   Name of the Claimant ? JC INTERNATIONAL AQUISITION   How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to. 22 May 2024   Particulars of Claim   What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? The def owes the claimant £300 in respect of gas and electricity charges supplied by OVO. Debt was assigned to the claimant with notice given to the def. Despite formal demand the def has failed to pay the debt and the claimant claims £300  and further claims interest pursuant to s69 of the CCA 1984.   What is the total value of the claim? £385   Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? Yes   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No   Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Energy debt   When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After   Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Moved home and they were the current energy supplier    Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax/Etc...) ? No   Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt assigned to JC International   Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not sure probably  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Again can't remember but probably    Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? No   Why did you cease payments? Changed supplier   What was the date of your last payment? Never    Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No   Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No  
    • Their FAQs state - Cancellations and modifications If your booking has been cancelled, Booking.com refunds you immediately. The processing time may take 7 to 10 days and depends on your bank. If you have questions, contact your bank directly. I'm a regular Booking.com and AirBnB user.  The former have never cancelled.  The latter have and my money was refunded immediately (not that that helps you as we're not talking about AirBnB!) Best to check with your bank and see (a) if you did pay in advance and (b) if it has been refunded. Also, have you received a message from Booking.com officially stating the cancellation?
    • I'm not up to date with the Legal Aid rules but I'm not sure that many people qualify. HB
    • You question timescales a bit in thread - From my experience, defaulting everything and ignoring all non PAP letters, while making no payments: - 18 months to LOC - further 18 months to be at court Most are still silent 3 years in though!. If making token payments, court, if ever would be 4-5-6 years from now - Hope that helps. My debt is similar, I started it 2021 and wouldn't believe I'm already over half way through default period. You need to make the decisions but follow advice already given in this thread, and you will be fine. Best time to plant a tree was yesterday, second best time is today. Good luck BT

    • 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.

You have every chance of eradicating most of it - I have;) I was paying 2k a month to my creditors till the you know what hit the fan. They will not call round - they do not have the right. Hard to take in at the moment - I know - but really you have to take control here and you have the power to do it. In a month or two you will be helping other people with the experience you have gained from sorting out your own situation

I sincerely hope so. I don't see an end - I see a solution immediately but I want it to be over but I suppose it took time to build the debts it'll take time to get rid of them.

Well once you have sent the CCA letters and they have not supplied you with the agreements you can stop paying them (12+2 working days then a further 30). OK if they find the agreements in the future they can enforce them again but that is kind of unlikely.

 

This is the beginning of the rest of your life. It will not take as long as you think.

I broke the credit agreement by not paying does that make a difference? I've broken the agreement in that case then haven't I? I didn't make regular payments on this particular account and haven't done since 2006

No it makes no difference at all. Particularly if they can't prove the debt anyway. We are all human - if we could pay we would.

I'm probably getting on your nerves - if they CAN prove the debt what then? Can I still pay a minimum payment of say £5 to £10 to every creditor until my situation improves or whatever???

take a breath Lou! As Goldlady mentioned you have some expert people advising you, I woud suggest starting an individual thread for each Debt though. This will help in giving specific advice on each debt and the means to challenge it, etc.

 

And don't worry even if a creditor can legally enforce the debt you only have to pay what you can afford for unsecured loans. I have people I'm advising who have debts larger than yours and are paying £1 per month coz it's all they can afford

shane

I tried to negotiate with them and they wouldn't let me. All the people I've had trouble with are the ones demanding more than I can afford or a breakdown of outgoings which I don't HAVE to provide by law do I?

Hiya Lou....

 

The CCA request needs to go to whoever is pursuing you for payment. In most cases, DCAs are the most aggressive and push the hardest.... however, the older the account, the less chance that an Agreement will be found.

 

If you are taking on the lot, then make sure you know which rec. delivery slip applies to which CCA....

 

Good luck.... :)

 

Do you know if any of these accounts have CCJs on them ?

Look, I don't want to lecture you here, but you are making a bad mistake by not informing and talking to your parents about your problems. I know it is hard, and scary, but if you are living with them there is very little doubt that they already know something is up and almost certainly believe you are lying to them.

 

by taking them into your confidence you will be able to explain your plan, show them the legislation, point them to your threads & etc. if you come in with a plan, and are able to explain it, then they will be very relieved and supportive.

 

the truth is, whatever you do (short of bankruptcy) your parents WILL be affected. there will be DCA's sending letters to your house / telephoning etc (even if you ask them not to:) ) the DCA may even send an agent around.

My mother does know. It's my father that doesn't and he is old school and doesn't understand the extent of the debt but knows there's a problem.

 

You're not lecturing me but I have been in debt a long time and the only DCA to threaten me with a visit was HFO which made me take stock. They cannot come near my house - they're breaking the law if I inform them NOW as I am taking action to rectify the situation.

Hi Lorna,

 

tomterm is right, he pretty much always is! At the end of the day the decision is completely up to you but do keep in mind once you start challenging these people, particularly DCA's you will get dozens on dozens of letters thrown at you! Not to mention phone calls as well! There are ways of stoping the calls but in the initial interim period there will be a lot of calls. All I'm saying is at some point your parents will notice something is up.

 

Whether you tell em or not, none of my business, just keep in mind they will see the signs!

 

kind regards,

shane

Actually for me it was the opposite. We got loads of grief from the DCAs until we sent the CCA letters, and of course the telephone harassment letter, and my favourite letter of all about only the postman and people looking for directions having a licence to knock at the door:D. The postman certainly didn't stagger up the path with a pile of valid CCAs, that's for sure. God knows what the poor guy thought when things were really bad - one day he HANDED me a card from a DCA saying 'we called today but you were out' :confused: - fell flat on their faces with that one.

 

My Dad would have been the same if he was still alive - he never had a debt in his life.

I already get hundreds of letters begging me for payment so I suppose they'll just increase!

 

I give out my mobile number not my home number so I can monitor the calls.

 

I'm just praying that doing the CCA thing will help because I read a thread earlier and my debt is after 2004 so I bet they will have the CCAs.

 

I still can't afford £50 a month to HFO with everything else I am paying at the moment.

Remember not only do they have to have copies of the Original, but they must contain all prescribed terms, in all the cases i've dealt with not one creditor so far has produced a legally enforcable agreement! Beggars belief doesn't it!

What I did was send all my CCA requests out on the same day, that way the timescales coincided and was easy to keep track. It does keep you fairly busy though!
