    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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 need to take stock here - it's ridiculous. I'll be honest - I owe £32-34k and I just got paid £676.00 for a month. How can I possibly pay this back it will take forever??

 

I am at the end of knowing what to do now??!!

 

I've tried an IVA and it failed - TWICE - I did it legitimately through Payplan and got nowhere.

 

Is bankrupcy my only option because I've been down all other routes and I am left with nothing. I'm 33 live at home with my parents and my life is on standstill because I can't afford anything.

 

I have numerous DCA's not two

 

I have HSA, Moorcroft, Robinson Way (who are bas****), HFO, Blair Oliver and Scott, IQOR (Legal and Trade), Buchanan Clarke and Wells!!!!!!!!!!!

If these debts are things like loans, credit cards, store cards etc, why not CCA them all to see if the debt is enforceable. At least waiting for the responses will buy you some time to see what you can do.

Well I can do all of that - I've got another thread with all the advice to do this but the debt still exists if they can be CCA'd - ok I should read the Finances control thing first!

 

It's such hassle why am I so stupid and how did I get into this mess - living at home and no rent - just overspending not knowing about Credit Ratings etc., and how easy it is to get a card - and not so easy to pay back.

The debt exists but could be unenforceable if they haven't got a properly executed agreement.

 

While no one advocates debt avoidance, if you can check that they don't in fact have an enforceable agreement if gives you much more bargaining power to sort out a payment plan paying token amounts. I know it will take a long time, but at least you'll be starting to get your life under control.

 

You've taken an important first step in asking for help and on this site you'll get plenty of that. Don't beat yourself up, we've all been in similar positions to you, that's why we're on here. Some of us have managed to sort things out so that we're in control and we're trying to help others to get that control for themselves.

 

Take it one step at a time and you'll get there in the end and when you look back you'll realise how much you've learned along the way.

Hi Lou, a year ago I was close to bankruptcy - now from all I have learned on here and the help I have had I have discovered that at least half of my debt is unenforceable and the rest is still hanging in the balance. I am no longer afraid to answer the phone and look forward to the post to see what is happening in each of my battles.

 

What a lot of these card companies are 100% guilty of is irresponsible lending - in my case it was ridiculous (like 2K increases at a time) but I was so skint at the time (business not personal extravagances) that I saw each credit limit increase as pennies from heaven. So if they haven't got their paperwork right, well that's their misfortune:D. Ask for as much advice as you need - you will get loads of help.

You're all giving me amazing advice - I'm being negative but what if they are ALL enforceable by law? I could breakdown everything for you but it'll take ages. I will in a couple of days. I don't understand this CCA thing properly - I send them a letter and they send me an agreement and then what? I'm paying nothing to anyone at the moment and I don't know if they have already sent me CCAs!!!

it is highly unlikely that they will all be enforceable - if any. Basically you have a right to ask for a copy of your original consumer credit agreement which is the evidence they would need to prove the debt if they took you to court. Many companies have not got anything at all, having destroyed the paperwork (in my case so far about 40K), and a great deal more send a copy of the application form which is in many cases not a valid agreement. One of the CCA gurus will no doubt post a list of the 'terms' which need to be on an agreement for it to be enforceable. Whether or not you have the original agreement is irrelevant - what you are now asking for is what they have on file against you.

 

Even if they are all enforceable and you did have to go bankrupt you have nothing to lose really - and if you find they are not enforceable then you have everything to gain.

You will need a big file to keep all the letters in - keep copies of everything you send and every reply. I have lived without borrowing anything for the last 18 months as all my cards don't work anymore for some strange reason :lol: - sometimes I have no idea how I am going to buy food and stuff but I have managed and I will never ever again have a credit card.

 

Best of luck Lou - I look forward to hearing how you get on:)

Well you will probably need all the old letters, just incase, but if you start a new file for the new fighting back campaign it will make you feel so much better. I get so much therapy from filing stuff in my 'action' file.

Hi I'm Lorna and I too am an irresponsible lender!

 

I've got most of the old letters - some I've chucked but most of them - the ones for non payment of their agreement usually which has only been made by phone. I'll CCA all of them this week and see what happens and Goldlady - I'll need your help and anyone else who wants to listen and give me advice!

Another thing - if they are giving you grief on the phone you can ask them to only contact you in writing. I am not very good at linking to letters but there is a whole rake of letters you can use on here for every possible situation.

 

Hope you can manage to carry all the CCA letters to the post office:D

I think that is how most of us ended up here. These people are pushing too hard and it is about time the worm turned! Hopefully you will get a good night's sleep, unless you lie awake plotting:D. It is almost unbelievable that you can get rid of certainly some debts because they haven't done their homework - sounds too good to be true. But the good people on here are not some sort of hard-sell bullsh*tters - they are people like you and me who have been a bit silly - as have the lenders.

 

One thing that amazed me was that I worked out on a spreadsheet ages ago that I had actually paid back the money I had borrowed from my cards and that all I now owe (or did in some cases) is interest and charges. So if I hadn't borrowed the damned money in the first place I would owe nothing to anyone;)

You could work it systematically rather than trying to do it all at once. You can send the CCA requests to the DCA's - they should pass it back to the original creditor (OC). I have done that with mine - waited until they got nasty and then sent the CCA letter.

I am panicking - it's a ten year debt and I am fed up of being like this and not having money and moaning etc., and the phonecall about heavies did scare me. I am grateful for all the help, really. I am just praying that I can at least get rid of some of it because at the end of the day I've overspent - it's MY fault.

 

Thanks though, I will do the CCA thing.

Yes, perhaps it is your fault, but if they hadn't put the temptation there would you have done it? I think not. You have a life to get on with and you cannot let this destroy you. And it won't.

 

I lived in terror of people coming to the house and one day when I was here by myself a thuggish character in a suit knocked at the door. I lay on the bedroom floor for at least half an hour, shaking like a jelly. i found out later he was from the council cos the neighbours had complained about our rubble mountain as we were converting the loft.

 

Never again will I let anyone put that fear into me. And neither should you - debt is NOT a crime - lending money to people who really can't afford to borrow it in the first place in my opinion IS.

For everything you've said I am more than grateful but I am of the argument now that at the time I could afford it. Mine main problem was consolidation after consolidation.

 

I went to Debt Free Direct for an IVA and then they hassled me. I got to the last stages of IVA and it was refused - TWICE.

 

I suppose what everyone is saying here is that it's "manage debt" rather than eradicate and I still feel really upset about it.

 

I'd be terrified, too. I am still scared these swines are going to come to my home. My father found a letter a couple of months ago about a £6k loan - that is the tip of the bloody iceberg - he'd go MENTAL if he knew the actual amount. He supports me and I have overspent and he thinks it's disgusting I am in that amount - what could I do if bully boys from HFO came round?
