    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.
    • Everyone knows the tories were hiding the costs - and even added 4 billion quid to the taxpayers high interest credit card to fund a chunk of the NI tax reduction - prime example - look at how much cost was hidden re the Rwanda dogwhistle -10 Billion quid     and re the handful of rebels on the benefit limit If the disasters (like the Rwanda rubbish) of Tory dogs being wagged by the extremist minority ERG tail doesn't highlight the issues ..

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me, my story is that 8 years ago my wonderful ex husband decided to walk out and leave me with our 2 young children, in doing so he cancelled the mortgage repayments and also stopped giving me any money towards bills, I had to leave my job and go onto benefits I saw a solicitor regarding a divorce and also contacted all my credit companies and offered £1 a month token payment, I received 2 CCJs of which 1 is completely settled and the other my ex husband is paying as laid out in the divorce settlement.

 

Over the last 7 years I have got myself back into part time work, have upped my payments and settled what I thought to be all my creditors, I have met a new partner and we remortgaged to get ex husband off of the property. Beginning of this year I had a letter from Link Financial stating that I owed them just over £1,000 I questioned this as I really thought I had settled nearly all my creditors (had one left which only had a few months remaining at £40 a month). They sent me a statement showing the debt (MBNA) and the payments I had made up until 2003. As me and my partner recieve the higher element of CTC (we have 3 children between us of which 2 are with my ex husband) I work 11 hours a week and my parnter has his own business which is struggling, we also have high mortgage payments as we have a self cert mortgage currently at 9.10% which we are tied into for another 18 months, I was told I could make payments at a minimal £5 a month with a view to increasing it to £50 when my other creditor was paid off end of august. However over the last year our mortgage has gone up and up and we have now had to go to interest only (currently £875.00 per month).

 

I phoned them last week to say that I could not increase to £50 a month at present but would continue to pay them £10 a month until after christmas and would review it then and hopefully the interest rate would have started to come back down again and I could offer them more.

 

Yesterday I received a letter from them saying:

 

We note that you are considering offering your consent to a notice being registered on your property to secure the outstanding balance (996.13) this will prevent me from selling my property without the balance being paid to link financial, I have 14 days (well less than that as letter was dated 16th Oct and royal mail strike has held it up). If I do not agree they will adop legal proceedings to recover the outstanding balance and I will incure extra costs at 8% per annum and then a final charging order issued. They state that:

 

No interest will be applied to the account

No additional costs willbe incurred by myslef

we WILL NOT apply to the court for an Order of Sale nor indeed an Order for Possession of your property.

 

All the above if I agree to the restriction order.

 

I phoned them and it got a bit heated with me being quite nasty (sorry but thats the fiery leo in me) I said that the property was not only in my name and they said that I would need to get my partner to sign too, I also said that what if I was to try and increase my payments they said it was too late now as I had broken the agreement by not increasing it to £50 at the September payment.

 

Now we have signed the form and its sitting on the side ready to send back to them should we do this, I know that we wont be remortgaging or selling for at least 18 months and hopefully I can get it paid off by then, but will this still show on future mortgage applications we make? also I am now really worried that they will make us sell the house even though they have written that they wont, my parents could lend me £450 should I offer this? I dont want to do this though as they make think I can afford to offer more money, still have to make monthly payments yet still go ahead with a restriction on the house.

 

Sorry for it being a long one, thanks for listening.

No I havent been to court over this debt, they state if I dont agree to the restriction within 14 days;

 

We will initiate legal proceedings and shall enforce our judgement by way of a final charging order, we would then proceed to register the final charging order in the form of a restriction. For the avoidance of doubt consent from yourself or any proprietor of the property will not be required should we adopt this course of action. We would prefer not to adopt legal proceedings to recover the amount because that course of action will ultimately invovle you in incurring significant additional costs in the form of court fees and interest being applied.

Get the CCA (Letter N) sent to them asap. This will put the account into dispute and they can not do anything then. After 12 WORKING days (assuming you send it recorded) you can if you wish, stop paying them.. But make sure you get that CCA sent asap!

ok, you must send the CCA ASAP then if they start legal you can just turn round to court and tell them you requested the cca and they will stay court for a while so we can get you sorted out.

 

do not agree to anything do not sign anything.

 

I would assume that you have had a pile of charges along the road? if so after CCA sorted we will help you claim back these charges so you get the enjoyment of taking them to court :D

all of us on this site have had problems along the way, we have all found CAG and when ever we get a threat letter through the door all we now do is laugh.

dont panic

dont be scared/affraid

dont pull your hair out

most important NEVER speak to them on the telephone, that will try to intimidate you into paying more, this is point blank harassement, should they phone you just say "put it in writing" and hang up

Hi Michelle

 

CCA and that will put the account into dispute. I would advise, as Mrmarmite and Mollyr0x to send a postal order (not a cheque as you don't want them having your bank details:eek: ) and don't sign the letter (as you don't want them having a copy of your signature ;) ).

 

This will put the account into dispute, until they can provide you with a true signed copy of the original agreement.

 

Link have been looking for mine for months now and I'm hoping they don't find it!!!

 

Have a read of my thread (I still don't know how to do a link (as in link to the thread and not link financial :D - hopeless I know), but if you search for jaxads, you'll then be able to see my link thread). I'm now just leaving them now to dig themselves into a bigger hole!

 

If they don't comply to your request within 12 working days (plus allow 2 days for postage) any payments to the debt can be stopped. If, after a further 30 days they've still not complied, they they are committing a "summary criminal offence", which basically means they're in deep poop!!!

 

You're definitely in the right place here to start fighting back!!

 

Good luck.

This letter (N) will put the account into dispute. Unless they have the CCA they cant do ANYTHING and they know it. They may however send you letters telling you otherwise.

If your ever unsure, post here or just keep us upto date on this thread :)

The £1 postal order is for the CCA which you do have to pay. You also need to keep paying them until the 12 working days has expired. Then and only then you can stop.

If you send tomorrow, 9th November you can stop payment.

at the end of day with reguards to the CCA letter, IF they FAIL to send agreement you can then tell them to go take a long walk off a short pier.

 

they like to threaten people because they think that you dont have a clue to your legal rights.

Also why only £1 postal order, should I not send them £5 still (or the £10 as I agreed last week), also regarding bank details they already have mine as they have been taking a SO for the last 8/9 months now.

 

The guys are advising send the CCA request to Link, which can be found here;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html#post162367

 

This request needs to be accompanied by payment of £1 which is the maximum prescribed fee, we advocate using a postal order so that you aren't sending them a copy of your signature. A credit agreement request should also be sent using a minimum of 1st class recorded deliver, or special delivery if the cost isn't a problem. I would use SD for link.

 

Hope that clarifies... :)

30th July 2007

Reference:

I require you to supply the following documentation before I will correspond further on this matter.

 

1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 (s.77 (1) for fixed sum credit) - your obligation also extends to providing a statement of account. I enclose a £1 cheque in payment of the statutory fee, Serial Number 001248

 

2. A signed true copy of the deed of assignment of the above referenced agreement that you allege exists.

 

3. You are notified that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not under S189 of the CCA 1974.

 

Non-compliance with my request is a criminal offence under the above Act and will result in a report being submitted to the relevant statutory authorities.

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

Yours sincerely
