    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . dx

    • 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.

Eventually got round to sending Curlyben's letter to 1st Credit, and they sent back a very succinct reply. Their reply was they know that they cannot chase for money while an account is in dispute so they are contacting their client. So, umm, if they know that then why did they contact me in the first place?!?!?

May put this suggestion to them on a christmas card, noooo, on second thoughts, this may be the time of year for forgiveness, but even I am not that nice!

LOL nice one CB!

Please refer to 1st Credit as 1st Credit. Thank you.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Nothing to update, just sumising this past year so that I can look forward to 2008...

Started this year with RMA, who were the nastiest bullies and name-callers. Paid them what I could afford until I CCA'd them, and then heard no more.

Started to repay BC what I could afford per month direct without any contact from them at all

BC passed my debt on to 1st C, who got all heavy, and threatening charging orders. Reminded them that due to no CCA from my previous request, debt is in dispute

Complained to FOS about BC - waiting to hear

BC said that they would look into my complaint

1st C referring back to BC. No further contact at present.

Still no CCA.

Red still paying what I can afford, as I have a duty to pay what is owed!

Good news there Red, lets see who crawls out of the wood work next.

I certainly can't wait to see who B'card passes my account to next.

Hey you never know I might stop mucking about and actually file in court for the charges, but seeing as they are almost the same as the outstanding balance, I think I might just stay as I am.

I have after all, offered B'card a way out, but they ignored that completely.

Hi Red - Have you tried approaching Northampton TS about Barclaycard? As you know from my thread since TS involvement B/C and Mercers haven't sent me anything except my monthly statements. I too am paying what I can afford to, but the respite I've had from sending everything to TS (who are obviously very busy and don't like to rush these things!) has been very refreshing. I think I'll report Sainsbury's next to their local TS although at the moment they are letting me pay £10 per month, however they, like Barclaycard, continue to add interest and charges whilst the account remains in dispute.

 

Good luck for 2008 :)

Thanks CB, Tau and DM! Happy new year to you all. I will continue with the current plan, of paying what I can afford, directly to BC, and I will see how I feel in a couple of weeks, depending upon any insight from the FOS, as to whether to complain further or not!

Looking forward to 2008, its started with a "Notice of Legal proceedings" but not from BC or their henchmen....ah well, at least I know what to with it.....;)

Cheers guys and girls for all your help and support

Next! BC have written through twice, firstly to say that they are sorry that they have not dealt with my complaint (which I made to FOS and not to BC), and that I can go to the FOS once they have sent me their final response (oops!).

Also they have written through to say that they have assigned my debt to 1st credit and that I should pay them directly. Well no, BC, I will not! I am not going to pay some bully boy DCA who cannot comply with a simple CCA request, and in honesty , i am not too sure other than moral high ground and honesty to own up to my debts as to why I am paying BC at all!

Nothing from FOS re this one, since my original complaint, so if my photocopier has decided to work, then i will send the FOS copies of their letters, which will back up my complaint of passing on the debt to a DCA without taking my I&E into account, and the insistent charges and interest. BC have said that following default by me, that they are within their right to pass the debt on. I do not dispute this, but why tell me now, after the 5h!t has started to hit the fan?!

Oh well, carry on reagrdless! (Beautiful South)

Hi Gold lady, lovely to hear from you again, hope that you are well! I think that often BC throw in the towel early, but only after they have added loads of charges and interest!. I honestly can't be dealing with a DCA who cannot legally comply with my requests. Who are you paying now? LTSB, or DCA or neither?;)

Good on you Red for refusing to pay DCA. As i put on my thread, i think i am gaining a small amount of compliance from Barclays. This is down to FOS and a refusal to lie down. Like you, i forward all correspondence to FOS which shows Barclays we mean what we say!! I also take great pleasure in responding to all their correspondence and highlighting their wrong doings!!

 

Keep at 'em!! :)

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

Hello all! Gosh haven't been on CAG for aaaagggesssss, but my situation still seems the same! LOL Like lots of debts, 1st Credit still trying it on, BC ignoring me.

Must admit to being a bit tardy. Have just carried on paying £10 p/m to BC, and am about to get back in touch with the FOS about BC.

1st Credit sent me something which they thought was a CCA agreement, but it failed on a number of issues.

Lucky me, 1st Credit also sent one print out of something which is all abbreviated and makes no sense, other than opening balance and outstanding balance! Do they think that they have complied with my SAR request?!

Told them in no uncertain terms that they have not, and to leave me alone (letter was better worded!).

So now I will send BC a letter (again), asking for PPI refund/account charges and interest refund, and that they have not followed OFT guidelines by appointing DCAs without notifying me first.

So you all will probably have to put up with me again!

Nice to be back!

Red :)

Thx Hopeful1, so glad that you are still here!

I sent off my complaint form direct to BC, and have had the standard reply, of we are sorry to hear of your disatisfaction....looking into it...etc.

I have probably opened another can of worms here, by contacting BC direct, but was so fed up of 1st credit that I wanted to make my voice heard to BC.

I feel a little like the walls are closing in on me at the moment, as none of my creditors appear to be playing fair, maybe due to the credit crunch, however I am sure that all them will still be reporting large annual profits.

Will let you know of any developments...

This is very true! And don't the OC/DCA's know it too! :D,

maybe I should change my identity into an ape (no smart comments please!!!), and achieve more sucess in fending off any further harrassment.

BC have written to me today in response to my complaint letter of charges, passing my account to a DCA without notifying me, mis-selling PPI, and all they have said is that 1st C are legal owners of my account (and have been for nearly a year apparently), and that BC have basically washed their hands of my complaint. I have, as previously mentioned been paying BC.

So why do the DCA not take further action if they are the legal owners, BC say that my account was passed on to (not sold to) DCA. I have written through to DCA to say that my account is in dispute with BC? :confused:

If the debt now belongs to 1st C, then why are they not jumping up and down at me, and accepting that I have raised a complaint against the OC?

I am really confused (and not happy with BC!)

Any suggestions/help appreciated!

Here we go again!

1st C's "solicitors" are applying the scare tactics of court action but they still can't provide me with CCA. They like my application form though, think I have been sent it three times now. :D

Trading Standards have been very very helpful, and have advised that all phone calls that I have made regarding this complaint (about 18 months worth) can be used as evidence in court, OFT have also been very good, I have someone assigned to this complaint, along with a direct line tel no! And FOS are also very good, and patient bearing in mind that I just keep adding to my complaint!

Lots of paperwork to do, but I am sure that it will be worth it - on a satisfaction level rather than financial!
