    • Any update here?  I ask as we have others now taking on CPM.
    • I am sorry about getting your status mixed up.  I have noticed one thing in your excellent WS. On their claim they are only pursuing you as the keeper-I think it is  in their Point C that  states along the lines of -the driver did not pay , so the keeper is liable. So on your No keeper Liability section  You may prefer  to alter 13 to    . It is trite Law that the driver and the keeper cannot be regarded  as the same person and the claimant has failed to offer any proof who was driving.  BY  only pursuing the keeper  when the PCN does not comply with PoFA must mean that their claim fails. See what the Site team thinks as it should  stop the Judge from looking at who was driving as your statement preempts them from even thinking about it.
    • What would suffice as proof? I just emailed them back my date of birth. Should I send a copy of driving licence? 
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton   MCOL Northampton N1 ? Manual Claim CCMCC (Salford) ? New beta WWW.MONEYCLAIMS.SERVICE.GOV.UK ?   If possible please scan redact and upload a full page copy of page 1 of the claim form.   This has been uploaded in my previous messages in the bundle of documents     Name of the Claimant ? Asset Link Capital (NO5) Limited   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./   14/02/2020   ^^^^^ NOTE : WHEN CALCULATING THE TIMELINE - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE DATE ON THE CLAIMFORM IS ONE IN THE COUNT [example: Issue date 01.03.2014 + 19 days (5 days for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = 19.03.2014 + 14 days to submit defence = 02.04.2014] = 33 days in total Not relevant as his claim was set aside, and has now been brought to the court again by the claimant       Particulars of Claim   What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? Please see bundle of documents in previous thread   What is the total value of the claim? £10,734.1    Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  Yes - this is one of the grounds for getting it set aside   Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card   When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ?  Apparently 2000   Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? I do not recall entering into an agreement with Barclays   Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?  It was, but it is not anymore   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. Assigned to Asset Link   Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No - although they have provided a copy of the assignment notice in their bundle of docs for the hearing   Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I don't remember - but again a copy of a letter has been provided (see bundle on previous thread)   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?  2015   What was the date of your last payment? December 2015   Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved?  I wrote to Barclaycard back in 2015 to ask them to send proof of the original agreement but they just sent me a reconstituted document which had no personal deals on relating to me   Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? yes - step change took control and set up payments of £1 pm

    • 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.

Hello,

I am writing this on behalf of my brother, so I hope I give as much information as possible, and would greatly appreciate any assistance.

 

My brother was employed as a welder and his wife owns a shop, the shop is a LTD company and he was also employed there, well not employed just taking a nominal salary for tax reasons.

 

Anyway, in March this year he was made redundant from his real job as a welder and the shop was running into hard times so they made him redundant also, not so concerned about the shop as it was a tax thing, but the welder was his main job.

 

He has a policy with Pinnacle, he made a claim and for the last 4months they have paid out.

 

Then out of the blue they send an agent from a 3rd party company to see if he is genuinely looking for work, get copy of his CV etc..

 

Well they also wanted a to see his bank statements, he had nothing to hide so showed them and the 'agent' saw £2000 being paid in cash and then £2000 going out to his wifes shop - he stated this was normal as his wifes bank HSBC charged 35p per £100 going in to a business account - so they pay weekly cash into the personal account and then do an internet transfer to the business account - thereby paying 30p for the internet transfer instead of £7.00 for paying the cash in.

 

The agent seemed OK with this, then 3 weeks ago he had a phone call stating they had stopped his claim as on the website for the shop it says "Paul and Andrea have owned the shop since 2000" - and as a result he was still running a business and demanded the 4payments back.

 

He explained that it is a LTD company, his wife is a director and he plays NO part in the business (the books will show last years loss also).

 

They explained a clause in the contract that states "Unemployment means being entirely without gainful employment (which includes the assisting, managing and/or the carrying on of any part of the day to day running of a business)".

 

He stated he does not, his wife is the director and he plays no part in it, companies house shows his wife as the director since 2000 and he is the secretary only.

 

He genuinely does not work there.

 

A few days ago the insurance company send him a letter demanding 3yrs P60 and Bank statements relating to the business and personal accounts since December 2006.

 

My questions are (amongst many).

 

If the insurance company accepted his claim, and he has been complying with the terms (sending in job apps etc/signing on) - if they stop his claim later on does he have to do anything or is the responsibility on the insurance company to show why they have stopped the claim ?

 

Can they demand bank statements from a person who is not a director/working for a company - surely they would have to write to the company as its a seperate legal entity and they would be under NO obligation to send them (they have nothing to hide, but its priciple) - without a court order.

 

The claim started in April 2007, why they want bank statements from December 2006 I am confused by, but can they ask for them ?? - the policy conditions do not state they can have them ... as its a joint account with his wife and he is the only claimant - she is entitled to her human rights (privacy etc..) and to just send bank statements with all her personal stuff on she thinks is wrong.

 

The stopping of this insurance is causing him to go overdrawn, are they liable for charges if they stopped without lawful reason ?

 

 

 

He has sent them a letter with £10 asking for SAR - as he wants to know on what basis they cancel his claim, this was only sent a few days ago.

 

 

He has another policy which he pays £70 per month for, this one with pinnacle is £32 .. the £70 he has had no problems with but this one seems to try everything to get out of paying, so I suspect this again is a case of you get what you pay for !!!

 

 

Any advice would be useful as hes very concerned, and hes done nothing wrong apart from hit a bad few months and now he relies on the insurance to overcome this bad time .. they are stiching him up !!!

 

Thanks in advance

FIRSTLY .. I appologise to mods, I posted this in the PPI forum and then noticed an insurance forum .. SORRY !!! :confused:

Well an update to this story, still appreciate any help you can give.

 

Pinnacle have replied with a massive bundle of docuemnts under the freedom of information act etc..

 

In there is a copy of the report from the "investigator" who actually states "there is no evidence of mr xxx working, as a result i have closed my file".

 

They seemed to have picked up on the wording of a website ONLY that reads "Paul and Andrea have owned the shop since 2000" and on this basis alone cancelled the claim.

 

He actually starts work in 2 weeks time and when he goes to the job centre to sign off will send in the final claim form to the insurance company.

 

We have also found out that the letter pinnacle sent to him as part of their appeal (worded "so we can consider your appeal") was actually send as a result of request made by someone in their legal department to assist in their case against him .. so the letter sent, we feel was sent to try and trick him.

 

We feel the decision to cancel his claim is very dubious - is he within his rights to send his final ABI1 from the jobcentre and state "you owe me £xxxx.xx from date to date" - unless the payment is made within 28days I will commence proceedings against you in the county court ??

 

Or does he have to go through a pointess appeals process/refer to the ombudsman .. I would have thought they have creached teir contract and he feels they owe him money so he can go straight to the smal claims court after giving them a letter before action.

 

Your comments very much appreciated
