    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Not sure how to fill out the form 6.4, can the court help with this or do I have to figure it out myself?

 

(a) insert name and address of person to attend hearing - is this me? also there is a space for date, time and place, do the court fill this bit in?

 

(d) State the names and address of the persons to be served - is this Lowells? If so, do I put Lowells or Andrew Bartle.

 

(e) State the applicants address for service - Is this my address?

I have received copies of the forms back from the court with a date for next month.

 

As I understand this is a review to see if there will be a hearing, or if there are no grounds and my application is rejected.

 

Do I need to take anything to this review?

Can somebody please help me with this, I cannot find the the info I need in other threads.

 

I also need to ask some questions via PM as I do not want to post them here for obvious reasons.

 

I don't know what this first hearing is for or what I need to take with me, and may have made a mistake on my application to have the SD set aside.

 

I almost want to pay the Fu*%ers just to make this stop.

PLEASE can somebody advise me on what to do next as I cannot find a thread that mentions what I need to take with me to this first hearing/review.

 

Ideally I would like to hear from someone who has been through this and can tell me exactly what to expect.

 

Thanks

Alex do not panic. I assume you have applied to have the SD Set Asidee on the grounds that Clownells have not responded to your CCA request. If this is the case then you have done all you need to do. Just go along to the Court on the date in question and tell the Judges this. A Set Aside hearing is a simple matter and will be over fairly quickly. I doubt if the Leeds Losers will be even bothered to turn up. Make sure to ask the Court for your costs

Thanks ODC, Yes failure to respond to my CCA request is the reason I stated. I will take a folder along with all supporting documents just in case.

 

One question - The SD was from Lowell Portfolio I Ltd. On the SD set aside form I stated that I had sent my request for a copy of the original CCA to Lowell Financial Ltd (which I did), I understand that they are one in the same, do the courts understand this?

 

I just want to make sure this is o.k, I should have checked this before I submitted the forms. I do not want to look stupid or for them to throw it out because of my error.

 

This is the reason I have been stressing the last few days.

Hi alex,

 

I`m not sure myself, but on the letters I`ve had, they read Lowell Financial were the DCA acting on behalf of Lowell Portfolio who had purchased this debt.

 

Although, like you say, they are they same bunch of idiots sharing a desk, a Judge may see them as seperate companies.

 

I don`t know, but I understand your question.

 

Anyone else?

 

 

 

N.P

A check of Companies house reveals that Lowell Portfolio I, Lowell Financial, Red Debt and Hampton Legal are different entities of the same. The directors are the same and for some strange reason they all seem to be living at 1 Apex View, Leeds.

 

For some obscure reason they dont wish to give out their home addresses as most other UK Company Directors seem to have to.

I have the very first letter sent to me by Lowell Portfolio I, they state in the letter that all future communications and payments must be addressed to Lowell Financial Ltd.

 

I will be taking that letter to court.

Is it worth CCA'ing Lowell Portfolio I Ltd, to cover myself? I have enough time.

 

Could this be one of their tactics?

Did someone mention JB? As in JBDR?

Is that good or bad?

I doubt these empty heads will get very far anyway without a CCA, especially as they are just a DCA who have bought a debt and don`t have any paperwork to back anything up.

 

I think they are trying to break you.

 

Keep digging in, then kick the s**t out of them!

I have learned a lot in the past months since joining the CAG, and I feel the best way to get back at the DCA's is to make as many people as possible aware of their rights when it comes to dealing with these ****.

 

Thanks again to everyone who has helped me so far.

Firstly a big thank you to all on the forum who have helped me over the last 9 months, I could not have got through this without you all.

 

I had my set a side hearing this week, the set a side was granted, with costs being awarded in full (over £200). The Judge was very understanding and said my paperwork was excellent. Lowell did not even turn up.

 

If a mod could change the thread title to Alex_Delarge V's Lowell **WON** that would be great.

 

Soon as the cheque arrives I will be making a well deserved donation to the forum.

 

I'm off to celebrate with a cup of Tea.

 

Thames Credit, I'm ready for you now!
