    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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,

 

I have a small debt to Aqua MasterCard (£300) and it is being handled by 1st Credit.

 

On the 28th December I sent a CCA request by recorded delivery and have received this response from them this morning:

 

000_0215.jpg

 

 

Could I ask for advice on what my next move should be, particularly in response to paragraph 2 and 4.

 

Many thanks!:smile:

Hi there Boa,

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

Are you paying anything towards this debt? If you are then wait 12 working days from the day they received your request and stop paying them.

 

Clearly they are simply acting on behalf of Aqua Mastercard and at present, don`t have a CCA themselves, although one could still turn up.

 

At the moment you do nothing, just wait to see waht turns up next, you are not obliged to talk to them on the phone either, everything in writing.

 

The £10 charge would be for a copy of the statements for the account in question. If you sent Aqua a SAR, you could get upto 6 years of statements from them then check to see if any charges have been applied to the account, which would bring down the alleged debt.

 

So, for the time being, sit tight.

 

Regards

Hi N.P,

 

Thanks for your reply .... :)

 

I have been making monthly payments to 1st Credit but I advised them in a separate letter that I would not be able to continue to do so and I made a renewed offer of nominal payment only (£1.50) and sent a cheque for that amount ... it has been cashed at my bank today!

 

The card was issued about this time last year.

Hi boa,

 

Just wait until the 12 working days are up and if they still haven`t shown up with anything it`s then upto you if you want to stop payments.

 

In the mean time, just let them get on with whatever these fools do. It`s upto them to comply with your request now. Don`t think your obliged to send them a reminder, because your not. Just let them fester, like the parrassites they are. Parrassites are not that bad really, they live of others to survive, but these scrotums just terrorise people for fun.

 

As the account is only a year old they may well have a CCA, but you never know.

 

Anyway, catch you later.

 

Regards

I received a further two letters in the post this morning one dated 8th Jan (1st scan) and the other dated 11th Jan.

 

I'm puzzled by the contents of both letters as they seem to be ignoring issue of my CCA request.

'request for copy invoices' ... whats that all about:confused:

 

Any advice on how to proceed from here would be appreciated .... or, do I still sit tight?

 

The 12 days expired yesterday.

 

The letters .........

Hi Boa,

 

Looks like they are just keeping you in the picture as to what they are doing.

 

They still haven`t sent you your CCA, so just let them keep fumbling about with whatever they are fumbling about with.

 

Remember, no CCA = Unenforceable Debt!

 

Just keep waiting to see what they come up with next.

Hello all,:)

 

Okay, I have had further correspondence from 1st Credit concerning my Aqua account.

 

To summarise, on 28th December I sent a CCA request to 1st Credit, they responded by sending letters (copies previously posted to this thread) ... a little over 2 weeks ago I received a bunch of 'copy invoices' on plain paper but no true copy of the CCA.

 

This was followed quite quickly by a further letter 'introducing 1st Credit' to me, (I have been dealing with them for 6 months) advising that the debt had been assigned to them and as a result the full amount outstanding was due to them .. immediately!

 

It went on to say I should make no further payments to Aqua .. (that in it's self is odd as I have been paying 1st Credit for the last 5 months) and that should I require a copy of any 'personal information' that they hold on me, they would, in accordance with Data Protection Act 1988 and on receipt of a fiver, be happy to comply. :confused:

 

Then today, I received a further letter threatening 'legal proceedings' asking that I should take this 'final opportunity to make contact'.

 

So, any advice as to where I stand on this at present ... I still have not received a true copy of the CCA, unless of course the bunch of invoices fulfills their obligation under the request.

 

I have been paying a nominal £5 a month since October, reducing it to £1.50 in December at the point that I made the CCA request!

 

Would really like some advice here ..... many thanks,

 

Boa.......

OK....well you should have received an assignment from Aqua themselves saying that the debt has been assigned to.......it would be interesting to see how much of the remaining balance is made up of excessive charges (don't forget you can add 8% in compounded interest to the excessive charges)....the only way you could find out is to send a SAR to Aqua to get your statements (unless you already have them).....(it may even be possible that they owe you !!!).....as NP has already said the debt is unenforceable due to non production of the CCA...if it were me after the non production of the CCA after 12+2+30 days I would stop paying them.

 

And don't forget the OFT's debt collection guidelines state this...

 

2.8 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

 

k. not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt.

Hi 42man,

 

Yes I did get an assignment notification almost immediately after I sent the CCA request, (see copy, #8 of this thread) ....

 

So, would I best send a stroppy letter reminding them of OFT guidelines in particular 2.8 (k)?

Ah, sorry 42man ...

 

I have just read your post again, properly this time .

No I didn't get an assignment notice from Aqua, only the letter previously imaged in this thread.

 

Boa....

OK, well you should have got a letter FROM the BOS/Aqua they have to send you a default notice too and a letter of assignment.....and yes it might be worth writing to them...edit to suit...

 

Dear sir

 

I refer to my letter dated xxxxx which was delivered via Recorded Delivery to your offices on xxxx.

 

You have failed to supply the requested documents. The documents I requested should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect this account.

 

In my letter of the xxxx I made a formal request for a copy of the signed, executed credit agreement for the above account under Section 77(1) and Section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 .

 

You are reminded that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, as defined under Section 189 of the CCA 1974.

 

The Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for this request to be carried out before your company enter into a default situation. If the request is not satisfied after a further 30 calendar days, your company commit an offence. These time limits expired on xxxx and xxxx respectively.

 

As you are no doubt aware, Section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1) -

 

(a) He is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore on xxxx this account became unenforceable at law and no further payment will be made by myself to the account, as you have failed to comply with a bona-fide request for a true signed copy of the said agreement, under the relevant sections of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Further, i do not acknowledge any debt to 1st Credit.

 

I require the following action from 1st Credit :

 

1. All payments made to date to 1st Credit for this account should be refunded in full, including interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

 

2. Removal of all defaults entered by First Credit. Note this is to be a complete deletion and not merely an amendment.

 

3. I look forward to compensation under Section 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to be offered for the processing of my data in the manner it has been done over the past number of years.

 

4. After a full refund of all payments with interest and compensation are received by myself, you will be required under Section 10 and Section 12 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to cease and desist all manual and automatic processing of my data within your company and any other company within your group.

 

If you do not respond positively to my request, court action may be taken under Section 14 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to force First Credit or any other company within the group to comply with the refund of all monies paid, removal of all defaults maintained and compensation for damage and distress as a result of unlawful data processing. I may also pass the matter to the relevant enforcement authorities including, but not limited to, the OFT, the Information Commissioners Office, Trading Standards, the CSA, the FOS and my local MP.

 

You should also note that it is well known that debts are made up entirely of excessive charges. And it may be the case that you OWE ME !!

 

I look forward to your reply within 14 days to resolve the matter amicably.

Hi boa,

 

Just caught up on your thread.

 

42man seems to have kept you on the right track.

 

Just remember, NO CCA = UNENFORCEABLE DEBT, but that won`t stop them trying to baffle you with bull****, LOL.

 

Just incase they do turn up with a CCA, you`ll need to scan it up on here ASAP so everyone can check it out.

 

I`ll keep watching.

Okay, I received a response from 1st Credit this morning in the form of a letter outlining 1st Credit Limited 'Complaint Procedure'.

 

Would it be possible for some kind member to cast an eye over the letter and advise me accordingly .... this is a first for me and I wish to get it right first time!

Hi boa,

 

How you doing matey?

 

Well, I`ve never had anything that like back either, in fact I don`t seem to be getting anything back, LOL.

 

As it reads, it just their complaint procedure, should you wish to make a formal complaint.

 

You could either make a formal complaint or you could just blank it and everything else they throw at you as they STILL haven`t supplied your CCA.

 

Remember, your only interested in your CCA, not a load of crap!

 

NO CCA = UNENFORCEABLE DEBT, ANYTHING ELSE = CRAP.

Mornin all :D ,

 

Okay, I have had a further letter from 1st Credit this morning in response to sending a copy of the letter template offered in 42man's post #15.

 

000_0658-2.jpg

 

000_0659-1.jpg

 

So, as you can see from this letter, they are now saying that I did not pay the fee required when making the request.

 

I made a CAA request on 28th December 2007

 

I enclosed a crossed PO made payable to 1st Credit Ltd in the sum of £1

 

I sent the letter with the PO by recorded delivery on the 28th December 2007.

 

I have the post office stamped (orange) receipt.

 

I have the post office printed transaction details of the postal order which includes voucher ID number and to whom I made it payable.

 

I now have proof of delivery from the Royal Mail website after entering the recorded delivery reference number.

 

I am currently trying to find a telephone number in order to speak with the Post Office postal order team in Chesterfield to establish the actual date that the postal order was cashed by 1st Credit .... if anyone has that number I would be grateful.

 

In the meantime may I once again call on advice on how to proceed from here ..... :mad: [EDIT]
