    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.

    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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,

Now we have encountered another problem with one the dca,this time is Eversheds solicitors who are agents for an original Virgin cc who passed it to MBNA who now are Eversheds,

 

Well we made this months payment through payplan and all was going well until yesterday when I noticed that payment to Eversheds was saying the status was not ok (NO) in the box,i phoned Payplan and they said to phone Eversheds and ask them for the account number to pay this months payment into,OH phoned Eversheds this morning and was told that they will not accept this months or any future paymets and that we have had a letter saying that want full payment.

 

How will that look for Eversheds if they take it to court ,because we dont have the money to pay them its £6,000+ if we had that kind of money we would not be going to through payplan would we?

 

Anyone have any ideas please :rolleyes:

Some creditors and DCAs, and especially MBNA, seem to do this quite often - it's often followed by the application of interest and charges again, and/or demands for a higher monthly payment.

 

If Eversheds are acting for MBNA, then by not passing on payments received they are in breach of the OFT Guidance. Communicating directly with the debtor, and bypassing an authorised representative (i.e. Payplan), is also a breach of the guidance.

 

Payplan should be gripping Eversheds for you; you may need to remind them.

 

Try this to Eversheds:

 

Thank you for your letter dated xxxxx, the content of which is noted.

 

You will know that the Office of Fair Trading Guidance on Debt Collection states that failing to pass on payments within a reasonable time is an unfair practice, as is contacting a debtor directly and bypassing an authorised representative.

 

As you know, Payplan are my authorised representatives in this matter; you should therefore contact them directly, copying your letters to me.

Payplan said they are going to contact Eversheds in a weeks time to request the account number so they can continue paying them,Payplan said its just another way of Eversheds wanting more money from us,but Payplan said we cannot afford to pay them anymore and Payplan are going continue paying Eversheds the payment,I am going to email Payplan next Friday again see if they have got anywhere with it,

We would love to not pay them,but at the moment we have 1st credit up our backsides threatening court action and charging orders ...so we are not going to let either have any advantage over us incase they go to court,by paying them we can say to a judge,"hey ! we paid them and they refused " its got to look good for our side surely :rolleyes:

apparently while OH was on the phone to Eversheds,they said that they want full payment and if they dont get it they will take court action..

 

1st credit threatened us with this ,but that loan is in both our names but they said they are going for a ccj and charging order on our home and will force the sale to get their money back,we have just sent off a letter asking them for a CCA which we posted recorded delivery and enclosed a £1 PO and we just got a letter back saying they will contact their clients and get back to us lol

 

But Eversheds threatening court action against my husband ,well that debt is in his name only so not sure what step they could take against him not sure if charging orders are allowed on if its not joint debt..

 

Also would you advise us to send Eversheds a letter asking for a CCA or wait until we get another letter see what threats they make ?

 

Thanks for you help..:confused:

Always, always, always send a CCA. You'd be amazed how few are actuallt enforceable. Have a look at my recent surprise: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/136568-your-agreement-um-we.html

 

That was for over £3000.

 

I've been waiting a few months for Thames Credit to come back to me on a CCA for over £10,000. Highly unlikely they have that either.

 

Again .... Always, always, always CCA.

MY husband has just said that he needs to send a CCA to Eversheds,we will be posting that on Monday along with £1 PO.

 

I have noticed that most of our creditors have passed the debts onto other agencies should we send for CCA on those also even though they are all being paid through dmp,i dont like the thought of stopping payment as keeping payment going is a feather in our caps if they ever take it to court ;)

It's your right to request a CCA at any time to prove a DCAs legal right to collect, and also a statement of account which is free of charge to see if they've added or are adding any nasty little surprises of their own.

update on Eversheds,

We received a letter today telling us that they are starting court proceedings for a ccj and charging order on our property ,but they have no intention of making us sell ,nice of them .

 

But how can they do this when they wont even give Payplan the account number so we can pay into ?

 

We are sending them a request for the original CCA,see what happens now :mad:

If they do start proceedings, make sure that you take control of court proceedings

 

According to threads here, Payplan would admit the debt if you let them

 

You should contest it, even if you were to fail - you would be no worse off but potentially a lot better off!

Hi, Eversheds have to prove you owe the money, then get a CCJ, then if you let them get that far they could apply for a charging order. I would not worry. CCA, if nothing arrives in 12 working days + 2 posting days the account is then in dispute, and you will not have to make payments until they prove it!!!!.

Well, well - it seems Eversheds have been busy recently as we got exactly the same letter in the post today! The time has now just expired for them to provide us with our CCA and the letter to them is going off tomorrow. Advised them of this last week when they phoned again but as usual they said they were unaware of our request & in any case weren't obliged to send the CCA (if they had it) as they were goverened by the Solicitors Society (I think he meant Law Society). They are acting for Arrow Global for a debt which is 11 years old.

Catwoman,

 

Not wishing to hijack this thread

 

Why do you have to tell them that they are in default of your request?. They should no this already, IMHO better to wait for 30 more days and let them hang themselves even more. No enforceable CCA is a complete defence to a County Court Claim should they be stupid enough to issue one on a potentially statute barred debt. Again IMHO they are probably just trying to bully you into paying.

Beau,

 

I wanted to write to them just really to rub their noses in it! Eversheds always have an answer to everything - basically I get the feeling they think they are above the law. Was told yesterday that court papers are on their way. I will be asking questions on here when they arrive as I want to defend it as much as poss. One other question - why do the papers apparently have to go back to the creditor (ie. Eversheds) first rather than the Court???

Update on Eversheds.

We spoke to payplan today who said we should report Eversheds to the OFT they apparently refused to speak to Payplan on our behalf and also refused payment,so we send in a complaint and also requested a CCA which was sent recorded delivery and i have kept receipts just waiting now,whats the chances of them having the CCA :D

:mad: received court papers today from these muppets and not happy i think something is dodgy here,how can they threaten with court action and tell us by letter only yesterday the letter was dated 16th April,

it says

 

This is to advise you that we have been insturced to bring a county court lcaim agaist you,this will shortly be served on you by the court.

 

Not given us much chance in my opinion.

 

We sent them a letter asking for a CCA and they got it today,but we also got the court papers too today

 

help what do we do now?

 

Payplan want us to admit to the debt,but we dont want to as they have refused payment and if was not for payplan finding the account number then they would still be refusing,

 

I am not letting these muppets get a ccj and charging order on my house,no way..

 

please anyone we need to move fast :o

Ok howmuchdebt,

 

Firstly do not panic, you have time to deal with this, and with help from others on the forums you should be able to defend this claim.

 

Your need to look for the issue date of the claim. You have 5 days plus 14 days to enter the "ackowledgment of service" usually form N9.

 

Once that is entered you have a further 14 days to file a defence with the court.

 

The CCA request that you sent is now pointless, as they have taken it to another level. You have the right to request all info that Eversheds have about you, in the form of a request to them under the Civil Procedure Rules. Unless anyone disagrees with me I think that is your route and will form a major part of your defence (they must show their hand).

 

For the benefit of the legal chaps on here, it would also be usefull if you posted the "particulars of claim" leaving out any personal info of course.

 

As i have posted before you are a long way from having a charging placed against you so try not to worry.

Hi HMD.

 

I am just being dragged through the court process myself.

 

Have a look at this thread by Tomterm8. You will find a template for the Civil Procedures Rule (CPR) info request. Send it off ASAP by SPECIAL DELIVERY. It is in your favour that they have not responded to your CCA request. Keep all your previous correspondence and receipts.

 

Can i ask, were any charges added to this account?

 

When you acknowledge your claim you can say you are going to defend in full as they have not provided an agreement. Just be sure to acknowledge within the time limits.

 

As Beau has said, if you can post up your Particulars of Claim (POC), that will help with further advice from the those in the legal know ;)

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

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.
