    • have you informed the bank ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.
    • a CCJ does not 'expire' thus does not need any application to a court to 'extend it'. if a CCJ has not been enforced within 6yrs, then it is very unlikely any court would grant such should the claimant return to court, of which the defendant would be advised -( unless they have moved and not informed the court & the claimant such) .  
    • I contacted them when it happened. The caretaker came over, looked at it, and walked off with the tree chunks of mortar. Next morning, they had a roofer come over and enter our garden to inspect it. Friday they were supposed to speak with a scaffolding company. I had to bring up liability and potentially calling the council to report 'an unsafe structure' before they even got moving. They know all about the wedding, the preparations, our patio contractors etc. but their attitude doesn't instill me with confidence. My fear is it will end up being a legal matter which is why I posted here to hopefully receive some advice. As far as I can see, the roof is in a state of disrepair, even if it's just the mortar breaking lose due to the size and weight of the chunks - and even from ground level it's visibly clear that multiple pieces have fallen over time (though never this size so we haven't been able to identify the issue till now - we thought it was rubble left in the garden by the previous owner). Currently, we can't use 25% of our garden due to the risk of more falling mortar which is more than just an inconvenience, we can't proceed with our contractors, and at worst, it will run up in several thousand of extra expenses for us, if we have to find a wedding venue. Even if they do have it fixed in time, and we have to settle for renting a marquee and floor for the marquee and furniture and whatnot it will be additional costs only due to the neighbour's roof.
    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments.

    • 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.

are hard to understand and often know nothing about UK laws, customs and rights.

 

TBH, I think this is why major companies put their 'customer call centres' overseas. Rely on the fact it's offshore, consider they may not have to abide by UK laws. Just an idea. ;) Oh, and to make it very difficult for customers to get anywhere ... note, most of their sales team are based in the UK call centres for new cards.

 

Spoke to them on the phone yesterday ... firstly, I asked if I was speaking to Debitas ... they offered to 'well, I can give you the number or transfer you'. Just confirming they were one and the same, really. Obviously, already knew that, just wanted to hear it from them.

 

They are already intending to default me yet are in default on my CCA request. Don't what passes for filing or record keeping with these people but it's seemingly attrocious. And for a major company like Capital One ... doesn't say a lot. I mean, you'd expect a big company to at least have a basic record keeping system ... Ooops!

The use of names like 'Debitas' really angers me- why do they have to choose these utterly meaningless faux-Latin/English hybrid business bingo names??? They are supposed to sound wise and powerful/meaningful, but they actually sound as stupid as [edited]. Consignia was horrendous, as was Corus, but the worst by far is Intrum Justicia. What a totally scrotal pile of nonsensical linguistic elephant dung that name is. As authentic as a tudor beam in a Barratt home.

 

ARGGGGH! :mad:

Really don't know re Capital One, Debitas or any other DCA/creditor is concerned ... they do what they like. Without consequence. Apparently. Human life has little value in modern times it would seem.

Capone are getting loopier by the minute. They sent me their standard loo paper for an agreement and I didn't reply. Five months later they sent me a letter saying they had contacted CCCS and didn't get a reply - I haven't had a DMP with CCCs since last November and they were informed at the time. Will they ever catch up with themselves? I doubt it very much. I haven't replied to that letter either and I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Are they that stupid? Unbelievably so.

Subscribing. I've had the letter threatening legal action from 'H L Legal' too on behalf of capquest. :rolleyes: That was back in early August, and in a panic I sent CQ a small sum in an effort to stall them for more time. That was before I discovered CAG and realised the bigger picture. ;-)

 

CQ are getting CCA'd today.
