    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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.

just when i thought it was safe to ignore the idiots regarding the first account.

 

Bearing in mind they paid the full amount give or take a gnats whisker into my account last week or the week before (im drunk on the power of spending)

i recieved via a phone convo with my mum today court papers.. so logged on to moneyclaim

 

halifax

 

XXXXXX

 

Defence

 

You are unable to take any further action online on this claim.

 

The Defendant disputes the whole amount you have claimed. Your claim cannot proceed online and will be transferred to the appropriate court for continuation. You will receive confirmation to where the claim has been transferred to shortly.

 

ok so being they paid me already on what grounds could they file a defence??

 

Gross stupidity, fatcatitis, gratuitous greediness or my favourite, not knowing ones a$$ from ones elbow??

 

i know they disputed about £200 which i agree was a typo.. should i let it go to court or should i ring the court and let them know i have already received payment?

 

Although i cant prove it was them who paid me...

 

anyway i am also having issues with my other account. Further to my phone call requesting an address change..... they have put a block on my account because they have had mail returned... which is exactly what i told matey boy on the phone would happen.. when he told me "you need to fill in a specific form" so i blew my stack today. Turns out i dont need a form a need to send a letter. Which i could of sent during the week. So anyway i have drafted a letter stating that if my daughters nursery fees get bounced due to them finally following the terms and conditions that they so willingly ignore when it suits their own purposes and i get a penalty as a result they will end up in court, and if my three year old daughter gets turned away from nursery because one of their staff failed to inform me that a letter would suffice they will find themself liable for any emotional trama she should suffer.

Okay, I really have no experience in this (yet) and therefore don't know what I'm talking about.

 

But...

 

Could it be that they are trying to confuse you?

 

Could it be that they have left £3 unpaid so that they can still defend this (small) amount.

 

Then if you were to fail to communicate further - thinking you've already won ("why bother anymore with the legal hassel over 3 quid?!"), then they win by default and could request BACK the £2k odd that they have already paid.

 

Wonder what will happen next, I suppose you play along just incase. Let them humour you :), don't let them think they've gotten away with that last £3 - even if it IS a hellofalot closer to the ACTUAL amount of costs they've "incurred" becasue of your misbehaviour. ;)

Do any of the mods have any ideas on this one?? im tempted on one hand to let it ride and go to court and see what happens (whilst in the mean time spending every penny and closing the account) on the other i could just ring the court and say they have paid up so im not sure how they are defending the entire amount.

 

If i havent heard anything from you guys i will ring the court tomorrow and let them know that halifax have paid and so there is no need to proceed.

 

Although it would be funny to turn up in court an say "im not sure why they dragged me here as they paid up weeks ago"

The lack of communication between their depts is scary.

 

 

ps my typing sucks as my bank manager just paid for acrylic nails an i cant get used to them LOL

oh and i forgot.. they paid in the odd £3 too so they are defending the whole amount that i claimed.. but they wrote to me and said that was wrong and i agreed with their amended sum.. and thats what they paid me.. so Arrgghhh..

 

Basically one dept paid me the correct amount minus interest even though it was mentioned in the money claim form.. you win some you loose some..

 

Another dept is defending the entire claim

 

neither dept has written to me to acknowledge they have or havent paid me

 

i recieved court papers for staines court.

 

i should know life is never simple but it never ceases to amaze me..

 

input gratefully received as always.

Hi,

 

Any updates on this?? What did you do with the court papers?

 

Is there anything to defend if you are satisfied and they paid up?

 

Is this a usual thing to happen? I'm very curious about all this.

 

Regards.

Update. I Win again.

 

THE HALIFAX ARE PANSY'S

 

I did nothing i decided to wait for a reply to my letter asking for them to pay the interest as i hadnt had an acknowledgement.

 

Today i recieved a letter (via my mother) saying that they were paying £515.33 into my account by way of interest and would i please notify the court that they had settled without liability.

 

I checked my bank account this morning, the interest was paid in, in cash on Monday.

 

My advice to all new commers is: Tell them what you want, Tell them when you want it, Sit back and let them sweat.

 

In my case it worked hopefully it will for you too.
