    • Ok about a year ago i was summonsed to court for a speeding offence, long story short it wasn't me that was driving the vehicle, and i successfully proved that i had not received any paperwork (the reason it went to a summons) because there is a problem with our address, i live at number 7, yet when you look online to enter our address for anything you have 7, 5-7 and 7-9 on our street, one is my address and two are businesses.  The court ruled that there was an issue, and agreed i did not receive any paperwork (aside from me not being the driver) anyway i thought it odd that i never received anything in the post to say that, but they are the courts so i assumed everything would be in order. Now just recently i have been using family members vehicles to get to work and have been insuring the vehicles on a temporary basis. Recently when using a comparison website i would get results and then when i went to make payment it would not let me advance, i had tried this on numerous sites and the same happened, i assumed that it would have been because i have used to many temporary insurances and it may have flagged for whatever reason. So i went to check my license online, and i cant view it, it states below, i called the DVLA and they can not view any details either and have said they will need to raise a case internally to find out what has happened.  My wife and brother seem to think that the courts have screwed up not informed the DVLA of anything, hence i was banned. But surely it wouldn't have taken so long for me to stop being able to insure my vehicle on a temporary basis until just now?? Please can anyone assist as im worried sick now and ive done absolutely nothing wrong, i need my license for my job. It has not been possible to display/match your driving licence.

    • 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 got 2 letters in the same envelope that was posted 2nd class from Cabot Financial 2 days ago,

 

 

1 letter from cabot informing me that i had to get in touch with them to arrange payments to them,

 

 

along with a letter from goldfish stating that they had sold the debt on to cabot,

 

 

I was under the impression that goldfish should have informed me before they sold the debt on,

 

 

I would appreciate it if someone can advice me on this matter.

 

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Barns66.

 

Yes, you should be informed but people don't always play fair.

 

Just to help others advise, can you give any further info:

 

I'm assuming the debt is a credit card?

 

How old is it?

 

Are there any charges?

 

I would also seriously consider sending a request to Cabot for a copy of the agreement. If Cabot do not have this agreement, they have no legal right to harrass you for payment.

 

Use letter N from the link below, with a £1 postal order. Send recorded or special delivery, keeping all receipts and a copy of the letter you send. Don't sign your letter just print your name.

 

CLICK!

 

Best wishes ;)

My husband has been receiving phone calls from 1st Credit regarding his Goldfish account (he won't speak to them, just listens to the messages).These started before Goldfish informed him. In the letter from Goldfish it says that they have assigned his account to 1st Credit.not sure if thats another word for 'sold':) . So I am going to send a cca request off this weekend to 1st Credit and see what they come up with.

ANY charges - all can be reclaimed.

 

Start with the CCA though and when they respond we can take it from them. When you get chance keep reading around the forum to see what experiences others have had. It's amazing how much info you can learn :)

It probably has been rumbling on for a while, but it will take time for a new company to get to grips with everything.

 

The main thing now is to tackle Cabot.

Geez - an apology??!! I'd frame that :p

 

If / when they send anything scan it up for us all to have a look to see whether or not it's enforceable.

 

Well done so far :)

Brilliant - file that very safely!

 

The ball is now in your court. Without an agreement they cannot chase you for this debt.

 

What's your plan of action now?

The best bit in my book is that you don't have to deal with the DCA :p

 

Now it is up to you how you go forward. By law you do not have to make any payments, as without the credit agreement the debt is unenforceable. It does not, however, mean the debt does not exist. If an agreement turns up at a later date, the debt could be enforced via court.

 

Alternatively, you could decide whether to make a full and final settlement offer. Obviously this depends on your financial circumstances.

 

You could make payments that you can afford.

 

If you choose 1 of the last 2 options, you should also reclaim your charges.

 

With all my charges claims, i have had all monies refunded to me in a cheque regardless of whether or not there was an outstanding balance.

Hi

I had a thread in the general debt section about this,sorry if i should not have posted here,i have been dealing with Cabot after Goldfish credit sold the debt onto them, i sent cca to them and eventually received back a letter from them in late April or May stating that they could not locate my agreement and would put it on hold but keeping searching for it.Last Friday Cabot sent me what they call the agreement it's not even signed by them just initialed and a letter on Goldfish headed paper saying the debt as been assigned to Cabot,i had one of these in April saying the same thing, see attached photos.
