    • IMG_2820-IMG_2820-merged.pdfmerged.pdf Case management was this morning. Here is the Sheriff’s order. Moved case forward to 24/05.   He said there was no signed agreement and after a bit of “erm, erm, yeah but, erm” when he asked them, he allowed time for sol to contact claimant.  what is the next step now? thank you UCM  
    • I've had a quick (well, quick for a thread of this length),  read of this thread and to be honest I'm struggling to make heads nor tails of the actual crux of the issue here. You seem awfully convinced that whatever is going on is worth the fight and the odds are in your favour but with how the thread has gone it seems that one trail goes cold so you simply move on to another in an attempt to delay the inevitable. All it does is end up digging holes and confusing others and yourself which means any advice given to you is completely pointless. I note that for the life of this thread there has not been any documentation or correspondence uploaded for people to have a look. Have you got any that you'd be willing to redact and upload for members to assist you? Right now, it seems people are shooting out advice while being in the dark because it's starting to become very difficult for people who weren't here at the start of this (including myself) to follow along. Right now, this whole thread is just hypothetical "He said, she said" and is going nowhere fast. Nothing more than basic advice can be given which, as you've sought out some legal advice, is likely not sufficient to actually come to any sort of conclusion. I, personally, am starting to agree with others that it may be best to consider bankruptcy and put the matter behind you.  
    • Thanks for coming back to us. There are no guarantees - but remember that so far MET have not had the guts to put even a single case before a judge.  Not once. Yours is one of seven court cases. Three ongoing like yours. In two MET bottled it as Witness Statement stage approached. In one the allocating judge decided their Particulars of Claim were rubbish and threw the case in the bin. Just the one victory by MET by default when the motorist stupidly didn't file a defence. So there is every chance that MET will throw in the towel in your case too if you stand firm. Please keep us informed of what is happening. Regarding being abroad, that is no reason for things going wrong, you can request an on-line hearing and we've had several cases where the PPC gave up when the motorist moved abroad. But please keep us in the loop.

    • 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 everyone, I posted this in the Scotland section earlier but it's not very active in there so I thought I'd post it in here as this seems the best place to get some advice. I've just signed up today and still getting to grips with this site.

 

I received a letter at my home address in N Ireland from TNC who are based in Glasgow. They say that I owe £1032 to Abertay Uni which I attended but left 3 years ago.

 

On the letter it says that I have 7 days to pay this back or court proceedings will be taken?

 

I am living in Scotland but I'm from N Ireland and my mum informed me of the letter that arrived back in my N Ireland address. She called them up herself and they were asking stuff about me but she wouldn't reveal anything. TNC wouldn't talk in detail with her as it's me they're needing to talk to.

 

I'm not sure what the debt recovery is for. I didn't complete my final year at university but I certainly won't be able to pay that sum of money off in 7 days.

 

I just don't know what to do. I could manage monthly payments but I don't want to call TNC as they were rude to my mother and I know they will try to intimidate me.

 

Do I really need to contact TNC within 7 days to stop this from going to court? This is the first letter I've ever received from them and it came out of the blue.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Never ever speak to any company who are demanding money. They can tell you something that you will not be able to prove later.

 

Only have correspondence with them by letter.

Thank you for the replies!

 

I received 2 letters. The first was from TNC Collectors and here's a couple of extracts.

 

The letter is dated the 30th of April

 

"Please take note, unless you make payment within 7 days, legal proceedings may be started against you."

 

Another part reads.. "a Judgement order against you may become a public record".

 

The second letter is dated the 8th of May and is from Sloane Portland associates and talks about litigation services.

 

Client: TNC Legal

 

"Unless you make payment of the above debt or contact TNC with a proposal for settlement within 7 days, court proceedings may be instituted against you.

 

If legal action is taken against you, it will become a public record" blah blah...

 

So should I just send them a letter? They don't appear to know my current address. Should I include my current address in the letter?

 

Anything else I should do?

 

Thanks for your help :)

So now instead of threats of bailiffs etc they are trying the 'embarrasment' that others may know you have a debt tactic.

 

I bet your quaking in your boots.

 

Have you written that letter yet asking what the outstanding is for and will they please send you proof that you owe anything. You can't do anything until you have done that.

Hi Conniff.

 

I'm going to type the letter up tomorrow at work and send it off. I should send the letter as recorded delivery right?

 

I just find it quite intimidating and totally uncalled for that I get a letter out of the blue, 3 years after leaving university saying that if I don't pay over £1000 back or contact TNC within 7 days then court proceedings and such may occur.

 

I'm glad I found this site as there seems to be quite knowledgeable people like yourself who can help me with a matter like this.

 

:)

Hi Exocet

 

Yes, always send recorded. If they don't like what you have requested, they will say they haven't received it and put the blame on Royal Mail.

 

Do 'not' admit or even hint of an admittance that there may be an outstanding amount owed to someone.

A letter arrived today at my old address in N Ireland. In it is a compliments slip and a statement of account.

 

On the statement there are 17 different dates with debits, credits and balances.

 

It then shows the outstanding total as £1032

 

On the compliments slip it says to make all payments out to TNC blah blah.

 

Peace and quiet for almost 2 months and this just had to spoil it!

 

Any suggestions as to what I should do next? I really would appreciate help!

What are the charges for? Is the statement from the University, or has it been generated by TNC?

 

Sloane Portland appears to be a 'trading style' of TNC - in other words, just another desk in their hive. Interestingly, there's no record of the name being registered with ICO.

 

TNC seem to be quite busy chasing old university accounts - I wonder if they've bought them.

It looks like the statement is from the university with various debits, credits and balances over the years that I was at university. It seems the money owed is for accommodation fees for one year and tuition fees for another. I wasn't aware of this at the time and it's taken more than 3 years for it to come to this...

 

Interesting you should mention Portland Sloane as one of the letters I received from TNC stated that they had passed this on to Sloane Portland.

The thing is, at my last year of uni I never completed it and left in feb/march I think it was. I know they unregistered me around feb/march of my last year so that was a good 2 months before the end of the uni year.

 

It's just so long ago that I can't remember a lot of things. But I do know when they had unregistered me from uni.

 

Should I write back to TNC?
