    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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 Mechs

I sent the 'Data Protection - Subject Access Request' letter 16/6/06 and received a bog standard reply acknowledgement, statements ordered and will be sent cheque has been cashed and don't know if I should be hassling them now.

Do the 40 days start from the date on my letter or the date the cheque clears? I keep rereading the faqs and various threads but am assuming that since my letter was acknowledged the time scale is based on my 1st contact.

 

its good to know there is a wealth of support within this forum:)

just trying to fill in mcol now i have written the following

 

I have a contract with the defendant bank

since 01-04-99, conducted on their standard

terms and conditions. I am claiming return of money taken by the defendant in way of

charges over the last 6 years and interest

they have levied on the charges. The bank's

charges are a disproportionate penalty, therefore unenforceable as they are contrary to common law. Further, as a disproportionate penalty they are invalid under the Unfair (Contracts)

Terms Act 1977 s.4 and under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.Para.8 and sch.2(1)(e). In the event that the charges are not a penalty then they are unreasonable within the meaning of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 s.15. I have repeatedly asked the bank to justify charges but they have declined to do so.

The claimant also claims interest under

section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at

the rate of 8% a year from 1-06-00 to

1-09-06 of £1947.98 and interest at the

same rate up to the date of judgment or

earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.00022

 

so if they bank are serving a default saying that I have not conducted the account appropriately and am in breach of the terms and conditions should i be panicking?? the bit at the top of the claim says the 'account

is conducted on their standard terms and conditions' bit concerned about this default business :(

I was under the impression that they couldn't default you whilst it was in dispute.

 

I'm sure one of the mods will correct me if I'm wrong....

£1947 seems rather high. Is this your charges + 8% interest?

This figure should be the 8% interest on your charges as in the Simple s/s

The daily rate is just your charges X 0.000222 eg £495 x 0.00022= £0.11p

aargh

trying to work out my sums for mcol

total charges claiming £1,946

8% of that is 155.68 now do i multiply this by 6 (years which makes £9934.08??????????)

or do i submit my daily rate of 0.00022 which is £162.92?

 

useless at maths and completely flumoxed

Hi Ruthie, deep breaths......

 

the 8% interest is charged from the date it was incurred, if it occured exactly one year ago it would obviously be 365 days. If the charge was £30, it would be (£30 x 0.00022) x 365 = £2.41

 

The easiest way to do this is using the simple excel spreadsheet, you just put in the date, the amount and it works the interest out for you.

The 8% is applied by the spreadsheet in the templates, it calculates this based the number days since the charge was applied. You cannot simply add 8% to the added up total to date as this is the interest rate over the YEAR. Some charges may be older than a year (= more interest) and some less than a year (= less interest).

 

Have you used the spreadsheet provided on the site to produce your schedule of charges?

Hi there, you don't send the schedule of charges to the courts unless you get to the AQ stage, then you need to supply more info about the case.

 

currently the halifax are not taking it to that stage though, and are settling after a week or so from acknowledging.

 

Good Luck!

Ignore previous comment, It was based on a friends experience where the northhampton court actually sent the schedules back saying that they were not required at this time!

 

read the following post's which appear to be better informed - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/halifax-bank/37257-sending-schedule-mcol.html

congrats on yours though they made a quick decision there. hope mine will be the same

 

Cheers ruthieanne, still haven't actually received the cash yet though :mad:.

 

Considering ringing them and being arsey about the daily interest rate that they have 'forgotten' to add in, but really need them to pay up this week as am racking up more charges as we speak (the £250 MCOL fee has made the month VERY tight!).

 

Good Luck!
