    • Thank you to you all, you guys are amazing!! Yes of course i will be making a donation, i am very grateful to you all. Keep up the good work
    • I'm not quite out of the woods yet. The email they sent me also said that I have £290 of arrears and it has been passed onto their collections department. If anything my account should be £10 in credit.  They haven't taken into account the trainers that were returned back in October. The other items have been credited to my account so it looks like I've still got work to do.  They are not very quick to reply to emails, although I've only sent one trying to find more information, and I have no idea what happens next. Half of me want's to get it sorted properly the other half just wants it over with, if that means a default then so be it. 
    • No. It's a public (council maintained) road with some houses in it.   Some other houses back onto it too and those owners have right of way down the road to access the back of their properties.  Theres a few garages with private osp - so one drives out the garage, over the osp, and onto the public side road and then out on to the public main road.  Irrespective of whether the garages are used - the local businesses parking their cars on the private osp are ostensibly preventing cars from accessing the public roads.
    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?

    • 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.

Help Please.

My original threads have been lost so I would really appreciate it if someone could read the attached and let me know if there are any comments/improvements and if there is any other advice.

I plan to go to Court and make Application to set aside tomorrow (18 day deadline next week).

 

Bare bones of my situation is that Legal & Receivables have served me with SD on two debts (1 credit card, 1 loan). This was done by hand nd so seems they are seriously threatening.

I have sent to them 2 separate CCA's & £1 each (all logged and tracked) and the 12 days are ticking down.

I have had letter back to say they are requesting the docs from their client (Pheonix Recoveries). The debts were apparently assigned from HSBC, and having had agreement from HSBC to pay nominal amount every month until situation improves, L&R (LARGO) have taken the big step and threatened that if I do not pay in full within the 21 days, they are going to petition for bankruptcy. (family home mortgaged !).

 

Any advice would be welcomed, or similar experience in dealing with this DCA.

Apologies to those that have already helped me out (BIG THANKS), but had to start a new thread again.

 

Thanks for reading

In my own opinion, you have done an excellent job here....it might be worth including the CCA request too + the recorded delivery slip as evidence.

 

Don't forget to add a sheet for your costs too !!!

 

Wilson v First County Trust is for the Agreement

Wilson v Hurstanger is for the Prescribed Terms

Woodchester Lease Management Services Ltd v Swain and Co is for the default notice...

 

AND

 

unlawful rescission of contract which would not only prevent the court enforcing any alleged debt, but give me a counter claim for damages Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society

 

Have a look at this thread here to fine tune.....

42 Man....brilliant help thank you for posting so quickly.

I will amend as suggested and check out your thread.

 

Thanks to all the threads I have read, I feel at least I have a fighting chance.

I just wish I knew about this site 2 years ago, when I first lost my job and ended up with debt problems.

 

Any other advie most welcome, particularly if anyone else has been successful with Legal & Receivables / Phoenix.

Hi Beanpole.

 

This link to your old posts works for me, they were merged together :-

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/149656-any-experience-legal-receivables.html

 

The hourly rate seems, as 42man says, to be £9.25p

There is a good link to costs here :-

If you still can't get to your old thread, let me know and I'll look in to it for you.

Thanks to both for confirmation regarding costs and the example schedule.

I have used...had confirmed the rate via a CAB guideline available to the National Debt Line also.

 

On Thursday, I went to Court and made my application to set aside the SD...waiting a little while and the Registar was able to confirm a date for the hearing - 17th July - just 2 weeks later....I actually hoped it would be a bit later to get past the 30 day deadline for the CCA request to hopefully work, but at least the 12 days will have passed by then.

L&R will by Monday know that they have to respond in court....in the meantime...they have acknowledged by letter my CCA request for all the documents and said 'we have requested from our client'...(Phoenix).

 

Can anyone please advise what, if anything, I should do in the meantime ?

For example should I now send an SAR to HSBC as the original creditor, or Phoenix with same, or is there anything with regards to the CPR that I can use now ?

It is a little grey, so would appreciate advice on the best steps to take, whilst I wait for the set aside hearing.

 

Still worried in case L&R do actually come up with the documents, but I still do have an argument with regards to unlawful charges (eg £150 to serve each SD added to the total debt claimed).

 

Mr Lex - thanks for trying to sort out link to original thread - sorry but it still won't work for me and says 'invalid link...contact administrator.

 

As ever, I am very grateful for anyone's advice of the process or dealing with Legal & Receivables/ LARGO / Phoenix.

OK, so today is the 12th day since Legal & Receivables signed for my Special Delivery CCA request for documentation. Nothing back except their letter saying they had requested from their client (aren't Phonix and LARGO the same company !). This was also preceded by me faxing a simpler request 2 days before, so I just hope they struggle with producing documents.

 

I sent SAR to HSBC yesterday, but they have 40 days to produce. Again, I am hoping they haven't kept documents, but given my Court hearing for Setting Aside is next Thursday (17th), I could do with advice on anything else I should or need to do.

 

It seems from what I've read, that I should prepare and submit to Court, my defence to the SD (but if I am the Applicant for set aside, is this correct ?)......clarity please on process rom anyone ?

 

Thanks

Beanpole

ps I wil post similar under the legal process section in case this thread gets missed.

OK, so postie has been and gone - still no documents delivered from my CCA request.....12 days are now definitely up, but I'm still worried about whether or not I need to file full defence to the Stat Demand, given I have hearing for my Set aside application in 8 days, which will still be within 30 day deadline.....Would the court most likely adjourn to allow L&R to produce, before granting complete strike out ?

 

Thanks for help so far.

(and apologies to those like 42man, reading similar thread under the legal process section, but I'm never quite sure how people are tracking the threads.)

Yes file a full defence, and ask to dismiss the stat demand or set aside....

 

Bear in mind that the non production of the CCA is a full defence....

 

you could potentially defend on the basis

 

of

 

Non production of the CCA

(does it have the prescribed terms ?)

No defaults

No notices of assignment

No Letter Before Action

An abuse of process in serving the stat demand.

Excessive charges + interest that could add up to being more than you owe them !!!

The debt is statute barred

The amount is below £750 (threshold for bankruptcy)

many thanks 42man.

 

I'll dig through various threads to use someone else's template for defence.

Are there any in particular you'd point me towards please?

 

My defence will have to be on the grounds of failure to produce documents, and abuse of process, as the amount is in excess of £750 and its less than 6 years ago since I hit financial difficulty, so won't be statute barred.

Until I get all statements from HSBC (the original creditor) that I have issued S.A.R - (Subject Access Request), I wont have a firm figure on all charges applied, but at least I will make this point ref unlawful charges.

 

Finally, if L&R have not appointed a solicitor (I'm hoping that they don't even turn up to the set aside hearing), do I just issue copy to them directly ?

 

ps how do i 'tip the scales' (Novice here !)

:?:
