    • its SJPN you simply fill the form in pleading not guilty. you will then be sent a latter court date by letter to appear at your local magistrates court or the DVLA will might even drop the whole case. if you want ,fill in the small section of the form too, simply stating that payment for said road tax was cancelled and latterly reclaimed as a new DD was already in place. hence i double paid for said disputed period of the claim. just to be 1000% sure. please scan to PDF the page that states what you have been summoned for.  read upload carefully 
    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in specific terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have explained it on CAG?

    • 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 all,

 

We have decided that it is now time to write to our creditors and push them a bit before stopping payments to CCC's and going it alone. We have sent letters to each creditor, altering each letter to suit to see the reactions we get back and post them up so that we can hopefully get some feedback on their responses.

 

We sent this to Red Castle on tuesday:

 

 

 

 

Red Castle Recoveries

3rd Floor,

20 St. James’s Street,

London.

SW1A 1ES.

 

Dear Sir/madam,

I refer you to your letter of 22/01/2008.

My Position regarding this alleged debt remains unchanged. To date, you have failed to supply the requested documentation. These documents should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect an account. You have not provided the documentation that entitles you enforce this aleged debt and you are still in default of my Consumer Credit Agreement request.

You are not entitled to under Section 77(1) and Section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 to take any action on this account until you have produced the proof of your entitlement to do so, and as you have not, any attempt to obtain monies for this alleged debt is also a breach of the Act, and constitutes Harassment.

Your company Committed a criminal offence by not adhering to the 30 day deadline as per the Act and as such, I do not recognised any liability in this matter. Agreeing to a review of this alleged debt would suggest that I agree to be liable for the same and without evidence to the contrary, I do not.

I now require the following :

 

1. With immediate effect, you contact the CCC’s and inform them that you no longer wish to collect payments on this account.

2. All payments made to date to this account should be refunded in full, including interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

3. Removal of all defaults entered by you to any credit reference agencies. Note: this is to be a complete deletion and not merely an amendment.

4. I look forward to compensation under Section 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to be offered for the processing of my data in the manner it has been done.

5. After a full refund of all payments with interest and compensation are received by myself, you will be required under Section 10 and Section 12 of the Data Protection Act 1998, to cease and desist all manual and automatic processing of my data within your company and any other company within your group.

6. Your confirmation that all of the above action has been taken.

 

In reference to the above, I acknowledge you may require time for departmental transfer of this correspondence and to this end, I will now allow you a further 14 days in which to satisfy these requirements. If no response is received within this period, I shall take action without further reference to cease payments via the CCC’s and it shall be assumed that you have no further interest in this matter. Furthermore, should you not respond, a full transcript of all correspondence and payments will be sent to your regulatory authorities, as the basis of a formal complaint.I may also consider a claim at my local county court in order to facilitate my requirements.

With the exception of point 1& 3 above, upon receipt of your confirmation that these actions have been taken, this matter maybe closed.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

They telephoned tonight and basically asked

 

"Are we going to keep Payng?"

"If you don't keep paying you will be liable for additional costs and charges"

"We don't need to have a credit agreement cos the T&C's are in the catalogue" (they put "the account on hold because they could'nt provide one in the time frame")

And "Credit agreements are not worth the paper they are writen on" (I wonder why they have them in the catalogue then!).

 

Then it was "Are your going to keep paying" again and "We are just contacting you for your protection so you don't get further charges"

 

"We have consulted our legal team and we will not be aceeding to any of your requests"

 

We just said put it in writing!

 

It'll be interesting to see if they do, but meanwhile, all input gratefuly recieved.

 

Scampjet.

 

PS. I can't remember whose letter 've pinched bits out of..but than you.

If they ring again, just say, "I will on discuss this in writing only." then hang up. Then wait and see if they produce something in writing.

 

It's likely they'll just keep sending computer generated threat-o-grams. If they do, send a letter headed "Formal Complaint" Outlining why you're not happy, and what you expect them to do about it.

 

I've found this works for me, as it then takes them a week to reply, saying they are investigating your complaint. Then a month later they'll reply with a load of feeble excuses, and failing to address bout half of the things you're not happy with. Then write back saying your're not happy, and why and give them one final chance to address the problems. Then theu should give a final answer. Then you can take your complaint to the OFT.

 

Make sure you keep records of all correspondence, times, dates, etc.

Don't dicuss anything on the phone, as you need everything in writing as evidence for the OFT to investigate them.

Thanks fizzbobble,

 

this is what I am hoping for. I'm trying to get a definitive answer form creditors who have addmitted they have no agreements, in order gain enough ammo so that a complaint to OFT T.Standards caries more water. We need to establish exactly who we have to pay when we dump the CCCs and we will not have sufficient income to continue the plan at the next review so it they dump us, we will only have to make arrangemnts with those who do have agreements.

 

At least, thats the plan!

You are doing the right thing.

 

As soon as the 12 =2 and 30 days are up you can stop paying them

 

2. All payments made to date to this account should be refunded in full, including interest at the rate of 8% per annum

 

I do hope you know this won't happen and you cannot claim these back.

 

let us know how you get on

Dear Sir,

 

please pass this to your legal team.

 

Any more frivolous threats by your organisation will be met by a claim in XXXXX County Court against your company, the grounds for such an action will be set out in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules and CPR Pre Action Protocols

 

In addition, since you persistently fail to provide a copy of the contract which you allege gives a right of action, i may need to make a pre action disclosure application before the court to ensure that i have all the documents which are relevent to my potential claim

 

of course at the point where you fail to comply with the order of the court im sure you will be aware that my claim would succeed without question

 

therefore, please supply me a copy of the contract which you allege that i entered into with your organisation or the organisation which you claim to represent, doing so will avoid the necessity of making an application to the court for disclosure. please note that should it become necessary to make such an application i will produce before the court a copy of this letter when the issue of costs falls due.

 

 

if you do not wish to comply with my request , please withdraw your frivolous threats and confirm that this matter is now closed and no further correspondence will be forthcoming from your organisation

 

Regards

 

 

i would sling that at them, no need to talk about this and that, just tell them that you will bring a claim if they dont crawl back under their rock

Hi adainfife. Thanks for posting

 

"I do hope you know this won't happen and you cannot claim these back".

 

Yes i do realise that it won't happen:(

The idea is see what they come back with in response. Hopefully I can get them to back off completely. But that probably won't happen either!

Hi Pt,

Thank you again!

I will certainly keep that in safe place till needed (and it will be!:D).

 

What is the procedure for making a pre action disclosure order?

I am aiming to try and get an answer from those without agreements by 25th of next month.(could'nt even think about it until CL finace was sorted).

I cannot not pay these people while with the cccs and really don't need the additional hassle of trying to fight them off while making an arrangement with other creditors who have agreements. If I can get rid of them, I can pay a slight increase to creditors with agreements and still ease my situation slightly.

 

Thanks again for the letter.

 

Scampjet,

doubt very much it will be needed but, you can under the Civil Procedure Rules make an application to the court to be disclosed documents which are vital to your case

 

dont worry about how to do it, we can talk you through it, should it even be needed, remember half these mcmuffins puff their chests out so as to make you think you are in the wrong but when you challenge them they tend to run away

Thank you Paul,

 

It really is comforting to know all this help is available!

 

I know they are just "puffing their chests" But knowing how to deal with it correctly is another thing!

  • 2 weeks later...

It's just DCA scare tactics in the vain attempt to scare you into paying up by quoting a load of legal jargon.

Just write back reminding them that they haven't provided an agreement, and you will refuse to respond to their letters and calls until they do. PT2537's letter above is a good one to send to them.

 

Before too long they'll realise they're onto a loser, and either pass it back to the Original Creditor or sell it down the chain to another DCA.

After 2 or 3 times they all seem to give up.

They have told you that the credit agreement isn't available. As a consequence they cannot enforce payment of the debt.

But they are correct in saying the debt still exists.

 

They also say they will continue to try and recover the debt although, without being able to take this court, any attempts to do so will be no more than moral persuasion.

 

It has been stated on here more than once that DCAs would gain more by being nice, considerate and co-operating with people rather than abusing, vilifying and harassing people. God help us all if they ever change.

 

Remember that old African proverb : Softly, softly catchee monkey... :)

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)
