    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.

    • 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.

My son in law wants to repay his loan early to take advantage of another company's better offer so he can buy a new car. RBS are trying to charge him early redemption fees etc, which he feels are excessive.

I suggested to him a few months ago to CCA them and this is what he got back from them.

they still have to provide a copy of the agreement

 

 

you can send them this:

 

Edit to suit:

 

Dear Sirs,

Account Number: XXX

Re; your recent reply to my request under section 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

I note that you have replied to the above by sending a copy of an application form and your companies current Terms and conditions I must inform you that this is not sufficient to comply with the request and that your company is still in default under the act.

To clarify, just sending the Terms and Conditions is a breach of the Act and Regulations as, apart from the information that the Regulations provide that you may exclude, the copy must be a “true copy” of the agreement.

This breach of the agreement can be demonstrated as follows;

As you will know section 180(1) (b) authorises, “the omission from a copy of certain material from the original, or the inclusion of certain material in condensed form.” This refers to statutory instruments made under the heading Copies of document regulations and in this care in particular to SI 1983/1557.

Before leaving section 180 there are two other sections that should be remembered these are:

Section 2(2) (a) A duty imposed by any provision of this Act (except section 35) to supply a copy of any document is not satisfied unless the copy supplied is in the prescribed form and conforms to the prescribed requirements;

And more importantly

Section 2(b) A duty imposed by any provision of this Act (except section 35) to supply a copy of any document is not infringed by the omission of any material, or its inclusion in condensed form, if that is authorised by regulations.

You will see that this quite clearly states that whilst certain items may be left out of the copy document the rest of the document must be in the form and contain all items as prescribed by the regulations.

Turning to the regulations regarding what may be omitted from these copies these are contained with SI 1983/1557.

The regulations state:

(2) There may be omitted from any such copy-

(a) any information included in an executed agreement, security instrument or other document relating to the debtor, hirer or surety or included for the use of the creditor or owner only which is not required to be included therein by the Act or any Regulations thereunder as to the form and content of the document of which it is a copy;

(b) any signature box, signature or date of signature (other than, in the case of a copy of a cancelable executed agreement delivered to the debtor under section 63(1) of the Act, the date of signature by the debtor of an agreement to which section 68(b) of the Act applies);

It is quite clear what can be omitted from the copy document, this again asserts that all other details of the agreement should presented in form and content as required by the regulations.

The requirements of the Agreement regulations 1983/1553 are very explicit in describing the form and content of an agreement and this as I have demonstrated also applies to the copy of any such agreement with the above mentioned proviso.

Nowhere within these regulations does it state that part of the agreement can be presented on a separate document headed terms and conditions.

It does state that all terms and conditions should be within the agreement document and is explicit of the form in which it is presented.

I hope this explains why your reply was unacceptable I await a True copy of my agreement and would remind you again that whilst the request has not been complied with the default continues

 

If there is no such agrement then please confirm this is writing within the next 7 days

Yours faithfully

 

 

You want them to state that there is no agreement at all.

Hi Ida,

They've admitted they cant find it in the letter.

I want to know if he could "barter" with them to get a lower early settlement figure than they are quoting due to a lack of agreement?.

Thanks:)

Of course he can.

 

Creditors and DCAs - Consumer Wiki

 

this will give you a basis but remember to add that they do not have any valid agreement

 

and start off low, don't offer what you can afford, start lower.

 

 

alos include this will include any details they have on the credit file as paid

They should bite your hand off for any offer now, they should be lucky to get one at all.

 

But For a quiet life and no court action, I would be going for the balance less all interest paid, set up fees, admin fees and any late payment charges.

 

Basically Give them back what was borrowed and no more, although you could barter for less as they are breaching the Data Protection Act by processing your sons data.

 

So With out an agreement that states you agreed to repay the interest, the fees, the charges and the term of lending, thats about all they should be entitled to and also add in that your son wants any entry of the non existent agreement to be removed from his credit file.

 

If not tell them as no agreement states the repayment period, or amount of interest.

You will now repay it at £1 a month for the rest of your life ( but don't encase they find the agreement down the back of a filing cabinet) :-D

Dear Mr XXXX

 

I am writing in reference to your letter dated 22nd July 2008, which concerns the correspondence with XXXX XXXXX on the 9th May 2008.

Unfortunately we are unable to get a copy of the original documents as the original loan documents have been archived and presently not available.

The information we have provided to you about your loan constitutes a true copy of the loan agreement as required under section 77 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Copy Documents) Order 1983 SI 1557.

I have attached another true copy for your records, if you have any other queries regarding this please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Should he cancel the DD and then make F and F offer?

 

(B) Right to Settle Early

 

The Customer has the right to repay the Loan before the end of the Term by making a

 

single payment calculated under a formula which limits the amount of the Total Charge

 

the Customer pays. The amount that the Customer would have to pay if, for example,

 

the Customer wanted to settle when a quarter of the Term had passed would be

 

£1,060.09; if half of the Term had passed the amount would be £796.01; and if three

 

quarters of the Term had passed the amount would be £459.08. In calculating the

 

amounts shown the assumption is made that all Instalment Repayments due are paid

 

on time and no default interest or charges are incurred. The amounts shown are

 

accordingly only illustrative and do not take account

of future changes to the agreement.

 

WHAT A RIP OFF!!

He borrowed £1200 over 60 months and has paid 22 payments totalling £690.80.

I think he should offer them £500 as F &F ?

 

Any suggestions anyone please.
