    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

Thanks for the response babybear, I was beginning to feel unloved!!

 

I will, I just wish I had (as I imagine most posters do) done this years ago. I can't tell you how much I have endured from Cabot over the years and will try to push them as much as they have tried to push me!

 

Thanks again

Nothing to get excited about, just a standard letter explaing the original creditor is having trouble locating the information and they will put my account on hold (wow......thanks).

 

When am I going to have a real person contact me rather than having to exchange dialouge with what appears to be a template machine??!!

 

I have received two out five I have sent so far!!

Yes, but the thing is ... they employ umpalumpas in their dungeons at DCA Horrortowers ... and the poor things stamp all day and stamp all night ... never see the light of day ... they fool us all into thinking they have at least a PC ... when the terrible truth is ... they have enslaved this little known species ... paying them nothing but bread and water.

 

I am, of course, kidding! But ... with some irony on the whole DCA industry in general. As it's all a mockery, a circus and ... well, if you told a friend or someone in a million years what it was like ... they'd think it wasn't true or ... never having experienced it ... find it far fetched.

 

And one day ... a really big, nasty dragon will slay these tomfoolers ... once and for all. Then, in a far off land, in another time, another place ... we will all be treated fairly. I hear someone, even now is penning this next Lord of the Rings epic ... and will be a masterpiece of modern times, a legacy of how things used to be, in times and lands once gone by.

 

The above is to be taken with a pinch of salt! But ... well, really ... DCA's do not appreciate how 'funny' they are ... and what entertainment one can both glean but mine from. ;)

Ha ha..... I have taken with a pinch of salt. But has a certain ring of truth.....

 

So phone diallers leaving pre-recorded messages on your answer machines and machines sending you pre-written letters....... makes you wonder how many 'real' people do actually work there!!

Yep set about working out the charges and add contractual interest - there is a template on CAG somewhere you just enter each penalty, the date applied and the spreadsheet will automatically calculate how much it all comes to. Once you have this you can see if the penalties exceed the debt. however the tricky bit is how to ask for them back without admitting to the debt. There is also two schools of thought here that is either you a) apply to OC for refund or b)the DCA and I don't know which is correct.

Cabot did that to me, sent a load of statements, an alleged deed of assignment (obviously typed by themselves) and a letter of introduction and said they had complied, when I rang them they admitted, twice, that Goldfish have said they cannot provide a copy agreement, they have now registered information at the CRA's which I have responded to by sending them a letter telling them to remove it or I will take further action.

 

I've told them, not a penny they will get, until they provide the correct documentation.

 

They are another bunch of cretins who think they can do what they like!

 

Good luck :)

One week after sending statements (overdue charge on every one) and what they are calling a signed credit agreement (no bigger than a postcard!) they have sent me a letter saying they are applying for judgement/AOE etc......

 

What should I send back? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Can you upload what you've been sent to photobucket?

 

I am assuming it just a threatagram from Crapbot, and not a court claim from Northampton Bulk Centre?

 

Can you post up what they call an "agreement"?

 

The most appropriate response is almost certainly the "Account In Dispute" letter.

Hi thisholly

Re: Cabot Ref No. xxxxxx

 

Thank you for your letter of 11 April 2008. I shall reply to the points you have raised in order, if I may.

I thank you for the copy of the application form that I signed and returned to Littlewoods. Unfortunately, it does is not appear to be a properly executed agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, as was my request that you supply. I am sure that I do not need to explain to you why it is not so, as your legal background will no doubt allow you to determine for yourself that the document supplied falls far short of that which would be relied upon in a court of law to enforce any purported debt. I am surprised that you have offered it as such.

 

You note that I am concerned that Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited has no legal right to share my data. This remains my belief, and nothing that you have said causes me to change my mind regarding this. I have AT NO TIME authorised Barclaycard or any company within the Cabot Financial Group of Companies to share or otherwise process my personal data. You mention that in particular paragraph 6 of Schedule 2, permits disclosure of such information to and by credit reference agencies without the customers’ consent. I am afraid that I make a totally different interpretation of that paragraph, which states

 

“6. - (1) The processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by the third party or parties to whom the data are disclosed, except where the processing is unwarranted in any particular case by reason of prejudice to the rights and freedoms or legitimate interests of the data subject.

 

(2) The Secretary of State may by order specify particular circumstances in which this condition is, or is not, to be taken to be satisfied. “

I invite you to explain to me why you feel you have a legitimate right to process, contrary to my rights and freedoms and legitimate interests. Failing that, please show me where the Secretary of State has specified any particular circumstances which allow you to process my data.

 

Accordingly, I am again unable to acknowledge that any debt exists. I would suggest that all that you have said and produced to date in support of your claim that I owe anything to Cabot Financial (UK) Limited would fail if used to support any attempt at enforcement through the courts.

 

Yours Faithfully

I'm far from an expert, but learning all the time!!!!!
