    • And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court. 
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021.   npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279.   The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills.   I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this.   EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.    I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.   
    • Thank you guys! @lookinforinfo thank you for the case, it seem to similar with my case which is gold. @Nicky Boy shouldn't be ICO?   Personal data breaches: a guide ICO.ORG.UK   For CAG I found this  The Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG) is an independent body which provides expert advice on the use of confidential patient information. This includes providing advice to us, the Health Research Authority (HRA) for research uses. It also provides advice to the Secretary of State for Health for non-research uses.
    • HB - yes I agree it is about their paperwork and advice.  I need to be clear in my head what my complaint is.  And what a result looks like for me? (They should never have placed me with the shark with whom I've had all sorts of issues - but I don't think that's my complaint focus -v-  broker) 
    • HB - all sorts of issues have been in court; the main one re repo remains in court, no resolution.  They all stem really from bad advice by broker.  Indeed, but if the Ombudsman is prepared to accept the complaint, it would be about the advice given by the broker and their paperwork, wouldn't it? You seem to be asserting that the problems you've had stem from their bad advice. HB

    • 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 and Thankyou for your reply Saintly. The original judgement was for an unsecured loan that Lowell Portfolio are climing. They say I owe a sum of 3 thousand pounds and the loan was taken out in 1996 and defaulted in 1997. I made the mistake of contacting them on the phone whoops and in naivity believed them when they offered to extend the court date and change it to my local county court. I have never acknowleded the debt either verbally or in writing, i sent a letter requesting a copy of original loan agreement and other relevant docs. Needless to say they neither sent the requested docs and did not re-shedule court date so the court made judgement in favour of the claimant. I am in court on thursday and have stated this as my defence with the hope that judgement will be set aside to eneble a defence to be properly formed. All and any help advice is gratefully appreciated and thanks again for your reply.

Thanks Saintly. In the telephone conversation they said a payment had been made in 2001 which i know i ddid not pay. i have not acknowledged the debt and certainly not within the last 6 years which was to be part of my original defence if i would not have believed their lies regarding re-scheduling the court date. i am not sure whether i should just get the judgement set aside or whether to request that the court takes account that i believe the debt to be statute barred and to strike it off. I dont want to confuse matters and get on the wrong side of the court.

Hi there

 

Just to sum up, and correct me if i am wrong

 

Lowells took you to court ( nice people that they are) and got judgment by default?? ie you never filed a defence, you then have made an application to have the original judgment set aside and that is where we are now?

 

you are in court on thursday for the set aside?

 

is that the size of it?

 

who was the debt with originally?

 

What were lowells particulars of claim on the claim form?

 

just a point but it is for them to prove that you made a payment not for you to prove you didnt;)

Yes Saintly thats correct, the original debt was with Lloyds, as to the particulars on the claim form were as follows.

 

The Defendant entered into an agreement with the assignor, regulated by the consumer credit act 1974. The Defendant failed to comply with the terms and the agreement was terminated in accordance with the statutory notice of default. The benefits of the agreement were assigned to the claimant on 29/02/08 by Lloyds.

 

and the claimant claims:

1.£3038.61.

2.Statutory interest persuant to Section 69 of the county courts act (1984)at a rate of 8.0000% per annm from 29/02/08 to 16/04/08 £0.00, and thereafter at a daily rate of £0.00p to date of judgement or sooner payment.

 

agreement ***** 29/02/08

 

Ref: ********

 

Doesnt make sense to me but hopefully I can Come out of this without paying and also be able to help and advise others against these tricksters.

I hope anyone reading this thread are happy with the outcome or with the proceedings of their disputes :). I am posting this because i have attended a county court hearing today that was to request a judgement to be set aside. Has anyone experienced the judge not setting aside but adjourning and ordering the caimant to supply payment details that they claim have been paid but i dispute? Any input would be gratefuly recieved

Hi I hope am posting this in the relevant section. I attended county court yesterday to request judgement to be set aside. I did not attend the original hearing due to the fact that Lowell person told me on the phone that the court date was going to be changed and also the court location, I had phoned them (foolishly i realise now) to inform them that i wanted to see credit agreement, payment details and other information regarding the claim, I also wrote to them after the conversation requesting the same. Needless to say they had lied and no documents arrived.

 

I stated this as my defence and in court yesterday, The claimant thought he was there for a charging order and and not the set aside hearing and he had to have some details e-mailed to him regarding the details that i had requested. The judge said he was assuming that this was my debt and adjourned the hearing and ordered the claimant to send proof of payments that the claimant said i had made in 2002 to me and that they had to comply within 14 days.

 

The Claimants solictor had his laptop and pointed out to the judge that the proof of the payments were on it. The judge insisted that they had to send me the details and stopped the claimants arguing. The claimant seemed very upset with the judge and stormed off at the end.

 

 

Could someone please help me to understand what this means and also advise me regarding exactly what documents are sufficient proof and which would not be. And if there is anything else i need to do.

 

I am just hoping hat they dont have the details as i am sure i never made them and they have made my life a misery. Thankyou in advance I just wish I had found this wonderful site a few months earlier

Thanks 42man sorry for missing your reply but after yesterdays court appearance i was a little innebriated last night and didnt get online. The judge has said that the debt will be statute barred unless the claimant can proove to me that i paid within the six year period. He has ordered them to send the proof within 14 days. their legal rep seemed very perturbed to say the least an stormed out after the hearing. Even if I ened up having to pay the 3 grand i will always remember seeing that greasy little scrote squirming and throwing a tantrum like a child, I just thanked the judge. fingers crossed here that they aint got the proof cos am damn sure i never paid in year they claim.

Thanks 42man.

 

Well i hope that my intuition about them not having the details is correct. If i do come out without paying there are 2 certainties.

 

1. i will reclaim costs

 

2. I will donate 50% of them to this site.

Hi I wonder if anyone could advise or point me in the right direction. I had a judgement to set aside and in my defence i stated that i required proof of payment from the claimant. They claimed in court that I had made a payment within the 6 year period and I denied. I explained that To the best of my knowledge and in all honesty that I had made no payments at the time they claim. The judge ordered them to send me the proof within 14 days. Couple of questions I am asking are.

 

1. What type of proof are they required to give me and which would not prove sufficient?

 

2: If in the event that I dont recieve them within the period where do i stand?

 

I would expect them to leave it till last minute before they let me have them to give me less time to respond.

If the judge has given them 14 days to provide proof, then they will have to provide it. So it looks like they have until the 22nd ?? August to comply...either way the CCA argument is still relevant too. you can neither deny or admit to the debt and you wish to bring the claimant to proof to provide an agreement that is compliant, otherwise there is higher court law to say that without it then the debt cannot be enforced.

As a safeguard it might be wise to send off for a copy of your Consumer Credit Agreement

 

A CCA request is a formal request for them to send you a copy of your Consumer Credit Agreement, without it (and bear in mind it MUST contain the prescribed terms) then they cannot enforce the debt legally. You need to send this with a £1 postal order.

 

If you want convincing read this...

 

Consumer Credit Agreements - A letter from the Parliamentary Under Secretary Of State

 

You can find the CCA request here, letter 'N' - Creditors and DCAs - Letter Templates & Budget Planner -they have to provide this within 12+2 working days or they fall into default of your request - which also means they can't enforce the debt.

 

You need to send the CCA request to Lowells

Send it by recorded/guaranteed delivery, do NOT hand sign it, DO IT TODAY !!

Thanks 42man. I wrote a letter to Lowell requesting a copy of CCA but when went to court for set aside the judge asked was it my debt or did i have a debt from around that time? I said that I was aware that I had outstanding debt but was unsure of time taken out or ammount, The judge said we assume that this is your debt but order claimant to provide details of last payment if they couldnt then the debt is statute barred. If I request CCA from Lowell will it not interfere with courts request?
