    • Apologies dx100uk  I did not put the answers in red  Thank you all for your patience. H
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton  Name of the Claimant ? Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account 4546384809766042. The defendant faild to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. The dbt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments? I was made redundant and got a less paid job I also spent some time on furlough during covid and spent some 3 months on ssp off work. What was the date of your last payment?  May 2021 Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

I'm happy to join in with this one. Martin found my Capquest thread from just a phone number I was wondering who it was from.

 

Capquest have had 3 letters from me now complaining about phone calls. They have totally ignored all of them and they still phone several times a week.

 

I'll be complaining to their trading standards by letter which will be posted on monday.

 

It's a great idea to have a thread so we can all get together and share info and experiences and then hit them with a mass flurry of well written complaints. Hopefully then TS will take action and help prevent people who aren't lucky enough to discover CAG, from being taken in, scared, and ripped off by Capquest.

These are video links to show how I deal with Debt Collectors.

Hi Alias,There can be many interpretations of what you are asking.For example a debt could be unenforceable if it has no connections to or nothing to do with you.It could be unenforceable if the creditor or agents of them, cannot properly substantiate that you owe the debt/alleged debt by providing documentation which would support it.

CAG does not encourage nor support debt evasion,but serves to assist and guide those people who become the victims of unlawful practices or injustices at the hands of the debt collection industry.

You can read many threads within the debt forums to gain specific information-and starting a thread of your own is the best way to do this.

There you can post questions and also learn from others by reading their threads too,I hope that answers your question-obviously much depends on your own situation and that of the actions taken/or not taken by those chasing you for payment of the debt/alleged debt.

This thread may also be of interest to those having SD problems - it doesn't seem to be well known, but you should be able to contact the person named on the SD - if you can't, that may well be grounds for set-aside (may also be useful to point out to TS):

Thank you for posting this information. I am currently in the process of asking for my mums court case to be heard at our local county court. They want to to take us back to court to see if the charging order should remain in force. Captquest has said that my mum has not made any payments towards the court order taken out against her in Dec 07. This is not true, mum has not missed one payment.

 

That is why I want to contest this in court, I also want to contest that they do not legally own the debt. I have been advised that the court will only deal with the matter of the attachment Order/charging order and I want to contest that, but not sure how to. My mum can produce bank statements of payments made to them and the account it has gone into. Any advice would be most appreciated.

 

I was also told that if I want to contest the orginal court case, I would have to pay £75.00 to take it back to court.

CapQuest is now going to even greater heights to prove what a useless lot they are. I have just received from capquest a statutory demand under section 268(1)(a) of the insolvency act. Just who do they think they are. Bearing in mind they have never sent me any information requested such as, default notice, statements, contract. They did send the credit card application form, they obviously think this doubles up as a credit agreement. This account has been in disupte since March 2007 with myself sending letter after letter and receiving nothing which I requested back. I will have great pleasure in having this set aside. Any help would be appreciated. CapQuest is now obviously changing their tactics to confuse the public.

Hi folks!

 

I wrote in response to my letter from CapQuest and received a letter from them today saying that they have placed my account on hold for 28 days whilst they gather the information I requested. I am wary of them, but at least at their first attempt to use scare tactics on me, they have been halted, albeit temporarily!

 

Thanks for this thread :)

I have just received a letter this morning from Capquest informing me they have purchased a debt from Northern Rock and that they have made numerous attempts to assist me in finding an amicable solution to settle this matter.

 

This is the first letter i have received from them.

 

They then go on to say they are going to issue a statutory demand and have it served on me personally and then it appears they will file for bankruptcy. The letter is dated the 12th september, they say this will done on or around the 25th sept 08. They also offer me the option to settle this by paying a settlement as long as i accept by the 25th Sept.

 

As far as I am aware, I do not actually owe Northern rock any money. I did have issues over 7 years ago with bad debt, but I have not heard anything from them on this matter so i am assuming it would be Statute barred anyway.

 

I have read your letters and would be interested to know which ones you think i should send to Capquest as it seems to me there are points from both letters you have posted which are relevant?

 

thank you for your help in this matter.

NO it's been modified:

 

 

 

They are attempting to hide behind this part of CPUTR.

 

This is what the Act says:

 

 

 

What Cabot, and others, are saying here is that they can lawfully harass you to pay the debt as it's in a commercial interest.

 

13. In section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970(a) (punishment for unlawful

harassment of debtors), after subsection (3) insert—

“(3A) Subsection (1) above does not apply to anything done by a person to another in circumstances where what is done is a commercial practice within the meaning of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the other is a consumer in relation to that practice.”.

*Cough*

 

Sorry but IMHO they are right

Aren't they trying to muddy the waters with this? Surely the intention of the Administration of Justice Act is not to give them carte blanche to do anything they like with regard to recovery of debts?

 

“commercial practice” means any act, omission, course of conduct, representation or commercial communication (including advertising and marketing) by a trader, which is directly connected with the promotion, sale or supply of a product to or from consumers, whether occurring before, during or after a commercial transaction (if any) in relation to a product;
