    • It’s all with current lenders and no missed payment to date. so with any reduced payment to them it’s likely to be going to debt collectors at some stage. we jointly own a property together me and my partner 
    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also. 
    • Depends on whether part of the roof needs to be replaced and whether it is a standard roof type,  but the works should only take a day or two. Someone I know had a whole semi-detached roof replaced in about 12 hours. Suggest you put it in writing to the business about the issues you mention in your post.  Also as business premises, you could also apply pressure by contacting local Council if necessary. 
    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.

    • 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.

1 ] still CCA them we got nothing in the 12 + 2 days and then we got a copy of the agreement , no statements,

 

All court docuemnts were sent to link, i bet they didint pass it on to the court thought i was strange that it was sent to court to be honest , anyway, we also got a cjj from the court with a fee to pay triple what we was paying. I have objected to that and sent in a big lits of why,

 

we are in a DMP, we was paying from the start up unitl the ccj was issued

spoke about the company harassing me at home, refusing any dealing with payplan and threating me with a charging order, along with copies of income and expenditure, we have a hearing date next week...

 

also looking at it we didint get a letter of default or termination from Link, ?? does that have any effect?

 

GET THIS THE DEFAULT CAME TODAY..... AFTER THE CCJ WAS ISSUED...?

 

Then we get another letter from link saying they have bought debt number 2 - same response this time i cca then got anothing the 12+ 2 days sent them a letter ssaying they are ind efault and they send me a statment and nothing else, then they issue, court documents, ive defenced the case and sent the doucments staright toc ourt not link this time,

 

again we didnt get a default or notice of termination hence we didint even know they had bugh the debt until it was in writing from link we continued to pay link and have right the way through, what would our defence be the fact that we are still paying and have always paid? that we ahvent have a default notice? they havent provided us with all infromation from the CCA request?

You say that you are going to court. What is the basis of your defence? Please could you post it up here (deleting any personally identifiable information)?

One debt one default is usually the case, I've recently had a default removed that was duplicated by both the Original Creditor and the DCA they are supposed to have sold it on to.

 

Write to the CRA explaing that the debt is defaulted twice, they should then write to both parties explaining the situation at which point one will have no objection to a default being removed...If the debt was sold on it's highly likely that the original creditor will remove their entry.

I reside in Dawlish Warren but am not a rabbit.

Somad, do you have a thread on this so that we can help a bit more, if Link have issued documents following commencement of proceedings, they are irrelevant and can't be used.

 

Magda

 

Just to add, it sounds as though they obtained judgement by default (if Link asked you to return court papers directly to them) in which case you should be applying to have the judgement set aside, but you have a hearing on Monday?

What on earth is wrong with Link, I think they seriously need help... I received two letters this morning from them and guess what, they are taking us to court for two more accounts because they say we haven't agreed to them getting a charge on our property. One of the accounts is for little more that £300, so how ridiculous is that. Unfortunately, we had 8 accounts sold to Link by the OC around six years ago, so they are now trying with these two, where they failed on the last four claims they brought. Don't they ever learn?

 

The letters they have sent are exactly the same as the letters they sent us before taking us to court last time for the other claims, so I think they intend to go ahead, which means I'll be defending four claims again all in one go, what with Cabot and Nwest. Ah well, all good practice.

I agree AC, I doubt they would get a charge on a debt that size anyway. And they haven't even asked for one (although of course the answer would be NO). I will be asking for a full set of statements if they do go ahead, and pretty sure there will be some pretty hefty amounts owing in unlawful charges as GE were very good at slapping those on, so the debt for three hundred will probably be non-existent straight away.. the other one is only for just over a thousand, so again, not a very big one.

 

As you say, they seem very, very desperate and interesting to see their accounts are overdue as well.... All I need now is for GE to issue a claim and that will really be the icing on the cake. I'll be on first name terms with my local court soon:D (and a more miserable bunch you couldn't hope to encounter)

companies must send an annual return to Companies House

 

Every company must deliver an annual return to Companies House at least once every 12 months. The company's director(s) and the secretary (where applicable), are responsible for ensuring that they deliver the annual return to Companies House within 28 days after the anniversary of incorporation of a company or of the anniversary of the made-up date of the last annual return.

 

If you do not deliver the company’s annual return, the Registrar might assume that the company is no longer carrying on business or in operation and take steps to strike it from the register.

 

Remember: It is a criminal offence not to deliver the company's annual return within 28 days of the made-up date, for which Companies House may prosecute the company and its officers.

Yes, they will try to recoup their losses from us, but given past experience, they aren't very good at it- nasty and underhanded, yes, smart, most definitely not.

 

It must be a hard life being Paul Burdell, perhaps we should have a whip around for him.
