    • Yes, in the main your understanding of my case is right. Linked below to the post with the final WS sent to the court and to Evri.   
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. As you say, appealing this ticket doesn't help as these people hardly ever accept appeals. They don't care how difficult someone's life is, they just want the money. The forum guys should be along later with thoughts for you on how to deal with this. Best, HB
    • I have received an email in the last 10 minutes 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024  It also includes a "Notice of Hearing" stating that the application hearing will take place on 13th June at 10.00am.  Confused as to whether I need to attend this ?
    • I've received this notice to keeper. I work for the NHS and was delayed due to patient care. I park here regular and and have never had any issues. I've looked at the evidence on the portal and other than showing that i entered at 12.59.33 and departed at 17:14:14 it doesn't state how long i overstayed for. I paid for 4 hours parking over the phone which i wont have done till i got parked but as its over the phone i have no receipt or record but it is not possible for me to have been in excess of 15mins from the photos alone but I'm unsure having read other threads whether grace periods are 10 or 15 minutes. I havent appealed yet but and was about to but in appealing i'm showing i'm the driver which i gather is something you state we must never do. I don't like confrontation but £60 seems extortionate. Hope you can help. 🤞 1 Date of the infringement 30th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 30th May 2024 [scan up BOTH SIDES as ONE PDF- follow the upload guide] please LEAVE IN LOCATION AND ALL DATES/TIMES/£'s 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?

    • It never seems to amaze me how the chuckleheads think that No Stopping can ever offer a contract when it is prohibitory. In any case you did not accept the contract by entering the land, you entered the land to get to the airport for goodness sake. In most car parks there is a Consideration period that allows motorists to decide whether they want to stay in the car park . Here on a road, there is no consideration period and whether the motorist finds the terms agreeable or not even assuming that they are able to understand that they are being hoodwinked into believing they are being offered a  contract they cannot turn back. They have a plane to catch and even if they did turn back because they didn't accept the  No Stopping term of   the so called contract they would still have had to stop to turn around. Plus there is a question of Frustration of Contract. You had to stop at a pedestrian crossing .

    • 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 have received a statutory demand from 1st Credit dated 27th September, posted 29th September (2nd Class) received 1st October. This is a debt owing to Goldfish, it was originally sold to Moorcroft Debt Collections who agreed to accept £50 per month via standing order. The debt was for just over £12,000. I paid Moorcroft on time each month and then in January this year I received a letter from 1st Credit saying the debt had been assigned by Goldfish to them, no communication from either Goldfish of Moorcroft, and the payments continued to Moorcroft. The debt had increased by over £1000 and there was no mention of any payments made against the account. In a nutshell I have since written 1st Credit some 8 times asking for a breakdown of the additional charges and were the payments since September last year have gone. They have never responded - the majority of my letters were sent recorded delivery - They did send me a standing order mandate for £150 per month - an amount I cannot afford - I set this up changing the amount to the original agreed amount of £50, I also wrote and asked them if they would agree to this with a provision of increasing the payments in line with my salary increments, they again did not respond, until sending the SD. I am now at my wits end with these people. I have no equity in my home and nothing of any value that could be sold. I sent them a postal order and CCA request via recorded delivery after I received the SD, I have not acknowledged receipt of the SD. I have all the correspondence sent and the correspondence received both from Moorcroft and 1st Credit

 

My questions now are:

 

Did I send the CCA too late - i.e. after the SD had been sent.

Have I admitted the debt by paying these people £50 per month, therefore blowing any chance of having the debt set aside

What options are open to me now

 

Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the CAG, firstly do ot panic about this SD, 1st crapit are using this as a scare tactic.

 

you need to get this set aside by registering at the local court, someone will be along shortly with the correct steps.

 

also you can CCA anytime you wish, if you were happily paying moorcrap and then agreed to the same amount to 1st crapit a judge will look very dimly on their blatent attempts to try to force you into a payment plan you cannot afford.

 

good luck

OK....firstly try and relax as best as you can, as you may (or may not) have seen already there are quite a few other posts on these forums where there have been others in exactly the same situation as yourself....what is staggering is that despite you paying them they have done this !!! they are being unreasonable !!!

 

You have 18 days from the date of the receipt of the demand to submit forms 6.4 and 6.5 into the courts you will find them here -

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/86067-getting-statutory-demand-set.html

 

you need to dispute the debt substantially, ring up your local county courts and find out if they handle bankruptices / insolvencies, if they don't they should be able to tell you the nearest court that does.

 

When you take your forms down to the court, you must ask them to 'swear' in the affadavit, which is usually free, (solicitors will usually charge £5 to do this) and I believe the central London courts charge £12 !!)

 

Please have a read of these too....

The courts in the majority are against the Insolvency service being used as a tool for debt collection....!! (as you will read in the threads above)....

Many thanks for the advice

 

When I go to the court with these forms do I need to take all the letters etc I have received from both Moorcroft and 1st Credit. I have copies of all sent and anything I have received including the letter from Moorcroft accepting the offer of £50 per month. I've also noticed in the links you attached that some people have asked for costs from the DCA is this normal practice I would not have thought that the court would look favourably on paying costs to someone who owes such a lot of money.

 

There are not court details on the SD sent by 1st Credit just a phone number. I am loathed to ring and ask for this information as this would prove I had received the SD

Hi

 

I was not going to ignore the SD. After reading other postings I thought I would just apply to have it set aside without contacting 1st Credit. I'm not sure if they sent it correctly and if the information on it is correct. I know the amount they are demanding is incorrect, and they do not quote any court details just a phone number (I'm not sure if this is wrong or not). In the "Particulars of Debt" section they give no details of intermediary assignees - not sure if they should have mentioned Moorcroft there,and not details of any charges which have been added, there obviously are some as the debt increased. All it says in this section is "The debt relates to sums due under account number xxxxxx with Goldfish Bank Ltd. The debt was assiged to the Creditor on 13/03/2008. The amount due at the date of this demand is xxxxxx"

 

Do you think I should contact 1st Credit again and tell them I intend to apply to have this set aside, and the reasons why? That way I suppose they would know I was not just ignoring them

When 1st did it to me....(and made me bankrupt)....all I had EVER received from them was a letter saying 'YOU OWE US THIS' !!!! no statements, no notices of assignment, no agreements, (let alone any having the prescribed terms), no default notices....and when I sent a Subject Access Request to the orignal creditors, they couldn't find ANYTHING on their files about me whatsoever !!!

What happens is you submit your forms to the courts, 'swear' them in and it goes to a judge and he/she decides if there should be a hearing, the judge will also request the 'other' side to turn up too, if you get a friendly judge then he/she probably wants to make an example of the Debt Collection agency who are abusing the court system (as you can see from some of the threads above).....1st Credit rarely turn up to court......

You are quite entitled to dispute a debt at any stage.....(especially now as you probably know a little more already about your rights)....to be honest I would want to stand in front of a judge and show my disgust at the way they are abusing the Insolvency Service as a means of debt collecting disputed debts....

To answer my own above question,I have just read through all your threads 42Man, I must say i am shocked at what happened to you, but so glad you managed to fight it and win. Just out of interest, have you ever heard of this happening to anyone else, as I was blown away by it all!!!!!

When I arrived home from work yesterday there was a letter from 1st Credit regarding my CCA request the letter informs me that the document requested is retained by their clients and they will advise them of my request and arrange for the document to be sent as soon as possible. The letter is from their administration department - I sent the request to the Litigation Department. Does this now mean they can take as long as they want to send the agreement?

 

Incidently this letter bears exactly the same signature as the Statutory Demand!

Well put it this way, 12+2 working days after your request, if they haven't supplied it then the debt is unenforceable.....

When I arrived home yesterday there was a letter from 1st Credit. In it was a bundle of statements with balances and the £50 credits I have been paying to both Moorcroft & 1st Credit and at the back there was a "Goldfish Your Credit Card Terms & Conditions" hand written on it was my surname the 1st credit reference number and a further number 5578438700122305. My goldfish account number started with a 5578, but it is nothing like the number they have quoted. My signature does not appear anywhere on what they have sent. Is this 1st Credit trying to pull a fast one by using this to fulfill their obligation after I sent them a CCA request or does this mean they have in fact supplied me with what I requested. Once again the figures do not stack up, there are payments I know were sent that are not included on these statements I have bank statements showing these payments. Any help you can give is gratefully appreciated

Are you able to scan / photo the documents they have sent you and post them up on here ? (but edit your personal details / reference numbers)....was your writing on it anywhere at all ? use Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket if need be (and it's free)...

 

There is a photobucket guide in this thread here... - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/161226-credit-cards-dcas-2.html

I don't have access to a scanner, but no were on any of the documents they have supplied is there any of my handwriting. You can actually go online to the Goldfish website and get the exact same wording. I thought they had to supply a credit agreement signed by me, obviusly I could be mistaken.

I am going to the court tomorrow, a bit last minute I know. I was using the fact that they had not supplied me with a copy of the credit agreement as the main reason for asking for the SD to be set aside. Will the fact that they have sent these statements etc challenge this. I'm really concerned about this. I have negative equity in my home and no savings, so I'm not sure what they would achieve by making me bankrupt. I also have other creditors who have accepted my offers of reduced payments. 1st Credit rang my home on Monday and asked me to ring them to discuss my account. I haven't done this as yet, do you think I should call them?
