      soccersixes chasing owed money

      By robertobaggio · Posted

      Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks

      Prosecution witness in criminal court case.

      By sprouting · Posted

      Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks

      Quidie Ltd T/A Fernovo Payday Loan Irresponsible Lending Offer

      By Baz1994 · Posted

      A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Update on this,

 

I received a "Notice of Case Management Conference" letter a while back from the local Court, for a telephone conference.

 

I have been busy lately, but thought I had better act as this is now only a couple of weeks away.

 

Could someone please explain what happens at this hearing and what I am supposed to do?

 

I am a bit wary about the Brighton thing and the passage at the bottom of the letter "this case may be released to another Judge, possibly at another court."

 

thanks,

Thanks for all your input.

 

I don't know what securitisation is DD. Could you explain it for me?

 

Coincidentally, I received the Case Summary and proposed deirections from Brachers today.

 

I shall post them up with the DN as soon as I remove the details.

 

Thanks again

Thanks for that DD.

By the way, what is securitisation?

 

Meanwhile, I today received the Case Summary put forward by Brachers, regarding the impending Case Management Conference.

 

Should I put this up here, or just type what is in it?

 

I have also been provided with a copy of the DN...and it's faulty as they have given me 14 days from the date of letter!

I have been provided with a legible copy of the Application Form and there is absolutely no reference to any documents overleaf either.

 

Anyway, I shall post these up with the Brachers documents if advised by you trusty folk.

So sorry, Yeats. I was working until very late last night and didn't get back on the site until now.

 

I don't fully understand securitisation, but basically it appears that a lot of companies securitise their accounts - they sell them on as a job lot to a third party, so the argument is that they no longer own the debt and shouldn't be trying to collect it. The whole thing is covered in Well Amex declines to answer Securitisation Question

 

I asked them about securitisation in my last letter and they basically said it is none of my business. Haven't got round to writing back to them yet, but will probably follow angry cat's advice (as you'll see on that thread) to ask them for a notarised statement saying the account hasn't been securitised, which is why I am wondering if this could help you now. They won't answer, so the account is probably securised. Amex apparently is known for securitising their accounts.

 

Anyway, have a look at the thread. Hope it helps.

DD has explained below with a pointer to the main thread on it, basically its selling the future revenues(card payments) and receiving a lump sum up front, your card payments are basically repaying the loan that Amex got from a securitisation trust vehicle(these are normally based in low or no tax countries, jersey/bahamas)

 

Meanwhile, I today received the Case Summary put forward by Brachers, regarding the impending Case Management Conference.

 

Should I put this up here, or just type what is in it?

 

If there are directions you are unsure of then yes, make sure you remove anything personal this includes barcodes/reference numbers etc. Yesterday in a court case a CAGGER had there default notice produced from the online copy posted up:eek:

 

I have also been provided with a copy of the DN...and it's faulty as they have given me 14 days from the date of letter!

Standard Amex rubbish then. Post it up as per above if you like.

 

I have been provided with a legible copy of the Application Form and there is absolutely no reference to any documents overleaf either.

 

As above.

Hi Yeats,

 

Ok,

 

I've not seen your defence but the application they have provided doesnt have the prescribed terms in as I'm sure you are aware.

 

Also in their Claim they are asking for s69 interest, they arent allowed to do this on a CCA regulated claim. I can find the section in CPR if you need it.

 

The Default notice does in deed only state 14 days from date of letter, who is to say when it was received.. have you read Zanzibaars (not very good at spelling, sorry) threads, its a biggy also vs amex but the judge stated the default notice was invalid due to this date mismatch, you MUST be given 14 calander days to rectify.

Thanks Shadow.

 

I am still uncertain as to what I have to do here.

 

I have until Monday afternoon to get my documents into the Court, but have obviously contested the CCA and the DN ( I did not have one at the time of their CCJ claim and only received after a CPR request) when I replied to the CCJ claim form.

 

But now, I can see the Application Form more clearly and now KNOW there is no reference to any T&C overleaf.

 

I now KNOW that the previously unseen DN is faulty.

 

I KNOW that they are claiming illegal charges on the account , if the CCJ is granted.

 

They are also claiming interest of 8% per annum from the date of termination of BOTH? accounts (thought I only had one!) persuant of section 64 of the County Courts Act 1984 and costs incurred. I thought (and Shadow has pointed out) that you could not claim interest on a terminated account.

 

I have not received a copy of the TN.

 

I also have a letter from AE, stating that the alleged debt includes over £1500 of agency fees!

 

Summing up:

 

They have

 

No CCA, a faulty DN, have added illegal charges and want more illegal charges added IF they get a CCJ against me!

 

Remembering this is a telephone case management conference, what do I need to do?

Thanks for moving this maroon.

 

I am just reading through some other threads concerning Amex, but still need some questions answered, as I need to get any documentation into the Court by tomorrow, for a telephone conference on Tuesday!

 

Firstly, what is a telephone conference and what do I need to do?

 

Do I need to formulate a new defence for this, or will the defence on my claim form suffice (I have been provided with a copy of the DN since then and it is faulty)?

 

Do I have to partake in the telephone conference and if so, when should I call the number on the Court letter?

 

Should the new defence be a lengthy affair, or should it just be a brief explaination, considering I have gone into detail on the claim form?

 

Thanks,

Hi Yeats,

 

I've just red triangled you. Sorry I personally haven't got a clue, but I hope a legal site person will come along soon.

 

I don't know how Brachers expect to go forward with this - no CCA, and a faulty DN, etc. They do of course sometimes pull out at the last minute and I am hoping this is what happens for you.
