    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Hmmm - They closed our file as well fox (new yrs eve) But haven't stopped processing data as far as i know. Not sure you got anything to lose really, to be honest, if it doesn't work then you can just go back to square one & pee em off a tad longer. Sorry i don't have anything really helpful to advise, am still shockingly bad at retaining the info etc (brain has toooo many tandems going at once). Am pm'ing you. Best wishes, Mpols x

Hi Mpols,

I'm good thanks. In fact, I'm scarily well. Don't want to tempt fate.

 

That thread is a goldmine for getting our own way. I'm going to digest the info and make a decision.

 

Hi Fiftypence

 

"QUOTE"I think it has to be worth ruffling their feathers fox, they may be slightly weakened by recent events, might as well kick a man (DCA) when he's down :grin:"QUOTE"

 

I'm a little worried about this.

Now that Lowlifes have closed my file, couldn't they just reopen it again if I started ruffling feathers. I would love to make them squirm.

I'm thinking of a LBA quoting the new info in toulouse's thread and also cpr 31.16 just to make them think that I'm going to take them to court even though I can't afford to.

I've already sent complaints to the FOS and the Information Commissioner so I'm in a real quandary as to whether this would work.

 

All I think I need is a little reassurance that this debt won't suddenly come up and bite me bearing in mind that they don't have a valid CCA but they might have my cut up credit card(if they haven't thrown it away)

 

Thanks both of you, hope you're both well.

 

fox

 

As I see it if they closed your file coz the papertrail has gone cold then they are stuffed, what are they going to do? Start 'manufacturing' documents?? I suppose there is a risk they could open the file and look harder and longer for the CCA and come up with something genuine and enforceable, you would need to weigh up the risk of that happening - when was the account opened, when did you last make a payment on it, etc you know the questions you need to ask yourself to assess that risk.

 

You could certainly make them sweat a little by requesting info under cpr, they don't know you may be unlikely to follow up with court action, hey isn't that what DCA's do, threaten you with all sorts and then never follow up ;)

 

What's the worst that could happen? They re-open your file, send letters threatening court action (DCA's have a pathological fear of taking people to court because they lose control of the situation and can't dictate what they want you to pay), as you have found CAG you now have the weaponry to keep them at bay anyway :D

 

Speculate to accumulate as they say! But don't take my word for it, it's not me that will have to appear in court if they decide to go for a CCJ :eek:

 

Don't rush into it, just do plenty of reading and make an informed judgment. Good luck though whatever you decide.

If the alleged debt was for a Sharklycard or CAPONE card they the chances of them producing anything resembling an enforceable CCA is ZILCH

 

 

Hi ODC, thanks for looking in.

In my SAR, CAP1 sent me the exact application form that Lowells sent me and as we know it's total sh*te. With that in mind and the fact they have stated that they sent the NOA by second class post, i think, Makes my case stronger considering LOPA 1925 sec 196(4) clearly states that all NOA's are to be sent by registered post.

I'll be looking at LBA's today to get some idea of how to word it but also to include cpr 31.16 to really pull their chain :-D

The Leeds Losers couldnt even send me an application form let alone a notice of assignment so Im paying close attention to the other thread with the intention of punishing them for f***ing up my Credit File. Of course this snippet about Notices of Assignment leaves the whole shower open to punishment.

im going to sound really dim but i need to ask so balls to it! What is a noa??????

 

 

LOL. You're not dim Lalou. I didn't know what NOA was for a while.

NOA= Notice of Assignment. The letter you should receive when a debt is transferred from A credit company to a DCA.

OOHH My head hurts:confused:

I've spent the morning drafting this letter so would appreciate some input from you good peeps.

 

 

Due to Capital One sending a default notice to an address they knew I wasn't at invalidates that notice and makes it unlawful.

 

I would just ram this one home by stating that it wasn't sent via registered post (assuming it wasn't of course, no proof of posting in your SAR bundle was there?), Lowell may claim that sending to 'last known address' is acceptable.

 

Everything else looks OK, Dave ;)

No default notice in the bundle either so I don't know if it was sent or not but Cap1 are going to send me the notice of assignment within the next 14 days

Thanks for your input though Vera;)

Hi mpols,

I'm going to hold off sending it till Monday to let others have a look and suggest edits. At the moment I feel like a f*rt in a colander. So many holes and don't know which one to choose:confused:

I spent all morning doing the research and writing the letter but still very uncertain.

 

On another note, looking through my SAR statements, it seems CAP1 started my file as the statements stop in march 04 but restart in april 08. strange since they state the account has been sold to Lowell. or is it just me :confused:( don't answer that):)

Leave it over the weekend Fox and hopefully some of the Legal experts will confirm if this is good enough for Clownells. There are a helluva lot of people who are in the same position with the Leeds losers so there will be a lot of these letters winging their way to the Leeds Threat Centre

Exactly my thoughts ODC. I'll be spending the rest of the time going through the bundle CAP1 sent me, trying to work out all the codes and stuff.

 

cheers

Hi Silver, Just my little ten penneth.

I would make sure that your letter doesnt give them any wriggle room about the NOA.

IE, as Toulose has stated elsewhere, far better to get them on strict proof eventually, theyve already admitted it sent second class. BUT, you never received said letter etc.

I would Specifically ask for their proof of postage via recorded delivery for the NOA, They either have it or they aint.

Nice ace up your sleeve should you need it.

Just a thought SF you might want to take note of what TLD posted on another thread.

 

Quote: "It's old information, they can post them anyway they like but in order to be deemed served in the absence of any other proof they must be sent recorded.

 

Basically a Court would take the proof of postage as proof the document was sent. There is still the problem that it would be classed as served (not just deemed to be served) in the event you admit having received one".(I know that you dont actually say in the draft letter you did recieve the NOA but just be careful that you haven't mentioned it in any other letters.)

 

"The approach is to put the DCa to proof the document was served and that can only be done with proof of recorded/registered delivery and we all know they just never do that don't we?

If the DCA cannot prove the document was served in accordance with Sec196 an absolute assignment under statute is invalid".

 

I'm sure that you are aware of the above but just in case..:)

Good point Flintstones.

The thing is, I genuinely never received an NOA it was only after I complained to Lowells that thay sent me the NOA but that was after they had closed my file and I have the letter (which included the NOA) stating[the NOA] was sent by second class post:D

I seriously think I have them by the receptacles. :)

 

I'm just editing my letter posted above to include other info
