    • no DCA is a bailiff end of neither do they have any legal powers whatsoever. i would write to everyone simply giving your current abroad address , inc proof of residency. that will stop all threats going to anywhere else.  
    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.

    • 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.

Had a call today from CQ, it was the woman named on the stat demand getting back to me from the call I placed almost 5 weeks ago. I told her i was recording the call and therefore not to incriminate herself lol she asked for my date of birth andwhen i gave it her she replied "thats not what i have here" I then said well if you had given me the details I asked for in the first place we could have clarified what I have said all along "THIS

IS NOT MY DEBT" she then said she would be writing to the court to say she could not get the appropriate documentation and would be closing the file and sending a copy to me. I then thanked her for her delayed call and said that since I had spent a lot of time worrying and preparing for this hearing I would still be attending whether she sent a letter or not. Was this the correct thing to do. She completely caught me off guard??

We carry on as usual Chezza.....well done. Keep me posted....I suggest that if they want to discontinue this action they pay your costs for the time you have spent researching both Consumer Law and Insolvency Law, and you will not back down unless they pay them.

Exactly no proof its her but as they send so many out some might have tryed to contact her and as it makes a SD invalid if you cant then maybe they have come up with something hmmm DCAs dont lie because they said so, and to moorcroft that letter you sent i dont think so lol.

I've had a couple of SD's and tried to phone one of the names that appeared on one of them and had a very interesting conversation with a phone monkey who basically said the person I was trying to contact NEVER takes calls from anyone. That was Lowells if anyone was wondering.

Well under the rules governing the issue of an SD you should beable to contact the person who is named on the form.

 

True, and if you can't contact them I believe its another reason for a set aside, in fact it could be the only reason for set aside although I don't think I would try and rely solely on that myself. :confused:

Hi stuscfc, Yes, it was her that called, or that is what she called herself. But my original call was made over 5 weeks ago and i had put on my affidavit that i had tried to call her a few times and the "monkeys" there had said she was only the woman that signed the legal paperwork. make of it as you will.......

hi all, well received two letters from CQ today. the first saying " we thank you for your correspondence. We can confirm this account is now closed and we will no longer pursue you for payment."

 

The second is about the Stat Demand. Sorry i can post it as i dont have a scanner but I will write what it says.

 

Dear Chezza

 

application to set aside the Statutory Demand

****** mrs **********

Hearing date and time

 

We acknowledge receipt of the application to set aside the Statutory Demand.

 

We have recognised that your defence has been copied and pasted from a website, almost entirely word for word. We believe that the court will not be impressed with the fact that your evidence is a copy of a standard version found on the internet.

 

We also note your claim regarding costs to be awarded against Capquest Investments Limited, being that of #170 per hour spent on preparing the Application. This again is a standard wording. We are concerned that your application may be an attempt to mislead the court. You make statements that:

 

a. You are a lone parent.

b. You have a low income.

c. You approached a solicitor.

d. You have incurred costs.

Are all of these true?

 

We believe your costs are minimal because there was minimal amount of time spent on your application and the solicitor fees were not incurred.

 

We will be willing to set aside the Statutory Demand but with no order as to costs. Please let us know within 14 days of you agree to this. If we do not hear from you our agreement to setting aside the Statutory Demand will be reconsidered.

 

yours blah blah blah

 

please can you advise me what to do now cos im at the end of my tether with these jokers.

OK:

 

1. The court will not give two hoots about whether you have taken advice from a website or not. at the end of the day, you are a LIP and so needs must in terms of research.

 

2. 2 a. You are a lone parent.

b. You have a low income.

c. You approached a solicitor.

d. You have incurred costs.

Are all of these true?"

 

Well, are all of these true?

 

3. They do not make the judgement as to whether to set-side the Statutory Demand or not, that is up to the judge.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

The judge i had nooded when i told him i had advice from here no comment on if it was wrong or not as it was part of my research and as tig said the judge is the one who says yes or no to a set a side judgement and to what costs are ordered and i was quiet blatant to that fact and of what CQ had done with other cases.Trying to dictate to the court that no costs should be added i dont think goes down that well realy.I had a letter about no costs being awarded to myself from this lot and they were willing for the set a side which CQ sent to the court but i had my costs.

Let's face it Chezza...you would be very silly to just use advice from a website, I know you have sought advice from a solicitor and done your research !!! It makes no difference what they say....let them put it up in front of a judge !! Once again, they are QUITE HAPPY to issue stat demands, use the Insolvency service as a means of debt collection when they HAVE NO PAPERWORK to back up their claim....then back out....still they try and go on the offensive.....I think they need to seek legal help themselves and maybe employ a qualified solicitor !! ridiculous....

firstly let me say a big thank you to everyone for putting my mind at rest. These people really know how to make your blood boil.

 

Secondly, Yes I have used the internet to research the consumer credit act and the insolvency act. This was a must as I am literally housebound due to my illness, but they havent taken into account that I said in the beginning (this debt was not mine) had they done their homework they could have established this and saved me 40+ hours trawlling the internet in desperation before I came across this life saving group.

 

I am a lone parent

I have a low income

I did approach a solicitor

I have incurred costs

 

All of the above are true.

 

So, do I reply to their letter or just treat it with the contempt it deserves????

just take the letter to the court and let the judge see it.it is right what 42 man has said they wont turn up in court but they might send 1 or 2 letters before it but dont worry just put them in your file with the rest and stick to you guns.
