    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Been searching the "net" and cant find any recent posts about overdrafts and whether this credit facility is covered by the CCA? I found a post back in March this year which said there was a possibility but nothing from there. Can anyone shed any light?

 

Has a letter from Abbey today to say they have sold debt to good ol' Robinson Way. I've already sent them packing a couple of weeks back on a Barclaycard debt. Any advice greatfully appreciated.

Debt Managers (Barclaycard) £7150 - CCA sent - poor photcopy of app form - they rtnd acct to BC. Then Robinson Way come on scene - sent packing straight away. Will they try a third attempt????? :) Yes they did, roll on Westcot, told them were to stuff it. Not heard anything since but Lowell Financial have been searching my credit file. Round 4, ding a ling ling!!:D Now Crapquest on the scene - bought the debt and want the balance... don't think so 8)

 

Equidebt (Co-Operative Visa) £6800 - CCA sent in June - no response still!! Was Ex-Northern Rock card so probably lost. Equidebt have now agreed to write off and remove credit ref listing completely!!! :lol:

 

 

Robinson Way (Abbey) - debt sold to RW £1840 - await letter from them....cant CCA as bank account.... agreed to settle for £368 :-D

Section 74 (1) (b) of the CCA 1974 exludes overdrafts from being regarded as credit agreements. This is because only one side "agrees" - the bank - and the conditions and terms are imposed on you. Nevertheless, they must be able to prove they sent you a copy of the overdraft limit and interest rate. This can be easily done as they can draw one up at any time and say it was sent to you. The only thing that can be done with overdrafts is to SAR the original creditor and claim back any excessive charges.

Cheers fedup74 and pinky69, Im unsure to be honest. Most likely will be. I haven't kept an eye on the recent developments with bank charges as Abbey initially passed debt to Westcot a couple of years back and recalled it from them for a reason I dont know. Then out of the blue 1 1/2 years later they have passed it to Robinson Way. They clearly state in the letter (on Abbey letterhead) that they have sold the debt to RW and they will contact me shortly. With the fact that they have bought the debt will this affect any claim for charges??

I have got a feeling the hardship case will fall on deaf ears. Yes we do live on the borderline and have a strong case but the letter Abbey sent clearly states that they have washed their hands of the debt and anything from now on will be with RW. They will most likely say speak to RW - the debt is £1850. RW probably have bought the debt for less than £100 in todays climate. I'll ponder over the next couple of days what to do next.... Many thanks for the advice.

Why should you pay RW that amount if a lot of this is charges? I would defo send SAR to see how the amount of charges on there. You could then tell RW that there are unlawful charges on the account and won't be paying them.:)

Newbie A comes on to the CAG. Asks about the CCA request for overdrafts. Gets given the RIGHT answer, that overdrafts only need the one sided "agreement" mentioned by Pinky69 above.

 

So, he does nothing. The DCA enforces the alleged debt, and Newbie A is in trouble.

 

Newbie B comes on to the CAG. Asks the same question. This time an over-enthusiastic Novitiate poster gives the WRONG answer, so Newbie B sends off a CCA request.

 

The DCA makes an "administrative error", and leaves Newbie B alone.

 

Would you rather be the newbie who got the right advice, or the one who got the wrong advice?

 

In case you think this is a purely hypothetical example, I have read threads on this forum where exactly this has happened.

 

It reminds me of the true story of a passenger in a vehicle who fainted at the sight of a man lying in a pool of blood under another vehicle. When the driver got closer to the scene, he found a mechanic lying on a red carpet working on the underside of his vehicle. Often, the perception of reality can have a greater bearing on the outcome of a situation than the reality itself.

I would tend to agree with SH.

 

While overdrafts have part V exemption from the Act (form and content) they are not exempt from the Act and a copy of the agreement still needs to be sent. A more savvy DCA will pick up on the fact that the copy of the agreement would only be a letter from the bank and your CCA request won't bother them in the least (as the overdraft doesn't really fall under s78 ). A less savvy DCA may however just return the account to the creditor. So for the sake of a quid and getting RW out of your life it's probably worth a try.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

 

BEWARE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OFFERING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS.

I had an Abbey overdraft which was bought by a DCA.

 

I cca'd the dca - and after several months they sent me a copy of the bank account application form.

 

Included on the Abbey bank account application form, there were two boxes - tick 'yes' if you want an overdraft - tick 'no' if you don't want an overdraft.

 

I had ticked 'no'

(Therefore the authorised overdraft that I did have on that account was obviously given at a later date)

 

So, I wrote to DCA saying something along the lines that although overdrafts are partly exempt from whatever law governs CCAs', just sending me the application form wasn't good enough.

I said I want to see bank statements and I want to see something in writing that says I had an overdraft facility with Abbey.

 

That was many months ago and I'm still waiting.

So far at least, my £1 hasn't been wasted.

Scabhunter, can I just ask a question? Are you getting at me when you say "An over enthusiastic notivate poster gives the wrong answer so newbie sends off the CCA"? I think I advised OP to send an SAR request, not a CCA to see what charges had been applied. Could you please clarify, cos if this is the case, then maybe I should stop trying to help people

<<<If I have helped please tickle the scales;-)<<<

I have personal experience of this and the CCA worked for me.

 

I think it will depend on who the DCA is (if they are particularly thick or just lazy it may benefit you) and when the account was first opened and when the OD was added. In my case the account was originally opened many, many years ago and the OD was added around 2001? The default on the OD was around 2003/4. I was sent a stat demand for this debt so I CCA'd them and within 24 hours they and closed the account and returned it to the OC.

 

I think that the CCA route is hit and miss and will depend on some of the circumstances I have mentioned, might be worth a try though.
