    • Same as Barclays one I have just updated on. PRA group have written back and told me they intend to proceed with claim, have also sent another stack of documents, similar to last time round. I did fill in an online income breakdown etc on their website  offering to pay them x amount of money back each month,  a couple of weeks back, they haven't acknowledged that ?  
    • Hello, I wasn't able to update the defence, so they got the daft one.  Pra Group have responded dated 25th April saying they intend to proceed with claim. I have also received a stack of documents, similar to last time - print outs of old statements, but this time around they have send me a copy of the Barclay Card Conditions. Unsigned and dated. The address is an old address.  A consumer credit agreement with current address. Pages of it and no signature. I have uploaded onto a PDF what I have. The CCA agreement looks like a generic print out, I5 pages + long, I've included the 1st page that had my details on (redacted) don't know if its necessary to upload all of it.  Barclays 26042024.pdf
    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.

    • 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.

Well you can have any of these: Prejudice aginst debtors, lack of clear understanding of the acts, vested interests, lack of clear direction, inertia, downright lazyness................

 

David

Yes i am now wondering if it would be a serious waste of time complaining to them as like David and others says it seems a complete waste of time especially FOS!,Time seeems more profitably spent sending letters back to show DCAs that you can not be walked all over and learning and reading as much as we can on these threads so we are well armed against these DCAs bulllying tacics and any action taken against us!It could even work against you if complain to FOS and they do not uphold your compliant just saying its outside their remit and like other people say gives DCAS something to crow about! i heard somewhere that they dont even automatically get charged £450 for investigation like some people seem to think i think they have to have had several uphold compliants by same person or something like that!! Well thats what i came across on another thread !Though i may be wrong!

Im happy to help with support and my own opinions but as i have no legal qualifications If I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action,

Sunflower, I think you are correct in that the charges for investigating by the FOS are not immediate. There has to have been more than one complaint about the same company. Not necessarily from the same person. :D

 

However, I would be more than surprised if the likes of MBNA , Capital One, HSBC etc arent paying on a regular basis. :rolleyes: You would only have to add up the number of threads in the different bank forums to know that more than one complaint has surely been made against nearly all of them.

Actually I just threatened Debitas this evening. I said if they ever called me again while the account was in dispute I would report them to FOS, OFT, the world, etc.

 

Got told again they had sent the agreement two months ago. "No - that was just my name and address under the words 'Application form' and a signature box referring to 23 overleaf". Could I ring Capone? She would give me the number. "No, I can't. I've already spoken to dozens of people at Capone, Debitas, sent letters, and so on." She's going to ask someone to send the agreement.

 

What gets me here is that there must be dozens, if not hundreds, of us all having these conversations with Capone and saying we're not going to pay, account in dispute, etc., and clearly we are all being quite firm with them, and quoting CCA 1974, etc., so why on earth are they still calling? Can they seriously expect us to say anything different? "Okay, I've told you 15 times already that this account is in dispute but, Hey, why don't I pay you something on my debit card after all?" Absolutely barking.

This is so true it's almost not funny!

 

It's not with cap1, but yesterday we had 5 calls from BOS who have sent a completely unenforceable application form under the CCA request (3 times actually as I keep complaining:)) Each time they were told not to phone, OH doesn't discuss financial matters on the phone. As you say DD, what the hell are they thinking you're going to do? Suddenly decide you'd like nothing better than to chat with a moron about paying money they're not entitled to ask for? Sheesh.

 

At least in the phone call this morning the woman had a modicum of sense and said she'd hold calls for 10 days, but that was all she could do. I did suggest that she might like to add a note to the effect that when the calls started again we would be having this exact same conversation:)

 

Just to add into the Cap1 fan club, I've been sent a blank agreement in response to my CCA request. I've only got as far as informing them it's not enforceable, but then being told that this complies with the CCA and is enforceable. I've been a bit lax over Christmas though and not told them to send me something that actually is enforceable yet. I'll be in there soon though:D

Well, most DCA's I have dealt with don't seem to have a plan other than 'scare them into paying' and their computer systems carry on regardless.

 

If you think about it, if a DCA is acting on behalf of an O/C, that's all they can do as THEY HAVE NO POWERS WHATSOEVER. Only the O/C can take action.

 

All that happens is eventually the DCA's stops wasting time on it and sends it back, then off it goes to another one.

Hi Sunflower, David, and everyone else.

 

I know this is your thread Sunflower, but it may be of interest to a number of people here - yours is after all the site where people are signing up! (Must be the Debitas laugh-ins!)

 

Question: How many times has anyone waited/ or should we wait / for a proper signed agreement? I know we can reply when they haven't sent the proper CCA within 12+2, or send unacceptable rubbish, but because of Christmas I am way behind on that and I have asked three times for the signed CCA. First time got current terms and conditions, second and third time got signature box and nothing else. They have obviously cut the signature box from somewhere - or did they just keep the signature box as that is all they have sent? If they have got the rest and not just the signature box they keep sending they must know it is unenforceable.

 

Just starting my ' You don't have an enforceable agreement' letters and want to send this to Capone, but they are so incompetent they may of course have a proper agreement, although I can't believe if they actually have they wouldn't have grabbed the first opportunity to send it. Why just send the signature box if they have anything else worthwhile?

 

Any thoughts?

 

Sunflower, I thought I saw a posting from you a couple of days ago on another thread at about 3.00 a.m. I know it's tempting if you can't sleep to go online, but I'm not doing it. Even Slick and I close down at about 12.30!! - I think we are both serious nightowls.

 

I have terrible insomnia - as I am sure so many of us do here - and just before Christmas I read a tip on 'top tips for girls' which said that we can only hold one thought in our minds at any one time, and of course that is absolutely right. I always wake up at about 3.00 a.m. I used to lie there worrying about it all until dawn, then I read the tip. I don't do that any more - I start reading. You need a thriller, detective, ideally, but Joanna Trollope, Mary Wesley (if you don't want anything too gory), anything will do, provided you are interested in the story. It's not a question of boring you to sleep, and you don't want to concentrate too hard, so serious stuff won't work. You may still be awake for an hour or more, but you'll start to feel sleepy and you will go to sleep. Better to read a book than lie there worrying.

 

Lots of love,

 

DD

I was told by a girl at the Collections bit of Cap One this evening, after listing my complaints, that this is why they are 'not requesting payment' and 'understand why I am not making payment' :cool:

 

So I think some of them are getting pretty worn down by all the complaints :D

That sounds like the sweet one who once said she hoped I would have "a nice day", not one of the sour old grumps. :) I hope they are getting the message.

 

I saw on the 'Cheekiness towards a DCA" thread that several people were saying something like, "Oh, there goes a bumble bee." in the middle of the conversations with capone/debitas/or whatever DCA. Maybe we should co-ordinate this so that everyone who has contact with them on a particular day has to use a certain phrase in the conversation - eg. bumblebee, or "isn't it absolutely boiling today" (in midwinter when it's -1), or whatever. Just a thought.

I love how when you demand to be escalated to a supervisor they say:

 

'I am the account manager'

 

Wow, have you been promoted? What's happened to Isha, Balakash, Rona, Puljama... etc etc...

 

I feel honoured... I have about 12 managers on my account :D

Seriously, Daniella. If they havent provided a copy of a compliant agreement after 3 or 4 attempts then they are unlikely to cave in.. no matter how many well scripted letters you send them.

 

Personally, I would wait until either they or one of their Agents sends a letter threatening litigation or as in Lexis case, where they threatened to remove the batteries from her remote control... then hit them with a letter similar to that in post 58 on Lexis' BOS thread.
