    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

I have been told by people far more knowledgeable that me that once a debt is statute barred (no payment or acknowledgement in 6 years) it remains statute barred - regardless of whether any payments or acknowledgements are made after this period.

 

On this basis I suppose the question really should have been this:

"Had the OP made any payment or written acknowledgement of the debt in the 6 years prior to these recent Direct Debits?"

 

Cheers.

I'm just saying from what experience I've had with firms like this, BCW, Lowell, Capquest and others thats all and thats what we are here to do help people the best way we can not argue about certain things, if you aknowledge the debt while it was in the 6 years then the 6 years starts again what you need to figure out is when was the last time that both the debts were aknowledged or when the last time that payments were made to them.

 

And I was also comming on to that topic if the second debt has only just reappeared out of thin air and no payments and no aknowledgement has been made then yes it is stat barred but I'm not too sure about the first one as it has been getting payments on it, which again is why I suggested the CCA Request, lets see if they come up with anything as old as these debts.:)

I totally agree with you shawn, I was just thinking that it may well be another stick with which to beat these people!! :-)

Sometimes maybe it's better to have a full arsenal of actions available, that way we have more chance of success. :-)

I am rarely around these parts any more. I only stop by when something has come to my attention that has sufficiently annoyed me so as to persuade me to awake from my nap and put in my two pence.

Puresweet like we have all said on here to you, you will be fine get the letters off tomorrow sit back relax and see if they respond to your requests.:)

Oh god ok dont send the CCA then and see what happens, where as I would send the CCA, and also depending on which debt is stat barred also, remeber there are 2 of them one that hes been getting paid off and a 2nd one that has only dropped out of thin air, so remeber that guys, like I say I would send the CCA request off and the telephone harassment letter off and see what happens then, I dont think dragging this thing all the way to the county court is the way to go, but I'm gonna stop on this thread now since me and a few other people have been helping on this one since early this afternoon and let some of you late night guys talk it over. I just give advice like all of you guys from what I learn, and a CCA Request goes a long way. It helped me when I went to court to get my Stat Demand Set Aside and Lowell's didnt turn up did it not? And that to was a Stat Barred Debt. Anyways Puresweet relax and dont stress.

Requesting CCA's & whatever else is fine enough in itself...but it still wont change the simple fact that they are not legally entitled to a penny without a county courts say so 1st & once all the OP's essential outgoings are taken into account.

Harrassment letters do not normally work from my experience - you have to fight fire with fire with DCA's.

Once you start preaching the law/your rights to them on the phone - they soon go away ;)

I know they do and thats what I've been trying to say just not in a very good way because I'm tired still after teaching today and trying to mark homework assignments and help on here at the same time, it's fun I'm learning now how to multitask.:)

Anyways I doubt it very much that this will even get to a county court.

Exactly...very few of them do go there coz it costs them money & its not worth their while just to get back a £1 per month or something.

Thats why they threaten the way they do, in the hope that you just buckle & pay up :rolleyes:

 

Thats the way of it bully tactics, I used to be afraid of them but now I'm a little older a little wiser I know my rights and anything DCA's throw at you, you just throw it back in their face and then they back off.:)

Boys, boys, boys, don't squabble!! Puresweet is new on this site, and was thinking we were all great.:):)

 

Puresweet, I really think you should send the letter asking for the original agreements because if they are not enforceable the sooner you know that the better.

 

You do need to be strong with the DCAs, but you'll feel much more confident about standing up to them after you have been on the site a few weeks and can see how other people talk to them. There is a thread 'Cheekiness towards a DCA' or something almost like that. Have a read, and you'll be laughing, and realizing they are not so scary after all, and don't have anything like as much power as they would like to kid you they do. Do send the harassment letter too, because you can quote that to then if they do continue to phone you at work.

I dont squabble, I'm a good boy, I have advised Puresweet to send the letters off to them today by recorded delivery, they have worked for me countless times no matter what the age of the debt in question. Like I say send them off relax and see what comes of it, I doubt they will have anything to back up their claims, I got another letter from Lowell the other week for another debt again that has gone past the 6 year rule asking me to pay £130 per month so I sent them the CCA request got a letter back the standard one saying they are going to request it from the Oriinal Creditor I know what is going to follow "We dont have the agreement and neither does the OC" letter, so relax puresweet like I say dont stress about it cos it doesnt help and you'll be fine, trust me on that.:)

I think you are absolutely right to keep everything in writing and it means you have a copy of all correspondence. It's alright for some who give as good as they get on the phone but the majority of people find the experience stressful and upsetting and it is to be avoided for those who do.

Interesting read.....

 

If you receive any further calls flat out refuse to speak to them on the phone, which would include not confirming your details - but say that you are more than willing to deal with this matter in writing.

 

Having dealt with a call centre charlie on behalf of Citi it is not beyond them to lie in the hope of demoralising you into making a payment, in the instance of Citi it not being legally due - but they dont care as their only reason for calling is to extract money out of the person on the other end of the line.

 

Follow the advice here, if its statute barred they will be unable to take any court action as you could state it is statute barred in front of a judge and request costs from them.

Advice offered by ENRON is without prejudice and is for your judgement as to whether to take it. You should seek the assistance or hire of a solicitor or other paid professional if in doubt.
