    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • So this is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest  
    • Yup, it isn't a criminal case, it's hard to prove, but take a detailed look at my thread to see how many holes there are in what they have sent me, there is a picture building.

    • 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.

Dear Sirs,

RE Account NO XXXXXXXX

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/2008 the contents of which are noted

In your letter you make reference to requiring my signed authorisation before you comply. I draw your attention to the fact that the Consumer Credit Act 1974 does not require that i supply you a copy of my signature before you comply with my S78 request.

If it is for Data Protection purposes then i can happily supply you with documentation to substantiate my identity to you.

However please note that to date you have happily sent statements and correspondence containing extensive sensitive private information to my address. I have to ask if you are concerned that you are corresponding with the correct person why has it taken so long to raise this?

As you are aware, disclosing data without adequate checks of identity is contrary to the 7th principal of data protection, listed in schedule 1 of the Data protection Act 1998:

7. Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

My request for a true copy of my credit agreement under section 77/78 was made on xx/xx/2007 and the 12 working days for your compliance expire on xx/xx/2007. I note that there is no provision that removes the requirements of the act to provide this information on time, even if you are unsure of my identity.

i look forward to receiving the documentation requested

Regards

Hi there

 

An update from me, the phone calls have stopped have not had any for 2 days now, I sent off the letter that ada posted so thanks for that, I posted it on 8/6, this morning i got a letter from them saying that if i dont contact them or pay my arrers then they are slapping me with a defult and will cost me £50 for the pleasure.

What shall i do? they know they cant produce a CCA and i have told them they cannot put anything on my credit file until they produce one... feel like i winning a losing battle with this one. I know alot of these are threats but i really dont want a defult on my file if i can help it especially as they are the ones in the wrong with not having a CCA for me.

 

Thanks

unfortunately this is how they work,

 

there are several ways to go about it,

 

you can send the account in dispute letter:

 

Account In Dispute

Ref:

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your letter of xx/xx/xx, the contents of which have been noted.

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

On **DATE** I made a formal request for a true signed agreement for the alleged account under consumer credit Act 1974 s77/8. A copy of which is enclosed for your perusal and ease of reference.

You have failed to comply with my request, and as such the account entered default on **DATE**.(12+2 days after you sent the CCA request)

The document that you are obliged to send me is a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company and myself as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments. If the executed agreement contained any reference to any other document, you are also obliged to send me a copy of that document.In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

Furthermore

You are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before your client enters into a default situation.

This limit has expired

As you are no doubt aware section 77(6) states:

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

As you have Failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, Failed to send a full statement of the account and Failed to provide any of the documentation requested.

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

Should you not respond within 14 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

* You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

* You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.

* You may not pass the account to a third party.

* You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.

* You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit. You have 14 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint. I therefore request a copy of your official complaints procedure which you are obliged to supply.

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

another option is if you really want to find out if there is an agreement:

and the cagger who has use the above link:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/165349-smt37-morgan-stanley-goldfish.html

 

if they do place a default this may help:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/111211-defaults-background-removal-methods.html

 

it depends on what feels right for you.

Hi

 

The plot thickens, I got a letter today from them to say that they have reviewed my complaint and after reviewing it they still hold me responsable for the debt and even though they do not have my origanal CCA they have sent me the latest version and they have also sent me statements and this as far as they are concerned is enough. They said i obviously reconise the debt as i have been writting to them and replying to the letters they have sent and i have been paying them every month for god knows how many years.

 

They have said i will no longer get any phone calls but they expenct me to pay up, and this is the last i will hear from them basically they are washing there hands with me and they will no longer reply to any of my letters and if i dont pay up i will still incure charges and interest and they will still add information to my credit file.

 

The debt is such a small amount but out of princaple i dont want to give up. What do i do now, if i send them another letter will they just ignor it and keep adding charges to my account? Would they even dare add a defult to my credit file or take me to court would they have a leg to stand on.... im feeling a bit stressed out about this one i though out of all of them being the smallest debt it would be the easiest but its the worst one. :(

Thanks

Hi,

They won't take you to court without a valid CCA but they will trash your credit file and with the "blessing" of the Information Commissioners.

 

As far as I see, the only way to stop them is to sue them.

They need your signature to process data but the ICO say that because you have been paying for X amount of time, then you must have given permission at some time.

A judge would look at it and without a CCA i think he (or she) would find in your favour

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

depends on what you want to do.

 

are you worried about your CF? if you are then you may want to go the CPR route above and follow it through.

 

the last letter i would keep safe as they admit they do not have a cca and on this basis if they do demand payment then a complaint to the OFT and TS wonlt go amiss.

Ok yes i did read through this and to be honest i dont feel like i can cope with going down that route, looks like i may have to give in as all they will end up doing is trashing my CF which i can handle but whats the point if they are going to keep charging me my debt will end up doubling.

 

Thanks for all your help with this one ida.

HI PGH7447

 

This account has not even got to the DCA yet, its HFC/Benificial who have turned up. I have sent every letter possible to tell them account is in dispute, and it went to the complaints dept they sent a letter back to say the are not going forward with my complaint as, as far as they can see i have a relationship with the bank because I have been paying the load for so many years.

I will say out of all my creditors this is the smallest debt and they have been the worst to deal with :(

Thanks

Have you got a camcorder? Get the news paper daily and keep it by your front door along with the charged camcorder. Next time they turn up open the door with the camcorder in hand and film the newspaper front cover and then film them, which they will not like.

 

The newspaper is to confirm it had to be that date or later, in case they say it was before they got warned off - you couldn't have todays newspaper 2 weeks ago!

 

Don't speak with them other than to tell them they are univited and thus are trespassing and you want them to leave immediately or you will call the police. If they don't leave, call the police.

Hi WG, I dont have a camcorder but it will be the person who looks after my children that will get them at the door next time, and what is really annoying is they posted this letter through without sealing it.

 

If i send them a letter on monday telling them under no circumstances should they come to my door or i will report them for tresspassing, will they take notice of it? do they even care? how many times will they come knocking before they back off. At the end of the day they do not have an enforcable agreement for me, so im not paying another penny.. if they take me to court will they laugh them out fo court or will the court go with them because they can see that over the years i have been paying..

 

I have read up on the HFC forum and they seem to be the worst at ignoring letters etc... Once i have stopped them coming to my door i will complain to the OFT.

 

Thanks
