    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Today I have received exactly the same letter from LCS solicitors. Am now concerned that propjoe said he got a stat demand 4 weeks after this letter!!! Is there a letter I should be sending to 1st Credit?? The account is in dispute as I am still awaiting my CCA from them (Halifax CC).

Have you heard anything further Mickey????

Kind regards

I've also been recently dealing with a debt which occurred due to fraudulent transaction relating to my credit card with Barclaycard.

Thanks to the help here, Barclays have sorted out the problem and compensated me.

 

Markmarcos -v- BC **WON £500 Compensation**

 

HOWEVER, i would like to complain about the way Connaught Debt Collectors, in conjunction with 1st Credit, went about there business!!...i.e, understanding no particulars about the debt, apart from the fact they had a document with my name on it and an owed figure next to it!

They started threatening me with a Statutory Demand, which i had to defend in court...thats when 1st Credit took over...2 YEARS LATER!!

 

I would appreciate some help from some knowledgeable individuals who can compile a letter for me that will send the same shivers up them, that their letter did to me.

 

I would appreciate making some contribution in making their life hell, as they are doing to thousands of hard working folk.

 

My case has just been resolved by Barclaycard (please read link to thread above ), and i am really happy in their attitude and professionalism in dealing with my case....BUT would like a continuation of demands by myself to be compensated for the distress Connaught and First Credit have caused, collectively.

I would also like to write a letter to OFT with regards to this case and any other government, licensing organisations which can revoke their license or penalise them.

 

I was not going to do this initially, but after being advised on my case from the beginning by a member here, namely Slick, and reading other distressed folk....i feel i am in a position to write EVIL letters with the know that they now want to avoid me.

 

 

I await anyones and everyones help in the letters, templates etc.

Thankyou

 

Mark

1st Cretins really are a bunch of idiots, I would say don't worry too much about what they send, you will no doubt receive a statutory demand followed by a letter from their "solicitors" just before the set aside hearing saying they will not be attending. Thats what I got, I went to the set aside hearing though as I was the one who had requested it SD was set aside and costs awarded. Not heard a dicky bird from them since then and that was 6 months ago.

 

Good luck, and most importantly, don't worry you are in the right place :)

Thanks Duffers mum

 

What is a set aside hearing? does this make the debt unenforceable??

 

TA

 

Mick

 

Its the means to dismiss the stat demand.. if you dont apply to set it aside then they can get judgement in default essentially and proceed to bankrupt you.

 

If you do a search on set aside stat demands on this site you'll find a large amount of stat demands get set aside.

changed nullify to dismiss... reads better?

As far as I am concerned my debt which was originally a Citi Card is unenforceable as they have not been able to provide a copy of my credit agreement. In fact they never sent me anything at all, not even an application form, yet they thought they could demand money from me.

 

Ah to be that stupid, ;) they read these boards, they know as CAGGERs are not daft, but still they try, cost them £140 in my case, and I know its cost them a lot more with all the other costs they've had to fork out! :)

Hi All

 

 

Well i got a response to my complaint, But i really do not understand what they are getting at they have used clauses in the CCA that i do not understand.

 

 

They have made it clear that they do not like us here on the forum and warned me about using them so they must be watching.

 

They mention in the breakdown of account that the aggrement was with the halifax! this is not true the loan was with AA Finance.

 

Do you think it is worth posting the CCA seperatly for an expert to take a look at post the CCA they have sent for the experts to take a look.

 

Can you guys take a look at the attached letter and give me a pointer for my next step.

 

Many thanks

 

Mick

That's a massive compliment to all involved with the Consumer Action Group.

 

What are they like though seriously? 'Don't you dare get advice from the CAG forums because then we wont be able to get the money you dont owe us'.

Blub, blub.....

You have the right to food money.

If you don't mind a little investigation, humiliation, and if you cross your fingers rehabilitation..............
