    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM  
    • Thanks a lot.  I did read every single post and though the process was fairly clear at a high level, I just wanted to be sure in the areas a posted. Call it first time nerves, going down this route.  Thanks again.

    • 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.

This is typical of the plonkers trying to buy more time for themselves. Well the judge didn't even hold a hearing on mine and just struck it out so they get extra days to come up with the goods just because they haven't provided the information that had been requested. They just tell lies and it keeps coming to light what the plonkers are like, I bet they're spitting their dummies out over mine and probably the same over yours. You do realise you're not supposed to have a clue how defend anything - well they realise now that you know something.

Keep up the good work for everyone.

You should be able to tell from your statements. If they have been adding charges/late payment fees then these should be itemised on your statements. Check the figures on the DN to see if they appear on the statement balance at the point you received it.

Thanks CitiB. What I need to know is how do they work out the amount on the DN in order to remedy the breach. Is it the amount of minimum payments not received or areas? OH has rec'd one notice of sums in areas. It shows total not paid, then total areas (which is different to total not paid), sorry but this is as clear as mud. I have looked at the statements taken off defaul amount and it's not what's on the DN??? I'm completely stupped on this and have come to the conclusion I'm thick Help:D

Hi Joe, sorry my fault.

 

In the Default notice, I believe they can only ask for the arears ie what hasnt been paid up to the date the DN was issued. They cant ask for the full outstanding balance because that isnt due yet.

Looks as if there is a late payment fee included in the DN amount. The DN amount should be the the minimum payment amt on statement, minus any payments rec'd, then minus the late default charges, if i'm right then they are WRONG and I definately have a dodgy DN in my hands:p

Sorry I need to clarify something. In october a late payment fee was added to the account. Minimum payments are calculated at a % of the total amount, therefore the exact amount of £12 late fee is not on the DN that was issued in March for the areas, but a % of it is, does this then make the DN notice invalid or not:confused:

 

I hope someone can clairify this for me.

Thanks

The idea is to throw as much confusion toward ANY document you are sent.

 

Ie.. date of remedy from date of issue

 

Are there any charges.. yes apparently.. doesnt matter how much at this stage.. there are some

 

Assignment this to me is the best error they have made.. By assigning over the account to Link before the remedy date they took away 3 days. Plus they shouldnt have done it in the first place. :D

 

Until you receive a copy of the Agreement/application form and historic t&cs, then you do not know if the clause they have defaulted you on (8) is actually correct. If that darned "cool" smiley appears again.. the figure in brackets should read "8"

 

Meanwhile, pray that MBNA or Link terminates the account as well.. That would really put the icing on the cake :D

Thanks CitiB, Can always rely on you.:)

 

I was of the impression that the account had been terminated as they have sold the debt to link, is that not the case:confused: OH hasn't rec'd letter from MBNA terminating account, should he have done??

TBH, Joe, I am not sure you can safely assume the account has been terminated unless they have actually stated that. But yes, one would think that as they had assigned the account that is has in fact been terminated. :)

After reading some of the threads on here, even if you had a termination letter, you couldn't safely assume, because if they realised they had mucked up they may try and back track to rectify anything:eek::-D

Thanks again citib

I didn't either Joemay. But it does say in my default notice "that on or after the date shown, your account will be closed and the credit agreement terminated". Don't know if that would stand up in court as a termination or not. Perhaps its just another of MBNA's cock-ups ;)

Hi Citib - Thanks for that, have been re-reading your post & I have just realised something and wanted to pick your brain. MBNA was never the original creditor, the account was sold from one bank to another. OH didn't receive letter/notice informing him of this and certainly didn't sign an agreement with MBNA, so my question is......

 

Would he had to have signed an agreement with MBNA, if not then wouldn't the original T&C's(from OC) still be in force, bearing in mind that OH never used the MBNA card.:D There is, is there not, a possibility the the clause (8) on orig T&C's is not the same as MBNA's.

 

Anyone out there with knowledge of this type of situation, advise would be gratefully appreciated:)

Hahaha.. if you find any brain whilst you are picking away... let me know Joe. :D I will immediately get a conservation order out on it :lol:

 

Aha, if the account was originally with another bank then no.. I doubt MBNA will have any signature on documents with their name on? Which bank was it originally ?

Marbles, which I think is/was HFC?

Share on other sites

Hi CitiB, Marbles(HFC) was the original creditor - does that help OH?

 

TBH, I dont know whether it does or not Joe. However, I would think it would have been necessary for HFC to pass on all the original paperwork when they passed all the accounts over to MBNA ! Perhaps, if you do an SAR then you would discover when the account was taken over by MBNA.

 

One thing I am noticing with accounts that MBNA took over from Abbey/Virgin/BOS is that the signature for the company (which appears to be a stamp) is the same squiggle as that on accounts originating with MBNA. How can be ?
