    • So do I gather that you are out of pocket to the tune of £2500 which is part of the purchase price and a further £1800 in respect of the warranty? The £2500 was used to buy the car. Did warranties200 per year or did they pay big motoring world directly?
    • Farage has agreed to be interviewed by Nick Robinson on Panorama. 7pm this Friday, BBC1. He didn't do very well last time he was questioned on specific policies.
    • I did what I told my husband not to do…and I telephoned them. All credit where it’s due, the lady on the phone was very helpful. I’m not gonna lie I broke down on the phone as this has been incredibly stressful. Perhaps that helped, but I would like to think they just realised they sold us a faulty car.    so we only bought one extended warranty and that was with Nissan. The car salesman gave us the hard sell and we fell for 100%! Part of the sell was if there was ever a problem then we would only ever take the car to a Nissan garage. There was a problem after a few days and we were instructed to go to a third party grange! We contacted Nissan on the phone and they said they would put on a complaint for us so maybe that helped too.    we just want to try and get all of our spend back now. The deposit, money for the finance and money for the extended warranty. I reload we will probably have to pay costs but I guess we can’t argue with that. We just need a new car!!!! Aaarrgghhhh!    thanks so much for your help once again. 
    • Right I see I didn't realise it had to be laid out like that. I have had another go, sorry I'm really struggling here! 1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has thus far been unable to produce any evidence that the alleged debt has been legally assigned to them. Nor have they been able to provide evidence that notice of assignment was given to the defendant on the dates stated in the particulars of their claim. 3. The claimant has given no details as to the breakdown of their claim or what dates it relates to. As a result the defendant is unable to specifically defend the claim until the claimant can show how the amount has been reached. In the claimants particulars of claim, the claimant openly admits that they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and conditions but have failed to provide these to the defendant. Pursuant to the civil procedure rules Practice Direction 16 (7.3) Where a claim is based upon a  written agreement: (1) a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s)  should be available at  the hearing. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:- a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed ; c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 5. It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

Hi all. Is there anybody out there who can help with this matter? I have been recently issued with a statutory demand from a DCA despite the fact they hadn't supplied me with what they claim is a credit agreement.

 

However, there is a twist as they have now provided me with an alleged credit agreement even though this was some time AFTER they issued the statutory demand. Have they shot themselves in the foot or have they got me by the short and curlies?

 

I should also point out that they did provide this document many months ago to the financial ombudsman following my complaint to themselves about the conduct of the DCA. However, for some unknown reason they didn't supply this directly to myself until shortly after issuing the statutory demand.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi Fyffesy

 

A Statutory Demand is the first step to bankruptcy against an individual and this is prepared and served without any court involvement. A statutory demand can be served as soon as the debt is due and a judgment is not necessary.

 

Can you post here the Agreement with your details removed, as it maybe unenforcable?

 

Also the company you owed money to before the DCA got involved, did you claim back any charges?

Hi and thank you both for your swift replies. I have issued the oc with a SAR 42 days ago and have had no response from them at all. I sent them a reminder with 10 days to go and have now sent them a LBA. I also explained that this was important as they sold the debt to a DCA who is now issuing statutory demands etc.

Sorry i can't post it here yet. I am a novice with computers but will ask my brother to scan a copy for me. Thanks again for the advice

Is this DCA Connaught Collections?

 

Debts such as unsecured credit cards and loans, the period is 6 years from default to take the borrower to court. If the relevant period is reached without court action being taken then they lose the right to do so forever. The default date shown on a CRA file is not always the same as the date that you actually defaulted so it may have been before or after what’s still showing on your files. The key issue here is has 6 years passed or not since you defaulted.

 

The original entries remain at present, they all still exist, you’re still liable, and they could perpetually re-register the debts as adverse unpaid entries but not as fresh defaults. This would have an effect on your credit files in the future. So just getting to year 6 successfully will not mean that your CRA files will be free of them and usually are not.

 

Statute barred debt will still be a problem, you have the choice of coming to some full and final deal or not paying at all remembering that you credit file will still show them as defaulted accounts. With Statute barred debt most people would then make a full and final offer of some sort often for a fraction of the debts face value which is nearly always successful first time around. Alternatively as you know that however old it is its still a debt you are liable for which could adversely effect your CRA files as well as any partners and cause you to have to pay more for credit in the future.

To be honest, the issue of my credit rating isn't currently a priority of mine. I am aware that the this will not just disappear.I just cannot understand how companies such as this get away with what they do.

 

I would just like to know where i currently stand regarding this Statutory Demand. Clearly, cabot will not be forthcoming with adice upon my legal rights. This is why i was hoping somebody could explain whether or not the issuing of a Statutory Demand just before the 6 year period expires actually means they have got in just in time and can now commence legal proceedings against me at their leisure.

 

Thanks for the info about the default date by the way. I dint know this

I haven't yet. But as i said previously, its identical to the one in the link i inserted. In actual fact mine is a much poorer quality copy and you can barely read a word of it.

 

How do i get it checked out? And wont cabot just disagree if i say i have sought advice and been told its unenforcable?

Debt Collection Agencies are very careful in the wording of their letters and certainly stretch the legal boundaries to their limits, but they must cease collection activity when informed that the debt is Statute Barred and the alleged debtor has no intention of paying. Remember, creditors are still able to pursue an unsecured debt if they have previously obtained a judgement against you (a CCJ) or you have made a payment to the account within the last 6 years (this includes anyone else named on the credit agreement). We need to look at the exact dates.

 

If your copy is so poor in quality you have trouble reading it then maybe unenforcable under regulation 2 of the Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) Regulations 1983.

If it's the same as the one in the link you can dispute it on two counts, the first being that it doesn't contain the prescribed terms and the second because it's illegible.

Well its actually more complicated than I'd like it to be due to the fact that they are chasing me for two separate debts. According to their copies of statements from the oc, the last payment made to one of these debts was just over 6 years ago. However, i cannot check the exact default dates as i have no way of accessing my CRA files as i currently have no bank account. They issued me with a Statutory Demand days before the 6th anniversary of the final payment. I'm not sure if this was purely by chance or deliberate

Thanks cerberusalert. But do you think the DCA would claim that the prescribed terms are referred to in the small print on the document? I have no way of reading this as it is entirely illegible.

 

Do you have any thoughts as to the reasons the year has been deleted from the date of signing (underneath the signature)?

The same thing has happened on mine. Any ideas? Bizarre
