    • Having another go now. Here is my thoughts on approach with the defence while I edit the WS. Focused around proof of service of CCA required paperwork, referring to s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925, and this section (my highlights) "Any notice required or authorised by this Act to be served shall also be sufficiently served, if it is sent by post in a registered letter addressed to the lessee, lessor, mortgagee, mortgagor, or other person to be served, by name, at the aforesaid place of abode or business, office, or counting-house, and if that letter is not returned through the post-office undelivered; and that service shall be deemed to be made at the time at which the registered letter would in the ordinary course be delivered." Having a photocopied letter only in exhibits is not proof it was serviced. Strict proof? Proof of postage/receipt? Or, am I missing the point with the above please? And somehow arguing the agreement looks smelly.. like I could have typed it up myself. - not sure how this can be argued correctly, but it's just a piece of paper with my name on it, I think having a judge decide is a perfectly reasonable thing for a person to do if they don't think it's right. As it's my first court case and potentially many to come, I'm keen to experience it (or one of the first ones), I can afford to argue this one in court. I will also benefit from seeing this through for future decisions I will have to make.. rock and hard place With all of that said, and taking dx's advice, I'll TO if attractive and maybe do court on future ones that have a greater chance at success.
    • Back in 2019 this forum helped me to get free of Payplan and through some CCA letters dispense with a number of old debts. One related to a Barclays Overdraft from the early 00s, last payment through PayPlan was 04 June 2019. I have informed Drydens in both May 2019 and June 2023 of change of address. No letters beyond a confirmation of the change and a request for finanical details, which ive ignored. Today ive just received 2 letters from them that look like notice of assignment, or confirmation of appointment letters - along with the usual requests for payment and mild threats of further action. What i was wanting to know is do i just ignore these as per usual? I know that i cant CCA an overdraft debt but what is the usual "plan" for dealing with old overdraft debts? Am i trying to run the clock down until June 2025 when it becomes statue barred?
    • put selling and dca's and a very rare chance of a court claim out your mind. months/years if at all. but never ignore a letter of claim. as for the rest, to be frank you are now in the knowledge/research stage. a day.  
    • Upcoming changes to DRO rules The rules to qualify for are DRO are changing on 28 June 2024. From this date, the maximum level of debt you can have for a DRO will increase from £30,000 to £50,000. Another change on the same date will mean you may qualify for a DRO if you have a vehicle worth less than £4,000 (the current limit is £2,000).   Debt Relief Order Unit Insolvency Service Phone: 0300 678 0015 Email: [email protected] Individual Insolvency Register www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/eiir/ Insolvency Service www.gov.uk/government/organisations/insolvency-service   .   .

    • 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 just intimidation to make you pay more - they are greedy barstewards. I would call their bluff and tell them to take you to court as no court will ask you to pay more than you can afford. You paid the £40 regularly so that is proof in itself of your willingness to pay. Ask them outright - by letter - if they have bought the debt or are acting as a collection agency for Ford. You could also ask for a copy of the agreement to check if it is in order - they would have to produce the original to court.

Scroll down to Letter "N". Enclose a £1 postal order and send by recorded delivery. Print, don't sign, your name and send to Link.

then sent copy of dn served by ford can link get po order or does it have to be ford?

thanks

 

The answer depends on whether the debt was properly assigned to Link or not - it hardly ever is. If Link take you to court you will have a very strong defence

My DN has a late letter fee applied to it which i think would make invalid.

Link have been assigned the debt but i have had no NOA served on me!

 

And i think they are going to serve court papers next week, they will not listen to any proposal's i put to them.

Is there any chance you can scan up some of these documents please, there are some very astute people on this site who will be able to establish where you stand in the matter if you can?

 

Don't forget to blank out anything which might identify you.

 

Is the agreement enforceable will be one of the primary things to establish, valid DN's and NOA all play their part in proceedings too so it's better to know exactly what they've got.

 

Strictly speaking the legal bod is incorrect, it matters a lot who it belongs to. The solicitors will bring the case but as representative of the claimant.

 

The claimant might be either the OC (unlikely) or Link Financial.

 

Link can only bring the proceedings themselves if they are the owner and have full title.

 

The DCA's often cannot produce documentation to substantiate this fact.

You have the right to food money.

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

Had a similar problem with link

 

send a cca request to establish if they have the right to collect on this debt

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING that you send to them.

 

If after the statutory period they have not responded

the debt is in formal dispute and that will put a hold on any action.

 

They will probably send you a letter saying that they have to get the agreement from the original lender and that it may take some time,

 

meanwhile look through the threads on here and get as much knowledge as possible.

 

They are a bunch of lying scheming barstewards,

 

I went to court 5 times with them because they didnt comply with legislation

and despite me admitting part of the debt

 

I still got to pay what I agreed and a reduced sum because they couldnt substantiate their figures.

 

The people on this site will help you all the way so keep your chin up.

Dont let the parasite dca's prosper
