    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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,

 

This is the CCA that MBNA have sent me for one of the two cards that I have with them.

At first glance I had a horrible feeling that this might be enforceable but I'm not 100% sure. The important - data protection section mentions condition 11 but I can't see a condition 11 in what they've sent. It was scanned by them back to back and the poor quality is down to them not me:-)

Would you please take a look and give me your opinions.

Hi ccman,

 

I'm afraid that's it! Apart from the current T&C's and the latest statement that's all they sent. It isn't A4 size and looks like one of those postcard type things that was filled out.

Am I assuming that it isn't enforceable?:D

UPDATE:

 

No further info received after the above CCA other than a new monthly statement and an email. I still have absolutely no idea how they got my email address but this is what they sent on Wednesday 15th:

 

"We would much rather come to an agreement with you directly than take further action however, you are leaving us with no choice. Due to regulatory requirements we will be forced to default your account, which will remain on your credit file for six years. A Default does not relieve you of the responsibility to repay the debt, which may be legally assigned to a third party for collection.

 

To prevent recovery action, please call an account manager on 01244 681461, they will be available Monday to Thursday 8am to 9pm, Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm."

 

Not sure that this is an acceptable email to send to someone especially as they have no idea if I share my computer with someone or whether my emails can be seen by anyone else:shock:. The fact is that I do and they can but luckily it's the OH and he is fully aware of the situation.

 

Me thinks this will be another thing to complain about if they ever take me to court.

Typical MBNA thuggery.

 

The "priority application form " is poor and there appears to be no relationship between two bits of paper.

 

It might be a good idea to have a look round various MBNA threads and see what steps other MBNA victims have come up against.

 

As you rightly say, until they actually get a court order, none of the things they say they will do can happen. One day, MBNA might actually get the message that they abide by the laws of this country. Whether they like it or not:)

I have a similar problem with MBNA but don't own any property. I have told them the last agreement they sent me contains nothing legally required and spoke to them on the phone since. MBNA on the back foot, the guy i spoke to said he would try to dig a better copy for me and in the same call offered me a 25% settlement for the account if payment is made within 60 days. He sounded like he knew they didnt have the proper copy going by his voice and frustration. Only my own experience but i'm glad i spoke to them on the phone, although 95% of people here would say it's a bad idea.

Hi JoeZ, I agree sometimes it does help.

I also got a phone call the day I got the above letter and when I ranted about them having my email address they took it off their records (apparently).

I also mentioned the account was in dispute etc and to give her her due she did read through their computer "file" to see if she could help further.

 

Good luck with your problems and keep us all updated:)

When you say he offered you a 25% settlement if you were to pay within 60 days.. was that 25% of the outstanding amount or 75% of the outstanding amount ?

 

Be assured that unless you receive that offer in writing and that it is for a F&F settlement and the account marked satisfied, you may well find yourself dealing with a DCA for the rest of it.

MBNA total Debt £9040. Thier offer to me £2260 full settlement of account with e-mail advising they will not sell / pass the rest and it would be written off. No one will ever chase for payment. Only bad bit, they cannot mark credit file as satisfied in full, don't care though, it's shot to bits anyway.

UPDATE:

 

I was going to sit back and let MBNA hang themselves due to not having provided an enforceable CCA but having read many many threads (and arguments) on here I have decided to send a CPR 31.16 letter.

 

They have been harrassing me by phone (which no longer bothers me) and in the process have turned me back into a teenager cos I constantly say "Whatever" in a very sarcastic manner to all their threats and arguments. They no longer bother with security questions so next time I'm tempted to get my sister to answer it, pretend to be me and then throw the truth at them and see how fast they disappear when I quote Data Protection at them:D

 

Will send CPR S/D and see what happens.

Got a call from MBNA again today, still no security questions:-x

 

Was a very bizarre conversation. Young lady confirmed that I was in dispute with them and that I was after a copy of my application form. I said no, copy of my consumer credit agreement. She said they are the same thing.

Also said I owed them a £1 to provide it. When I disagreed as it was requested under CPR she said that's the same as section 78! I didn't point out that they had already responded to the S78 - talk about not having a clue what they're doing.

Anyway, she then said that a default was due to be put on the account tonight unless I paid - she then asked if that was alright???!!!!!

I told her that I wasn't giving her permission to do anything - obviously they were recording the call and would want to use that later.

She then said that I'd receive a letter in 7-10 days advising me which debt collector would have the debt passed to them, again she asked if that was alright - I obviously smelled a rat and just said do what you must and hung up.

 

Now I'm obviously not going to get any further response to my CPR and that is due to expire on 3rd June so I am assuming that I will just send the 2nd letter in the CPR process and see what happens?

WOW!!! what a great result, congratulations:D

 

how long had you been not paying your monthly statement?

 

account in dispute since November 08 and at this point was dealing with Payplan who were making contributions on my behalf of around £30 a month since december. Told them will be made redundant next month (which may happen) and they were pleading for a settlement. Bent over backwards :)

 

Just had a call from Mercers on behalf of Barclaycard, 25% full and final settlement, said no way as account in dispute since Novermber as well, quoted loads of legal blah blah which im getting good at now and and they are now offerering 25% f+f from November statement. Said i'll think about it but want it in writing first, so waiting for that now. Yay!

DC, I have been having a think about the letter that MBNA sent you. Can I suggest you send a copy of it to the OFT, using the letter in the link below. You will need to amend it slightly to reflect the fact that it is the Original Creditor using this kind of tactic.

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/50-complaint-in-respect-of-dca-threat-re-expired-debt/101-complaint-in-respect-of-invalid-cca-agreement

 

 

You will need to send a copy of the document they sent you and a copy of that threatening letter with the OFT letter.

 

You will receive a letter from the OFT that basically says they are unable to act on behalf of an individual however, they will ask you to sign a form adivsing that they will be keeping your information on file until such times as there are sufficient complaints against the company to take action.

 

The more people that complain about the initimadatory tactics used by MBNA the better. :D

Still no acknowledgement of my CPR requests but I have received a default notice. The DN appears to be correct with dates and wording and it gives me until 25th June to remedy the situation. Guess what?! - they've put a default on my credit file as of 7th June 2009, same day the DN was issued:mad:

That's clever, the 7th of June was a Sunday. So Monday, earliest it could have gone out. How was it posted.. 1st, 2nd or UK Mail. ?
