    • Hi Schipoo and thank you for the update.   Excellent news for you and a huge relief, I imagine. You might like to start a new thread about Independent Tax if you want advice on that problem. HB
    • Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

    • As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • 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 guys, I need some advice.

I am dealing with Lowell in behalf of a friend. hey have some how obtained my new un registered mobile number. I know my friend would not have given it to them because she has got the old one and my new one is family only number which i had had the matter of 3 weeks.

 

I never gave them any number on the letters. They told me the person i am acting on behalf of gave them it but i know she could not have.

 

Anyway they are a bunch of liars so never believe what they say until they have buggered off.

How are this company allowed to continue with the tactics they use. Surely they have breached countless regulations. And how can the people that work there sleep at night!!

 

The woman I spoke to was extremely insulting to me. After asking who the company was who I owed the money too, she said "Do you owe to that many companies you have forgotten!!!" If i could have put my hand down the phone I would have choked her!! I have no credit purely because i don't have and have never had a credit card. I have no loans and not a dot on HP. I buy with hard earned cash, if i don't haveit, I don't buy it!!!!

 

I refuse to have my hard earned cash given to someone who does naff all. I have a respectable job and for the first time in my life feel secure!!

 

A good place to be in this current climate.:cool:

they are sailing very close to the wind,and are being watched by OFT /TS/FOS at the moment.

 

they will say anything to get a payment,abuse that you cant prove unless you have been lucky enough to record their vile crap:)and thats why they dont like it when you refuse to speak to them,they cant talk to you like that in a letter:rolleyes:

 

everyone continue to report,every complaint costs them:D

With regard to your question of how they keep getting away with it, this is why we ask everyone with any problem to notify the OFT and TS as this is the only way they can be stopped. They have had their own way for too long and it is time to stand up and be counted.

 

As requested Sam, !

Hi,

 

Just responding to your PM.

 

You asked how to see them off. Well it is easy so long as they don't have the agreement.

 

You say they have "graciously" stopped collection activity until such time an agreement is found.

 

They are fairly predictable in their tactics.

In my case, once I'd asked for the agreement, they sent 3 letters and then a final one saying they couldn't find the agreement "within the timescales allowed" so they were closing my file. Each letter before they vanished offered me the opportunity to settle for a smaller amount which I chose to ignore.

 

I don't think you will be able to get rid of them entirely as they love to screw with your credit file to make things awkward for a few years. Up to now, the only time anyone's credit file has been cleared is by taking Lowells to court (I could be wrong of course :))

 

It's just a case of wait and see at the moment. If you've not read my liitle thread on lowells, I can point you in the right direction.

devonhillbilly.

up to you regarding f&f that they will try as a last ditch attempt to get something back,

I would not give them a penny:rolleyes:

watch your file though as they like to do it for spite,me thinks.

You will probably received a letter from them stating that they have 40 days to comply with your CCA request. They pulled this one on me (well, on my friend, who's debts I am dealing with on her behalf). They think they can apply the same rules as a SAR to the CCA.

 

If you DO get a letter like this, I have a brilliant template you could use, given to me by a fellow Cagger. I will post it below.

If I have been helpful in any way, please tip my scales :lol:

Full credit for this goes to fellow CAG user ODC:

 

Dear Ms Swallow

 

Thank you for your rather silly letter. You are in fact mistaken in your misguided response to my CCA request. As a Credit Professional :rolleyes:belonging to a company who are members of the CSA:grin: I would have thought that you would be au fait with current legislation. You are sadly mistaken in you opinion that you have more than 12 working days to comply with my legal request and I suggest you contact a solicitor for Legal advice (I would not recommend your in house team of Hampton Legal).

 

On this occasion I will put your response down to mere stupidity rather than a deliberate attempt to deceive which as you know would be a clear breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, The CSA Code as well as the OFT Guidelines on the Collection of Debt.

 

Actually I think I will report the matter to the OFT as it would appear the lack of knowledge the Consumer Credit Act would indicate perhaps that the Lowell Group are not fit to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

 

You cannot pretend that you were not aware of the change in Legislation as it has been pointed out to you numerous times by members of the Consumer Action Group.

 

Infact I dont even know why you bothered sending you silly letter to me when you know as well as I do that Capital One will be unable to produce anything remotely resembling a properly executed CCA Agreement.

 

So why waste my time and yours by pretending otherwise.

 

 

yours etc

 

I ammended it ever so slightly, and it was sent the other day. I can't wait to see how they reply :D

If I have been helpful in any way, please tip my scales :lol:

I was thinking of maybe sending a jiffy bag of dog s**t to Cornell's home address with a note "as you send crap to my home ..."

 

I think I read somewhere a hedge fund invested in these maggots. Maybe sending protest letters to the directors home address might cause them some hurt.

ok, new letter recieved.

 

Following your recent request to be provided with a copy of the original credit agreement in respect of the Consumer yadda yadda I can confirm our client 1st Credit has requested that your credit agreement be retrieved from archive.

 

Once your agreement is retrieved you will be required to repay in full. If deemed necessary, we may initiate legal proceedings which could increase yadda yadda.

 

Is this another BS letter i should respond to somehow?!!
