      Lowell/Overdales Claimform - old Cap1 Debt

      By dx100uk · Posted

      don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx

      small accident, what to do?

      By puma85 · Posted

      Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?

      Backdoor CCJ for Shortfall of Car Finance from VWFS (Audi Financial Services) - Set Aside but lost later hearing - 2018 diesel scrappage scheme help needed - want to appeal

      By Unknown2024 · Posted

      So this is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police

      Yup, it isn't a criminal case, it's hard to prove, but take a detailed look at my thread to see how many holes there are in what they have sent me, there is a picture building.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Like I said previously, good luck to people in trying to find an ISP who wont cough up when ordered.

 

That doesn't make sense. The date of infringement has been given as when he was with Talk Talk. Looks like your foot stomping has come to nothing and you're still with an ISP who coughs. Whatcha gonna do now?

 

Looks like at some point Talk Talk coughed. They might have stopped coughing now but it appears they have history.

 

:roll:

 

I'm wondering what interest you have in this. You have a very odd attitude. You also apparently seem to think you have all of the facts. You don't and your insistence on proving an erroneous point in the face of clear statements and evidence to the contrary is tiring.

 

The key facts here will be the date of the NPO and the internal processes followed during the takeover.

 

As I have said several times now, ACS and TBI send letters to ISPs asking them not to challenge the forthocming NPO. TalkTalk respond to this letter with a negative. If the previous ISP already said they wouldn't challenge the NPO, then TalkTalk *would* be in contempt of court. They'd have no choice but to follow through.

 

Also, you have no idea how long the existing ISPs legal team were in place after the changeover. You have no idea of the internal policy being followed over this sort of thing. It is hardly mind bending to imagine that they'd keep them the same until they had a look around the business and would see how best to change things gradually so the existing staff are all up to speed.

 

When a company buys another company it is *very* unusual for every single minutiae of policy to change instantly. Especially when they're the size of Tiscali / TalkTalk. Stop pretending it isn't.

 

Furthermore, the point isn't whether they *have* rolled over or not (we know they have, and they openly admit they did) but whether they *will* in the future. They have not rolled over for any recent orders and have publicly stated that they will not in the future. By all means be sceptical - and if they do roll over then be outraged. In the mean time, stop being so indefensibly obtuse about it.

How was it? - I have recorded it but have yet to watch it.

 

Hardly worth bothering with tbh. The letters were briefly touched on but very little mention of the process of these letters.

 

I was impressed with the guy from Talk Talk though.

Yeah..TT was good, and |I thought that it may be a good selling point for them in the future, they arnt going to roll over and hand out your details to any tom dick and harry..(or andrew !).

 

The 'tech guy' bit was crap, he did nothing techinical apart from look and see what films people had on their PC's and his wifi hacking bit was not realistic !

 

I had to laugh when Scooter popped up, we all knew what was coming next but I noticed they blurred out the name on the letter (ACS Law ?).

That was a bit bizarre...

 

I know Davenport Lyons (and particularly ACS law) can be a bit quick to jump to threats of legal action but it's not as if DL haven't been featured on the Beeb, and ACS don't actually send out the letters.

 

Very odd.

Slightly ambiguously worded article from the BBC there. It's been passed by the lords but the commons are yet to have heir bite of the apple. Progress of the bill can be tracked here: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2009-10/digitaleconomy.html A date doesn't appear to have been set for it's commons debut.

 

Having said that a lot of people seem determined to push this lot through before the election. There is a real danger that the debate will be severely limited and there will instead be discussions between a select few frontenchers. There is advice on the Slyck thread (google it) about this topic with a list of who you need to write to to outline your views.

"But despite criticism, the government said it was still committed to giving courts the power to block websites which are infringing copyright."

 

EErr..How..?. They are nearly not based in the UK ..or are we gonnma end up with net police like in China.

 

Heres my prediction, in a few years time the internet will be totally screwed up and unusable, you won't be able to access any illegal downloads, any copyrighted material, anything pornographic or viewed offensive, websites will be like papers..gagged at every turn, no stories about footballers and their affairs, no stories like MP's expenses, we will end up with a totally sanitized controlled internet, controlled and manipulated by the party in power,...you read it here first...

 

That is the way its heading !

Hi there,

 

Few days ago I have received a letter in the post from ACS law accusing me of download pornography movie on 27/07/09 via BitTorrent/Emule. They acting for Media CAT.

 

In the letter they have recorded "my" IP address and have requested £495 in payment in 21 days. They state if I do not pay I face legal and court action. The letter looks like a photocopy including the court order for the IP address.

I have phoned my provider O2 and they said that they have not received anything from ACS LAW regarding my IP address and request for my details.

 

Please can someone advise me on the best thing to do?

 

Many Thanks

 

Andy.

In all seriousness, this thread is supposed to be about ACS:Law and associated matters.

 

If I were new to CAG and wanted information to help me, I think I might be put off by the number of posts which are general chit chat.

 

Perhaps someone who knows what the current situation is with this, can add a post to summarise where we are.

 

Then if people can resist the temptation to add any posts, until there is NEW information.

 

Constantly adding posts and having a separate folder for ACS:Law is giving these monkeys publicity they do not deserve.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes it is about ACS Law but to get ACS stoped we need some one in power what will actually listen to the general public and stop this, it seams to me that the powers 2B only listen to people with big fat bank accounts.

Let's be crystal clear here, this is not about ACS Law.

 

Remove them and you will find another law firm to take their place like what happened with Davenport Lyons. Don't forget we now also have TBI.

 

But, these law firms are only the messengers. Regardless of the strokes they pull, without a company behind them supplying the "evidence" and a Customer signing away on the dotted line to go after the golden goose, ACS and Co wouldn't have any bullets to fire.

 

What needs to be addressed is the whole process of this new form of ambulance chasing.

 

ACS are only one link in the whole process that stinks to high heaven...

Send a single letter of denial, then ignore everything else that they send in reply. If they do send court papers we will give you loads of help to defend, but so far they have not taken anyone to court who has sent an LoD, and it's highly unlikly that they ever will IMO.
