    • Need to get your DQ in - it's your opportunity to have a say in what happens next! It should then transfer to local court, who will look at the DQs and determine next actions. Fairly self-explanatory and there are guidance notes on the site here. My Asset/Link/Kearns case was reviewed a couple of weeks ago after transferring to local court and they have been ordered to provide a new CPR-compliant Particulars of Claim, Original Agreement, Deed of Assignment and Notice of Assignment. They have six weeks to comply or it's struck out. As with your case they are relying on a generic print out of an agreement with no personal details or signature. Don't give the courts a chance to make any decisions without your input and get that N180/N181 in! Your call as to whether you want mediation - given the lack of evidence from them there is probably no point as you can't mediate an account that appears not to exist.
    • FYI I've had a copy from Kearns arrive today of the DQ from the claimant agreeing to referral to the Small Claims Mediation Service and without a hearing. I am a bit wary of the two replies above from you both. Which is the most relevant and most urgent to action? I'm away from Sunday the 19th to Wednesday 22nd working abroad and am conscious there's a bank holiday the day before the deadline so it doesn't give me much time to collate and post relevant paperwork either to you or the parties involved. Do I just fill in the N180 and post?  Apologies for my ignorance, It's out of my comfort zone! Also my case seems to be over the £10k barrier?  
    • Hello,  Me again, back with more questions from my friend because she doesn't want to deal with this part of her life.  She has managed to set up a repayment plan with 247money for the next 3 months.  We have looked at her car finance and she would have reached the 50% payment in Aug 2025  She has 2 questions.  When it comes to Aug 2025 what are her options for VT, I've read a few things and honestly the car sites all seem to give information in different wording so it's hard the grasp the core facts.  If she were to just stop paying the car now, obviously they would action repossession but what is the after math, money outstanding, impact on credit file, court action.  Thank you, 
    • Resolve call have one of my ancient, ancient debts that went statute barred in 2020, I've had a couple of door visits, first one just left a card, second one I spoke to, i told her how old the debt was and she rolled her eyes, and apologised pretty sincerely I thought. Not heard anything from them since.

    • 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.

That is the minimum legal in this country once all of a persons outgoings are taken into account etc...;)

 

Isn't that the "how" it's £1 a month and not the "why", though?

 

I mean, we don't know anything about this court claim, or the circumstances of any of the parties that have been told to pay costs, so why do you think they will be paying £1 a month?

 

I can't see that we have sufficient information to make those judgments, nor do I see that information being helpful, as a Judge will decide how much should be paid and when. To apply a rule of "you'll only be paying £1 a month" to anything, then, is a little reckless, no?

Not reckless at all, £1 per month is the miniumum legal in this country once all outgoings are catered for & if there near enough nothing left over afterwards.

Of course, not all will repay that amount (depends on circumstances of course) - but lots can & will, if need be, based on the above.

I couldn't disagree more.

 

Firstly, if there is no income left after essential expenditure, any Judgment for payment would be suspended until an income is achieved - as a result, there is no "minimum legal", as you say.

 

Secondly, the Court will only order £1 a month to be paid, if that is the amount of disposable income left after that essential expenditure. There are probably very few people who are paying £1 a month, then, unless it fits there personal circumstances.

 

I think you need to be very careful when posting "they will only have to be paying £1 a month", then, Mr.Ton, as it's clear that there is a lot more to that than meets the eye from your posts.

 

I'm hoping you agree, going forward, but I've put my opinion across as have you, so we'll let the educated folk reading this make up their own minds as to what to do, and rather they should really be thinking about £1 a month at all or concentrating on denying ACS's allegations completely - meaning that they don't pay a penny until ordered to by a Court after a fair and just hearing.

Yes of course it depends on individual circumstances.

But with respect you are wrong Car - there is a "minuimum legal" in this country of £1 per month.

You are correct in that if there is nothing left over then a suspended judgement will be made.

Oh & just for the record..this is exactly what i said

"Yes..i would imagine they are still repaying it all now at a rate of £1 per month"

Nowhere there does it say "they will only have to be" as you accused me of saying ;)

once you check the recorded delivery it says there was a delay as we had to redirect your mail. plus if it was his real address i think he may get a visit from the big people that do illegal things. but dont forget if you wanna see what he looks like hes on facebook!!

It would of been DL taking someone to court, not the other way round and the losing side would have paid the costs surely ?

 

I was right have had it confirmed on another forum, someone did take DL to court over the matter has they were fed up with it all. They would have got the costs back eventually, but he still had to pay out to get the matter to court in the first place, even though there was a very, very, very small risk that he could have lost.

I think we should all get our heads together (like a case in germany) and start a fund then seek a good top solicitor and bring this clown to court. I just carnt understand how he gets away with it, do yous think Peter m******n has took another brown envalope? and give him permission to get info from the ISP :evil::mad:

It really is all going very badly wrong for ACS Law.

The suprising thing is that they thought they could get away with it all in the 1st place.

I think they will be held up in future as an example to anyone in how not to conduct large scale operations like this.

I'm guessing the silence on the forum means no news to report? I haven't received anything since my solicitor told me to send one last LOD, but it could just be the postal strike...
Well my news is that a certain well known consumer mag has been in touch with me today and it looks like they are gathering evidence - I've offered them any thing they need personally.

 

My next LOD will be going out soon enough but quite frankly I be grudge having to a) type it out b) pay for a stamp when they clearly CBA reading what I have sent or responding to my comments.... the photo copyer must be wearing out by now :grin:

The main difference is that by copying a TV program onto your video recorder/DVD/Sky+ etc there is no loss to anyone, but by making available (this is ACS arguement remember, not individual downloading)music/software, there is finicial loss as the individuals who downloaded the items didnt go and purchase them.

 

It is also possible for any TV program to have the no-record flag switched on, this will leave Sky+/Cable Boxes/Tivo/PC recorders unable to record that certain program, this hasn't been used much at present but the potential is there.

 

Certainly the copyright/copying law is a mess, VHS recorders were meant to bring about the collapse of the film industry and who remembers the old Home taping is killing music logos ?

 

The whole situation needs a good look at and not by cluesless muppets like Mandy !

Well he hasn't yet but in their death throws Labour will probably get yet another stupid law on the books!

 

Like many of their efforts, it could well come unstuck at the first legal challenge.

 

Remember the recycle bin laws - which collapsed after it was pointed out that anyone could put something in a bin when it's left outside.

 

Or how about the fiasco of the dangerous dogs act?

What amazes me is that with the push of Mandleson's law, people are tying in what ACS are doing to us. As much as I think his law sucks, at least if you get a warning and you're not asked to fork out hundreds of pounds or threatened with court action. What ACS are doing should not be disguised by this. If they suspect a user, then they should send a warning. Stupid techno-phobic MPs and the like will confuse what they think is the right thing to do with piracy with ACS's money making scheme.
