    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

I would like to add my experiences of charging orders.

 

I admitted a debt and a CCJ was recorded against me. I always paid what the judge had said I should. The creditor took me to court again for a charging order, I defended it but the judge ruled in the creditors favour and a charging order was placed on my house. At the time I was on benefits, my circumstances hadn't changed and I always paid what I was supposed to.

what was the debt for and how much?

 

It was a credit card debt for 18K.

 

From my own bitter experience I know that charging orders are granted even though the debtor is paying a CCJ

thanks,

 

in normal circumstances the courts will not issue charging orders simply because the creditor asks for them, especially when payments are being kept

 

however, as i suspected the argument s put forward b the creditors would undoubtedly have been to the fact that at 11 per month it would be 60 years before the debt was repaid and the chances quite high 9if not 100%) that before than time you would have disposed of the property!!

 

I'm not siding with them - i was just curious as to why the order would have been granted given that the payments were being made

Hi diddydicky, you are right in your thinking, in my case the creditor did not like the fact that it would have taken 44 years to repay debt at the monthly amount agreed by the Judge at the CCJ hearing ( but I did state that in the not to distant future I would be able to pay in full). At the second hearing the Judge said that nothing had changed and threw the case out but told me that he had granted the creditors wishes on other occasions mostly when not defended.

good evening to all,

 

i have rec'd a response from Link regarding the CCA letter and "because they do not always hold the documentation, they have requested a copy from MBNA." They go on to advise me that this can take up to 30 days.

 

I thought it was 12 +2 days, no extras.

 

Do I now send a dispute letter to confirm my position just in case they try anything else and I am thinking that if i send one, it could be produced later if required.

 

any thoughts or comments greatly appreciated...

i have found this on another thread (thanks to 42man) and was thinking of sending it when their 12+2 days is up, any thoughts anyone?

 

 

Account In Dispute

 

Ref: xxxxxxxxxxx

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Thank you for your letter of xx/xx/xx, the contents of which have been noted.

 

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

 

On **DATE** I made a formal request for a true signed agreement for the alleged account under consumer credit Act 1974 s77/8. A copy of which is enclosed for your perusal and ease of reference.

You have failed to comply with my request, and as such the account entered default on **DATE**.

 

The document that you are obliged to send me is a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company and myself as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments. If the executed agreement contained any reference to any other document, you are also obliged to send me a copy of that document.In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore

 

You are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before your client enters into a default situation.

 

This limit has expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 77(6) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

 

As you have Failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, Failed to send a full statement of the account and Failed to provide any of the documentation requested.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

 

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

 

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you not respond within 14 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY

Action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

 

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

 

* You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

* You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.

* You may not pass the account to a third party.

* You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.

* You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

You have 14 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

If its now over the 14 days I would personally would send the dispute letter that way you are showing them that you know what your talking about. With me they produced an agreement for years before the date they said on the court papers I knew they didn't have anything in writing for the date they claimed.

good morning Diamondgirl

What a nice day it is last day of freedom for me today I've actually managed to get a job - goodbye JSA.

 

Yes I would send the dispute letter the day after as you say and sit back and see what they can produce.

 

MBNA don't seem to have a good record from what I read on the forum and the monkeys are just as bad but a lousy co. to deal with. A weaker person would just give in to them I know how it has affected me.

 

I've not heard from them for a few weeks now so I assume they are trying to plot something. They've probably run out of bananas to throw and dummies to spit out so I suppose they've only got their feet to stamp and go stand in a corner and throw a tamtrum.

 

Have a nice day while the sun is shining.

Well day 2 wasn't that much better. Anyway it's a debt elimination co. so they say. They charge you a percentage of what they get written off for you but you have to go into a DMP with them. They do PPI for you as well if you want to go down that road. Got to be given a talk through about how the debt works - as if I need to be told that. At least it's NOT a DCA. Won't go into it too much just in case they read this site, you never know. It's a job but I'm still looking.

  • 3 weeks later...

Good evening to all,

 

Just a quick update on recent events. CCA time limit ran out a couple of weeks ago so I sent the "account in dispute" letter along with the telephone harrassment letters (they seem to have worked, no more calls at home or in the office).

 

I have now received a letter from them acknowledging my complaint (what complaint?) and that they will contact me within the next 4 weeks.

 

Apart from that all has been quiet.

 

Thank you to everybody for your help and assistance, i'm sure that this is not the end of the matter but at least the phone has stopped ringing.

 

DG, I hope the new job is going well and you are settling in OK.

 

Best regards. . . . . . . . . .
