    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

This is on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law, who is diabetic and finds it difficult to walk. She lives with her elderly brother, who has mental health issues and is incapable of looking after himself. Both require a regular supply of various drugs for their respective conditions.

 

Last week my mother-in-law left her usual GP's practice (taking her brother with her), as she was fed up with the poor service he has given both her and her brother: he consistently fails to obtain results of blood tests, or loses them, forcing her to retake them, which involves an uncomfortable and difficult trip to the nearest hospital. As her brother cannot be left alone, he has to accompany her. This has happened so many times, she has finally lost patience (no pun intended!).

 

However, when she tried to register with another local GP, she was told that the local boundaries have changed, and that they cannot take her because they no longer take people with her postcode. This is despite the fact that her daughter-in-law who lives at the same address is registered with this GP! She then tried the only other local GP, who refused to take her due to the fact that her son, when he was a wild youth over 10 years ago, once tried to fake an illness and obtain some drugs by deception (This was a one-off occurrence: he's now a responsible adult with his own business).

 

In desperation, my mother-in-law was forced to go back to her original GP and ask to be re-registered, but he has refused to take her back. She is now in the desperate condition of not having any GP at all, and both her and her brother need their medication urgently.

 

Where does she stand? How can the NHS allow two vulnerable people to fall through the net like this? Is it allowed, or is there some law that can force a GP to take her and her brother onto their register?

 

Please, has anyone got any advice?

 

Many thanks.

Yes, we tried that: they told us that once a GP has decided not to "take" you, for whatever reason, that's it, there's nothing they can do... doesn't seem like much of a "service" to me... the only thing they were able to suggest was try some other GP's several miles away and hope one of them would take them on. But as I said, mobility is a problem.

How many surgeries are local to where they live? I would ring round all of them till you find one that will take your mum in law & her brother. Contact your area PCT too, they should be able to allocate you with a GP who can then no refuse to take them. I don't know why GP's play god with patients like this, these are sick and vaunrable people who have health needs that require regular GP visits, and I think it's appauling how they've been treated.

 

I've just left a bad GP and moved to a super new surgery that offer so many fantastic services like phelobotomy (blood tests) so you don't have to travel to the hospital. I found out that they are moving to join forces with a local community hospital to offer yet more services such as x rays & minor surgeries. I was lucky to find them, my last surgery were morons.

 

But yeah, contact your area's PCT as a first point of contact and get the yellow pages out & call every surgery in the area. If she needs drugs in the mean time urgently then you'll have to take her to A&E and explain that you have no GP and this is what has happened, you should be fastracked being as she has no GP. Take with you any bottles or prescription slips she has to make it easier for the doctors there to help.

Hi ya :)

 

I am a Receptionist at a doctors surgery ( a nice one!) If you contact you loal Primary Care Trust - They HAVE to allocate youa doctor within 48 hours.

 

If you cannot see a doctor and you need to (out of hours / no doc etc) you can contact NHS Direct and they will advise you and if you need to be seen they will tell you where to attend.

 

Its normally a place like SEADOC, SPEEDOC they are octors who cover out of surgery hours :)

Hope that helps :)

You need to contact the PCT and take your gloves off. If being nice does not do the trick you could contact the local papers, your MP and Watchdog.

 

Drs and Dentists are not obliged to accept anybody as NHS patients so do be polite but firm.

 

Good luck in your quest.

 

Cheers

Sorry but Dr Teeth you are incorrect. You need to call your local Primary Care Trust and by law they have to allocate you to a surgery in your local area EVEN if the surgery "list" is closed

 

A GP CAN refuse you only if there are specific reasons such as you have been violent in the ast towards a memeber of his/her staff.

 

I can get this in writing if you need just PM me x

I am most definitely not incorrect. There are ways around every rule. been there, done that, got the badge.

 

Anyway, let's assume that you ARE correct. It is MUCH easier for a dentist to make sure a particular patient does not want to see them than with a GP.

Well done for been there, done that , got the badge. It must be nice to be a know it all.

 

I have offered the poster to get it in writing, its up to to them. The post isnt as to whether its easy to see a dentist so your comments are once again, unhelpful and irrelevant.

Humphreil

I wholeheartedly agree. However, how to make it happen? We have a government that throws money at the NHS, wasted, in my opinion on layers of management and administration, to the detriment of the front line staff. And then, we have a government in waiting, who will not enter into a debate on changing the NHS incase it loses them the next election.

yes , the primary care trust has a responsibility to offer you gp services, however if a practice is a traditional GMS practice that particular business has no obligation to take you onto their list.
