    • Any update here?  I ask as we have others now taking on CPM.
    • I am sorry about getting your status mixed up.  I have noticed one thing in your excellent WS. On their claim they are only pursuing you as the keeper-I think it is  in their Point C that  states along the lines of -the driver did not pay , so the keeper is liable. So on your No keeper Liability section  You may prefer  to alter 13 to    . It is trite Law that the driver and the keeper cannot be regarded  as the same person and the claimant has failed to offer any proof who was driving.  BY  only pursuing the keeper  when the PCN does not comply with PoFA must mean that their claim fails. See what the Site team thinks as it should  stop the Judge from looking at who was driving as your statement preempts them from even thinking about it.
    • What would suffice as proof? I just emailed them back my date of birth. Should I send a copy of driving licence? 
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton   MCOL Northampton N1 ? Manual Claim CCMCC (Salford) ? New beta WWW.MONEYCLAIMS.SERVICE.GOV.UK ?   If possible please scan redact and upload a full page copy of page 1 of the claim form.   This has been uploaded in my previous messages in the bundle of documents     Name of the Claimant ? Asset Link Capital (NO5) Limited   How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to./   14/02/2020   ^^^^^ NOTE : WHEN CALCULATING THE TIMELINE - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE DATE ON THE CLAIMFORM IS ONE IN THE COUNT [example: Issue date 01.03.2014 + 19 days (5 days for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = 19.03.2014 + 14 days to submit defence = 02.04.2014] = 33 days in total Not relevant as his claim was set aside, and has now been brought to the court again by the claimant       Particulars of Claim   What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? Please see bundle of documents in previous thread   What is the total value of the claim? £10,734.1    Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  Yes - this is one of the grounds for getting it set aside   Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card   When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ?  Apparently 2000   Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? I do not recall entering into an agreement with Barclays   Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?  It was, but it is not anymore   Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Assigned to Asset Link   Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No - although they have provided a copy of the assignment notice in their bundle of docs for the hearing   Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I don't remember - but again a copy of a letter has been provided (see bundle on previous thread)   Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No    Why did you cease payments?  2015   What was the date of your last payment? December 2015   Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved?  I wrote to Barclaycard back in 2015 to ask them to send proof of the original agreement but they just sent me a reconstituted document which had no personal deals on relating to me   Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? yes - step change took control and set up payments of £1 pm

    • 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 there, try not to worry too much - there is always something we can do to help, and you are a very long way away from losing your home.

 

Are you able to make payment (however small) towards the arrears each month in addition to the normal monthly payment?

 

You need to write to GE making your offer of payment and enclosing a budget sheet - I have affixed one to this post for you to complete. Remember when filling it in that the amount you are offering towards the arrears is the amount left over after everything else has been accounted for.

 

The government guidelines for lenders stipulates that court action should be the last resort and that they should consider all options to help, including capitalising the arrears to the end of the mortgage term, and you need to remind them of that in your letter. If you need help with the letter let me know and I'll happily draft one for you.

 

Is your mortgage repayment or interest only?

Hi there,

 

Are you able to recommence payments on both the mortgage and secured loan now you are back at work? If so can you afford a small amount towards the arrears each month on top of the normal payment on the seucred loan?

 

You can ask the Cheltenham & Gloucester to capitalise your arrears and see what they say, I'll draft a letter for that also.

Hi there, if a lender sends your account to their litigation dept you will get a letter from that dept telling you that you need to pay the arrears or they will start court proceedings (usually give you 7 - 14 days to respond). However, don't panic! - things don't happen overnight! it can take 4 - 8 weeks before you even get a court date.

 

You should send the letters to both of them to try and come to an arrangement before any proceedings are started.

i didnt expect that i thought when the litagation team had the account they tried to come to some agreement with you then if not it would go to court . do you know what the ge money litagation team do

I don't know how every different litigation team work, but in the main they are the same i.e. they are the last step before court proceedings. They probably will try to come to an arrangement but it might be more than you are able to pay - best to get in first with a letter of offer.

 

If it does go to court you can then prove to the judge that you have tried to come to an arrangement.

 

Let me know if you need help with letters.

Usually when accounts become over 2 or 3 months in arrears the lender will send to their litigation (legal) department, they will prepare the case for possession proceedings. It's unlikely mortgage or secured loan lenders will have a pre-litigation department. As soon as you are in arrears you are effectively in a pre-litigation situation. If the arrears continue the next step is possession proceedings, unless of course you come to an arrangement to pay the arrears either in full or by agreed installments.

do you think i should speak to ge money and my mortage company to find out about litagation?

If your lender is sending your account to their legal department then the only way to avoid a court hearing is to make an offer to pay the arrears by installments on top of the normal monthly payment.

 

Do Not do this over the phone as you will never be able to prove you have made an offer. It should always be done in writing. I can help you with the correct wording for the letter.

 

You should ask C&G to capitalise the arrears and offer GE increased installments.

 

If they do take you to court you will have to attend a hearing with a judge and the lender's solicitor. You will need to prove to the judge that you are able to make payments towards the arrears in order to stop the lender gaining possession of your property. If the judge accepts your offer of payment then he will suspend the possession.

 

Suspended possession means that if you miss even one payment under the court order the lender can apply for an eviction warrant giving only around 14 days to leave the property. Although this can also be defended by asking for a hearing before a judge, you really don't want to get into that situation.

 

Hopefully now you can see why it is so important to write to the lender with an offer of payment before it gets too far down the litigation route.

Gemmie -

 

I know its an awful situation to be in - but try not to worry too much:)

 

((Hi Ell-enn, I hope you're well xxxx))

 

Ell-enn will keep you on the right track with her fantastic advice (She helped me out when a friend of mine had trouble with GE Money too.).

 

I've been to court with that friend twice now!! She was successful the first time - the judge ordered a "suspensed possession order" which means provided you keep up the repayments as agreed at the hearing then they cannot take your home from you.

 

Unfortunately, she was unable to keep up the payments and was sent an eviction notice, which again she went to defend - and won!! She's still in her home making her payments and a little towards the arrears (which she can afford). There's another plus side, GE money can't keep hassling her now the court order is in place.

 

What I'm saying is you're a long way from losing your home.

 

If it gets to the stage where you're going to court and you need any advice about what goes on in the court room just shout (its nothing like on tv - honestly :) - and the Judges (from my limited experience) are lovely and they will be on your side!!

 

My friend said something in the court room about GE money not keeping her advised on something and the Judge replied "I can very well believe that" and glared at the GE Rep. The Judges know what they can be like.

 

Stay positive, keep posting on the site and you'll get there!!

 

Best wishes.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

Hi Gemmie, you need to fill in the budget sheet to work out how much you can pay GE towards the arrears each month in addition to the normal monthly payment.

 

I will post the letters on here shortly.

Hi Gemmie, affixed are the letters for C & G and GE Money. You need to send the letters and enclose the budget sheet.

 

On the GE budget sheet you need to show the amount you are offering to pay towards the arrears in addition to the normal monthly payment as being the amount left over after everything else has been accounted for.

 

On the C & G budget sheet you need to ensure that there is no extra left over i.e. add the amount you are paying towards the GE arrears into the GE normal monthly payment.

 

Send both letters by recorded delivery, keep copies of the letters and budget sheets and also the receipt for posting. Check on the Royalmail website in a few days to print of the signature receipts. Keep everything together safe in a file.

Hi Gemmie, they may want £180 per month but if you can't afford it they simply can't get it! If they take you to court the judge will only order you to pay what you can afford and provided you show that you can make the payments you will not lose your home.

 

Have you been making the payments you offered them?

 

Also in the total arrears figure have they added arrears charges into it? Do you have a statement showing the arrears and charges? If not you need to write and ask for one (by recorded delivery).
