[elizabeth1]

WELL DONE !!!

 

Always nice to see Cabots get a spanking

[Baggio]

marvellous

 

oh how i would have loved to see the look on the ugly cabot barristers face

 

priceless no doubt

 

great victory

 

and to all the banks/dca's et al reading this

 

give it up or face more rulings and egg on face against you

 

you know you cannot defeat the law.. so why bother?

[andrew1]

Brilliant Herbie well done...

 

 

Just goes to show our Ken Maynard - (Chief exec of Cabot for those who haven't had the pleasure) - Do as you are told!!....get the agreements right, abide by the law and you'll STOP MAKING THOSE £18 Million Swing Losses year on year :D

 

 

There's plenty more Herbies where he came from and they are being lined up for you....

 

with love

What a good result - isn't it lovely when their (barrister) legal bods get made to look like silly little schoolboys disagreeing over a playground squabble.... Congratulations and hope you don't have too much of a hangover from last night!

[B3rty]

Great news...was the judge CCA savvy or did you have to present case law around the PT being with in the four corners of the agreement or was the judge aware of this?

He was up on this CCA lark a Young Judge for a change, very professional,helpful had plenty of patience, as you would expect a Judge to be, The Cabot side were gutted big time .

Only now is it sinking in how much we have saved by winning, with costs and they would have loaded them we were looking at £13000 in total.

Maybe the Cabot barrister was on a no win no fee lol

[angry cat]

Brilliant!

Great to see another win. Congratulations.

Just read the whole thread. I always add the 'won' cases to my subscribed threads to remind me why I should carry on fighting.

It would probably be useful to see how you presented your defence in the end if possible, as I believe it went from fairly basic to quite complicated and back to quite straightforward again!

I'm sure this would be of use to others.

Congratulations herbie

Well done Herbie - welcome to the CFC (Cabot Fan Club). Message to Cabot and silly Morgans - don't bring cases that you don't have the correct papers for through the courts. It's vexatious and bullying and your feeble attempts at attempting to frighten the consumer just aren't working any more.

Sorry if you don't have any extra cash for your fancy swimming pool or a new Aston Martin but your profits are sinking like the Titantic and all the fancy barristers in the world can't turn a dodgy, unlawful actions into a winner.

 

Herbie it would be worthwhile sending a letter of complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority about Piers Morgan and Glenn Crawford. Both solicitors - Morgan just joined Cabot to head up Morgan's solicitors and Crawford is one of the founders and directors of this unsavoury operation. BTW if you do complain the name of the solcitors company is not Morgans but Cabot Financial - check with the Law Society.

[andrew1]

Hi ya Rhia - you missed all the fun!

[Rhia]

I sure did Andrew...,you go away for a while (due to poorly mummy) and all hell breaks out.

 

I love it though even though I wasn't in on the kill. CFC Rules!

[Demonbarb]

Sorry for my ignorance but who are Cabot and what do they do?

[andrew1]

You gotta be kiddin?

[Demonbarb]

You gotta be kiddin?

No Andrew actually I am not. I have been a member on here for a while and there are a lot of companies referred to by nicknames and the use of abbreviations for things is commonplace eg "DN" default notice, someone coming on here for the first time may well not understand a lot of the things on here. I genuinly have never heard of Cabot or know what they do but I will google it anyway.

[Demonbarb]

Debt collectors then, fancy website talking about "customer relationships" etc. I suspect they are a bunch of bully boys then similiar to Mercers etc.?

[car2403]

I think anyone who has dealing with Cabot will know who (and what) they are, DB. If you haven't, then probably not.

 

I haven't, neither, (well, not yet, anyway ) and I was as in the dark as you were until I started reading threads relating to them.

 

I agree with the abbreviations. It can get confusing. I certainly try to avoid them, or, at least, make sure they are referenced in full someone in my posts, or the posts that come before them. If you don't, you just get questions about what they mean anyway.

 

Maybe a list of generic abbreviations is in order? Unless it already exists and I've struggled on all this time without knowing

[andrew1]

My apologies then DB, we've had so many thousands on here who have experienced the rough end of the debt collectors and the shennanigans of this company that I tend to take it for granted everyone would know on CAG who they are.

 

The difference between Debt Collection agencies and Cabot is that Cabot, like 1st Credit and a number of others are what they refer to as 'Debt Purchasers'. cabot are part of the Citi Financial empire now and they go and buy debt from the major card companies and banks for on average between 8 and 12p in the £ (although that's rising) then come after the likes of us for the full outstanding balance + interest and they use ' questionable' tactics to achieve their aim. Thanks to the synergy of this forum and the efforts of Caggers and of a number of others like we began in the Cabot Fan Club, Cabot have gone from making nearly £10 million profits in 2006/2007 to a loss of £6.7 million once we all started making them abide by the law. Shows what consumer pressure can drum up and the effect it has on these organisations and a swing in profit/loss of some 17-18 million is not to be sneezed at as a success rate.

 

If you have an hour I could go on, but there's plenty to familiarise yourself with if you want to know more on the forum...Just Google it or search...

Well Done Herbie!!!!

No problem Andrew and thanks for the information. I am currently going through the process of getting a number of cards dealt with and only Barclaycard (Mercers) and Egg (Capital Collections) have given me real grief so far but nothing I can't handle. From my limited experience of this Mercers appear to be a bunch of **EDITED**, **EDITED** **EDITED** and if Cabot are anything like I am glad they are suffering, well done everyone!
