    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Account In Dispute

 

 

 

Dear Cretin

On Xyz Your Company Contacted My With Reference To An Alleged Debt.

On Xyz I Contacted Direct Legal And Collections With A Request For A Copy Of The Alleged Agreement With The One Pound Fee Sent Recorded Delivery.

On Xyz You Sent Me What You Reported To Be The Consumer Credit Agreement (copy Enclosed)

As You Can No Doubt See That This Alleged Agreement Falls Short Of What Is Required.

The Agreement Must Be Legible. Until You Provide A Legible Agreement, This Account Remains In Dispute.

If You Are Of The Opinion That This Is Not The Case, Then I Will Have No Alternative To Escalate The Matter To The Office Of Fair Trading, Trading Standards, And The Financial Ombudsman Service.

I Also Require From Direct Legal And Collections A Copy Of The Notice Of Assignment, A Copy Of The Default Notice, And A Full Statement Of Account.

If You Are Of The Opinion That You Are Not The Creditor, Then I Will Have No Option But To Cease All Contact With Your Company.

Being That You Have No Legal Authority To Request Payment.

If You Maintain That You Are In fact The Creditor With Full Rights And Duties, I Expect You To Supply All The Documentation Requested And Not For Myself To Contact The Alleged Original Creditor.

This Account As Stated Is Now In Official Dispute And As Such Unenforceable In Law Until Compliance. I Expect All Collection Activity, Including Demands For Payment By Letter Or Telephone To Cease Forthwith.

Failing This Will Be An Offence Under The Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations And Will Be Reported To The Authorities.

I Require A Response To This Letter With In Fourteen Days Of Receipt With Your Intentions To Resolve This Dispute.

I Would Appreciate Your Diligence In This Matter,

I Look Forward To Hearing From You In Writing

Yours Faithfully

Just to add here, I have the same issue with DLC, and they started by sending me the 'we've requested said information from the creditor and will get back to you as and when...and suspended the account. That was 5 months ago, they sent me a similar letter every 3 weeks for a while and now that has stopped.

 

In regards to the entry on my credit file, it was duplicated by both the lender and Hillsden, I wrote to the CRA with a view to having the entries removed, the original creditor was contacted by the CRA and they stated that their entry could remain on file. Hillsden stated that they updated their files monthly and that the entry was to stay. Now that the account is suspended I have a mind to write to both the cra and Hillsden with a view to the file being removed.

 

If it's suspended they should not be 'processing' my data ?

well the debt exists but the dca cant enforce

 

tell dlc/hillesden to foxtrot Oscar

 

the arrangement fee has been included in the amount of credit, not the total amount of credit so you are paying interest on it

 

it needs to be kept separate as its a charge for credit

 

this is a no no

Is there reference to that online somewhere? I ask because in the case of a mortgage they can add the arragnement fee to the mortgage, why would an arrangement fee for loan under a different name (other than mortgage )be any different?

I've gone all dizzy now, an interesting read if you can work through the babble but that was 2003, and given that mortgage deals are currently offering the 'arrangement fee' inclusive of the sum lent then it may be that the law has since been updated or a case precedent set?

 

Either that or all the mortgages with these arrangement fees contained with in them are unenforceable?

 

Thanks for that though, I've saved that link.

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEBT TO YOU OR ANY OTHER COMPANY,

 

 

 

DEAR SIR/MADAM

 

FURTHER TO MY LETTER SENT TO YOU ON XYZ (COPY ENCLOSED) BY RECORDED DELIVERY

 

I MUST INFORM YOU THAT AFTER HAVING AN AUDIT DONE ON THE CREDIT AGREEMENT SENT TO MYSELF BY DLC, I MUST INFORM YOU THAT THE ALLEGED AGREEMENT IS IN FACT UNENFORCEABLE IN LAW FOR THE REASONS STATED.

 

THE RELEVANT CASE JUDGEMENT IS WILSON V FIRST COUNTY TRUST.

 

I CAN SUPPLY THE JUDGEMENT IF REQUIRED BUT A QUICK GOGGLE WILL GIVE YOU INSTANT RESULTS.

 

THAT CASE, AS WELL AS THIS AGREEMENT DEALS WITH APPLICATION/ARRANGEMENT FEES, BE IT THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT WAS MISSTATED.

 

THE AGREEMENT YOU SENT MYSELF CLEARLY STATES ARRANGEMENT FEE OF £100 ADDED TO THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT, THUS PAYING INTEREST ON THE ACCEPTANCE FEE.

 

THIS FEE IN FACT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CREDIT WHICH THIS AGREEMENT SEEMS TO BE LACKING, IN FACT IT IS LACKING A HEADING AMOUNT OF CREDIT WHICH IN ITS SELF IS A PRESCRIBED TERM.

THAT ON ITS OWN, A COURT IS PROHIBITED FROM DOING AN ENFORCEMENT ORDER LET ALONE THE WILSON JUDGEMENT.

 

I REQUIRE A FINAL RESPONSE TO THIS MATTER FROM YOU AND THAT THIS ACCOUNT WILL NOW BE CLOSED AND RETURNED BACK TO YOUR CLIENT.

NOW THAT I HAVE INFORMED YOU ON THIS MATTER, ANY FUTURE THREATS OF COLLECTION AND COURT ACTION WILL BE REPORTED TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES AS WELL AS A COURT IF REQUIRED.

 

I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE

 

YOURS FAITHFULLY .

 

SEND RECORDED DELIVERY

  • 2 weeks later...

Argh! I had a letter today from Hillesden. Enclosed was an enlarged copy of the agreement I posted and a letter stating:

 

Thankyou for your letters dated November 2 and 4. (Referring to the request for info and the second letter regarding the charges)

Hillesden Securities Ltd are happy to rely on the enclosed documents in any future proceedings in relation to the construction of the agreement and legibility of the documents.

 

Please take this as our final reponse on this matter.

 

What do I do now?
