    • oh well i wonder what new fake documents they have made up then...for them to try this.... just to check nothing funky like Link have filed an n244 to lift the stay and strike out her defence....she hasnt moved since last court comms has she?   is this an n24? bit unusual for a 13mts stay to just be lifted... has she not received anything from link/kearns in the last fw weeks like a docs bundle? bit like this thread... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/466576-lc-assetlinkkearns-claim-form-2-mbna-cc/?do=findComment&comment=5256397  
    • if the agreement was taken out jan 23, then she has not reached the 1/3rd mark so the car has not become protected goods under the consumer credit act.  this puts her in a very very vulnerable position regarding ever keeping the car....whereby once they have issued a default notice they can legally send a guy with a flatbed (though they are NOT BAILIFFS and have ZERO legal powers) to collect the car.  if the car is kept on the public highway then they can simply take it away and she will legally owe the whole stated amount on the agreement AND lose the car. if it's on private property i'e like a driveway, ok they shouldn't take it without her agreeing, but if they do, it's not really on but its better than a court case and an inevitable loss with the granting a return of goods order. are these 'health reasons' likely to resolve themselves in the very short term (like a couple of months?) and can she immediately begin working again ? i'e has she got a job or would have to find one?  answer the above and we'll try and help. but she looks to be between rock and a hard place . whatever happens she will still have to pay the loan off...car or no car....unless you can appeal to the finance company's better nature using health reasons to back off for xxx months.
    • no need to use it. it doubles the size of the thread and makes it very diff to find replies on small screens too. just like @username it - sends unnecessary alerts to people. everyone that's posted on your thread already inc you ...gets an automatic email alert when someone else posts.
    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • 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.

Anybody care to share with a newbie??? Not sure I understand what "settled" means in this context or why RW can open a new file for an account that the OC marked as settled!

 

Experian Settled Accounts

 

A settled account is one which you have made all the repayments to and which has been closed.Experian keep records of settled accounts for 6 years from the date they were settled. The status code shown on your credit report against a settled account refers to the period before the account was settled.

 

Defaulted Accounts

 

An account in default is one were you have not been able to keep to the terms of a credit agreement. Experian keep keep a record of these accounts for 6 years from the date the lender decided you have broken the terms of your agreement (the defaulted date). The lender should have told you that the account was to be classed as being in default.

 

Making payments to a defaulted account after the default date does not change the history of the account, even once you have made all the payments. The satus history shows that, at the defaulted date, you were not keeping to the agreed terms.

 

The details about the account will show how much money you owed when the agreement was broken and how much money you owe now. It will reflect any payments you have made to the organisation since the agreement was broken. When the account is paid in full, the information will be updated to show "Balance Satisfied".

 

I can't really understand why they are attempting to re-open an account which has been declared "settled". IMO they can't full stop.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Regards.

Thanks Cerebus. Got a screen cap & hard copy of the Experian report.

 

So am i right in thinking that Robinson Way have b@llsed up here by putting a new entry on file for an account the OC had marked settled?

 

As far as i know, they can only do this if the debt has been bought. The old account will have been closed and a new active account will show the name of the lender who has bought the debt. They have no right to log more details regarding the account if the OC has logged it as being settled unless they are the new owner of the debt.

 

Best of luck

 

Regards.

Hi,

 

Personally i would take the advice of cerberusalert as he knows his stuff.

 

Also it maybe beneficial if you contact the Information Commissioners Office by phone and explain to them what the situation is, they will be able to advise you further;)

Just got off phone with ICO & their view is that once an account is settled, its settled. If the debt was sold, this could be a "mistake"! Yeah & I'm the Easter Bunny. Complaint to ICO & OFT off today & suggested letter to Rob Way.

 

Thanks guys! :)

 

This is the problem with CRA's. Experian work with their own members (CAIS) which i explained above, however if the debt has been passed on to a none member of their "information sharing scheme", the debt may show as "debt assigned" which in effect means that the lender has reported that they sold a debt to an organisation which is not part of their information sharing scheme. They will keep the record in the original lenders name and show it as "closed".

 

CRA's are just as bad as DCA's..

 

Regards.
