    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?
    • Ok many thanks. Just wanted to check that nothing else for us to do / send for the moment. Will update again once we receive a copy of their N181 and proposed directions for review. Our post is a bit hit and miss at the moment. Appreciate the help through this process.

    • 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 everyone,

 

I have recently moved in with my girlfriend and starting getting letters from Call Serve Ltd on behalf of Barclays Bank for £2061.03 which was an overdraft which the bank kept hitting me with charges and it went from my original overdraft of £800 to £2061 !!

 

Last night someone with "CSL" on his shirt came to the door and asked for me, which must be CALL SERVE as nobody else knows I live there and its the only mail I get at this address, my girlfriend told him "he's not in at the moment can I take a message" and he "replied its regarding an account" !!

 

What can I do? is he gonna start taking my items????!!!! Can he do that as its not my house and nothing in the house belongs to me??

 

I was going to ring them today and the I did a Google search and ended up here, shall I ring them so he doesn't turn up again tonight??

 

Do I need to deal with him at my door??

 

Should I ring them or not?

 

After reading the many threads I was wondering if I can send them a CCA, but does that work with bank overdrafts/accounts ?

 

Pretty stressed out, pretty scared he was at my door and will probably be back tonight, its embarrasing as well, as my neighbours will hear if he starts discussing it on the street, but don't really want him in the house, soooo stressed out!

 

What can I/shall I do??

 

Please help

 

thanks

Andy

Wooooooo calm down here....chill/deep breath ;)

Firstly Call serve have broken every rule in the book here.

They cannot take any stuff, only a county court bailiff can.

They have to make an appointment with you,which hasnt happened here.

They have no legal rights to any money off you whatsoever, only the county courts do & only after a process has been gone through etc...

Report Callserve to the OFT & trading standards.

Also report them to the police (not 999)

Do not panic, this clown has less rights than the milkman & can simply be told to go away.

Welcome to CAG by the way ;)

welcome to CAG,and turn the panic button off ;)

 

he's working for a DCA-not a county court bailiff.Bailiffs can only be instructed once a CCJ has been registered in your name

 

as the balance of the OD is mostly unlawful charges,you need to send them a letter disputing the account,and then they can't do anything more till it's all sorted out

 

the bank charges case has been to the House of Lords,and the decision will be coming thorough in several weeks,hopefully

 

also,send them a letter teling them you will only correspond in writing,and that you will not permit them to come to your door.If he turns up again,ring the cops and tell them you have a trespasser,and get his name and a photo if you can.....

 

and never ever phone a DCA,or take calls from them

As has already been said, try to calm down. If you can, print this letter off and give it to the monkey if he turns up again (remember to slam the door afterwards ;))

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account Ref xxxx

 

Please be advised that I will only communicate with you in writing.

 

Should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make an appointment with you.

 

There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so, then you will be liable to damages for a tort of trespass and action will be taken, including but not limited to, police attendance.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Report them as advised! They cannot EVER turn up at your door - they haven't even wrote to you, let alone anything else! Believe me though, there is nothing these clowns can do.

 

Your right about the CCA request, it does not apply here. However, you can send for a SAR which costs £10 and will provide you with statements etc., etc. From there, you can total up the charges and look to claim them back. The letters you need are in the template library HERE.

 

You will get all the help you need on CAG :)

Make an official complaint to Barclays as well ;)

I personally would ring Call serve (although we normally advise not to), to state that you find their behaviour totally unnacceptable & that you are not giving them any permission to visit unnanounced like that again & should they fail to obey your order, they will be liable for a tort of trespass which could result in police attendance :)

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick replies I was just about to find the nearest bridge.

 

So what are the next steps I need to do? When you sat dispute the charges thought I can't do that since the account has now been passed to a DCA and when I ring barclays they wont discuss it as it has been passed on?

 

What letter do I need to send the DCA, I have nothing from Credit solutions and only Callserve are they the same?

 

OK so next step is a subject access request, probLEM IS barclays wont discuss the matter with me

 

Huge Thanks

Andy

 

ps. super fast responses I really apprecaite it

You need to send a SAR not CCA - and you send it to Barclays (regardless of what they say):

2. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

3.

4. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

5. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

6. Details of any collection charges added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

7. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

8. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

9. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

10. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement.

 

I enclose the statutory maximum fee of £10. You have 40 days in which to comply.

If there is specific information which you require in order to satisfy yourself as to my identity, please let me know by return.

Yours faithfully,

 

Unless they have sold the debt, it is them that are liable to cough up any charges.

Ok so I will give the guy that turns up the letter after I find out who he's from:

 

CSL = call serve limited ??

CSL = credit solutions ???

 

Then I will send the above letter S.A.R to barclays, but is there a letter template I can send to the DCA so they leave me alone whilst I investigate the charges, or shall I just send a simple letter telling them I am investigating??

 

Thanks

Andy

Letter for DCA

 

Dear Idiot

 

This alledged account is made up purely of default bank charges, which I am in the process of claiming back, as such this account is in default until such time as:

1. Barclaycrap pay me

2. Barclaycrap pay me

or 3 Barclaycrap pay me

 

so until such time any attempts by Barclaycrap or any other firm that the alledge debt may hav been passed/sold to is unlawful

 

I now require your companies official complaints procedure so that I may make an official complaint against you to the relevant authorities.

 

Amend to suit:D

I have just sent a letter to CALL SERVE, as it has to be them they are the only ones who have been sending me letters.

 

The letter I sent was the "contact me in writing" letter from above and to let them know I am investigating the charges.

 

The letter was sent via recorded delivery,if the guy turns up again tonight I will just refuse to answer any questions and tell him I have sent them a letter.

 

Will also get a S.A.R. sent to barclays and when that is answered I will be back here to figure out where to go next.

 

Huge thanks for all the help so far and the crazy fast speeds in which everyone replied.

 

Thanks

Andy

Always refuse to speak to them. A debt collector came to my door about six weeks ago. My wife answered the door and I heard him say he was from Robinson Way (I didn't know they operated in NI). When I came to the door, I told him that I’m not going to speak to him and closed the door. He looked surprised and had to leave. I haven’t heard a thing from them or Cabot who they were collecting for since.
