    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

I got a letter in From Lowells today looking for a balance of over £2300 for a Littlewoods catalogue balance. I will admit that I buried my head in the sand about owing them money due to health problems over the last couple of years. Im now at a stage where I am ready to take the bull by the horns and sort everything out.

 

The balance when I stopped paying them was about £900.00 and I had been in contact with Littlewoods back then saying I wasnt working etc. We moved house and now this letter comes in.

 

I originally opened the account in 2005 and always managed payment via DD every month.

 

Would it be a good Idea to get a CCA letter away to them, and see what happens there.

 

Any advise would be greatly welcomed.

Yes, send the CCA ASAP.

 

Littlewoods rarely have one.

 

Should they come back with one, then SAR to see what is owed and what is made up charges they they have no hope in hell in collecting.

and you should NOT.lowell have payed about £250 for this debt.

Should I possibly contact Littlewoods themselves about a payment plan?

 

they will tell you that it is nothing to do with them anymore,and tell you to contact lowell.

 

 

would send cca request and see if they can get it;)

 

no doubt the losers will start offering f&f wonderfull offers anyway.

 

and if that is what you want you will be in a much better bargaining position if they dont supply within 12+2 or at all.:lol:

Letter in today now from Hamptons Legal, who I know from reading other threads is part of Lowell Financial, this one is saying the same as the other one, we may that action, and they have the cheek to add on the court fees and solicitors costs, and interest, even though they only MAY take me to court!

 

Still waiting for a CCA from Lowells as well.

Got a surprising letter from Lowells today along with what seems to be a CCA, its one sheet with the T & C.

 

Now here is the strange bit, I wasnt married when I opened the account and the name and address reflects that, yet the signature is my married name about 6 months after I got married, yet I cannot ever remember signing anything for Littlewoods apart from when I recieved any goods :confused:

 

What should I do now?

Got a letter today threatening legal action within the next 7 days from the lowlifes.

 

How can a CCA be produced and legal when the signature doesnt match the name of the account.

 

IE Maiden name on account but signed with my married name, also the signature is too straight for my actual signature and it looks like its been copied on to the paper!!

 

Checking it again tonight, the actual form iis illegible and the signature is way too clear!!!

Here is what I got, now it was dated and signed at least 6 months after I opened the account, the name is my maiden name and the signature is my married name!

 

The CCA letter want signed it was printed, and the signature on the above is similar but not exactly mine either, and its very clear compared with the rest of the page.

I have no Idea, I do remember I had to fax through a copy of my marriage certificate to condirm the change of name but that was it. Even the date and numbers that were on there didnt seem right. They were very messy which is very unusual for me as I am very neat due to my profession!

Bump, I have now had a letter from Lowells saying the account is now with the Pre-litigation department (ooooh Im scared)

 

 

Can anyone have a look at the CCA I posted and tell me if it is a true one, as Im not sure what to look for, and what I should do about the signatures.

Hi,

Sounds like somewhere along the line your signature has possibly been copied, did you write to them at any other time and possibly signed a letter without thinking. I am currantly in dispute with Littlewoods and read in the forum that companies can copy and then paste signatures into documents. I learned this after I had sent various letters to Littlewoods. I am waiting for my CCA to arrive. I know I never signed one so will be interesting to see. I have since applied the SignGuuard Signature strip to my signature so now no one could possibly copy my signature. I agree with what was said earlier to you, it wouldn't stand up in court.
