    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement.

The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect.

I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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 had to share this with everyone - I received a text message from Marbles today (amongst the 5/6 phone calls i'm still getting daily) and in it they asked me to call them because they want to offer me a seasonal settlement offer.............what is this supposed to mean???? I mean, they refused my initial repayment offer, they've failed to comply with my request for a signed credit agrement, they've threatened me with countless letters - but now they are texting me offering me a discount????

I'm guessing the advice from you lot would be to ignore and file away? But thought i'd just check!?

 

they are keen to sort out a settlement as they know they probably have an unenforcable agreement.

 

send them a copy of the below letter

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/52-harassment/135--harassment-by-telephone-response-letter-

 

also inform them you will only communicate with them by letter. If they want to discuss a settlement, they can put it in writing. :D

Hi everyone!! Well aside from the millions of calls i've had from the evil Marbles over the last few weeks (including Boxing Day - I kid you not!) I'd not had anything in writing from them until today. Where I received two letters! One is randomly dated the 25th of December and states:

 

Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 we are required to give you this notice as you have failed to make the full minimum monthly payment in each of the last two months in relation to the credit card account shown above.

 

It then lists two contractual minimum payments that have been missed.

 

The second letter is dated the 29th of December and states:

 

You have not brought your account up to date and, as advised in previous coresspondence, the next step will be to terminate the agreement and the account will be transferred to a Debt Colleciton Agency. You may be able to avoid this action by making a payment within the next 7 days.

We may also be able to offer a settlement figure to you which will involve reducing your balance. Please call today to discuss your settlement figure. If we do not hear from you the next contact you will have regarding this matter will be from our debt collection agency,

Love from

Matthew Ball

Ok I exagerate when I say he signed it with "love" - but nonetheless - not really sure if I need to respond to this. They have still not provided me anything other than the blank CCA (although what with the test cases stuff being written - I don't know if this is now enough?) no application form etc.

 

It baffles me that they keep offering me a settlement! Yet when I wrote to them initially offering reduced payments they ignored me. Should I wait to see which DCA they pass it to and begin battle with them - or should I respond? Any advice appreciated!

Hi all

For Marbles the account will probably be passed to their "Extortioner" firm Restons in Warrington.

 

Marbles accounts are usually old HFC (a subsidiary of HSBC) which specialized in "Riskier" Loans.

 

They will attempt to add HORRENDOUS "Collection Charges" to the accound -- 2,000 GBP on a 9,000 GBP is the sort of amount these DIGUSTING WRTECHES try and extort you with.

 

Not only that these guys run cowardly fashion to Court at a drop of a Hat -- so get your CCA and S.A.R and do everything you can before these SCUMBAGS get hold of the account but they will also go the whole charging route AND FORCED SALE OF YOUR HOME if they even think its remotely possible.

 

While Forced Sale is relativerly rare these Scumbugs will threaten, Cajole etc etc -- and about the only area you can get them on when they add on illegal "Collection" charges etc -- so prepare yourself in advance and get the S.A.R from the original lender. This will contain what the actual outstanding balance / interest is at the time of termination of the agreement.

 

The whole Charging order process IMO on UNSECURED DEBT where this possibility is NEVER mentioned on Credit card agreements is totally immoral - but what morality does any DCA ever have - and the words and Restons are totally mutually exclusive.

 

Check whether the also that the account is STATUTE BARRED or not.

 

If no payments etc have been paid to this account for 6 Years - then its Statute Barred and you can tell Marbles to go and make a sexual move with a Duck.

 

Restons will get a CCJ at a drop of a hat - usually via the "Auto Court" thing in Northampton and then they go for Charging Orders as the CCJ's they get always demand "Full and Immediate settlement" which obviously people can't do or they wouldn't be in the problem in the first place.

 

If you DO actually get the account passed to a DCA you probably will be better off believe it or not.

 

RESTONS are the WORST "PEOPLE" ever to deal with and RUSH to courts EVERY TIME unless you've really done your homework.

 

(If the Marbles card is issued by another lender i.e not HFC you might be spared the "Restons Treatment" -- Be greatful if Restons don't get involved).

 

Cheers

You seem determined to put the fear of God into people Jimbo.... but what you're saying is bowlarks. Please re-read my earlier post. I've dealt with HFC/Marbles myself and have experienced none of what you say WILL happen.... :rolleyes:

 

So have others on here...

 

Please pack it in.

I've done a search for your threads Jimbo.... and it seems that you were taken to court for a CCJ and Charging Order by Restons, which is where your hatred comes from.

 

This does happen when legal action goes undefended, which I'm assuming is what happened here. HFC/Restons have relied on legal action going undefended for a long time... but the tide is changing. When they realise that someone knows a tad more than they thought they did, then HFC back off.... Restons don't even get a look-in.... and legal threats disappear from the horizon.

 

Sometimes, they fancy their chances in court nonetheless.... but it's not a guaranteed eventuality, like your posts imply.

hear, hear

 

having not paid Marbles one penny for over two and half years, why have I now had a charging order put on my house??????

 

Because they DO NOT have the correct paperwork to carry out all the threats they make!

 

I do not intend to come across the wrong way Jimbo, but if you do not have anything helpful to post, please don't post anything. it is not helpful, and is quite upsetting and distressing.

 

A charging order can only be applied for if you fail to comply with a payment plan after County Court Judgement has been made.

This would mean that you would have to pay the debt when you ever sell your house.

 

A judgement will never be made without the correct agreement.

I'd be more scared if I owned a house to have a charging order put on - but the simple fact is I don't! I have done everything by the book so far - asking for a copy of my CCA and they have failed to comply - which by their own admission - is because they cannot locate it.

 

Don't worry guys - i've not been scared by the threat of Restons - i'm quite happy to face anyone in court over this..............

 

I've avoided court with all my debtors so far - including threats from the infamous Howard Cohen - I could be riding my luck - but I know that everyone here will help me out if it does get to court.

 

Am I wrong in thinking that Restons are the internal debt collectors at HFC? And should I send the SAR? I haven't done so yet - only the CCA and account in dispute letter following it!?

Well, I do own a house and they knew it. The law is the law though... ;)

 

Restons are the solicitors that HFC use. The other lot are Weightmans. Neither will have bought the debt and will be acting on instructions from HFC, but can be very aggressive, so they do need to be put back in their place from time to time.

 

If you are sending a SAR, then it should go to HFC.... but it does no harm to let Restons know that you've done it because your disputing the balance on the account. This is not the same as placing an account "in dispute" however.... which the CCA request does.

  • 1 month later...

Hi Guys, after a month of hearing nothing from Marbles (the phonecalls finally stopped as did the letters) I received a text message from First Credit this morning - asking me to call them urgently. Now obviously I have no intention of calling them - it seems odd to text me first, rather than call or write - but hey ho.

Marbles never sent me a copy of my credit agreement - not even one of their dodgy application forms - so i've kind of got the feeling that they've just sold the debt on........I just wondered if First Credit were one of the usual DCA's for Marbles to use?? I was kind of expecting Restons to take over - given the replies on here. I've been looking through all my paperwork that Marbles have sent - and I can't find a default notice - only threats of one...and like I said no credit agreement whatsoever!

Am I right in thinking I just sit tight and wait for the letters to start from First Credit?

Hello

Just to add my experience:

Got into difficulties and ended up in DMP with Payplan who offered payment schedule. Marbles wanted proof of salary etc which I sent to Payplan who sent a letter to Marbles saying that they had verified it but gave no details of my employer.

All went well until debt passed to Restons to administrate who made the usual threats - debt was for about £4k by the way. I just kept telling Restons the same thing each time. Restons then got bored and HFC sold the debt to Marlin who are a bunch of monkeys (IMO)

Marlin are an aggressive DCA but are renowned for not having any paperwork. I CCA'd them and put the account into dispute. I remained respectful and paid them the amount agreed with Marbles in the meantime but after a few months of back and forth with Rankin excuses I sent them a "take me to court or drop it cos I'm stopping payments now" letter and they dropped it - I got a letter from them saying that HFC had released me from my obligations concerning this debt and no further action would be taken.

 

I would recommend you stand your ground - I was never disputing the fact that I had a debt to pay, but it's a fact of law that DCA's/Creditors cannot enforce the debt in court without certain paperwork so I refused to be bullied into court by Marlin who rely on the fact that people don't know how to defend their groundless legal threats - even following the bank ruling they still have to provide certain things to prove that they legally own and can enforce the debt which was all I wanted them to prove. I'm sure you'll have the same experience with First Credit, just stand your ground and make sure you hold them to account..

 

Good Luck!!

Yes , my alleged Marbles account was sold to 1st Credit nearly 2 years ago. .

 

As HFC will never find the correct paperwork, you shouldn't have any problems in getting 1stCred to crawl back under thier stone again.:)

Ok....so today the phone calls have started from 1st Credit - and still not a letter in sight to explain exactly why they are calling me. I've not spoken to them - had a missed call from a number - called it back and it was them....obviously just hung up! But there have been three more missed calls from them since.

Is this usual practice from them - to text and call but not write to say why they are involved? If I didn't know about CAG or had been receiving excellent advice from you people for years - then this kind of harrassment would have scared me. It's not like I can even write to them to tell them to stop calling me - because I don't have anything in writing from them with a reference number on it.

I'm very confused - I certainly don't want to be receiving several calls from them a day - but how do I stop them?

Send them this;

 

Dear Sir or Madam

 

Harassment by telephone

 

I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

 

I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls. (Delete if necessary)

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only. [if you Want Them to]

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded. (**Even if you don‘t yet have recording equipment!!**)

 

Yours faithfully, **Print name do not sign**

It would appear I spoke too soon!! I have today received two letters from these cretins!

The first was sent to my mother's address. The Marbles card was NEVER registered to this address, so I don't know how they obtained it. However it was addressed to me but read as follows:

 

1st Credit Limited is attempting to contact the above named person regarding a personal matter.

 

Your address has been supplied as a possible address for our subject who was previously resident at:

 

MY CURRENT ADDRESS WHERE I HAVE LIVED FOR THREE YEARS WAS THEN WRITTEN

Please contact our offices immediately on telephone number and quote the above 1st Credit Reference number at which time further information can be provided.

 

If you are not the individual we are attempting to contact or have information that may assist, please call at your earliest convenience, in order that we may correct our records.

 

If no response is received within ten days of issue we will assume that you are the individual we wish to contact and will of course ensure that all relevant correspondence is sent to you.

 

Now i'm not that clued up on everything but given the fact that the letter was addressed to me - if it hadn't been my mum's address, then the way they have written the letter is in fact encouraging people to open letters not addressed to them!? Surely this is illegal?

 

So far i've only had ONE text from them and one day of continuous calling. They have made NO ATTEPMT to write to me at my actual address - which they clearly know because they have written it in this letter.

 

HOWEVER, having got the letter from my mum's this morning - when I returned home - I had a letter from them as well. They were dated the same day,

 

This is one of their usual threats, Marbles have instructed them to collect on their behalf, blah blah blah...............they have added nearly £1.5k in interest and charges since last July - which I find incredulous.

 

I'm guessing I now send the account is in dispute due to a lack of anything with my signature on it......or do I send the bemused one?

 

And any comments on the legality of them sending the other letter to my mum's address?

 

All advice greatly welcomed!!

Hmmmm.... tricky. :cool:

 

On the face of it, they shouldn't be going on a phishing expedition anyway, but if you ignore them.... .there's always the risk that they could send court papers to your Mum's house. Although these could be defended and/or set aside (if applicable), it's just grief that neither of you need.

 

I would write to them and state that the account is still in default and until such times as an enforceable Agreement can be produced and re-enforced, no payments will be forthcoming to anyone. Add that if any more phishing letters are posted to addresses other than your own that you will report them for harrassment.... or whatever letter you have in mind. The "bemused" one should cover it.... by rec. delivery.

 

The charges are neither here nor there for now because there's no enforceable Agreement, but they're just there to un-nerve you.

Thanks for responding Priority One! I'm going to send the bemused letter recorded on Monday. I just have a quick question first.....

 

In post 56 I put a copy of the letter Marbles sent me basically admitting they have no CCA for the account, should I send First Credit a copy of this letter?

 

Or should I keep this as a trump card for a later date.......?

 

Many Thanks!

I wouldn't send a copy of it, no..... because they'll probably latch on to key words that suit them, such as "at the moment" and so on... :rolleyes:

 

Instead, adapt the "bemused" letter to include something like.... HFC have already confirmed to me in their letter of xx/xx/xx that they no longer hold such an Agreement and I therefore suggest that you now liaise with HFC directly instead of continuing to pursue payment on an unenforceable and alleged debt....

 

Wordplay can work both ways..... ;)

Hi guys, a quick update........I posted the bemused letter on the 5th March - sent recorded delivery and signed for on the 8th of March. In the meantime, 1st Credit sent another letter to my mum's address - asking for immediate repayment blah blah blah - which I ignored.

 

Today i've had a letter sent from 1st Credit headed up in a box LEGAL PROCEEDINGS..........it's dated the 9th March and only arrived today - the 18th???? Since when did Royal Mail take so long to deliver letters.

 

The letter goes on about they "may" have to recommend to their client that legal action is taken against you etc......

 

Now Marbles have still not provided me with a copy of my CCA - nor in fact have they provided me with anything with my puported signature on it - no application form or anything.

 

So what should I do with this letter....do I ignore and wait for them to respond to the letter I sent about the account being in dispute - or should I reply to it?

 

I get very confused about the whole legal process - can they even start legal proceedings when they have failed to provide me with ANYTHING i've asked for?

 

Any Advice gratefully received as usual!
