    • 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.

I know it's been discussed many times but I need clarrification on two points please.

 

1. If a claiment/creditor admits that they have detroyed the original Consumer Credit Agreement it is acceptable for them to use a microfitch copy in court.

 

2. If the claiment/creditor in response to a "this account is in dispute letter" issues a complaints reference number and states that they are investigating and that they never send a final decsion only a we are still investigating letter, they are not entitled to continue collecting or take you to court for the full balance. also if the Default notice was issued while stiill under investigation by the claiment/creditor this renders the defaul Notice illegal.

 

Thanks for your help

I have to email a fast track standard disclosure list by 4 pm today.

 

Do I inlude things like CCAct, Presidances etc or is it just my letters to them and the letters they have missed off their disclosure list. Their disclosure list came today.

Could someone answer my questions in my other thread 'Conformation of two points please' as this is relevant to the above

if they have an enforceable cca in any format then, if it is for that reason you are disputing the a/c, then surely the A/C is not in dispute?

 

i would also think that microfish is acceptable in court, it is a 'true copy' which that is all it has to be.

I thought that a True Copy of an agreement could only be used in respose to a section 77/78 request, in court they have to produce the original.. Altho i am sure i have seen a few threads where microfich copies have been accepted when they are clearly readable? I am sure an expert wikll clarify..

It is not clear if you expect to recieve a county court summons regarding a credit card account.

If you expect to recieve a summons then IMHO you should forget section 77/78 requests, using instead use CPR 31.16 to request.

Thanks guys, perhaps I did not explain it properly

 

I am in court between the end of Oct beginning of Nov, SC&M (Lloyds Credit Card). I am happy that I am going to win on numerous points (except if I get a dark ages Judge aged 130 with a mind that the masses have no say)

 

On their Standard disclosure it say, under document no longer in our control: The original application/consumer agreement was distroyed after being transfereed to microfish. Now as I understand it the legislation says the original should be available in court. So therefore is it purely up to the judge to accept a copy of a copy? and is it general for a judge to go this way?

 

With regards to the account in dispute: Lloyds had not supplied the ccagreement within the alotted time frames, and I sent a letter saying because of this the account is in dispute and only therefore enforceable by a courrt of law, when they eventually sent a poor and in places illegable copy (with errors) I wrote to them saying account is still in dispute because of............. They replied saying we are sorry blah blah and here is your case reference number. We are investigating. I had 2 sudsequent 'we are still investigating letter' with no final responce. It was only after the 3rd we are still investigating letter that I stoped paying. They DN-ed just after that point. My question was by sending these we are still investigating letters and issuing reference numbers they agreed/confirmed/by default that the account was in dispute, therefore rendering the DN illegal

microfish will be a photo of the original, so thus you have a printout of that? & you say it has 'errors'

 

if your whole case rests upon this being faulty, i'd post up what you have.

 

the other question that must be asked is: "is this your debt?" regardless to ifthey have an enforcable CCA or not, i think thats the way the judge will view it regardless to the CCA having 'questionable' aspects.

It as been discussed here and other forums and besides I now live by: 'Walls have ears'

 

I would agree 'is this your debt' is from what I have read, what some unlearned judges say and therefore I am ready with my reply.

 

I am in many respects facing this with a blazay attitude because I am in a win or no loose situation - a win is preferable but not a neccesity, my credit rating is already shot and being on a dmp means in essance that what I earn should be put into the kitty - now a ccj of lets say £20, £30 or fourty pounds per month would give me stability with the ability to earn money.

 

The other thing I will say is if everbody beleaved that it is as simple as 'is this your debt' then we should all be on our knees and praying to the lord god (we do as we like) of banks and be greatfull that they partake in or bottoms with the blessing of the judicery

ok well we cant help with only half the info......your call.

 

pers i would not rely on a questionable CCA to get me out of paying this debt, if thats what you are trying to do.

 

an unenforcable CCA is not some magic bullet that wipes debt out.

I had this discussion some 16 months ago, i.e. ethics. And it seems strange that you have written the line 'get me out of' as a cagger, I am not getting out of anything I am using the same LAWS that the bank can and do use against others, including against me. The banks help put me in debt and help themselves to put me further under. Your magic bullet should be used to cleanse the curupt system where it is deemed acceptable for the institutes to use the law but it is 'a loop hole or a get me out of this' if Joe Public uses it.

 

If it is incorrect then it is incorrect no matter which side of the tracks you live and of cause we know that it will all fall down to balance of probability, political will and what mood the judge is in!

 

From a tax paying, middle class, conservative business man to a sinical objector of the system in 4 years. And who made me this way Government, judicery and the ultimate power holders - the banks, and I am not the only one who thinks this way

 

I ultimately blame myself for my nievaty and then some of the blame must fall at the feet of my perants for instilling in me to trust the institutes because they have us a heart - bulldodo

sorry i must strongly disagree

CAG is not here to help people find loopholes to avoid paying their debts.

 

CAG is about legally fighting back

following the correct method, i'e by reclaiming charges etc etc , would be doing everyone a favour & they could gain by your actions.

 

as it stands, the chosen method will only strengthen those we wish to battle, but weaken CAG as a whole.

 

unsubbing.

If this is small claims track then evidence is whatever the judge says is evidence, copies should always be introduced as hearsay evidence and you may want to read up on this thread about questioning copies and how they were created and controlled.

With regards to the account in dispute: Lloyds had not supplied the ccagreement within the alotted time frames, and I sent a letter saying because of this the account is in dispute and only therefore enforceable by a courrt of law,

 

Imo this is not correct, the account is in dispute only UNTIL they provide the CCA.

 

when they eventually sent a poor and in places illegable copy (with errors)

 

However if its illegible then it doesnt conform to s78 :-D

They only issued a complaint reference number and we are investigating after I sent the letter explaining the problems with the received ccagreement. Therefore they themselves placed the acc in dispute by their actions. Interestingly a coverall statement in their cannot find it section of the standard disclosure, here is the complete list:

 

1. documents formally in the possession, custody or power of the claiment

 

2.Original of application form/agreement which has been copied to onto microfiche and subsequently destroyed

 

3. Originals of all letters from the claiment or it's agents to defendant and any third perties and any other documents which by reason of effluxion of time have been lost or destroyed, misplaced or cannot now be traced and/or reproduced

 

In their we have list they do not list the 'We are investigating letters', I have the feeling that they think I am telling stories and have made them up. Very convenient them points above but won't they get a shock when I present the originals. I expect an I want this, this and this off the standard disclure list.

 

Leasson for today don't distroy anything LOL

You need to read that link I quoted above, if the prescribed terms are on the form but cant be read it should be game over, if they are on a separate piece of paper they say was connected or on the back of the microfiche document you need to put them to strict proof of this fact. If it cant be read at all then it should be game over also. Could come down to Judge lottery though.
