    • If the legendary dx could offer his wisdom it would be greatly appreciated 
    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.
    • Good evening  Case hearing this Friday 26/04. looking to have all my prep/papers ready.    just checking in to get update on my last post , ( the t&c’s attached). No name or address on them as per #49   thank you UCM

    • 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.

who's has inlawfully resinded the agreement, would thant be Barclayshark?

and at what point, when Alliannce one send the formal demand for the full balance, or when it was allegidly sold to lowells?

Or is that information irelevant to the losers at the moment?

 

it would be barclays that unlawfully terminated the agreement when they sold the account to lowells, Alliance's formal demand is irrevelavent with and invalid DN or prior to issuing of a valid DN and most the time its just a scare tactic.

 

But yes when barclays sold the account that is when the account was terminated and as they terminated the account with no valid DN being issued then its unlawful recission/termination of contract/account.

following which the law requires you to do some act or thing to show acceptance of the rescission, failing which it may be assumed that the agreement endures

One thing has just occured to me.

By confirming acceptance of the rescission, is this not an acknowledgement of the debt?

I know the CCA request would be still outstanding, but by accepting the rescission I would then be liable for the arrears, or are they not collectable without a vaild agreement?

Sorry to keep asking, but want to be absolutely sure about what I am including in this letter.

 

Has been over 2 years since any payment was made on this, don't want to start the clock ticking again on a stutue barred limits

well, did you borrow money from them or not?

 

if they have statements detailing your use of the card it would seem pointless in maintaining that there was never a debt

 

what you are disputing is that the debt is not legally enforceable!!

you might find this useful for future reference (courtesy of x20)

 

The Defendant admits entering into an agreement with the Claimant and which was regulated by The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (The Act). No admissions are made as to the terms, conditions or other provisions of the agreement and the extent to which the Claimant may or may not have complied therewith and the extent to which the Defendant may or may not have complied therewith.

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

I DO NOT AKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COPANY

 

Acc No XXXXXXXXXXXX

Client Ref; XXXXX

Lowells ref; XXXXX

Dear XXXXX

RE: Unlawful Rescission

I am in receipt of your letter dated XX/xx/xxxx, the contents of which have been noted.

You say that on XX/XX/XXXX Barclaycard sold the above account to Lowells, thus terminating the agreement which I accept.

 

I am also rather bemused as to why this account has been sold to your company, as it is the subject of a serious dispute with Barclaycard and the previous Debt Collection Companies AllianceOne Inc and Moorcroft since September 2007.

 

Not only is this a breach of OFT collection guidelines, but also in breach of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and Data Protection Act 1998.

On 19 September 2007 I made a request for a true copy of my Consumer Credit Agreement to Barclaycard, under the legislation contained within section 77(1) and section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Under the terms of the above Act, a creditor has 12 working days to provide the requested document.

 

This deadline was passed a long time ago and all I have received is a mostly illegible photocopy of an application form. This can lead me to only one conclusion, that being that no signed credit agreement exists in relation to this account.

 

Barclaycard are in default of my *Consumer Credit Act request, *OFT Collection Guidelines, *Subject Access request and have also breached *s10 Data Protection Act request, I consider this account to be in SERIOUS DISPUTE.

 

As you are aware while my Consumer Credit Act request remains in default enforcement action is NOT permitted, under s127, this constitutes a complete defence at law. Consequentially any legal action your company pursues will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS. I will also drawn to the courts attention that you have been advised of the unenforceability of the agreement and if you do pursue litigation and the court is in agreement with my assessment I will make an application for costs due to the fact that the litigation will be averred as being vexatious and unnecessary

If Lowells chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

I hope that this will not be necessary and an acceptable solution can be accomplished.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in WRITING ONLY. Telephone calls and personal visits will not be accepted and viewed as harassment and will be reported to the relevant organizations.

 

Yours sincerely

I have just noticed something on the letter from the Leeds Losers.

It has there reference number (OK)

It has the OC as Barclaycard (it does not say if its Visa or Mastercard)

In the section where it says

 

"I write to inform you that your Barclaycard account reference number XXXXXXXXXX, this is an incorrect account number, only 13 digits not 16?

Does this make it better to say I don't know of any debt under this account number?

well its a crap copy

they have not complied with your cca request

 

assignment is crap for this reason

 

lowell baiting time or straight for the throat

 

Thanks for your reply

What I was getting at is should I actually accept the unlawful recission on the back of this crap notice of sale as the account number is not my barclaycard accout number. How can you accept something that isn't your account?

 

By replying am not stating I am aware of a debt under this account number?

 

I do know what the debt relates to, but this acc number of the homemade notice of sale is not correct.

 

There are so many new tricks been practiced by the DCA;s of late, I do not want to fall in to a trap

But its xmas, so f**k um, probably shut till 4th Jan after tomorrow anyway. Let um wait.

 

Thanks for your input

I would imagine having an unrecognisable account number on correspondence is a de minimis issue, given the trail of paperwork involved. While it may be an issue technically, I doubt a judge would have much truck with such an point.

So I should still send the letter the Clownells, accepting the unlawful recission at point of sale. Should I use their incorrect acc number or the correct one?

 

Do I need to mention about Barclaycard still in default of my CCA request since 2007 at this point or not?

Yes go with what was first advised. the issue about the account number will not change the fact that it was unlawfully termininated, and to go with the account numbers would just be like opening a can of worms (aswell as notifiy them that its wrong). Where with the unlawful terminiation you know exactly where you stand. So keep the issue regarding the account numbers in your pocket for now, as less they know the better.

 

OHH and simply use their reference number instead of account numbers, in the letter.
