      LC Asset/Link/Kearns Claim Form #2 - MBNA CC

      By Badtimes123 · Posted

      Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

      Scottish Power won't re connect electricity for another 4 weeks

      By bev7896 · Posted

      Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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,

 

I need some advice. I took out a barclays staff loan in 2008 over the phone. No credit agreement was signed and i recieved no paperwork. I am now getting made redundant and have to pay the loan back. Looking into my options I have found out that the loan is not on my credit file. Does anyone know what this means?

I think I just checked experian. What would happen if i defaulted on the loan? Obviously i would not want to but im worried. Im going to have no income and my redundancy will not cover the debt.

In the absence of an agreement they cannot take any enforcement. They can't prove a debt exists, they don't have your permission to process your data & if they were to mark your CRA file you could sue them to remove it. See; Knocked back by a DCA on a Sec 10 notice? - The Consumer Forums

I have had a credit card for years. The bank never provided info about the account to any CRA. This is what got me suspicious ang got digging for the CCA. The bank admitted not having one. I remember applying for a current account in the branch. Towards the end of the form there was a tick box of whether I wanted the full package which included a credit card. I did not tick it, but when I got home I got a phonecall from the branch staff who offered to tick it for me so I could get the full package. I suppose they have targets to sell so much every month. I said yes. I am pretty sure there were no terms in the application form. I am pretty sure this is why the agrrement/appilication form has now disappeared and the account activity never reported to CRA.

 

The account is not defaulted but I am sure it will be when I place the account in dispute and stop making payments.

 

From my experience: lack of an account marker means => CCA problem

how are you going to place the account in dispute? Do you think if I stopped making payments and placed the account in dispute I could have the debt written off as there is no credit agreement? They have recently changed the conditions for new applications for a staff loan, this now includes a signed agreement. when I rang to query my terms and conditions (which I never recieved) they said it was because of the CCA. Really sounds suspicious to me.

s.127(3) of CCA 1974: without a document containing the prescribed terms and your signature, the court cannot order enforcement.

 

How will they enforce without such an agreement/document?

 

Eventually ,after threatening and passing to DCA's etc (and perhaps taking it to court, which you can defend) they would have to write it off for tax relief.

 

If you have financial problems you will most probably get defaulted if you go on a reduced payment plan. Since they will default you anyway, why would you pay them the little money that you have for a non existent credit agreement? I would not.

I had one of these. Just arranged over the phone. No paperwork no-nothing. When they made me redundant, they converted it into a normal loan. I had financial problems at the time and defaulted on it. That was 8 years ago and have not paid a penny back to them. It's now statued barred.

Oh yes! You could call them for a loan or an overdraft and would normally be agreed straight away. You never got any paper work, or an agreement to sign.

 

When you leave, they convert it from a staff loan to a personal loan and you start repayments.

 

I've had a few letters from Crapbot, but as it is statute barred, I use them to line the cat's litter tray. Now that is taking the p**s.

That's brilliant. I wish my bank did that, I'd love a loan for which I'd not signed anything.

 

I'd love to see them prove that I asked for it as I would insist I thought it was a gift or bonus for being a wonderful customer and see it as a way of making up for the dreadful drop in share value caused by Fred "nothing to do with me" godwit!

 

Presumably you have to sign something to get the staff loan converted into a personal loan? What happens if you don't?

hay,

 

I have looked a bit further into it. The loan itself is excluded in the CCA because it was not avaliable to the general public. Im thinking if i cancel the direct debit and refuse to pay them as I now have no income (because they have made me redundant) the default can not show on my credit file as it was not on their in the first place. But if they do default me I can sue as I have not signed a credit agreement for them to share my information.

All im worried about is them taking me to court.

I have learned today that this loan is NOT covered by the cca as it was not avaliable to the general public (even though its exactly the same)

Am I right in saying that if I default on this loan it can not show on my credit file as they do not have a document containing my signature allowing them to share my info with cra?

What do you think would happen if they take me to court? As it is not covered by the cca?

To be fair, if you have borrowed the money you should pay it back, not try to run off. I know that many lenders get back stacks more money than they gave out, and I disagree with many of their policies & tactics, but if I lent someone money I would want it back.

 

On the flip side, if we all refused to pay back what we borrowed, then many more people would end up in the same position as you, and that is redundant.

 

I am not trying to preach to you good vs bad etc, so please don't take it personally, but if you can't pay it back because they have made you redundant, then try and work out some agreement first, because I feel that if you do play dumb and pretend that you never took out a loan because they can't prove it, I suspect you will end up in court and might even end up in a much worse situation? i.e. fraud?

 

Just my 2pc mate, nothing personal. :cool:

What legislation is it covered by then since a loan is covered under the Consumer Credit Act?

Are they saying it isn't a loan?
