    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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.

Thank you again so very much. I have printed the letter and will post it tomorrow. I would actually like to know what the settlement is so maybe after I lay this to rest with the solicitors I can request a full and final. I know I dont actually have to pay them anything but I do want this resolved and put to bed forever as I dont want it hanging over my head. Im not trying to avoid paying my debts but I will never get this paid off with them adding the interest they do month after month. They wouldnt help me when I asked them.

 

Can I ask how you know so much about all this stuff. You are such a great help to me. Thanks again.

A default will only remain on your credit file for six years (five in Scotland).

 

If you do try to negotiate a settlement figure you should include the proviso that all defaults are removed from your file & that it is marked as settled in full. Also any negotiations should be in writing so that they cannot renage on any agreement.

Well I sent the letter to Restons and havnt heard a peep since from either Restons or HFC. I havnt even received a statement so I have no idea whats going on there. I do find it very odd as they have never missed sending a statement and letters asking me to pay but I have heard absolutely nothing.

I still havnt heard a thing from anyone regarding this account but I have just signed up for the trial with creditexpert and having just looked at my file I have a default showing as below. Is there a way of getting this removed or changed as I cant have this on my file as this can make me lose my job.

 

I am grateful for any advice anyone can give.

 

HFC BANK CREDIT CA... Credit card / S... Default £11,195 06/12/2009 hidebutton.gif Hide

ENTRY NUMBER: C5

Name: xxx Address: xxx Date of birth: xxx Company name: HFC BANK CREDIT CARD SERVICES Account type: Credit card / Store card Started: xx/xx/1999 Default Balance: £11,195 Current Balance: £11,195

 

Defaulted On: 31/10/2009 File Updated for the Period to: 06/12/2009 Status history:

[] brackets indicate most recent months status [ hist_8.jpg ] What's this? Note: A defaulted account is removed from your report after six years whether or not you have paid the debt in full. If you have paid some of the debt off, the balance should show how much you still owe.

I have searched around this site again and ive found the below letter. Is this the one I need to send to get the default removed please.

 

 

Dear Sirs.

 

Ref: Account number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

It has come to my attention, that you have processed financial information about myself, to several credit referencing agencies.

 

You will be aware that the Data Protection act 1998, an act of parliament, requires you to hold signed authority from myself to process such data, that does not fall within the public domain.

 

Can you please supply me with a signed copy of my consent, given to you for the purposes of allowing you to process such data.

 

Please respond to this request within 7 days.

Hi

 

Im looking for some advice again please.

 

I have moved house a couple of times since I last posted and have not informed HFC of an change of address although I have informed everyone else and ive updated my file on experian and joined the electoral role so im assuming that if HFC want to write to me they can easily find me. Anyway my ca is due for a change and ive just had credit refused. Im assuming this is because of the HFC default on my file from 2009 although everything else such as mortgage, credit card and car payments are all paid up to date. I am now thinking about offering a full and final settlement just to get rid of this default as I dont want to be held back because of it and I dont really fancy having it on my file and not being able to get car finance for another 4 years. If I write to them am I going to be throwing away the time lapsed already when it comes to making the debt statute barred. What I mean is if I contact them now and they respond and dont accept will I have to begin the 6 years again.

 

Thank you for any help you can offer.
