    • 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.

Not sure what help you want, gaza ?

 

Have you done a subject access request (which does cost you £10.00). They are under no obligation to provide statements free of charge.

 

With the CCA request (£1.00) they are obliged to send a statement of account only.

Gaza, they say they are confident they can provide a witness statement to say that it was their process to always have a signed agreement in place.

 

Brilliant.. no problem with that. However, how confident are they that the document had the prescribed terms as required by the Consumer Credit Act.. :rolleyes:

 

If they were that confident then the document would not be lost. That is what you need to be focussing on.. an agreement signed in the prescribed manner by both of you and signatures apended to a document containing the prescribed terms.

 

They can provide whatever they like or say whatever they like for an s78 request.. but for any court action they require the document as above. If they dont have it, then any reproduction will be hearsay and I am sure there are plenty of Marbles agreements floating around the forum from the period you took yours out that would prove that the document wasnt compliant.

gaza,

 

They say in their letter dated 12 April that you were sent a Default Notice. I do not see a copy of that on your thread.

 

There is a letter dated 3rd March 2010 (post #21) headed "Intended Action", where they advise they will be sending you one. But that itself is NOT a default notice.

 

So if you have received a specific letter headed Default Notice, can you please let us see a copy of it.

 

Reading back over your thread, I see that one of your issues is that you believe you were told you had a Zero % interest until the end of the contract whilst you were on a reduced payment plan.

 

Looking at the letter from HFC in post # 11, yes they do say that. However, if you broke the terms of the "new" contract then they would probably be permitted to return to their normal contract terms.

 

I would say one thing however, if it is their intention to rely on the letter dated 3rd of March as a genuine Default Notice. They are stuffed :)

Gaza, bit late replying to the pm but here goes.

 

CB is correct, if you have a default notice under Section 87 you should post it up for comments.

 

Your next step in my opinion is to send them another letter.

 

Refer to their letter of 30 March 2010 and say that you note that they there is no agreement available between you and HFC and say that you are aware that any enforcement action through the courts would require strict proof that an agreement existed.

 

Thank them for notifying you that any potential agreement between you and HFC would be unenfoceable and in view of that admission you trust that they will not harrass you any further and close your file.

 

Also say that you trust that they will not pass your file to debt collection agencies as strict OFT guidelines point out that before pursuing a debt they should ensure that an enforceable agreement exists.

 

In my opinion, Job done.

Hi Gaza

 

This is just my opinion you must make your own mind up.

 

It makes no difference how many letters you send to Marbles now. They will just pass the account to debt collection companies who will hound you. I doubt if they will take any other action because it would be small claims court so no big fees for anyone and a good chance they would lose without the agreement copy.

 

When you get a letter from a debt collector write to them and say that you have written confirmation that Marbles do not have a copy of an executed agreement and therefore they are breaking the Office of Fair Trading guidlines by writing to you without first confirming that an agreement does in fact exist. If they continue to contact you, you will have no option but to complain to the OFT.

 

Thats what I would do, there are not many other good options.

nothing to worry about there

std crap.

 

they have no CCA sothey are stuffed.

 

if you want closure

 

wait for it to be sold to a dca then offer 10% as F&F

under the strict condition that they remove ALL refereance to the A/C totally from CRA files

if not - off er £1 PCM till you die.

 

2nd thoughs

send that letter to marbles now.

 

as you have no legally binding agreement with me i hereby offer this olution to our mutual business:

 

i hereby offer [10%] in F&F settlement of the alledged debt, under the sole condition that ALL reference is removed from my CRA file totally and that it should thus never show again.

 

the alternative to this offer is £1 PCM till i die.

 

thank you

Hi Gaza,

Just had a look through, again you're in the best hands already :)

 

On the subject of unlawful recission (UR) this is more accurately called repudiatory breach. It's the termination that's unlawful, giving rise to repudiatory breach, and upon the debtor accepting the breach the agreement is rescinded.

Unfortunately proving a negative ie no Default Notice received is much harder than demonstrating that a received DN is faulty.

The bank churn them out by computer and do not keep exact copies. They will swear they sent one and a court will most likely believe them.

The only way around this, to my knowledge is to do a subject access request and if no entry is made on the comms log that a dn was issued, you have them. Even better, as CitizenB says, if the comms log shows DN issued on the date they sent that pathetic notice of intention they're stuffed.

I'd continue following the top advice you've had so far re the lack of agreement, as I feel that's your best way forward.

Just my opinion, others may differ :)

regards,

Elsa x

your on a poxy phishing list

 

ignore them they have no valid CCA and the debt is charges that can be reclaimed.

 

in fact

 

re-reading the thread

 

back in the good old days of 2005? you had XXX charges that HFC admitted to.

reclaim those and all the other unlawful chargessince & it will be MORE than what you currently supposedly owe

 

it would ceratainly kill the extra interrest added when marbles or whoever took it over.

 

cant see how you owe them any money at all

 

or you must i'd SAR HFC.

 

but its not worth the £10

 

this case would never go to court anyhow..
