    • 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.

Hi all, in a nut shell received a letter from lowell financial saying I owe them xxxx amount of money for a balance outstanding on a cap one card. Around 4 to 5 years ago I think. Anyway sent them the CCA request form around 3 weeks ago. They have sent me a letter since saying that they are retrieving the info from cap one from the archive, once the agreement is retrieved they want me to pay outstanding balance? I don't agree with all the debt prob about 2 3rds but I haven't admitted that to them. Because it's over 14 days to get the cca agreement do i still have to pay? Or if they retrieve am I pretty much doomed and have to pay it? Any suggestions would be grately appriciated thanks in advance

Hi,

Before you send an account in dispute letter, make sure that you are past the 12+2 WORKING days not just 14 days.

 

Once the leeds losers are in default of your request you may (if you wish) send them the A/C in dispute letter. I like this one:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/172071-letter-co-solicitors.html#post1856406

 

It doesn't matter how long it takes them to find an agreement but if they do and it's enforceable, they can then start bugging you for it.

 

Don't forget the golden rules when dealing with the lowlifes

 

Don't speak to them on the phone

everything in writing

send everything recorded delivery

DON'T SPEAK TO THEM ON THE PHONE :-)

I am talking about this on another thread-'Cap 1 and 28 day letter'. Maybe some of the advice on there would help.

I am now advised to send an 'in dispute' letter.

Don't know if thats any use

Thanks all, so in a nut shell if they find the cca request I will pretty much have to pay or I could hold out and hope it doesnt go to court then next year it would be statue barred?

 

 

They may come up with an agreement but the question after that is, "is it a valid agreement?" Lots of early agreements aren't worth the toilet paper they're printed on. The longer it takes for them to get the agreement, the better for you. Lowells are one of the easier ones to see off. They are constantly buying cr@p debts and trying to bully poor gullible joe public into paying. The next letter you may receive could be," we are still looking but WOW pay us this lower amount and we'll close the case".

 

Have a look at other lowells threads to see what has happened with them. You will start to notice how similar they are to yours.

They have to provide an 'enforceable' CCA first, also if you send the SAR to Crap1 it could provide other information such as an improperly executed default notice, but that can be done later if they manage to provide an enforceable CCA.

To be enforceable in court the agreement has to contain a lot of information and in many cases this information is either missing or incorrectly stated.

 

Have a read of this thread it will give you more information about enforceability:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/162851-consumer-credit-agreements-guide.html

 

Don't worry if it reads like Greek,there are a lot of members who understand the rules very well and will advise you when,and if,you receive anything back from Lowells.

You've answered your own question :D

 

Standard rubbish from the leeds losers. Nothing you can do but sit tight. Hopefully it will get to a state that they will throw in the towel.

This is what i am expecting from cap 1 myself. From what i read, cap 1 have 12 plus 2 days to reply in full to your original cca request even though they say 'account on hold for 28 days'. I am NOT an expert on this stuff by any means-'Cerberuseralert' has been brilliant for advice......

 

Good luck

The advice i have been given is to send a 'bemused' letter which i believe is a letter to say to Cap one that their time is up (even though they have said to me my account is on hold for 28 days while they look into 'it') I am ashamed to say that i have not sent the bemused letter because i kind of feel out of my depth but you have renewed my spark and am typing said letter now! I will let you know.

What have the muppets said to you recently?

type away, never give in and be strong. They have said to me that they are still awaiting the CCA and will not contact me again until they receive it which will hopefully be never!

have recently been through the same process but have today rec'd a letter confirming that they are unable to find the original credit agreement and are therefore closing my account. Keep fighting do not contact them. If you have done a CCA it is up to them to provide the original agreement until they have they cannot enforce the debt.
