    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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 folks

I have an account with ambrose wilson which i am behind on payments.Now i am being chased by reliable collections with threatening letters and recorded messsages.I owe them about £400 and had account for over 10 years,I am thinking about sending them a SAR request to see if they have an enforceable CCA and wondering if i should go down road with reclaiming back unfair charges from them as i wonder if i did that it might cancel debt out anyway as i have had loads of late payment charges incurred on account over several years and suspect that remaining £400 could well be cancelled out or at least a big chunk of it and who knows maybe ambrose wilson will owe me money!i am also fed up of their very condesending threatograms :mad: and when i did phone them up to make arrangement of payment they pushed me into paying on a date that was not very conveiient,At first i though oh well not worth going into dispute and having hassle of them trying to enforce debt for £400 but i am finding it a struggle to pay the £30 a month they demanding of me and getting behind on more important bills like my mortgage and endowment so thought this is ridiculous keep stuggling to pay them particulary as remaining money oweing to them is probably composed of unfair charges and interest on that plus their horrendous interest rate and proably by now paid debt several times over! so would appreciate any help and moral support about going down this road as never reclaimed charges before:)

Im happy to help with support and my own opinions but as i have no legal qualifications If I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action,

FOR sake, pay your mortgage before these cretins - the worst THEY can do is have a court make you pay them a quid a month!

 

You have two options:

SAR to reclaim your charges - might be worthwhile if they owe you as much as you say - this means the possibility of going to court and YOU proving they owe the money - you might decide that it's not worth the aggro.

 

CCA - chances are after 10 years there will be no extant credit agreement, in which case, you don't pay any more, but you can't claim anything back.

 

Morally, the "CCA then stop paying" route is better. [1]

I know finance companies take the P, but you signed the contract, and knew what the consequences would be for failing to make payments.

 

UNLESS it was Welcun (ts) - in which case, screw them for every penny you can.

 

[1] if we act without morals, are we better than the spotty oiks at the DCAs?[2]

 

[2] Yes - because it's *US* [3]

 

[3] and besides, they started it.

Always, always pay your priority bills first! :-)

 

I've been done over by Reliable Collections!!!!! I have an account wiht Simply Be and fell behind with payments due to financial difficulties. I called them up and the operator put me through to Reliable Collections who put me on a payment plan for £20 per month.

 

The woman I spoke to said there would be a small arrangement fee. Low and behold I get my next statement through to find that they have added £99.99 to my balance for this "arrangement fee".

 

Check your statements and keep and eye on them. Pay what you can afford and keep up with your mortgage. The worst that Reliable can do is send threatening letters and make threatening phonecalls, no offence but what is that compared to losing your home?

Hi folks thanks for feed back.I did wonder in this case claiming unfair charges a good way to go if it exceeds debt,As loads of other Caggers been sucessful and morals dont come into it now as i have come to conclusion a lot of fiance companies deserve every flak we impose on them as when it comes to morals they use every trick and loophole they can find to put charges up and depend on us ordinary consumer not being very up on things we sign for!if a consumer has paid a lot more that original debt because of unfair charges and exortinate interest rates they deserve to be chased for unfair charges!

Hi Katpuss!

being in Cag for a year i suppose i ought to know better than paying those muppets over my mortgage.I kept thinking is it worth the hasle of putting this account in dispute over £400 but now think like you it is a mad situation when i am having problems finding money for priority bills and credit cards that have enforceable ccas and yet reliable whoi ive probably paid debt to several times over if people say morals to me! getting their payments albeit late and a few months in arrears!and like you i paid a £99 arrnagement fee !i am in dispute with some credit cards over unenforceable cca issue already.so i suppose might as well add reliable collections to my list!Especially as they giving me ,loads of harresing phonecalls leaving messages on my answer machine so any visiter listening know reliable collections after me!which is against oft rules,

Hi Sunflower,

 

Don't let them get you down as they're not worth it. They are men with small appendages hiding behind their phones!.

 

Please pay your mortgage first as this is top priority and I would certainly SAR Reliable/Ambrose Wilson so that you can see what charges they had loaded on. Have you kept the voicemails on your phone, if not please keep any further as the messags can be used as evidence if you want to take the threatenig behaviour further.

 

If you have enforceable debts that you are struggling to pay may I suggest contacting the Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS). I am on a DMP with them, they are a free charity and excellent.

CCA them, don't waste money on an SAR at this stage, with an account that old they certainly won't have an agreement. End of.

Hi Zazen warrior

I suppose a cca request is a direct hassle free route to get rid of them :)

I love that letter :D ! I wouldn't bother getting nice biccies, give them some Tesco Value ones with added ingredients :rolleyes:!

 

Did they actually make the appointment with you or have they just decided to invite themselves round?

 

They probably won't come round, it's just to make you feel worried.

 

If Reliable ever come round to my house they'll have a shock as I will boot them out (literally) if they manage to get past me at the door! :D

I got a letter from Reliable along with a statement from Simply Be last week, get this:

 

Statement said payment due by 2nd September

 

Reliable letter said payment due immediately and that I had £5 arrears even though I paid the first £20 due when I set the arrangement up.

 

Called Reliable and they didn't seem to know what they are doing.

 

Have totally had enough of these muppets so I am CCA'ing them this week and stopping payments :D

Hi Katpuss

No they did not make any appointment at all.The letter just turned up today the very day they said they would be sending the heavies round!so not any chance to cancel it! They have not turned uo yet though they said up to 9pm so still a chance he or she could turn up i suppose! but like you i think they meant a phone call! :Dand just trying to make me think it is a doorstep visit,So hopefully i will not see a DCAS bits splattered round the walls! :eek: i keep telling my OH that DCAs are not worth being sent to prison for:eek: That the pen is a mightier weapon than the sword! i not sure i got that saying right! but you get the gist!LOL
