    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance.

    • 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

 

I fell behind with my Littlewoods catalogue payments, so they sent me an amended agreement to pay them back the arrears at approximately £40 per month.

 

I made these payments each month on time, until the arrears were cleared.

 

Then I called Littlewoods to arrange to pay the original balance still owed, they said the matter was now with NDR debt recovery, and they couldn't speak to me anymore about the matter.

 

I explained that I had kept to my end of the deal, and had cleared the arrears each month as requested, and asked why I couldn't continue to pay them an agreed regular amount directly to Littlewoods?

 

They repeated that NDR were now the people I needed to speak to.

 

On phoning NDR, they agreed to resume payments of £40 monthly - which I did by Credit Card by telephone.

 

A few months ago, I phoned them to make that months payment, and they said they could no longer accept the £40 but instead I needed to pay £101 every 28 days - effective immediately, otherwise my credit rating would be further affected.

 

They also said I had made this agreement with them by phone some months earlier. Now I know my memory isnt the best, but I am certain this conversation didn't happen.

 

I am struggling to meet these £101 payments, due to my work hours being cut, I did explain this to NDR but they refused to accept any less.

 

Am at my wits end now, I still owe around £1100 and really dont want to damage my credit rating any further.

 

I want to pay them back asap, but am really struggling to do so at the rate 'agreed'.

 

Is there anyway to negotiate with these people, and also avoid damaging my credit rating?

 

Advice appreciated

Yes I did sign the agreement, and as far as I know, I have a copy at home.

 

(at work atm)

 

I think the amended LW agreement did state that just the arrears were to be paid on those terms - £40 per month, but no mention was made of my account being passed afterwards to a Debt Recovery Agency, for the remaining balance.

 

As stated previously, I am quite certain I never agreed to pay £101 per month at any time - I wouldn't have as I know I can't afford it .

 

many thanks

I'm afraid it is very likely that you have been conned. In all probability you never had an enforceable agreement in the first place, but by signing that document one has now been created.

 

NDR are in fact their own in-house debt collection department. So in effect you are still dealing with Littlewoods. You could send them a CCA request recorded delivery http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter include a £1 postal order & do not sign the request. There is only a slim chance that they can't provide it now, but it's worth a try. Depending on what comes back it might mean you needing to send a sar later to see what unfair charges have been added to the a/c which you can reclaim.

 

This is a non-priority debt which means you should only pay them what you can comfortably afford. Unfortunately they will mark your credit card as in default eventually, it's just a matter of time when.

 

From now on do not speak to them on the 'phone, as you have learned they will say anything to get money out of you & what ever promises they make they will renage on so you should have a paper-trail from now on.

Ok thankyou for your help, its much appreciated

 

I will make sure in future not to allow myself to be 'conned ' in this way.

 

Trouble is I am sure there are a lot of people like myself, who have fallen on hard times (hopefully temporarily) and now find themselves behind with their bills.

 

Unfortunately companies like NDR are only to happy to take advantage of this situation.

 

Anyway thanks again for your help, this forum is doing a great job in helping and informing !
