    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store. Unfortunately, the car park here is managed by MET parking.

    • 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.

I received a letter today from Capital One stating that they have refunded the £12.00 penalty charges added to my account.

 

Although I have been paying them £10.00 every month, they added a £12.00 LATE OR FAILURE TO PAY charge to my account on the 5th October. Their settlement letter is dated 6th October.

 

I have drafted the following response to them.

Can you tell me if it is ok please?

 

Thank you for your letter dated 6th October 2009 informing me that you have refunded the penalty charges to my account.

 

On reviewing my account, I note that there has been a LATE OR FAILURE TO PAY charge of £12.00 added to my account on the 5th October 2009.

 

I would like this charge refunded.

 

Additionally please provide evidence that my records at Credit Reference Agencies have been corrected to reflect that there are no late payment markers, default markers, arrears markers etc., logged against my name.

Capital One have got round to responding to my letter.

 

They say they will refund the £12.00 and that the late payment markers will remain.

IMG_0001-1.jpg

 

I had put in my court claim that they were to refund the charges and remove the markers.

 

What should I do now. I have not notified the court that they have refunded the charges as I was waiting for them to confirm that they have removed the late payment markers.

 

Do I enter judgement as they have failed to carry out all the requests in the court order?

 

Please let me know!

I issued a court claim for overlimit fees and late payment fees.

I went over the limit by like £3.00 and they applied iver limit fees to the account.

 

I have a standing order that is set up to pay them a set amount every month. I did not increase the amount to pay off their overlimit fee, so they then charged me late payment fees.

 

I submitted the court claim and they have refunded the charges. I pout in my claim that they were to refund the charges AND remove the markers from my credit file.

 

They have not removed the markers.

 

Do I enter judgement in light of their letter that I received today?

By the way sky, I don't know why your earlier stuff was deleted but please remember that companies like Cap One would love to get CAG shut down. So, although we all get frustrated at times we need to be a little carefull of what we say, not everybody reading these posts are friends..

1. Have you got a court order against them? If you have are you sure it mentions the markers?

2. Do you still use the account?

3. How long have you had the account?

4. Have you CCA'd them.

 

I ask about the contract because you may have given them permission to use your info when you signed it.

I went through the whole process of prelim LBA and then I filed a court claim.

 

They refunded the charges but have not adjusted the markers.

 

Those markers were applied as a result of their unlawful charges, and yes I still use the account.

 

The account has not been cancelled and I still have a valid card.

I have had the account for about 6 years.

The court claim was deemed issued on the 1st October 2009.

Capital acknowledged on the 5th October.

They refunded the charges on the 6th October.

They have not amended the data with Credit Reference Agencies as set out in the claim.

 

You do not appear to have been to court yet and you must be very careful not to get hit for costs on this. If you have signed an agreement allowing them to share your data and they produce it in court you could end up with a bill of several hundred pounds. Has a court date been set yet? Do you have a copy of your contract?

I am confused.

 

What do I need to do to get them to remove the late payment markers that they applied to my account as a result of THEIR UNLAWFUL charges.

 

The information that they have reported to credit reference agencies is false. I have never missed any payments. I have always paid every month. The account would never have been over limit or had late payment fees had they not kept on applying their charges.

Hi Sky

Welcome to the credit card crazy world. It has taken me 8 months and a court appearance to get Cap One to admit they do not have a valid agreement. (or any agreement come to that). Every credit card company in this country will trample all over your legal rights knowing it will take a great deal of time and effort plus a little money to force them to take any action on your behalf. If you want to do anything about this you will need a great deal of patience.

You seem to have gone off at half cock here, start at the begining. Do you have a copy of your agreement? Do you have a court date?

How have I gone off half cock?

 

I followed the procedure on there that states that you send a Prelim and and LBA and then you set out in your claim that you want your money back as well as adverse info removed.

 

I don't have a copy of my original signed agreement. No.

 

I do not have a court date.

 

They have refunded my charges and nothing else.

 

I wrote to them to tell them they have not complied with all the requests set out in the court claim.

 

Their response to my letter is posted above.

 

What do I do next?

You need to start at the begining. Have a look on the tenplates on here for a letter requesting a copy of your contract under S78 of the CCA 1974. It will cost you a pound.

 

I have to tell you Sky it will take several months for you to get this rectified. There is no quick way and its quite possible that by the time you do get it rectified it won't matter any more. Also if they produce a signed agreement there may be nothing you can do about, you may have given your permission.

 

Sorry but I believe that is the reality.

I will notify the site team to see if they think any diferent.
