    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

Hiya Dotty

Thanks for replying . I am just so down at the moment.

I am just a bit unsure about defending an OD claim. I have successfully defended a loan claim and have seen off [ up to now ] most of the CC accounts that have been passed to DCAs

I know there is no documentation regarding the OD as its from the 1980s but all the letters about it come out in duplicate so they could summons OH as well as me and he definitely could not deal with that.

Hi Summer,

 

Same as you have been doing,I would have thought.

 

When I had a go at RW they just came back with a similar response from Halifax.

 

Ignored it and its now with iQor who have just got Mackenzie Hall to send a photocopy style letter purporting to come from a Stratford based firm of solicitors who 'might' advise court action and who also instruct me not to respond to them [solicitor] but to iQor --so will be writing to Halifax asking if their original letter saying 'we will not be enforcing as we search for this that and the other' has been forgotten about.

 

Just reread this post from Middy ...thats the same sort of letter me and OH have just got !

Well you have a lot to cope with at the moment so it's not surprising you are feeling low.

 

Have you written to the Halifax to advise them of your OH's illness? I am not saying it would make a lot of difference to their behaviour but at least it is on record and any continued threats could be considered unreasonable.

 

I have not got any experience to advise what to do with the OD account but I am sure someone will be along to help, but The Mould is very good when it comes down to help with F & F's

Hi Summer

 

I received a couple of letters from Geoffrey thingame so I phoned Halifax and asked if they still considered my a/c to be unenforcable and when they confirmed that they agreed to tell iQor to back off.Peace for 2 months then last week received a threatogram from Westcotts!

 

As Dotty suggests why not write to Halifax-together with a covering letter from your OH's GP-explaining your situation.

Any company with half a brain should grant you some leeway especially if you include that if they do not ease up on you,you will seek publicity by any means to point out their stance--publicity that I think they will not want in the present climate.

The Halifax reduced my overdraft then removed it totally because I wasnt using it and they appeared to start this nonsense a few years back, also reducing peoples credit limit to just above the balance to stop you having access to more credit they seem to think this is them being responsible lenders?? Not sure it be my first term used to describe them

Hello Friends ..needing your advice again.

I have submitted a F and F for the joint OD account . My first offer was rejected so send a further offer of just a little more and havnt heard back as yet.

I sent a letter to the IQ people regarding the CC account in my name only and told them that it was in dispute due to no CCA

I have now received a packet of statements going back to 2004 and a demand for payment.

No CCA included of course as there isnt one available and no reconstruction either.

Curiously the account number on the statements changes completely half way through with nothing to indicate why, no transfer of balance or anything. I think it may be because it changed from a Visa to a Mastercard.

 

Any ideas what I should do now ?

Hi summer

 

IMO, don't remind them that they cannot enforce without having fulfilled S78, wait until they try & then you have another arm to your defence. However, just so it looks good for you in court if necessary, I would write & tell them that they still haven't sent you a copy of your agreement as requested under the CCA1974 & that until they can prove to you that such an agreement exists, you will not be sending them any further payments.

 

I would also ask them to confirm under CPUTR that such an agreement exists. See this thread for further info on using this legislation as a very useful tool in such circumstances:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?291468-Fighting-back-with-CPUTR-2008....

Any knowledge I possess or advice I proffer is based solely on my experiences in the University of Life. Please make your own assessment of legality, risks & costs before taking any action.

Just a little update.

 

CC a/c referred back to Halifax who again wrote to say they have no CCA and cannot enforce. Wonder who they will send it to next ?

 

O/D now in hands of 2nd Crudit [ you know who I mean ]. They state in writing that they have bought the O/D and they are willing to accept my F and F on the terms I have asked for so will be sending 3rd party Chq for that and good riddance.

 

Hubby currently in remission and life a lot sweeter . Best wishes to all my friends on Cag xx

Long time no hear but this ac now in the hands of CQ.

 

I sent off a letter saying I have never had a proper response to S78 request in 2009 and that I have a letter saying no CCA available and they responded saying they would request the documents from LLoyds banking group.

 

A further letter now saying they have received the documents from Lloyds but need me to call them to confirm some security details before sending them to me.

 

I definitely will not be calling them and willl write to insist they fulfill their obligations to respond to the old S78 request.

 

My question is this . Has anything changed regarding S78 requests ? Do I need to send a new S78 request to CQ ?

 

I am certain they cannot have the CCA as the OC has sent 2 letters confirming none available and suspect they just want a contact number to harrass me on.

 

I havnt had much dealings with creditors for quite a while and just want to make sure nothing has changed.

 

Thanks for any input

 

Summer x
