    • 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.

Hi all

 

Had a response to my CCA request to Capquest. Thought you may like to read.

 

"Further to recent contact with our office and your request for further information in relation to the above account, we would confirm that your account is now on hold for 28 days whilst we obtain the information required.

 

If you have any proof of payments or correspondence that would assist with your query, please forward these documents, with a brief covering letter, to our Collections Administration department, so that we can resolve this matter as soon as possible.

 

Your sincerely

 

 

Blah, blah

 

Collections Administration Department.

 

Any comments guys? How long do they have to reply? I liked the "whilst we obtain the information required" bit. It's going to take them 28 days?? Can't they put their hands on it now? Hmmm, wonder why!

 

Also the bit "If you have any proof of payments or correspondence that would assist with your query, please forward these documents" Oh yeah, I came down with the last shower. Idiots!

 

So, how long is the statutory timeline for a response? Also, what if they try and use the £1 PO as a payment against the debt? I used letter N from the letters template section.

 

I can confirm this debt is over 13 years old, and will definitely be SB.

Just to confirm, they received my request on the 5th Oct (confirmed by Royal Mail, Track & Trace, signed for) so am I correct in thinking they have 12 working days + 2 from the 5th? That would take them until the 22nd Oct to reply. Is this correct?

 

Thanks

  • 4 weeks later...

Just thought I'd update you all. Deadline passed ( a while ago now) but gave them a bit extra due to postal strikes. Got a letter today from C*apQuest that is the standard "we have bought the debt from whoever, but here's a deal if you pay now". I saw red, needless to say. So I am winging the "Failure to provide a copy of the agreement within the prescribed timescale" letter to them tomorrow. Am also thinking TS and OFT need a letter.

Hi all

 

Some advice needed now please.

 

BTW my "failure" letter was sent to C*apQuest yesterday (3/11/09) via Rec Del.

 

Had a letter this AM from Abbey/Santander, dated 30th October 2009. I shall quote it now.

 

"Dear Mr me

 

We hereby give notice of the transfer of the debt due to us from you in respect of the balance outstanding as at the 27 MAY 09 on your Abbey Bank/Loan account. The balance due as at the date of this letter is £1530.98.

 

On 03 Jul 09 your account was sold (by way of assignment) to CapQuest Investments Ltd who has appointed one of their group companies, CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd to manage your account on their behalf.

 

We will shortly send a statement of your account to you. All further communications concerning that statement or any other matter relating to your account and all payments must be addressed to CapQuest Debt Recovery Ltd:

 

PO Box 396

Fleet

Hampshire

GU51 2WZ

 

Telephone: 0870 084 2553

 

Yours sincerely

 

Signed, no name

 

For and on behalf of ABBEY NATIONAL plc"

 

I am a bit confused now. What is my next course of action? I have already CCA requested C*apQuest, as detailed above, no response, sent the letter of failure, again as detailed above. Now the Abbey are sending me a statement?? I never asked for that! Is that basically a SAR?

 

Anyhow, I would read this as Abbey saying, in a nutshell, "we're not involved anymore, deal with CQ in future." Correct?

 

What do I do next?

 

Thanks

Thanks Dannyboy660

 

Can you (or anyone) just confirm what I have read, which is "Once a debt has lapsed, it cannot be revived - even through a subsequent acknowledgement or payment."

 

So basically, if the debt was SBd in 1994, and I made payment in 1995, does that payment "un"SB it? From what I've read in the quoted text, it doesn't "un" SB it. However, I thought any payment would "un" SB a debt.

Law relating to debts: statute-barred debts

 

"Within the original six years..."

 

Once it becomes SB it remains so.

 

 

 

Cerb beat me to it - but if the details you have given are correct, it might be wothwhile sending the SB letter to them because once you make it clear to them you are not going to pay they must stop pestering you. Unfortunately, it won't stop them fiddling with your credit files now you have (in their eyes) confirmed you are who they believe to be the person responsible for the original debt, by requesting the CA.

Had you told them to 'fornicate away' in the first place, or ignored them, they may not have bothered.

 

In fact, after such a length of time, it shouldn't be on your file anyway, so relax.

Thank you guys.

 

I honestly never realised that once it is barred, it remains so regardless. I can, therefore, confirm this debt IS definitely barred.

 

Just for your info, I sent this letter to them (hope I can post a link here)

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/571-failiure-to-provide-a-copy-of-the-agreement-within-the-prescribed-timescale

 

That went yesterday.

 

Once I receive this "statement" from Abbey, I shall repost on here.

 

Incidentally, I found the return address on the back of the envelope a bit odd. "Please return to CDR, P.O. Box 2768, Bristol, BS4 9DD" Google revealed it's not Abbey, but an address for (surprise surprise) C*apQuest. I am currently reading threads regarding CQ's attempts at "forging" demands/letters from the original creditors. The plot thickens!!!

Really! Small world! So would you know whether it is a CQ address?

 

I am (or was) more of a Totterdown wurzel so I couldn't be 100% sure, but I will be very tempted to take a look next time I'm back in that area.;)

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

HHmmmm...the plot thickens.

 

Quite tempted to get in touch with someone to investigate, who lives only a stones throw away.

Shame to be wasting stones when there are more effective ways to attract attention...... :)

Thanks cerberusalert. That makes me sick! Devious companies using illegal methods. I think the book should now be thrown at them. Letter M, any harassment letters recommended? And copies of all letters to the OFT and Hampshire TS. Boy am I p'ed!!

 

You have all been invaluable in your assistance and help. Thank you all so much.

Found LOADS of forums regarding CQ on other sites, just by a simple Google search. These guys are fraudsters, bullies and cheats. They continually phone using devious methods to obtain info. The "whocallsme" website is full of their numbers. Apparently the police are involved with them too.

 

I say this as a warning to anyone who receives contact from this shower.

 

DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM ON THE PHONE. GIVE NO INFO TO THEM. ALWAYS COMMUNICATE IN WRITING. ALWAYS ASK FOR A CCA, USING LETTER TEMPLATES HERE. CHANCES ARE IF THEY ARE CHASING YOU, ITS AN OLD STATUTE BARRED DEBT. LET THEM PROVE YOU OWE IT. DO NOT PAY ANYTHING TO THESE THIEVES.

 

I have not had phone calls yet, but continuing communication in writing. They will soon be reported to the police, OFT and TS. Oh and the FOS.

 

Don't fear these people.
