    • yes they mostly would be enforceable, but that wasnt the point. even if they get a CCJ the very worst they could have done is get a restriction k which is useless to them. doesnt hurt anything. the CCJ would remain on file for 6yrs yes, but then gone same as a DN. the rest k charge does not show at all. and even so, the idea was to get your debts issued a default notice ASAP, them RESUME payments.. the advise is NOT conflicting, just you don't read things properly or understand.  oh well. dx
    • This is the dilemma I had then and still have it. The bit that stopped me was the post 2015 comments about them being enforceable now in most instances which I feel hasn’t been answered unless I am missing something. the bonus I guess is not all credit agreements now will be chasing me so less people chasing me down so to speak. this is the problem as there is conflicting messaging out there it is hard to plan a strategic way forward 
    • In 2017 my wife was given PIP and I finally, officially, became her carer. In 2019 she was reviewed and we were told it would be done by phone to make it easier for her as she has mobility issues and anxiety. The review was very simple, Has anything changed? No, ok, we'll stay as you are then. In 2022 a second review, this time by phone again but with an awkward given at the end for 5 years. Today, we got a new review letter (I know wait lists are bad, but I dont think the wait will take til 2027 for a decision). We're a bit confused because it's a letter, not a phone call as before. The form is just questions that ask "has anything changed" Now, since 2017, nothing has changed except we had our home adapted via disability grant. This was noted in the phone calls. So we should really write that nothing has changed in the last 2 years. The adaptations have been mentioned in both previous phone reviews, but not in writing so I guess we should bring it up. But we feel that they want us to explain everything as if it were a new claim again... And are worried if we miss something in the original claim or the phone calls she will risk losing part of the award (a 2 point swing could be really bad) It does just say "has anything changed?" But in dealing with ESA prior to getting PIP, answering the question asked "has your condition worsened or improved" at a review process with a simple "no, I'm still the same" somehow led to ESA ending and needing appeal. So just want a bit of guidance. How much detail is needed? Is minimal ok? Or should we be blunt with the fact nothing has changed, and bullet point the things she struggles with in each section?   I know the obvious thing is to just explain it all,but over 10 years the sheer amount of times the poor woman has had ESA or PIP stopped/refused just because something was missed out in their report, or they felt it meant a new claim should be made, or that they judged her healthy because we missed a tiny thing in our forms. During COVID it finally seemed like it was all just going to be smooth, especially with the phone reviews and the 5 year reward, but here we are. We just want to make sure we have the least chance to trip ourselves up, but making sure we have what is expected if you get me? I wish I still had a copy of the forms from 2017, because I could just verbatim copy them and add in about the adaptation, but (ironically) we lost our photocopies we kept of them when the house was being adapted
    • might of been better to have got them all defaulted 2yrs ago as we carefully explained before then you'd already be 1/3rd there and your current issue would not be one.    
    • No doubt the hotel will have security cameras on the floor you were staying to confirm or deny the allegation??   The only compensation you will probably get, which will be discretionary as a goodwill gesture, will be a credit voucher for the entire hotel group. Very much doubt anything more than that as you have not substantiated, the hotel committed the transgression

    • 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 Jo,

 

I have been folowing your issues, since you first posted on GT with great interest. As your situation and involvement with CQ is simalar to mine. Infact your determination inspired me to fight also, with some success.

 

You now appear, however, to be loosing confidence in your position. ....DONT LET THEM GRIND YOU DOWN. Remember, they have no more power or authority than the person next door and what would you say to them......Go forth.....Advise them they would get more reaction to their next letter if they personaly used it as a four cornered suppository.

 

You have in the past posted great advice and support, with confidence. Draw on that, get in control and stay in control, you know they dont like it.

 

Regards......Turnaround

Fraudualent deed of assignment (imo tho i will go to halifa today and see if they can shead any light)

 

the telecoms act 2003 - they keep ignoring my regests

 

and harrasment

I have a similar problem. Halifax show a Default and so do the DCA (Hillco). Neither have supplied the CCA, Default Notice or Deed of Assignment. Neither have removed the Default. I have sent them both the Statutory and Formal notices and time is expired. Where is the thread to enforce the removal? Can you really reclaim money paid, if they cant produce the docs?

Its WAR

UPDATE:

 

Ok so no further down the line as still waiting for DSAR info from NatWest so I can see how much I have paid CapQuest . I have called Natwest to see if they are dealing with it and surprise surprise they haven’t had it – mind your the royal mail tracking service says they haven’t signed for it so maybe it did get lost!

 

Anyway I have posted the DSAR again and hope sometime in the next 40days I can calculate how much I paid CapQuest and reclaim it!

 

In the meantime I have written to HBoS ‘retail fraud division’ who the alleged debts are with to verify that the odd looking deeds of assignment I have received are indeed correct and issued by Halifax as stated - there has been news of CapQuest providing fakes to get payments out of people before and as there are no dates and figures owed are incorrect I suggest that mine are also fake – I guess time will tell then I can report them to the police and hopefully use it in my case for a refund of monies paid + interest!

 

Halifax state on my credit file that the debts are partially settled, if this is the case I don’t see CapQuest have much of a leg to stand (I hope!)

I will be pursuing this - how ever i will be persuing the one CapQuest have registered to as they are in Default by non compliance with my CCA request - i'm looking forward to taking them down as they have treated me so badley sinse day one when they pretended to be a solicitors taking me to court!

 

This company are the pits.

 

They CANNOT register a second default on the account. You should write to them pointing out the detail of the first default and demand that they withdraw it within 7 days. If they fail to do so then you should write to the CRAs explaining what has happened and demand that they withdraw it. At the same time write to your local Trading Standards department complaining about the double default and their harassing behavior You do not have to put up with this and TS should act.

 

Finally complain to your telephone provider about the harassing telephone calls and ask them if they have the equivalent of BT's choose to refuse service. This will allow you to block calls from them.

Thanks Seminole!

 

i will write to Them today and demad they remove the default - however if i say this is as Halifax have already registered a default then this is admintting i aknowledge the debt surely?

Unfortunatly they only have my mobile number - i have no idea where it comes from and they call from several numbers and withhelds so not sure i can bar them all - i know if i report it to the police Vodafone will do their best to block them...maybe this is the next move!?

Make sure that the first sentence in your letter reads "No debt is acknowledged to your company". You can still be in dispute over the debt even if a default was previously registered.

 

You should not have to put up with harassing telephone calls of this nature. Take every route you can to complain about it. Vodafone may act. I doubt if the police would be interested. Howver, if they are abusive it would be a good idea to record the conversation so that you can prove this.

I have received a letter from the DCA Hillco saying that Halifax have removed their version of the Default report on my sons file, but Hillco wont remove their default report. Hillco have now sent the CCA and a statement of payments showing £1600 payments and leaving an unpaid debt of £2800. They havent sent Default Notice nor Deed of Assignment. The Default expires next year. I have sent Hillco two statutory notices to remove the entry, so can it be enforced and how?

Its WAR

we if you send them a CCA and they dont comply you can force them to remove it untill they come up with the info!

 

i dont think i'll have trouble removing the entry with halifax but i do think that CapQuest will be trouble! - however i know CapQuest are in the wrong and when i take them to court for my money back they will have to remove the default!

UPDATE:

 

Well as of yesterday Halifax has not complied with my DSAR request – however this morning I had a Special Delivery from them!

 

My statements for my Credit Card Account and the usual cover letter from N. J. Inett saying they do nothing for their £20 charges!

 

However they have not enclosed any statements for my current account nor any info on a loan which I have paid off!

 

I’ll be using the template letter to chase this up today, however…

 

…My credit card statements suggest I owe them money to the tune of £619.72 (which I’m not disputing minus) and my charges received are a tiny £80 lol, there is also payment protection every month of £4-5 which I’m sure I cancelled!

 

Worst of all is I managed to rack this debt up in a mere 6months – oh how naive I was when I was 18! The last payment was made in October 2002! I’ll address what to do RE: paying this back and indeed getting the £80 knocked off in due course however I don’t understand what all of my statements mean! They are as follows:

 

Opened December 2001

Normal Statements until October 2002 (including a payment plan at a reduced rate for some time)

October 2002 no transactions from then until present

Final Statement dated Jan 2004

 

Ok all the above is in order and makes sense to me however now it gets strange I have the normal statement format but they show this:

 

PRINCIPLE ABANDONED £510.95

INSURANCE ABANDONED £46.58

OTHER FEES ABANDONED £62.19

 

First off I don’t know what this means (tho imagine it means they have abandoned chasing me?) also it is repeated 10 times on the statement in that order with different dates 12th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 23rd, 24th, 25th, February 2004

 

This is then repeated on March 2004 through to December 2004 when the statements stop – they all have the three ABANDONED items on them showing 10times each with similar date increments on them, the end balances on each statement are all the same.

 

This makes no sense to me can anyone shead any light on this for me so I can plan my next move!?

hi,

 

I have had a similar response of 2 of my DCA's. Cabot sent me nothing other than a thankyou for my letter and they will investigate. Heard nothing for 2 months. Thensent them an N! askig for damages caused by them sharing my data and not providing my DSAR or CCA information

 

BTMK on the other hand sent me a oor copy of an agreement that I rejected as I couldn't make out any signatures and no deed of assignment. After a second letter from me rejecting the issue and not ackowledging the debt they has said they are passing it on to another DCA. (Who will very quickly end up in court).

 

I think we are starting to get ti them, keep chipping away.

 

I have to wait to Friday to see if my Cabot case is going to come to anything.

People who haven't made mistakes, haven't made anything!

Gee.. there are so many things on this post.

First, if Capquest have bought the debt, then the only thing you will get from them

will be details of their purchase of the debt.They will not receive the original contract-just a

deed of assignment and the right to claim from you the outstanding debt.

The deed of assignment,as you correctly state, should show the date they

acquired the debt, how much it was for, and how much they paid for it. If they

have tried to fob you off with their own version, you need to keep it as evidence

of possible fraud.

 

Second, You can and should ask them for a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) so you can ascertain if there are

unlawful charges and how much they amount to. Once you send the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) you

should inform Capquest that the debt is in dispute and be put on hold till settled.

 

Third once you know how much the debt was transferred for, plus how much you have paid Capquest, you will know how much you should now owe Capquest. Bear

in mind that though they can chase you for the full amount, as they have no contract with you, they cannot charge you interest nor collection charges. So

you need to write to them for a breakdown of payments received and the original

debt amount.

 

Fourth I know very little about the workings of cras, but if you speak with them,

they should be able to advise you on the action that you can take to remove the

defaults in view of the dispute. You can also ask them what offence, if any, capquest have committed by their action. And do this if you can before talking

to TS.

 

Fifth Complete a list of all the infringements carried out by Capquest like harassment possible fraud etc for TS but more importantly for the OFT. They are

the ones who can revoke their Consumer Credit Licence-a vital necessity for them.

To strike out the licence you need to show that Capquest are not fit and proper persons. And the guidelines according to the OFT are persons who -

 

[a] committed any offence involving fraud or other dishonesty, or violence,

(b) contravened any provision made by or under this Act, or by or under

any other enactment regulating the provision of credit to individuals or

other transactions with individuals,

© practised discrimination on grounds of sex. colour, race or ethnic or

national origins in, or in connection with, the carrying on of any business,

or

(d) engaged in business practices appearing to the Director to be deceitful or

oppressive, or otherwise unfair or improper (whether unlawful or not).

 

You might not be able to get them for fraud, but possibly deceitful is a safer bet.

I am sure you could find several acts that they have contravened under as

well.

 

The OFT revoke 20 to 30 odd licences per year including dcas, so don't think you are wasting your time. But start with TS first as they are already in contact-and

point out that they deserve to lose their Consumer licence..
