    • Hello all,   I ordered a laptop online about 16 months ago. The laptop was faulty and I was supposed to send it back within guarantee but didn't for various reasons. I contacted the company a few months later and they said they will still fix it for me free of charge but I'd have to pay to send it to them and they will pay to send it back to me. The parcel arrived there fine. Company had fixed it and they sent it via dpd. I was working in the office so I asked my neighbours who would be in, as there's been a history of parcel thefts on our street. I had 2 neighbours who offered but when I went to update delivery instructions, their door number wasn't on the drop down despite sharing the same post code.  I then selected a neighbour who I thought would likely be in and also selected other in the safe place selection and put the number of the neighbour who I knew would definitely be in and they left my parcel outside and the parcel was stolen. DPD didn't want to deal with me and said I need to speak to the retailer. The retailer said DPD have special instructions from them not to leave a parcel outside unless specified by a customer. The retailer then said they could see my instructions said leave in a safe space but I have no porch. My front door just opens onto the road and the driver made no attempt to conceal it.  Anyway, I would like to know if I have rights here because the delivery wasn't for an item that I just bought. It was initially delivered but stopped working within the warranty period and they agreed to fix it for free.  Appreciate your help 🙏🏼   Thanks!

    • Hi Guys, well a year on and my friend has just received this in the post today, obviously a little scared so looking for more of your advice.  Letter from the NCC dated 1-May-2024 is as follows.......   Before deputy district judge Haythorne sitting at the national business centre, 4th floor st Kathrine's house Northampton Upon reading an application from the claimant  it is ordered that  1. The claim be sent to the county court at #### (Friends local Court) Because this order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed.  A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order.  If the application is one which requires a hearing, and a) the party making the application is the defendant: and b) the defendant is an individual, then upon filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the defendants home court.  In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.    As a result of an order made on the 1 May 2024, this claim has been transferred to the county court at ##### (friends local court)

    • 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,

 

I'd love some advice please concerning this issue.

 

I sent a CCA request to Fairmile Limited Partnership c/o Triumph Asset Services in May 2007, and received no reply, until Feb 2008 when I got a "Final Notice of Intent" letter from AIC, acting on behalf of Triumph. I respectfully(!) reminded them that they had not complied with my original request, and sent a copy of my initial. Nothing until a few days ago, when the attached "Statement of Account" came through the post.

 

(1) Can anyone shed some light on what thisis? It refers on the top to "As required under Sections 77-78 of the Consumer Credit act 1974"

 

(2) They have taken the original £1 Postal Order OFF of the original outstanding balance (which I thought wasn't allowed, as it was payment for the CCA request)

 

(3) Is this even lawful to send this, as the account is in dispute as I have never received a CCA of any description?

 

(5) What would my best course of action be when replying to this?

 

(4) Can I / Who should I complain to about this, as it's starting to really get me down mentally.

 

I really appreciate any advice you can provide.

 

Many Thanks,

AG

It is just a statement. Send the "bemused" letter to them. They cannot enforce payment as the account is in dispute.

Bemused as in ".......failure to comply iwth the CCA request renders the alleged debt unenforceable" letter (i.e. the one I sent to AIC in May 2008, or another bemused letter; in which case, is there a temnplate for such a thing?

 

Really appreciate the help given on here

Hi Anon

 

As far as I know new regulations mean that you must receive at least one statement per year from whoever holds the account and that's all that seems to be

 

I think that as they seem to have failed with your CCA request they still haven't got much of a chance in proceeding and if they've taken the £1 off the account that's up to them but it doesn't count

 

Can i suggest that you remind them that account is in dispute and then let them stew, if you have your copy of the original CCA request send them that too for good messure

 

 

Good luck

Hi All

 

I am also having problem with Trimph. I requested a cca back in october 2008. This was the second request after they did not comply with my first request. I received a post from them today, since my request back in october 2008, in the form of 2 documents, a statement of account (the first ever) and a notice of arrears but no cca. My debt has now soared from 500+ to £1,031.75. They have been charging me interest at a rate of 26.400 per annum. When I first requested this information back in 2007 they initially told me that they do not give out such information. Hence, my reason for requesting a cca.

 

As this debt is now mounting I would appreaciate some advice as to what action I should take. I have already contacted the Financial Ombusdman who will be sending me a complaints form. But they said that I would still need to pay the debt. It's not that I do not wish to pay this debt but I think the interest is extortionate.Especially when they initially told me, when the debt was first passed to them, that they would not charge me interest. I have also learnt that even if they do not send me the cca they can still take me to court and I would have to pay all charges incurred. Is this so?

 

Please advice.

The FOS are out of order telling you that you have to pay :mad:The debt is in dispute until such time as they send you valid CCA, and while it is in dispute you do not have to pay anything. After 6 years from the last payment it will become statute barred.

 

Their attempts at adding unlawful charges are just an attempt to get you to pay up, a court would not enforce them.

Hi Huff/Puff

 

I am very grateful for your prompt reply. Is there anything I should do with regard to this debt? Should I send another request for cca? As I am very worried about this debt especially as it's increasing. Where do I currently stand. What can/should I do with regard to them taking court action, though they have not yet said they would do this. Also how does it affect my credit rating in particular if I want to get a mortgage?

 

Thanks again

No this is wrong..

 

Under a s.78 request they have to produce a copy of the original agreement many will send a copy made up from records but to enforce through the court need to produce a copy of the original with your signature

 

Send a dispute letter and don't accept any threats or bullying

They can take you to court at any time, however to enforce they would need to produce a copy of the executed agreement containing all the prescribed terms..

 

Right now they haven't even produced a poor copy of an application form..

 

Putting the account in dispute is your legal right after 12 working days following a CCA request and whilst in dispute they may not enforce the agreement

 

Enforce is a grey term and technically means through the court however the OFT says this also means trying to collect or default /terminate the agreement.

Have a look through these letters but no 20 is the one you want...

With the greatest resopect, if I could refer to my original posting, doesn't the fact that they took £1 off the amount affect the statutle of limitations, as they could now say that I made a payment and the clock gets reset to this date?

 

I think the fact there is no valid CCA after this time means they may not be a position to do much, but I'm mightily p****d off that they continually flout the regulations without any respect for us or themselves.

 

I would like to go to the appropriate authorities, but would very mch like some guidence on who and how this can be achieved.

 

Thanks again,

AG

What they do with the pound is up to them. But make sure that you keep a copy of the letter requesting a CCA, that way if they ever did try to be naughty in court and say that you made a payment, you will be able to show that you didn't. But, as things stand, there isn't any action that you can take, because they haven't actually done anything wrong, at least as far as the pound goes.

Hi AG

There are very many threads on here that have contained exactly the same thing, DCA has put the £1 fee against the outstanding account but don't worry as has already been said that will not affect anything as the £1 is a statutory fee for their compliance

Good luck
