    • I moved in November 2018. The date they have got is the 10/10/2018 (that's the date it says the agreement was entered into in the letter before claim). I have no idea what period the money owed covers. 
    • Irrelevant if its not in their particulars. Look the crux of the defence is that you are being billed for energy (most probably daily Standing Charge amount) after the previous owner left. So you want proof and dates from the claimant that pin points this debt was incurred by yourself after you took residence. Now we can throw in the the standard legal jargon that puts them to proof. The claimant is an assignee who bought the debt for pence from SSE/OVO they haven't a clue how it was incurred or by who and possibly wont have any paperwork to back up their pleadings. What did did you take residence...what dates are on the charge from when and to ?
    • Notify them of your new address when you move yes.  You should do this with all your creditors and twice with the DVLA (once for licence, other for car V5C) Limitation period is 6 years for private cases.  Don't worry about a CCJ. They're a punishment from the court. For that you'd have to: Get a letter of Claim. Ignore that and get a formal claimform. Either not defend, not meet directions or go to a court hearing and lose (highly unlikely when following the advice here) Get judgement awarded against you Ignore this and not pay in full within 30 days. Only once all that has happened is a CCJ registered against you.  
    • Yes, you should tell them by snail mail if you move, just don't give them your email address. I think they have six years to pursue this, hopefully they won't. HB
    • Ok, thanks for this and noted. I am moving house in a couple of months - should I notify them of this? Is there a limitation period? I've never had bad credit and a CCJ could jeopardise my job for being a moral hazard.

    • 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.

Hello All,

 

 

I came across these forums when in googled "Apex credit management complaints".

 

So I registered.

 

I had an outstanding balance(over £5,000 less than £8,000) with my credit card but was unable to keep full repayments.I agreed to a payment plan with my credit card provider which i could afford.

Now they have sold my debt on to Apex.

 

I would just like to know.

 

credit card supplier sold on to Apex at a loss to gain a lump sum?

 

if the above is true why did'nt they offer me the chance to settle?

 

What exactly can a CCA do for me in this situation with Apex.

 

 

By the way i am not trying to avoid paying my debt,i just dont want to agree to anything with Apex until i am sure what my rights are and not be paying over the odds

 

 

Many thanks:)

First send them a CCA request to see if they are entitled to collect this debt & if it's enforcable. If they fail to provide it within 12 working days from receipt, or the CCA is unenforcable you can legally withold any payment until they do. Send it recorded delivery enclosing a £1 postal order. When you get a reply, scan it & remove any identifying details and post it back here where we can have a look at it. We'll advise you from there; http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter

It's a standard letter stating that they've requested the CCA from the original creditor, which is normal. If they haven't supplied it within the 12 working days from receipt of your request send this; http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/571-failiure-to-provide-a-copy-of-the-agreement-within-the-prescribed-timescale

"Managing expectations" is hogwash. They are required to comply with the law within a set timescale.

 

Debt buyers like Apex could avoid this problem by requesting copies of the original agreement for each debt when they buy it. Why doesn't the law require debt buyers to make some basic checks of the enforceability of each debt when they buy it?

Although I'm sure if debts were enforceable then the actuall credit card companies wouldnt be so eager to sell them at knock down prices :)

 

Personally I dont care if DCA's buy lots of duffers it makes life easier for us, the law says 12 days so 12 days it is, best Apex pull their fingers out and get working.

"We are limited on the number of requests we are able to send"?

 

what does that mean?

 

We can only write/call Egg so many times,no CCA! before we come back to you with same mantra?

 

Im hoping my request will be one too many !...the straw that breaks the camels back :)

Hello again,

 

I recieved another letter today in response to my Account in dispute letter,which i think was justified in sending due to the 12+2 days not being met by Apex.

 

CCA request sent- 12/11/09

Acc in Dis sent- 30/11/09

 

Any advice on my next course of action would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Typical Apex rubbish, the extra time limit which was 30 days was removed from the Act & they should know that. :rolleyes:

 

Ignore the idiots, you've put the a/c in dispute but it wouldn't do any harm to send a copy of that letter to the OFT and ask how can Apex be expected to abide by OFT guidelines when it is obvious that they are not even conversant with the CCA 1974 & its amendments.

Hello again,

 

Update concerning complaint made via email to OFT over last reply to me from APEX stipulating that APEX have a further 28 days (along with 12+2 days) to supply a "True" copy of CCA.

 

If someone could please advise whether I should pursue this?

 

 

All opinions welcome!
