    • Hello, Just to check I understand things right, he moved to a nursing home, you then kept paying the rent for a period of time whilst you sorted his belongings. You have asked to give notice and asked for backdated payments of rent from when you first asked which went ignored? They are still taking rent payments.   Have I understood correct?   If I've got anything wrong please correct me.
    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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.

That made me laugh Andy!! Did they also give you the name of your personal representative who would be dealing with your case in the legal section?!! Anyway, if they've got any sense they will await the outcome of PT's case which unfortunately, has been put back until 4th June but will establish a precedent for these agreements.

 

I did eventually respond telling them not to darken my door but only because I have children and don't want them upset. Haven't heard from them since but hey, if they want to waste money litigating when the outcome of PT's case is unknown, then so so be it!! :p

 

PS...how did you get them to stop ringing if you haven't contacted them? Or do you have TrueCall??

 

How did I stop them ringing ?... Easy..but not sure I should post my little secret on here......

Tell us your little secret, andy.. theyre getting on my nerves now. had another call 10am today. I sent that telephone harrassment letter yesterday recorded so they should have it today.

 

As for settlement figures - i hadnt really thought about it - its something i will look at if things dont go to plan with validity of the agreement.

Anyone contemplated putting in a full and final settlement offer before the outcome of PT's case is known ?

 

I'm tempted to offer a low figure, less than 10%. After all surely thats prob what they paid Egg.

 

Andy

 

Personally, no Andy, although I agree Apex may be happy to get their money back. What I can't fathom out is why OC's don't just offer a similarly low F&F before selling the debts on. I think Egg, in particular, stink as arrangements to pay were in force on all of these cards and no prior warning was given. It may not be illegal but it's certainly unethical!! :mad:

 

To Mel...they appear to have stopped ringing me now...it just seems to take them longer than most to react to the harrassment letter. I imagine that they are deluged with correspondence, the likes of which has never before been seen at Apex!! :p

I totally agree, why didnt they just write and offer or maybe just hint that they would accept F & F's. I spose Egg would say that it was handy for them to offload all their 'bad' debts (yep..thats you and me!) onto 1 DCA.

 

Actually..maybe the 10% is a bit generous, I was thinking of that figure as thats what the DCA's generally pay the companies and I was thinking that maybe the outcome of PT's case might not be the one we want. Maybe I should write and offer 1%..they would keep them in bikkies n tea for a week or so.

I used to think the same about Link as they weren't a million miles away from me. It's up to you Zhanzhibar but I personally sent them the standard letter telling them not to visit or call.

 

If you think about it logically, it costs them money to send someone out and, in reality, I imagine their success rate with Caggers in particular, is not very promising!!

They dont always call themselves anyway, sometimes if they are not based near they employ other minions to do the calling, anyway the end result is the same, they have zero powers, its upto wether you tell them to bog off, shut the door in their face, or politely listen to what they have to say....just make sure they know that you are well aware of the law, many DCA's like to pretend they have bailiff like powers but hey..we are smart CAGgers and can see through their lies :)

Hi Mel...the first letter you can just ignore.

 

The second letter...well, let's just say that she is talking out of her posterior end!! I'm still not sure what she's trying to say exactly.

 

Yes, your agreement would have been regulated at the time by CCA74 and associated legislation. However, it has been superseded by 2006 although some of the changes cannot be enforced retrospectively and are specified as such.

 

Nonetheless, CCA74, section 78 states:

 

78.—(1) The creditor under a regulated agreement for running-account credit, within the prescribed period after receiving a request in writing to that effect from the debtor and payment of a fee of 15 new pence, shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement (if any) and of any other document referred to in it, together with a statement signed by or on behalf of the creditor showing, according to the information

to which it is practicable for him to refer,—

(a) the state of the account, and

(b) the amount, if any, currently payable under the agreement by the debtor to the creditor, and

© the amounts and due dates of any payments which, if the debtor does not draw further on the account, will later become payable under the agreement by the

debtor to the creditor

 

Am I right in assuming that she is trying to say that because of this clause, (which, I hasten to add, only relates to a consumer requesting a copy of their agreement and not to the format or content) they don't have to have the prescribed term "credit limit" in the original agreement as it would have been nil at the time of opening?

 

I am so astonished by the ignorance of this reply!!! :mad:

Yes :) welshmam - thats how i read it too.. there were other flaws too such as no cancellation terms on the agreement etc but i never specified anything, i kept it vague. She has assumed its just the credit limit i am querying.

Had a letter dated 25 March from Apex...

 

we regret you have not cchosen to contact us despite previous attempts to contact you, we would like to assist you in making a satisfactory arrangement to settle this acount without legal action.

 

Due to the serious arrears on your account failure to pay or make contact within 10 days of this letter will result in your account being passed to pre-litigation assessment. We wil conider legal enforcement of the debt against your property..

 

Please contact us immediately blah blah....

 

 

Ok, so i'm not sure where to go from here.. shall i ignore them, send them another 'in dispute letter' or write to them listing the flaws on the agreement? Are they allowed to threaten my property (even though they cant do anything as its rented) ??

 

Any advice appreciated :)

Ive typed up a letter to send today.

 

Stating i have not ignored them, i have responded many times to their threats.

Reminding them that ive twice told them the account is in dispute for various reasons.

Reminding them that they are constantly harrassing me by post for this debt when they do not have the correct documents.

Advising them they cannot enforce debt against my property as its rented and again becos they dont have the docs.

Finished with telling them i would be happy to attend court should they wish to proceed and can they send me the relevent court details.

 

after this i will ignore them unless i get something other than crappy threats or demands

we have endeavoured to contact you a number of times,you have ignored us blah blah we are placing this with litigation.

 

It then goes on to threaten an order of court, bailiffs, warant of execution, walking possession order etc etc...

 

the good news is i still have time to avoid this process if i call the office now!! :rolleyes:

 

 

has anyone had this letter from apex yet and can they do anything of what theyve threatened? I'm thinking no but was wondering what others who are in this position are doing ??

Quote by OFT:

"No communications or requests for payment should in any way threaten court action or other enforcement of the debt where the creditor or owner is aware that it cannot or will not be entitled to enforce."

 

The OFT then went further, insisting that communications with the debtor should in fact make it clear that the debt is unenforceable."

thats interesting, angry cat..

 

i have stated in at least two letters that it is unenforcable although ive not given my reasons. They are assuming its just the ''approved limit'' wording which it is but there are also other flaws..

Blah blah...if you look in some other threads you'll see that I and others have had all these threatening letters then suddenly they real;ise theyve peaked and that the endless threats of court action are all bluff,lower the tone a bit and start waffling on about how someone may visit, Ive ignored that and lo and behold what a suprise..nothing..not even a friendly visit from Mr Apex.

Yeah, just ignore them Mel like Andy says.

 

Perhaps we should start a thread with all the standard Apex letters so that those of us who are not as far ahead in the bullying process will know what to expect next!! :p

Hi Mel,

 

I received yet another copy of the "we regret you have chosen not to contact us" letter again today.

 

When I complained about the CCA they sent me, they put the account on hold. Then they sent a second copy of the CCA telling me that as far as they were concerned, it is enforceable :lol: and they would begin collection activities again.

 

I guess that this must just be the standard letter that they send out every time they recommence collection activity and you refuse to answer the phone!

 

Hangus.
