    • 3 threads merged for complete history of your debts. i suggest you re read from post 1 again. what are you doing still blindly paying a DCA on a historic debt?  
    • Hi, I have an old outstanding debt from 1994 due to MBNA for £20,000. The debt has been passed to various DCAs and is currently with PRA Group.  I sent them a CCA letter in January 2024. They acknowledged this letter and stated they would come back when they had more information, however the information did not arrive within the 12 working day scenario.. I have just received a copy of the agreement which goes back to 1994 from them. In their response letter they have stated " Please find enclosed documentation received to date: we are waiting further documents in order to complete your request. We have currently deemed this debt as unenforceable which means we are not able to take court or further action against you to recover the outstanding balance". They then go on to state "we are still legally entitled to:  1.Contact you to ask and repay what you owe 2.Pass your details onto a third party collection agency 3. Continue to report your account with the credit reference bureaux (as appropriate)". I'm at a loss as to what I should do next and would appreciate any guidance on this matter. I am currently paying £5.00 pcm. TIA

    • 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.

Please help - capquest not giving up

 

 

Hi all, have sent capquest the bemused letter and told them to send it back to capone - in line with other 'agreements' posted on the forum.

 

However I have just received a letter from them :-

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Further to your recent correspondence.

 

Please find enclosed copy document(s) as requested. (I didnt request it, I told them the account is in dispute) If you are not currently repaying this account on an agreed arrangement, it is now imperitive that you deal with this matter immediately by sending your payment directly to:

 

PO Box 396

Fleet

Hampshire

GU51 2WJ

 

Payment can be made by cheque or postal order ensuring that you quote your reference number clearly on the reverse, or alternatively you can pay by debit or credit card by telephoning: 0870 084 3530.

 

CapQuest have the facility to set up a direct debit mandates (minimum £5) and you would therefore be required to telephone the above number and have your bank details available when you call.

 

We have placed your account on hold until ** may, if we do not receive contact from you by this date, your account will be passed to our Collections department for further action.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Took them 3 days from writing to putting it in the post 2nd class. Have until Monday to contact them.

 

Also enclosed was the 'agreement' as in the scan #1, which I have disputed, I have scanned this again as below. Any help in getting this sent back to capone would be greatly appriecated.

 

capone have been told countless times its in dispute and they have ignored my cpr 31.16 request for the agreement.

What they have sent is not enforceable as it doesn't have any of the prescribed terms

 

Thanks Steven,

 

Will be sending Capquest suitable letter tomorrow telling them (again) to send it back to capone.

Well despite my second (stronger worded) letter to capquest, this morning I received a template plate in response to my 'what the **** are you do with this send it back to capital 1'

 

"we acknowledge your letter and have passed it to our client for consideration"

Share on other sites

Received yet another letter from capquest with capital one response.

 

In a sepertate letter from them was an I&E form to complete and return.

 

Crap1 do not consider the account in dispute, according to them all I have complained about is D2D collection visit, capquest told to collect as normal - how wrong they are !

 

Copying my dispute letters and cpr 31.16 letter and sending it to them.

 

Just how much does it take to get these muppetts to pass it back to crap1?

Technically, of course, they have complied with your s78 request so the account is not in dispute on that basis. If you are questioning the balance (eg because of charges) then you can put it in dospute on that basis. I think you may need to clairify with them - sending the letter you propose will have that effect

Thanks Steven - although Iam a little confused now.

 

Your post #188 confirms that what C1 have supplied is not enforceable as there are no prescribed terms - this surely means the account is in dispute.

 

Yes there are charges on the account, not a great amount. Would you be suggesting that charges are the only reason to dispute the account?

I keep on pointing out that complying with s78 and producing an enforceable agreement are two entirely different things.

 

Sending an 'agreement' that complies with s78 means that they are not in default (the accoiunt is not in dispute) but what they send is often not enforceable.

Thanks Steven,

 

As Capital One have ignored my CPR31.16 after Debitas threatened legal action, and the 'agreement' does not comply with sections 60 & 61 of the CCA I take it that I will have to include the fact that there are unlawful charges in order to 'dispute' the account.

 

Secondly, as capquest are only acting as collectors for capital one , what right do they have in sending me an I&E form to complete?

 

have dug out the DN, it states the arrears amount to be paid within 28 days, would this statement be compliant?

 

Sorry, but I'm a slow learner

Yes, you should put in a claim for the charges whatever. If they start court proceedings, you can counterclaim

 

In principle, they should give an actual date - they have to give 14 days so 28 days must be safe for them

Sorry to butt in Beachcomber:oops:

 

Steven, on one of my other DN's (and obviously Cap1), they have the 28 days to remedy rather than a date. I'm a bit wary of this and feel a decent solicitor would not find it hard to persuade a Judge that this was ok (hadn't disadvantaged me etc). Other people on my thread though seem sure that as it's not to the letter of the Act that it's cut and dried (well, as much as it ever could be).

 

Do you have any opinions on this, as I can't shake the feeling that if I ended up in a courtroom offering only that as a fault, that I'd be on very thin ice?

 

Thanks for any thoughts.

Good on you Beachy!,I think you are douing the right thing! As at least by carryng on writing Dispute letters and putting in a cpr 31,16 Capquest will know you no pushover and know your rights and if they risk takeing you to court they got a good chance of looseing!You are doing the right thing as far as i can see in makeing sure that Capquest see you know your rights and they have not reeled in someone they can intimidate witha few nasty threatograms!:)

Im happy to help with support and my own opinions but as i have no legal qualifications If I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action,

Hi lexus, I have a cap1 DN which also states 28days from the date of this letter, however it doesnt have a remedy date. Where they state ' you must taken action BEFORE THE DATE SHOWN' but the only date is the date they typed the letter.

 

I think if I had to soley rely on that I would be on shaky ground ( even tho the regs say it must be'a date')but luckily for me the amount required is made up of charges.

Mornin' Lexis,

 

Not a problem - nice to get a few visitors drop in :)

 

I seem to remember seeing somewhere on the forum that a DN must have a remedy by date to be compliant and cannot state within 28 days.

 

Also I'am sure my DN isnt in the required format.

Hi Sunflower,

 

Fan Club been pretty quiet lately, wheres everyone gone?

 

To be honest I got very depressed last night, spent nearly nine months hammering away at Capone & fought off debitarse twice with the unenforceable 'agreement' & account in dispute basis only to learn from Steven that an unenforceable agreement isnt a reason to dispute an account.

 

Different frame of mind today - gonna be as persistant with them as they are to me, if crappywest is only a collecting agent then they can bog off and if they bought the account both they and crap1 are wrong as I have not received any notification.

 

Rant over - caffine intake time :)

Thanks for the reply BC:)

 

Don't get disheartened - just because you can't claim the account is in dispute (as they have supplied a CCA, albeit a bit naff), doesn't mean you're set back.

 

You still hold an unenforceable agreement - that's what's got rid of every DCA we've had so far (touch wood!). I see you've already said that to them, but maybe also saying the account was in dispute when technically it wasn't has muddied the waters a little. If you just get back to them and say the agreement is a dead duck, pass it back to Cap1 as you have no legal way of getting anything from me, end of discussion, you may get a different response?

 

Also, if you've not received notification just tell them you won't correspond any more until Cap1 have clarified matters for you, as you refuse to talk about personal matters with random companies claiming to know your details.

 

Now go and have that coffee:)

Hi Beachy!

Lexis is right! They may argue that they have responded to s78 request but complying with a s78 and being enforceable in court are totally different matters,If your cca is pre 2007 and not proprerly executed as to the prescribed tems and signature as laid down by 1983 consumer credit agreement regulations and s127 of consumer credit act 1974 they have problems!:D

Another letter from capquest - wots the freckin' 'eck are they & capone playing at!

 

Now they say :-

 

We have contacted our client regarding your earlier query (it wasnt, it was a complaint!), and they have responded as fellows:

 

"We can confirm that this dispute is resolved according to the dispute department. Please contact Capital One if you are still unhappy"

 

Please be advised that payment is now due in full.

 

Capital One have ignored every letter I have sent, so how can it be resolved.

 

Following threats of legal action from Debitas I sent a CPR 31.16 as THEY were threatening ME with court action which, as I understand correctly, ENTITLES me to the 'true copy of the executed agreement - this was completely ignored without any form of acknowledgement, good job it was sent recorded.

 

How can an 'agreement' with no prescribed terms not be subject to a dispute.

I am sure that the following doesnt just apply to MacKenzie Hall, no Creditor or DCA should be chasing an account if there is a legitimate dispute. Personally, I would print off the Press release and send it to Capital One.

 

The OFT has used its powers under consumer credit legislation to impose 'requirements' on Mackenzie Hall after an investigation found that some of its business processes failed to meet satisfactory standards. As a result of these requirements, Mackenzie Hall must not:
