    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS and wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided?. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.
    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?

    • 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.

OK Guys

 

First thanks for all the postings having more and more even if on some occasions it gets a little heated makes interesting reading and I am sure others will benefit. Personally for me its facinating to read even if it drills down into the nitty gritty.

 

Just an idea before suggesting any removals, which I dont agree with because I know I will want to read this whole thread a few times over the next few months. Reading something now only to find its not there at a later date is going to be weird.

 

I wouldn't want to allienate anybody and I am very grateful for all the contributions. I hope others can get something positive from all this as well.

 

 

Steve

Got some good news today Newmans are threatening me with a statutory demand they tell me they have looked into my position and apparently I have assets so making me Bankrupt is an option. My position 2 days ago was that my Mortgage is £166k my house was worth about £140K I am out of work and have no money. But they have either found a buyer for my house greater than my Mortgage or are about to offer me a Job. According to them I have assets. The really good news is this could save me the £450 I was thinking of scraping together to Bankrupt myself as my Plan B. So if they do it for me I save £450. Now please don't add to this thread about how bad these guys are they only want to help and at the end of the day £450 is £450 not to be sneezed at, I could use this money to pay off some of my other creditors.

Hi Steve - mainstream unsecured creditors holding consumer credit licences or debt collection agencies acting on their behalf are not suppossed to use tactics like that. It is more likely to be a threat to cajole you into doing something. They are unsecured and threatening to cause the sale of you home would be seen as unacceptable by the OFT who may even fine them or refuse to renew their licence. The lowest amount they are legally required to accept is £1 a month as a regular payment, thus if you send them a regular minimum payment each month they would propbably accept it. If you are challenging the enforecability of the agreement you can still carry on paying while also challenging. Another option would be a debt management plan run by a charity or company which would act on your behalf using their experience to strike a deal they are almost duty bound to accept. I used to get all these problems until I enteed a DMP now I dont get any hassle at all. Everything is under control.

Hi Captain thanks it's under control I am fighting it all the way.

 

IF it got that far when a poperty is jointly owned and in negative equity as per a friend of m ine who has recently gone through it the other owner can buy the stake in the property for £1 so it's OK. I was just being a bit relaxed by posting this because they haven't done any checks otherwise they wouldn't send the threat. So it kind of proves how much of a spineless threat it was.

 

Onwards and upwards:smile:

Hi there you wont need to go there if you just simply pay £1 a month - please dont let them take your house or your share in it for the sake of such a small sum being offered - they are obliged to accept any payment over £1 but does not stop them asking for more - you are on benefit so that should be sufficeint for the court to agree (if it ever gets that far) the payment if they press on with a bankruptcy they are in serious risk of being de licenced and fined. Creditors in the credit industry are supposed to operate fairly if you cant pay declare your income and outgoings and they really are obliged to accept even though technically they could make you bankrupt (as long as the sum is over approx £700 I think).

Hi,

 

I have an Amex card (nector) and have been through hell and back with the companies that they employ when you default. I wrote to them last year as with all my creditors and had no response.

 

I was the chased by a company which evenutally paased the case on to Westministers Solicitors- at this point i appointed my own solictor as they were not responding to my letters.

 

The solicitor asked for the CCA but never got a reply back- this was in March 2009. I now have recieved a letter from Amex offering a reduced settlement figure.

 

My question is have they not already defaulted by not providing the CCA agreement when it was asked for? or can they still chase this and go to court?
