    • depends what the fees are, typically nothing can be added once judgement is passed bar litigation costs. on document retention time limits etc at least 6yrs previous must be held though many hold complete info. as for acronyms and abbreviations ideally yes they should     
    • Still have to submit a statement either system....if they fail they can only give verbal because they failed to file and serve.
    • OP stated they had been arrested, but not charged (let alone convicted). They DON'T have a criminal record, but do have an entry on the PNC. That information stays on the PNC (Police National Computer) for life, but doesn't get released in a standard DBS. It only MIGHT get released for an Enhanced DBS (eDBS) check  ... but it would be incredibly unlikely. (The rational behind this is that eDBS's allow for 'information at Chief Officer of Police's discretion' ..... this covers the 2 'barring lists' and is also intended for the scenario where someone has multiple arrests or investigations, where safeguarding is a concern .... it was brought in after the Soham murders / Ian Huntley case, where the information known about the now-convicted child murderer may have prevented his employment in a school, had it been made available). So, for the sake of accuracy and completeness, arrests stay on the PNC for life, wont appear in a standard DBS, MIGHT appear in an eDBS, but in reality, would be the exception rather than the norm, and I can't see them being released  to a defense barrister. What then if the defence found out a different way, and brought it up in court?. Again, unlikely, but the important feature is that the judge would make sure they trod very carefully!. They MIGHT consider using it if there were other factors that allowed them to try to cast doubts as to the truthfulness of your evidence, but on its own : No way. Anyone MIGHT be arrested (if a seemingly plausible complaint been made against them)! The approach to take if it did come up is to be truthful. "Yes, I was arrested. It arose from a vexatious complaint. I wasn't charged, let alone convicted. That could happen to any one of us, if a vexatious complaint gets made" Far better that than lying, saying you'd never been arrested, and getting caught in a lie : that would ruin your credibility. I'm incredibly doubtful it will even come up, though.
    • we dont get N157 because its new OCMC but no court dont have evidence either.   Just seems a bit of a pointless wait but oh well

    • 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.

Quick background:

I CCA’d MBNA Virgin and received my credit agreement. Unfortunately for me, it is enforceable.

I have paid up my arrears and have restarted my monthly repayment agreement to avoid further action.

My circumstances currently are that I am out of work and seriously considering "signing on" but I probably won’t because I never have and I am confident that I will find something in a month or two.

Before I write to Virgin/MBNA, I wanted to seek advice from my fellow Caggers regarding my intention pay them less each month.

My current plan is:

1. Write to them and explain my circumstances and offer what I can currently afford monthly.

2. Cancel my direct debit and simultaneously set up a Standing Order for a quarter of what I am currently in agreement to pay them monthly.

I guess if I can’t pay then I can’t pay and there’s nothing much they can do about it. I assume they will ask me to fill in a financial statement but I know that legally I am not required to do this and frankly, I don’t want to.

Is this the right path? Possibly trying to avoid a DN, although I have a collection of DN due to my other unenforceable agreements – so one more really won’t make much difference.

Or should I just not pay and after several threats, call the number and negotiate, hoping that they will agree a lower payment?

I want to try and be in control of the situation even if there is an enforceable credit agreement in existence. Anyone know the best plan of action for me? Thanks.

Just explain your circumstances, ask them to freeze interest, also I would sign on and if nothing else that will keep your NI contributions up to date.

There are template letters on here or the CAB may be able to help

Just explain that you cant afford payments the hard bit is done ,stopping the interest.

Offer them £1 a month see what they say. If you aren't employed they will have to accept that or nothing, remind them nicely and not in a threatening way that no court would make you pay what you can't reasonably afford. Have you got any PPI on the cards that may bail you out. keep a paper trail to show a court if it ever gets that far that you have tried to co operate

That's great thanks. I guess I wanted to hear it from someone else! Will write to them and cancel my DD and set up a standing order.

Why not post up what you have removing personal stuff and any barcodes I don't thinkl the lack of page numbers will help you as long as the prescribed terms are contained on 1 page.

stating that they are only acting on behalf of OC and that the CCA must be requested directly from OC.

 

In my CCA request I stated that "if you are not the creditor, s.175 of the CCA 1974 applies in the case of a simple assignment and places a duty upon you to pass this to the creditor..."

 

I don't want to purchase another £1.00 PO and write to the OC because the DCA is now chasing the money. Any suggestions on what to write back? Can I resend them the PO and bring to their attention s.175 as typed above?

 

This isn't a SAR request where I have to always write to the OC. Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • 2 years later...

I received a letter from a solicitors today demanding payment (£8,342) in full and a form requesting financial details.

 

I know that there is no legal obligation for me to return them the filled in form,

however, my instinct is telling me that are after a charging order.

 

I believe the credit card CCA is enforceable. (debt is from 2007), I will post a copy it later.

 

I live with my partner and our 3 very young children – all under 6 years old. The house is in my name with a mortgage.

 

I have been reading.. and reading… as it stands,

when a debtor has a CCJ and is paying in installments set by the court,

then a creditor may not pursue a charge on a debtors property BUT from 1st October,

that protection will no longer exist.

 

Once a CCJ is obtained, then even if a debtor is complying with the terms of the court order, (or even an IVA),

then a creditor can still look to enforce the debt via a Charging Order.

 

My question is:

How can I protect my asset, my home?

Is it easy to transfer the deeds to my partner?

I would need the blessing of my mortgage company, but how do they view such a request?

Are they common?

My partner’s credit is very good.

 

What worries me is the thought that they will bypass me,

ignore anything I have to say and just go straight for the throat and get the CCJ/Charging Order.

 

I can not afford the repayments they would probably want,

but my point being they will take the payment and pursue the CO anyway.

 

Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

Thanks for the housekeeping dx

 

Interesting entry on my CRA file.

MBNA states Default (satisfied) Default date end 2009.

 

Then I have another entry under a new DCA (Arrow Global) for the same amount. This is the DCA that has passed me to Restons Solicitors as handpicked for litigation.

 

No PPI ims21 and I have a few very old statements going back 2006/2007
