    • It’s all with current lenders and no missed payment to date. so with any reduced payment to them it’s likely to be going to debt collectors at some stage. we jointly own a property together me and my partner 
    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also. 
    • Depends on whether part of the roof needs to be replaced and whether it is a standard roof type,  but the works should only take a day or two. Someone I know had a whole semi-detached roof replaced in about 12 hours. Suggest you put it in writing to the business about the issues you mention in your post.  Also as business premises, you could also apply pressure by contacting local Council if necessary. 
    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.

    • 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.

Hi

regarding Bryan Carter Solicitors,

I had an outstanding debt after being made redundant in 2006.

It was for a car loan with Cooperative Bank for £3.000 and I only had £640.00 left to pay.

This went through county court who ordered I pay £210.00 through a bailiff ,this only has £30.00 remaining to pay this month.

Suddenly yesterday I got a letter from Bryan Carter saying they wanted me to pay the remaining £430.00 or they will be instructing bailiffs and taking back to court!!

Surely you can not go to court twice for the same debt? Or that's what I would have thought.

Out of panic I did call their office and a snooty woman informed me that they only took me to court last time for part of the debt.

I asked for a copy of the previous court referal letter as I never saw the original as it went to my old address.

She advised they would not have copies after all these years.

Can anyone advise me on this as I don't understand and a bit confused.

Thanks

Shame you didn't record the call - it's proof that they are FULLY AWARE they are deliberately splitting claims and are threatening you with further court action - which is illegal in this case. I feel Carter's house coming crashing down soon - I think we need to do a 'sting' with a Cagger they're chasing, record the call and get the sound file off the the OFT, TS and the SRA. Are you up for that chez63?

So have posted again as below.

Well two day's on from reading other peoples experiences and your brilliant advice.

Yet again all day Bryan Carter Solicitors have tried to contact me on my mobile whilst at work.

Unfortunately I can not answer their calls whilst working and was really annoyed by this, cos I wanted to tell them to get lost!!

Waited all night too for a call and it never happened...shucks....maybe tomorrow I can do it?

What really annoys me is the fact that they are using my number without permission and I did not confirm this with them, plus their stupid texts have kept arriving all day!!

Can someone please tell me who I need to report them to as I can not wait would like to see them done over once and for all...Please advise and I will be n the case as soon as possible..

Thanks

Bryan Carter is famous for attempting to split claims, he knows very well that it is in contravention of the County Courts Act, but works on the assumption that people don't know their rights. He operates via Northampton Bulk Court where there is no hearing, therefore he gets judgment by default without anyone intervening:mad:

 

Report him to the Solicitors Regulatory Authority - they will have already had plenty of complaints about him doing this.

 

Once you have paid the original judgment ask the court to send you a certificate of satisfaction - there is a fee for this but I can't remember how much it is, if you ring the court they will tell you. Once you have the certificate it will serve as proof that you have paid the court order in full. Should Carter issue a claim for the rest of the debt you would then put in a defence that the claim has been satisfied. The claim would then be transferred from Northampton to your local court and Carter would immediately withdraw the claim as he would realise he has been rumbled!

 

One day Carter will get what's coming to him and I hope I get to see it:mad:

i suggest that you include in your letter to the SRA that you are aware that this person has been engaging in this illegal activity for some time and that you believe he has previously been warned about it and that you expect the SRA to do something about it and not fob you off by pretending that they are unaware of his activities

 

the more pressure put on the SRA the better -

That's an interesting point diddy - has Bryan Carter EVER won a judgment without cheating? If he has, I can't find it on CAG!

 

 

If someone had then they wouldn't be on CAG anyway...

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)
