    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all

    • 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.

Send Subject Access Request as you have been told, enclose £10 P.O., SEND RECORDED DELIVERY, inform capquest that you have sar!d to the originator who have 40 days to respond, (this should include assignment/CCA/correspondence /default notice/termination letter.for the account, when was your last payment made to the bank) never admit anything at this stage.?? The need others are trying to help you with is the true state of your account and ways of finding out, so do not rush into a worse situation, Remember the GOLDEN RULE, DCA!s are out to make money lies can be told & are do not believe everthing they say, always correspond to them in writing, if you have to but ask on here before writing to them.

monthly benefits will become payable for each complete 30 days you are unemployed up to a maximum of 12

Think we need some more info from the OP regarding this issue.

 

I'm assuming from Akumas last post that they werent aware of the insurance and hence never made a claim?

 

I figure if CQ are chasing just over 3k and theres in the region of 3k to recover from mis sold PPI and interest charges it may be the simpler route to get the balance written off without the need to litigate.

 

I can only assume CQ have bought another pup :D

Agree, but it just goes to show how these companies slip in the PPi without people noticing, Akuma has this PPI on his agreement and has paid and doesn't know hes got it.

Am I right in thinking that there should be a separate agreement for the PPi and that it shouldn't be added to the CC agreement

Think you may be refering to S.18, multiple terms incorrectly stated within the agreement.

 

Should be some useful stickies at the top of the PPI forum

The first thing you need to learn when dealing with DCAs is that:

 

1) They lie, all the time

2) Most of their threats are just hot air to try and get you to pay.

 

If they had everything in order then they would have taken you to court already. The fact that they haven't is quite informative in itself. Have you ever had a notice of assignment from anyone?

Auma Do you realise that you had unemployment insurance, you should be taking notice of the advice here and read all the posts, this PPi could be your way to clearing this debt

Hi Akuma

 

Good advice from H&P and Hardup

 

Some essential reading here........

 

PPI - rules before 2005 - How to tell if you?ve been mis-sold PPI - Your money - Which? Advice

 

Try to have a good read of this and other threads in the PPI forum so you have a good understanding of your claim against the OC (original creditor).

 

CQ can wait in the wings until you resolve this issue. General rule of thumb with a DCA is to ignore until they come up with something new - probably won't be until after the first 10 template threats :p

I have never had notice of assignment from any of the Credit agencies as far as I can see. I usually place all documents inside a folder and no its not in it.

 

Would imagine they are as rare as hens teeth

 

Usually equitable assignment (duties but no rights) to begin with followed by a hastily drawn up deed 48 hours prior to litigation.

 

To be honest, not something to get too hung up on at the moment.The SAR should bring this to the fore.

 

The quickest resolve is by reclaiming your PPI from the OC.

 

Post a new thread here......

 

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) - The Consumer Forums

 

Repeat the info you've already given regarding the insurance and the knowledgable folk who have had success will give you all the pointers you need.

 

Never actually seen a failed claim on here yet so there should be plenty of feedback on your post.

 

I use this format for SAR now and it seems pretty concise:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Data Protection Act 1998

 

 

 

 

 

Date.............

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account number .........................

 

 

 

Please supply me with all data that you hold on me. This includes in particular, but is not limited to, the following:

 

 

1. The original signed, executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

 

 

2. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account.

 

 

3. True copies of any notice of assignment and default notices or enforcement notice that you have sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

 

 

4. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable). Total rebate value issued at termination (if any).

 

 

5. Details of any collection and/or default charges added to the account; specifically, the date they were levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charges were calculated, and what the charges cover.

 

 

6. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

 

 

7. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

 

8. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

 

 

9. Copies of statements for the entire duration of the credit agreement.

 

 

10.Termination notice.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE that unless otherwise stated by yourselves and if the above documents are NOT provided, it will be CONFIRMED that you are unable to reproduce/provide in any way shape or form any copies of the above requested documents. You are reminded that you have a duty to inform me if you do not have the above documents. This is confirmed in High Court Law - Ezsias v Welsh Ministers - [2007] All ER (D) 65 (Dec).

 

 

You are reminded that you are obliged to supply all the above documents in line with the Information Commissioners Technial Guidance update (Dated August 2007).

 

 

I enclose the statutory maximum fee of £10. You have 40 days in which to comply.

 

 

If there is specific information which you require in order to satisfy yourself as to my identity, please let me know by return. However, please note that the above address is the one which you normally use to communicate my private business to me and which you have hitherto found to be acceptable.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

If you haven't had a NoA, you can write to Capquest, if you feel you must write to them, and say that you don't accept that they have any right to collect this alleged debt. They will no doubt forge one, which can be another line of defence that you can use in the future. And should keep them off your back while they deal with that request.

Thanks Huff&Puff and all.

IS there a letter template that I can write to CapQuest with?

cheers

 

Akuma

 

Not sure there is a template or indeed any obligation for them to send one, the onus is on the assignor to issue hence the SAR to the original creditor. The only time you could enforce disclosure would be under CPR provision but it could be a costly excercise.

 

You can ask by all means by referring to the law of property act but you'll be highly unlikely to get a response of any kind.

 

I'd concentrate on the PPI and clear the debt that way

I agree with that really. The only reason I suggested writing was that Akuma was worried that they might start legal action. At least writing keeps the dispute rolling for a bit longer, and also give CrapQuest an opportunity to give themselves more rope with which to hang them.

 

Akuma, only write to them if you feel that you must, the SAR is the important thing. But all you have to say is something like "I did not receive a Notice of Assignment, and I do not recognise your right to attempt to collect this alleged debt". Make sure you put "I do not acknowledge any alleged debt to your company, or any company that you claim to represent" on all correspondence.

Hi Huff & Puff

 

To be honest I've used the following with a couple of DCA's thats pretty much a put up or shut up.....

 

I am bemused by your claims of indebtedness as I have no record of a lawfully terminated agreement with said OC........but to assist with your investigations I will oblige by corresponding with the alleged OC in order to effect disclosure of all information by way of Subject Access Request.

 

You'll not get a response but it serves as a paper chain should it ever lead to litigation.
