    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. 
    • I'd get back to them tomorrow, and explain the circumstances, that you have a wedding reception, and just appeal to their better nature. Hopefully they will be able to move sooner rather than later, especially if you go in in person and speak to them, and show them the issue.
    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • 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.

just received a letter from WF threatening me with legal action if I don't contact them with a payment plan. my 'account balance' and arrears figures stated in this letter just do NOT make sense at all.

 

I haven't been on here recently as I've been really struggling with my N1 form and as yet have not filed my claim. Am waiting to get paid so I can buy Patricia Pearls small claims book (looked on amazon and it's £30!)

hello!

so sorry I haven't been on here recently..I have had some family things to sort out :( which has meant everything else has taken a back seat

 

ok,so as yet no n1 form filed yet. have had some recent WF correspondence ie a default notice sent by them a few days ago and also a breakdown of all new charges(!) including a repossesion fee of almost £300.

 

I really really need some guidance with my figures as i feel overwhelmed by it all and don't want to file a claim that's unclear!

Hi,thanks for responding!

I haven't heard from these idiots for a while so it's a bit strange that they would start sending default notices now!

I have proof that I have paid the third in writing from WF and various statements from WF. I have checked my credit file with Equifax and have a record of all payments to WF with no defaults (does this count?)

 

No,I have not re written my agreement with WF.

It's ok, it needn't be a problem if you've already got all the info you need. You say you've checked your credit file, is there definitely only one welcome agreement on there that dates from when you took out the HP to the present date?? Sorry, don't want to seem like I'm doubting your word, just welcome have a nasty habit of rewriting agreements to suit their own needs. It's vital to your case that there was only ever one agreement.

Also, can you count the number of payments made as showing on your credit file?? Was it a 48 month agreement?

Definitely definitely definitely only ONE agreement! the agreement was for 48 months and yes can count the payments made. the total amount exceeds the 1/3 amount. I have checked many times :)

Oh and by the way, they can't send you a default now, the account was terminated so there's no obligation to make installments therefore no DN to show arrears :D

 

that's what I thought when I received it the other day :)
