    • There are 10 pages, and the other 9 are standard. E.g. ask me whether plea or not, my information etc. I would like to send another begging letter, but there’s no email address of the prosecutor.😭
    • correct thats all they are duty bound to supply. what else were you expecting it to provide? dx    
    • you seriously need to read up here then you'd know these answers. and TBH you are panicking about a nothing burger. the process they must follow is: send a letter of claim. ASK northants bulk to raise a court claim. IF IF IF you lose and a judgement CCJ is granted, THEN they have 6yrs to enforce said judgement, but ofcourse this is a debt regulated by the consumer credit act so there is NO right of forced entry even if they do return to court within 6yrs from judgement and again ASK the court to send bailiffs out. as for statute barring, the 6yrs SB starts ticking from the issuance date of the default notice+14 days or from the date of YOUR last payment/use of the credit...whichever is the LATER. the issuance of a court claim (regardless to if it progresses anywhere) stops the SB clock.
    • sorry but we need the full n244, their witness statement and ALL exhibits to one mass PDF please to properly advise. we do not need statements or blank forms or info leaflets. if Kearns have sent you their N180 then.... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/347310-legal-n180-directions-questionnaire-small-claims-track/#comment-5088148 3 copies yes to mediation (unless you filed our Statute Barred Defence OR this is a claim for a Private Parking Ticket) 1 wit you Suitability for determination without a hearing? no (that the issues are so complex they need to be argued orally') the rest is obv 1 to the court 1 to their sols (omit phone/sig/email) if no sols send to claimant 1 for your file ................. if they've sent an N181 please advise here. dx      
    • you dont have to await the 50% time to come, she could VT today and you hand the car back and then only have the remaining sum to the 50% mark to pay going fwd. just stopping paying is not really a worthy way forward, as if if if they were to goto court and attain a return of goods order, then she would be liable to hand the car back and have to pay the full sum on the agreement, just like if she were to let them just repo the car now, under Voluntary Termination, both of which you need to avoid...so do a VT ASAP. if she wants to keep the car, then do a time order. as for advice on other sites, which you should not be refering too anyway, use CAG, they always fall toward finance co's getting their maximum buck.

    • 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 Elizabeth,

You should write and say that the value that they are asking for is disproportionate to the offence. If they took it that seriously then they would have involved the police. Asking for such a ludicrous amount is unethical and immoral in my opinion. It all depends really if you did mean to take the item or if, like me it was unintentional. Whatever happens, £100 is way too high a price to pay.

hi Elizabeth

 

The family business in which I work is retail so I can see the situation from the other side, but I am on your side. You have already admitted it was wrong, and have learned from it. It is time to move on and stop beating yourself up. Look on the bright side; at least the cookie didn't find its way onto your hips!

 

From here on out it should be business. M&S chose not to take criminal proceedings and they did that for business reasons, not out of any compassion for you as such.

 

This business of civil recovery is all about two things, making money out of you and setting an example, and you should have no compunction in my view about avoiding that from happening, simply because it is a business matter and not criminal.

 

Whatever other CAGers suggest to you to get out of it as much as possible you should consider and follow if it seems like a good idea.

 

Any restitution you may want to make can be done after the event and could for example be a donation to charity (Find out what M&S gives to) or something like that if you feel you need to "re-pay". Or you could volunteer to help others as others on here are enriching their lives by helping you.

 

I hope other CAGers do not interpret my post as an endorsement of crime. This is trying to be about forgiveness and positive restitution. (Hope this lot doesn't sound too pompous!)

 

Anyway, good luck.

Thursday, 14 January 2010 Specialist debt litigation law firm Drydens has acquired commercial recovery specialists LCL Collections Limited and merged the business and its workforce into the Drydens practice. This brings the number of staff employed by the niche, top ranking firm to 165.

The move will provide a significant boost to Drydens’ commercial debt recovery offering and signals its intention to become a key player in the sector. Drydens already has a significant presence in the consumer finance recoveries market and the acquisition of LCL will provide instant strength in depth in the commercial area.

 

Drydens’ Executive Chairman Philip Holden explained, “Drydens has a small team servicing the commercial recoveries market and we identified this as an area with considerable growth potential. We already know the LCL team, their client base and their operating system which is the same as our own. There are a lot of synergies between our two businesses and it makes sound commercial sense to put the two together to create a sizeable business from which to grow. We believe our combined strengths will make a market leading proposition in this very competitive sector.”

 

Tim Pope, an Insolvency Practitioner and insolvency lawyer with LCL has transferred his insolvency law practice to Drydens taking on the post of Director of Legal (Insolvency). He will be responsible for developing an insolvency offering to support the firm’s client base.

 

LCL director Gerard Barron will become Director of Commercial Business with fellow LCL director Andrew Langton taking on the post of Head of Commercial Business.

 

“Being part of a larger organisation will bring lots more benefits and opportunities for our clients and staff and I am delighted with the move,” says Gerard. “There are many exciting development opportunities on the horizon for us and the new structure will enable us to seize these and build a business which delivers the best debt litigation solutions for its clients.”
