    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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 All, first off, what a great site, keep up the good work, i dont think i could have got this far without it.

I hope someone can help, as i am now feeling so down and depressed about this case as its been going on for ages now, so the origanal bank says. (1989).

I am not very good at computers so please excuse all my mistakes and except my appolagies for my spelling and all the future muck ups.

First off my claim form from a collection company arrived @ my door step on 19/05/2009. i wont name the colection company as i belive they use the forum for information, if someone wants i will send all the information you request to help me.

 

It went to Romford count court in Jan this year, the DJ dismissed the claimants application and has sent me a general form of judgement or order form to fill in, with a list of documents: standard disclosure form to complete. it has also been fast tracked to the Mayor's & city of London CC, for May/June 2010

This is were i need help, and lots of it, the ammount they are claiming is quite considerable @ just under £19,000.00 :shock:

I also have to file my full defence by 4th Feb 2010 ???

 

If this has been posted in the wrong place could a mod please move it for me, many thanks in advance as i'm sure someone will be along to help ?.

Hi bazar,

 

There is probably some considerable help here, but you will need to give more information if you can :

 

On the original Claim form what were the Particulars of Claim ?

 

What did you send to the court in reply--- 19 May 09 till Jan 2010 long time to get to hearing---there must have been other actions in between?

Hi Bazbar,

I am no court expert but one thing occurs to me from the POC.

 

They are claiming a debt from 23/01/01

 

Have you made any payments since that date?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Hi Silverfox

Thats were the main problem is, i have/had 2 accounts with this bank.

1 i payed off in 1998/9, the other was a card account that i did'nt pay off.

In 2001 i payed 6 payments to them by mistake (small ammounts), as i thought i was paying for my other account. i payed by paying in slips @ a bank. When i relised what i was doing i stoped payments straight away, i informed them what happend & they said they would get back to me. They never did. As it was a small ammount of money i just forgot all about it. last payment to them was 26/09/2001

But what i did not realise untill recently is the account they say i still owe monies on is a diffrent account number to the one i payed off in 1998 ?.

And i cant ever remember having this account.

 

5yrs 6 months later i was made redundant, and stopped all my direct debits, i was in/out of hospital also with 3 heart attacks & 2 angioplasty opps.

I got home from hospital 1 day (08/09/2007) @ 4pm and was in bed, at 6pm a door collecter came banging on my door saying my account with so & so bank was in arrears and he was their to collect a payment or remove goods, so i gave hime a small ammount of money (£20.00) to stop the goods beign removed. During the next year i payed the door collecter some money, then i get a phone call from my card account holder saying that i am behind with payments, i explained to them that i was paying a door collecter, they said that they have not sent this out for collection ???

Stupid me have been paying this wrong account again. When the collecter called at my door he mentioned the bank account name which is the same name as my card account, thats what confused me. Stupid me i know but when you have been through what i have been through health wise i just didnt want any bother.

Now they say because i was paying them money i have admitted that this account exists & i am liable for it. even though they cant produce any form of credit agreement or strict proof i took this Loan out ?.

 

I have a letter from the bank in 1988/9 stateing a diffrent account number on it as this was the account that i payed off.

I have on many occasions asked them to show me any form of agreement but they cant.

I have just sent off a SAR (20 & 21 Jan) again to all the companies involved, but not received anythin as of yet.

 

In the 1980/90's i Banked with Barclays, running my current account, in 1999 i closed my bank account down with them and transferd my current account to another Bank. Barclays say they cant find any information regarding this very old account, i was hopeing i might be able to see if any payments came out of my account to the so call finance company who say i owe this money to.

 

I cant ever remember receiving any default notice regarding this. hopefully this time around they might send out all the info.

I have received my credit report and nothing is listed regarding this Bank.

 

This is so confusing my head dont stop spinning. Hope someone can help as i have to put together my defence by next Tue/Wed.

What else can i do ?

 

Thanks

 

Baz

Hi Baz, this all sounds very irregular and we need to get on top of it quickly.

 

You state you have sent a SAR off? First things first, did you send it recorded delivery and if so can you confirm proof of them getting it?

 

Please get back to me as soon as you can ok as quite concerned about this for you...

Excellent, you've made a good start. I may ask stuff you've already covered so forgive me if I do ok ;).

 

 

  • I take it you have acknowledged their claim?
  • I presume you intended to defend?
  • Is it one claim for a few accounts or a few claims, one for each account etc?
  • Can you confirm the last payment date for each account and can you evidence that with a statement for example?
  • Do you have any default notices that may have been sent in the past?
  • Do you have any letters of termination?
  • Any assignment letters from Debt Collection Companies?
  • Please confirm the date you need to have your defence submitted.
  • Have you double checked this date and sure it is correct?

That'll do for a start. Will wait for you again, if you need the evening to answer this that's fine. Better you answer with confidence so we know what's happening, the time is not critical yet ;)

All i know about CPR request isthat they have to supply you with all the information they hold on you.

I have been told that it was a rolling account that had £10,000.00 put into it ? so i suppose it comes under personal loan.

 

I am home from work now so i can be at the pc al lnight.

Ok, we need to tighten this up quickly. I will post a CPR template in the next few hours, possibly in the morning as I have to be out pretty soon.

 

When you get it amend as required, print out, send it recorded delivery as a matter of urgency and keep the proof slip.

 

In the meantime would you please answer my previous questions in the order asked, giving as much detail as possible. It's a pain I know but it is essential that anyone offering help can get up to speed on your case quickly and easily when they read through the thread to gather history.

 

It can be the difference between someone offering help and someone clicking on to someone else's thread - not good for you obviously.

 

Keep in mind that we do not have the knowledge of this that you have, we rely entirely on your communication and ability to convey whats happened ;).

That's great, thank you. Interested now in the doorstep collections. You stated earlier that when the claimant contacted you and you told them you'd been making payment to a doorstep collector that the bank was surprised as they had not instigated this.

 

 

  • Did you find out who you had been paying and what it is for?

 

  • The accidental payment you made, was it definitely to the claimant in this case?

I for got to mention that i have also sent a CCA to the claimant on the 19/01/2010, it was received on the20/01/2010.

 

This is were i have trouble explaining whats what:

I thought i was paying the door step collector for an account i have with another claimant say account X, thats what i thought, but the collector was collecting for a another claimant that i belived to be completed say account Z.

Claimant X contacted me and asked why i have not been paying & i said i have to a door step collecter, they know nothing about this.

Account Z as far as i belive dont exist ? Because the account Ref number they say the claim is against is diffrent from the one i had with them ? That got payed in 1995.

This is so difficult to explain i dread how i am going to be able to put my defence together correctly.

And yes the accidental payments went to the claimant via the door step collector, Because both the original agrements were with the same lender.

Ok, sounds a little tricky but with patience on both sides we'll work it out.

 

You have used the word 'claimant' for accounts X, Y, and Z. This suggests that each of them has issued a claim for their respective accounts which I'm sure is incorrect.

 

 

  • So, which of the creditors has become a claimant by initiating legal intervention?

 

  • Can we rule out creditor Z as it's so old and you believe that to be paid in full?

 

  • The account numbers might be different if a debt company got involved, might be their own reference number perhaps?

Hi their is no Y, Just X & Z.

 

Claimant Z is the one that initiated legal action, allthough i belived this was settled, but they are saying its not, and the account number is diffrent to the one i have on records from 1995, i am also having probs proving i payed it off, because of it beign so old and me changing my Bank from Barclays to Nationwide,

The account number they are saying i owe the monies to is from the original creditor, but it dont match my old one ?

 

Is it possible for me to PM you in any way or email ? i can then tell you who they are ?

I just dont want to name them on here as their solicitor uses this site ? He told me in court on the 14 Jan when we met.
