    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Consumer protection from Unfair Trading regulations 2008

3.4 A commercial practice is unfair if:

• it is not professionally diligent, and

• it materially distorts, or is likely to materially distort,

the economic behaviour of the average consumer.

Essentially, for the general prohibition to apply, the trader’s

practice must be unacceptable when measured against an

objective standard and must also have (or be likely to have) an

effect on the economic behaviour of the average consumer.

The second condition is likely to be met if, for example,

because of the practice, the average consumer would buy a

product they would not otherwise have bought, or would not

exercise cancellation rights when otherwise they would have

done so.

 

Without the enticement of a job ,and the information that was left out Re MCSE 18month experience needed, and the statement of the limited places available to encourage me to sign a document then I think it amounts to Unfair Trading Practices.of which BPF are jointly and severally liable, as it was a link loan and Advent breached the contract therefore leaving BPF holding the monster they created.

Recieved this e-mail last night.

 

8th April 2010

Dear ,

 

Thank you for taking the time to verify your contact details. These have now been transferred to our student records system in readiness for the start of your training with us.

 

During the contact detail verification process you may have requested contact from us regarding your contract start and end date. We are in the process of contacting all students who raised questions about their contract dates. Please do bear with us. We will be in touch with you by email on this subject in the next day or so.

 

In the meantime, the next step of the process is to verify the course and current module details that we have for you.

 

Please follow this link to verify your course details: Student Verification

 

Alternativily, you can visit http://verify.computeach.co.uk and login using the following details:

 

Your User ID:

Your Password:

 

You will then be presented with a screen that contains the last details recorded on the Advent system. These will be your course number and name, a description of the content of the course and then the module that you are currently studying.

 

This information was taken from the Advent computer systems at the time that the company went into administration. If you believe that any of it is incorrect then you can tell us by removing the ticks next to the relevant piece of information.

 

You still need to click on the verification button even if you have indicated that some or all of the information is incorrect.

 

If any of your details are incorrect then we will contact you over the next week or so to discuss what you believe you should be studying or where you believe you currently are. If you have continued to study during the last 2 months and you have completed any exams during this time then please be prepared to provide score reports or transcript access codes for us to verify your exam pass and move you on to the next module.

 

If your details are correct then within 2 working days we will send you a welcome email with login instructions for our student web site and within a further 2 working days, you will be able to access your new online eLearning to support the module you’re currently studying.

 

We are still awaiting archive paper files and access to all of the archived email communications that you may have had previously with Advent. If you have indicated that there are issues with either your contract dates or the details of your course then we will be in touch as soon as we can to discuss this with you. We would ask for your continued patience during the remainder of the integration project. I’m sure you can appreciate that you may be one of a large number of people who want to talk to us about your training contract and we will do our best to get to you as quickly as we can.

 

We are very keen to get you up and running as soon as possible so we would encourage you to verify your course details (correct or incorrect) as soon as you can so that we can get you started.

 

Yours sincerely,

Computeach International Limited

lets bring them down.i will go to jail for not paying rather than pay them.thats how i am thinking,lets hope it wont come to that.

 

You wont get the chance to go to jail..

Sorry but what they normally do is send in the bailiffs and they clean your house out.. and your car until they have the money you owe.. and they wont care if you are sitting on the floor without a carpet even.

 

Last year my city council changed not only the way I pay my council tax but the date of payment and they did not send me a bill so had no information about it...

I was 7 days from the bailiffs coming to my house to get the whole years worth of council tax plus their cut.

I fought em off for 5 months... in the end it was sorted, but my blood pressure had gone through the roof.. not good when I had also just been made redundant :mad:

so even PKF say we can cancel :)

http://www.pkf.co.uk/web/pkf.nsf/54A4A9BF581FA01A802576F8003AB42A/$file/Student+FAQs+-+Sale+of+Advent+to+Computeach.PDF

 

7. What if I don’t want to continue my training - how do I get my money back?

Clearly, any student is entitled to cancel their training at any time. However, how you paid for you course

fees will ultimately determine your right to recover monies previously paid.

Given the number of students that were in active training with Advent prior to its demise, we are not able

to provide specific advice on individual circumstances.

 

 CCPP and CCUF Students who are seeking to recover monies previously paid should contact their credit card provider.

 

 BPF Students seeking to recover monies previously paid and/or to discuss any outstanding finance balances should contact Barclays Partner Finance.

I'm due to start making payments on the 16th April 2010.

 

Can anyone advise how to approach barclays in means of a letter to keep the payments delayed?

 

Should i just keep the direct debit cancelled and let them put charges on the account?

 

I will not be paying them, I'm looking for the best way to go about it.

 

Thanks

I'm not a fan of Facebook (had an account once and deleted it) but I did join again just to post there...but one of our members here has beaten me to it! Thanks Gareth and Nathan for the support there, the more we get this about the better it will be as the more weight we carry and the publicity this will arouse in the press.
