    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Thanks Savarok.

 

Right now the choice is between Network + and the 70-680 exams. As far as i can see, Microsoft haven't released the training material for the 70-682?

 

I think with Advent going down i've become more determined to pass these exams and get a decent job!

 

Were still trying to work out how to get trained.. :p

Just to let everyone know that I had a phone call from BBC Watchdog today but as I was at work I couldn't speak to them and asked the lady to call me back. Has anyone else spoken to them and should I be speaking to them at this stage or not? . . . . . . and if so any pointers anyone? :eek:

I agree - I have every intention of continuing my training once I get my fees back.

 

From what I can gather about the 70-682 there is two books that you need to read to really grasp the topic.

 

These are the 70-680 like you mentioned above and 70-685. These are my next steps :)

 

Atleast then I will be "current" with my exams.

Would that be another department of Barclays called Mercer's?

If so they have to go down the same legal road, as do any other creditor.

They have no powers to come to your home and take money/goods.

They would have to take you/your friend to court.

 

Just Google Mercers - plenty of advice on how to deal with them.

It seems that they are nothing more then Telephone verbal bully boys.

Backed up by automated letters.

If your friend is worried about their threats,then get in touch with

The National dept line.They will give very sound advice on how to deal with them.

Hi all,

 

has anyone had to start making payments withun the last month or so, and if so did you make the payments or not? i am due to start paying at the end of the month and am not 100% sure what to do

 

I've just spoken to BPF as I wanted to know what state my account is in and they advised that my account is still frozen and that I will receive a letter advising that it is no longer frozen with a mandate to set the DD back up in due course.

 

They also advised that as we are Advent students they have agreed with CompuTeach that although they prefer for us to take tests in their training center they will arrange for local testing and we do not have to attend the training center first. They are going to clarify if we still need to pass a mock exam before being put forwards for the exam. Exams and resits will also be paid for as per the advent contract. I of course want all of this in writing before I will accept any of it as truth.

 

CompuTeach have after 2 emails so far, have not been able to provide me with details of the training they will be provided.

Thats kinda interesting that they're now saying that they're gonna try and make computeach actually offer something approaching a "like for Like" service, however, it still doesnt address the issue with contract end dates that computeach seem to want to impose on people. or the fact that computeach have a hideous reputation and seem completely incapable of answering simple queries.

 

Like you say, anything would have to be in writing before I'd believe a word of it.

Guys,

 

Those of you who contacted the solicitor like me, please read below, important!!!!

 

I have had a message from the solicitor today, i dont know if you have had the same message?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your email. It is useful to receive the proposals and I will take them into account.

 

With regard to the meeting with the barrister, unfortunately not many people when asked to put forward the contribution to his fees have so far responded. I have therefore postponed the meeting in the hope that by the time we do meet there will be sufficient to defray the cost. I will keep you posted in this regard but at the moment the meeting is fixed for next week

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont know if you have pledged your support toward having or contributing to the barrister, but i would recommend that you do and try to push as many other people where possible.

 

Please contact the solicitor if you have already sent your information off to them and ask about the barrister situation

 

Hope this helps.

 

Aaron

 

Private message me if you need!

This Watchdog business sounds really promising. I've been a bit slack and not contacted them yet, but I'll do it tonight. Probably won't make much of a difference now though. Has anyone got any news about the one show? I heard some time back that they were supposed to be doing a piece on there as well. I wouldn't imaging they'd put it on both programmes though

Hi guys

Can I ask you to not say on the forum anything you speak to Watchdog about if they are undertaking an investigation it could be undermined if you give out information same if you phone BPF tell them nothing in fact better not to phone at all you may help them to screw you more. Thanks :)

Hmm I think everyone needs to be careful what they say on the forum folks.

 

Both Barclays partners and computeach will be monitoring this and other threads, (obvious they would). Don't give them what they need to try and hamstring you all
