    • Hi all.   I've just cancelled my Virgin Media because my Wife and I are going abroad for 12 months or so. My Son will be staying in our home, and wishes to start a contract with them. He signed up to a great deal for New Customers online, and a Contract Agreement was signed online. He had a delivery date for a Self Installation Kit but it never arrived. After speaking to numerous Virgin Media Staff online, they are insisting that he calls their Pre Installation Team (I presume that is their sales Team to try and get more money). He doesn't want to speak to them over the phone. He doesn't mind doing a Live Chat, but he hasn't got an Account Number yet, so that's impossible. He even had a chat with a Team Member on Whatsapp, who say they don't have access to the information they need, so he has no option to call them. Why can't they just be straightforward with their Communications. Is there any other option other than calling them?   TIA.
    • Hi All, I'm looking for help with a P2G claim for another lost parcel. Given the wealth of information on this site, I'm hopeful that this should be an easy one to fix, but want to be sure I have everything. On the 6th March, I contracted with P2G to send a parcel (a £600 Pioneer AVH-Z7200DAB car stereo which is not on either P2G or EVRi's excluded from compensation or prohibited items list) using EVRi, sent it off, and that was the last I heard of it. The EVRi tracking showed that the parcel had made it to the national sorting hub at 2:12 on the 7th, and then vanished. By Friday, I had started to get nervous, and so, raised an enquiry. And then another, and another - well, they weren't responding, and I couldn't get their telephone one to work, I think in all, it was more than 15 enquiries. I also raised an investigation with P2G as well. EVRi closed the enquiry confirming a loss on the 19th March, and P2G near the end, although P2G closed it claiming that I needed to send photos of the parcel as proof - which I didn't have, and I also do not have an account with P2G so couldn't upload anything (I did test, just in case), and this is why despite receiving advice on the EVRi Fb group to send the letter before claim, I haven't yet acted. I have proof of the eBay listing, and the refund, to demonstrate that which was being sent, but P2G's insistence that I have no photographic proof of the parcel with the label - I have the photo of the goods in their box before sending, but this is for the eBay listing, and so does not show it after the fact. This I fear is what P2G will seek to rely on as a defence, hence my 10 week delay on progressing with this. But, I am more than £600 out of pocket for the loss: £600 for the item and £8.04 for the delivery fee, although my claim will actually be for an initial £611.09 to cover the cost of the loss, their delivery fee, and my 1st Class Recorded stamp for the Letter Before Claim to P2G, rising to £681.09 to cover the additional £70 cost of opening the court case if they fail to respond within 14 days. This question mark surrounding P2G's request for photographic evidence, is this likely to cause me a problem? Steve
    • Had a letter response today dated 12/6/24 from PRA Group re request for information consumer credit act 1974. Confirming they are in receipt of my CCA letter request - and that they are requesting the required information. They returned the £1 postal order. And my CCA letter. Stating that they will contact me with an update ASAP. They attached/included a standard ( non personal ) page about ' what they should provide ' and ' what happens If I don't get this information'.    I need to file my defence by 21 June 24. Any suggestions as to what that defence should be ?   
    • Thanks @dx100uk for responding promptly.    To be quite honest with you, applying for breathing space might not really help except some short term relief. I don’t want to default either as I might lose my job too and I cannot really afford it. Sorry for sounding bit stupid but is there something I can do to stop them charging interest and agree on reduced payments? Can I use pro-rata payment letters to get out of this situation without too much impact? I am working on information that @BankFodderhas requested and will be sharing it later today.

    • 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.

the judge issued order for them to comply by 27th and this daye having passed i was advised by clerk that case is automatically struck out as per judges order.......she then added case was dead unless claimant provided cca etc in the future....................now surely a struck out claim is dead in the water and a new claim would have to be filed if they wanted to go at me again??

with this in mind what is my next move...........court said i wouldn,t receive anything in writing to confirm struck out status but can assume it is as claimant hasn,t complied.................i want to act now if i can to drive nail into claimants coffin so they go away and don,t dream of coming back................any advice please

I received a letter from the court telling me the case was struck out and they gave them 7 days to respond (this was with Link), I called the court after the 7 days and was told they had not responded - end of story one would hope that was back in early 2009.

Not a peep from them except for a statement at the end of 2009.

it was the clerks comment that i would hear nothing unless the claimant wrote to the court or sent in the docs they needed that sent alarm bells ringing...........she wasn,t able to confirm that the claim was dead so got me thinking that maybe i should be pro active and make some sort of move to leave nothing to chance...........court advice seemed a bit vague thats all..............

If the judge ruled 27th for response and they've not done it - should be end of story as far as I know, if I'm wrong someone will let us know.

The problem with CL is you shouldn't expect anything. Personally I would want something in writing, confirming that the case has been struck out, & CL can't just reinstate the claim when it suits them.

Also, as they have failed to enforce judgement, don't be surprised if they pass it back to the origonal creditor.

so do i write to the court asking for confirmation.........what would i say...........on the subject of original creditior if cl can,t provide original cca etc then the chances of original being avble to is by default nil or surely they would have by now............its been going on for nearly a year.........assuming cl back off then is there an avenue for trying to get original creditor to write the debt off as legally they have no leg to stand on....anyone had any luck going down this route

I think the court clerk is confusing 'struck out' with 'stayed'. What did the judge's order say? If it said the claim would be 'struck out' for non-compliance with the order, then write to the court requesting that the case be properly struck out. You want it in writing. If the judge had made an order, then you shouldn't need to file an N244.

 

Otherwise it may come back to bite you.

judges order said it would be struck out by 27th if no reply received.............clerk said no reply so judges order would automatically come into force........i said would i receive a letter and she said no as the order was clear..................if i am to write tot he court again what is best way to word it.........a simple " in light of the non response to your order dated xxxx could the court please confirm in woritng that this claim is now struck out"................would this do???

 

thanks

When CL failed to enforce judgement against me, they passed it back to Santander without giving them any background whatsoever. They had no knowledge that a claim had been filed, & had gone to court.

 

How can they pass it back when they supposedly bought it? Was it sale or return? :rolleyes:

Well, this has been my first response to Santander. I have told them that I am not prepared to discuss any background to this account. As far as I'm concerned CL still "Absolutely" own this debt.

 

Quite right! Unless the assignment wasn't what it seemed and someone has been telling fibs...

ok i,m a bit confused.....if cl pass it back or to someone else we are likely to go throught the same carry on...........if they can,t provided the CCA etc then surely after 18 months noone will and therefore noone is goong to have a legal leg to stand on...............so what next...just wait for 6 years etc and go for statue barred??.....................

 

i,ve had various people chase me for other credit card debts and every one has backed off after cca request............they all say the debt has been passed back to the original creditor.............i,ve heard nothing from anyone since so do i just sit and do nothing or is there anything i can do with original creditor ...ie attempt to get them to write it off etc..
