    • Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Since my last post I have received a reply from Plymouth Council Insurance Team concerning my wife’s accident (please see enclosed letter and photo of the offending Badminton post) which they deny any responsibility for the said accident. I feel that the Council is in breach of their statutory duties under the following acts: The Leisure Centre was negligent in its duty of care and therefore, in breach of the statutory duty owed under section 2 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (the Act) to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, and others who might be affected by its undertaking, e.g. members of the public visiting the Leisure Centre to use the facilities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that requires employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require the risk to people’s health and safety from equipment that is used at a Leisure Centre be prevented or controlled. I would like some advice to see if my assumptions are correct and my approach to obtaining satisfactory outcome to this matter are accurate. Many thanks   PLM23000150 - Copy Correspondence.pdf post docx.docx
    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply 
    • I am extremely apprehensive about burning our files.... I do not know why, so it is becoming an endless feedback loop. Scared to pull the trigger to speak in the desire not to mess up my file. 
    • Hi All, So brief outline. I have Natwest CC debt £8k last payment i made was 7th November 2018 Not a penny since. So coming up to the 6 year mark. Can't remember when i took out the  credit card would be a few years before everythign hit the fan. Moved house 2020 - updated NatWest as I still have a current account with them. Then Lowells took over from Moorcroft and were writing to me at my current address. I did get a family member to speak to them 3 years ago regarding the debt explained although it may be in my name I didn't rack it up then went contact again. 29th may received an email from overdales saying they were now managing the debt. I have not had any letter yet which i thought is odd?  Couple of questions 1. Does my family member speaking to lowell restart statute barred clock? 2. Do you think overdales aren't writing to me because they will back door CCJ to old address even though Lowells have contacted me at current address never at previous? ( have no proof though stupidly binned all letters  ) Should I write to them and confirm my address just incase? Does this restart statute barred clock? 3. what do you think best course of action is?   Any help/advice is appreciated I am aware they may ramp up the process now due to 7th December being the 6 year mark.   Many Thanks in advance! The threads on here have been super helpful to read.

    • 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.

Wrote to Barclaycard on 27.3.9 asking for CCA for my brother and got a reply on 24.4.9. They quoted the limit, balance, next monthly paymnt and said a copy of my current Barclaycard Credit Agreement would follow. It came the next day and is just 2 sheets of Barclaycard Conditions and says at the top

 

"These are the terms and conditions of an agreement between us ( Barclays Bank PLC, Barclaycard Centre, Northampton ) and you the person who signed the agreement ( as named in the covering letter)"

 

It does not have any reference to my brother's details or a signature on it.

Is it enforcable?

If your brothers details and signature arent on the CCA then it would not be enforcable. This happened to my friend. He asked for the CCA and they just sent him the present terms and conditions. My friends name nowhere to be seen and his signature wasn't there either just a blank box to sign.

Barclaycard never seem to get this right :rolleyes:

 

More help will be on the way shortly.

I'd be tempted to send them Scots letter below & see what their response is;

 

Re: my request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

Thank you for your recent letter sent to me, the contents of which are noted. I appreciate your quick response to my original letter. However, the reply received by me does not fulfil your requirements under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

The Act demands that I be supplied with a true copy of any properly executed credit agreement that exists in relation to the above account. I may ask for this on demand providing that a fee of £1.00 is paid. This fee was sent with my original letter.

 

My request remains outstanding. The items you sent in your reply, does not constitute a true copy of any credit agreement that may or may not have been signed by me on the opening of this account. It neither confirms that I am liable for any alleged debt to you, nor gives me any chance to evaluate whether any original agreement was ‘properly executed’.

 

I still require you to send me a true copy of the original credit agreement that you allege exists. As you will know, under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, a judge is not permitted to make any enforcement order unless the creditor can provide a true signed copy of the original credit agreement. This means that unless you can produce such an agreement, this alleged debt is not enforceable in law.

 

You had until XX/XX/2008 to provide me with the true copy I requested. You are now in default of my request. Any account I hold with you is now in legal dispute. Whilst the account remains in dispute, you are not permitted to ask for any payment, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you. Furthermore, whilst the dispute remains, you are not entitled to charge any interest on the account, nor make any further charges to the account. Additionally, you are not entitled to register any information on this account with any credit reference agency.

 

To register information with a credit reference agency, you must have written consent from the customer to collate and share such information. This consent is given in the form of a signed credit agreement, so until you produce such an agreement, you may not do this.

 

The requirement for consent to share data is a clear requirement of the Data Protection Act 1998. any such attempts to share my data without my consent will be met with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office

 

To sum up, I will not be making any further payments to you until you provide me with the document I have requested. Whilst you remain in default of my request, you are not permitted to take any action against this account. This includes adding further charges and passing any information to the credit reference agencies.

 

Should you not have any signed credit agreement in relation to this alleged debt, please confirm this in writing to me.

 

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully

Print name do not sign

 

**amend to suit your circumstances.**

I have just found a couple of letters in my bros files. They are Default Noties letters dated 6.7.9 from Mercers chasing the visa and mastercard debts. The amounts differ slightly from the Calder Financial letters which are dated 7.7.9. I note from the Calder letters that they are part of Mercers. Who do I now write to Barclaycard, Calders or Mercers?

Write to whoever was last in contact with you.

 

Can you scan those default notices and post them up after removing identifying details? ;)

 

I will do that later today. I have written to Barclaycard and Calder but not sent them yet. Do I only need to send to Calder?

Barclaycard, Mercers and now Calders have been chasing me for sometime now. I wrote to BC last year and received some paperwork but not a valid CCA. I replied with the standard letter saying that as they had not produced a valid agreement then they could not chase me. About 2 weeks Calders started chasing so I wrote back reiterating my earlier letter. Today received a letter saying BC would like to offer me a settlement and to call them. What do I do now??

They have no power, tell them to leave or you will call the police

3 Request a court order to deduct debts from your salary

4 Seizure and sale of your personal belongings by order of the court

I believe they can only do these if they get a CCJ and you default on it

 

Please not any court costs will be added to the outstanding balance.

Hi Rose

Here's a link to the "Door step visit" letter . .

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/591-dca-home-visit-if-you-receive-or-are-threatened-with-a-doorstep-visit-

 

Amend it to suit, send recorded delivery (Print name don't sign) and keep a copy by the door ready to shove through the letter box if they ignore

Other than that put the kettle on and have a cuppa because if they have not complied with your CCA request and you have sent the "In dispute letter" that cerb linked to there's not much they can do except huff n puff

Good luck

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I asked them to wait whilst I got my Bank card :violin:

If you fail to contact us to discuss this matter we may take one or more of the following actions to reover the debt.

 

1 Visit your home address to obtain payment (They can visit, but you tell them to get lost, usually just ideal threats, nobody turns up)

 

2 Try to obtain a charge on your property (Possible if you own any property, if not more rubbish)

 

3 Request a court order to deduct debts from your salary (again possible, but not without the correct enforceable paperwork)

 

4 Seizure and sale of your personal belongings by order of the court (they would have to go to court, win the case, then you would have to default on the payment judgement and they would have to go back to court to apply for an enforcement order, so again all ifs and might be's)

 

Please note any court costs will be added to the outstanding balance. (if they win the case, if not, nothing will be added)

 

If you wish to avoidthese actions you must contact us on (this is there main reason for these kind of letters. To get you on the phone so they can bully and intimidate you in to paying what you can't afford, so don't be tempted to ring them)

 

Failure to act upon this letter will result in further action being taken" (pass the account to the threat monkey at the next desk)

 

What do I do now. (If you have sent them the account in dispute letter, nothing, until such time as the dispute is resolved)

 

Don't be intimidated by the likes of these parasits

That letter, as Revenant says, is clearly misleading and designed to intimidate. You should complain to the OFT about this. They cannot take most of those actions without first getting a CCJ, and they have strangely failed to mention that.

 

Bear in mind also that Calders IS Barclaycard.

It seems all these parasites are popping up again. I had a call last night from Calders at 9.15 and I just told them that I was unwillingy to discuss anything with them on the phone. Should I send another letter or just leave it?
