    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect.

The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues.

INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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

I bought a car from Yes Car in approximately 2001 and cutting a long story short became unemployed a few months after and they reposessed the car and sent me a bill for nearly £7,000 after this I didnt hear a thing until around 2003/4 when I got an occassional letter from a debt collection agency which I ignored, Marlin placed a default on my experian credit file about 6 months before it became statute barred but never contacted me the default dissappeared off my credit file a couple of years ago and I thought that was that.

Last week I received a letter asking me to contact urgently to arrange a suitable repayment plan, I ignored this as a fishing letter hoping to latch onto the foolish, now I have received a letter saying if I dont contact within 7 days they will either:

A solicitor will be employed to decide whether to recover the debt in the county court.

A licensed collection agency will be instructed to visit your home to seek a repayment plan.

Or

An alternative DCA will be instructed to collect the outstanding debt.

I was that annoyed I called them stating that I didnt owe any money to there clients and the so celled debt was now statute barred and claims made in the letter were grounds for harrassment.

They said that it was not statue barred as a payment had been made to an "outside source" of £100 in June 2004 so it was not barred.

First I dont remember making any such payment but they said they will send me a statement of accounts and will be persuing the debt.

 

I am really confused.

 

Any advice would be welcome.

This is a tactic being used more and more in desperation by DCAs to extend the Statute Barred date.

 

If you are in Scotland, evening 'accepting' their alleged payment date it is still SB, and in England will be by the end of June 2004.

 

I am in a very similar position, although not the same DCA and I have been advised to wait it out.

Wait for the Statement to arrive, even if payment was made in June 04 it will be SB this June anyway. ;)

 

Wow thanks quick reply, can they not take legal action between now and then and as marlin placed the default on my credit file just before it became statute barred how do I stand with that?

 

Thanks again Coolbird

Hi Again

Well Marlin were fast; I spoke to them on saturday morning and they have sent me a statement of accounts that arrived today, strange it shows payments to an external as they call it but I have no recollection of having made these payments! the car was purchased March 2002 and payments were made toseptember 2002 when the car was reposessed. These anomolous payments started in late 2003 with the last one on 08/06/2004

 

Please be patient but I have a couple of questions that I dont understand.

How can I deny the debt?

How can Marlin place the default and then collect information at a later date about payments that extend the statute?

 

Its over two months before this so called final payment allows it to be barred again, how the heck am I going to hold these blood suckers off?

 

Thanks for any help guys Coolbird:???:

You can ask for positive proof from Marlin of where the money has come from so you can cross check it with your records.... they are playing dangerous games here.

 

An External source CANNOT be you so you are actually quite safe...

 

One of their threat monkeys may have had success with this tactic on a less enlightened member of the public.

 

Don't worry because even if they did go for court enforcement any judge would ask why they didnt chase back in 2004 when the alleged payments stopped. That is defence enough.

Does it say how these payments were made? Have you got copies of your bank statements?

 

Hi

 

My online bank statements dont go back that far

 

On this statement (plain paper with a load of figures on it) these payments are marked for example:

DR EXT Date 125 (Balance)

 

They are obviously going to expect a response from me, do I send a recorded letter asking for the exact details of these payments?

 

Its probably very obvious but I am hanging on every bit of advice.

 

Thanks Coolbird

To be personally honest, they really are just 'trying their luck'. It is extremely unlikely that anything is going to happen now. I would just totally ignore them for now.

 

The 8th June this year will arrive very quickly so please do not worry. As has been said, a judge would not look kindly on this at such a late date, even supposing they could issue a Summons, it is very unlikely that they could get a Court Date very soon, especially if you were to apply a Defence. But I really to not think it will get that far.

if it is a yes car credit agreement then the agreement is totally unenforceable...marlin know this..and will roll over immediately if you start questioning the agreement....you can send for the agreement if you want it however, what you will find is that any deposit you paid was used against the 'optional' insurances..this makes the whole agreement null and void...also if you send for agreement..we can hold the whole thing up till june and statute barred

Hi debt4get

 

This sounds like a plan but I presume it needs to be done in a specific way as to not give them any loopholes?

Would I at the same time question these dodgy payments?

 

Thanks Coolbird

Date

Agreement number

Dear sir/madam

I do not acknowledge any debt to your company

after having my agreement from DAF looked at I can now confirm the following

I HAVE NO INTENTION OF MAKING ANY PAYMENT ON THIS ACCOUNT. I REQUIRE GoDebt TO EITHER CLOSE DOWN THIS ACCOUNT OR ISSUE AN N1 county court claimlink3.giflink3.giflink3.gif

 

I will now explain why the agreement is unenforceable, might I also suggest yourselves running it past a solicitor qualified in the consumer credit act and regulations.

 

When the agreement was taken out, I was informed that I had to take out payment protection insurance to cover the creditor if I was unable to make repayments.

 

Now this constitutes a charge for credit as it has been included in the amount of credit.

 

As the amount of credit has been misstated, the agreement cannot be enforced, as the amount of credit is a prescribed term, a court is prohibited from enforcing the agreement.

 

For clarity may I suggest you study s.127 (3) of the consumer credit act 1974?

 

The agreement in the way it is laid out falls well short on a compliant agreement.

 

For your reference the payment protection insurance needs to be included in total charge for credit and not the amount of credit

.

As the agreement is in two parts, the conditional sale and credit agreement, as they have been linked, the true cost of the vehicle has been overstated. This puts the debtor at a disadvantage should he/she wish to do a voluntary termination on the vehicle.

 

I now draw your attention again to the meaning of amount of credit.

 

This is the difference between the cash price of the vehicle and any advance deposit.

 

Might I suggest you look at s.9 (4) of the consumer credit act 1974 for clarity?

 

Now as the price of the deposit was added to the insurance and not the credit agreement (car)

 

The cost of finance to the debtor has increased in the conditional sale agreement (car finance)

 

I WILL NOW EXPLAIN IN CRYSTAL CLEAR ENGLISH

 

1/ ANY DEPOSIT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT/INSURANCE AND NOT FOR WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR.

THAT WOULD BE THE CONDITIONAL SALE PART OF THE AGREEMENT

 

2/ THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT ON THE INSURANCE

 

3/ BY DOING THIS, THE TOTAL FIGURE REPAYABLE ON THE CONDITIONAL SALE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN MISSTATED, PUTTING THE DEBTOR AT A DISADVANTAGE IF HE/SHE WISHES TO DO A VOLUNTARY TERMINATION.

 

IN SIMPLE SPEAK

 

THE TOTAL CHARGE FOR CREDIT AND AMOUNT OF CREDIT HAS BEEN MISSTATED.

 

May I suggest looking at s.90 of the consumer credit act on termination and payments of a third?

 

THIS ALSO IS PREJUDICIAL IN THE ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE WHICH TO WILL BE MISSTATED AND BEING A PRESCRIBED TERM, MAKES THE AGREEMENT UNENFORCEABLE.

 

Please do not insult my intelligence by stating its In the terms and conditionslink3.giflink3.giflink3.gif which I signed and agreed to. That is unless you consider a contractual agreement is binding and the consumer credit act is not.

 

 

I require a final response as to either issue an N1 claim and allow me to enter a defencelink3.giflink3.giflink3.gif or close down this account.

 

 

yours faithfully

xxxxx

  • 1 month later...

I have had a letter from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors so I guess its time I gave an update and asked for your guys advice again.

 

I posted out the letter that postggj gave me requesting the cca and other documents, on the 13th April I received a reply containg a copy of the CCA but no other documents, the cca says payment protection nil but I cannot confirm whether this is accurate.

 

Anyway I didnt respond and took the earlier advice and ignored and until this morning not heard a thing as was stated by cerberusalert in an earlier reply the payment they claim I made on 08/06/2004 will become SB before the mail ping pong comes to an end and unless I am miss informed they need to give 30 days notice of CCJ action (or am I wrong) so they have run out of time?

 

Anyway today I received a letter from Mortimer Clarke Solicitors containing an expense & expenditure form and the letter stating if I don't get in touch within 7 days they will commence debt recovery proceedings against me in the county court.

 

My head says they are trying it on but my rear end is twitching badly:-o, as always your advice is welcome.

 

Regards Coolbird
