    • 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 all, just got this from my bank today.   ” Update on your payment refund As you know we temporarily refunded the amount(s) of £381.98 to your account pending investigation. We’re pleased to confirm that an additional amount of £359.99 has also been refunded to your account by the retailer on 18th March 2024. What will happen next To correct this situation, arrangements will be made on 6th June 2024 to reverse the original refund supplied from us.  Our file in respect of this matter will now be closed, which we trust is satisfactory.”   Not sure what to do as I was previously told if I hear nothing back after a certain date that would be the case closed now it’s been changed to the 6th of June. and as you see I’m not getting a full refund I don’t know wether to contact them again and try to get the £20, or if I even can at this point? Thanks again.

    • 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.

I have just about prepared myself mentally for this on Wednesday.

 

I know what I got to say about why this should not be made final:-

 

  1. Unfair to other unsecured creditors 10+
    Particularly if I made myself bankrupt or was made bankrupt
  2. Son suffers from ADHD and Aspergers.
  3. Son finishing A levels
  4. Daughter finishing GCSE
  5. Spouse paid the majority of deposit
  6. Spouse currently paying the majority of our mortgages.
  7. An unsecured debt benefiting from a high rate of interest compared to a secured debt.

There are few other bits and pieces.

 

I am not unduly worried about the charging order as they seem pritty pointless for jointly owned family homes and I actually have a far more serious problem that I need to find money for by 11/4/10 or we will be evicted anyway....

 

 

But at present I can't see past Wednesday......

 

 

What I really need to know is whether the hearing is the time to mention about a defective DN and collection charges (2K+) being added to a credit card debt.

 

Also the original paper work missed off the first four digits of the credit card number.

 

thanks

his was ppi but i cant see yours being considered any diff [re charges]

 

and if in their process [of the co] their dn must be correctly administered [which i'm sure must be so for this to move fwd to a co] if it is defective then the whole thing is unlawful?

Hi CBR600F

 

How much is owing here?

 

You say they have added charges of £2000?

 

Is this a loan or a credit card debt?

 

Your court date is very close so fill in an income and expenditure spreadsheet to take with you :

Unfortunately, the Charging Order hearing is not the place to mention about defective Default Notices or Collection Charges.

A Judge will advise that you should have mentioned this at the judgment hearing or at a Set Aside hearing.

 

If you did apply for a Set Aside of the CCJ then this would defer the Charging Order hearing but you would have to move quick.

 

Have a look at the links below on Setting Aside a CCJ -

The reason why I believe the Default Notice is defective is that there is insufficient time allowed for delivery.

 

DN date Friday 21/08/2009

Remedy date by Monday the 07/09/2009

 

Up until last week I had not realised what day the 21st was!

 

Everything else looks spot on including the underlining so I didn't think I had a leg to stand on.

No the 14 days is not working days but they have to allow time for delivery !

 

1st class is 2 working days

2nd class is 4 working days

 

So by 1st class the DN would have been served Tuesday and 2nd class on Thursday.

 

So even IF HFC could prove they posted it on the Friday by 1st Class it would not have been served until Tuesday - 14 clear days I believe is Tuesday 8/9/9 or Thursday if they can't prove 1st Class and later if they can't prove they posted the same day.

Also I have been looking at the copy of the agreement I have.

The agreement is dated 1/2/95 yet on the DN it says the agreement dated 25/1/95 ?

If the DN is defective it will come out of the blue to them as they have so far not had my full attention due to many many other problems over the last 7 months.

Well I knew that it was not going to be easy!

 

The judge was all very polite but dispite all arguments finalized the CO.

 

BUT she made it very clear that it is a CO NOT an order for sale.

 

She also got the sol to say that HFC are not intending to try and force a sale.

 

More importantly she actually said that it is a good thing because although it becomes a secured debt there is no interest and that the court charges are added to the debt again with no interest sol confirmed this.

 

I have to stress that she made it clear that this was actually a good thing as it maybe many years before we sell our property and that HFC have in effect, given me an interest free loan!

 

The comments that my wife made in her letter that we sent were noted but were insufficient to stop the CO.

 

HOWEVER she then said that if HFC did try to force a sale that comments were VERY serious and relevant.

 

Reading between the lines in this she was basically saying that HFC would not see a penny until the time that I wanted them to.

 

I am going to have a few more beers and hopefully a good nights sleep don't actually think I need any beer to sleep as I do feel relieved that the worst a CC company can do does not actually do themselves any good!

 

I did mention about the DN being probably defective but as on other posts she was very clear that the hearing was for the CO and if I wanted to submit any objections then go to the FSO (I think) or apply for a set aside.

 

The sol was very quiet during the hearing but I am sure I saw him cringe when I mentioned the DN....

 

I am now going to put this behind me for next few days and consider my options.

 

2 down 13 to go!

Glad to hear your update after all the worry you have gone through, you definitely deserve a beer this evening . Shame these things are becoming more & more freely given though :mad:

 

Did you get the judge to set a "no further enforcement" condition to this CO so that later on down the line they dont sneak back in to try to force the sale? All advice like this will help us all enormously. thanks

The judge made it very very clear to the sol that the objections made by my wife were extremely serious and if HFC change there mind at a future date they would be taken into account - I think she was basically warning the sol not to waste the courts time as they would not grant a force sale order.

 

So I doubt I will be hearing from them for a while.

 

Objections were

Wife paid a high percentage of the deposit 80-90%.

Her income is currently paying 80% of the mortgage

Sons taking his A levels

Daughters taking her O levels

Son Suffers from ADHD and Aspergers.

When I tried to get a variation order for original summary judgment I wrote a covering letter that included in it a comment along lines of "short of a miracle we are about to be evicted by London Mortgages". We came within 24 hours of this actually happening which was just one of the reasons we ended up in a mess with HFC's CCA.

 

I am just wondering whether that letter addressed to the court manager would have been passed on to HFC???

  • 2 weeks later...

When this all started I was in a bad place father-in-law terminally ill, mortgage problems other priority debt problems.

 

But I am back now and have several scores to settle.

 

So I want to get this sorted and I am therefore considering my various options for a setaside.

 

1. Charges and interest.

2. Defective DN - no service time as was dated on a Friday.

3. Collection charges added.

4. Original POC only had 12 digits of a 16 digit account no.

5. It now appear that the T&Cs may be defective as there is no mention of default charges or interest after default.

 

I have uploaded the T&Cs, although a poor copy, I believe it is a copy of the original as it had mirrored marks that coincide with the application.

I have had to do a bit of processing on this as the original scanned picture was way to big!

 

Could someone have a look: -

Oh and I just realised by reading the following: -

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-2848490.html

 

That they had got bored with the photo copier and only went back 3 years of statements or so not the 15years that they say I had the account for....

 

I have no idea what the significance of that is.

 

As money permits I will SAR them but at present I am letting sleeping dogs lie. Mums got a minor op to remove a tumor on Friday, got to sort out mortgage arrears and son's, fingers crossed, is off to Uni in September so I have enough *real* problems as it is!

 

Probably more info than people want to know but a "problem etc etc etc
