    • No I have not. I will probably do that
    • Based on ECP's previous, what will definitely happen is this. They will send more idiotic letters. After they will send a Letter of Claim, and it is essential that your brother replies at this point to this to show them he would be big trouble in court. Next it is highly likely (but not certain) that they will crawl back under their stone and that will be the end of the matter. The slight worry is that if they do do court it will seem a likely story to a judge that your brother has no connection to the ticket, when it was him who appealed and replied to the Letter of Claim.  Indeed I think it would seem the lot of you were playing games with ECP and with the court by getting unconnected people involved and then later deny they were involved. So be aware there is that slight risk. You talked about "a mess" in your first post, and you weren't wrong. Someone hires a car and gets a ticket.  There is an appeal.  Who appeals, the hirer?  No, the hirer's mate's son.  Obvious! There is an approach for help to a consumer website.  By the hirer?  No, by the hirer's mate's son's brother! This is so damn silly and totally avoidable. Anyway, it seems the decision has been made for your brother to carry the can so whatever consequences will ensue will ensue. 
    • Doc 04-19-2024 11-01-51-merged-compressed.pdf good morning.    9 pages attached.    thank you  UCM
    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk

    • 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.

Well Watson old boy, if you thought the Battle Of Trafalgar was a fine one, in relation to the robots who had banked that £59 third party settlement cheque against a debt stated or claimed as being £16,000.00.

 

You haven't heard anything yet.

 

Another group of robots have banked a third party cheque £8.00 sent in and offered unequivocally in Full and Final Settlement of the account and without any admission of liability to the amount claimed by the robots as legally owing and also including the all important clause for the robots to return the said cheque payment if they do not agree to the settlement terms, yes well Watson as I say, these robots banked that said £8.00 (eight pounds sterling) third party cheque against a £72,000.00 (seventy two thousand pounds sterling) debt.

 

Last I heard was that the factory who made these particular robots had dumped them at the scrap yard, it was a simple case of Mould poisoning, and as I had developed the syrum, I was called in to administer the fatal dose and then I double checked their batteries to make sure that they could not be re-charged.

 

Kind Regards

:shock:

 

Seriously?

 

I could do with a few accepting £8.00 cheques as full and final from me!

 

How does that go again?

hello out there

 

I have received in the post a letter from BOSlink3.gif to say that I have failed to respond to their request to pay off the total remaining balance of £1590, so I have sent the CCA request, they would have received that over a week ago, they have since taken the usual amount from my bank account of £60 and suspect they are about to take another £40 for my other card - do I sit back and wait?

 

I am a bit worried about this...? help?

I have received in the post a letter from BOSlink3.gif to say that I have failed to respond to their request to pay off the total remaining balance of £1590, so I have sent the CCA request, they would have received that over a week ago, they have since taken the usual amount from my bank account of £60 and suspect they are about to take another £40 for my other card - do I sit back and wait?

 

I am a bit worried about this...? help?

 

Yes just sit back and wait to see what they send after the 12 days, if nothing send them a reminder and let them know they have a further 30 days to comply.

 

Sorry, I wasnt online yesterday to answer.

 

Kindest wishes sent, WMW :)

Send them this if you dont hear after 14 days,,It will put the account in dispute ..Has court action started??

 

Amend Letter to suit

 

 

 

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Date:

 

Ref:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Thank you for your letter of xx/xx/xx, the contents of which have been noted.

 

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

 

On **DATE** I made a formal request for a true signed agreement for the alleged account under consumer credit Act 1974 s77/8. This was signed for as delivered on the **DATE**

You have failed to comply with my request, and as such the account entered default on **DATE** (12+2 days after you made the initial request).

 

The document that you are obliged to send me is a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company and myself as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments. If the executed agreement contained any reference to any other document, you are also obliged to send me a copy of that document. In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore, you are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before you/your client enters into a default situation.

 

This limit has expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

 

As you have failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, Failed to send a full statement of the account and Failed to provide any of the documentation requested. You will also be aware of the CPUTR 2008 and the OFT's guidelines on debt collection which state under the title Deceptive and/or unfair methods - Examples of unfair practices are as follows - 2.8

 

(i) - 'Failing to investigate and/or provide details as appropriate, when a debt is queried or disputed, possibly resulting in debtors being wrongly pursued'

 

(k) - 'Not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonable queried or disputed debt'

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

 

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

 

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you not respond within 14 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY

Action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

 

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

 

* You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

* You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.

* You may not pass the account to a third party.

* You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.

* You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

You have 14 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

Knowing my luck the CCA will come through and I will be banged to rights. Although I dont ever remember signing a CCA, it came in the post with the card but I know that I never returned it.

 

When was the account open?? normally when you get the card it comes with the card carrier..that mentions The CC Act,,thats not normally the CCA..you would of had the Agreement to sign befor you got the card

If you put the account in dispute with the letter ..that shud stop them from doing anything..Ive had many threats from DCA nothing has ever come of it ..

 

and yes has soon has their time is up send them the dispute letter :)

 

Putting the account into dispute doesn't stop them doing anything. Recent legislation by Mcduff has meant anything short of enforcement in court is not classed as enforcement action so they are allowed. You have redress later if they are proved to have acted unlawfully but your credit rating will get ruined and they will in all likelyhood take you to court.

 

It can put some Dca's off but there are always lower ones willing to take the batton.

 

If you really want to put into dispute you have to follow through with a complaint to the information commissionairre of the oft (does little but will delay things while they investigate)

I wouldnt says its pointless but doing a CCA request doesnt prevent the creditor taking court action, a Section 78 request allows the creditor to send a reconsituted version of a CCA.

 

Its up to the individual to challenge the enforceablity of it, although the recent rulings are where the debtor was the one who instigated proceedings. If it is the creditor who starts the court ball rolling then they need to provide a fully compliant regulated agreement to prove their case.

My next argument for the creditors is IF they do indeed hold a fully compliant regulated agreement with my signature then why not send it? A reconstituted version is exactly that, reconstituted. I have no solid proof that I was provided with all of the relevant and legally required information at the time execution.

 

Until such time as I do receive I cannot be expected to know whether I am lawfully required to make payments on any alleged debt.

why do they hold off sending a signed version and send the recon one instead? or even a signed application form agreeing to be bound by the t&c's

 

Because that's all they're obliged to send. Why drop themselves in it by sending a poor or unenforceable copy agreement or admitting they can't find it? Sounds unfair but unfortuntely that's how it is. It would be easier for them to bait you into taking action.

 

The best you can do when faced with this is to dig in as WMW is. If they take you to court then they'll need to produce the real thing.

Under Section 172 of the Consumer Credit Act statements made under 78 are binding, I am trying to incorporate this into my letters, also the oft have stated that a creditor should state whether or not they have an enforceable agreement.

 

I will post more about this and ask for further thoughts tommorrow.

Ah there you are Watson

 

Its nearly the morrow now old boy, speaking of which........Hooooooowwwwlll time for a change dear boy, oh here it is, yes, oh yes, midnight club, goody gum drops.

 

Holmes, I say Holmes, hello there, is that you over there Holmes?

 

Yes Watson, here I am, although where we are, is another question altogether, hmmm.

 

I thought you were an apparition Holmes.

 

What?

 

An apparition old boy, must be too much sun or summerthing like that Holmes.

 

I thought you said that you thought I was a pair of tits Watson.

 

Where are we anyway Watson? All this blasted sand everywhere, I did tell you Watson and I have told you before man, leave the bloody buttons on the time machine alone will you! Here we are, goodness knows where........

 

Does he? Let's just ask him them Holmes.

 

Don't be a fool Watson, goodness became engaged to gracious last week and they are off somewhere going mad together. Oh why didn't I just stay at home tonight Watson? I was going to play the violin you know, that is until you turned up with your "Let's go on an adventure Holmes, let's get the time machine out, ooh please Shirley, please can we? you know you want to Shirley". Yes, I should of stayed at home Watson, hold on a minuet old boy, what's with the bloody 'Shirley?' Watson you are becomming quite bold I should say.

 

Holmes, you know why I tease you with the 'Shirley' name calls. Anyway dear fellow, how can you play the violin now, like you used to, with your thingy having been bitten off when we were on the Hounds of the Bast**dville case back in Devon old boy?

 

What? Watson have you gone stark raving mad man? My thingy? Bitten off? What on earth are you going on about, you silly old doctor?

 

You don't remember Holmes, do you? You really don't remember, goodness me, ah, the time travelling has erased your memory of it. When we were on the Hound's case, your thingy was bitten off by the beast.

 

Are you serious Watson? That beast bit off my favorite bow?

 

Yes Holmes, absolutely, that beast locked its jaw on, urm, er, your bow, and snap! Off it came.

 

You mean......... the Duke of Cornwall ate my bow? Wait a minute Watson, wait just a minuet, when I was over there and walking back over here, when you said what I thought you had said about tits, I was just comming back from doing a piddle, my bow is still there, Oh my God Watson! MY BOW IS STILL THERE! Do you know what this means Watson?

 

No, I'm afraid I am at a loss Holmes, what does it mean?

 

It means........ well Watson, I'll tell you some other time, some where, some how.

 

Holmes don't be a violin player all your life, tell me! Holmes! Holmes, tell me damn you!

 

The science of deduction Watson, that's what it means.

 

Good night old boy, sleep tight.

 

Kind Regards

 

The Mould
