    • the scrappage scheme is nothing to do with the agreement ...sorry. it's an enticement to purchase a replacement vehicle. just the same as shop signs that say 50% off or whatever.  its a done and dusted deal done before you enter into the agreement for the remaining £sum. 
    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • This is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest

    • 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 would send Westsnot this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/585-letter-following-up-after-a-debt-collection-agency-has-closed-its-files-

 

Unless anyone else has other opinions?

 

And to think your first thought was to go BR:shock:

 

See what happens when you learn your rights and begin hitting them head on!

 

Well done,;)

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

okay, received another letter from Lowell stating 'we are in receipt of correspondance,' and 'your account has been placed on hold,' and 'There is no need,, to write to us again regarding this matter.' I'm guessing this is a 'we don't have the paperwork we need' letter and I intend to send the failure to supply letter anyway..?

also 2 queries; does it matter at all that public holidays meant that the letter posted on the 30th reached them on the 3rd, i'm guessing not it's 12+2 days from the 30th right?

2nd It seems both this letter (failure to supply on CCA request) and the 'after account closed' letters are quite in your face, am a bit worried about that, just want my credit score back as peacefully as poss thank u ..?

So i can hit the original creditor, in this case cap 1, for SAR for any charges levied on the acc? I know this is branching into different teritory here but, since the OFT test case what's the coo, are any charges still classed as unlawful, can i claim them back from a cc acc?

Okay, thanks all once m ore for your support, couldn't do this without you.

;)

 

So far no credit file has arrived, Experian no response and equifax 2 seperate requests to confirm my new address... only sent call credit last week so,, that's okay. any advice on an appropriate way to chase my credit file at experian..?

 

have sent a default letter today to Lowell concerning the Cap 1 debt. Am thinking I will chase Cap 1 for charges to be repaid. ( I had some luck with reclaiming abbey charges 3 years ago b4 the test case etc..)

 

If they don't respond is it likely they'll remove entries on my credit file, can i force them ? If the debt is in default, which it now is, hooray! and they cannot sell it on or claim on it,, what happens next..??

 

thanks all again... the journey continues but am excited now instead of lost..

Can only advise being persistant with experian.

 

You can go either way on the crap 1 account. Claim your charges back OR go the unenforceable/non compliance of CCA route. It's impossible to call anything yet on this as you only just notified lowlife that you consider them to be defaulting on your CCA request. Do you have any idea of how much unfair charges could be on the account? if you don't have a full set of statements etc. you should SAR crap 1 as soon as you decide which way :)

it is highly unlikely they will remove defaults from credit file..as to can you force them? well you could initiate court action yourself..the problem is..is that although the debts are unenforceable because of the paperwork this doesnt mean they dont exist...and stopping them trashing your file is difficult....they will eventually drop off after 6 years anyway...

i'll look into my statements and add up the charges, this will take a while cos theyre in boxes..

Need that credit file...:confused: so i can see who has defaulted my file in the past and when. and when they might stop affecting things..

 

So a debt may just stay around until 6 years old?

also if a DCA commits an offence what does it mean..?

Sadly, due to the implementation of the CPUTR 2008 in to UK law, the criminal offence no longer applies to non compliance of a CCA request :(

 

The breach of OFT guidlines and the CPUTR that the DCA/OC commit if they fail to furnish within the 12 + 2 working day timescale should at all times be reported to TS, the OFT your MP and anyone else you think should know, if they recommence collection activity :D

so basically, they've failed to provide a CCA within the 12 + 2 working days. I've notified them that the account is in default which means it will stay with them but they cannot chase me for it. Nor can they default my credit file any further. So is that it,??

basically thats is it..you are now safe in the knowledge they cannot enforce said debt..take court action etc etc..but they can default your credit file...remember unenforceability does not mean debt doesnt exist...it does..it is just unenforceable

  • 2 weeks later...

hello everybody, new developments ,,,

the 2 summits of my mountain are owned by lowell, an old 2005 cap 1 cc, and, capquest an 11grand loan.

 

the first, lowell's is now in default and i received a letter last week stating that they haven't received a cca from cap 1 but that cap1 are looking for it 'retreiving the paperwork,' and once they Lowell receive it they'll post me a copy and want payment in full. So can they do that.?

 

secondly, i have asked capquest for a cca, they go into default today and they're letter states 'we can confirm we are in receipt of the' cca and 'in accordance with the data protection Act 1998' require me to contact them to confirm 'important security information. We will be unable to send' ..'until you have doen this.'

 

Do I call i'm not into telephone calls and will not undersign a debt by giving my date of birth to these guys, but do they have a legal standpoint here?

 

thankyou as always..

they nearly always state that once they have found cca they require full payment...well what they want and what they get are 2 different things...this is sent in order to frighten and worry you..accept it for what it is just another one of their boring threatograms...capquest were happy to harrass you when they believed you were the debtor..yet want more info before sending the cca...wait for time limit to be up and then put account into default...end of...dont ring em..and no they dont have a legal standpoint here...there is a letter on here telling them they were happy to deal with you before you asked for cca..so why not now..ignore em..send in dispute letter after deadline
