    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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 postggj.

Thats all that they sent me regarding my cca (along with someone elses cca on the back of it)

 

I really have no idea what the credit care was and have no policy document.

 

Would you advise I request it from them?

 

I have checked my recent statement and there is no ppi on that.

 

The loan was for my first car and I was as green as grass and would of signed my soul over to the devil at the time!

 

Youth is definatly wasted on the young!!!

 

I have been doing well with this one

but am starting to get a bit out of my depth as I received a very interesting letter from Pref account.

 

 

In it they have written that the account is unenforceable by them,

then they are still going to wreck my credit rating etc and also that this was not a credit card in the first place so tough!

 

 

They also say I have 8 weeks to get back to them.

 

They say that they cannot find the original t&cs but were sure that they were present when I signed 15 year ago (good memory they got)

 

 

instead they have sent me a lovely new and doctered one

which shows their new location and also my new location where i have lived for 4 years!!!!

 

 

what are they up to???

Bit lost with it.

Where do I go from here with it all???

Well that's all you need to know. you have their written admission that they cannot take legal enforcement.
then they say they are still going to wreck my credit rating etc and also that this was not a credit card in the first place so tough!
They would do that anyway whether you made payment or not by registering defaults. Luckily they can only do that for six years & it must have been recorded within six months of the a/c becoming deliquent under guidelines.

Hi Cerb and thanks for looking in.

 

does this mean that i do not have to pay them anything and they can't hound me?

 

By saying from when it was made delinquent

is that the date I first defaulted on payment

or from them getting my dispute letter?

 

Not really bothered about my credit rating as my tennants kindly stole my id and wrecked it any way

(thats how I ended up in this financial mess)

 

If its ok with u I will scan a copy of the letter in the morning for u to browse a

nd confirm what I think it was saying as all a bit confusing to me.

 

Your help is much appreciated.

Well they have accepted the fact that they cannot take any legal enforcement against you, all they can do is continue to mark your credit file which they would have done anyway.

 

The bottom line is you do not have to repay this alleged debt unless you feel morally obliged to, but as we know when it comes to the financial industry they have very few so why should you? ;)

 

Keep that letter very safe in case it's needed in the future.

Cerb that was the message I have been waiting to read to confirm my thoughts.

 

After reading through it all again today it is startling how many mistakes and tricks these lot try to pull on folk.

you may or may not of noticed that not once in any letter of reply did they mention the other peoples cca they sent me either.

Think I will keep a hold of that to!

 

Thanks so much for your advice, really made mine a happy family tonight.

 

I realise the time you put in to help others here and it is truely appreciated, your a good un!!

The fact that they sent you someone else's CCA probably has some bearing on how tame their response was. ;)

their 'loss' my gain. do you think i should send any sort of reply within their 8 weeks or just terminate all communication and sit back and wait to see what comes my way?

There's no point in responding really, they may be hoping beyond hope that you will set up a repayment plan but the most they can do under the circumstances is periodically ask you for payment. They can't get too aggressive otherwise they could breach CPUR & OFT guidelines along with harassment laws, so basically you can ignore them. The alleged debt would become totally Statute Barred after six years from your last payment anyway. ;)

Hi all.

 

Thought I would update you with what has happened over the past few weeks.

 

I have had my usual statement which has been getting interest added along with daily calls from BOS PREF on my mobile which I ignore.

 

I have also had Albion Debt collections write to me every couple of weeks.

 

The latest letter today says that rbs are going to start legals soon and send someone round to my house!

 

I pressume its not for tea n biscuits!

 

They ring my home number at least 2 times a day but never withheld so I simply dont answer.

 

In all fairness if this is the worst they can do I can happily live with it although I am sure they are breaking harrasment laws??

 

The big question is do i break my silence and write to them or just sit tight and ride out the rather mild storm???

 

Your thoughts appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi, Thanks for looking in. appreciated.

 

Yip it would look like they overlooked that letter.

 

If it ever does go as far as court I think their case may drop to bits when its produced.

 

You think silence is golden or will I write and point out that they already 'boobed' up?

Hi

he did have a thread on here byt he is too ill to keep it going

so I will have to take over.

 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated they just keep on passing us back and forth to DCA (That we can cope with).

 

The letter you hold from Bank of Scotland is priceless,

I had something similar from Creation Finance and they took me to court in Septemeber 2010

and once I produce the letter from them stating they know the CCA is unenforceable they backed off completey.

 

I managed to get win the case by getting it absolved

 

I must add if it had not been for all the help SFU gave me on CAG then I would have been in the black hole of culcutta by now.

 

Cheers

Hi AFW,

Firstly can I say I hope your hubby gets well soon.

 

The only advice I can give is what the other wise folk on this site (cerb especially) have given me.

 

I do also think your doing the right thing by looking at other threads,

a couple of nights reading through posts helped me get the 'jist' of things when i registered on this site.

 

Good for you in court!

Nice to see someone beat them.

I will cherish the letter I have for sure,

I was stunned when I got it.

 

The DCA dont really bother me as they are being very tame at the moment.

 

I am sure it will get worse but I do have a couple of trump cards up my sleeve so I am feeling confident about the whole thing.

 

I will post any updates soon as i get them and any help I can offer.

 

Thanks for looking in and I hope that things start looking up for us all!

 

Regards,

Hi again all.

UPDATE.

 

I have had a letter from MOORCROFT RECOVERY last week stating that if I dont pay within 7 days they are going to take me to court!

Happy days.

 

They also rang 6 times a day on mon/tue/wed and i ignored them.

(quickley googled their number when it rang)

 

Think I will let them do their worst and just wait for the summons to come.

 

I have a feeling that BOS have not mentioned to them that they have already confirmed in writing that the debt is unenforceable.

 

time will tell!

Hi all and merry xmas! Quick update.

 

Got a letter from Moorcroft dca 3 weeks ago saying that it was the final notice before court,

 

I then got a letter on the 24th dec saying that they will be happy with me paying £120 per month

and kindly put a giro payment slip on the bottom of the letter.

 

It must be their festive spirit getting to their otherwise non existant feeling of goodwill

as I have not had any contact with them what so ever.

(ignorance is bliss)

 

I will post copies of the letters on my return to work after the 5th.

 

I wish everyone that has looked at this thread and of course the great cerb, a very happy new year!

Hi again all.

Its been a very busy start to the year, well at least for the DCA s!!

 

I now have capQuest recovery sending week me weekly letters. The latest one is as follows.

 

'we note with regret that you have chosen not to deal with this matter despite our previous communication endeavouring to assist

you in coming to a satisfactory agreement to settle this account without the need for legal action.

 

it is therefore our intention to progress your account to our pre-legislation system where the relevant validations and checks will be completed.

your account will then be passed to our solicitors who may commence legal action on or around 7 june 11.

 

through the litigation process we will ask to seek an order of the court, directing you to pay monies outstanding.

if we are successful and it is necessary to do so, we will seek to enforce such an order with a warrent of execution.

in the event that we obtain a woe, a court enforcement officer (bailiff) will be assigned to attend your address and carry out the warrant.

 

The bailiff will take an inventory and levy goods. you will be informed that the bailiff has impounded the goods

and you will be asked to sign a walking possesion agreement, acknowledging that the impounded goods are in the possession of the bailiff.

if full payment or a satisfactory offer of a payment plan is not made, the bailiff is authorised to remove the goods for sale to pay the debt and costs.

 

a walking possession agreement means that the goods that have been seized now legally belong to the bailiff and can be removed at any time.

 

however, she/he will allow them to remain in your home and you can continue to use them providing you keep your side of the agreement, e.g. you make agreed payments.

 

the fees charged by the bailiffs will be added to the amount owed. any additional costs for removing and selling goods will also be added to the amount you owe.

 

you should also remeber that any goods you own may lose value over time.

this may mean that if the bailiff seizes goods to discharge the sum you owe,

although the value of those goods will not exceed the amount you owe, it may cost you more to replace them.

 

all of this action is avoilable. it is therefore in your interest to prevent the above course of action by contacting this office immediately

to discuss settlement or your proposed arrangement to settle this debt.

 

our experienced pre-litigation team are on hand to assist you,

but this can only happen if you make contact before 7 jun11 a

nd failure to respond by the date outlined will result in legal action being instigated.'

 

So that s we are at!

 

I am wondering if now is the time to point out to them to get in touch with pref account

and ask them to have a look at the letter they sent or will I continue to stay silent.

 

Bailiffs coming to my door does not bother me at all if im honest.

 

I would like to know what powers they have if i am not in when they do call

ie will my better half answering the door give them the right to enter my house or do they have to deal with me only.

I appreciate any thoughts you may all have.

Thanks.

For a start they will have needed to have obtained a CCJ against you which you have then defaulted on, then they would need to apply to a court for permission to enforce. Obviously they need to prove there is an enforceable debt before they can obtain a CCJ. ;)

Only if you let them in, they have no power of entry.
