    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the charge dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant 1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land. 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N 7 Who is the parking company? MET 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre (Northampton) Name of the Claimant ? PRA Group (UK) Limited How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self Date of issue – 23/5/24 AOS - Tues, 11/6/24 (19 days)  Defence - Thurs, 25/6/24 (33 days) Particulars of Claim 1. The Claimant claims the sum of £7926 for an outstanding debt owed. 2. On 20/4/18 the Defendant entered into an agreement with Lloyds Bank for a Credit Card under reference [16 numbers]. 3. On 10/5/22 the Defendant defaulted on the agreement with an outstanding balance of £7296. 4. On 28/11/23 the debt of £7296 was assigned to PRA Group (UK) Limited, who itself assigned the debt to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd on 30/12/23. Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925. The Claimant has instructed PRA Group (UK) to act on its behalf and the CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £7925 What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021. Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not personally - probably sent to my parents Why did you cease payments? Unable to afford, living abroad What was the date of your last payment? Unsure (probably 2021) Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No ................... I have read through a number of similar threads, one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid),  not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it. Also redacted claim form attached: Claim form 23-5-24.pdf

    • 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.

Just a thought is there anyway you could scan and send the documents you have signed and post them up,this might be classed as sensitive information so you can do it on a private message if you like and i dont mean to me personally i mean to anyone on the forum that may be able to help,just thought i would clear that up for anyone who is reading this.I dont think it would hurt to take a look at the contract,a fresh pair of eyes and all that.

Are you sure you're tied into this deal? - I don't thing any house sale is cut and dried until the last minute - and it's a hell of a lot of equity to lose. Go to a solicitor (you can get a free hour's advice at most firms) and ask them to check the paperwork for this. I know you have a lot on your plate, but please don't lose all that equity without exploring other options.

Hi Ell, thanks for your concern and sorry I haven't been back on here for a while. I'm pretty much resigned to all of this going through, and to be honest I can't wait to see the back of the house now - its gone from my lovely home to a source of too much stress. All being well, it should be done and dusted sometime in the next couple of weeks and I can then start to get on with my life. I'm not sure there are any other avenues open to me anyway, as I got the repo order from the court yesterday outlining how I must vacate on the specified date and without any other buyers in the vicinity .... well, as I said, should all be over with in next few weeks. Thanks for all your help in this, you've been a star x

Well i did some research this afternoon and it looks to me like your getting more or less the going rate from them in terms of these private companies and to be honest i cannot find anything in the way of bad press or complaints.I must admit im in agreement with Ellenn here its an awfull lot to loose and personally i would be looking to apply on n244 at the eviction stage for an extention of time so i could do my best to sell on the open market,however if your still determined to go down this route and be shot of the place i can understand that too.I would check to see if i were tied in or not to this agreement ,if not you could at least shop around a little more and please,please before you go signing things come back to this forum where we can advise before you sign on dotted lines,even the most simple of questions you will get help with on the forum,we are here to help and advise so use us,its no trouble:smile:

Hi Newstarter, thanks for your comments. The market is as dead as a dodo where I live and absolutely nothing is moving. I’ve not had any interest in months so like I said to Ell, I’m pretty much resigned to this – its either sell to this company or lose it to repo anyway and the charges that that will entail. I’ve done my research on the firm (FSA – check, Companies House – check, and no adverse publicity either) and they seem to come out ok, but I’m putting an awful lot of trust in them and I can only hope and pray that I don’t get ripped off. Will come back at the end of it all and let you know how I get on.

Hi Massamum,

 

I sorry to hear that...

 

I can't help feeling that the unfair relationships legislation could've helped you... have a read of Peter Bentley's case and see how much applies to you.

 

Best wishes for the future.

Thanks for that AnimalMagic and for your good wishes. That was an interesting read and I’m so happy for Peter Bentley to get such a good outcome, he deserves it. My mortgage isn’t regulated under CCA though so I doubt I’d get anywhere and haven't the stomach for it now either, but I’m sure it could apply to a lot of other people. I can’t wait for all of this to end now.

Sorry this is crazy, I understand your situation and I do feel for you these companies are just as bad as DCA's. Did you think about going to auction fast quick sale and you could have set a similar reserve! These companies do buy at auction and you may well have found they compete. Its so much to lose I feel for you. You could have advert' in the local paper a builder may have snapped it up for a much better price please I hope this helps you and its not too late...

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Please do not PM me I do not use the PM service. Please use a link on my thread for any help or to talk.

I think it's quite easy to say to sell through an estate agent, go to auction, reduce price etc etc but the situation on the ground is quite different. Houses on the market are not selling. There is lot of inventory building up especially in areas which are not prosperous. I have seen several houses on the market which even after substantial reduction in prices, are not generating any interest. Buyers have a hell lot of choices available. Also we need to be realistic about the time it takes to get the money after the house sale completion, not all people can wait that long.

I thought it was time I updated on my situation. After a great deal of stress, the sale went ahead, I had to jump through many a hoop in the process. It was all very dodgy but finally completed and I got my money - not as much as I was expecting as the swines shafted me the day before completion by slashing thousands off the (already ridiculously low) price, I was in too deep at that point to back out and they knew it. A lesson to be learned and I think I may have got more if the house had been repossessed but I can't afford to have regrets now and will forge ahead as best I can. So much for "regulated" companies.

Thanks for the update. It's really disappointing to hear your experience of a quick sale. This clearly means that people should stay away at least from the company which you used for this purpose.

I know what it is like to get shafted many times in life and it feels SH>>T. Sorry to be blunt.:-x

 

If I can offer you some words of help or advice then look up a poem if you dont know it already that is called "footprints" it may help you feel better about life. Not a religious person myself however I think you can take "GOD" to mean your best friend or close partner loved one etc.. Look it up it may help...

 

Im so sorry the company did that to you.. Last thing you needed however you seem to have things in perspective SO I WISH ALL THE BEST OF LUCK FOR THE FUTURE...:-)

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear how you were treated by these people. However, please try not to take the bad experience with you when you move on to what should be a new start for you. You did what you thought was best at the time and put your trust in those who let you down.

 

I like to believe in karma - people like that should suffer themselves at some point for what they did.

 

I hope you can find peace in your new home and can put all the troubles you have had behind you.

Not blunt at all Drowning, absolutely spot on actually. Thanks for your kind and supportive words and sorry you’ve been shafted many times too, there are some bad people out there. I hope life is treating you better now. I love the footprints poem.

Thanks Ell, I’m slowly but surely getting there. Can’t allow myself to think too deeply about what’s happened, write it off to experience and look forward. I’m in a nice flat and I have a (small) amount of money to play with so I can’t grumble, there are many far worse off than me. And yes, their karma will catch up with them at some point.

Hi Massamum,

 

It's been a while since i've been on CAG, and I was so sorry to read this thread, it's sounds like you've had a really hard time and yes these companies are always out to make a fast buck - a very large fast buck!

 

Just wanted to say, having to give up your home isn't easy- it's stressful trying to keep it and heartbreaking to hand over to someone else, but believe me life really does get better when all that stress is no longer on your shoulders.

 

Enjoy your new home and take care of yourself.

Hi Joemay,

Thank you so much for your kind words. You are absolutely right, life does get better! I am settling into my new home nicely and I am beginning to relax after literally years of the most awful, burdensome worry.

Hope life is treating you well?
