    • best to be sure it is a N279. not that they pull any underhand stunts of course   but we have seen it. your bal is now £0 but we'll still attend court as you'll probably not as we've said we've closed the account and we'll get a judgement by default. dx  
    • Sorry, last bit They had ticked that they wanted the application dealt with without a hearing, so is there any relevance that a date and time to attend said hearing has been sent out ?
    • I've not seen it personally but I think that's the letter Dad has had from Overdales. I'll see it tomorrow. It states balance: zero
    • Agreed as you clearly have little faith in your star runners, mind you - I have less - conditional on the welcher clause I defined being part, and that we are talking about the three defined candidates: Tice Farage and Anderson - not anyone anywhere as reform might (outside chance) get someone decent to run somewhere. If any of the three dont run - they count as a loss.   welcher clause. "If either of us loses and doesn't pay - we agree the site admin will change the welchers avatar permanently to a cows ass - specific cows ass avatar chosen by the winner - with veto by site on any too offensive - requiring another to be chosen  (or of course, DP likely allows you can delete your account and all your worthless posts to cheapskate chicken out and we'll just laugh) "
    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.   They have asked for extension Because 2) The Claimant requires additional time to consider and reconcile data received from Royal Mail which is relevant to these proceedings against their own data and records in order to submit detailed evidence in support of this Claim.

    • 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.

At the very top of the image is part of a web address, is this what appears on your copy, or is this due to your copying the document from an online resource?

 

If they have copied this from an online source, then I would say it's not a copy of your agreement, it's a 2nd generation copy, ie a copy of a copy, I know it's a pedantic point, but have you asked them if they have the original?

 

If the account number on the agreement is didfferent from the one they are attempting to enforce, then it doesn't really matter how enforceable this is, it's not the one they're enforcing

Hi thanks for the reply, the copy that was sent to me has the the web image at the top of the page, i asked for the original when i asked for the cca in the first letter that i sent, they did not reply in 12 + 2 so sent no response letter waitded and got that copy from them some 30 odd days later!! would it be able for them to use it against me if they can tie it in with the account number that they are chasing !!! cos the cca they've sent is a copy for an agreement that has been settled 4 years ago which can be proved by the statement i have.

There is certainly some confusion here.

 

If you want to be pedantic then you could send the account in dispute making sure that you quote the correct number for the account you want it for (if that makes sense) ie. Not the Account number as supplied. You need not give them the above information, just tell them you are still waiting for the information as made in your first request. In my opinion, even if they did take it any further, they have sent paperwork relevant to an unrelated account, so still in dispute , which you can prove in Court.

Hi thanks for getting back to me, I've already got the account in dispute stating the fact that it has a different account number on the cca, i also sent a copy of the statement showing credit and account number, (probably not the right thing to do at this stage, but, seen the blatent errors and seen red!!!!:mad:), just waiting reply from O/C and DCA.

Recieved letter from Lowlife today stating they are contacting O/C about account and that they have noted what i have said!!! they have not sent me a copy of their complaints procedure, as requested, in the last letter that i sent them!!! should i demand a copy??? or wait until they get back with a response from O/C, my understanding is that they have 30 days in which to give their reasons, if any, to continue persuing the disputed debt??and that they must remove all info concerned??

Guest Cartaphilus

Perhaps you could try going via the FOS, then they might provide you with a copy of their complaints procedure (usually once they get involved in things).

and didnt get much of a response, "advice needed with cca",

 

I did reply to your thread, but whilst I am not expert, did point out a few things with it that were wrong.

"Cartaphilus" Please dont take it as a personal shot at you !!! your advice was noted in my other thread, I was merely suggesting that i didnt feel as though i was getting any further assistance in that thread is all !!!.

Have read many posts on here and from what i can gather is that its normally a waste of time asking fos as it takes too long for a response!!!

If the dca do not reply within the 30 day limit is there a letter template that I should send them or should i just ignore it and consider that they have deemed it unenforcable and will not process the account ???

Where are the other four pages? As it clearly states page 5 of 5.

 

The time limit for the CCA request is 12 working days from when they received the request, if after that time they fail to supply a true copy of an enforceable CCA then you should send them the account in dispute letter, stop payments, and sit tight for their next move.

 

A SAR request however has a 40 day time limit in which they must comply, failure to do so, will result in a formal complaint to the ICO for failing to provide the necessary documents within the prescribed time limit.

Thanks Bazooka Boo!!, that was the only page of the 5 that was sent apart from a letter which only stated that what they say is due and that a copy of cca as requested was attached!! I responded by sending fake/reconstituted letter template as the cca was not an original as requested and that they did not comply with a full statement of account also,all i got was the letter saying that £1.00 had been paid in the last year, £1.00 is i assume the postal order that i sent for cca request,as i have not sent or paid any monies to them.

So do you suggest a subject access request and wait for them to reply!!

I can't get a credit report as they require that I have a debit/credit card which I dont have because i cant open a bank account because of the default on my credit reference!!! any sollutions to this would be greatly appreciated...Thank's!!!

You can still get a credit report from experian by sending them £2 have a look on their website for how to do this.

Free Credit Report, Credit Rating Check & Fraud Alerts from Experian Credit Expert

 

As for them foolishly attempting to restart the limitation period by misapropriating your postal order payment for the CCA request toward the account, no need to worry, as this is a common tactic used by the less professional DCA's in their misguided attempts to ensure they can harass you for a little longer.

 

I would now ask for their complaints procedure to be sent by return of post, and exhaust it fully, the CCA request clearly states that the enclosed £1 PO is for the statutory fee for the agreement, and is not to be used against the debt.

 

If they continue playing silly buggers, then contact the FOS and lodge a complaint with them.

our complaints procedure and how to complain

Thats for the FOS. Give them a ring and explain, they will tell you if they can help or who would be better to assist you.

 

As for the CRA's unfortunately they are all in the pockets of the DCA's, as they get paid money by the DCA to put adverse data on your CRF.

 

As for different ones, there are Call Credit, Experian, and Equifax.

Yeah it used to be called the bemused letter, but I believe it has been superseded by this one;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/574-letter-when-account-has-been-passed-on-whilst-agreement-request-is-in-dispute

 

All the letter templates are here;

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors.html

 

Just bookmark the link so you can quickly access it in future.

 

The first link is the letter sent out when the account is in dispute due to their failure to provide an enforceable CCA or anything at all, then if, sorry, when they sell it on, that is the letter to use aswell as reporting the first DCA whom the account was in default with, to the OFT & TS via consumer direct.

There is another way to get a 'free' credit report. You can get 1 report per year here;

Free Credit Report now and every year - annualcreditreport

 

I notice they now charge a £2.50 one-off 'setup' fee which they didn't charge when I first used it, which meant I didn't have to give them any credit card or bank details.

 

I haven't checked to see what payment methods are possible for the setup fee, but it might be worth you looking at the site.

 

Cheers

  • 3 weeks later...

Have had still no word from lowlifes since last letter that i sent them (12th June), I have just recieved a copy of my crf today and is showing a default in lowlifes name with £154.00 added onto the original disputed debt, are they allowed to do this ??? original debt was for £514.00 as showing on crf. if an account is in dispute do they have to remove the default whilst they try to prove otherwise??? rest of my crf is in order except for this!!!!. as i said they still have not replied to my last letter asking them to state their intent,reasons and evidence i.e actual cca for the disputed amount and not one that clearly states is for an amount that has been settled and with a different account number,the 30 day response has now well passed please could someone advise on what messures to take now!!!! are lowlifes breaking any laws by still keeping the default on my file?? as the last letter i sent stated S.10 of the Data Protection act where the must now cease processing any data of the disputed account including with cra's.

Lowlifes like to sail close to the wind, however, once the account is put into dispute, then no extra charges can be added until the dispute is sorted.

 

The only person who can add charges is the OC, and even then these must be in line with the agreement you signed with them, a DCA cannot simply add their own mickey mouse charges and they know it, no-one has ever been taken to court for spurious charges added on by a DCA.

 

What you can do regarding your CRF is add a notice of correction to it, stating that the account is in dispute due to any evidence of such an account existing.

 

As Lowlifes are pushing their pulheems (sorry Military term:D) a complaint to the ICO about them contravening the data protection act in their continuance to process your data without a CCA should 'hopefully' get them a fine of up to £500,000, we can but try!

Thank you very much for the advice you have so far gave me !! :) !!

I have came up with this to send to Lowlifes as ICO states i must contact them to let them know what i intend to do if they can't resolve it!!!!

 

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY

 

Dear Sirs,

Account No: ********

Having recieved a copy of my credit file today I was duly dismayed at the fact that you are still processing the data held on this account, my file shows that you still have a default in force on my file.

I stated in my last correspondence to you, on the **/**/****, S.10 of the Data Protection Act......

 

You may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under s.10 of the Data Protection Act 1998 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.

 

......You will leave me with no other option than to report you to the relevent authorities if this is not resolved with immediate effect, you are clearly in breach of guide lines set out by the regulatory authorities, I am sure you are well aware of the implications and penalties that could ensue if I do not get satisfactory action on this matter.

I have been patient in waiting for a response in regard to my last letter to your company, which clearly stated that if you did not respond within 30 days I expect that you agree to remove such Data.

I remind you 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 unless you contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint. I therefore request a copy of your official complaints procedure which you are obliged to supply.

In light of the above, I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter and look forward to hearing from you, in writing within 7 days.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Anyadvice on if this is suffice enough would be gratefully recieved :).

That is the usual letter, but unfortunately, they mostly ignore it, saying that they have the right because of the signed Agreement (thats' right, the one they cannot produce!)

 

A few caggers have had success in getting their files corrected, but it is very hard work, up to the point in some cases of taking Court Action.
