    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Here is a termination letter that I received on the 14th June 2010

 

ScannedImage-1.jpg

 

I contacted them to explain that I have never received a default notice and was reassured that it would be resent and received no later than Monday 21st June.

 

Still no default notice to this date but I have received a letter from Albion Collections Ltd on the 30th June 2010.:(

Despite the termination of the credit agreement AND passing on to a collection agency I was shocked to see that on the same date as the letter from Albion was created Halifax had added a further £155 worth of charges!!!:-x

I would really appreciate some urgent guidance regarding this matter.

31st March 2010 arranged Ovd fee £4 unarranged Ovd fee £85?

These fees are bordering on extortion you need to get these fees refunded.

You was in credit with £10.03.

Unbelievable.

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.

Albion is HBOS inhouse lot.

 

I am also dealing with them for a current account that's gone over the limit, been getting letters for months now, fees which are still being added whilst with these Albion people (but being as they are one and the same outfit, there you go) ... which I won't go into are 'extortionate' to the point you read them and think 'what??!'.

 

But, when you consider that they now charge £5 per day for unarranged overdraft... plus other charges that came in last Autumn ... not hard to see why. But those charges/figures don't appear to make sense to me following being in credit by £10. Oh, wait ... just glanced back at February and saw you were in debit ... seems they've added charges a few months later, though, not at the time your account was overdrawn. Doesn't loook right to me. How they've perhaps gone about this. Maybe someone else can confirm it. Given the amount it's suddenly flown up to eg over £400!

Poorly since becoming unemployed and mostly only getting agency cover work

What default notice? To date I've never received one despite requesting one.

 

I made the mistake of telephoning them but I did take the name of the person I was speaking with and recorded the name etc

 

The two deposits of £100 that you may have noticed were made by having to sell items just to pay off the charges. Now I have nothing and am unable to pay!

 

 

 

Daylight and legalised robbery!

I received a letter this morning dated the 10th July.

 

Does anybody else believe that this letter looks threatening and should be reported?

 

ScannedImage-5.jpg

 

 

I wrote a reply immediately and it has already been sent first class recorded (15-07-2010 13:06)

 

I used this template to base my reply on ;)

 

 

 

Also, what is the best plan of attack/defence here?

 

Obviously I need to pay an amount back but I feel that I have been severely mistreated in all this. I believe that the charges are very unfair and basically taking the urine out of someone that is in financial hardship?

 

The complete amount outstanding is due to BANK CHARGES that have been applied at the ridiculous daily rate.

 

The first default notice referred to in the termination letter was never received.

 

The second default was never received.

 

Despite the account being terminated charges are still being applied???

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Oh Joy, oh joy don't we just love telephone calls from DCA's at 11:13 on a Sunday morning after already instructing that communication will only be done in writing.

 

I am now going to reprint my letter that I sent recorded delivery on the 15th July 2010 along with the letter addressing "Harassing telephone calls"

 

It still amuses me that when they call they ask you to confirm your details, I refused on this occasion. When I mentioned that I will only discuss my finances in writing the lady on the end of the phone said that they have sent me letters and not had a reply and that they are just trying to resolve the situation.

 

Funny isn't it, THEY load MY account with charges and terminate my agreement and then expect me to reply to PAY NOW template crap that they send through my door? If I was in a position to pay anything the account wouldn't have got into debt in the first case.... FRICKING MUPPET'S!!!!:mad:

 

I think I'll leave it a little while before attempting to construct any type of reply:)

Could somebody be kind enough to browse over the contents I have added to this letter and post an opinion please?

 

I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

 

I have verbally requested that these stop, but I am still receiving calls. The most recent was received from 0845 6029441 at 11:13 Sunday 25th July 2010.

 

I have also enclosed a copy of the letter that I sent by first class recorded post on the 15th July 2010. This letter was signed for on 19th July 2010.

 

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.

 

I am of the view that your continued harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

 

Be advised that any further telephone calls from your company will be recorded.

 

Unfortunately I must advise you that further PAY NOW or Call us now template letters reminding me of the outstanding balance will be ignored. I do not have the funds available to keep sending replies via first class recorded delivery, which is how you will receive each and every necessary reply from me.

 

If somebody wishes to take a personal interest in helping to resolve this issue then you will receive my complete cooperation.

 

 

 

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, perhaps somebody may be able to advise who I should direct my letters to as I believe that the amount is very unfair because it was bank charges applied to my account that took me overdrawn, and charges on top of these charges that have lead to this total?

 

Many Thanks

Albion are in house letter writers for Halifax so little point in writing to them.

 

Address it to Halifax instead--it most likely will be tossed in the waste paper bin,but eventually they might act on your request.

 

There is a good template letter in the CAG library regarding telephone harrassment.

 

It's recommended to purchase a Truecall which effectively stops them getting through to you but if that is out of your reach at the moment an ordinary answer phone set to cut in after a couple of rings or less is useful as they soon get fed up of not being able to get through.

I would delete the last two paragraphs, they are not interested in your personal life or predicament.

 

Ad for the charges they have applied to your account, you need to reclaim these back, but expect to have to get the FOS involved in this.

 

Make a formal complaint about this excuse for a bank to the OFT/TS via Consumer Direct - Contact us

 

You might like to email the CEO;

[email protected]

As Halifax are part of the Lloyds banking group.

 

If recorded del is getting too costly, just get proof of postage, I fail to see why litigants should have to stump up extra P&P costs whilst these fools get away with sending correspondence walk sort, 2nd class.

 

Send it all to Albion, which is Halifax hence why they are still adding on their own charges...fools...and make that complaint.

I think it's a good idea to write to the organ grinder rather than the monkeys.

 

Try starting the letter:

 

'I refer to your letter dated xxxx, sent on your Albion letterhead.' I took a similar line when dealing with the hopeless MCS/HSBC. Initially I'd reply to MCS and the next letter would be from HSBC; respond to that and the reply would be from a different department or MCS. So, I sent everything to HSBC at their registered office, and they stopped playing games.

I have enclosed my letter that you received via Recorded First Class Delivery on the 19th July which clearly instructed

 

 

I WILL ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU IN WRITING.

 

 

 

I have requested verbally and in writing that telephone calls from your company stop because I find the quantity and frequency personally harassing.

I love the signatures on the Halifax and Albion letters you posted. Living proof that they employ chimps going on the quality of the signatures.

 

The last letter I wrote to a DCA who couldn't grasp the basics of what I had tried to tell them in 2 previous letters, ended up with it written in capital letters in blue crayon. At the bottom it said, "If you still don't understand, please as a grown up to help you." :D

 

The reply was, "in view of your complaint, we're returning the account to our client."
