    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . dx

    • 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.

For those who have problems with pages freezing or not loading properly try 'refreshing' the page.

 

Not being funny but that is like teaching granny to suck eggs. The issue is with this site and this site only. There was even a vBulletin databse error earlier, Webby should have logs for that in the form of emails, as they are normally generated automatically.

 

If the search index is being redone, that would explain some of the slow down granted, but it is dfinitely on this site and not a user's PC so no amount of refreshing would solve it. The only time the refresh would work is when the site responds and shows itself within that person's browsers.

hi letsdothis, yes you are quite right, the other web sites i visit load very fast, etc, this one as present freezes,

and the refresh button is nothing to do with the problems, but i think we will all just have to give webby the time

to sort out the teething problems, it will be worth it in the end, orrrr for webby!

I am getting annoyed about the ad above appearing in every single thread as part of the 'last

post'

 

Me too! - irritating to say the least.

 

Also, the italics in the quote box is 'fuzzy' to read and the Quick Reply text is about size 5 - tiny....any way that can be improved?

Hi totiesquoties

 

No worries, I know things take time, but I just wanted Webby to know the issues are there that I listed. Plus others can also see, and then realise it is not just them, or their PC or the Internet playing up.

 

It will be worth it in the end once all the issues are sorted, I agree.

It's hard to sound positive whilst at the same time being constructive.... Trying to help saying "this is in the wrong place and this button doesn't work" and we're trying to help but the emotionless state that text is it can be read as whining quite easily, which I promise I'm not :p

 

An extra pixel or 2 on the font size wouldn't hurt in this world of hi-res monitors (point of interest, on my parents PC, my fathers account he has in 800 x 600 so he can read the writing on forums :lol:... I have told him he can zoom in but he prefers the old resolution!), If it went up for a vote for / against italics in quotes, I'd be against and that add within the last block of text is annoying, plus if someone has quoted someone else, the quoted text goes over the advert anyway (like this)

I know this must seem a tiny issue.... but I can't get any smilies!! lol

 

I've tried "Go advanced" but they're not on there and if I put them in manually they sometimes come out wrong. Eg. ;-) should be a wink but it's looking deliriously happy instead... lol

Why does the site perform differently on different PCs? Or could that be the browser i'm using?

 

I'm on my work PC now. If I go 'advanced' it works OK, all smilies there etc. If I use my laptop I can't get it to open the 'advanced' window. But different browsers is the only main difference I can think of.

That's exactly that, Mand.

 

Last week, when it all changed, various people were reporting different problems depending on which browser they were using.

 

Ah ha! Makes sense now. Definately getting better by the day. keep finding new bits - like my own threads - which I couldn't find before.

Another niggle, when someone is quoted there is a link to their post, looks like this viewpost-right.png. That is only linking to the 1st post in the thread at the moment.

 

This one is a major issue.

 

Basically when the site was upgraded (I guess) the database was re-indexed. Problem is with deleted posts etc etc the original indexes would have had posts 'missing' gaps in the index.

When these get re-indexed these gaps are closed up.

 

So, the problem is that the historic threads have the index to the quoted post 'hard coded' into the page. And now the index number doesn't make sense.

 

An absolute nightmare to fix IMHO, and moreso as time goes on as each post made since the upgrade will be reusing post #s from the original site.

 

I may be completely wrong though :D I am just a user on here

I agree about the quotes being italicised - it's a pain in the bum when you're trying to emphasize a word to stress and you end up having to underline which does not give the same effect. I do actually prefer the look of the italics, I just don't think they function as well as plain fonts.

 

Also, has anyone had any issues with the site re-formatting stuff you put in? I copied and pasted a letter from my files, and all of my formatting (such as underlining, colour, bold etc) disappeared. The layout wasn't affected but the content was wiped of all additions to the plain font.

The 'ad issue' is easily solved, but that is obviously a decision that has to be made by 'the boss'

 

It clearly doesn't work where it is, and it can easily be put underneath the last post or down the left beside the last post. Or slightly more involved, formatting the quote to 'give it room'

I'm sure this will be sorted once the 'real usability' issues are dealt with.

It is very annoying when the "Edit" facility bombs you out after 5 minutes. My spelling and grammar is not great so I rely on the Edit function, but because I suffer from RA, it takes time for me to read and correct my mistakes but by then you can't edit.

Webby is trying to solve the historical search problem, which is meaning that the server is working hard on re-indexing. This will cause problems for a while over the site

 

Over 24 hours it took to re-index all the posts, and during that time the server was pretty overloaded. So apologies for the site being slow on Weds/Thurs. The good news is that this has solved the problem of search pre-upgrade posts

Sorry, still dont like it, its bland to view and difficult to work

 

For eample, how afetr plaqcing a new post do I change the notification from instant email to via control panel? Its probably me but it seems very complicated the old layout was much easier to use
