    • 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.

Hi,

 

I bought from Argos clearance on Ebay, however, the postal address wasnt right and I realized this immediately after I clicked on confirm.

 

I tried frantically to get in touch with them, and I sent them a message immediately after I placed the order on Sunday. I then desperately tried ringing the seller number on Monday and the phone was never picked up or answered. It just kept ringing.

 

Today I found out it has been delivered to the wrong address despite my best efforts to contact them. I eventually managed to get through to them today on the phone and they simply were not interested and even accused me of being a liar.

 

In terms of options, I am prepared to open the dispute console, or even charge the money back from my card.

 

Please help.

Stephany.

Hi Stephany

 

Welcome to CAG

 

Some of the guys will be along to advise.

 

Do you know the actual address it's gone to?, I know it's not ideal but it might be an idea to track it down? There are loads of tools on the internet to track the address. Unfortunately, Argos aren't the Customer Friendly company they use to be.

Hello, it was my old company in another part of the country. I got an embarrassing email from them saying that they had a parcel for me. Ideally they would have refused the delivery. I wish that had done that. Also, I also asked the seller to CANCEL the order if this could not be ammended. The seller didnt check their messages and I feel they failed to provide me with the service that they had a duty to provide me as a buyer!

Hi Steffany

 

Send an e-mail to Argos explaining whats happened?

Why you think think Argos should rectify the situation?

Tell them you want the item picked up form it's current location

and delivered to you.

 

Have a read of this, it gives you details of your rights:- http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/after_you_buy/making-complaint/template-letters/dsr_letter/

 

You can detail your rights in your e-mail to Argos,

 

Address it for the attention of Sara Weller, Chief Executive

Clearance Bargains unfortunately is not dealt with by Argos customer services as it comes under its on entity within the company, DSR do allow for rejecting the goods and sending them back at your expense (though they do need to refund the delivery charge).

Ex-Retail Manager who is happy to offer helpful advise in many consumer problems based on my retail experience. Any advise I do offer is my opinion and how I understand the law.

why is argos at fault?

The buyer entered the wrong address and argos have delivered the product to the address given at time of purchase.

You cant blame them for your own mistakes.

 

Troll. Reported.

Troll. Reported.

 

Why is he a troll when all he's done is tell the truth?

I was thinking the same thing, am i a troll then?

 

Its up to the buyer (you) to provide the correct address at time of payment

Just looking in. I'm afraid Steffany you have to fae up to the fact that it was your mistake. Unfortunate, but true. Of course, the people at the address where the goods were delivered have no right to keep them, so you should be able to get them or DSR to sort it out.

Can we rename the title of this as its misleading should be "I made a mistake on Argos eBay order" the thread should be dealing with how best to get the goods back as the address have illegally obtained your goods. Might be worth having a word with the police as that address should have refused delivery as your name was no longer there. Good Luck OP!

Atlantis is right. There are 2 possibilities:

 

1. the people at the delievery address kept the goods. They have no right to do so. Ask them for the goods (nicely) and, if they refuse, go to the police.

 

2. the people at the delivery address either refused to accept the goods or sent them back. Contact DSR for a new delivery (you will probably have to pay for it). You have paid for the goods so you are entitled to them.

I know this is different from Ebay clearance but when I purchased an expensive item from Argos store last year and found it faulty. I went back to the store that I purchased it from and they were wonderful.

 

They arranged for the item to be returned and paid me £25.00 for employing a handy man for trying to put the item up for me.

 

The store returned my initial purchased plus cost of delivery, the store gave me a name of their customers services to write to for reimbursement of the £25.00 handyman fee. I really thought that I would not get from them but true to their word I got a cheque for £25.00 a couple of weeks later. Well done ARGOS. :eek:
