    • do you ultimately want to keep the car?
    • Thank you!    It was bought on my debit card    
    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. 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.

24 months is the "minimum term" is is not a 24 month contract. I believe you can send a letter on the 23rd month giving the 30 days notice to cancel the contract so that it ends on the 24th month.

 

I've signed a two year contract, an agreement for two years and no longer. Of course if I want to leave before that two years is up then 30 days notice and payment of the remaining TWO YEARS worth of charges would be due. All I'm saying is, why should I have to cancel something that is a fixed length and has a natural conclusion? At the end of two years I'd expect my phone service to end unless I'd told them I'd like it to continue. I will cancel my direct debit on the last day of my contract and cease using my phone.

Still can't see any mention of being charged by vodafone beyond the two year long contract I'd agreed to enter with them. My obligation is to pay 24 x the monthly charge and not a penny more.

And surely minimum term means as I said above, I'm obliged under the contract to pay a minimum of 24 months.

I dispute the fact that I have to 'opt out' of this roll over charging when I never opted in in the first place. In my case I would have to contact vodafone on Christmas day to cancel a contract that is due to end anyway on jan 25th.

If I forget or am unable to do this I will be charged for another month. I still can't see anything in the T&C's about this.

I dispute the fact that I have to 'opt out' of this roll over charging when I never opted in in the first place. It's part of the standard contract, "24 month minimum term" means you must pay for 24 months minimum, there is no maximum or fixed length In my case I would have to contact vodafone on Christmas day to cancel a contract that is due to end anyway on jan 25th. That's unfortunate timing! Will you be wanting to take your mobile number to your new provider? I'm sure Lee will post back how best to do this to incurr as little charge as possible.

If I forget or am unable to do this I will be charged for another month. I still can't see anything in the T&C's about this. You can set a reminder using something like www.google.com/calendar

 

Hope that helps. I'm sure Lee will give you a more comprehensive reply when he gets online :)

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

Many thanks locutus. Good info.

I still maintain that there is no mention of having to give notice for a contract ending in the vodafone T&C's. Perhaps Lee could point out to me exactly where this is mentioned.

I spoke to vodafone customer services at length about this and eventually the customer service guy had to agree with me - no mention of this obligation anywhere in the T&C's.

He actually advised me no action would be necessary on my part - my contract will end and my service disconnected (as it should) on 25th Jan. I will cancel my DD and destroy the sim on that date. £20 says I'll get another bill in feb.

Another thing in the contract is that telecoms companies report to credit reference agencies, so cancelling your DD and not paying your bill would result in your credit rating going down, so you really need to be on top of this,

 

Telecoms billing is hard to get your head around sometimes, you pay your contract amount in advance, but call charges in arrears, so after the 25th of January there may be some charges (especially if you call any 0845 numbers etc that don't come out of your bundled allowance)

Hi CAGlink31.gif members,

 

We thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves and to assure you all that our presence on CAGlink31.gif is with the very best of intentions.

vodafonelink3.gif UK has recently introduced a dedicated Web Relations Team which is keen to seek out customers who’re having difficulties with their accounts and feel that they have no other place to turn to than CAG and other consumer forums and blogs.

Naturally, it’s not possible for us to help directly with account specific queries on CAG and as such we would encourage those members who feel we can help them to contact us privately and securely using the ‘Contact us’ form on the Vodafone website with your account details.

https://help.vodafone.co.uk/system/s...PARTITION_ID=1

 

When emailing us we would also ask that you either provide us with a link to your post or thread – if you’ve posted in another member’s thread please also provide your CAG username so that we can check what your query is – and state the code WRT135 within the body of your email to make sure it comes through to us.As soon as we’ve received your email we’ll endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible.

 

Many thanks

 

Web Relations Team

Vodafone UK.

CAG members contacting us, add the code WRT135 in the subject line in order ensure that email gets routed into our queue.

 

In fairness I'm not sure how rigid the "30 days notice" is, and weather it is 30 days minimum... Maybe the person you spoke to has actioned this so that on 25th January your contract will end. I'd just like to be safe and double check that Lee can confirm this.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

Hi Red313,

 

Thanks for raising this with me.

 

In addition to the helpful guidance provided by locutus I'd add that our pay monthly agreements are subject to minimum contractual commitments. This is disclosed in the terminology section of our pay monthly Terms and Conditions (T&C's) here (Section 1).

 

In regard to ending the agreement Section 11 of the T&C's covers this off and as locutus rightly points out the process doesn't require the customer to submit their notice exactly thirty days from when their minimum contractual commitment is due to be fulfilled.

 

I spoke to vodafone customer services at length about this and eventually the customer service guy had to agree with me - no mention of this obligation anywhere in the T&C's.

He actually advised me no action would be necessary on my part - my contract will end and my service disconnected (as it should) on 25th Jan. I will cancel my DD and destroy the sim on that date. £20 says I'll get another bill in feb.

 

I'm afraid this advice is incorrect and so firstly please accept my apologies for this. Secondly, could you email me by following the contact information which locutus posted above so I can get this addressed internally?

 

Once you've sent it you'll be sent an automated reply with a reference number. To enable me to ensure that it reaches us could you update the thread with the reference number and I'll come back to you as soon as I can?

 

For clarification, destroying the SIM and cancelling your Direct Debit won't actually cancel your account and so further bills would be issued. As such, it is important that the cancellation is handled correctly to prevent complications further along the line.

 

While I'm here, could I ask you why you're looking to leave us? If you'd like to include these details in your email I'll happily take a closer look at any other concerns you may have?

 

Kind regards,

 

Lee
