    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hey everyone, i am dealing with a DCA that has refused to explain/give a break down of why the debt has increased by £1000.....on behalf of my employers....

 

I know i can SAR them for a break down of their interest and charges added and then fight with them if it is not given within the 40days,

 

but i dont really want to spend £10 when the chances are they will tell me £1000 interest added, and i'm out £10!!

 

Is there something else i can do something along the lines of the CCA request?

 

Cheers

sorry, i have read that back and it doesnt make much sense.

 

the company i work for have a hire agreement with rbs for some furniture or something to that effect. they changed bank accounts and the bank missed a payment and as such rbs have passed the debt onto daniels silverman (after missing one payment, i think that is really bad). so the debt had now increased by £1000 and when my boss asked them why he was told they dont know and dont have to provide him with that info.

 

I am writing to them on behalf of my boss, to request this info, but i dont want to SAR them as its £10 and i think if i write to them they'll more then likely reply fingers crossed. just wondering if there is something similar to cca/sar to request a breakdown of the debt, which i can try before i sar them.

 

apologies for the poor grammer etc, but im on a netbook and its really annoying me!

 

thanks

As far as I understand it a CCA request should include a Statement of Account, showing all payments in and out of the account over its lifetime, if not produced then they failed the CCA request.

IMO it's simple they either tell you where this extra amount came from and they get paid, OR they don't tell you, and don't get paid. Tell your boss to vote with his feet and bank elsewhere, they either put up or shut up.

Got ya!

Well on that case then, it really is a simple case of sending them a letter asking them how they have come to the figure they are purporting to say that you owe if they are either unable or unwilling to divulge the information, then it will be a case of looking through the agreement/contract with a very fine tooth comb to see if these charges are actually lawful and in the contract.

Hi i have heard about a piece of scottish law, and i just want to know if its true or where the origin of the rumour is from?

 

Apparently if you request a copy of a loan agreement and it is not produced within 28days the loan becomes null and void??

My boss was talking about it, he has a problem with a loan from 1997, unfortunately he has made contact so it's not statue barred.

 

I have never heard of it, but was curious if it was true or not

Depends when he made contact, if there was a period of 6 years ( 5 in Scotland ) when there was no acknowledgement, the debt would be Statute Barred, unless there was a CCJ against it.

I think the same is true if the creditor contacts you within 6 years - even if you don't reply the debt won't be statute barred.

Not true, the acknowledgement must be made by you, the acknowledgement must be in writing, or by making a payment and even then within the Limitation Period, in order to 're-start the clock'.

As far as I'm aware the loan isnt null and void. Creditors have 40 days to produce a loan agreement once you request it under the Information Act but only have to send a reconstituted copy. If they dont comply you can complain to the information commissioner.

Interesting. Is it fairly common for banks to unknowingly let a debt slip past the statute barred time limit?

Yes it does happen. Especially in Scotland as the prescription period is 5 years whereas in england debts are statute barred after 6 years. English dca s normally dint bother to check so debts slip through.

I have been told if the Agreement says "subject to Laws of England" then the SB is still 6 (not 5) years - even if the debtor has always lived in Scotland.

 

I'd like to be told this is wrong and it's 5 years no matter what. Anyone know absolutely for certain?
