    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

So, can anyone suggest my next course of action with this?

 

I have been reading another post relating to CCA request for Halifax and people have suggested disputing some terms on the reconstituted version that may not be on the original or vice versa. Can I use this to dispute my case?? If so, can someone suggest information, which I should have on the CCA for me to check against?

 

Many thanks for your help and support.

Any reconstructed agreement must be an exact copy of the original

 

if they had that

 

why send a reconstructed one

 

if it is not an exact copy, the creditor has not complied with your s.77 to s.79 request and the account is now in official dispute

 

carey judgement is a load of crap

 

so play by the rules dca,

 

just like we have to

I saw that the T&Cs are dated-but cant quite make out.

This is right at the bottom of the page on the r/h side.

Can you check all the pages and see if they have the same date in this area ?

Hi MARTIN3030,

 

The number at the bottom r/h side is not a date as such. It's actually this number:

 

F10/TC/0308

 

It appears on 2 pages only the main t&c's end page and the Credit Card Repayments Cover - Policy Summary page.

 

Does this mean anything??

 

Also, should I be sending an account in dispute letter in reply and if so, does anyone have a good idea of how to word my response?

 

Many thanks.

Yes the 0308 means March 2008

 

So are years out from the T & Cs that would have applied to your original agreement.

Hi Martin3030 and anybody else reading my thread,

 

Can you suggest how I deal with the reconstituted CCA I have received from Cabot? Should I try sending an account in dispute letter regarding T&C's date?? Or look for something else that maybe an issue with the reconstituted version?

 

I have 14 days (now about 4 days) to contact Cabot with my payment proposal according to their letter because they have in their eyes complied with my CCA request??

 

What should I do? Push for the orginal CCA or make a payment proposal?

 

I really appreciate any advice on this matter.

Bump.

 

Hi all,

 

Its been just over 5 years since I acknowledged this debt to Cabot,

however today I got a letter stating their numerous attempts to contact me has not worked,

so they will be taking further action to recover the debt if I do not contact them.

 

DAMN!

 

So, the only course of action I can think of is to CCA request them and SAR request them to 'keep the ball rolling' and see what information turns up?

 

Any comments on this would be appreciated.

 

Are they likely to take court action on a debt this old for around £4.5k?

 

Many thanks,

Hi all,

 

Once again cabot are on my case!

 

I received a letter about 3 weeks ago stating I had not returned correspondence to them regarding the debt

 

(its been 5 years 2 months since I made a foolish payment!)

and they would look at taking further action if I did not contact them, so I re-requested the CCA.

 

A day or two ago I have received a reconstituted credit agreement (again) and now need to decide a plan of action for handling this.

 

If anyone can advice the probability of pushing unenforceability on t & c's or something it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Or,

am I looking at an enforceable debt and is it likely to go to court with Cabot?

(which I want to avoid court action as its been a hard slog cleaning up my credit file!).

 

Many thanks all.

I see from post 1 this is not on your credit file so it's a case of keeping Cabot of your back for another 10 months till its sbd.

 

When Cabot replied to your CCA request did their reply include a true & accurate copy of your original agreement

including the correct address at the time of application, copies of (some) documents mentioned in the agreement,

t&cs as varied together with a signed statement (by Cabot) of the account.-

all supplied in one reply, not in dribs and drabs?-

 

if they did you need to examine the t&cs , wrong penalty charges at the time you started your agreement,

phone numbers that could not have been in use in those days, interest rates that did not apply at the time of your agreement etc etc.

 

You have to question why Cabot sent you a recon rather than a copy of the original

Hi guys,

 

Thanks for your input on this.

 

Indeed, my credit file has no adverse history on it anymore and all my current financial liabilities are up to date.

 

Regarding the letter I received back from Cabot it states the enclosed docs are copies of their response to my cca request back in 2010, however these documents contain the following:

 

- Paragraph - 'This is a copy of your agreement'

- Paragraph - Halifax credit card conditions of use

- A previous address, however not the original address where I lived when the application was done.

- One set of Interest rates on balance transfers, cheques, cash advances and purchases etc.

- no other interest rate information.

- No signature

- no credit limit

- no statements (or only the cabot printed statemet on the silly payment I made to cabot underpressure in 2008)

 

The cover letter goes on to say:

 

'We confirm we have already sent a recon true copy of your cca in 2010 and for the avoidance of doubt complies with the consumer credit (cancellation notices and copies of documents) regulations 1983 and therefore complies with the obligations set out n section [77 -78] of the consumer credit act 1974.

 

I have shortened some of the above sentence words.

 

Also, interestingly they do not ask for payment or get back in contact in XX amount of days, which I find weird? Just the standard ' if you have any further queries, do not hesitate to contact me'

 

 

Any ideas of help on how to handle this will be really appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

well pers if cabot have not requested a reply, in order to buy further time,

I would wait for their next letter which requests a reply before responding.

 

Then head your letter that you do not acknowledge any debt to them,

and simply say you have reviewed the documents that they supplied in response to your s78 request

and you can assure them that the recon agreement that they sent you is NOT A TRUE copy,

 

and therefore does not comply with your cca request (do not tell them why leave them to work that out-.

 

The reason it is non compliant is that it does not contain your address at the time of application,

 

so cant be a true copy as per the carey judgement)-there may well therefore be many other differences as well

I have had a barrage of letters ask for payment etc,

 

advising the possibility of warrant of executionlink3.gif etc.

 

Then a solicitors letter asking for payment

 

followed by a debt tracing agency letter asking if I lived at my address and to reply if I was not the named person.

 

That paragraph is a huge no no for a DCA to say..

full of I want my money now,

 

use their rules against them stating you need to investigate their claims and may take up to 56 days for each and every letter they send to you,

 

if they persist in harassing you will report them,

 

use their timescale and then drag it out even further,

 

since it is close to being statute barred

but up to you,

 

then towards the end throw in the dispute letter

 

then any others you have to,

 

as you have said you need 56 days to check it out don't let them bully you anymore ok

 

Thx MM

Hi All,

 

Been some time since I posted here.

 

Cabot have been sending the basic 'you owe' letters every 3 to 4 months, however today I've received a notice of arrears 'statement' with reference information about financial conduct authority.

 

I have not paid anything to them or acknowledged the debt since being tricked into paying back in August 2008.

 

My question is I have 2weeks until statute barred, so in anyone's experience with Cabot should I be extra worried or expect any sudden court action to be taken or is this just another way of trying to make me contact them?

 

I'm hoping to send a final do not acknowledge letter in 2 weeks and stating it is also past the statue barred limit.

 

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks DX for the fast reply.

 

Would it still be worth sending some sort of letter to them after SB date stating statute barred, so they confirm it back to me?

 

I'm visiting my parents during the SB date, so thinking to prepare a letter and send recorded delivery while I'm away.

 

Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated.

 

All the best

you could but it might open up letter tennis

 

the only time you really should send the SB letter

is in relation to confirmed threat of court action

 

not an if/maybe letter

Thanks again for coming back to me on this.

 

I understand what your saying. Best not poke the ashes to end up restarting the fire.

 

I know I'm nowhere near some of the peoples situations on here, although I'm still nervous as the SB approaches wondering if Cabot will do something devious.

 

With CAG support I've gone through some really tough times - ccj's, pressure and stress from multiple DCA's (almost giving into going bankrupt) and managed to come out the other-side clear credit file, able to get credit again and now even considering moving house next year!

 

Anyway, long story short this site has helped me more than i can say.

 

Keep up the good work and I keep my fingers crossed for the future with Cabot.

Morning all,

 

Been thinking about this and would I get a threat of court action before any proceedings ?

 

Basically what is the likelihood of going straight from maybe/if letters to court papers without notice?

 

The waiting game is so agonising !

I Cabot were going to act I think it would have done so some time ago.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.
