    • 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.

Hi

 

OK so basically I have an ongoing dispute with TOWER CAPITAL LIMITED, I took a payday loan out with them some time ago & I defaulted on the payments.

 

I asked if I can pay £20 per month (£250 outstanding balance) and they said that if I increased the payments to £50 per month they would not take any further action (meaning no register a CCJ against me!)

 

So I set up a standing order thinking everything was OK with the payments, my first one came out 1st September ok and cleared, I then receive papers from the court about a CCJ being registered against me, I had filled in forms I had received from the Money Claim Online that they did, but they said I should fill these forms in and send back and then if I keep to my £50 they would not register a CCJ against me, and they have done.

 

I am really angry about this, and they just don’t seem to be helping me, I have evidence that they have said this and confirmed to me many times that they will not register a CCJ.

 

I feel tricked and deceived by them!

 

I have put in a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman and also have sent a letter to Northampton Court with emails from TOWER CAPITAL attached.

 

What else can I do to get this CCJ removed?

 

I am desperately trying to clear debt and get back on straight and this has really set me back a lot!

 

Thanks

Vicky

Yep - this is what they have said and I have sent this to the courts and the FO.

 

They have just emailed me saying they will accept £150 settlement figure, but this is not through the Courts, I think they are taking me for a ride & as a result I have a CCJ registered now!! :mad2::mad2::mad2:

 

Dear Miss Farrell,

We cannot cancel a claim, however should you not make payment as agreed we will then apply for a full county court judgement. You currently do not have a full CCJ, as mentioned below the claim registered against you had had already been done. BY increasing your offer to £50 per month, we agreed that we would not apply for a full County Court Judgement

If you can make a one off payment off £155.00 on your next pay day we will accept this as a full and final settlement, we will then get in touch with the courts and advise them that this matter has been resolved. This is a concession of £175.00

Kind Regards

Wish I was rich....... :(:(

What is the difference between a CCJ and a full CCJ??

 

If you have a letter from them confirming no action and you can prove you have kept to the agreement the court should have to remove the CCJ.

 

If you decide to take them up on the final settlement figure still change your account dont trust them not to take more money afterwards, the CCJ episode tells you they cant be trusted.

Yes I have a letter from them confirming they won't issue a CCJ.

 

I have paid them by standing order, so I have proof that I have paid them...

 

They are taking the :mad2::mad2: realy unfair!

 

Hopefully the court will remove the CCJ once they have seen the letter & evidence I have sent them :sad:

fingers crossed for you.

 

maybe there is another thread on this site that can help you with the court, can any one help with that???????

 

First of all just because they want to take you to court doesn't mean they will win. For example their default notices are usually invalid as rarely give the 14 days plus 2. They can't register any CCJ without the court awarding it to them. Even if the court did you would have 14 days to pay in full and the CCJ would not exist.

 

I would be tempted to follow the courts proceedures and defend yourself on the basis thay have deceived you. I have a thread on here somewhere where I beat them in court (legal forums) and know of at least one other CAGGER who got the same result.

 

They may have registered a default against you and you would need to check your credit report to see if they have. Then you can challenege this if need be.

 

Only you can decide if their settlement offer is fair to bring an end to this.

This awful company at its worst, hey Rob!

 

I took on and defended against these following help from fellow CAGGERS and had my case struck out.

 

My advise is defend if court papers are offered. you have emails showing you are being reasonable with your offers and you have proof that they are trying to deceive you. As per Robjam's advise, check your DN. I did noty mention mine in my defence but it was incorrect so that was another string to my bow.

 

Tower will not give in but if you defend and share your experiences on here, you will get sound advise and will be able to take them on if it gets that far.

 

DO NOT GIVE IN!
