    • You probably do need to ignore it, but show it to us just in case. Cover up your name, address and anything that could ID you like your car reg. HB
    • Hi all! I've now had a "final notification letter" through from ECP. I assume I should continue to ignore this, but is there likely any action I need to take? Do you need to see a copy of the letter? Thanks

    • Afternoon All - after 3 weeks of silence, this morning I received an email from HMCTS advising that P2G have rejected my claim. Decide whether to proceed Parcel2Go.com has rejected your claim. You need to decide whether to proceed with the claim. You need to respond before 4pm on 25 June 2024. Your claim won’t continue if you don’t respond by then. This is their ‘defence’ Their defence Why they disagree with the claim When choosing a service on the Defendants website, the Claimant chose to book their order with Evri and selected to take out £20 parcel protection which comes with the service. On the first page of the booking process, the Claimant entered the value of £265 for the contents and was offered parcel protection for loss or damages against their goods for £13.99 + VAT. The Claimant selected no, which then produced a pop up which explained 'We strongly recommend that you protect the full value of your item(s).' however, the Claimant still did not take this protection out and instead continued with the booking process. At the end of the booking process, the Claimant was offered this again which was refused and the Claimant continued with the booking by accepting the terms and conditions which re-iterates the information provided in the booking process. The parcel was sent, however, seems to be delayed in transit. The parcel finally started to track again, however, when delivered the parcel was empty with no contents. As such, the claim was re-opened and attempted to be settled for the £20 protection taken out in the booking process. This was refused by the Claimant as they felt they should be paid the full amount of the value entered when booking. Unfortunately, due to the refusal of the parcel protection in the booking process the Defendant is not liable to settle the claim to the value and only to the parcel protection taken out. The Defendant shall rely on the Terms and Conditions of carriage in particular section 9. The Defendant understands that the contents have not be handled with due care and attention, which is not being disputed, however, they are disputing the amount they are liable to. They have requested mediation, I’m sure not least to drag the case out even longer, but I can see no benefit to me in this and so shall reject it. As ever, I’d welcome your thoughts guys. g59   
    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • 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.

CCA when loan paid off by overdraft?

Hi,

I'm booked in to see a solicitor but I'd welcome any of your thoughts as it will help me prepare good questions.

 

In 2001 the bank paid off one of two defaulted loans by using an overdraft account. This was done on the same day all the accounts were closed and shipped off to a debt collector.

 

Therefore the single balance they pursue is made up of the second loan and an overdaft (an overdraft inflated by paying off the first loan). I hope that makes sense.

 

I would like to see a copy of the agreement for the loan which they paid off using my overdraft just before the accounts were closed. Is the 'overdraft' part of the balance covered by a CCA request?

 

I do understand that overdrafts have some exemption but this overdraft was used to pay off a loan - the banks decision.

 

It would be a good loophole I guess if banks could pay off loans by using overdrafts then pursue you for the overdraft which enjoy slightly less legal standing than the loan?

 

I've made several requests for copies of all agreements over the years and they've admitted to not having any.

 

Cheers

You cannot CCA your overdraft.. But you must send a SAR. you must also request a copy of your overdraft agreement.

 

Inorder to take a payment from your current account to pay off the loan without your consent, there must exist an agreement that allows them to do this. As they have admitted that they cannot provide an agreement which entitled them to do this, challenge any claim.

Get the statements. This will show how the overdraft was created. Without an agreement showing you owed the loan, demand that the account be credited. Remember, all correspondence can be submitted with your defence, if/when they instigate legal proceedings.

Hi Debbbsy, thanks for taking the time to reply.

So it's your understanding that I can request a copy of the overdraft agreement?

 

I do have closing statments of account. That's what they have always sent me when I've requested copy agreements in the past. The statements show the last few weeks of transactions between current and loan accounts, including the transfer - or offset as I understand it - the bank made to pay off the loan account.

They have no copies of anything else, and have pursued me for an amount based on the closing statements only. They don't even know how much they claim I original borrowed in the first place because there's no records.

I've just resent a SAR and CCA request - sent the last one last year and no copies of agreements. They are trying to put together a reconstituted version this time and have delayed the request. I don't know how they will do this if the original amount of loans is not known.

Anyway, thanks for your help, it's preparing me!

I am too having same with Barclays so can either advise what letter I send to Wescot is it the CCA request or a SAR? and what template do i use for that request please? any help appreciated

Send Wesclots this; http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?428-General-debt-letter-if-you-know-nothing-of-the-debt and make them prove a debt exists and they have the right to collect.

 

Send the bank a SAR to see what unfair charges PPI etc you can reclaim, also it should throw up some interesting facts as to whether the O/D is now fully covered by CCA 1974 because they've paid the cc with an overdraft and thus created a loan. ;)http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?417-A-Subject-Access-Request-for

The overdraft would generally be enforceable, the credit cards would not.

This looks like a cynical attempt to make unenforceable credit cards enforceable

 

They will claim the haev a right to offset. This does not include increasing an overdraft.

Sorry, I'm confused here. I don't understand why credit cards are being mentioned?

I started the thread with a question relating to a loan paid off by an overdraft when the accounts were closed and sent to the debt collector. The banks decision and not mine. I had no idea until ten years later that they even did that the day the account was closed - I always assumed the amount was for the loan, not an overdraft.

They don't have to send an agreement for an overdraft but they do have to provide proof not only of the debt but also that they have the right to collect it.

 

Have you sent the bank a SAR so that you can get to the bottom of this? Because technically they have converted the overdraft into a personal loan as well by paying the original loan off.

I sent off the SAR request and have yesterday recieved statements from Barclays. I have taken account of a payment made to RAC (of which I had cancelled before I moved so I have been on phone to them this morning to challange why anyone would want or pay for duplicate covers) They claim they may not be able to refund as its past the 14th day of cancellation but I won't be leaving it there as this too has incurred charges at the bank. I also have two payments for my Barclaycard which they have taken after I said I couldn't afford to pay and then numerous 'RESERVE FEES'???? which the reserve fee's total over 100 pounds.

I am not unsure as to what to do with this information in regards to contacting wescott again?

I received a letter today from wescott saying that as it is a bank account (overdraftlink3.gif) they don't have to issue me with anything

 

This is quite simply a lie. The most probable reason for this response is that they have requested documents from the OC, who have admitted they don't have anything. With nothing to prove you owe the money, they make it up as they go along.

 

They must provide a copy of your current account application (to prove you opened the account), information about your overdraft,and the agreed credit limit.

You must CCA the OC for a copy of the Loan. It must contain a clause that legally allows them to pay it from monies in you current account. Even if the clause exists, before terminating the account, they would have to issue the correct paperwork, & follow lawful procedures,any deviation from this allows you to challenge them. Request officially all the documents they should have issued.

Thanks Debs.

The information sent from the Bank is issued from 2008. I opened the account in 2006 so no statments before 2008 have been sent to me and nor has my application to open the account nor any aggrement ir overdraft etc? Shall I write back to Wescott and say that until you provide me with a copy of my account application from the bank I am not paying?
