    • I was advised to ignore the paploc by a solicitors who said it was a fishing excercise and to answer them would be removing a big weapon in defeating that of time and demanding information within certain limits. im no lawyer so dont know if that makes sense or does not.
    • We’ve all ignored and I know people who’ve been back for years longer and always ignored and nothing has ever come of it 
    • I received several letters from J&P which were just ignored, but now I've received the same paploc Eve appears to have. As it stands, I'm looking to complete & reply as per the oft-referenced thread #5. After reading a few comments about ignoring and nothing progressing from J&P side, I'm intrigued whether they were just general 'please contact us type letters' or letters of claim/paplocs?  I realise for some it's a personal decision or based on advice, but given advice on here is not to ignore paplocs, what was the reasoning to ignore? 
    • Afternoon All. I have today received a court order requiring me to send them more details before 16:00 on 8 July. A copy of the order is attached, but the relevant paras seem to be: 2 Send all of the documents that are relevant to your case to the court at the above address, also send them to the other side. Both parties must do this. These documents should be placed in date order and should be numbered in the bottom right hand corner. You should include the following documents if available: •       A copy of the contract/agreement •       Relevant correspondence, including text messages and emails  Photographs Before 4pm 08 July 2024 3 Send to the court and send to the other party your own witness statement and also witness statements from anyone who can give relevant evidence about your case. Both parties must do this. A witness statement must •       have the court case number at the top •       start with the witness’ name and address •       it must contain numbered paragraphs and should be typed and double spaced. If not typed, it must be written clearly in block capitals or printed. •       finish with the words “I believe the facts set out above to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth”, the date of the statement and the person’s signature. The original statement must be sent to the court and copies must be sent to the other side. Before 4pm 08 July 2024 I'm a little confused by para 7 in the order : Because this order has been made by a Legal Adviser without a hearing, you have the right to request that the decision of the Legal Adviser be reconsidered by a District Judge. Any request must be sent to the court to arrive by 4PM 12 June 2024. The request may be made in your online account, by email or on paper. The request must include an explanation of why the reconsideration is sought. Is this normal? Do I have to do anything with this by 12 June? As ever, many thanks    527MC352-claim-direction-order (anonymised).pdf

    • 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 laura

 

Tell them you are going to lodge a Complaint with the FOS and it will cost them £450 if the FOS look into the matter.

 

You could write a letter of complaint to:-

 

Stephen Hester, Chief Executive

The conclusion to this above is the old lady got around £3,000 back in PPI however the Bank of Scotland (Halifax) have continued pursuing her for the debt which she as not paid a penny on since her circumstances changed when her husband died near on 2 years ago. Today the FOS have emailed and said the vulnerable team will write to the old lady to arrange a payment with them, I told her I am very disappointed that they not writing the debt off, she is nearly 80, vulnerable, house bound, partially sighted and struggling financially her response was.

 

"Thank you for your email. I understand your disappointment concerning the outstanding loan. As will be explained in my full findings, In accordance with the Lending Code consumers experiencing financial difficulties should be treated fairly and sympathetically by a lender but this does not mean they have to agree to write off an outstanding debt.Halifax has acknowledged Mrs **** circumstances and the account is with the vulnerable customer team so that a repayment plan can be arranged"

 

This is not true the FOS who dealt with my husband`s debt to the Halifax got them to write it off I am annoyed about this as I had assumed the old lady would definitely get the same result

Hi Laura,

 

Really glad to see you are still sticking with this one and congratulations on getting the £3,000 back in PPI.

 

Did Halifax ever comply with the SAR and provide a copy of the credit agreement? They cannot enforce this debt without a valid credit agreement.

 

As far as the FOS goes, they are about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Most of the case handlers working there were taken on at the time the banks were making thousands of people redundant, so are ex banking staff and have been trained to think in the nest interests of the banks themselves. Have never been a big fan of the FOS, but they are completely useless and unfit for purpose since employing ex banking staff as adjudicators.

 

Assuming they have not produced a copy of the credit agreement, I would wait for Halifax to get in touch and then let them know the debt is unenforceable without the credit agreement and no payment plan will be agreed until they produce a valid copy of the original credit agreement.

 

If they have already produced a copy of the credit agreement and it is valid, then again wait for the vulnerable team to get in touch and offer them £1 a week. They cannot refuse a reasonable offer and this will make things as inconvenient as possible for them.

 

Best Wishes

DJ

Yes they came up with a credit agreement only in the old ladies name she was under impression it was a joint loans as her others were. I will only offer them a £1 if they get in touch agree think this FOS not doing all they can for the old lady seems that no one seems to want to genuinely help the vulnerable these days:x

Response again from FOS

[sVIEW][/sVIEW]

 

"It would be unfair for me to comment on the case you mention as each complaint is assessed on its individual merits. When I wrote to the Halifax I emphasised the fact Mrs **** was a widow on limited income with deteriorating health and did not understand why she was being pursued for an outstanding loan.

 

I am happy to take any additional information forward to Halifax for it to consider, additionally both Mrs **** and Halifax have referral rights, in that she does not have to agree with the outcome and can ask the matter to be referred to an ombudsman for a final decision".

Have now asked that the Ombudsman makes a final decision as so far been told that things are looking in favour of Bank of Scotland as I was told by Ombudsman service "She as had the money and an affordability assessment was carried out at the time" I have said the FOS gives recommendations for consideration to be given to writing off debts for vulnerable people. The elderly lady is partially sighted she is 79 she as lost her husband and lots of her income, she is confused. The GP as asked for a Socail Services assessment and then for it to be given to the Welfare Officer at the GP surgery. We are hoping for something in writing from the GP surgery what we can use for the Ombudsman to see as who ever as been dealing with it below the Ombudsman as not been very positive on the side of the elderly lady. I had thought this would have all beeen done and dusted by now, never knew it was going to drag out like this. Bank of Scotland have offered £150 to say sorry for having kept ringing the elderly lady when she had only just lost her husband despite, letters and calls telling them to refrain from doing so.
