    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

Ok,

 

had a few good replies from this site in the past so here goes.

 

in short, am in debt to the tune of 23k. I have been making payments without issues on everything upto sept 2010. I make the mistake of borrowing from payday load company (swift sterling) to help cover with car repairs, in oct i got hit with massive bills from swift and made the mistake of using another payday loan company to bail out of the problem.

 

ok now (stupid i hear you say, and yes i know) anyway i did it and have to live with it. now i originally approached my bank santander and asked them to help me raise the money by way of extending my loan, they said no, and no to extend od, and to to everything else i had asked for help with. now given i had never missed any payments i was quite annoyed.

 

I raised a complaint with the bank which is still todate being looked at (they keep writing to me saying it will take another 4 weeks to provide an answer)

 

now at this point i started to miss repayments of the full ammounts, i kept up with goodwill payments and i wrote to all my creditors with a full expenditure sheet and explaining the problem caused by using payday loan companies.

 

now since sept i have been continuing like this making token payments to all creditors and continually writing to them keeping them in the loop.

 

i have received every type of default notice you can think of and have reached the point where the majority of creditors have accepted my terms of reduced payments whilst i pay off the payday loan companies. I fully intend to clear down the debts.

 

now whilst receiving the default notices, some of the creditors played ball and accepted, santander have totally ignored me and vanquis moved straight to 1st choice debt collection.

 

for the 1st choice collections i rang them up and said you can have 40% of the debt in full and final or we can go to court up to you as i dont care. they accepted the 40%. (doing well so far)

 

now santander, totally different ball game and the major problem at the moment. I have credit cards (x2) total debt 5.5k combined, santander loan (6k) o/d with santander 2.6k. now santander wrote me a nice letter to tell me that they were going to take money from my current account to service the other accounts.

 

at this point i moved bank accounts to nationwide (basic account) and setup a standing order to repay to each santander account the sum of £10 goodwill whilst we negotiated reduced rates on all account repayments held with them.

 

they have totally ignored all my letters. I have made monthly payments to them and sent them recorded delivery letters fully explaining what was going on and that other creditors had accepted etc. i also included full expenditure each time.

 

i have today received a multitude of letters all on the same day, ranging from default notices to notices saying a representitive will be calling on sunday to see me, through to just plain no we dont accept notices.

 

ok with me so far, everyone i deal with has accepted except santander, i am not sure what else i can do, i keep writing and making the offers to repay both the full debt using reduced repayments.

 

had they of helped me in the first place this would not have happened. so i am stuck on what to do next. Visit a branch and get very loud? write again? wait for the so called visit (should be fun as I'm a big lad and like a challenge).

 

what do you guys suggest i thought i was dong everything correctly, i acknowledged the debts, kept them in touch, included expenditure statements, negotiated payments down to manageable amounts.

 

I'm just stuck with santander??

 

anyone got any advice on what i should do? do they actually call at your house (santader i mean?)

 

i should point out i own nothing and live in rented accommodation, car on finance.

 

look forward to hearing from you.

 

Pete :|

Presumably you are paying all your other creditors prorata. Do the same with Santander whether or not they like it. If ever they did take you to court, a judge would take a very dim view of them not co-operating when all the others have and you've done all you can. Pay pro rata and forget about it.

Hi Pab

 

I rarely disagree with Tingy but I would offer them pro-rata rather than pay pro-rata.

 

Raise a formal complaint with them quoting OFT v MBNA recent decision about accpeting reasonable offers; exhaust their complaints procedure then make a formal complaint to fos: this b*ggers them for many months.

 

Don't worry about door steppers; once you've seen one, they ain't scary.

Hiya Vic,

 

You're back on my Zap list now again!:lol::lol::lol:

 

The reason I suggested paying rather than offering to pay is that if the OC does take it to court you can demonstrate you have been fair and equitable to all your creditors, rather than cutting out one because they're being a pain. What do you think?

 

By the way - I would never really zap you!

Hi Tingy, I was wondering why you were sciving

 

The OP doesn't make it clear who has frozen charges & interest and implies that he is paying more than a token amount.

 

Many formal DMPs fail because one or two rogues keep applying charges and interest, which is unfair on other creditors; pro-rata involves equity of treatment as well as equity of payment.

 

I refuse to pay anyone who won't communicate and won't conform to OFT v MBNA re affordable payments; this is a legitimate basis for a fos complaint which I have found useful.

 

I've just posted on another thread:

 

18. All warfare is based on deception.

 

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;

when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we

are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;

when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

 

20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,

and crush him.

 

21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.

If he is in superior strength, evade him.

 

22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to

irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

 

23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.

If his forces are united, separate them.

 

24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where

you are not expected.

 

25. These military devices, leading to victory,

must not be divulged beforehand.

I posted a reply to Vic earlier, but its vanished. Maybe I wrote it but didn't submit it, I guess cos I've disagreed with Vic and have just read her views on war - I daren't move now!

 

What I put, seriously OP, is could you post the info that Vic points out - have they all frozen interest and charges, some, none? She is right that this needs to be taken into consideration (much as I hate to admit it!):-D

You can tell the lot you need to pay £1 a month as a token for the next 3 months otherwise it sounds as if bankruptcy might be the best option.

 

Pro-rataing sounds good but when they DO NOT reduce your interest and slap on default sums then £1 is all they should get - or zilch if you prefer and see the offers for reductions come flooding in.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
