    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) 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. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 All

 

Last year I sent a CCA request to Moorcroft Group who were dealing with my Egg Card Account on which I was making a monthly £1 token payment.

 

They returned my £1 fee and said that I had to get the copy CCA direct from Egg. After advice on the forum, I sent the dispute letter and heard no more.

 

Two weeks a go, I had a letter from ARC chasing payment in full. I wrote back saying the account was in dispute. They replied that neither they or Egg know anything about my CCA request and I should take the matter up with Moorcroft which I'm sure is not right?

 

The very next day, I recieved a letter from Trevor Munn Solicitors saying they will comence County Court proceedings in 10 days if I dont repay the account.

 

My question is, where do I stand with this and what should I do next?

 

I would really appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

Threats - have you got copies of the lettters you sent to Moorcrap?There is a template in the library to send to people chasing accounts in dispute, send them something along these line and enclose copies of the correspondence you have previously sent. Threaten to report them to OFT and the SRA. In fact report then to OFT and SRA (as they claim to be solicitors) anyway.

 

Let me know if you need any links

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Send them a copy of the letter you received from Moorcroft. This is proof that you made a legitimate CCA request and they they have failed to fulfil their obligations. Send also a copy of the ‘account in dispute’ letter. The fact that Moorcroft failed to act correctly is not your problem. As Egg’s representative, they were obliged to pass on the valid request.

 

Also, in your response to Trevor Munn Solicitors, state clearly that as you have raised an issue of dispute on the account, it is up to them to investigate it, according to OFT guidelines, and to cease any collection activity while they investigate your complaint.

 

Copy your whole response to the OFT with a complaint about Moorcroft’s and ARC/Trevor Munn’s activities.

 

Trevor Munn know full well that their response is disingenuous, to say the least. They know the true legal position.

 

Send all recorded.

Dear Sirs,

 

I write in response to your letter dated XXXXX

 

Your letter is incorrect and frivolous, you are fully aware of legally valid reasons why no payment has been made on this account, namely that the agreement which underpins this account has not been supplied despite a perfectly valid request and furthermore, it is suggested that notwithstanding the failure to supply a copy, the agreement itself is improperly executed, devoid of all prescribed terms and deficient in respect of detail relating to APR, total charge for credit and statements of rights ,remedies and protections as required by schedules 1,2 and 6 Consumer Credit Agreements Regulations 1983

 

Therefore the agreement as outlined in section 65 (1) Consumer Credit Act must be laid before the court to be granted an enforcement order before any further action can be taken

 

It is my view that the court would not grant such an order due to the deficiencies that I have outlined within the agreement, further more this has already been raised with (names of previous DCAlink3.gif's / Bank here) yet I note they have still assigned the account over to yourselves and the absence of any documents disproving my points itself speaks volumes

 

Therefore, I would indeed welcome the opportunity to place this before the court. furthermore should you proceed with the threats to issue a statutory demand or a court claim I will make an immediate application to have it set aside for the grounds outlined above, also I shall refer the judge to this letter when the matter of costs falls due

 

I trust this outlines my position clearly enough for you

 

Yours faithfully...

[ATTACH=CONFIG]24866[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]24865[/ATTACH]Hi everyone

Thanks for all your replies. I sent the letter suggested by 42man and have received the following letter from ARC.

 

Please note that ARC are a debt collection "agent" acting in good faith on the instructions recieved from a "disclossed" principle namely Egg Banking. We are therefore authorised to write to you in connection with the above matter and to instruct solicitors on contemplation of court proceedings where we consider it appropriate to do so. Please note that there has been no assingnement of the debt from Egg to ARC Ltd.

 

The letter goes on to say that Egg have no record of my request for a copy of my CCA and that I should write to Egg for a copy as Moorcroft Group suggested when I asked them for it and they returned my payment.

 

What are your thoughts and what should I do next?

 

Many Thanks

They can instrut solicitors on behalf of Egg, but ARC themselves cannot take legal action. At the moment, only Egg can, unless there is an equitable assignment to ARC in which case Egg would need to join the action anyway.

 

Seeing the letter would really help.

1. They have repeated the same lie that Moorcroft did. They are obliged to deal with your CCA request. You do not have to approach Egg yourself. A valid request was made and the account is now in dispute (providing you have sent the ‘in dispute’ letter).

 

2. They want your I&E? Tell ’em to take a hike. Only a court can demand that.

 

3. As they have not seen the supposed agreement, how can they claim it is enforceable? They cannot. Idiots.

 

4. They demand an offer of payment within 14 days. Er, what about the CCA request? They MUST suspend collection activity on an account that is in dispute.

 

5. ARC are not showing their consumer credit licence number. Naughty chaps. But they have one, so they must comply with OFT debt collection guidelines.

 

6 Complain about this to the OFT and Trading Standards, as well as the information commissioner.

Hi

 

I sent original CCA request to Moorcroft last year. They returned my cheque and said I had to write to Egg. After taking advice on here, I did not contact Egg and sent Moorcroft the dispute letter.

 

I heard no more untill ARC came along. I have sent them a copy of Moorcrofts letter but they still say I need to contact Egg and that they will continue with proceedings. What should i do next?

 

Thanks

Ha ha ha ha ha! I think they have failed their own test.

 

From their website:

 

COMPLIANCE

 

A Debt Collection Agency: A business that pursues payment of debts owed by individuals or businesses. Collection agencies operate as agents of Creditors securing payment of the debt thereby increasing the Creditor's "Net Collections"

 

Your Reputation: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that you will do things differently." Warren Buffett.

 

Today's credit management and debt collection industry is heavily regulated by several authorities including The Office of Fair Trading, The Information Commissioners Office, The Financial Ombudsman Service, OFCOM, the Credit Services Association to name but a few. There is also wide ranging legislation to prevent unlawful collection activities, particularly when dealing with consumers. If the Collection Agency fails to comply with the regulations or breaches applicable legislation, the "client" could be held directly accountable for those breaches and face both Civil and Criminal penalties.

 

Therefore, when you engage the services of a Collection Agency, you should not only satisfy yourself that the Agency will effectively increase you net collections but you should also ensure that it is compliant and will be able to protect your good reputation. ARC has the experience, technology and established processes to make effective recoveries and to protect your hard earned reputation.

I think this to send to Egg:

 

Creditor responsibility for third parties

1.9 If consumer credit licence holders choose to do business or continue to do

business with third parties engaged in questionable fitness behaviour, then their

own fitness will be called into question. Our aim is to ensure that creditors do not

ignore the unfair practices of debt collectors, whether in-house or external, acting

on their behalf. It is not for the OFT to specify in this guidance how choices about

third party selection are made nor to advise on desired conduct between third

parties. However, during any investigation in this respect, we would expect to see

that care had been taken in the selection process, complaints had been

investigated and that firm action had been taken as appropriate. It would be

unlikely that we would take action against a creditor who could demonstrate such

action had been taken.

Physical/psychological harassment

2.5 Putting pressure on debtors or third parties is considered to be oppressive.

2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

h. ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are

disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment

 

Deceptive and/or unfair methods

2.7 Dealings with debtors are not to be deceitful and/or unfair.

2.8 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

i. failing to investigate and/or provide details as appropriate, when a debt is

queried or disputed, possibly resulting in debtors being wrongly pursued

k. not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or

disputed debt.

Section 175 of the CCA:

 

175. Where under this Act a person is deemed to receive a notice or payment as agent

of the creditor or owner under a regulated agreement, he shall be deemed to be under a

contractual duty to the creditor or owner to transmit the notice, or remit the payment,

to him forthwith.
