    • why do you need adobe...use a pdf online website. all for now...no get reading up and do not miss your defence filing date no matter what. post it up in good time no!!    
    • Thanks all, especially the information about Kev! Yes, I'll make the mods you all suggest, especially the client bits (didn't realise it was a one man band). The only thing I'm not sure of, is the best way to "sign off", especially as the Keeper is not so keen to sign. So I'd much rather send it from our pet dog. BTW does anyone know about the landowners at Harlyn Bay? I did try to find out last year but couldn't find anything useful, and whether it is worth raising this massive cash generator scam with them. I'm guessing the landowners get a small percentage, so happy to go along with it?

    • whitelist - the same with mine....the battery had a mind of its own. i bought it for my Son...he'd shut it down and it would be completely off but the power light would either stay on or flash...also it wouldnt start properly, had cmos errors on boot and other stuff. i bought it through HP store on ebay ..brand new. after 6 days of receipt i received an email from HP asking if i was happy... i returned an email saying no and that i want to send it back as it was faulty (the email served as a reminder for me to leave them good feedback lol...not as a genuine enquiry to actually make sure i was happy with as they didnt resolve the issue when i was not) after trying to sort it for a couple of months with HP not replying, not offering a solution etc i finally got passed tech support who confirmed it was faulty. i then had to return it to their factory. this is where its gets beyond worse...waited 3 times for parcelforce to collect - they didnt. in the end HP sent me a label which i had to take to the post office - not good as im disabled with a mobility disability. then they asked for my bank account number to issue the refund. they hardly ever replied to my emails and it took over a month and a half to refund me once they had received the laptop back. no explanation, no progress emails, no updates. i kept emailing them on a daily basis as no one would reply to my emails through the website, forum, internal email addresses and even phoned 3 different departments who basically had no idea what to do or what was going on and did not help...they couldnt even tell me when the refund would be issued, let alone why it hadnt been done already. on the forums theres other customers who've had to wait 6 weeks , 2 months , over 2 months etc...it seems as though HP like to with hold peoples money to earn interest on the money in their account. i spent days phoning and emailing them - even sent a recorded letter. at the beginning i phoned citizens advice and they said i am entitled to put back into the same financial position as before i lost the out of pocket expenses ie: compensation for my time and recorded letter sent etc. ive started a martin lewis 'resolver' case with them and in a snotty reply they told me im not entitled to compensation which is contradictory to what citizens advice told me. i was just wondering if theres any .gov website or law/legislation that i could reply with and say "no your wrong - please compensate me"

    • 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.

You have left the name of the person the letter is addressed to - and you can almost make out the account details etc.

 

If you can not edit it - ask a memebr of the site team to remove it from your post.

 

The letter is standard threatogram rubbish. They say the debt has been sold to HFO Capital - have they sent you ANY other letters or information?

Hi broken arrow. No CCJ. It was passed to their solictiors Turnbull Rutherford back in Sept 2008. They threatend a charging order then. The debt has now gone from £4379 to £7626.

 

You need to investigate how/why there's been such a leap in the amount alleged to be outstanding on this. I very much doubt they'd take you to court because you've been making regular payments so going to court won't acheve anything.... Under the circumstances, I would send a fresh CCA request, so we can see what exactly they have got as of now.... and also the Statement of Account they're obliged to return with it.

Agreed.... delete the contents of the post if it's easier :-)

Oh Im sorry but I really cant remember. I have the copy of the CCA sent from Morgan Stanley here. I had thought I had done all I can but I have had many other battles to fight and its now been 4 years as I stated the ball rollidng back in 2007.

I also do not have an original NOA just a reminder

 

That is fine - don't worry. Did you sent a CCA to HFO and what was their response?

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Looking back over the paperwork I sent a SAR and CCA in Feb 2007. I have attached what I received from them. Many letters passed between myself and a Karla Kenny. Customer Liason Team Manager. I seem to remember her name was mentioned on the forum quiet a lot. What I got back from them was no more than the application form so I sent off this letter

Thank you for your reply to my request under Section 78 of the CCA 1974.

 

Under the Consumer Credit Act, you will be aware that a credit agreement is unenforceable unless both the debtor and the creditor sign it.

 

The copy of the document you have sent me is the application form, which shows my signature alone. Therefore this is not acceptable as a Credit Agreement.

 

Currently, you are in default of my request dated 7th February 2007 under sections 77(1) and 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Unless you can provide a credit agreement signed by the debtor and creditor then this account remains in dispute and unenforceable until the dispute is rectified.

 

Please be aware that as of the 21st March 2007, if you have not fulfilled my request you will have committed a criminal offence under the CCA 1974.

 

I look forward to receiving the above.

 

Yours Faithfully

 

She sent one back stating that The CC Regulations 1983 stated that an agreement suppiled should be a true copy Regulation 3(2) states that a copy may omit certain information such as the signature box and signatures and date.

 

It was then passed to Credit Solutions, then HFO and thats when the harrassment started. I dont know why I arranged a payment plan but I do not have hardly any paperwork from HFO certainly no NOA. It was then passed to Turnbull Rutherford. The orginal debt as of 18th April 2007 was £ 4332.41. When Turnbull wrote to me in Sept 2007 it was £6909.72 and as of today it stands at £7630.28. Thats £3297.87 in interest in guessing..

 

Im grateful for any advise. Should I CCA HFO and see what they have for starters.

Thank you.:-) Im trying not to worry but thats prob why I am writing this post at 02.50am.

I can still read all the details under the marker!

 

They can't take you to court and win on the strength of just that. This fails to be an enforcable agreement, no credit limit, no APR, no T&C's. They should not be able to gain judgement against you.

That is an application form and I don't think it can be seen as anything else. It is not a credit agreement. There are no Terms and Conditions so how can HFO charge interest and hold you to T&Cs you never agreed to? Recent court cases are seriously challenging attempts by DCs to bring cases with this type of documentation and it certainly does not meet a CCA request.

 

I would suggest you send a CCA request to HFO urgently and get this account in dispute. That should keep them quiet.

 

Are you still paying them? I would be careful of the means you use to pay them if this involved them having your bank or card details and I would stop this until you get the full information. If you must pay, use Standing Order or direct payment by internet only.

 

CCA Request

CCA letter to send with a £1 postal order by recorded delivery, do not sign. They have 12 plus 2 working days to reply. If nothing valid is received you can send a letter to put the account in dispute and this should stop them contacting you.

Or you could send a letter along the lines of

 

Address

 

Date

 

Dear sir/madam

 

On the Date of /2/07 a request under the Consumer Credit Act section 78 was sent to Morgan Stanley .

In response they sent and confirmed a true copy of the original agreement executed by themselveselves on the XXXXX.

 

As you must realise this agreement does not conform to sections 60(1) and 61(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and would therefore only be enforceable by a court under s65. However, the absence of any prescribed terms, APR or credit limit means that a court would be prevented from enforcing it under s127(3).

 

I am granting to you a further 21 days to produce a copy of an executable agreement. After that I will consider that the above account is closed and that you will no longer pursue the alleged debt.

 

After this period you should close the file and cease processing personal datalink3.gif relating to me on this matter.

 

Yours faithfully

Hi Formister.

Thank you for your reply. I didnt realise you could still see details. The scanned copy I put up did not show all the details on the application form. When I scanned it has cut off what Im thinking could be terms and conditions. It has info on

Financial Related Condidtions, Credit Limit, Credit Charges, Payments and Interest Charging and a box stating The CCA 1974 covers this agreement and lays down certain requirements etc, etc.

IM sorry but I hadnt realised it had cut them off. Should I scan them up for you to see.

Plus I will get the letter off first thing tomorrow. I pay the £20 per month by standing order.

Thank you for your help. I just feel a little silly for not realising I had left details visible and possible T&C off.

Regards

Tracyd

 

Just seen reply from Coledog....so the CCA route to HFO would be the best thing to start with??
