I will today/tomorrow issue a CCA request with a £1 postal order to the claimant and a CPR 31:14 to the solicitor.  For the CCA which section should I use? I am not sure which section Paypal Credit would come under. If the claim was issued on the 9th May am I correct with my defence filing date of the 11th June? Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks in advance   Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre, Northampton Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio I Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self (just 1) Date of issue –  9th May 2024 Defence filing date: Tuesday 11th June??

    • In addition to the advice and questions asked by my site team colleague above, where did you get the template from which you used to reply to the letter of claim?
    • should have come here first really. What you requested was a load of irrelevant twaddle. What was the original debt? Have you moved since taking it out? If TM Legal are chasing, that should means that Perch own it now? Did you get the letter of claim by email or post? You should kill the emails immediately.

    • 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.

Hello

My name is Molly, I have 4 credit card companies who I stopped paying back in January and now they are sending letters of death and distruction. They have sent a form to fill in (Income and expenditure), shall I fill it in? I asked for a copy agreement and they sent a "reconstitued" agreement. Dont ever remember signing that! Any help and advise would be great! Molly...:|

Hi Molly

 

Welcome to CAG

The guys will advise as soon as they are available. Could you give a breakdown of the debts, also have you got any penalty charges or have you been mis-sold ppi on any of these accounts? Hold on to the I & E form. Also how old are the accounts?

 

Thread Moved.

Hello

Thanks for getting back to me, Cap One £13K, Virgin £12K, PayPal £5K and Tesco £5K.

Cap One has issued a Default, nothing else as yet. Dont remember PPI thats why I wanted a copy

of the agreement, but they sent a "reconstitued" one, not the original.

Thanks

Molly

as above, cards and their original creditors will help to decide how to proceed.

 

if you fill in the i&E make sure you list all priority debts ahead of anything else.

 

They are not entitled to see this info but if you are looking at arranging a payment plan it would not hurt your cause, but again it depends on who you are dealing with

Ok crossed in post.

 

Cap One - depends on when you took the card out but they aint the brightest when it came to agreements, if you require to know if you had ppi, look at your old statements it should list a payment to a insurance or some such thing.

 

Virgin - will ditch this as soon as possible onto a dca

 

Paypal - did not know they did credit cards

 

Tesco - again they will pass on to a dca as soon as possible

 

if you dont mind your credit rating getting trashed then probably this is the best to let them sell them on, then you can request the CCA again or if they have not sent anything put the account in dispute.

 

as for the reconstitued agreement that si the norm nowadays, however if they go to court and for £13K they probably will they then have to prodcue the original

 

can I ask why you have stopped paying, ie change of circumstances etc

Yep, my son became ill, lost my job, decided to work from home then lost a contract. Just

one back piece of luck after another and now I just cant do it any more.

Some of my credit cards are 14 years old and I never missed a payment, I miss one or two

and its "all hell". In the T&C they sent me it actually states, if you die or default, in their eyes

there is no difference.

Sorry to hear that, so best bet is to do yourself an I&E and work out what you have left at the end of every month etc, then if you like send a short letter to each creditor stating that due to changed circumstances you wish to make a token payment of £x a month on the understanding that all interest and late charges are stopped.

 

if they dont agree then we take it from there.

 

However you have said that you have sent CCA request already so if the time scale of 12+2 days have passed then you are quite within your rights to send the account in dispute letter ans stop all payments. but quite frankly with the sums involved there is a good chance they will go the court route so making token payments puts you in a good light with the judge

Hi, thanks for that, I have no money left, at the end of each month, I know I cant pay even token payments so I have

decided to let them do their worse. Otherwise I will never pay them off. How long does it take if they do take me to court?

Maybe I should just become bankrupt, let them make me and then its all over.

Hello

I have requested it but not sent off the £1 fee, so I am going to send a 3rd request off tomorrow with that on the

Virgin. Cap One said they would not charge me £1 as a good will gesture but as they sent me out this reconsituted copy

they are NOT willing to talk to me about it any further. Can I still demand it if I send them a £1 postal order?

Well, thanks for your help and advice today, I am off to bed

and hopefully might have a good nights sleep, I dont feel all

on my own.

Why didn't those credit card companies ask for a I&E to be filled in

before they gave me a £12,000 credit limit. I would never have

passed. My own fault too, but as bank do, we all make mistakes

and times/circumstances change. Night folks!!

  • 2 weeks later...

Just keeping in touch....update

PayPal (Santander) the most trouble, get letters every day with "die or default". I have requested 3 times now for

a CCA nothing yet, sent off a £1 fee last week then will take the advise and write them a Dispute Letter.

Heard nothing from Cap One since a requested a CCA signed after they sent a reconstitued one. Egg, heard nothing at all,

and nothing at all from Virgin? just statements with Default sums on. I am doing everything advised, Changed my telephone

home number and mobile, Santander advised I MUST send them a valid telephone number, guess what?

Just keeping you updated. I have read about the Charging Order, the only thing that worries me!

Hi Molly, well done for changing your numbers, once they cannot threaten you via the phone you have effectively removed 75% of intimidatory options. You are already well on the way to taking charge - its a good feeling!

 

There are very good people on here who will help you from now on.

Thank you for your support!

I have started to eat food that is now healthy instead of all the out of date soon items in the

"discount" section.....I will never use credit again, wont get it anyway now. I have missed no more

than 3 payments to one card in over 20 years of paying on time. I tried to open a new bank account

today and was refused. You are only as good as your last payment folks!

Yep you have now officially become a non person, so all lines of normal monetary options are barred, as stated open a basic account, dont worry it does not last long because these banks and the like soon forget, and in any case if they barred every debtor where would they get their customers from LOL

Or I was recommended NatWest on this forum and I had no problems. No overdraft facility but all the usual basic benefits i.e. cheque book and debit card. Excellent online banking facillity. Open Sat. mornings and the local branch is who you deal with, not a call centre.

Hi, tried to open a Co-op bank account yesterday, just a basic one and got a flat NO.

Opened one of those Pre-Paid Card Accounts, anyone any experience?

So, now missed just 3 payments and I cant open a bank account, what's the point....

Hi there

Some Banks will allow a Basic Banking system -- no cheques, no overdrafts, just a Hole in the Wall card and Internet for transfers without a Credit Check -- The Co-Op does one as does TESCO I believe so try these.

 

As far as "Ethical Banking" goes -- although it makes mistakes like any other financial institution it does seem to operate a bit better than the other lot so try the CO-OP --of course there are some horror stories with this Bank too but it seems to have far less than most.

 

Living without Credit is the way to go -- just think you need NEVER worry again about what the Credit Reference agencies can do or say --another threat has now gone -- and believe it or not if you CAN offer cash when buying some items you can often get HUGE discounts.

 

In the future --OK it might be difficult to get a mortgage but as soon as the economy picks up again you can bet your bottom dollar that the Banks etc will be behaving again like flies around a cowpat --they'll be offering these again to ANYBODY to fatten the Banks profits again -.

 

Anway all these things fall off after 6 years in any case.

 

The LESS contol THESE people have over you the BETTER for you.

 

Added -- I see the Co-OP refused -- very strange -- did you ask for the Basic Bank account.

 

Maybe try Nat West --other people on this Forum have opened one.

 

I did suggest TESCO's but I see you have a TESCO card so try Sainsbury's Bank -- good thing about these is that you don't need to get cash out of a whole in the wall --just get cash back when you shop in Sainsbury's.

 

If you can get to London the new Metro Bank might be OK too.

 

Cheers

jimbo

I am very surprised at you being refused a Co-Operative basic account - they are usually the easiest of accounts for anyone to open - no matter how bad their debts are etc....

The only other one i can suggest is a basic post office account.

If you are still getting refused - then i would consider advice from someone like the CAB about this.
