    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Have they provided any evidence for this payment yet?

 

Have you pushed them for the evidence under CPR?

 

As of yet no sufficient evidence has been provided by them and the court have put dates in place for HFO to submit better evidence.

 

I have submitted some 'stronger' evidence of my own displaying no payments being made to anyone at the time in question so hopefully that might put the pressure on them itself.

What 'evidence' did they submit to the Court that a one off payment had been made?

 

Can you scan it and upload it?

 

 

All the evidence they had and brought to court was a 'screen' shot of some system that made out money had been made which to be fair any larry on a PC could create and it was not good enough..

 

They have since been told to produce 'much more solid evidence', Basically a payment from a bank or credit card is only deemed as being acceptable.

Sorry, not been in the loop for a while,

 

But where it says HFO Caymen purchased the debt on 5 oct 2007 and transfered it to HFO Dublin in Jan 31st 2008 via an inter group agreement, hadn't the account already been transfered to HFO Services automatically under the CP2 agreement?

 

Or am I getting mixed up?

No, not heard anything from HFO for months. Occassionlly they have sent my Dad their usual 72 hours crap, but they know that I know they aren't going to take me to court on the strength of their case.

Did you get a copy of the evidence, as you should have? Did you get a WS? Can we see them?

 

I did get a copy of the lame screen shot/file print out of figures that looks like was done in 'Notepad' by someone (there so called evidence).

The date has been set for the next hearing in Feb..

 

In the meantime I had to produce another statement by 8/12 which I did and submitted my evidence of no payment being made to both parties.

I also made reference in my latest statment that: I contacted M&S and was confirmed that the last payment ever being made by me on that account was in 2004.. 4 months after that payment was made the debt was sold to a company called Roxburghe T/A HFO Services, Wimbledon etc..

Which is the same address as Turnbull rutherford solicitors (who are acting on behalf of HFO).

 

I wonder if the judge will spot anything in that and then also spot the fact that why are HFO Capital in Ireland are getting involved.

 

I have yet to hear anything back but I know theres only a few days for them to get a reply back in.

OK, bog standard HFO/TR system notes.

 

A few things strike me as odd.

 

1. The charge off amount is £2,875.11 – this info would have been provided by M&S.

 

2. The assigned balance is £2,435.11 – some £450 less. Is there any way you would have paid £450 to M&S before the account was sold?

 

3. They record the last payment as 22 February 2011! Did they actually take any money then? It’s a moot point if the account was already SB.

 

Did you send an SAR to M&S to get account statements? Or have you called them to ask? If not, call M&S now and ask about the last payment dates. This is urgent.

No chance I paid 450.00 to M&S...

In Feb this year they phoned and bullied my parents into being made to think baliffs where coming out to there house (my old address at time of debt) and so she agreed to make payments on my behalf there and then as she was **** scared..

Luckily she told me and I stepped in ASAP and got the bank to reverse it just in the nick of time and no money ever did get to them.

That was when all the rest of it starts with all the bombarding of letters and calls and then here we are 9 months or so later going through a small claims process over an 'alleged' payment in 2006.

 

I have spoken to M&S as I could never get through to the desired SAR dept. that they have so a colleague gave me as much info over the phone as she could when I explained this.

I was informed that:

 

After the last attempted payment was made by me (according to there records was on 28/1/04 of a fee of 50.00 but bounced ) the account was left at £2875.11 until it was sold on 18.6.2004.

The exact name and address the debt was sold to on this date was: Roxburghe, T/A HFO Services, 5th Floor, 165 The Broadway, Wimbledon, SW19 1ME.

 

Again to get account notes in writing I need to call the M&S Agency team to request a SAR but can never get through to them so that was the best info over the phone she could give me at the time.

Something odd here. Something possibly very smelly.

 

M&S claim it was sold 18 June 2004? Can you call them again and double, treble check that? This is so important.

 

HFO claim they bought it on 5 October 2007.

 

Here’s why there’s a problem. M&S say it was sold to Roxburghe t/a HFO Services on 18 June 2004.

 

Well, HFO Services was only formed on 5 May 2004. It was dormant until 31 December 2005.

 

The company now known as Roxburghe (UK) Ltd was dormant until 31 August 04. Until 3 August 2004 it was known as Roxnet Online.

 

Here’s where it gets complex (and, some might say, deliberately so, a smokescreen of some kind):

 

HFO Services changed its name to Roxburghe (UK) Ltd on 16 July 2004 for a few days. It changed back to HFO Services on 3 August, the same day that Roxnet Online changed its name to Roxburghe (UK) Ltd.

 

What this means is that there was no trading entity that M&S could have sold to on this date in 2004.

 

Roxburghe’s forerunner, Roxburghe International Credit Services Ltd, was dissolved on 15 March 2005 but at the time of alleged assignment was also a dormant company.

 

Dormant companies CANNOT trade.

 

You need to get to the bottom of this.

The impression I have got from being in the court room was that whether it is stature barred or not everything is just hanging on the fact that whether a payment was made on the date in question of Nov '06.

 

Whether that impression would include that whoever was running what company at whatever time would not come into question.

 

I have however as explained before that in my latest reply to this case I explained that the debt was sold on to Roxburghe on such and such a date etc. trading the same address as HFO etc..

It's whether or not the judge will notice or maybe now wonder why 'HFO Capital' of Ireland are the ones who are acting as the claimants in this and question it or still make it irrelevant I do not know?

I did however also send a copy of a bank statement from the whole month in question with it showing that no payment of 20.00 had left my account on the date in question or any there around it.

 

Maybe I have just turned the screw a little on the whole matter I don't know. :x
