    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing
    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer via phone. This part has now failed, as confirmed by the manufacturers who sent out their engineer FOC. This engineer installed a replacement part, our machine came back to life, but sadly they had to remove this part used for testing as "we would be charged for it" otherwise and reinstalled the old faulty board. The retailer are refusing to replace this part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.

    • 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 there, I am a new cagger. I also have the same problem. I originally requested a CCA from Mint and they sent me a copy of my signeed application form some 21 days after request. I then advised that the account is in dispute, (letter downloaded from CAG forum). Mint have now passed the debt to Triton credit service who have requested the whole amount of £4300. What should i do? Would really appreciate your help.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Has the debt been sold or are Triton just operating on behalf of Mint? I would advise Triton that the account was already in dispute with Mint and send the letter that Sam in the previous post and given you the link for. It needs a little adapting

My advice is given through personal experience and is given without prejudice

Hi Guys,

Once again, thanks for the info. I have prepared the letter and just about to post it recorded delivery and suddenly my phone rings... It was of course triton credit services. I didn't know what to say, so i told them that i did not want to discuss anything on the phone and that they will be recieving a letter from me.

Did i do the right thing?

Hello once again all, I hope everyone is well.

since my last letter, i received a call from triton but i refused to talk to them. On the 28th March i received a long letter from Mint. I will try and scan it in so you can read the contents. but the essence of the letter is as follows: The letter first outlines Mint's understanding of my complaint then it covers details of Mint's investigation and how they followed the consumer credit regulation properly. The letter is concluded with an apology and a statement to confirm that they are UNABLE to uphold my complaint and that the debt will need to be paid.

The letter gives 8 weeks to reply. But before the 8 weeks i received a letter from triton credit services threatening a CCJ or court proceedings. I hope this gives you an insight into my situation and would welcome advice on my next step. I will try my level best to scan both letters in by tommorow. Sorry don't have a scanner, have to rely on my brother.

Thanks again caggers!!:-)

Hi essexzed

 

I wouldn't worry too much about Triton. dcas will threaten al kinds of things but I reckon if you look at their letter closely it is full of "might", "may", "could" blah, blah.

 

Triton can do nothing to you....the account is in dispute with the OC so stuff Triton. Sending you an application form isn't complying with the CCA request and until they can comply the account remains in dispute.

 

You are doing the right thing by not talking to Triton on the phone. You are under no legal obligation to discuss personal financial matters on the phone. So there!

 

I would write back to the OC and say that they have not complied with the CCA request as they have sent you an application form and until such time as they do comply the account is in dispute.

 

Are there any charges on the account that you can claim back? I take it this is a Mint Card?

 

Also, a previous post asks whether the debt has been sold to Triton or whether it has just been passed to them to collect. and the answer is.........?

Hi Esse

 

As Cerberusalert says Try it on Sorry Triton are the banks in house DCA , I have had dealings with them and they can be very slipery you are doing the right thing by not speaking on the phone to them if you do they will try allsorts to try and get cash from you they are bulleys , so everything in writing also if you send letters to them by RD they sometimes show as not delivered on Royal Mails track and trace so if they show up as in the system or smilar ring RM and ask them to confirm delivery apparently the items dont show as they get signed for in bulk by someone from RBS and Triton are very good at saying they have not received any corspondence from you .

Good Luck

Thanks Ims21,

I just took a sigh of relief!!, as mentioned below, Trtiton, i believe are in house DCAs. In response to your question, yes this is a MINT visa credit card. I don't think there are any charges except the original debt, which totals £4,309.34. I have been paying this at £10 per month interest free up until the account was in dispute.

In the letter that Mint sent me, they are adamant that they sent me "a copy of the credit agreement that i signed". All i remember receiving is a signed copy of my application form.

I take it now i can just sit tight? Triton stated that they have recommended to Mint(royal bank of scotland) to instruct solicitors to recover this debt.

Hi

 

You say that as far as you remember you got an application. maybe a slly question but is there some doubt in your mind? If so I would send another CCA request to make sure.

 

Other threads seem to suggest that they won't want to go to court without a valid document.

 

Shame there are no overlimit or late payment fees though. Do you have the statements so you can check?

OK IMS, i will make a thorough check of all the paperwork i have received and get back to you, but i am pretty sure that i only received a copy of signed application with T&C's.

I have kept most of my statements, what exactly am i looking for? late payment fees?

ca7.pdfHello again fellow caggers,

I had to invest in a scanner, because things were getting a little worrying. I have attached copies of the letters received from MINT and triton. in order of receipt.

The letter from mint dated 28/3/2011 is a response to my letter which advised that the account is in dispute. (i downloaded the template from CAG)

and then the other letters followed. page 4 and 5 of Credit agreement will be in next post. can only upload 5 pages per post.
