    • There's no facility for a settlement "out of court" as such. But matters that are started under the "Single Justice" (SJ) Procedure can often be concluded without the defendant appearing. The SJ procedure, as the name suggests, involves a single magistrate, sitting in an office with a legal advisor, dealing with matters "on papers" only. Nobody else can attend. The SJ deals with straightforward guilty pleas. Anything where the SJ believes the defendant should appear, or which should be dealt with by the "ordinary" court are adjourned o a hearing in the normal magistrates'  court .As well as this, all defendants have the right to a hearing in the normal court if they wish. Nobody is forced to have their case heard under he SJP.  In particular, as far as traffic matters go, a SJ will not disqualify a driver and if a ban is to be considered, the case will be passed over to the normal court. Because, following your SD, you will be pleading Not Guilty (and offering the "deal"), your case would usually be heard in the normal court, meaning a personal appearance. To be honest, performing your SD at the court is a more straightforward way of doing things. It avoids any possible hitches involved in serving he SD on the court. But of course, as I said, most courts have backlogs which mean an SD may not be quickly accommodated. If you do end up doing your SD before a solicitor, check with them the protocol for serving it on the court. Do let us know what the solicitor says about Wednesday.    
    • Welcome to posting on CAG cabot, people will be along soon to help you try to sort this out. Please complete this:  
    • Quotes of the day penny mordaunt came out swinging with her broadsword, and promptly decapitated sunak while Nigel Farage, representing Reform UK, made contentious claims about immigration policies, which were swiftly fact-checked during the debate.   Good question though raised at labour about the 2 child benefit cap, which I broadly agree with, but the tory 'trap' assumes tory thinking - rather than child centric thinking. There should be no incentives to have kids as a financial way of life paid for by everyone else ... ... BUT the kids should not be made to suffer for the decisions of their parents Free school meals would feed the kids, improve their ability to learn, and incentivise them to go to school. As an added benefit ... it would invest in our nations future.   How far this should go is a matter for costing, social intent and future path of the nation, but not feeding our nations kids is an abomination. There should be at least one free school meal per day for every child who attends school. Full Stop. Its the cheapest and most effective investment in our future we could make.
    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx

    • 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.

Had an interesting phone call off them tonight. They got my mobile number and I spoke to them on the phone tonight at home. They state they bought the debt in 2006 and that the interest was piling on hence why the balance is now so much. I told them that I know they are a con and that they would not be getting any money out of me until I have had a copy of the CCA. The man desperately tried for a further 20 minutes to get me to agree a payment with them to which I refused. I told them that I have a solicitor of my own and that when I get paperwork from them proving that I owe this money in the form of the CCA etc then I would not be paying. I also told him that I have reported them for ringing me constantly at work and he assured me that he would look into this and stop it from happening. He tried to be intimidating on the phone but I stood my ground and stated that I was prepared to go to court if that is what needed to be done. After 30 minutes he got the message and let me get off the phone. He did state though that I would have to pay it one way or another and that the interest will continue to go on making my bill go up etc. He said that they are well within their rights to refuse any offer I make and continue to put interest on.

Well done for standing up to them, but please don't speak to them again. refuse to answer their security questions and then they can't speak to you.

 

They cannot add interest on a daily basis to your account so thats rubbish (unless a provision in the origional contract allows them to, which it won't).

 

Sorry to ask if you have already stated but did you say it's been 8 years since you last paid anything to this debt?

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

 

 

If I Have helped please feel free to click the star

Agreed - well done but don't speak to them unless you can record the calls . They will say anything to you to get a payment and will just try and incease the number of calls. Just say 'in writing only' and hang up.

Hi Dx

 

Is this the address that steph sends the SAR to? Is there a contact number or is it worth contacting BC? I don't know anything about Monument.

 

This could very well be Statute Barred if Steph has not had any contact with it for 8 years and it sounds like the data could be missing. If Steph cannot get the info, it is unlikely that HFO have it or can obtain an agreement

Formister - Yes I have not paid since 2005 as I presumed this had gone into my debt management and it would appear that HFO are saying this is not the case. They bought the debt in 2006 so they say...

 

coledog - I have been trying to find any paperwork with an account number but I cannot find anything at all. Would BC be able to tell me anything without an account number. I will have a look on the letter that HFO sent me and see whether it states an account number.

 

dx100uk - thanks for that address, I will drop them a line and see if they can shed any light on this

The original account number should be on the HFO letter, if not they have even less information to go on. There should be an account number and an HFO Case number.

 

Can you find out if any payments were made to anyone under the DMP or they wrote to anyone? a debt is SB 6 years after the last missed payment or written acknowledgement of owing the debt (5 years if you reside in scotland). I would not believe any info HFO give you as they are very unlikely to have the full facts.

 

Count the days from HFO's receipt of the CCA request as you can put the account in dispute, no credit agreement should keep them quiet

 

I think I would still give Barclaycard a ring to see what they say about this.

Please support CAG and they will support you.

Hi all

 

Just a quick update on the situation. I have wrote to Barclaycard to ask about any information they have with Monument on this account and am still waiting on a reply.

 

HFO have sent me a further letter with still no CCA. The letter states that they intend to get an attachment of earnings from my employer since I refuse to speak to them on the phone. They attached a copy of e-series consumer view which all that shows is my address's for the past ten years.

 

On there though interestingly I saw something about a mail order catalogue in 2004. Should that still be on my credit rating from all those years. It doesn't state who it is though so cannot check it out. Also am not even sure what this consumer view thing is!!

On the letter they state that they want payment of this within 3 days or they will apply for a warrant of execution and secure an order to obtain information etc and send bailiffs to my home to seize my assets.

 

The letter states that they intend to get an attachment of earnings from my employer
They are deliberately flouting OFT guidelines in the absence of a CCJ & you should make a complaint to Trading Standards & the OFT.

More info:

 

I have had a letter today from HFO with a photocopy of of a declaration from my credit agreement. The credit agreement is signed 14.3.03 with Monument. They have sent me a copy of statements from 07.06.05 to 07.06.06. The amount I apparently owed on 7.6.05 was £1,477.76 and even though there are several payments from me at reduced rate by the last statement I went on to owe £1,944.97 with all the interest, defaults etc that had been added on. HFO are saying I owe £2614.02 and they want payment in 3 days or will apply to a court for a CCJ. The last payment made by me was 09.03.06 for £20.00. This obviously had been missed off my DMP at the time. The credit limit I ever had with them was for £1,500. I am gobsmacked to see that well over £1,000 has been added on in extra fees. I have read on the internet that I can use the term Limitation Act 1980 if it is 6 years since my last payment.

 

Has anyone heard of this or do I have to arrange to pay this whopping bill?

They cannot add interest, as they did not comply with the Law of Property Act when they bought the account by sending you a notice of assignment. This is a straightforward fact.

 

Have they sent any copies of terms and conditions with the application form? Can you scan and post the form, with your personal details removed? If there are no T&Cs from the time of opening the account (as well as T&Cs from the time of termination) then they have not satisfied your CCA request and they CANNOT take legal action (enforcement) until they do (though they might try).

 

If they have not provided the T&Cs, we need to compose a dispute letter for you to send urgently.

 

Your SAR request should be imminent if HFO have managed to get the info...

 

But the debt is clearly not yet SB.

I’m puzzled, steph. You went into a DMP but this wasn’t included? Any idea why not? Yet you were paying a reduced amount of £20 per month? How was this arranged?

 

Also, please, please phone Barclaycard as advised and ask the following:

 

1. Exactly when did BC sell this account

2. Exactly to whom did BC sell it

3. When was the last payment made by you to BC.

 

This is very important. Record the call if you can.

I have no idea why this was missed. It was so long ago. The only thing that I can think is that I must have agreed to this before the DMP.

 

The last payment showing on the statement is for £20 saying payment received on 9.3.06

Suggest you block out your signature...

 

...but my first thoughts are ‘is that it’?

 

I’m struggling to read the important bit at the top right which refers to T&Cs – is your copy blurred here? This will tell us if T&Cs were supposedly attached or elsewhere, if present at all, and its content is vital to what you do next.

 

This is why getting a copy from the OC is also vital, to see if there has been any chicanery in making the important parts illegible. By law, it must be legible.
