    • 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  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . 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.

Hi,

 

I have been lerking about on here about this company...

 

These guys contacted me about a an alleged debt with Barclaycard... The name they gave me is not my first name but they had the correct surname. I said to them on the phone whoever they are trying to get in touch with is not me and they were nto having it kept saying I was trying to avoid my debt etc etc... So in the end i said whoever they are trying to contact its not me and hung up! A week later I get this letter stating I have 3 days to pay etc what seems like a standard threat (after reading alot on here and other forums).

 

I checked on my Equifax report and they have me linked to a previous address but a different First Name. When looking at this it defaulted in July of 2005, date last delinquent was August 2005 and last updated August 2010.

 

The letter they sent to me had my correct name on there! So I assume they have done some form of trace and came up with me!

 

I have spoken to a legal helpline I get thru my home insurance and they advised me I need to report this to equifax as "identity fraud" and also sent to them on 18th April a prove it letter. I also tried contacting Barclaycard from the information they sent me and the account number and I couldnt pass data protection as the details I was giving them from HFO dont match their records.

 

Today I look at my credit report and the default date now shows as 08/2005 date last deliquent has been deleted and last updated August 2010 but still different first name!

 

Now what more should I should do? Should I now wait until they contact me again as I have not heard anything since beginning of April?

typical mo for hfo

 

can we be clear on one thing...

 

IS this your debt , or are they phishing?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Did you ever have a Barclaycard at all ever?

 

This does not really make sense, particularly the credit reference entry. Who is given as the creditor? Are you saying that the entry is not you but someone linked to you at an old address? These reports normally show people linked to you but not their actual credit entries unless it was a joint account. I think that I would get on to Equifax to look into this if you have not done so already.

 

NEVER speak to HFO on the phone. Ignore them for now as you have contacted them and asked for proof.

Please support CAG and they will support you.

I have never had a barclaycard... Its under the section where they think its linked to me on my credit file... I have already submitted to Equifax that this is incorrect and not linked to me in anyway, have done that today!

 

I have havent heard anything from them since I told them where to go at beginning of April on the phone and the 1 letter they sent to me that I received 16th April!

 

That post - WOW!

 

Are there many other people likely to email in to the reporter?

have you ever had any credit cards, loans etc, Morgan Stanley accounts were sold to Barclaycard.

US President Barack Obama referred to Ugland House as the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax SCA* in the world.

If the first name is NOT the same as yours (and not just a mis-spelling) and you have never had a Barclaycard and BC itself cannot get you through the security it is NOT your debt.... these 'mistraces' are quite well documented, google Beryl Brazier (RIP) and you will see what can happen when a mis-trace occurs.

 

HFO are known to be 'economical with the truth' on a lot of matters which is why we - the HFO Fan Club exisit.

 

If I were you I would write to Barclaycard and copy in the Office of Fair Trading, Trading Standards, Information Commissioners Office, Local MP and anyone else you can think of stating categorically that this is not your debt and you are going to take Barclaycard to court for defamation if they do not remove the entries and instruct HFO to withdraw their entries in YOUR name.

 

You can also SAR HFO for the information and SPECIFICALLY request the tracing information which lead them to 'assume' you were the 'delinquent debtor'.

 

BTW you cannot even read the HFO website as it is down and has been down for some time otherwise you would know they specialise in 'distressed delinquent debts'.

If HFO refuse to remove any records or notes on your credit file, then you can sue them for libel, as the info they have recorded/passed to a 3rd party is false and therefore derogatory, making it libelous.

 

Write a letter to them informing them of what you have informed us, highlighting the differences in names etc. And make it clear to them that if they do not remove all notes and records made to credit reference agency's on your credit file, you will issue a claim for libel against them.

 

Also report them to the ICO, also send a letter of complaint containing the account number to Barclaycard as you can sue them to if they still own the debt they are responsible for the actions of HFO.

 

Also send complaints to consumer direct, oft, fob, and trading standards.

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have for now left things be as I still not had a response in the 3 weeks since I sent the letter. Should I receive another I will then act upon it. The only thing I have done is inform Equifax and made them aware of the fraud and got their automated email. So I shall wait and see what happens from reading other threads I expect something to happen soon as they dont seem to go away quietly!

Does this appear on the other 2 main CRA's it would I think be worth checking.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Just an update... I heard back from Equifax who have heard from HFO urging I must call them to sort this matter - no surprise there... But to date I still not heard from HFO personally about this and not responded to my "prove it" letter.

 

Now should I really be doing anything else or should I just wait now and see what else they send me (bear in mind I have not heard from them since the letter on i received around 16th April)?

I don't think it ethical for a credit reference agency to be acting as a messenger for a DCA you may be in dispute with

thoughts anyone

Snap, who the hell do they think they are to suggest anything like that... your complaint is about how they have used information from the CRA to intimidate you and nothing else concerns the CRA in regards this matter.

There must surely be legislation some where that prohibits this abuse.
