    • 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.

Well Im gonna draft up a letter and so far I have this:

 

Thank you for contacting myself and sending me copies of statements (that i did not ask for).

 

Unfortunately this does not prove to myself that I personally owe the debt only proves that some one owes this debt to Barclaycard (quite considerably less than you have quoted).

 

I am now giving you notice that I require proof that I Signed to this account when it first opened and would like this within 7 days of the date of this letter.

 

Should I not receive a response within this time frame I consider this matter to be closed.

 

Anything outside this time frame or any demands for monies you claim is owed I will pursue this matter I am familiar with the CPUTR 2008 and the Office of Fair Trading's Guidance on debt collection, which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. AND in not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

 

Is there anything else I should put?

Just an update. The help I was after from my home insurance I am not covered for ID theft... So I am going to wait and see what I next get (if anything) from HFO. I gave them 7 days from a letter I posted on the 23rd so will wait until 1st June (taking account post and bank hols) then their time is up. I will then write to the OFT and complain (been busy with work not to this week) and send them copies of what they sent to me last and what I have sent to them along with the CRA updates!

I would inform equifax that an inaccurate default notice posted by a creditor or debt collector on your credit file is libel and as they are posted via equifax, then they too are committing libel by showing it to other potential creditors etc. So put it politely to equifax, to remove it or face court along with HFO for libel.

Please note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice. Always seek the advice of an insured qualified professional. All my legal and nonlegal knowledge comes from either here (CAG),my own personal research and experience and/or as the result of necessity as an Employer and Businessman.

 

By using my advice in any form, you agreed to waive all rights to hold myself or any persons representing myself of any liability.

 

If you PM me, make sure to include a link to your thread as I don't give out advice in private. All PMs that are sent in missuse (including but not limited to phinishing, spam) of the PM application and/or PMs that are threatening or abusive will be reported to the Site Team and if necessary to the police and/or relevant Authority.

  • 3 weeks later...

After nearly a month without hearing a single thing from HFO they have sent me a very tatty application form... In terms of small print it is very small not even a magnifying glass will be able to read this.... It has a previous address on it and security questions I wouldnt know along with a signature that is so feint your cant even make it out!

 

I sent a letter on 23rd of May stating I need proof within 7 days and they never responded until 16th June

 

They sent me a covering letter which says:

 

This letter is regarding your case which is being dealt with by HFO Services. A letter from your Account Manager is attached for your attention.

 

Please contact your Account Manager directly if you have any concerns or queries.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

The thing is I have 3 sheets of paper, 1 their covering letter (as above). 1 attached to the application form detailed application form request, and 1 is the application form!

 

So what do I do now??

 

I was in the middle of complaining to the OFT in writing before this came thru my door!

Can you redact your docs and post them up? Then we’ll help draft a suitably curt response. No T&Cs supplied? If it’s illegible, that is a complete defence. These laws have not changed. It’s their response and they’ll have to stand by it.

That’s too small, but also it’s got your info on it.

 

Perhaps open an account with photobucket?

 

Alternatively, I’d be happy to redact and post for you – you can send to me by PM, but it’s up to you. I’d rather be open about it than ask you by PM, so the site team now’s what I’m suggesting. Another alternative is to PM it to a member of the site team.

I have taken a template from another forum and have adapted it a bit for my case...

 

Thank you for your letter of 16th June 2011, the contents of which are noted.

 

I am disputing this account as I have never had this account with Barclaycard. As such, therefore, I consider this account to be in dispute and no further action should be taken by yourselves until this matter is resolved.As per OFT guidelines Section 2.8k "not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt."

 

I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the original creditor for resolution of this dispute as HFO Services cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

If HFO Services chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the CPUTR 2008 and the Office of Fair Trading's guidance on debt collection. I need to remind you that this states that it is unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain they are the debtor in question.

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

this paragrph: I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the original creditor for resolution of this dispute as HFO Services cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

I am struggling with that as I have not done cca request as I feel its ID Theft it doesnt apply to me.

The problem with that paragraph is that they can’t return it – they have bought it. However, if there is suspicion of fraud, Barclaycard should recall the sale.

 

See this:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?309439-HFO-in-The-Daily-Mail-Wed-15th-June-2011

 

 

I saw that...

 

Ok... Donkey I cant seem to get the photo over to you by PM... but will look into photobucket and see if I can clear out any personal details that may be shown and will repost to you... Unless you know a way round?

 

Well from what you are saying I feel I need to send a letter to 1 HFO putting account into some sort of dispute. 2. 1 to barclaycard and 3. to OFT, ICO etc.

 

The other thing I should point out from the statements they sent me (looks like computer typed). The last payment was 22nd July 2005 even tho this debt is not mine should it get past this date they legally can not chase for this money?

 

I'm off out now as need to get to Selhurst Park! be back in a while!
