    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]27469[/ATTACH]Hello to everyone at the Consumer Action Group.

 

I must say after receiving a letter from HFO i was at my wit's end , untill that is i thought something wasn't right with the letter and contents . I Googled them and came across this wonderful forum that took some of the worry of me and my wifes shoulders ( But not entirely) after seeing we were not alone in this.

 

A few days ago i received the aforementioned letter entitled REMINDER - NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT.

Now it said i owed £5621.02 For a Barclay card account which i did have but I'm sure it was not for anything like that sum of money . £1500 i think? Is it the 12% interest rate they've added?

Even so i can not lie , i did have an account and i fell in to debt with it . It was such a lot time a go ( about 6/7 years ago) and as time when by i completely forgot about it.

After reading a lot of posts from other posts am i right in thinking that the account is now statute barred ?

 

My wife is worried that they'll come around to our home and empty the place or remove savings from her account.

The dept was before i meet my wife so is the debt mine and mine alone? we don't have a joint bank account and the house is in her name.

 

I have applied for a credit check with Experian and should get info back soon.

They don't have any phone numbers and as you've all mentioned i will NOT be calling them.

 

As the letter states ( which i have scanned and attached) , i have 14 days to get to touch.

What is my next move? Should i request a SAR from Barclay card and send a Prove it letter to them ?

Please can you help to put my wife and myself mind at ease?

 

Thank you for reading and thank you to this wonderful forum.

and they

I would first phone barclaycard and find out when the last payment was, tel 0844 556 0066.also ask when and to who the account was sold.

To answer your other questions, they cannot take or attach anything to yours wifes' property/belongings/bank account - ever - so you can rest easy on that one.

 

Follow all of the advice given above, if the visit in branch does not bring the information required, is there a way you can check for yourself when the last payment on this account was made, and to whom. So long as it is 6 years or more (5 in Scotland) then you can safely assume the account is indeed SB. Your credit report should also show a default date. Have you noticed this on any previous Credit Reports? just because it is not appearing on a new up to date one does not confirm anything one way or another.

Gave myself long lunch break and went down to see Barclay's. Spoke to branch manager . He couldn't find any sign of my account on Barclay's system and because it was an old account they don't keep records. Plus the number given by HFO was card Number and not account number.

Should i wait to see if they sent another letter before i send prove it letter?

 

Any thoughts ???

 

No payments made for over 6 years i think and as for other credit reports , i had one done last year to open a first direct account and all was fine

Just do some research and try and determine where you were living at the time. You must get the info from Barclaycard to establish if it’s SB. The date of account opening should be recorded on your credit file (if it’s there).

As i was moving around alot (because of work ) , I have no idea were i was when i made last payment. So i should send Barclays a SAR which could take 40 days and in the mean time send HFO a prove it letter and see what they come up with ?

I know the address where it was first registered that should help. The rest are just long shots but given time i might be able to come up with last know billing address using street view.

I'm going through the same palava with this bunch of idiots (HFO) except my debt isn't quite statute barred, and i do want to pay it off, however i sent the CCA request last week which they have 12+2 days to respond to, they didn't respond to my prove it letter!! DO NOT speak to them on the phone either, DO NOT put your signature of any correspondance between you and them, just print your name, if they do try and contact you request EVERYTHING in writing and put the phone down, when you do send any letters make sure it's recorded, the CCA request needs a £1 Postal Order putting in with it, this comes after the Prove it Letter again they have 12 + 2 days to respond to the Prove it Letter, i haven't got around to ringing barclay card yet, so let me know how you get on.Also correct me if i'm wrong someone but if it's statute barred they don't have a leg to stand on in court??????? in the law's eyes 6 years is ample time to track someone down and get payment, you may want to check that.Let me know how you get on, and don't worry, it's easy to lose your mind over this as i'm finding out but the advice in this forum is sound and they know what they are talking about, i have had some sterling advice here!

Cheers guys . The point i was making with streetview was that i know the areas i've lived in but not the street name or house number so i can find that by looking at streetview.

So when i'm waiting for my credit check i'll send a prove it letter to HFO and see were that takes me . If there's anything else you think i should do please let me know.

Thanks for all you help and i'll keep you all informed on how it's going .

Thanks again.

 

 

 

PS . HAVE ATTACHED BETTER PDF OF ORIGINAL LETTER FROM HFO

[sigh] This company really are the pits... if they (Barclays or HFO) have not sent you annual statements of account then they are not entitled to add ANY interest to the debt until they do so.

You must refute the content of that letter by stating you have NOT been previously advised of any assignment. This is the trick they pull to try and claim interest. They have been sitting on these accounts for years – I would aver that attempting to extort interest in this manner when they are not entitled to it (and, as the shadow states there have been no statements or arrears notices) is bordering on the F word.

Hi Donkey and thanks.

Before i refute the content of the letter , should i wait for the return of my credit report i requested ( Should get it within a few days) and get as much info on the matter from Barclay's using a SAR. I was also waiting for credit report before sending prove it letter . Is this wise??

Also is there a template letter on the forum i can send to HFO, blocking their attempts to extort the added interest? But in doing this first would it not be saying to them that i acknowledge debt and HFO upping their pursuit of said debt.

You just simply say that they imply they have previously written to you about a debt of which you have no knowledge, alleging an NoA had previously been sent. You deny any such letters have been sent to you.

Just received a letter from HFO asking me to call with in 72 hours ( which i won't) or debt will go to court.

Funny thing is got first letter on 4th with 14 days to call and 7 days later get second asking to call in 72 hrs . weird.

I guess it is HFO's way of scaring you into calling them .

Must send Prove it letter tonight.

Still waiting for Credit report but have send a prove it note to them.

My next aim is to send a SAR to Barclay's. Is there anything else i should do in the mean time?

 

 

Please help getting a bit worried about it going to court.
