    • 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?
    • 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 all. i have been repaying Dlc for over 12 months at £2.00 a month set up as a standing order. until this debt is paid. or until i am well enough to work the hours to repay more money to them.

due to serious illness i am unable to work full time and can only manage part time at the moment..

the problem i am having is Dlc are asking for more money even phoning me writing letters, i dont have the money to apy any more at the moment. 12 months ago i sent a letter saying if they cashed this cheque then they were agreeing to this amount every month until the debt is repaid in full.. out of all my creditors 8 intotal Dlc have recently been giving me a hard time.

i recieved a letter today saying they want payment in full or they would send a collector to my house to recover the money in full. or they would seek action through the courts.

 

can they do this if the debt is being repaid. even at a small amount.

Hi

In a few words, no they can not do that (well they can ask... but they can not force you to do it).

Probably best to reply by saying you are unable to increase your current agreed payments and are unable to pay the account off.

Just continue as you are and if they decided to go to court (which they won't) a judge would most certainly not find in their favour (and would repremand them for using the court system and process to attempt debt recovery)

Hope that helps

Hi - I would now reduce the amount to £1, because of their greed. A judge would only demand you repay £1. As for door step - lots of advice on here how to deal with it - some serious some funny. They have no powers, so please just get on with your life and ignore these cretins

IMO, just continue with the agreed payments and lodge a formal complaint about them to the OFT&TS via http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/UsefulContactsByCategory/Governmentcitizensandrightscontacts/DG_195948

 

And also to the FOS http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm

 

If they ring just hang up, or tell them "everything in writing" then hang up, keep a diary of events also, especially regard to their telephone calls, then you can report them to the Police for the criminal offence of harassment.

 

The threat of a doorstep collector is just that, a threat, and intimidation to get you to pay what they want. If they do indeed send anyone foolish enough to come onto your property and demand money then tell them to go away or you will call the Police and report them for a breach of the peace.

 

If they DO NOT leave, or sit outside your property in a car then call the Police 999, and report that there is someone on your property who will not leave when asked to do so and you believe they will cause a breach of the peace.

 

Print the letter off in the link below and keep it by the front door.

If you do receive a doorstep visit we give these suggestions to Members.

 

Give them the template letter linked below through the letterbox or chained door.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...DOORSTEP-VISIT

 

Tell them to leave as you have nothing to discuss and all communication must be in writing.

 

Tell them you will call the police if they don't leave immediately.

 

Remain calm and polite at all times.

 

Walk away from the door so the visitor cannot try and talk to you.

 

If they don't leave, call the police to report that you are being harassed and the visitor refuses to leave.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hi these prats have no more right to demand from you than I do. (I have no rights my wife say so)

The only people that can demand anything are the court system. If they try to make a doorstep collection then give them the doorstep letter and tell them they cannot have your doorstep. As I have said above they have no power at all, dont ring and if they ring you get a load whistle.

 

All the best dpick

Dear oh dear!

 

Ring the Police and inform them that you have been threatened by these complete clowns that they are going to send "MEN!" to your address and will gain entry, could they please place a marker on your phone number/entry to the effect that "IF" you ring 999 in relation to this particular threat, they send an immediate response.

 

Tomorrow AM, complain to the following,

 

The OFT&TS via http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/UsefulContactsByCategory/Governmentcitizensandrightscontacts/DG_195948

 

The Financial Ombudsman http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm
