    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59

    • 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.

Over the past few months, it has become more and more apparent that Capquest are using Statutory Demands as a debt collection tool and not for its original purpose, as a precursor to bankruptcy.

 

In 2009, 1st Credit were censured by the OFT for exactly the same thing Capquest are doing now.

http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2009/20-09

 

In my opinion, this needs to be stopped.

 

Can I ask that anyone who has received a Statutory Demand whether recently or in the past; whether it is ongoing or you have had it set aside (lost even) to place a link within this thread.

Could you also mention whether you have complained to the OFT or not.

 

If you haven't received an SD but are subscribed to a thread where a Cagger has received an SD, can you post a link.

 

From the OFT:

'Debt collection firms have a clear legal obligation to deal fairly and proportionately with consumers. This is more important than ever given the current economic climate, when people may already be suffering as a consequence of debt problems. We will continue to use our licensing powers to take firm action to protect consumers where debt collectors engage in oppressive behaviour or practices that fail to comply with our guidance.'

 

Printed below is a letter you could adapt to your own situation when complaining to the OFT

 

YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

 

FAO Ray Watson

 

Dear Sir

 

I wish to make a formal complaint about a company called Capquest. I have recently received a statutory demand which I intend to set aside due to a major dispute / which I have set aside in my local court, and despite (no response from Capquest / them not appearing in court) / to which I have not responded, and it is clear to see that as the time has run out to present a bankruptcy petition / It should be mentioned that at no time have they attempted any kind of personal service which I believe is an integral part of the Insolvency procedures. I feel they have used the demand as a debt collectionlink3.gif tool.

 

I understand that another debt collection agency were given 'requirements' by the Office Of Fair Trading back in 2009. In your requirements imposition you clearly stated to 1st Credit that.

 

refrain from issuing statutory demands warning of bankruptcy where it is unlikely that proceedings will be initiated

 

Can you please clarify to me if I am correct in stating that all debt collection agencies compliance departments should comply with this ?

 

I realise that you will not be able to get involved in individual cases, but I would like to bring this to your attention.

 

Yours sincerely

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Has an SD from HFC (marbles card) issued in 2007 before I found this site. Went to court, admitted part of the debt. HFC said if I let them have voluntary charge on my property (jiointly owned) they would not pursue SD. So that is what happened regretfully. I have not pursued this with OFT or anyone.

Received an SD from Capquest in April.Applied to have it set aside and hearing set for July.Sent CCA request to Capquest but not received (after 21 working days now). They have sent Notice of Assignment and that is all.Not started a specific thread on mine (can do if it would help) nor complained to the OFT yet.

i have taken advice from people on here and ignored any letters from capquest, to date no action has been taken by them, and the treat of a hand delivered SD has never been carried out, it does indeed look as though capquest are using the threat of an SD as an itimidatory move

Never bite the hand that feeds you, always remember that while you are on this forum you are just a peasant....

Thanks for your request to supply details of the SD from CapQuest. Actually, I did not get an SD. I just got a letter saying that they are now the owners of the account. Similarly Egg wrote to me and said that they have transferred their rights and your Egg Loan account to CapQuest Investments Ltd. It went on to say that , "Your loan is now the sole responsibility of the above company." Not sure if this helps you. However, I note that I did pay CapQuest. It still did not stop me paying 907 pounds in installments before I realized that I should not be paying them due to a prior dispute with the OC, in that the county court had set the account aside. Getting the money back is impossible, it's like getting blood out of a stone.

It looks like Martin attempted a similar exercise back in 2008 !

We highlighted this issue in 2008, apparently Winchester Trading Standards buckled under the weight of complaints and asked people to report to their local Trading Standards office.

 

IMHO, this is where this type of action fails as we cannot be certain that these offices then pass the complaints on.

Reported in the Telegraph in 2009

 

OFT orders debt collector to stop sending threatening legal letters

 

 

The OFT said an investigation into complaints made against 1st Credit revealed the company had failed to meet "satisfactory standards".

 

The OFT ordered 1st Credit to "refrain from issuing statutory demands warning of bankruptcy where it is unlikely that proceedings will be initiated"; "not discuss legal action with consumers unless it is likely that such action will be taken"; and "ensure sensitive cases involving vulnerable individuals, for example those with mental health or medical problems, are dealt with appropriately".

 

 

The action against 1st Credit comes amid wider concerns that a number of debt collectors are using aggressive, intimidating practices to recover money.

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/recession/4807580/OFT-orders-debt-collector-to-stop-sending-threatening-legal-letters.html

 

Yet here we are nearly 3 years on and this practice is still happening.

 

Please - complain to the OFT.

Yup, and as well cr@pquest 1st crud and CONnaught are still doing it!!!

 

Well even though 1st credits slap was in 2009, I would imagine that the OFT are still keeping an eye on them to see if they are still doing it.

 

Stick with Capquest for now and when the time is right, we can tackle the others (I so hope they are reading this thread)

I received a Crapquest notice six or seven weeks ago and sent them the letter pasted hereunder. I have heard nothing further.

 

***********

 

I am acting as the appointed representative of X in this matter under the guidelines issued by the Office of Fair Trading.

 

Your agent, Y has failed to comply with my legal request to supply a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account reference and may also have failed in its legal duty to pass my request for such true copy on to you.

 

On DATE I made a formal, written request for a true copy of the signed agreement for the alleged account under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 s77/78. I was sent a written response by Y dated DATE stating that they were no longer dealing with the account and that it had been returned to you. Notwithstanding that, the request is both legal and binding and perpetuates from the date on which it was made. I enclose a copy of my formal request.

 

My lawful request has not been complied with and as such the account has now entered default.

 

The document that you are obliged to send me is a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company (or the original creditor detailed in the allegation of debt) and my client as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments. If the executed agreement contained any reference to any other document (e.g. payment protection insurance), you are also obliged to send me a copy of that document. In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore, you are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before you/your client enters into a default situation.

 

This limit has expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

Therefore this account has become currently unenforceable at law.

 

As you have failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, failed to send a full statement of the account and failed to provide any of the documentation requested. You will also be aware of the CPUTR 2008 and the OFT's guidelines on debt collection which state under the title Deceptive and/or unfair methods - Examples of unfair practices are as follows - 2.8

 

(i) - 'Failing to investigate and/or provide details as appropriate, when a debt is queried or disputed, possibly resulting in debtors being wrongly pursued'

 

(k) - 'Not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt'

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

You have 21 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I look forward to hearing from you. This should be in writing only, as I have no wish to correspond either by telephone or in person (and no invitation to attend the premises of my client has been or will be made). Communications in any form other than in writing will be recorded and may be used as evidence of unlawful harassment.

Smeagol

 

Thank you all for being part of a forum which sheds light into this murky world.

 

I used to be uncertain - but now I'm not so sure....

I recieved a stat demand from crapquest in july 08, i ignored it and heard nothing until july 10 when i recieved another letter stating "on the xx july 08 a statutory demand for bankruptcy was sent to you, which we have not recieved a positive contact from.

 

Wetherefore find ourselves with no other alternative but to instruct our field agents resolvecall to attend your address and personally serve the statutory demand for bankruptcy.

 

If satisfactory service has been achieved by the agent, they will sign a witness statement that a personal service has been achieved which may be required by the court.

 

We do not take this step lightly, there are obvious costs incurred by this company by this personal service and witness statement. However, it is also necessary for the court, upon issue of a bankruptcy petition, to be satisfied that the creditor has done all that is reasonable to bring a statutory demand to your attention.

 

You can avoid an agent visiting your address and any further action being persued in relation to this debt by contacting us on 0871....... before (assuming they meant to add a date here but never bothered themselves)

 

If you contact us and agree a proposal for payment we will not accept any further failure without good reason and will move your account immediately to our field agents".

 

They more or less say in the letter that it was served 2nd class mail (incorrectly?) just to get a response and will have to serve it correctly if they wish to go any further with it. Proof if ever it was needed they are just using sd's as a collection tool and have no intention of following up on ignored sd's.

 

By the way this letter was also ignored as the debt is stat barred and i have heard nothing from them since.

November 2010 CAPQUEST started to "harras" me with daily numerous phone calls applying very threatening words including "force there way into my house and take my possesions. A Statutory Demand arrived in December 2010 followed by more threats and numerous phone calls. I fell into deep depression and went into further debt to get them off my back.

This prctise should be challenged and Capquest should be heavily fined and compensate its victims.

 

I have just written to OFT

If they did actually threaten to force their way into your house you should have reported it to your local TS who could have looked into it had they wanted to. Reporting it to the OFT will not lead to direct quick action because they are unlikely to research in depth invidiual complaints. As it was almost 6 months ago now I daresay no one will bother looking into it. These kind of threats are far easier to prove offences on that things like too many SDs.

 

A hundred or so people on CAG highlighting SDs doesn't mean too much on its own because

a) it doesnt take into account how many SDs CQ actually sent out in relation to how many debtors they are chasing

 

b) its difficult to prove their intention when sending the SD out.

I was served an SD from Crapquest last year. With the help from the fine advice on this forum, I beat it. Crapquest didnt attend court, so it turned out to be a 15 minute chat with the judge then it was set aside. I have not heard anything from Crapquest since.

 

If I can help by doing something else, I will. Im very grateful for the kindness and great advice found here at CAG. It is like an oasis of useful and clever information for people in distress caused by DCA's

I know George Davis was innocent (well... a little bit) & he does exist, but does Barry Davies?

 

Has anyone actually spoken to him? After all it's a requirement of serving a SD that you should be able to speak to him personally.
