    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

Is there any way I can find out how much my debt was sold on for?. The reason I am asking is that I made a full and final settlement offer to Barclaycard early this year of 20% of the debt, they refused the offer and said the least they could accept was 50%, I could not go to this as I have to offer all my creditors the same percentage which most have now accepted.

 

I have just received a letter telling me that the debt has now been transferred to IDR Finance UK Ltd. I think it is important to know how much our debts are sold on for, as if they are around or below the offers that we have made, then it is not correct to pass the debt on at the same value only to cause more upset down the line, that is my opinion anyway, it should not be allowed if the debtor has tried to negotiate a settlement figure for the debt to then be sold on to a third party for the same sum or less.

 

I have also requested and never received a True Copy of the agreement, only the application form dated 1997. This debt has been with Mercers (I understand they are Barclays inhouse monkeys), and also passed to Power2contact for a short while. I have been informed by Barclays that my offer of 1.00 per month will stand for the next six months, after which IDR will negotiate a new payment plan. I have been out of work now for 18 months, after working for 39 years, and have applied for over two thousand jobs with no luck to date., and really need to know what I am up against with IDR and if it is best to just sit tight for six months and pay the pound, any advice would be really appreciated.

Hi gem

 

I don't think you will be able to get the information you seek, but you might be able to offer a lower amount to whoever bought the debt, it might work out in your

favour, but be very careful how you word any F & F Settlement.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I will be careful, I have not settled with any that have not put in writing that they will write the balance off and not pass to a third party etc, I also have True Call, so have recorded anything verbal as well.

Hi, for a while they added a twelve pound charge ofr not paying the minimum amount, and continued to add interest for a while, this has all now been frozen, and I note tha the balance has been reduced over the last four months by four pounds. Thankyou foryour reply.

For what it is worth, I read on here about 18 months ago when Barclaycard sold my debt to another DCA, that the going rate was 10p in the £pound. I am still saying to them that I will pay, at most, double that which I believe they paid.I STRESS THAT THIS IS HEARSAY, but given that I was offered a 50% discount within 3 months of the sale, I consider it to be fairly near the mark.If you have a repayment plan in place that costs you £1.00 per month, stick with it. Don't be bullied into paying more if you cannot afford it. At worst, a court would uphold your agreement, IF THAT WAS TRULY ALL YOU COULD AFFPORD.15 months after I started to repay my debts, I fould that I couldn't continue at the current rate. I simply wrote and told everyone the facts with a current budget statement, and reduced the standing orders - no-one stuck out against me.A golden rule NEVER PAY BY DIRECT DEBIT - it puts them in control, not you. PAY BY STANDING ORDER - you choose what to pay and when.All of this I have learned in my two years on this site, but each case is slightly different. I wish you well.LSP

Hi Luckysandpiper (hope you are sending me one) thankyou for your reply. I have managed to negotiate with four of my creditors, Egg snapped my hand off for 20%, MBNA agreed to slightly more, but on a debt of 14K I settled with 4K, the others were also within my budget. I really would like to get the last few sorted as it has been a bad couple of years for me so far and would be good to at least say I have achieved something worthwhile out of it all, to be debt free by the year end was my intention, 60k of debt now down to 20k, so getting there and all thanks to this site and all the amazing people willing to give their time and advice I have learnt so much on here.

Hi Moroondevo52, How do I go about reclaiming the 12.00 charges?.

 

If you do not have all your statements, send a Subject Access Request to Barclaycard, this will cost you £10 (Postal Order), send it recorded.

When you calculate the charges applied to your account you then send a Prelim letter asking for these charges back.

If after 14 days they have not complied with your request you then send them a Letter Before Action telling them you will be taking the matter to court.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.
