    • don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx    
    • Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?  
    • So this is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police
    • LOL - old one the fiver theory - although with the poops its take a fiver now, promise 10p  sometime in the future while claiming the reverse theory   So when is jenrick, an apparent slam dunk as referenced higher in the thread, being referred to the police? These poops need to know that anything they throw will be returned .. with interest  
    • Yup, it isn't a criminal case, it's hard to prove, but take a detailed look at my thread to see how many holes there are in what they have sent me, there is a picture building.

    • 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.

I've had some help on this forum in the past regarding this matter but I now need to know which step I should take next.

 

In 2003 I took out a loan with Goldfish (Lloyds) and couldn't afford the monthly repayments. They transfered the debt to a debt collection agency (CCS Credit) and I was paying back £60 a month from 2005 until last month.

 

I checked my credit report and it shows the debt on it but it is marked as "Settled" in 2005 and nothing more has been added to the entry since then.

 

CCS sent me an "offer" every 6 months claiming that if I paid them half the outstanding balance, they would clear the rest. This got me thinking, why are they being so helpful so I came here to ask and on that advice;

 

I sent a CCA request to the debt collectors and they told me they had no means of getting a CCA. Because of this, I stopped paying the debt collectors back. It appeared that CCS had bought the debt from Lloyds in 2005, Lloyds then marked the debt as "Settled" (even though it wasnt really) and havent done anything since.

 

I also SAR'd Lloyds and they sent me a letter last week confirming that they have no credit agreement for my file. All they had was a "statement" that showed my payments of £60 a month paying off a balance.

 

My question is: What now? It seems odd to me that if Lloyds sold the debt to CCS collect, why would they have a record of the payments I was making to them? CCS have already sent me a letter about missing the last payment.

 

The entry will drop off my credit file in November. Can Lloyds or CCS make any new updates against this entry seeing as it was settled in 2005? It also has no record of my payments to CCS even though Lloyds seem to have a record of it.

 

Help!

Hi there

 

It seems this debt was sold to CCS and at the time of sale Lloyds marked the debt as satisfied becausefrom their point of view it is.

 

When the debt is sold, all rights, terms etc etc passed to CCS and if you default on an arrangement with them then they can mark your credit file accordingly. Lloyds can't as it is no longer anything to do with them.

 

No idea why Lloyds should have a record of the payments to CCS. Incidentally, CCS should send you a statement at least annually. Have they been doing that?

Hi,

 

Yeah they sent me one a few months ago. It just shows 12 monthly payments of £60. I have missed payments before during the last 5 years but nothing was added to my credit file about it. The entry has no record of any payments either. I just want to make sure that nothing is added so that the entry can drop of my file as it will be 6 years since any activity on it was recorded in November.

Seems all you need to do is NOT default on the arrangement you currently have.

They don't have a CCA at all so the debt is not enforcable and I refuse to pay them any more money. If they haven't made an entry that I've been paying all these years, why would they update it now to say I haven't? Baring in mind that I have missed payments in the past and nothing has been updated then.

 

Can they even update an entry on my credit file once it's been marked as "settled"?

 

My aim from all of this was to find out where I stood and I wish I found out sooner that I had a non enforcable debt. Now that I know it, I would like the offer them a low F&F figure to clear the debt for good even though it seems like it will have no effect on my credit history and they won't be able to take me to court.
