    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

Are you receiving IS as you were a lone parent? If yes then your claim will close and then you will need to look at a partner claim for either JSA or if one of you ha a health condition that would prevent you from working and a GP will issue with a Statement of Fitness for Work (new style sick note) then you could make a couple claim for ESA. Being pregnant will not be a reason on it's own for claiming ESA. That is of course assuming that your partner is not working at the moment.

If your partner is working at least 16 hours a week then you can claim for Tax Credits as a family unit and you will be assessed for a new entitlement for CTC and possible WTC.

You may still be entitled to help with your rent and council tax but that depend on your household circumstances and income.

Thanks to everyone.

 

This is a very sticky situation! Basically my partner hasnt any recourse to public funds i have declared my changes today to IS + HB+CTB waiting a call back frm IS as they didnt have answer for me regarding my entiltment and said theyd inform b4 stopping my claim as i really dont have any other income.

 

HB-CTB have said to put it all in writing that id have to pay about £60 Per wk to have him there but again couldnt tell me for sure.

 

If my benefits were to stop i really dont know how id feed my unborn and 2yr old child?

 

Im in temp acc private rent which the council pay.

 

Ive been to CAB and they said it wouldnt effect anything as he cant work or claim that if they stop my money to go back to them.

Im just not convinced ive done the right thing?

 

Im so worried + stressed out on the verge of a nervous break down!

 

What if i get evicted and all my benefits stop what am i honestly going to do, thought id be honest do the right thing! Cant stop crying.=

I think you would be required to claim JSA as you won't have any condition of entitlement to IS when he moves in. He doesn't have any recourse to public funds so it will be up to yu to support the family unit on exactly the same money that you currently receive now from TC, ChB and IS which will become JSA. You will be able to restrict your Job Seekers Agreement as you are a parent to a certain extent as long as you are willing to seek work for a minimum of 16 hours. Pregnancy does not exclude you from the job market until you are 29 weeks pregnant (or you can actually work legally up to the date before your EDD) I know a lady who did that woth her 4th child!

I have declared him as my boyfriend-father to my child and unborn but he hasnt moved in yet.

 

After talking with a few people regarding my housing situation and his immigration status i think for now he continues to live where he is at the mo.

 

Many thanks for ur reply. Am now waiting on forms from IS.

However please don't think that I am trying to scare you with this but they could deem that you are to be treated as a couple for benefit purposes but you are what is called "geographically separated", the only reason that you are not living together is that you would lose your award to IS and they could terminate your award if the decision makers come to this decision. As soon as you report that you are pregnant and are claiming IS on the grounds of being a lone parent you will automatically be referred to an investigation team sorry :(

Thanks for ur input guys.

 

Yes i have declared him as my partner but we cant leave together for more than 1 reason.

 

Firstly his immigration status, it would effect his application and housing benefit would want his passport and thats near impossible at the mo and until they get it theyd suspend my claim.

 

Secondly my landlord wont give permission to have him at their property.

 

Ive been honest at the end of the day , what will be will be. x

Yes but as flumps says, you've already declared he's your partner. Had you not done this, and have never lived together then it might be easier to convince an investigating team that you're not a couple - but you've already declared you are. You may have some difficulties ahead.

Ive declared that im pregnant and that im now with the father but i havent told them were living together because were'nt.

 

I thought i had to tell them EVERY change in my circumstances?

 

Are u allowed to be partners, boyfriend + girlfriend without living together?

 

Very grateful for all the insight appreciated.

Yes any single person is entitled to have a partner. :)

 

As long as not deliberately living apart to protect benefits and as long as not contributing eg, paying for the shop at the till etc....and then eating meals etc... at your home too regulary. If the father to a new child thats fine also if you cannot live together, but you have to consider that if that is the case you would need to formally protect yourself by being careful.

 

 

By the way I am no insider, just another single mum who would protect herself and the kids knowing I am relying on benefits which others pay for.

 

 

Any person who is truly a couple as in having kids etc....spending loads of time together etc.....who but for finances would live together, need to think that your quality of life having the support of that partner on tap, especially when have new baby, is surely worth more than money. ps. that is no lecture, but fact is only you know wether you are single with partner or couple when it comes down to it.

 

Best of luck xx
