    • I recently bought some trainers from Sports Direct and was unhappy with them and their extortionate delivery and return postage charges. So I tweeted about being unhappy, and received a reply from someone claiming to be from Sports Direct asking me to send my order number and email address by pm, so a claim could be raised. Which I (stupidly) did. The account used Sports Direct's name and branding, and a blue tick.  The following day I received a call from "Sports Direct Customer Service", and with a Kenyan number. They asked for details of the issue, and then sent me an email with a request to install an app called Remitly. They provided me with a password to access the app. And then I saw that it had been setup for me to transfer £100, and I was asked to enter my credit card number so they could "refund" me. I told them I was uncomfortable with this (to say the least), and was just told to ring them back when I did feel comfortable doing it. Ain't never gonna happen.  I just checked my X account, and the account that sent the message asking for my details is gone. I feel like a complete idiot falling for what was a clear scam. But at least I realised before any real damage was done. So if you make a complaint about a company on social media, and you get a reply from someone claiming to be from that company and asking for personal details, tread very carefully. 
    • The good news is that their PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012  Schedule 4.. First under Section 9 (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; (b)inform the keeper that the driver is required to pay parking charges in respect of the specified period of parking and that the parking charges have not been paid in full; The PCN does not specify the parking period. AS you rightly say the ANPR times do not include driving to the parking space and then from there back to the exit. And once you include getting children in and out of cars especially if seat belts are involved the time spent parked can be a fair bit less than the ANPR times but still probably nowhere near the time you spent. But that doesn't matter -it's the fact that they failed to comply. Also they failed to ask the keeper to pay the charge.  Their failure means that they cannot now transfer the charge from the diver to the keeper . Only the driver is now liable. As long as UKPA do not know who was driving it will be difficult for them to win in Court as the Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. Particularly as anyone can drive any car if they have the correct insurance. It might be able to get more reasons to contest the PCN if you could get some photos of the signs. both at the entrance and inside the car park. the photos need to be legible and if there are signs that say different things from others that would also be a help.
    • Farage rails and whines about not being allowed on the BBC ... ... but pulls out at the last minute of a BBC Panorama interview special. It was denied it was anything to do with his candidates being outed as misogynists and Putin apologists, or that farage was afraid Nick Robinson might throw some difficult questions at him ... despite farages recent practice at quickly cowering in fear.   It was claimed 'it wasn't in Nigels diary'     Nigel Farage pulls out of BBC interview at last minute amid Hitler row WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK ‘Panorama’ special postponed as Reform UK party faces row over candidate who claimed UK would have been ‘better off’ if it had...   Waaahhhh
    • i'd say put lowells to strict proof of where the payment came from. cant hurt to send SB letter, even if proved not. at least they get your correct address. they'd have to link the old IVA times scale to a payment  these IVA F&F pots (if thats where it came from) most mugs dont even know they are not only taking most of your payments on fees but also creaming money off to supposedly offer F&F's.  funny when the IVA fails or is complete these sums of money in F&F pots never get given back or even mentions... these IVA firm directors esp with regard to knightsbridge and creditfix were fined and struck off more times than Paul Burdell of Link Fame and still managed to continue to scam people.
    • Hi everyone, I received a charge certificate with a charge of £165  in April 2022 however I never received a PCN and NTO before that. I responded by requesting original PCN reissued in the hope of getting discounted rate which was refused however I was offered to pay £110. I received an Order of Recovery in May 2023 and submitted a witness statement on time by email to get the original PCN re-issued. I received a Notice of Enforcement in February 2024 I contacted TEC that I had submitted TE9 on time and they advised me to submit a late witness statement and TE7. I did as advised and also attached the original email and witness statement as proof to show that I had submitted my witness statement on time. The council disputed my late witness statement by saying that I likely received the PCN and that I did not submit a valid late witness statement without specifying why it's not valid. The court refused my late witness statement without giving any reasoning behind their decision (so much for the transparency). This is really outrageous as I did attach the proof of submitting the witness statement on time and it seems like the court just decided without looking at the case files. Can someone please advise me what should I do now? Any help is appreciated. I have attached all the documents below.   Documents.pdf

    • 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 feel that you do not realise that it is not threats of litigation that are the problem the simple fact is that claims are being issued

as threats and then discontinued once the claimant has achieved their objective of intimidating an alleged debtor in to agreeing payments.

I do not think vegetables have a place in court buttered or not.

 

With respect i am not sure i see your point.

If a case is taken to court then discontinued, the defending party does not have to pay anything.

The fact is , as you say, creditors can take people to court.

Agree about vegatables not having a place in court, although i think i have seen one or two there in my time.:madgrin:

I draw your attention to post 26 the use of the term summons, this is not relevant to civil claims

failing to answer to summons can have profound repercussions unlike a civil court claim which if you decide

not to defend or appear results in either judgement in default or dismissal

Thanks Rosy,

 

The repayment arrangement has been in place since 2009 and not one payment has been missed.

 

When I fell into difficulties Egg where informed & I sent them a National Debt Line I&E sheet which they accepted.

 

If anything my position has worsened but I have stuck to you arrangement as I want to clear the debt before I retire (providing the Government stop moving the retirement age :( ).

 

Incidently the last line in their letter states its their final response & they will not discuss it further.

Just because a debt is is SB that doesnt mean you shouldnt pay it - from a moral point of view.

 

 

If credit companies can scare people into paying debts by threatening court then you would ask why those people were not paying to start with.

 

There may well be some peopel that end up paying wrongly for one reason or another but on the whole you would hope someone who genuinley believes they have no reaos nto pay or win i ncourt would let it goto court and let a court decide the issue.

as much as cag is not here for debt avoidance and that is something we will never condone

 

we equally are not here to trumpet the moral high ground

 

if the creditor cannot be bothered to want a debt paid in the six years leading to sb

we equally can never allow fleecing dca's to get away chasing sb'ed debts

 

none of that money ever goes to the oc anyhow

it simply funds their further operation in this murky business

My thread seems to have gone completely off track/topic.

 

This is nothing to do with SB or debt avoidence.

 

My debt has been sold to a dca and although a request was under under cca 1974 for the agreement they have failed to provide it - I HAVE NOT STOPPED PAYMENTS OR THREATENED TO DO SO, I owe the money & intend paying it, however I am continuing to pay the original creditor (EGG) until such times as the dca complies with cca 1974 - if they own it they should be able to provide the document.

 

Their threats & demands are centred around the fact that payments are being made via EGG, I wont speak to them

on the phone & although I've had a payment arrangement in place for almost three years the dca says that is now null & void.

And therein lies the truth, the DCA speaks with forked tongue!

 

Either believe what they are saying and pay them, or completely ignore them, as they are deluded and wouldn't know there left from their right, and continue paying the OC direct.

 

Your final option would be to suspend payment as no agreement has been given to you, which you lawfully requested, and then wait and see who it is who comes out of the woodwork demanding money.

 

If the OC can't be bothered to collect this themselves and has decided to farm it out to a tin pot DCA, then they would have informed you of this, or should have at least.

 

It is after all your choice as to what you wish to do, but you posed the question and have been given advice, albeit some questionable #84, can't stop laughing at that...... So the choice is yours.

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!

I would continue to pay as agreed with Egg , I would also continue paying to the original creditor until you receive a verifiable copy of an assignment notice proving that the ownership of the account has been transferred.

The fact that only the DCA appears on your credit report proves nothing. It is the duty of any party taking over management of an account to process data, they do not have to own it just service it. This is quite clear from the ICO guidelines.

If they do not want to provide the information then, OK they would have to provide it to a court if they wanted to enforce the agreement anyway.

It is all hot air and bluster.

Keep everything in writhing and keep up your end of the bargain made with the OP, everything will fall into place once they realise that you cannot be railroaded.

Yes of course as i said you are quite right "claim" i am involved in both civil and criminal proceedings or have been i sometimes get the terms mixed up" deepest apologies for the severe distress this grevious error must have caused the OP:|.

As to your second point, no i think that if a "claim" is not defended then summary judgement for the claimant is usually entered.

If it is discontinued as mentioned in your earlier post, then the immediate action fails. There is generally no cost to the defendant, oops did it again.

Default Judgements are often very easily set aside, criminal Judgements are not

 

How does this help the OP?

I think that this is enough of this irrelevant nonsense on this thread, don’t you. Be glad to contribute if you want me to educate you elsewhere though.

  • 10 months later...

Well I havent been on here for almost 12 months.

 

Been very quiet as far as the dca is concerned, in fact nothing from them until a month ago when I suddenly received a letter from them sating that if I didnt ring them they intended to get either an attachment of earnings or a second charge on our house.

 

Kindly remined them that my cca request had not been forfilled, then last week they finally provided a copy of the cca & account statement, also enclosed was a letter stating I have seven days in which to ring them to discuss repayment, they are insisting that it has to discussed over the phone & wont entertain letters.

They are desperate to speak to you on the 'phone because they will say things they wouldn't dare commit to paper, that's why it is important never to get into a telephone conversation with them. If they have anything of importance to say they can do it in writing which will leave a nice paper trail.

They have no right to demand such a thing, sending responses in writing slows down the process and ensures you are not put under undue pressure which is what they are trying to achieve here. DONT let them dictate how the communication will take place, if any. If you have a wish to negotiate with them then I would almost certainly keep things in writing as nothing said over the phone will ever be recorded at their end, unless you have a recording device and advise them at the start of a conversation that you are recording you cant trust anything they say.

 

The OFT debt guidelines state you can ask for communication to be in writing and as such if thats your wish tough on them. Remind them that they are dealing unfairly with you asking you to phone them and that you would prefer to have everything in writing so you can ask/seek advice from a third party (CAB, etc etc)

 

The OFT debt collection guidelines state it is an example of unfairness if a company is:-

Section 3.3 k:

ignoring or disregarding debtors' reasonable requests in respect of when, where and how to contact them
