    • So as I stated, I posted my letter off but over 2 weeks later I've had a visit from one of their reps. I didn't indulge him in any conversation, and I just stated that any such debts are statute-barred and closed the door on him. I was hoping they'd take notice of the letter. Where do I go from here? Thanks
    • I apologise if I was being unclear. Where it currently stands is that they will have it repair, placing scaffolding in our garden for 5 days. They have moved fast, but we will still have to postpone our contractors, meaning, we won't necessarily have the work done in time for the wedding and therefore will incur additional expenses for either a marquee or a wedding venue. They are vehemently against having any kind of liability in any regard but continue repeating that they are legally entitled to use our garden for their repairs (I believe this is true unless the work can be carried out using a cherry picker). The neighbour seems either indifferent or oblivious to the fact they can't reach all of the side of the roof from the space where they can place the scaffolding. They have asked their roofer of choice about using a cherry picker but the roofer has said it wasn't possible. It's not clear whether the roofer doesn't want to use a cherry picker or whether there is an issue with it. They have told us it is a problem that we are installing a gazebo as it will prevent them to access their roof from our garden in the future?!?  
    • Couldn't agree more, really wanted a true ruling on this just for the knowledge but pretty sure the Judge made some decisions today that he didn't need to?.. maybe they all go this way on the day? We hear back so few post court dates I'm not sure. Each Judge has some level of discretion. Their sol was another Junior not even working at their Firm, so couldn't speak directly for them! that was fortunate I think because if she would have rejected in court better, she might have  been able to force ruling, we are at that point!, everybody there!!, Judge basically said openly that he can see everything for Judgement!!!  but she just said "I can speak to the claimant and find out!" - creating the opportunity for me to accept. I really think the Judge did me a favor today by saying it without saying it. Knowing the rep for the sol couldn't really speak to the idea in the moment. Been to court twice in a fortnight, on both occasions heard 4 times with others and both of my claims, the clerk mention to one or both parties "Letting the Judge know if you want to have a quick chat with each other"! So, it appears there's an expectation of the court that there is one last attempt at settling before going through the door. So, not a Sol tactic, just Court process!. Judge was not happy we hadn't tried to settle outside! We couldn't because she went to the loo and the Judge called us in 10 minutes early! - another reason to stand down to allow that conv to happen. Stars aligned there for me I think. But yeh, if the sol themselves, or someone who can make decisions on the case were in court, I would have received a Judgement against today I think. She was an 'advocate'.. if I recall her intro to me correctly.. So verbal arguments can throw spanners in Court because Plinks dogs outsource their work and send a Junior advocate.

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Apologies for posting a new thread i am sure the information is somewhere on here, i am just feeling really stressed and upset. I recieved a postcard through my door, which i now know i should never have replied to. It related to a debt from 2004 i think, but i cant be sure. They say i owe £3000 and made a payment in 2006 again i have no recollection of this. I have had debts in the past but i was sure i had paid everything off.

 

I believe that as i have confirmed my address and date of birth that i have now accepted the debt? Is this true? I never admitted to the debt over the phone. I am terrified that they will try to get money off me now. I really need advice on what to do. I have asked for a breakdown of the account as i have no recollection of it. Is there anything else i should do at this stage. I am really down and stressed out about this, my debts caused me to loose everything a few years ago, i thought i had got my life back now this.

 

Not sure what to do. any help would be great.

 

Thanks.

Hi manc

 

Welcome to CAG

 

Well you've just had an example of Rule 1 . . Stay off the phone

 

All you've done is confirmed that you are you and where you live and opened the flood gates so be prepared for the grap mail to start

 

The only way to acknowledge "The debt" is in writing or by a payment, talking of which if they reckon you made one in 2006 they must provide absolute proof

 

Get your thinking cap on and try to recollect any/all the info you can

 

They have to prove you owe them money not the other way round

 

Don't panic for now, wait and see what thier next move is but get to work in the mean time

 

good luck

How much info is on the post card, as I doubt there

is enough on that to warrant a prove it letter?

Thanks guys, I'm really glad that me phoning them back and confirming who i am is not accepting the debt, as i read on another forum.

 

The postcard was really bizarre just came through letter box to the occupier asking to phone emma back on a number quoting a reference number. I feel really stupid having phoned them, reading the forums here. I did not give them phone number and used 141.

 

I think i will take revernant's advice and wait to see what they do. It is so hard to think about payments i made in 2006, but i am pretty sure any debts i had were cleared in 2004. I wait and see with what they come up with.

 

Thanks again guys. Feel a bit better about this already.

It seems they are sending a bulk load out like this, I also received one addressed to The Occupier.. I marked it as not known at this address and junk mail, return to sender.

  • 3 weeks later...

Hi All,

 

As predicted recieved my first letter from Wescot today. Having asked them on the phone to send me a breakdown of the account and the detail of the payment i made in 2006, which i do not believe i made, i have now recieved a letter which says

 

"Despite a number of requests for payment, you have failed to agree and maintain an acceptable repayment plan on the above account...."

 

It goes on to say that my account has been refferred to Nelson Guest and Partners solicitors with a view to issuing proccedings against me. Firstly they have not made any attempt or any requests for payments yet, and i asked on the phone for them to send me details of the account which they have failed to produce.

 

they are threatening me with A charging order against my house

an attachement of earnigns order

and a warrant of execution

 

Can they do any of this without producing evidence of the existence of the account.

 

Can you also give me a link to the best prove it letter on the site.

 

Also they sent a postcard to the occupier to my house, i think one of you said this was a breach of the rules, should i bring this up the prove it letter?

 

Any help would be great guys. Sorry had a look for the letter on the site but could not find it.

 

Thanks

Manc:-x

Ignore them, they have done diddly squat, they are merely phishing.

 

Once they pass it onto their next desk NG& puppets you can tell them to clear off too.

 

That is a standard computer generated threat letter, they all use the same template, "despite our previous attempts" when they clearly have sent nothing and haven't even contacted you previously.

 

The threats are just that, and empty ones at that, they need to issue a summons first before they can do any of that nonsense, and then you will be able to defend it.

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!
