    • Another update - just had another round of Text messages, Emails and letters. Physical  letters still going to the old address (forwarded by royal mail). All messages were exactly the same as the previous round with threats of CCj's, Attachment of Earnings, Warrant of Execution, Bankruptcy and Charging Order. Seems to be a 2 week pattern of 1 week letter, following week email - texts seem to be a bit more randon, but always over 10 days between each one.  Not sure if IDR are working diligently behind the scenes to recover monies from me,  or are just spamming me in the hope that i stick my head above the parapet
    • Here  (edited for personal information).    Claimform.pdf filed defence.pdf
    • 1. the claim is for sum of 1650£ due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for capital one account with an account reference of xxxx 2. the dependent failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s87(1) of the consumer credit act 1973 which has not been complied with 3. the debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 18-03-21 notice of which has been given to defendant  4. the claim incudes statutory interest under s69 of the county court act 184 at a rate of 8%per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of 132£ the claimant claims the sum of 1782£ defence. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim vague and are 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. The Claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) Failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017.It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1PAPDC. 2. The Claimant claims £xxxxxx is owed under a regulated consumer credit account under reference xxxxxxxxx. I do not recall the precise details or agreement and have sought verification from the claimant and the claimants solicitor by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request who are yet to fully comply. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unable to recall the precise details of the alleged agreement or any default notice served in breach of any defaulted payments. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant contends that no notice of assignment pursuant to s.136 of the Law of Property Act & s.82 A of the CCA1974 has ever been served by the Claimant as alleged or at all. 5. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach requested by CPR 31. 14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence any cause of action and service of a Default Notice  pursuant to sec87(1) of the CCA1974; and (c) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 6. After receiving this claim I requested by way of a CPR 31.14 request and a section 78 request for copies of any documents referred to within the Claimants' particulars to establish what the claim is for.  7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief Should the amount be the figure in the particulars or the final figure with the added fees Should the amount be the figure in the particular or the final amount with fees added

    • 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.

If you have had charges added, then yes you can reclaim them.

 

Was the interest high when you took out the card, or has it increased in the 2 years you have been using it ?

The reality of life is that the more you use the card, the higher the interest will be as it is calculated on the spend. However if you have charges, then you can claim them back with the interest applied to those charges only.

is there a template letter about, on how to reclaim charges (late fees etc) x thankyou

 

You need to do some reading to become familiar with the process. You'll need to prepare a schedule of claim using a spreadsheet. I've attached one for your use.

 

In order to complete the sheet you will need all of your statements. If you don't have them you will need to send a Subject Access Request (SAR) to your lender and there is a template SAR in the CAG library, the link to which is at the top of every CAG page in green. There is a statutory fee of £10 for this and they will have 40 days to comply. Amongst other things, you should get back a complete transaction history/copy statements. You'll need to go through these and identify all the charges and enter them on the spreadsheet.

 

You will need to change the APR on the sheet to at least the rate they were charging you but I would also recommend you have a read up about interest in restitution here.....

 

http://www.consumerwiki.co.uk/index.php/Interest_Tutorial

 

Amend the personal details in the blue section and then in the white list section underneath the coloured bits, list the charges giving the date of charge, the description and the amount. All other clacs are done for you. Please note that the spreadsheet is protected in areas that you don't need to change so if you get a waring message it means you are trying to enter or change data in a protected cell.

 

When you are happy with your claim, you send a preliminary letter to your lender requesting refund. Give them 14 days. If they don't cough up, you then send a 14 day Letter Before Action and if they still don't pay then you will need to issue in court.

 

Templates for letters are all in the CAG library but do amend them to reflect your own style of writing.

 

Regards

Hi

 

As a SAR is issued under the Data Protection Act it is deemed to be a legal document so you can send it to the registered office with a paragraph in it to the effect that as it has been sent to the registered office, they must pass it on to the relevant department for compliance within the 40 days.

 

Regards

Sorry

But this thread made me laugh.

So I'll confirm this. So you've used the Card that you been accepted for, agreed to the Terms of the card by signing the agreement two years ago, been over limit which in all fairness is not the banks fault and now you want to reclaim back the charges?

It's a bit like going into Currys and saying I want this TV but don't want to pay for it. A Bank is still a business wherever we like it or not, and these are legitimate charges, where APR is variable and being in arrears on your account will see relevant charges applied. Sorry

sorry must disagree

 

the charges are not proportionate to the ACTUAL costs incurred

they are a naughty boy penalty, and as such are not lawful.

Ok. When people apply for a credit card and when they are lucky to be successful and are accepted they are happy to sign and agree to the conditions of the account and what will happen if the account is anyway late or over limit.. It clearly displays on terms and conditions that if you are over limit. charges/intrest etc this is what will happen. For an example... Late Fee- £ 12. It doesn't say £1 per £1 over limit etc.

 

They are the charges and other subjects that are part of the account, it's frustrating that people are happy to accept these terms when they want to, but then when these charges are applied no matter how much is charged or over limit occurred people are then disputing. I'm not being rude, but at the end of the day you were happy ro accept these conditions. It's simple as that why complicate life?

Ok yeah thanks for that. You ate aware OFT and Consumer Credit Directive has only recently changed? Things ate more clearly explained like Charging Orders taken funds from accounts held with that bank etc and relevant charges have been passed through this new comsumer policy. I'm not here at Midnight to teach that I'm simply replying to a question on this thread if no one likes it simply tough but if if can give more clarity to the OP then great

I'll agree with you in principle bob because I am nice like that.

 

Yes banks are in business to make money, but they aren't like any other business. They don't go to the cash and carry and buy stock, they have nothing and use the money that your employer insists on depositing into the bank every month instead of giving to you in your hand. They are making their profits with other peoples property and then charging you and me for doing so.

 

There is only one other highly profitable business that works on the same principle as a bank and that is Council Recyling. They get their stock for nothing and sell it on for a profit and charge you council tax for the pleasure of doing so.
