    • Thank you again. I'm hoping it will come out in the wash and will endeavour to check my online account. I'm a bit unsettled by not hearing from Booking.com but the host is sounding helpful at the moment. HB
    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB  
    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre Name of the Claimant ? JC INTERNATIONAL AQUISITION How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self Date of issue – 22 May 2024  Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – 1. The def owes the claimant £300 in respect of gas and electricity charges supplied by OVO. 2. Debt was assigned to the claimant with notice given to the def. 3. Despite formal demand the def has failed to pay the debt and the claimant claims £300 and further claims interest pursuant to s69 of the CCA 1984. What is the total value of the claim? £385 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? Yes   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No   Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Energy debt When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Moved home and they were the current energy supplier  Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax/Etc...) ? No Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Debt assigned to JC International Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Not sure probably  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Again can't remember but probably  Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? No Why did you cease payments? Changed supplier What was the date of your last payment? Never  Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No
    • Their FAQs state - Cancellations and modifications If your booking has been cancelled, Booking.com refunds you immediately. The processing time may take 7 to 10 days and depends on your bank. If you have questions, contact your bank directly. I'm a regular Booking.com and AirBnB user.  The former have never cancelled.  The latter have and my money was refunded immediately (not that that helps you as we're not talking about AirBnB!) Best to check with your bank and see (a) if you did pay in advance and (b) if it has been refunded. Also, have you received a message from Booking.com officially stating the cancellation?

    • 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.

You can submit an amended defence, but you'd need to apply to the Court for permission and pay a fee. (£75)

There are plenty of these threads in the success forums, pinny24x7

 

Couldn't we have a tread/sticky only for cca successes? It's difficult trawling through all the success stories in order to search for cca successes, hope this make sense.

 

Can I ask forum members to pm links to their CCA Successes? I have spent hours on end trawling through various threads and I am still struggling.

 

Thanks in advance

Hmmm... I don't think a sticky would work, as there'd be so many and it would take too much site team time to manage it. I'll flag it up and ask the question for you, though.

 

I think the main issue with this is that most members that have CCA successes seem to disappear shortly afterwards. Then you also have to consider those that have been "gagged" with settlement offers that are accepted, plus the fact that we know creditors read these forums, meaning we probably don't see as many successes as we actually have, if you get my meaning.

Thanks for getting this checked out... In my own situation for example I have posted a thread for opions on a black horse agreemet to see if the agreement would be enforceable but I have not had an answer yet. However if there were a successful/unsuccessful thread that challenged an agreement identical to mine than I could use that particular thread as a refernce point.

 

Hope this makes sense

This to me is a major question. If this is a useable point of law it could have MAJOR implications for a great many Egg Card agreements which generally have the signature box on the reverse side under a reference to the T&Cs.

In what role?

 

 

Have a look here Company security interests - Google Book Search

 

Roy Goode is above him in the list too:)

 

Well I have emailed him, Professor J K macleod after some digging. I have asked him the questions concerning the prescribed terms having to be on the same side as the signatures and not on the reverse. Also an explanation to the required terms commonly on the reverse (T &C's)

and I also asked him to clarify that the prescribed terms should NOT be in aseperate document or referred to elsewhere.

 

Its worth a shot he may ignore or he may reply and that would be great as some clarification as to this is needed.

i think its a very important point and like others have said, maybe the successes that have happened, we dont get to hear for one or other legal reasons of course would help us but of course something is stopping the posters in telling all

I have had two successful claims against HFO/Barclaycard. They got two default jusgenebts (due to postal strike) and registered a charge on my proerty. I got both judgements set aside, got the Charge removed and had both claims struck out. HFO applied to have one of the claims reinsated. However at the hearing of their applicaiton the DJ held that the agreement was unforceable and so their applicaton failed and I got £300 costs. I do have some legal knowledge which of course helped, but all I have learned about CCAA and how to beat HFO I found here on the CAG. Please feel free to cntact me. M experinces are documented here on the site, but I am always willng to help.

 

Lots of love

Hi

I think the peice you quoted refers to post may 2005 agreement which are coverred by the 2004/1482 agreement regulations.

The earlier regs co not require the signature to be on the same page of the agrement as the prescribed terms in fact they can be anywhere within the agreement.

The new ammended agreement regs altered this in 2005 when it intrudeced the key information format which alter the no dispecement rules contained within the 1983/1553 to include the signature box.

 

The embodiies versies contains definition is expalained on here several times by me and othere and is pretty much as you say .The term "Emodies "refers to any document other thatn the agreement which was involved in the anticedant negotiations.

I have a friend who has several credit cards with MBNA in the UK, he has been told by a debt elimination company that he can elimate his debt because he signed for the card but not the debt... some loophole in the credit agreement.

 

He has had the cards for several years and has over 10k balance on them, can he really get this debt eliminated? what are the repercussions? eg. credit rating etc...

 

Surely even if there is a loophole the creditcard company can still chase him for the money he has spent on their cards?

1. Is it possible to claim back money on an old credit card? I have a few old cards (10/12 years old) which I paid back in full last year.

 

No, as there is no obligation to supply the original agreement under the CCA where there is no outstanding balance.

 

2. Whats stop someone with an old credit card and with a zero balance creating new debt and then applying for it to be written off as unenforceable.

 

The law changed in April 2007, meaning agreements can be enforced by the Court without complying with the strict requirements of the 1974 Act, as they had to before that date.

Hi

I have just psoted this on the section 18 thread no takers yet so, i thought i would let you lot get a dig in:)

 

Couldnt this refer to a ppi policy on a credit card agreement?

 

 

12© an unrestricted -use credit agreement which is made by the creditor under

pre-existing arrangements between himself and a person (the “supplier”)

other than the debtor in the knowledge that the credit is to be used to

finance a transaction between the debtor and the supplier.

 

 

If it does it makes it unrestricted d-c-s the same as the primary accouunt not a seperate agrement at all .

 

Well i think section 12 does indeed apply to ppi, and i think that ppi is in fact unrestricted in credit cards and i think that all the casses that have gone to court are where the principle was restriced, and in the case of a credit card the principle is unrestricted so any transaction that does not invovle the forwarding of the orriginal loan would also be unrestricted, if it was not it wouldn't be in the total crdit at all but in the total charge for credit.

 

What do ya think

 

Go on let me have it
