      At the mediation stage for purchased debt - should I mediate if my position is they dont have legal right to claim?

      By nat8808 · Posted

      Hi all,        I really need to start my own thread on this Claim with Overdales/Lowell for a Cap One debt. but have already got to this stage .. My initial question for the moment - until replies come in - is that I figure my main stance is that a purchased debt cannot be claimed, debts can only be claimed by the original issuer of the debt .. but mediation is about coming to an agreement. So would I be acting in bad faith if I enter into mediation yet not seeking to come to a financial agreement? Also, I need to reject the scheduled time slot and ask for another as I'm not going to be free during those hours. The wording of the email gives the impression that I am given this one slot and if I reject it, then I am rejecting mediation - there is no mention of rescheduling, only of freeing up the slot for others .. although, I would have thought it would say so, if there were no possibility to reschedule.. Can I ask for another date without issue?   Anyway, if it's more helpful, I am happy to post up my defence and start a proper thread? I had a lot on at the time and had to do things right away due to the time limits, so didn't feel I had time to come here and go back and forth for info, so put my defence together from reading through relevant threads, late at night. CCA request appears to have been fulfilled (I'm still to check the accuracy of the documents). The other thing, asking solicitors about the particulars of the claim, hasn't .. although I forgot to ask for proof of postage and didn't send recorded post either (whereas the CCA I did), so not sure if I can pursue that easily ..?

      Poor cleanliness and condition of rental property

      By snappyturtle14 · Posted

      Looking for a bit of assistance. I moved into a rented flat on 20th April 2024. I viewed it on the 14th April. Before I moved into the flat, the letting agency provided me with an offer sheet, in said offer sheet I made a number of requests and conditions related to me progressing with assuming the tenancy. These were: 1. A professional clean of the flat prior to move in date. 2. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet be replaced prior to move in date. These were all planned actions by the landlord when I viewed it. I could see the boxes for the hob and other items in the flat. I prepared to move in on the 20th April but none of the work mentioned in the offer sheet had been completed. The standard of the clean was abysmal - mouldy food left in the fridge, nothing wiped down, bathroom mouldy etc. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were also not installed. I decided to not officially move into the flat as it was not in a condition as promised, my partner lives relatively close by so I lived with her initially. It was only on the 24th April that the hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were installed. The cleaners visited again 2 weeks after move in date (3rd April) and attempted another clean of the flat. Again, it was a poor job. I resorted to cleaning the flat myself. I have numerous pictures of the things I identified during my clean and have sent this all to the letting agency. Because of the issues faced, I asked the letting agency that the rent be reduced for the initial month. Exactly halved - to represent the 2 weeks that I was not living at the property. The landlord and letting agency have responded by saying that they will be willing to accept 1 weeks rent as a deduction but not 2. My question is, am I in a strong position to insist on the 2 weeks rent returned or have I been fortunate that they have even offered a weeks rent as a deduction? I would like to insist on the 2 weeks. I have paid the 2 weeks only as my rent collection date passed 2 days ago. Thank you for any assistance. Any further relevant details required let me know and I will provide.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Not a clue, sorry, don't even know who these people are. I had credit cards in the past and the smallest was for £800 if memory serves me. It could be that, but none of these names make any sense to me.

Hi All,

Looking for a little help and advice if poss.

My wife has a credit card with Nat West and at present it stands at its £2000 credit limit and has done for the past two years or so!

Every month she pays the minimum off of around £80 but this is obviously no beneift as its only the interest, doesn't bring the balance down and she never even uses the card, so we were wondering if there was a template letter or something we can do to put a stop on the card, cease paying interest on the card and just pay a set monthly fee back to pay off the debt.

We're not trying to run away from paying it, only looking to pay a smaller rate and actually pay something off!!

For the amount of time she has been paying this £80 a month, she could of probably paid it off by now, but still owe's the same £2k!

Seems crazy.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help, it is appreciated

Hoping this is easier to read, if not i can go bigger.

 

It looks to me as though all the prescribed terms are there and so the agreement is more than likely to be valid and enforceable.

 

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

 

Mind you, if it really is that hard to read you might have a case under the 'copies of documents' regulations, section 2(1) - legibility? A long shot but you might consider it.

Sadly, I have to agree with Number 6. Provided this is a true copy of the agreement, it does contain the prescribed terms.

 

There may still be other lines of attack, though:

 

Are there any charges or PPI to deduct?

 

Has the Amazing MBNA Interest Rate Trick been performed on your account?

 

Have they served a Default Notice yet (which they might have got wrong)?

As Underdog said the original credit limit that was issued with the card could be very important... have a read of this post onwards:)

Erm .. could you elaborate on this please?

 

My MBNA Card says it is charging 2.53% per month. Which equates to nearly 35% APR :eek::eek::eek:

In that case, it has.

 

What I call the Amazing MBNA Interest Rate Trick is a bit like the Indian Rope Trick but it involves an interest rate shooting up into the air without any visible means of support rather than a rope.

 

There are arguments (I won't put it any higher than that) that this can be challenged under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regs (a price variation clause not being a core term of the contract and so subject to the fairness test) and the Unfair Relationships provisions in sections 140A-140D of the Consumer Credit Act.

I really can't understand how they can enter a moral judgement if they have a specific set of laws to follow.

 

Am I missing something very obvious?

 

Lexis:)

 

Possibly .. some may call it humility, others would call it BS, but the fact remains the judge is boss and you always tug your forelock to the boss !! :rolleyes:

Thx car and viscount ... I had almost come to the same conclusion. Plus of course you don't come over to the judge as some aggressive chancer, you remain the innocent downtrodden debtor fallen on hard times being crushed by the evil conglomerate !!!! ;)

 

Pity I sorta hinted I might take them. Maybe they'll smell blood when I don't, but too late realise it's their own. :cool:

Thanks and forgive my sheepishness, its the first time i have spoken with a Viscount (i used to talk to my chocolate biscuit :D)

 

In answer:

There will certainly be charges to deduct, i am just learning about SAR so watch this space on that score.

MBNA interest rate trick? whats this?!

Default Notice? OH YEAH i am sure they did but probably a year or two ago, several i should think. Unfortunately i don't have records or letters that far back. Only got wise when i found Cag last year!

Hi everyone, hadn't discovered this thread until now. A member told me on another topic that i should paste the alleged 'Agreement' i have recently received from MBNA on this thread for advice on whether its valid and enforceable. So here it is, i am trusting the other member that i am not hijacking this thread by doing this, as i get the impression thats what this thread is here for, but if i am wrong i apologise in advance. Just not sure where i stand with this:

When did you complete this application ?

 

This is nothing like the Platinum application form supplied to me following my CCA request

 

Looks like a typical paste up job to me ...font size ..lining up etc

What does it say at the bottom left of the terms column?

Well spotted indeed. Thanks Summerbreeze, i hadn't read this until i heard from you on another thread i was asking for advice on. I really thought this was going to be enforceable but the more we look the more we find it appears! Regarding the number bottom left, if you can assure me its not a unique number which will allow the men in black to find out who i am (not that i should give a monkey's bottom anyway, an unenforceable debt is just that!) but i would rather PM it to you so will do that unless you think its safe to post here/

Basa asked the same question and I muddled that with yours. Basa's interest had been hiked to 34.9% APR - I suspect yours will be at the same level, in which case the answer I gave then applies to you too:

As for the DN, you may well have received one but you may also have received such curious non-statutory documents such as Important Default Notifications and Creditor's Notices.

 

You may want to ask for a copy of any DN and proof of service when the time comes.
