    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • 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.

Lloyds TSB/Moorcroft/Midas - now cabot

Hello all,

 

I would like to ask for some advice.

With CAG's help I have been trying to sort out my mum's finance situation recently

 

today she sent me a copy of a Litigation Warning letter from Midas Credit Services that she received.

I told her to ignore it as it uses terms like "possible further action" etc etc.

 

The reason for the letter is that my mum has apparently failed to reach a repayment agreement with Moorcroft Debt Recovery;

however my mum had a payment plan in place with Lloyds for £1 a month with a paying in book.

 

This was arranged after months of threats and harrassment by Lloyds prompted her to go to the CAB where a very knowledgeable man helped her sort out a new bank account and got Lloyds to stop adding interest to the amount.

 

She took the loan out over the phone in 2006 and was told she would only be accepted if she took out PPI as well.

The repayments were over £200 a month but 3 months later she lost her job, the insurance paid out for 1 month after which she turned 65 and was told the insurance no longer covered her!! (This alone makes me pretty angry :-x)

 

My mum continued paying the installments, INCLUDING the PPI premium, for X amount of months until she rang them and asked if the PPI amount could be deducted off what she owed.

I assume they then cancelled the PPI.

 

After a few years of payments my mum then owed MORE than the original amount. ;

She was also advised to take out a Gold(?) account with Lloyds as she would be able to get a credit card.

She is currently in debt to Lloyds with all 3,

2 are with Apex Credit Management (she is paying a set amount off per month) and

the loan is with Moorcroft.

 

Moorcroft rang her after acquiring the debt and said £1 a month wasn't enough and that she should pay more..

she went to CAB and unfortunately the first man had transferred to another branch so she's been dealing with a less clued-up guy that she has to chase all the time.

 

He sent Moorcroft a letter saying all correspondence should be through CAB and offering £10 a month payments.

My mum told Moorcroft that she would only deal with them through CAB but they wrote to her saying they've had no letters from CAB and they want their money!

 

Sorry for the long essay but I'm trying to get all the details in (to the best of my knowledge) to avoid confusion.

 

So here are my questions:

1. Can Moorcroft demand extra payments and if not is there a complaints procedure regarding this?

 

2. Is it worth requesting a CCA, my mum is not disputing the debt but we really have no idea how much she's paid off and whether any fees have been added by Moorcroft or Lloyds

 

3. PPI complaints;

I think it's worth doing this as she was blatantly mis-sold this, especially as it didn't cover her only 5 months into the start date!!

However will requesting a CCA interfere with this, should one be sent in before the other?

 

4. Can previous interest accrued on the loan be written off as well as fees?

If we get the PPI refunded and work out that my mum has made payments totalling, say, half the original amount, would it be fair to say she will only pay off the remaining half and not the interest too?

 

My mum thinks that the debt was sold on because she missed a couple of payments and then paid twice the amount the following month.

She was told afterwards that this only proved to them that she could afford to make bigger payments :|

 

I have been with Lloyds TSB since I was born; my mum opened a savings account for me and my brother and I stayed with them ever since but after the way they've treated my mum I've moved to Santander :mad2:.

 

I would really appreciate any help on this!

Thank you for the reply; an SAR is a new one on me!!

I have now read a bit about them,

I believe they can take 40 days?

 

Should a PPI claim be put in at the same time as well?

I was thinking of the CCA because if it turns out as not being enforceable in court then it would put my mum's mind at rest over these litigation letters.

Although I have seen a few people effectively put in 'limbo'after being told the DCA requires more time to get the information from the original creditor.

 

Should she make the payments to Lloyds?

She hasn't paid anything for the past few months because Moorcroft didn't send a direct debit mandate or any means of payment.

 

I've told her not to phone Moorcroft under any circumstances!

I may get her the telephone recording gadget just in case,

my mum still finds it hard to believe that companies will lie over the phone...

I'm also trying to press on her the importance of sending everything Signed For.

I would carry on paying LTSB - but only what your mother can afford - ie £1. would send a CCA request to Moorcroft now and at the same time SAR LTSB. Both letters in library

 

Never pay by direct debit - I have been paying LTSB cash over the counter and have ignored Moorcrap - now seen them off got the next DCA on my back.

Hi huppe

 

Send the SAR first, Template in the library. Get all the PPI charges on a spreadsheet, workout how much interest they owe you. Then put the claim in. Send a

CCA request, they have 14 days to respond, if they fail to do so, put the account into dispute. Don't set up a DD as stated earlier, you have no control on the amount taken. The SAR data that comes back will answer a lot of questions.

OK thank you I will send the SAR first and see what they come back with.

 

Do I need the first one on the list (for debt and DCA) or the second ( to reclaim penalty charges on credit cards/loans and PPI)?

I think the second as it mentions going into a local branch if necessary but I just want to make sure.

Will get it posted tomorrow!!

 

I'm dying to send a CCA too but I will hold off for now.

Should my mum ignore Moorcroft for the time being?

I will tell her to start paying Lloyds direct again.

 

Is it best to send a PO or a cheque?

I read a PO was better but read somewhere else that there is no record if these are cashed or not.

Always safest to send a postal order. Lloyds probably wouldn't misuse the bank account details gleaned from a cheque but they might be tempted to do so if it's an account with one of their group companies.

 

Under no circumstances giver bank or card details to Moorcroft or any DCA. They simply cannot be trusted.

Is it ok to leave the bit in about Lloyd's wrongdoing and mishandling of the account?

Seems a bit rude, or am I being old fashioned!

 

Will get this sent tomorrow and keep you updated.

Probably best to put it in writing to CAB that we'll be dealing with this on our own from now on too.

 

EDIT

My mum received another litigation letter this morning from Midas; should we just ignore them?

I googled Moorcroft/Midas and came across a website which recommends creating a tacit agreement with 3 template letters, or a Copyright & Trademark Procedure.

I can't find any info on CAG about this.

It seems to be a way of charging fees to the DCA's presumably in the hope that they'll go away.

Would you recommend this approach in tandem with the SAR request?

Oh dear,

I've just found out that my mum was originally paying £1/month for the other 2 accounts but Apex insisted she pay more.

She has already signed a direct debate mandate for £10/month for each account.

A payment went in late and they said she was in default so had to pay the full amount back.

 

she went to CAB and they added up her outgoings,

she said she could afford £20/month if she stopped paying for her alopecia medication

CAB wrote to Apex offering to pay £20 and they accepted.

 

Surely she shouldn't have do this?

Can we get the direct debit stopped and carry on with £1 payments?

 

She hasn't checked her CRA file, is that the one with Experian?

I will sort out Experian for her,

just asked her about paying lloyds direct and she said she went to pay in at a branch before and was told there was no such account number.

The girl behind the counter rang head office and was told Apex were dealing with it now and that my mum should have received direct debit mandates to fill in.

We could cancel the new direct debit amount and re-start the £1 ones?

if its lloyds do it be internet banking

NEVER EVER set up a DD to a DCA.

 

just vary the terms of the existing ones to £1 via internet banking

 

or better cancel them all.

 

do it via BACS on the internet banking site.

Stop all DD payments now.

If LTSB won't accept payemts then stop paying.

If they still own the debt then they should accept your attempts to pay.

 

just to make it clear you should never, ever set up a DD to pay these people.

 

The DD can be abused by DCAs - I personally only pay cash in at a branch.

Had a reply from Lloyds thanking us for the PO but saying that to satisfy their verification procedures the letter we sent should have been signed by hand.

We can have the info sent to a local branch if we don't want to give a signature but need to send another form to them stating this

(along with whether we want info on all the accounts including bank statements or "just the accounts quoted in your original letter").

 

Surely the letter we sent was pretty clear about us wanting ALL the information that they hold?!

Is this just a stalling tactic?

They say if they don't hear back within a month they will close the file!

Happy Christmas everybody! :cheer2:

 

We sent the letter back to Lloyds requesting the info be sent to a local branch.

Got a proof of posting but didn't send it recorded as the letter came with a pre-paid envelope.

Still waiting for the info to be delivered.

 

I have helped her get a copy of her credit report

of the 15 or so credit agreements on there,

there are 3 Defaulted agreements all with Lloyds.

 

The credit card, loan and current account.

Can anyone advise me where to go from here?

I hate all this waiting for Lloyds :sad:

stick with £1pcm via internet banking

await 40 days for the sar

 

i would strongly advise she opens another bank account with a diff group

for her income

 

lloyds are sadly very well known for dipping their off-set fingers into account with money

to pay themselves on account with missed payments.

 

what are the other 12 accounts not more stuff shes paying i hope

Thank you for the reply :)

 

I was quite surprised actually, apart from the 3 defaults the rest are either green and "settled" or green and "up to date".

There are some catalogue accounts, mobile phone contracts from years ago and current accounts with different banks.

 

Also a previously loan from Lloyds.

I noticed that the Lloyds credit card is listed twice but with slightly different amounts,

one classed as settled and the other as defaulted.

Both have the same start date.

Weird!

this is looking more and more like a cash cow situation.

 

the catalogue accounts are prob littered with £12 fees

 

dont forget you can reclaim all unlawful fees & of course mis-sold PPI
