Asset Link Capital (NO5) Limited   How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to./   14/02/2020   ^^^^^ NOTE : WHEN CALCULATING THE TIMELINE - PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE DATE ON THE CLAIMFORM IS ONE IN THE COUNT [example: Issue date 01.03.2014 + 19 days (5 days for service + 14 days to acknowledge) = 19.03.2014 + 14 days to submit defence = 02.04.2014] = 33 days in total Not relevant as his claim was set aside, and has now been brought to the court again by the claimant       Particulars of Claim   What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? Please see bundle of documents in previous thread   What is the total value of the claim? £10,734.1    Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  Yes - this is one of the grounds for getting it set aside   Did you inform the claimant of your change of address?

Credit Card   When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ?  Apparently 2000   Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? I do not recall entering into an agreement with Barclays   Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?  It was, but it is not anymore   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. Assigned to Asset Link   Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? No - although they have provided a copy of the assignment notice in their bundle of docs for the hearing   Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I don't remember - but again a copy of a letter has been provided (see bundle on previous thread)   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?  2015   What was the date of your last payment? December 2015   Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved?  I wrote to Barclaycard back in 2015 to ask them to send proof of the original agreement but they just sent me a reconstituted document which had no personal deals on relating to me   Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? yes - step change took control and set up payments of £1 pm
    • I have had no such luck getting the tickets cancelled. So more help would be greatly appreciated. I have debt recovery letters now. I guess I ignore these and only respond when there is court proceedings?
    • On MCOL there are 2 times the case stay is lifted. Once between filing the defence and them submitting a DQ, and then again between them submitting the DQ and the court issuing one to the defendant.   Is that normal or is there anything I should be aware of?   Thanks as always 
    • It's difficult to advise what to do because there are so many ifs and buts. In the majority of cases where a PPC start a court claim they go all the way to the final hearing. However, in a minority of cases, and by no means a tiny minority, they have no real intention of going all the way to a final hearing. They know their case is rubbish and they know it will cost them a hefty wad to send a solicitor to court (remember solicitors' costs are capped at £50 at small claims).  They pretend they are going all the way to court to intimidate the motorist into giving in.  Yes, the pretence often includes paying the hearing fee.  Yes, UKPC often do this.  And no, they haven't produced a WS (so far). I suppose it depends on how much you have spent on flights (and accommodation?) and if this is refundable v the approx £250 at stake if you lose the case.

    • 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.

Just an update on this.

It certainly is - like most banks actually. I gather they are now avoiding the issue of a DPA request and saying that they will simply provide statements.

 

Whilst this will certainly get you the info you need, be sure that they return the £10 fee if this is what they tell you - they can't have it both ways!

Only the ones claiming contractual interest would include it now, others may have done so by mistake.

Alun,

 

Resist the temptation to get in for the kill. Follow the process to the letter and you WILL get your money.

 

If you do not give them long enough to settle the matter before court you will be viewed as vexatious and unreasonable by the court and it may cause you problems.

 

Stick with it my friend.

help.

 

received a responce today (14th day cuting it fine)

 

no refund offer however let me type out the 4th paragraph.

 

HBOS Disagreeswith the legal analysis of default fees outlined in the OFT's Statement published in April. However, the group confirmed 2nd June 2006 that it will be reducing default fees across its credit card product range to £12 with effect from 1st August 2006

And until that date, all existing terms and conditions will apply.At present the findings only apply to credit cards, So unfortunatley, no refund of charges is due to you.

 

this was signed by Liam Pollitt customer care manager.

 

What do I do now? caus i've read some people are getting offers but i got this?

 

Any help would be greatly appresiated.

 

Thanks

A very slight tweak:

 

HBOS plc

Trinity Road

Halifax

If only because the Courts prefer not to use P.O. boxes - apparently the Bailiff's have a hell of a job fitting themselves through the slot :D

14 come and gone and nothing received from the halifax apart from a telephone call from a snotty customer service person.

 

giving me a lecture on how I should keep my account in order blah blah blah.

 

I'm overdrawn at the bank and she asked when I can pay it back. I said that once I am refunded the account will be clear and I will close it leaving everything square.

 

She kept going on about T&C's and I knew the charges when i opened the account. and when I said that It will all be paid off when the refund goes through she said am i refusing to pay it? i replied with no i'm not refusing I will pay it when I am refunded.

 

I'm at the mcol stage now. Help! need some advise.

Don't worry Alun - everything is going to schedule.

 

Take your time filling out the MCOL. It is fairly self-explanatory and saves the information you have entered in case you need to go back to it. Help with the particulars of claim is in the template section somewhere. The only bit which is difficult with MCOL is making sure the system accepts this (the particulars of claim) as it doesn't like punctuation so, it might take you a few goes to get it to accept it.

 

When you have filed you will be able to keep an eye on progress through the MCOL website. Just to give you an idea, I filed on a Monday and had it acknowledged on the Thursday - on the same day I had a letter offering full settlement.

 

Not long now- I know it is stressful but, it is your money and it is worth it!

Just preparing myself to fill in the forms on mcol. However when revisiting my statements to make sure I got all the charges I noticed lines with Interest as Notified. this must be for being over my limit. can I include this in my schedule even if I didn't include these with the prelim or the LBA?

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

Only if the interest you claim was caused by charges. Standard overdraft interest is not reclaimable.

It depends.

 

If you have an overdraft arrangement with the bank then part of the "interest as notified" is made up of interest charged on the overdraft.

 

It is possible to work it out but it's very time consuming and you need to balance if the extra money gained is worth the hassle.

 

Vampiress has a spreadsheet in her "chambers".

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/6964-spreadsheet-interest.html?highlight=spreadsheet#post49061

 

On the other hand, if you had no overdraft facility at all then it could be suggested that all of the interest charged is due to bank charges so would be worth including.

You Guys are great. Many Thanks for the wonderfull advise you've given. The amount of interest isn't worth the hasstle.

 

I got my first offer but not off the halifax it was off capital one for my credit card. Offered me 47 quid from a claim of 120. what they did was refuind every charge over £12 so that all charges amounted to £12 each. Have been putting off filling the mcol as i was a bit skint but got the money today so tonight is the night I will be doing my first MCOL :o) can't wait, it's all filled in and saved just need to pay for it.
