    • Other case law relied upon " On other record of reasons "
    • Page 2 – document 10 and 11 – you should include the fact that it is a Law reform commission report. Best to give it its full name if you can I suggest that you move paragraph 10 up to the first position – paragraph 5 and move everything down. I think other than that – it is good to go. I suggest you don't bother to do any more drafts. Simply rearrange the paragraphs as I suggested above then the title of the documents that you are relying on in the index page. Send it off and post your final version here so that everybody can see. I'm sorry about the delay. Thanks for reminding me
    • I have recently found myself in financial difficulties and with the help of forum members in another thread regarding this, I think I can get myself sorted. My query here is how to deal with a Cifas marker that has been logged against me by one of my creditors for "evasion of payment". Admittedly yes I did get a £5000 loan with them and have not paid any payment but at the start of the year, which is when the loan landed, I realised I was going to be struggling to repay that and other debts and I contacted MCB to ask if there was any way I could extend the loan from 24 months to 36 months. I explained my situation and that I was going with a DMP and asked them if they could help me with this. They did not reply. I then emailed them again a month later explaining that my DMP was going ahead and could they confirm that the direct debit was indeed cancelled. Again, they did not reply. The DMP fell apart and so did everything else thereafter. My bank withdrew my overdraft and said I could not stay with them (I thought initially that it was because of the DMP) so I opened another account (Starling) and set up all my direct debits etc with the new bank. A month into being with the new bank, they contacted me and said they were closing my account in three months. So I started applying for other basic accounts and every single one of them either refused or revoked.  Through the help in the other thread, I requested a SAR from Cifas and discovered that I have this marker against my name for "evasion of payment". I have logged a complaint with MCB on the advice of other forum members, but my query really is do you think the marker is fair given that I did ask them for help and I did explain that I was going to be struggling financially to repay the loan over the original two years, and is there any way that I can get it removed? I fully admit that I have yet to make a payment to them and I suppose in my naivety and panic I thought if I emailed them early on they could extend the loan and help me out, but they didn't even reply  I did manage to open an account with Monzo before the marker was in place, but I am very concerned that if Monzo do what Starling did, I will have no bank account to pay my bills or get my wages paid into.  Realistically based on the information I have given here, what do you think my chances are of getting this marker removed? Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated x
    • Thank you dx, that is what I intend to do now. I have gone through all the SAR documents, a lot of which I am seeing for the first time! As per my previous post #116 letters and statements alleged to have been sent to me, as recorded on their system notes I have not received. Letters I have sent requesting information and account statements have not been recorded as being received by them, all were sent either by Recorded or Special Delivery. I have all the proof you menrtioned from my files for payments and from their SAR info for fees added. Thanks t
    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.

    • 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.

Hi Happy New Year and Welcome to CAG..

I would check your credit reference files before taking

any action, then you can be sure of all the dates.

It seems that you are getting all mail forwarded to your

new address correct??

Once you get your credit report then I would send

the ''prove it'' letter from the CAG library as from what

you you have not received a notice of assignment

of the debt to BCW regarding the transfer from HSBC.

hi happy new year and thanks for your response

 

i got my report about a year ago the date of default was a month after my last payment, im still in england at the moment but i am moving in april its only untill start of 2013 but should be safe by then. BCW letter says they have been asked on behalf of Activ kapital. i moved not long after my last payment i have lived here for nearly 5 years and this is the first contact. do you think i should send the prove it letter now or wait for more letters and stall for time? can they obtain a ccj without giving me a writen warning first?

No CCJ without warning but it seems far

from this at the moment, check those credit

files asap, do nothing until you get them.

You say 5 1/2 years since last payment. Have you claimed charges since then as that would also be seen as acknowledging the debt and would extend the SB date.

 

Is that correct? Not doubting you but I would have thought reclaiming charges would be a separate issue as you’re not acknowledging any outstanding amount only reclaiming back the unlawful amount that should never have been applied in the first place.

It's a technicallity if you ''ASKED''

for information on reclaiming charges

and that is all no restart.

Im thinking I should just ignoring them, i've been reading other peoples threads and from what I understand these companies buy old debts and write in hope of a response, and if you ignore their letters they sell it on again. Is that right? I only need to hold them off till april.

I'll agree with you, Brig.

 

Out of curiosity, and for no other reason, I sent for my files from Experian, Equifax, and Call Credit, over the Christmas and New Year period.

 

I've never seen a credit file before, and I knew in advance that there wouldn't be anything on them, except for my personal data.

 

That proved to be true, except that Call Credit have listed my 5 bank accounts, [i have six], and they have included the last four digits of the plastic cards that, supposedly, go with them.

 

Only one of the cards has a number that I recognise - the rest are meaningless rubbish - they aren't even old card numbers, that have been replaced.

 

Which does make me wonder, how many other peoples' files are innacurate?

All of these are on behalf of a friend.. Cabot - [There's no CCA!]

CapQuest - [There's no CCA!]

Barclays - Zinc, [There's no CCA!]

Interesting as I wonder if this was ever properly assigned?

 

If you account was closed (your bank had a 'flounce' because you asked for charges) then I'll bet they did not follow through correctly, not only that but the effectively cut themselves off from receiving payment and sold it illegally! :wink:

 

I'd send the 'prove it' letter then a CCA the the DCA and SAR to the bank, then you will know what they have as ammunition, normally I do this as slow as possible as the SB clock is running, but as your moving why take the risk....
