    • 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 ..?  
    • 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.

    • 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.

no to be honest they accepted my £85 quite easily and when i was chatting with a friend at work

he said that the original CCJ doesnt show up because I agreed to pay it.

so they didnt like, enforce it or whatever.

 

So I never bothered with the SAR. Wish I did, was just reading that other welcome thread where it took the op months and then they only sent statements.

 

They havent sent anything to my old house. Its my parents, so I'm there all the time picking up mail as I havent changed address for my bank cards etc.

 

 

Really screwed me careerwise tho...

I was just about to walk into a Managment job finally, now I won't get the licence and probly wont even get offered the job :(

oh yeah of course I just reread thread and I discovered this.

 

So the original was a notcie of attachment of earnings. no doubt for the 5k odd they mention here.

 

And because I've missed payments in dec/jan (??) they have send it through for collection ? Even though I missed loads of payments between...

 

I'm just in the process of writing the CAPS people a very ****ty email that I will probly delete before I send. Surely they would have the sense to check up the balance on 5 year old orders before banging letters out to peoples employers ?

There has to be a judgment in place to enable an Attachment of Earnings Order ( this is the enforcement) .

well i found the old notifice of attachment of earnings thing, and it is the saame amount... can they do that? i would have thought they would at least have to find out what the balance is.

 

deleted images because i messed about with them and it went funny

 

 

I still kinda dont understand though..

 

so they take you to court, get an order (which mean i get a CCJ), then this would be the enforcement of the order?

 

but i never got told i was being taken to court, other than default letters i guess, do they count? but no actual notification.

 

Plus no CCJ showed up on that trust site or any of the CRAs... Maybe it will have now though :( just as it was getting slightly better.

 

 

And i still dont get the letter i got 21/12/11 from legal recoveries & collections LTD which stated:

 

"As you are aware our client obtained Judgement against you on 21/12/11 and the current balance is £1,704.05... (if they obtained judgement that day, how could i be aware?)

 

...You need to contact us to set up and agree a mutually acceptable payment arrangement to discharge the security the client holds on your property, which will remain in place until such time as it has been paid in full."

 

Anyway thanks for your help guys. I dont really know what to do now. I will ring the court I guess and see what they say. I mean surely they at least have to put the correct amount. Especially when they sent it to my damn employer.

 

An order for £900 odd is one thing and my boss would understand what happened, but jesus dropping a bill for five and half grand on his desk doesnt make me look like i can be left in charge of a £100k a night casino ...

Andrew you need to get the paperwork re. the recent claim.

 

If i'm reading this thread correctly either you never had a CCJ before or it was so far back in the past it has dropped off the system.

 

Anyway you only got a CCJ in Dec, this AoE is in relation to that Judgement.

 

Regarding missed payments Dec, Jan & Feb, this is immaterial, think about it for a second. How can they take you to court for payments you have yet to miss.

 

The good news regarding this, is that with the CCJ being very recent and the claimant used the old address trick, you can have this Judgement set aside on mandatory grounds regardless of the merits of your case.

 

But you need to start moving quickly on this, the clock is ticking, the longer you take to apply to set-aside the less chance you have of being successful.

 

Regarding your Job, dont worry about this, I have experience in this area. If you get the set aside granted, you can show them Judgement and tell them it was one big mistake by the claimant.

thanks,

 

i just spoke to the court and the lady was quite helpful. she said i had to write into them stating i dispute it and the reasons etc. and that will buy me time.

 

What makes you say i got the CCJ in december though? the letter about the "obtaining judgement" was 2011 and im preety sure that was before i checked all CRAs and the trust site etc. which all came up with nothing.

 

which paperwork do i need to get? from the court? or do i just write them a letter (i can drop it in by hand today) stating basically everything said here ??

 

 

wow im so confused... thansk you so much for your time everyone

well when i got the letter in dec 2011 i went on their website and did a income expenditure thing and offered them 85£ a month. Paid that up until the 1st of august. then we had to move out quickly, i had no money after deposit rent etc so i contacted them sayin i couldnt pay 1st september, i didnt know what my new living expenses would be but i would make token payments of £20 from 1st october until i sorted out my financial situation.

 

changed banks in dec, they said the would change over DD etc, but it was a SO and just got cancelled and I didnt notice (So much comes out of my bank each month)

Andrew, just clarify to get it set aisde on Mandatory grounds you need to prove the Claimant was aware of your correct address.

 

Secondly, it's probably worth preparing a second line of defence that your dispute is with merit. It not unknown for the other side to argue the judgement shouldn't be set aside because you have no chance of success when the claim is refiled and the judge to side with them even though it should be set-aside on the mandatory grounds.

also, yes i have nver had a CCJ... and as far as Im aware I still dont (althought it is becoming obv i do)

Exact words on letter are "as you are aware our client obtained Judgement against you on 21/12/2012 and the current balance is £1,704.05. Our client's records show the last payment on the account was £105.75 on 04/04/2011. Effective immediately - please stop all payments to Irwin Mitchell."

 

 

According your post, you got a Judgement on the 21/12/12

Thank you all so much for your advice!

 

 

once more thing, do i need to SAR the companies I was paying on behalf of WF somewhere along the line? as im not sure I have evidence of all the payments I made. There are also two payments on one statement I have from WF with £302 of court fees for each, dated 10th and 12th of decembber 2008?? So why wasnt I informed about that?

 

Its all getting very strange
