    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

Update:

 

Well I still havent heard from the Halifax... no standard letter, no nothing. I sent my letter by special delivery, so I know they have received it. Monday is their deadline day, (It's now Friday) so I dont think I'll be hearing anything.

 

I'm going to send my second letter first thing Monday morning. and see what happens then.

Received a standard letter this morning (Saturday), which is good as I now know they have received my preliminary letter.

 

Dear Miss XXXXX

 

Thank you for your recent letter. I was sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the charges applied to your account.

 

We are keen to deal with your concerns and are currently investigating your complaint. You will receive our full response shortly.

 

I enclose our complaints leaflet, which explains how we will deal with your complaint. If you need to speak to us about your complaint in the meantime, please call us on 0141 204 6451.

 

This is from Tracy Hopkinson, customer services... and a Leeds address. Am I right in thinking I should send my 'Letter before action' to this new address?

 

Thanks for your help, people.

 

Also, is it possible for the name of this thread to be changed to CunnyFunt Vs Halifax? Cheers.

I'm not sure what address you should use, or have been using...!

 

I'd be inclined (if it was me) to send it to Trinity Road, and to my local branch. HOWEVER, as she says that it is being dealt with, it'd be an idea to AT LEAST cc the letter to her address.

 

Be sure to stick to YOUR deadlines. You call the shots, not Halifax!

 

Send the Letter Before Action when your deadline expires.

 

Good luck, keep us posted.

Hey Monkey,

 

Thanks very much for changing the title!

 

I sent my first letter to the Trinity Road address... so maybe, like you say, sending one to each address is a good idea.

 

Thanks for your help. =o)

LOL...Bankfodder asked me to change it, so being a good forum member, I obliged.

 

Ok, so today I received a goodwill gesture of £56... I'm going to write them back and decline their offer... or should I just file my claim on the 15th day? Hhmm.

 

 

EDIT: There is a number on the letter and it says 'If you would like to discuss your concerns, please contact me'. I really want to call them, but I'm not very good in these situations... can anyone please give me some advice on what I should say? Cheers for any input.

So, I decided to call the Halifax and decline their offer. The woman I spoke to said that she feels the £56 was a fair offer (?!?!) and she said I wont be getting another offer. She's taken my number down anyway, so I wonder now if I'll get another call. I told her that I will be filing a claim on the 26th April anyway.

There's somethin I'm a little confused about, and was wondering if someone could please advise. I'm not certain if I put the interest charges onto the excel spreadsheet.

 

Could someone please confirm? Cheers.

Sorry for being lazy, I haven't read the whole thread yet.....

 

If you are ready to claim through court, then that is the time to prepare the interest on each charge (the 8% version).

 

Is that what you are referring to?

 

Or do you want to know how to input them?

Thanks just for replying! lol

 

I understand that when I submit my claim with Moneyclaim I can add 8% interest. When I add my charges to the spreadsheet... do I include the intested that Ive incurred on these charges?

 

Again, thanks for your reply!

It is my understanding that if you put the 8% on everything (excluding costs) then you are effectively asking for interest on interest. Because of this, you put the daily interest from date of claim until settlement ONLY on the charges total.

 

Perhaps a point that could be clarified in the FAQ section.

OK, I think you are getting more and more confused.

 

At court stage, for example purposes only, your charges amount to £2000

 

When you input the charges into the spreadsheet (or online calculator) the 8% total interest is £600

 

Your claim is for £2600 (plus court costs)

 

The daily rate of interest from the date you issue it, until they pay up, will be 8% on the £2000 only, otherwise you are adding interest to interest.

 

The calculation for this is 0.00022 X the amount of your claim

 

Thus - 0.00022 X 2000 which would equal £0.44p PER DAY

Flippin' heck, Jonni, you've been doin' a lot of reading haven't you?

 

Dowie - If it were me, I wouldn't even give them the time of day on the phone. I would much sooner write to them - that way I can think about what I want to say.

 

I rejected my 1st offer of £380 in writing and received a higher offer a few days later (ha ha). Also, if you keep everything in writing, and it goes to court - you have written proof.

 

Best of luck mate, and may the best man win! (Except I'm a lady!)

No, thats not what I mean, at all.

 

I completely understand the 8% interest thing.

 

What I'm talking about is the interest on my bank statements for charges I've incurred.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hey C&S!

 

Glad you found me. You're probably right with the not calling them thing, but hey-ho too late now... I'm just wondering now if I'll hear from them again before Wednesday.

 

And good luck to you too, my friend. :)

..What I'm talking about is the interest on my bank statements for charges I've incurred....

 

In that case........

 

You can claim for the interest that the bank applied to your account solely due to the charges, i.e. NOT for general interest which occured simply because you had gone overdrawn.

 

This, in my book anyway, is more complicated to work out because you should ideally know what APR they charged you for general overdraft rates and for 'over limit' rates - unless, of course, you are one of the 'lucky' ones whose statements break this figure down for you.

 

It can also be argued that by not claiming this (possibly much smaller) figure, that you are allowing the bank an amount you consider IS proportionate to the costs it incurred dealing with your failed Direct Debit / Cheque etc etc.

If you had to face the enemy in court, you would at least have an arguement to show you have allowed for actual cost. Remember though, you do not have to give them it.....

 

Another train of thought on this subject is as follows - If the interest is not itemised, then claim for ‘Interest Charges,’ and the onus will be on the bank to demonstrate the proportion they are entitled to.

 

The choice is yours........

Hey again!

 

Well I have the interest charged, for unpaid DDs on my statements, so I know how much they owe me. Thanks so much for explaining this.

 

Well I'll be filing with Moneyclaim on Wednesday 26th, so I'm going to read up on that again now.

 

This is where it either gets scary, or exciting... I haven't worked out which one yet though :)
