    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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 because they receive funding doesn't mean that they work on 'behalf' of the creditors. This is a common ploy used by fee-charging DMP firms to try and get business. Most creditors are MUCH more receptive to affordable arrangements via one of the free DMP firms compared to the commercial sector.

 

Anyhows, we digress. Shywazz, Peer will be able to help you - I can assure you of that.

 

WARNING: Just becuz a company like cccs claim they work on behalf of the client does not mean its true.I had been a client of CCCS for a long time.They need you to make their money.Like any money making business, they tell you what you want to hear to get you to sign a contract or agreement with them, and will alter it according to their needs or the story they are telling you at the time, telling you you have not signed a contract or an agreement but an understanding between you that you will in effect jump to their tune.They actually claim they work in your behalf to negotiate with creditors,in fact they wont even talk to a creditor unless it is to pay them ..something.. their aim is to make money from your payments in interest,and they will in effect more or less impress tehy dont have to honour the agreement by telling you to do their job by you negotiating with your own creditors,which is in essence the same as an informal agreement were you agree to do your own legwork in this case CCCS get money from your payments were in an informal agreement noone gets anything except your creditor.

CCCS are indeed funded by voluntary donations by businesses..which means a creditor can be a donator if they wish,and which could also mean they recieve special treatment from CCCS.There is some discussion on whether CCCS should have their credit licence revoked...with the OFT.But as of yet they seem to be getting away with their behaviour.I have found them ..not all of them but some abusive, threatening and they use blacmail im some cases to force a client to pay debts that are not even proved theirs.i am one such victim.In some cases they also accept any debt from any company who contact them and claim the client owes them money and do not bother to get proof they take it as gospel.I am at the moment fighting CCCS as i have been able to establish a court ordered debt may have been fabricated by the creditor and debt may not been mine and yet CCCS have told me it does not matter if its legal I WILL pay it or else!..CCCS at present are not interested if this is a real debt or not CCCS may work for a lot of people, in many cases and many others they work for the best interests of the creditor,and will use like any debt collection agency any measures to terrifiy you into making their life easy by paying debts and amounts that they dont even have proof for.I would say be very aware of this company and be aware they like any other company anywhere do not employ honest people who always tell the truth and are necessarily working in your behalf.Plz be aware they will support creditors in many cases if they bring false debts against you and will not even check with a court in some cases whether you have anything agaisnt you...the word of the creditor that you owe money is considered more than enough proof to get money out of you through CCCS.

WARNING: Just becuz a company like cccs claim they work on behalf of the client does not mean its true.

We will have to agree to disagree there

I had been a client of CCCS for a long time.They need you to make their money.Like any money making business, they tell you what you want to hear to get you to sign a contract or agreement with them

If we're talking DMPs there isn't really much of a contract at all - you're welcome to leave whenever you like.

They actually claim they work in your behalf to negotiate with creditors,in fact they wont even talk to a creditor unless it is to pay them ..something..

That's not the experience many others have had.

 

Sorry to learn of your concerns but as a whole they seem to be doing a very reasonable job for many, many people - which is probably why they are the biggest debt advice charity in the UK.

  • 2 weeks later...

A company that claim you owe them debt does not have to have proof of or produce a copy of a credit agreement to say you owe them money...and they cannot be prosecuted or be brought to justice for it ..unless apparently an ombudsman wants to get them brought to justice.Although they are no ombudsmans who can actually do this i find this odd.Ive talked to the OFT...Trading standards..consumer direct... the financial ombudsman...debline...cccs..the fsa and many others all of them claim they dont deal with these issues and dont know of any ombudsman which governs such a thing.Which means basically you are up s*** creek without a paddle...and you cannot stop these companies doing this to people.

The law claims through the consumer credit act of 1974 its a criminal offence etc not to produce a credit agreement when in fact it isnt an offence, wonder who wrote those laws?.. ..they can refuse to provide a credit agreement or any proof you owe them money..because you cant contest it.Unfortuantely almost any company can say you owe them money..and dont have to provide any proof..which certainly is unfair...as i feel they should by law have to have proof you owe a debt, as anyone could make up a story you do and force you to pay it.

 

 

EDIT: sudden realisation that i now need to CCA the debt collection agency - i wish i thought first before posting :roll:

I am in a similar situation, unfortuantely you cant prove a thing.Its not against the law not to produce proof you owe them money or to produce a copy of any of the credit agreements, unfortunately debt management companies are powerless and dmc only do informal agreements which means the company have no legal requirement to accept the repayments, the company can anytime refuse payments through a debt management company and get a ccj against you and again a dmc cannot do anything to except offer payments..they cannot negotiate and often will not.. with creditors and sort out things if you get a ccj thats up to you to figure out on your own...even though you are paying your debts and aknowledge them you can still get done by a court...as merely paying your debts is not enough.. Which is why many ppl get ccjs because they dont know the law and a dmc are not legally trained they just employ general advisory staff who often dont understand or have never dealt with ccjs.Whatever debt this company say you owe or whatever agreements they say you have signed you have to comply with or without proof from the company because the law does not say they have to produce the proof.Its your word against theres.

 

 

 

bluespiderman;3725067]I've studied the SAR info further and it looks as if the following has occurred:-

 

The original loan was taken out in 2002. My wife (well, she is now) could not afford to continue paying the debt as she went back into full time education following redundancy. A 'rescue package' was agreed which is the second loan issued in 2003. The interest was in effect frozen (well it was lowered drastically to 1%) and lower payments agreed. She then began to struggle with these payments. It looks as if the bank then decided to withdraw their good will and closed the second CCA in 2005, and opened a new account which appears to be without her authority as no signed CCA, which was back at a higher interest rate with even less chance of her affording the payments. She made some payments up to 2007, at which point the debt was sold to debt collection agencies.

I am shocked because ive been told that asking for a copy of the credit agreement and not getting one ..means that the company dont have to provide proof theres a debt to begin with..i have been. told its a criminal offence when ive now found out ive been conned as its not against the law not to have proof.Ive had a company claim i owe debt adf they dont have a credit licence, the oft has said this is because either they dont exist or they dont trade in the uk...they also claim i bought goods worth £900 in a shop in the uk although the oft have stated theres no credit licence so no stores in the uk..plus the company have not been able to at any stage produce a statement of the account nor a deed of assigment and have refused to tell me and my dmc what the debt is for will not communicate with me in writing or any other way... and have refused to negotiate with a court..if a judge decides he wants me to pay this debt and sets up the payment amount, at the moment this is summized as im concerned it seems the court hasnt required proof i owe the debt and are unconcerned about the ofts advice and all the other details...ive also been informed that generally courts are not interested in whether its a real debt or not they just stamp the paperwork the company send them they dont look at it....How can they get away with this? especially when they have no proof and a court has made it clear they are not interested in whether this is genuine or not.

The company have been featured on watchdog for fake [problem] debts ..and the court is not interested also that the oft are considering taking their credit licence form them for dishonest business practice...(company is and be warned:LOWELL PORTFOILIO 1 LTD)...the court has said very little about the situation and refuse to tell me if this is genuine or if they company have proof or not only that they said i owe the debt so therefore it seems good enough to them.So i dont know how much of what ive been told or actually reported in this comment about the actual court is right or wrong as the court are not co-operating fully either.I have had legal advice(i cant afford a solicitor so cant defend this in court..and been advised even if i did they would probably win any i feel they are not being honest now and can spring surprise proof on you and make you look stupid and guilty) and i have been advised things have not been done the way a court would normally handle much matters and its odd for this to happen and really strict court procedure should have been followed, maybe it was i dont know the court wont tell me anything only that ive been done, maybe the court wont talk because something is going on that should not be and ive been advised this is perhaps suspicious behaviour.Really at the end of the day i dont know because no one is talking to me about it and i cant get the company or the court to talk.
