    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

I am happy to say, following the excellent advice from here I emailed Amanda Gledhill Customer Excellence - Aintree and had a reply immediately, she followed up with a phone call and accepted my £50 offer, stopped the interest for 18 months and refunded money I wasn't aware had been charged to the account. She couldn't have been more helpful. I will certainly rest easier now. Many thanks for the advice given on this site especially idainfife.

Dear Mr Chandler,

 

It is with regret that I am having to send an email to you direct as I have sent numerous emails to customer services who do not seem to take notice of what it is written in them.

 

I have emailed several times to say that I am in severe financial difficulties and can only currently afford to pay £x per months. I am getting replies to say that this is not acceptable and to ring up. I have stated several times that I do not wish to call as every time and I am intimidated into paying more than I can afford and therefore constantly default.

 

I have had to contact all my creditors and glad to say that my other mail order providers have agreed to my offer and also frozen interest for 12 months to all me to make my monthly payments actually help decline the overall balance.

 

I was on the understanding that with you being holders of a consumer credit license that you are required to be compliant with codes of practice, fair business practice and observe guidelines as set out by the office of fair trading.

I am very disappointed that you will not even consider my offer and stop interestlink3.gif and charges to bring the balance down in which I believe is a breech of the office of fair trading guidelines.

 

I would ask to you reconsider my offer of £x per week and stop interest and charges,

 

 

 

and sent it too: Neil.Chandler@shopdirect. com (no spaces)

 

his PA then called her back and said it was not enough but tricia44 insisted this is all she could afford and the PA called her back again accepted the offer.

thank you for this - i have been in the same situation with NDR for a few months now - I am on a DMP - all offers were rejected and interest is still piling on :(

 

my dmp advisor has already asked for the interest to be frozen but as this is not normal practice - nothing can be done!

 

I think now after reading your posts I will email Neil and reiterate my position in the hope that they will freeze the interest and allow for me to claim all the charges back to be paid back into their account!

I'm due a baby in 11 days and really cant be having all this headache it causing, they keep emailing me to ring them but i know they'll talk me into some ludacris payment.

What makes you think you can get the charges back?

 

OFT says that anything is excess of £12 is unfair. Otherwise they can charge it to recover costs.

I would ask to you reconsider my offer of £10 per week and stop interest and charges,

 

Why do people think it is their right to have the interest stopped? You can only request they stop interest. They are not legally obliged, either by law or the OFT.

 

Edit: Original post sounded a bit snotty. Should have probably added that they will stop charges and interest if you send an offer of payment not less than £1pcm per account. Must be through an official debt management company, such as the CAB or CCCS though.

wrong!!

 

the FSA [who made the guidelines]

clearly state that even for £12, the company must justify the costs.

wrong again.......

 

they are obliged to help you.

 

why do you think that 90% of DMP's [paid or otherwise] suceed in freezing interest.

 

there are industry guidelines that dictate thy nmust help and not put the debtor in more debt under hardship.

 

same goes for PENALTY chsrges.

This like the other 7 posts you have made is utter rubbish!

 

The OFT said that they will not investigate charges above £12. ANY charge, WHATEVER amount that is a penalty is UNFAIR and can be reclaimed.

 

I am watching your posts and will use my big button if I have to.

Hi there, I'm afraid to say that this isn't true at all. I have it on VERY good authority (i.e. direct from Shop Direct) that they will accept informal negotiations so long as:

a) The debtor's financial statement is supported with figures adhering to the Common Financial Statement

b) All creditors are being treated in the same way, e.g. pro-rata or token offers

 

In fact, Shop Direct were one of the earliest adopters to accept those wishing to self-negotiate via the CASHflow system - which, as I'm sure you already know, is designed to allow the public the freedom to self-negotiate without having to involve the likes of CCCS (who don't often take a DMP on unless there is a minimum of £100 or so) or the CAB (often long waits to see an advisor).

 

My personal view is that there shouldn't be ANY difference between those under a DMP / Casework support / Self-negoatiting so long as the basic principles of dealing with debts is followed. Remember the likes of National Debtline has been championing self-negotiating for a few decades now; you might want to familiarise yourself with the latest version of their self-help pack 'Dealing with your debts':

Hi All

In April of this year I took fantastic advice from this site regarding money I owed to ISME and VERY,

the result was,

both accepted my offer of £50 per month and froze interest,

 

this morning I have received a letter from NDR,

saying that Very have handed the account over to them and they are demanding minimum £140.00 per month,

( Im sure Isme are going to follow suit)

 

I am at my wits end as to what to do,

 

I rang NDR this morning and explained the situation I am in and there having none of it,

either pay-up or seek debt advice was there answer,

 

In my nievety, I thought Very and Isme would contact me after 6 months and let me no what the next step was,

so this has come as a tremendous shock,

 

can anybody advice me on what to do.

 

Many Thanks

You "TELL" NDR how much you will be paying them !!

 

You are in controll of YOUR money not them !

 

As it is a NON PRIORITY debt you only pay them what you can realisticly afford to pay them. If they dont like it then tough!

 

Have you done a sar to ISME and VERY and reclaimed all the unlawfully applied charges yet?

 

By the way NDR are the same company VERY, SHOP DIRECT GROUP ECT.

 

Do not talk to them on the phone again, tell them that you want all comunication in writing only.

 

Do not let them bully you , they are not worth worrying over,

 

i have been there with them before.

 

Just take back controll of your own money.

 

As i said before they are not priority debts and as such should only be paid with what is left after PRIORITY DEBTS have been paid.

hello all:-)
