    • 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 02/01/2023 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 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, 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 have had problems with 1st Credit going back a while.

 

Originally a loan with citi that was defaulted due to redundancy (this was back in 2006),

a lot of hassle while i was at my lowest ebb and then i found CAG,

sent off CCA requests to 1st Credit who ignored it,

nothing for a while then a letter from Connaught Collections,

told them about the defaulted CCA and heard nothing for quite a while then in early 2008

i received a SD with a view to making me bankrupt.

 

Thanks to the great folks on here i filled in the forms for a set aside and waited,

I was away at a wedding in April and when i returned from the trip to a letter from the court saying that nobody had turned up

(i was not informed of the court date) and therefore the Judge had thrown it out.

 

I have had nothing but the odd statement saying you havent paid anything until a couple of weeks ago

when i got a letter from Citi telling me that they had passed the debt to 1st Credit,

followed less than a week later by them introducing themselves

and now only a couple of days later by a pay up or we are considering court action letter (the letter shows they purchased the debt in October 2006)

 

Can they go down this route again after failing to provide any documents last time?

Should i CCA them again? (they did offer to send me everything they have on me for £10 without prompting)

 

How do i find out when i last made a payment or acknowledged this alleged debt? it must be very close to 6 years ago now

 

Thanks for your help

Yes they can do all this again 1st Credit are known for getting

Citi to produce recon agreements just before a debt is about

to become stature barred together with mystery payments.

For the information you require you need to make a Subject

Access Request under The Data Protection Act 1998, this will

get you all the data held on you regarding the account.

There is a statutory fee of £10 for this and the company has

40 days to comply.

 

There is a template letter in the CAG library you can amend to

suit, the should be addressed to the Data Controller at Citi.

Hi

Thanks for the information,

I note on the letter in the file it says to sign but put crosses through the signature, it has been a while since i was on here but previous advice was just to type your name and not sign it, has this changed?

 

I was surprised that 1st Credit offered me the information from their files for the £10 fee is this a usual practice by DCA's now as i would have had to approach both them and Citi, i certanly haven't acknowledged this debt and the CCA was not complied with at the time does this have any bearing?

 

Sorry for so many questions but thanks in advance for your help

David

1st Credit will only hold data since they aquired the account

so A SAR must go to Citi so £10 for not much!!!

 

Also please check your credit reference files that will give

some idea of the status of the debt.

Get these done asap then we can go from there.

There have been alleged instances that a DCA has ''lifted'' a signature in the

past, but sign with your current signature,if you wish make a subltle change

to it.

I agree send them copies of those docs with

just the statement that you do not acknowledge

any debt to them or any other company.

I guess you could as already advised, send them a copy of the General order you received when the original claim was struck out.

 

There must have been a reason they didnt turn up at court in respect of the original claim. Whilst you had a good reason in that you were not aware that there was a hearing.
