    • 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.

Hi,

I have recently changed to Santander after many years with Natwest and they suggested the 123 credit card. I couldnt see why not so applied and have been rejected. I have looked in to this more closely and it appears that i have a default payment on Equifax from May 2005 which was closed in 2007. It is coming up in black on checkmyfile.com and is a negative factor. The description is 'Communications supplier' however i cannot remember what this could be for. Nor have i had any letters for this chasing Payment. I have asked for a Equifax disputes pack from checkmyfile.com and am awaiting this.

What can you advise me to do? Thank you in advance.

Great thread for the people who want to know about credit histories.

 

I have a number of debts, all of which I defaulted in late 2006 due to redundancy.

1) Natwest took me to court and I now pay them £200 a month and have been for 6 years, to clear a £24k debt with a CCJ - slowly chipping away - hopefully I'm going to try and pay this off this year in full.

1.1) £2k - dropped off my credit file last week

1.2) £2.1k

1.3) £20k

2) Barclaycard same as above, CCJ, paid off £100 of a £5k debt, then it passed onto to a DCA, so I stopped paying, owe about £2.8k

3) £13k with Halifax - is now statue barred and dropped of my credit file last week

4) £5k with Crapquest

5) £2.2k - Halifax credit card - with a DCA

6) 5k with Egg now with a DCA

These all drop off this year :-)

 

Q. Even though the CCJ records will drop off this year, what will happen to the actual CCJs? Can credit companies see public records like CCJs?

Q. What will happen to the payment history of the accounts that I am paying post 6 years - will it still show default or satisfactory?

CCJs are removed after 6 years but technically still exist BUT the claimant would have to apply to a court to ''restart'' the claim after 6 years this is only granted in very extenuating circumstances.

All default entries are removed paid or not.

So on my credit report in the Public records section its shows 2 CCJs, will they drop off after 6 years too?

 

Also, when Barclaycard sold on my CCJ debt to a DCA, they marked it as satisfied. Does that mean that the ccj should be removed from my house?

NO the CJJ is personal not on an adress, yes the will be removed but will still exist the claimant would have to apply to the court to restart the claim, this is rarely given and then only in special circumstances.

Hi, defaulted accounts are removed from credit reference files on the 6th anniversary of the default date paid or not, they cannot be replaced ever again.

 

 

However the debt still exists and remains collectable.

 

 

If there has been no payments or unequivocal written acknowledgment of the debt in 6 clear years then the debt will become statute barred in the case of credit card and unsecured loan debts, but again in England & Wales the debt still exist (in Scotland the debt is extinguished after 5 years).

 

 

The OFT Guidance on Debt Collection, Appendix B, states that it is unfair to press for payment (of a statute barred debt) once the debtor has informed the creditor in writing of the status of the debt, to do so may amount to harassment.

 

 

For bank accounts/over drafts and loans secured on goods(Hire Purchase) the six years May start from the date the account was defaulted.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your prompt response!!!!

 

That means my accounts should have been removed from credit reference files by now because (as i mentioned earlier) i paid last payments in may 2006 for all lenders except my mobile that i paid upto dec 2007 and i didn't made contact or agreement with lenders after those dates . Am i right??

 

Can i check my account in Experian and other two credit agencies to know current situation, or will it create any problem if i contact them now.....please guide me what to do

... how to start to build the credit history now without any affect of my previous bad credit history ...

 

i had bank account with halifax, so is it possible to open account with them now or you want me to open accounts with other banks

 

please guide me with step by step procedure to start build the credit.

 

Thank in Advance.

Ok ,

 

 

1. yes check credit files asap. If the accounts were defaulted that long ago then they should not be on the CRA files..

2. No one else will be aware that you have checked you credit files.

 

 

Once you have the CRA data you can start to review your choices as what and when you need to do to rebuild a credit profile.

 

 

Some definite do nots.

 

 

1. Do not make frequent and multiple credit applications of any sort. These leave visible footprints on the files.

2. Stay away from comparison sites when looking for suitable credit building cards, or insurance paid by instalments.

Each company that quotes will access credit files.

3. Totally avoid short term loans (payday loans companies may claim that these can help to improve a credit rating, unfortunately the opposite is true.

 

 

Things to do.

 

 

1. Make sure you are on the electoral roll.

2. Stable residential status in very important.

3. Ensure all types of account are always up to date, including utility bills, these companies will report late/missed payments and defaults in many cases.

3. Get a basic bank account, no frills no overdraft and never go overdrawn, or have unpaid direct debits etc.

4. Take a look at credit builder credit cards (look at the adverts on line) don't use the comparison sites),>

Capital one have a card that with a low limit of £250.00 is easy to manage will most certainly help repair of your credit profile.

5. Use the card regularly for small purchases and always clear the balance on time every month.

 

 

Hope this helps.

I have a default which should have dropped off on 15/03/2014. Experian were on the ball and its dissapeared. However its still on equifax despite ringing them 4 times this week and them telling me they were onto it.

Is there anyway i can be a bit more forceful??

I've read this thread with interest and registered as a result.

A question i've tried (and failed!) to get help with: is it true that a debt is only classified as statute barred if the individual remained available to be contacted regarding it? I went overseas ten years ago, leaving a personal loan, a phone bill and a maxed out credit card. Surely given the fact that I vanished and left no means of being contacted, I'm still liable to be pursued for the debt, no?

My Experian report is completely blank aside from some electoral role info; no CCJ's… nothing…

Can anyone tell me how I can find out who bought the debts? Or if its even advisable to pursue them?

Hi welcome to CAG,

 

 

If there has been no written acknowledgment or payment made in 6 clear years (5 in Scotland) the debt is statute

barred depending on the type of debt it is a matter of argument that a credit card or unsecured loan becomes stat barred 6 years after the last payment was made an no acknowledgment was made after that date.

 

 

Secured loans/HP accounts from the date defaulted, phone accounts from the date the creditor demanded payment in full.

 

 

If the debts are not on CRA files now that means 6 years or more have elapsed since the accounts were defaulted, so all gone never to return.

 

No one is chasing you so no need to do anything but build a new " Credit Profile "

Thank you, that's extremely helpful.

Is there no chance (as far as you know) that my reappearing on the electoral roll (or utility bills, credit applications mortgage/land registry etc) could alert any owner of the debt and prompt a new pursuit of it?

If a creditor or DCA is intent on finding you they will. If this happens all you do is state the debt is statute barred.

 

 

When a debt is sold in a very large portfolio of delinquent accounts the minimum of data is provided by the seller, e.g. Name & Address Contact, details, name of original creditor, amount owed. default date. It is unusual for this data to contain any mention of the date that it would become SB, which is why we see DCAs stating they have to check the status of the debt when we challenge it as SB.

Good morning,

 

 

Lowell is a debt purchase company.

 

 

Do you have any defaulted accounts showing on your credit files now?

 

 

If not Lowell Cannot put any entry on your files again.

 

 

Defaults are removed from credit files on the 6th anniversary of the default date paid or not and cannot return.

 

 

If there has been no payment or unequivocal written acknowledgment of the debt Lowell have purchased since December 2007 the debt is statute barred anyway.

Unless Lowell fully explain exactly what it's chasing file the letter and ignore until further information is provided.
