    • 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.

Today we have had a letter in the post saying that Lewis intend on serving a statory demand next week with a day and time and they also state that they will post through the door if we arent there.

 

I think it could be an old Barclaycard and no payment has been made for some time, but not long enough for it to be SB.

 

Help what do we do, as we are going away camping and I need it sorted before we go, or wont relax

 

Thank you

Just had a look at paperwork and this has been passed around to lots of different DCA's and the last letter we had from Lowells was last year and offering a 50% reduction. Then this letter and nothing in between. I dont have any other paperwork, no original agreement but I do know this was taken out over 11 years ago

Not a great surprise using SD's as a tool for debt collection, just shows you how desperate these children are now.

 

Thats you first complaint to the OFT.

 

Check your credit file, see if anything is on their.

Checked credit file and Lowells is listed on there, defaulted in 2010. But the original creditor says satisfied, suppose that was when Lowells bought it out.

 

 

The balance has gone up by just under £200 and dont know why. Original agreement was in the 90's

 

Been reading around the forums and going to CCA Lowells tomorrow in preparation for the SD arriving next week and will SARS the OC, but know thats unlikely to come through any time soon. I am sure its made up of lots of charges and thats why they offered a 50% reduction.

When did you take out the card? If it was post 2007 then CCA request will pretty well be redundant, esp if you opened this online.

 

But you can still do it, if for nothing else to slow lowlifes down and make them realise they're not in control.

 

SAR to the OC is a V.good idea, so as to find out exactly what is owed, and what is charges/fees that you can reclaim.

 

Then once you know what is physically owed then you can set up a standing order to pay sharklaycard direct ignoring lowlifes and making them redundant.

What is it with lowlifes issuing SD's like confetti??

 

You need to acknowledge the SD, and then put in a defence, DON'T allow lowlifes to win this despicable vermin!

 

I'm out of my depth with SD's but plenty of others will be able to help you defeat them.

Bazooka - thank you for your support. Its just going to attend court is very difficult for us as its over 30 miles away to the one who they have put on the SD.

 

I was just wondering if I can sort it by making a payment offer

If the court is not your local or nearest one, then you CAN have it moved to one which is suitable to you.

 

Please don't feel bullied into paying money you might not owe, especially to these clowns.

You can look here to see if the court nearest to you handle bankruptcies / insolvencies - http://www.justice.gov.uk/about/hmcts There is a drop down list of courts, find the nearest one to you and see if they do indeed handle these cases (bearing in mind a number of courts have closed / transferred cases to those which aren't closing. I presume it isn't statute barred, have you sent off the CCA request ?

Just looked and there is one nearer that deals with it, can anyone tell me how I get it moved to there please

 

 

Please don't take any notice of any courts that a creditor puts on a SD.

 

At the moment, no court knows anything about this. This is just a piece of paper that they have printed off and filled in your details.

 

It is NOT a case of getting it ''moved'' to your nearest court - it hasn't been anywhere near a court yet

 

In fact, it is YOU that will be commencing court proceedings against them. So, if you choose to get this set aside then you just fill in the details of your local court that handles bankruptcies.

Thank you Nicklea and 42man. Just got back from camping and now to deal with this. So I just send the forms to the local court, I live on the borders of two counties and the one thats in my postal county is quite a long way from me. I am going to deal with this Monday and sort out the statement.

 

Yes 42man the CCA request has been sent and surprise surprise not a dickey bird and neither have they answered an offer letter that was sent to them last weekend. So going for the set aside that has to be in by the end of the week, will post next day delivery to the court

If we agree to a payment plan to hold off having to go to Court for the set aside, are we able to still put the account in dispute if they dont respond to the CCA request, which was sent approx 2 weeks ago, so will be in breach about the time the Set Aside is due in. Just trying to work out what is the best way forward for us. I do realise they have sent the SD to get us to contact them and to make a payment.

Hi CG....a payment plan isn't always a reason for them not progressing a stat demand to petition stage, as you will know there are many issues surrounding credit agreements, ppi, default notices, charges etc etc correct terminations etc, if you strengthen your resolve and are not afraid to show the judge that you are setting aside against this horrible company's methods, then (and providing you get a half decent judge) you will get it set aside. Only you can make that decision. A Judge should set aside if (there are triable issues) you can show through your defence and higher court cases, and their breach of OFT regulations and a clear breach of CPUTR2008 in line with their association body's code of conduct.

Just a little update on this as been dragging on for a long time.

 

The SD scared the life out of us as we own our own house with some equity, so decided to agree a payment plan with them. We also requested a copy of the agreement which we not supplied with. We decided earlier this year to stop the payments and explained that we didn't think this agreement was enforceable. Today after its taken them some months to investigate our complaint they have written to us saying they have written the account off and it now has a zero balance.

 

I am angry that they put us through the stress on an unenforceable account and threatened us with bankruptcy but glad in the end I found the courage to fight them at their own game

Well done, as for requesting a refund of monies paid then I think this is going to be difficult, bereft of any court case or hard proof / evidence of any excessive pressure then I think you will have to let the payments you made go.
