    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the charge dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant 1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land. 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N 7 Who is the parking company? MET 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf

On 28/11/23 the debt of £7296 was assigned to PRA Group (UK) Limited, who itself assigned the debt to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd on 30/12/23. Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925. The Claimant has instructed PRA Group (UK) to act on its behalf and the CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £7925 What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021. Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?

I have read through a number of similar threads, one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid),  not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it.

    • 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 evryone. I just cannot believe what ive been reading in this and another post re CapQuest. Ive been paying them for years re an MBNA debt.

I know i would never have recieved any letter of intention to pass on the debt,as I wasnt even in the country.

 

They just rang me today to say I was 5 days late with my payment. Ive been given a £500 penalty and have just reduced my payments down to £5 pm.

Great info on this site.

Thanks

£500 penalty? what do you mean? If you mean you got a reduction/discount on the total amount of the debt, then stop paying immediately as you are being cash cowed on a bad debt.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi renegadeimp.

No, they add £500 ontop of my original debt for late payment of our agreed arrangement. They should have got £7 on the 2nd of Aug but didnt get it til 7th...so, £500 please. Theyve added about 5k in total in 5 years.

Ok. Ignore that £500. It is a grossly unfair charge. If you have a statement of account, then im thinking the rest of those charges are unfair and reclaimable.

 

Can i ask if capquest actually own the debt, or are they acting on behalf of another creditor?

 

 

Edit: they reduced your payments because you are being cash cowed big time. Have you considered stopping all payments and requesting a CCA or SAR?

 

Could you also post more info about your debt, as i am 99% sure you are being conned. I will ask an admin to make a new thread for you, so we can help you get these charges removed, and your debt sorted.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi again. Ido ignore it, in fact, to be honest, I dont really worry about it.

Capquest tell me they have bought the debt, so Im going to follow previously ststed letter templates and get them to prove it..

Have you checked the 3 credit agencies to see what appears on your credit file? Capquest have been known to tell people that they own the debt, but fail to provide any proof.

  • 1 year later...

Ive recently bn sent a letter from Marlin re an alleged debt from Barclaycard (Orig Eggicon card)

Apparently this was an online application and as such, no signatureicon was needed.

 

I do remember having an Egg card, but I also remember the balance being around £300 not the 2428.50 they now assert.

 

This was over 5 yrs ago.

I was further puzzled when I heard recently that Barclaysicon had sold customers info to rogue traders.

 

I have just asked them to send me a signed agreement, but they say the tick box was sufficient... REALLY??

Ive also asked for a full statement of account, Payments made and full balance etc.

Any advice will be most welcome please.

Can you give us some dates? They are correct about the tick box providing that the agreement was post apr 2007.

 

 

When was the last time you made written acknowledgement to the debt or paid anything off it?

 

 

Regarding the amount they say you owe, it isnt unheard of for the dca to add a ton of unlawful charges to it. But it is much more likely the cc company put a ton of charges there. Good news is they can be reclaimed

The owners are now Cabot then, as Cabot have just purchased Marlin Financial!

Wonder if, Cabot will keep Martin Dumphy on?

To Renegade Imp.

The debt is from Feb 2005. If it was digitally signed, is this still OK?... I refer to your previous comment about April 2007....How does that work with the CCA and their requirement to send me a true copy of my signed agreement?

 

Ive just found out, by ringing Barclaycard direct that this debt is real and the sum claimed is correct.

I cannot believe that it has taken them 9 yrs to get in touch with me.... I had not even realised the debt existed.

I have moved home 4 times in that time.

I am not aware of any correspondences at all, soI will send a SAR to them so they can prove it...

Without that, shouldnt the debt be statute barred??

 

Im just dumbfounded that this even is here...

 

Any further advice or comments would be appreciated.

Glenn

Pre April 2007 they should have a copy of the original agreement, signed by you plus all T&C's at signature, any alteration, and the t&c's at closure of the account.

 

HOWEVER, A CCA request doesnt have anywhere near the power it used to, but pre apr 2007, iirc they should have sent out forms for you to sign and send back. Im pretty sure there have been cases where only a tickbox was signed and because there wasnt an agreement, then the debt was unenforceable.

 

Sadly though since the case that caused all these CCA changes, many judges allow the reconstituted CCA to stand as you did take the card and used the money. If i were you, i would be focusing on Possible statute barred status rather than lack of a CCA.

 

I also hope you have reclaimed all those junk fee's they have tried to charge you.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
