      Lowell/Overdales Claimform - old Cap1 Debt

      By dx100uk · Posted

      don't get too hung up on the real meaning of 'fake' in terms of the documents a claimant might produce relating to a potential court claim. by fake we typically mean, they are not obviously the 'real McCoy' ,100% associated with whatever credit they are trying to pin on punters. they are often of the right 'version' that an OC would have used for that particular take out date, but with details inserted in a diff font where they should be for say your name address DOB etc. All DCA's typically  have filing cabinets covering each year for most creditor, whip 'em out, scan and copy n paste your details onto them, even easier now with online sign ups. no hard copies ever sent cause 90% of mugs have lost them..... one of our most powerful tools is the fact any docs they produce, unless they state they are 'a reconstruction'  MUST come from the original creditor noty some hidden pile the claimants have. Link are absolute masters at this so dont stick to lowell threads. dx

      small accident, what to do?

      By puma85 · Posted

      Driving home last night I contacted wing mirrors with a car coming the opposite way. The wing mirror folded in and the glass popped out. Very minor damage.  I stopped at the next layby (A road) to repair the mirror. A passerby stopped and said they saw the other car stopped behind me in another layby - they went back and passed over details so we could get in touch.  The conversation started cordially, but quickly got heated when I said I was well on my side and they drifted over (which is what happened).  I wasn't going to bother filing a claim as there isn't enough damage to justify it. So I've said to the other party lets just call it quits as there are no witnesses and we both think we are innocent.   they said they are contacting the police and insurance and that they have witnesses. But a quick facebook search found a post by the other person saying they were in a crash, and were 'spun' off the road. Picture of a broken wing mirror and a slight scuff on the front and rear wheel arch. they are asking for witnesses. I have screenshots of the post, and sent them another message saying I can see you dont have witnesses as you are appealing for them. I'd really not drag this out. Lets call it quits and move on. this was followed by a couple of messages that didn't really make much sense. e.g. 'do the right thing'. What should I do now?  Contact police?  Contact my insurance? - Can I tell them about this incident but say I dont want to claim? Will that affect my premium?

      Backdoor CCJ for Shortfall of Car Finance from VWFS (Audi Financial Services) - Set Aside but lost later hearing - 2018 diesel scrappage scheme help needed - want to appeal

      By Unknown2024 · Posted

      So this is the crux of the argument. The scrappage contribution should have also been counted as a deposit. It was literally a part exchange in return for a cash deduction so there is no reason it wouldn't be treated the same way.  I did not request a VT, I was struggling to pay after a separation from my partner at the time. However had the figures been reflected correctly, the VT cost would have been 2k not 9k and I may have considered it as an option. Instead, the car was marked stolen and removed from my possession by the police

      Yup, it isn't a criminal case, it's hard to prove, but take a detailed look at my thread to see how many holes there are in what they have sent me, there is a picture building.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

As already reported in the media over the past couple of weeks a lot of ASDA stores have already got Santa's grotto in place ready for Xmas & have been selling Xmas lines for ages. SWMBO has just come in from work and told me that they are now expecting their delivery of the Easter eggs on Boxing day.

 

She was also given her 'Xmas stocking' from work which contained party packs, nuts etc.

It's flipping everywhere! My local bargain card shop has their Christmas range out, as does my local newsagent and chemist. One of the bookshops has all their Christmas Annuals out as well! One of my Facebook friends has started her Christmas countdown (status update every day saying how many days are left) and changed her name to something like "Santa's Little Helper" or "Christmas Pixie" or something equally depressing.

 

Wake me up on the 20th of December, please...I don't want to hear about any of it until then!

For manufacturing/supply purposes, YES they do.

 

Its called profitability.

 

Nothing you buy from them will have been made in the U.K. to enable a constant supply on the run up to Xmas.

 

Its been imported. Its here. Its in the warehouse. Its probably been paid for a year ago.

 

So, get it out on the shelves and sell, sell, sell.

I Wish you everything you wish yourself.

 

NatWest Claimed £1,639. Accepted £1,344.

Natwest Paid me again as GOGW £1,656. Yes they can have it back if they say please.

Barclays 1 Claimed £1,260. Won by default. Paid in full

Barclays 2 Claimed £2,378. Won by default. Paid in full

Birmingham Midshires. Claimed £2,122. Accepted £2,075.

I've already been doing some Xmas cards, I make my own and in the crafting world there is 'Xmas in July' where you dig out the unfinished stuff from last year, start on long term projects (so you might finish them in time for THIS year) and generally see what you might need to get to continue feeding the crafting habit!

 

Yes, Xmas stuff sighted in Poundland and other shops - apparently they had such a bad time with the garden stuff this year they are hoping people might buy early for Xmas this year.

We went to JTF warehouse yesterday, and they were packed out with Christmas lights, decorations, cards etc - it was quite surreal to see tinsel and sparkling Christmas light next to BBQ's and patio sets :lol:

Never use ASDA as found them to be more expensive than Morrisons and lower quality!

 

I'm not a lover of Asdas quality, but I think the quality of most supermarkets has gone down hill, with the exception of Waitrose, but we all know how expensive that place is :lol:

 

I only use supermarkets now for items such as toiletries etc, I use my Butchers for meat, the market or greengrocers for fruit and veg, and I go to the Asian shop when I visit my friend for my spices etc.

Good attitude but the problem is the supermarket is convenient so you buy all your stuff there. Many times we have gone in to make a few purchases and walk out with a trolly load of stuff! :x

After getting tickets to be in the audience of a very well known TV show recording a few months back, we arrived on one of the few hot days of this year to find out they were recording the xmas special. the whole audience was sweltering, fanning themselves, shedding as many clothes as they could and the poor panel were dressed up in santa padded outfits, woollen scarves and hats and other winter paraphernalia! :madgrin:

Me too, even though I don't buy meat or veg in ASDA or any other supermarket anymore, it's as good as any for the things I do need! And their kitchen stuff is great!
