    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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,

 

Reconstituted credit agreement from Capone attached. I though the days of reclaiming default charges were long gone?

 

thanks

Thanks for all the advice, how do I go about reclaming charges? I've no idea how much of the balance is made up of charges? Are these just the charges when it was £25 or also the £12 charges? I have read that people who have tried to reclaim the £12 charges have been rebuffed because it wasn't considered an unfair charge.

 

thanks

Capone will indeed attempt to avoid refunding the £12.00 charges.. but if you dont ask, you dont get and others have managed to obtain these with a little persistence :)

If you dont have your statements then you will need to obtain them by way of Subject Access Request - this will cost you £10.00 and the company has 40 calendar days with which to comply.

 

It would be foolish to simply write demanding the charges back if you dont know the value of the claim.

Hi All,

 

I've received a letter from rma regarding a potential doorstep recover as follows

 

Dear xxxxx,

 

We are writing to formally notify you of our intentions to forward your account to Scotcall LTD, a doorstep recovery agency.

 

We have repeatedly attempted to reach a suitable agreement with you to recover the money owed to our client (sharklaycard) £1,085.26. Regrettably, we have been unsuccessful and must not consider referring this matter to our recovery agents.

 

In such instances, Scotcall may visit your home in order to discuss your financial situation and to agree a suitable repayment option.

 

This is not our preferred course of action and if you wish to avoid this then you must either pay the full amount or contact our offices directly on 01772 843045 withing 14 days of the date on this letter to discuss your repayment options.

 

Please note there will be no further correspondence from us before we refer the matter to our recovery agents.

 

All correspondence, with our reference number clearly quoted should be sent to,

 

Rma

etc

 

the reason I haven't done anything with this is that I have been waiting for sharklaycard to respond to a cca request in September.

 

They finally responded on the 8th January. Included was the t&cs when I signed up and the t&cs when I defaulted. There was no signed credit agreement.

 

There letter reads.

 

Dear mr. xxxx

 

Barclaycard services

 

Acount Number xxxxx

 

Reference: Section 78 of the consumer credit act 1974

 

I refer to your request for information dated 14/09/12

 

The information we must provide to you under the terms of Section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (the "Act") is prescribed by the Act and by the Consumer Credit (Cancellation Notices and Copies of Documents) Regulations 1983. Section 78 of the Act provides that, where a creditor receives a Section 78 request, the creditor shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement (and any document referred to in it) and a statement of the account.

 

I enclose a reconstituted copy of your credit agreement together with a copy of the terms of your credit agreement as varied in accordance with section 82(1) of the Act. This is a statement of the terms of your agreement with us and incorporates any variations to the terms made since you entered into this agreement. However, the interest rates, fees and charges set out in the agreement, may differ from those we have discussed with you, due to the current status of your account. We know that your account is not in dispute because of any delay in providing your cipy documents as Section 78 (6) (b) was repealed on the 31st May 2008. It is now no longer an offence for a creditor to fail to comply with s78(6) for more than one month.

 

A statement of your account is below:

 

The current credit limit on your account is £0.00

 

The current balance on your account today is £1,085.26

 

Due to the current status of your account, the full outstanding balance is now due.

 

This completes our obligations under Section 78 of thr Act.

 

With regards to your request for a true copy of the deed of assignment; I must inform you that this document is not applicable to your account as we are the original creditor defined in section 189 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and therefore no assignment of credit has taken place,

 

With regards to you reference to sections 5(2), 6 and 7 of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, we do not accept there there is any basis to assert that we have not fully complied with our obligation.

 

Yours sincerely

 

April Hodgson

 

Barclaycard Customer Services.

 

I know I can tell Scotcall to sling their hook but I'd rather they didn't come around in the first place. I thought the whole purpose of the cca was to get a signed copy of the original credit agreement. Barclaycard haven'e supplied this but say they have complied?

 

I'm a bit lost, can anone advise please.

 

Thanks again

 

Benno

Thanks for the reply, I just assumed if there was no signed cca then they wouldnt be able to enforce the debt. I guess I just need to fire off the no doorstep visits letter. I did that to Moorcroft and they sent someone anyway. I then ccomplained and then sent the debt back to the original creditor but I wonder if its sometimes better to just ignore the letters rather than letting them know you are still there.
