    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  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.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Hello

 

I have received a letter from Aktiv Kapital regarding an old debt they have managed to drag up.

 

I requested an SAR and they sent me the signed contract and photocopies of all the last few statements to GE Captial Bank

where I have made no payment and they have charged me all sorts of legal costs.

 

The last date on this document is 12/09/02 and this is not a payment I made but charges I incurred.

 

This debt is no longer on my recent credit report and one I had forgotten about to be honest.

 

Does this mean I would be ok sending a statue barred letter to them?

 

Any advice would be grateful, thank you.

It's just a waiting game.....

Ok so I sent them the letter = statue barred

 

they sent me one back saying that I admitted the debt back in 2009 when it belonged to West Cott.

 

I do remember writing letters a while ago when I was trying to sort out my debts saying I would pay £1 until further notice.

 

But this was not with Aktiv this was with someone else which seems to be West Cott.

 

Unfortunately I have looked back on all my files and I can't find the original letters I sent.

I lost lots of information years ago when my computer had a v nasty virus.

 

As they are saying the last payment was 2009 it is not statue barred.

 

But it is not on my credit file.

 

I believe it was and that would've been why I sent the letter in the first place, however it no longer is.

 

I'm not sure what to do,

 

I don't want to pay any of it as I feel it is a past debt which I believe is statue barred,

and they are playing a very naughty game trying to get the money from me.

 

If the debt was originally with West Cott then what does it have to do with Aktiv?

 

Cheers for any advice from you very helpful people.:???:

On the statement they sent me it says

 

Date, Payment - Westcot Credit Services, followed by an amount

 

So according to them payments have been made through 2006-31/03/2009. I am going to go and try find out where I paid this from but I think that bank account is now closed. It doesn't say I paid only Westcot Credit Services paid.

 

I orginally defaulted on 23/09/02 and then the next payment is 31/10/06. Again on the statement is says Westcot Credit Services. According to this I then defaulted again 31/03/2009. Neither of these lengths of time are 6 years, I think this is what they arguing about.

 

Big thank you.

ok so probable scenario is its drfopped off your CRA file

as it was defaulted ages ago, and fell off after 6yrs from the default.

paid or not.

 

and it looks probable that its not SB'd

 

now we need to start on them.

 

you say you have all the GE statements and mention 'legal' charges

 

please elaborate or scan those up

 

 

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

or

convert existing PC files to PDF [office has an installable print to PDF option]

.

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc using paint program

but leave all figures and dates. {DO NOT USE A BIRO OR PEN]

.

goto one of the many free online pdf converter websites

it would be better to upload a multipage pdf if

you have many images too rather than many single pdfs

.

or if you have PDF as an installed printer drive use that

or use word and save as pdf

.

open a new msg box here

hit go advanced below the msg box

hit manage attachments below that box

hit the add files button on the top right

hit select files, navigate to your file on your pc

hit upload files

I had a catalogue debt with Littlewoods of £200 before I moved to this address in 2005.

 

Last year some random company started sending letters.

 

I stood my ground & didn't reply to them as I genuinely don't remember the debt.

 

Although I can't rule it out.

 

Until they rang one day over a year ago & I made the mistake of answering.

 

He kept trying to get me to 'make a payment today'

 

But I was under stress at the time & laughed at the guy & said I have been here 7 yrs now, take me to court.

 

Not heard anything since. Yet.

Hello again,

 

@dk100uk

I am so sorry I didn't get round to completing your request.

 

I actually went off traveling to India for several months and only just got back.

 

I have managed to wade my way through a mountain of mail to find more letters from Aktiv :shock: lol!

 

However one dated 18/11/12 states '

We would like to confirm to you that we are still waiting for information to be supplied to ourselves from the original creditor.

This information is required by ourselves to resolve the query.

Your account with us continues to remain on hold, whilst we await this information.'

 

Then there is a letter from Tempus Solutions dated 05/02/2013 offering me a massive discount and only paying £122.26 and they pay £489.02!!!

This company is part of Aktiv Kapital.

This letter's reference is the same as the one they declare to be 'on hold.'

 

I then check my mail at my parents address (which was my base address for a while)

and find a letter from Nexis Credit Uk.

 

I looked them up and they are a new company from Jan 2012,

but according to Company checker it is run by one member.

 

This company states,

'Your account with our client Aktiv Kapital has been passed to our firm for collection and the balance shown above is now due.

I must inform that payment in full of this outstanding balance is required within 10 days in order to prevent further debt recovery action,

which may include a visit to your property.

 

This debt appears to have different reference number to the above mentioned letters.

 

I don't like the thought of someone turning up at my parents address and being all threatening to them as they are very old,

and with a bit of harrassment would get out a cheque book and pay whatever the bully was asking.

 

I was thinking of phoning them initially to take this address off their records,

but not willing to acknowledge this debt.

Or shall I just send them a copy of the 'doorstep visitor' letter and an address where they can contact me.

 

To be honest this letter was dated 21/03/13 and 10 days are now up.

I hope they (I mean he - the only member of this company) doesn't decide to visit.

 

Please could you advise me accordingly.

 

Thank you once again for all your help.

It's just a waiting game.....

Lol! I like that answer. Feel like sending them that message in huge letters, these letters are so annoying. I know I ran from debts many years ago but surely they are dead and buried by now.

 

Thank you for your advice.

god tempus and nexus

not heard those names in a while

they are both bottom feeders

 

and do nothing.

 

one man dirty raincoat lot.

 

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS

 

they have NO LEGAL POWERS

and even IF [very rare] chance they do doorstep

 

they would not be able to discuss the debt with your parents anyhow

 

its all part of the intimidation these companies use to fleece people.

 

tell you parents to tell them to bugger off their land.

 

discounted debt...as guessed moons ago, trying to fleece you

 

ignore!!
