    • thread title updated please complete this: and post up the defence you filed too    not sure where you got that from... is this the same issue? Logging on to MCOL - is the site down? - Financial Legal Issues - Consumer Action Group  
    • thanks for bothering to update us after all the free help.... dx  
    • Hi all,  I really need to start my own thread on this Claim with Overdales/Lowell for a Cap One debt. but have already got to this stage .. My initial question for the moment - until replies come in - is that I figure my main stance is that a purchased debt cannot be claimed, debts can only be claimed by the original issuer of the debt .. but mediation is about coming to an agreement. would I be acting in bad faith if I enter into mediation yet not seeking to come to a financial agreement? Also, I need to reject the scheduled time slot and ask for another as I'm not going to be free during those hours. The wording of the email gives the impression that I am given this one slot and if I reject it, then I am rejecting mediation - there is no mention of rescheduling, only of freeing up the slot for others .. although, I would have thought it would say so, if there were no possibility to reschedule.. Can I ask for another date without issue? I am happy to post up my defence and start a proper thread? I had a lot on at the time and had to do things right away due to the time limits, so didn't feel I had time to come here and go back and forth for info, put my defence together from reading through relevant threads, late at night. CCA request appears to have been fulfilled (I'm still to check the accuracy of the documents). The other thing, asking solicitors about the particulars of the claim, hasn't .. although I forgot to ask for proof of postage and didn't send recorded post either (whereas the CCA I did), so not sure if I can pursue that easily ..?

    • 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.

I have received another PAP letter of claim from a dca.

I had already dealt with one letter of claim at the start of this year.

They had/ have never provided a valid DN.

 

Should I write and tell them or because this is a new letter of claim do I need to re-do the same as post 101 above ??

probably hoping you have moved then they'll use your failure to comply to file a backdoor CCJ.

reply as you did earlier, 

 

i haven't looked to see what the issues are with the CCA request returns from before but it must of been concluded something was wrong as you (eventually) stopped paying in 2017.

 

no need for a new CCa request this time.

as for the reason just put the debt owners have failed numerous times to send all the required enforceable paperwork requested

Thanks.

Will dig out the previous one on my computer.  Hope I have it saved. 

My printer is broken so going to have to figure out how I print out!

 

If I remember right - they did provide a copy of my signed agreement.   It is the DN that they have never provided.

 

So:

Box D - I would add "have failed numerous times to send all the required enforceable paperwork requested" ?

Box I - I would amend to say previously sent CCA and £1 and the same addition "have failed numerous times to send all the required enforceable paperwork requested" ?

Just trying to get on top of this.  Have a couple weeks to reply but with Christmas looming I thought I'd get it out the way now.

 

So:

BOX D - I dispute the debt because ……………:

the debt purchaser has yet to provide any or all of the required documentation

And Box I -  I need more documents or information.....:

I have already requested by way of a CCA request + £1 fee for you to supply copies of a long list of documents.  You have failed numerous times to send all the required enforceable paperwork requested.

 

By adding I have previously submitted and paid for a cca request that would mean I don't have to do it again now?  And as you said DX, they need to then do the work to ascertain what they haven't provided rather than me spelling it out again?

 

If this is ok I will find a way to print it out and post (with proof) 

 

Just as a ps - going through papers they allege the account was assigned mid 2014.  Never got the DN

I had a stroppy reply

They have attached a screenshot of the alleged DN.   They suggest this is now enough to take further action

They still don't have the original

If they don't have the original how can they provide a screenshot after all these year of not having any evidence?  Could it possibly be manipulated ?

I forgot, did you ever SAR Halifax? That should tell you the exact date a default notice was issued and sent out.

We could do with some help from you.

Sorry for the delay - been sick... on the mend now.

 

I did a SAR ages ago.

SO - the sar and my own accounting records show I paid correct amount at the start of each month. 

I had some financial issues in 2005.  On a few occasions I missed the payment date - yet always made the payment later in same month or paid double the following month.  There are a few £30 charges in 05.   From end 05 to end 08 I didn't miss a payment.

 

Nov 08 I missed a payment.  From then on I only made token monthly payments.  But at this point they would not have expected me to stop paying because my payment history had been perfect for the previous 3 years.

 

Intrum letters have always advised "unfortunately, due to the age of the account the original creditor is unable to provide a default notice".

However, they now add "but we have enclosed a screen shot demonstrating that the default notice was issued, and are happy to rely on the same".

 

The DN screen shot is dated end Nov 08.

I had not even missed 30 days, let alone 60 days or months of payments!

 

The screen shot shows:

DFN total arrears = 1 month payment amount.   

DFN total due amount = 2 months payments amount  (** why? Next payment wasn't yet due)

Cycles delinquent at time of issue = 1

 

Why would the original creditor be issuing a DN in the same month payment was due, after 3 years of perfect payment history???

Intrum advise they will rely on the screen shot of this "alleged DN" to take action against me 

 

Sar statement shows a £50 charge in Dec 08.   I assume this relates to the DN?

Received another letter- saying haven't heard from me with a response to their pap reply and giving me 14 days of their intention to instruct sols to commence court proceedings.

Should I be now responding? Telling them that never received the DN and having checked the statements I note that their alleged screen shot and date would have rendered it invalid?

Are Intrum FCA authorised ?

 

This is a post from a solicitors website 

 

Quote

 

On 24 April 2019 xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx was successful in a consumer credit claim appeal. The Claimant debt purchaser admitted they were not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority but said they could rely on   because they had a valid servicing agreement in place with an affiliated 3rd party who was authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. It was accepted by both parties that there was a valid servicing agreement in place.  The issue was could the Claimant debt purchaser rely on paragraph 55 of the Schedule to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Exemption) Order 2001 to issue proceedings in the county court.

The Circuit Judge held as a general principle of law that the Claimant debt purchaser was not able to rely on the FCA authorisation of an affiliated 3rd party ( paragraph 55 of the Schedule to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Exemption) Order 2001) for the purpose of bringing a claim. The agreement was unenforceable, and the order of the court below was set aside, and the Claim dismissed

 

 

 

Essentially , if a claimant is not FCA authorised they can not bring a claim - I am told there is some case law with regard to. Intrum 

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
