    • Hello everyone,   Just thought id post an update.   I've today now finally received a claim form from PRA Group. Bit annoying as the last payment to them would have August 2018 so was nearly over the line. I believe my only grounds for defence is that they haven't managed to produce a copy of the DN notice, however from some online research I managed to find some case law that stated they can use their systems screenshot to show proof of it being sent.   I know I have to respond back to their claim form and will do so online on moneyclaim, is now the time to pick up the phone to them and negotiate a deal?   Any advice as always is much appreciated it.

    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.

    • 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.

The address I have for welcome finance in Milton Keynes is.......143-145 Queensway, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Bucks MK2 2DY..... This is the letter address I received on 4th October 2012 informing me that the Blackburn branch had closed and my account had moved to them in Milton Keynes.

I've also rooted out my statement from June 2012 which states I owed £6624, 44 on 28th June 2012 and the minimum duration of agreement is 120 months which should finish July 2013 but welcome finance said it finishes July 2014. The loan was started 24th July 2003, I still can't get my head around all this :-( it was after all this was sent to me that I got the letter saying there was a mistake on the loan amount and the interest was frozen in Nov 2012, Ive heard nothing about this since despite letters and phone calls. I also sent a CCA request in March along with a £1 postal order - heard nothing :-( I thunk I'm going to have to send a SAR I will be getting another statement in July hopefully this year so we will have to see. I have no idea how to send a SAR but I'll have to look at the templates on here.

Well that's the address I've been given that my account is now located I would have no other idea about where they have departments and offices especially with the financial mess they are in. All I know is my branch in Blackburn is closed and my account has been moved to this address.

Can I ask about the fact I haven't received a reply to the CCA I sent to welcome in March, do I send a SAR with the £10 or wait for my July statement? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks :-)

Well I've just had the best news and I am so thrilled to say that this bloody loan will actually finish at the end of august this year not next year as originally thought. Apparently Blackburn branch have been very naughty and gave me a wrong statement last year and I incorrectly owed far less than Blackburn said. A very nice chap from the Milton Keynes office informed me on the phone that instead of still owing 3k I owe about £800 and it will finish at the end of August :-) I fee like doing a snoopy happy dance! They are sending it to me in writing as I won't believe it till i see it in writing. All I can say is that the Black burn branch deserve all they got and I am speechless and so relieved. Hope everyone is well and I hope nobody minds me posting this :-)

I know I was shocked to say the least when they rang me up at lunchtime; I very nearly fell over from the shock! It must've been a helluva incorrect balance to go from £6, 666 90 at the end of June 2012 to about £800 and finishes end of August this year. Wish I knew what had gone on at Blackburn, they were always saying the balance and loan terms were correct and I was always challenging them before the branch closed last year.
