    • If it was done via N245 and the payments are up todate then the landlord must make an application with fee for a redetermination. Can't execute with bailiffs can't do anything until he attends a hearing and presents his arguments    ignore. Andy
    • Sorry I didn’t think to come and update this.    So the outcome was that he went to court. Apparently the judge told the landlord off for not sending a letter before action but did nothing about it. He didn’t accept all the damages the landlord claimed, and told him off for accusing my friend of deliberately and maliciously damaging anything, and he awarded him small amounts of the damages he claimed for. The landlord had also made an awful lot of things up that never existed and accused my friend of stealing them, and the judge didn’t accept any of those claims.   However, I’m back asking advice now. So he made an offer of payment via the court forms, sometime before Christmas and straight after the hearing. The landlord didn’t reply so the court accepted the payments.  My friend has been paying the £10 a month each month. Then a couple of days ago he had received a letter from court with a hearing date in a couple of weeks, and a very irate letter from the landlord saying that my friend has consistently lied and that nothing he says should be believed, and that he wants the bailiffs to be called on him and that he absolutely refuses the payment plan. The letter is marked as received by the courts in December and this is the first that’s been sent since then. My friend and his wife are now panicked, what does this mean? And can they now get bailiffs sent round? He earns an ok wage, which somehow the landlord has referred to in his letter, but he equally has a lot of expenditure and can’t afford to pay any more. What will happen at this hearing and can they send out the bailiffs just because the landlord wants them to?    I have no clue what to advise him, can you help at all please?
    • Thanks Bank – I took your cynicism / experience on board and responded thus: Thank you for your response Mr Schnur  I set out my position quite clearly in my letter of claim and nothing has changed. Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands.

    • 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 work away a lot and have not been in the country to manage this situation.

I am back now for a while so would like to deal with this head on as best as possible.

 

Currently dealing with BWlegal/Lowells for an alledged debt from Barclaycard of approx £1500,

2 SD's issued and

I have sent a CCA request to BWL and a SAR to BC.

Spearate thread already opened.

 

I have just checked by Credit report and there are a number of inconsistancies and worrying data.

 

Strange default dates and charges applied by the DCA's,

where do i start with them?

 

do i SAR the original creditors?

some of them i dont even know what debt they relate to

as they seem to have applied charges recently even for debts 5years + old.

 

Companies include

Cabot,

1st credit,

Lowells,

Co-Op.

 

Some direction would help please, and if you want any more info please ask.

if the dca is listed as the owner of the debt

 

they can ONLY levy charges inline with the ORG T+C's.

 

an SAR always goes to the OC.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Some of these debts may be approaching 6 years without a payment or acknowledgment in writting being made.

If you can post suitably redacted copies of your credit file plus details of the debts we will be able to advise more easily.

Ok, lets do one at a time. This entry is for 1st credit, the balence says zero but the amount says around £1,250 ? The address is also wrong, and not one of my linked addresses. I have never heard from them about this debt, it is either not mine or an old one. Should I SAR 1st Credit? would like this removed and dealt with asap.

Ok, send the following to the Data Controller at 1st Credit with a copy of the CRA entry (btw have you checked all 3 main agencies?)

 

 

Ref: Inaccurate/False Credit Reference entry.

 

Sir,

 

I have recently checked my credit reference files held by xxxxxx credit reference agency and have found an entry made by 1ST Credit regarding an ''unsecured'' loan

please note I do not acknowledge any debt to 1ST Credit or any company you may claim to represent.

 

I require this entry and any others made on any credit reference agency files to be removed immediately for the following reasons:

 

1. I am not the debtor concerned and have no knowledge of any such debt.

2.At no time have I received any correspondence fromany company regarding any such alleged debt.

3. 1ST Credit have never contacted me in any way.

4. The address given on the file entry is not one I have ever resided at.

 

This damaging entry must be removed immediately from all files and you will confirm compliance within 7 working days, failing to do so will result in a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office regarding the publishing of incorrect data and a complaint to the OFT regarding the fitness of 1ST Credit to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

 

Send recorded delivery, check when they receive it.

 

This should put them on the back foot straight away.

Thanks for that, I will do that asap. I have not checked any other CRA's, but i guess i could do that today. Might they hold differing data?

Yes very possible that data may vary some creditors may report on any one or two agencies or on all 3 main ones.

Quite possibly, but i do not have any paperwork and I have certainly never received any correspondence from these people.

 

The credit record appears to show a loan taken out in 1997, then defaulted from July 2008. I am guessing that you would have known about such a long term unsecured loan arrangement if this was yours. Send Brigs letters, but be aware that if it turns out that this is your debt and it is not statute barred, it may trigger them asking for payment. If this happens then you should send them a CCA request.

We could do with some help from you.

I took out several loans around that period but certainly none of them would have been for such a long period. The default date is very very suspect too, I changed jobs in 04/08 and know that i was not making any payments for loans during that time.

Maybe because of the address being completely wrong and its not a linked address?

Just a quick one, is it relevant that the default balence says £0 ?

 

Yes indicates usually that the account has been sold on.

This should put them on the back foot straight away.

 

Ok try this to the Data Controllers of 1st Credit and all the CRAs showing entries.

 

Ref: as before.

 

Formal Complaint/Letter Before Action.

 

I attach herewith a copy of my communication dated 2nd. January 2013 regarding the alleged debt I hold 1st Credit entirely responsible for publishing false data on credit reference agencies in relation to the alleged debt originating from a Citi Credit card I have already made all parties aware of the following points.

 

1. I AM NOT THE DEBTOR CONCERNED.

2. AT NO TIME HAVE I BEEMN CONTACTED BY ANY COMPANY IN REGARD TO THE ALLEGED DEBT.

3.I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY LIABILTY TO 1ST CREDIT OR CITI.

4.I AM NOT NOW NOR EVER HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF CITI FINANCIAL

5. I HAVE NEVER RESIDED AT THE ADDRESS SHOWN.

I must remind you of the OFT Guidance 2003 updated 2012 and suggest that you read and digest the following sections Section 3.7 (e) Section 3.9 (a). and (b). and''.(i).and in particular Section 3.9 (j) States (deceptive & unfair methods...) Requiring a debtor to prove he is not the actual debtor who owes an outstanding debt. THIS IS CLEARLY and undenyably breached..

I am allowing 14 (fourteen) days from the date of this letter for 1st Credit to remove ALL data from ALL Credit Reference Files and to confirm this in writting.

Continued intransigence wether dilberate or due to gross incompetence WILL form a compalint to the OFT with a comment on the fitness of 1st Credit to hold a consumer credit licence, a report on the publishing of false and derogatory entries on credit files will be made to the ICO.

 

It becomes plainly obvious that 1st credit are to say the very least incompetent and also vexatious in the way it has conducted this matter from the beggining and should now seriously consider its stance on this matter and look to financial redress for the stress, time and cost I have incurred in dealing with this,also it should consider redress for the damage to my credit profile.

 

For clarification and the avoidance of misunderstanding, I am not the debtor concerned, I do not acknowledge any such debt to any party.

This is a Formal Complaint/letter before action you have 14 days to comply with my instructions, failure WILL lead to further action.

 

amend to suit as copies to the CRAs.

update.

 

Sent a CCA to 1st Credit on the 7th Jan,

received a letter today from them dated 30th Jan!

 

They say they have reverted to the original creditor for the information,

and that they are unable to adhere to the 12+2 stipulation in the CC act.

 

They also mention that at this stage the debt is unenforceable and that they have placed the account on temporary hold.

 

They also say they are the legal owners of the debt and they have enclosed a Notice of Assignment,

this appears to have come from the original creditor dated a day before I sent the CCA!

 

Any thoughts?

 

I get the feeling the notice of assignment is something 1st credit have constructed

seeing as its dated before i even sent the CCA.

The NOA should be the FIRST contact after the debt was sold, it has nothing to do with the CCA request.
