    • Thank you to you all, you guys are amazing!! Yes of course i will be making a donation, i am very grateful to you all. Keep up the good work
    • I'm not quite out of the woods yet. The email they sent me also said that I have £290 of arrears and it has been passed onto their collections department. If anything my account should be £10 in credit.  They haven't taken into account the trainers that were returned back in October. The other items have been credited to my account so it looks like I've still got work to do.  They are not very quick to reply to emails, although I've only sent one trying to find more information, and I have no idea what happens next. Half of me want's to get it sorted properly the other half just wants it over with, if that means a default then so be it. 
    • No. It's a public (council maintained) road with some houses in it.   Some other houses back onto it too and those owners have right of way down the road to access the back of their properties.  Theres a few garages with private osp - so one drives out the garage, over the osp, and onto the public side road and then out on to the public main road.  Irrespective of whether the garages are used - the local businesses parking their cars on the private osp are ostensibly preventing cars from accessing the public roads.
    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?

    • 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.

Get that CCA request off ASAP.

 

While it is outstanding they can not enforce. they will have to go to the OC to get a copy of the original as well as the terms from inception and terms from default.

 

Obviously they can provide a recon i.e no signatures but it must be a true copy.

 

For the sake of £1 + signed for delivery it is worth it.

 

How long is it since you last made a payment? If it is only a short time it may be worth trying to set up a payment plan again. As you say you do not want a CCJ on your file.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Get the legal requests off. Right now, they have only sent a threatogram. Processed for legal action is the same as saying IF, May, might etc etc. Notice how they dont go into detail on what this suppossed legal action is.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

if they've offered numerous discounts

this always makes me wonder WHY?

 

can you scan up the agreement you currently have please?

 

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

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!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

There is no " restriction" as far as I know on the OCs entry showing the account settled/satisfied along side the debt purchasers updated entry, this reflects the true conduct of the account, you can request the OC to remove their entry.

Mark as long as the "new owner" of the debt has an entry showing the correct default date all is well, if the OCs entry remains and has incorrect data then a complaint to the OCs Data Controller is the right approach.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

CCA Request has been sent. I did think it was strange that they keep on making offers on the account, I am hoping it is not out of the goodness of their heart, but rather, they do not have the right documentation, so they can"t enforce it! I am just in the middle of trying to get the scanned pic of the letter they sent me

The fact that the agreement was dated may 2007 suggests that they would have a good chance of enforcing this .

 

The discounts which seem to be in the region of 25% may just mean they would rather have a fat profit in their hand now than a slow income stream .

 

Remember that for a £6000 debt they will probably have paid less that £1000

 

although I understand that the value of debts is increasing

 

i.e buyers are having to pay more.

 

If that is the case there is still a potential quick profit of 3500 for them .

 

Nice little earner if you can get it.

Hi Markstone.

 

No need to react to the letter because the CCA request has been made, although you could point this out to CapQuest if you want.

IMO, Yes, they will know they have failed to send the CCA, so the account is in dispute.

 

I feel it may be pointless reminding them of this just yet. Wait until, if at all, you get any other begging letters off them, or anyone else, then you can respond by sending the ''failed'' letter.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Ok Guys, just an update on this continuing saga.

I had a letter this morning from Capquest, saying that they have not been able to obtain my requested document from the original creditor Barclays Partner Finance ( My CCA request ) and therefore they recognize that this debt is not enforceable. Should they ever get the document in the future, the debt becomes enforceable again. But if BPF have not sent it by now, I am guessing, its not likely they ever will ( they have had 3 or 4 months to find it )

 

 

So all in all, good news..........for now!

Yup, sounds like good news, for now although this is not going to help get adverse CRA data removed. :-(

It is possible that at some point in the future they may try to send some form of recon (this happened to me with CL finance after they were bought) . This may or may not technically fulfil their cca request liabilities. However if that does happen you would need to look at it very very closely as I for one would be suspicious .

 

Overall yes it is good news. I assume that you have stopped paying , so fingers crossed now until the SB date
