    • Thank you BankFodder. I will do as you suggest to get everything in writing first and will construct the letter of claim over the weekend. Is it best to use the format for the letter of claim as the one on this website? Lastly, did I read the judgement correctly for the Farooq judgement as its not quite clear to me which act I am covered best by?
    • A letter of claim can't be served by email as per CPR 6.3 unless you've specifically told them. Also can't give you 7 days to pay, they've got to give at least 14 days. They know this, they're just hoping you wet yourself and cough up. This won't be going anywhere. IGNORE.
    • Good Morning, I received a speeding ticket last December, I had requested further information from the ticket office which they provided, I also sent back the form confirming i was the diver at the time, however, i had overlooked the signature at the bottom of the page, nobody from the ticket office got back in touch to mention this and i was trying to book a course with no luck, I got in touch with them and sent them a screenshot showing them I was unable to book the course, they came came back to me and said we have no documents to say you were the driver (they did they just failed to mention I never signed it) they re sent the form and it was over the 120 days, i had mentioned to them previously that the timeframe was coming up and they would need to extend this. They are now saying they have complied legally and i need to accept the 3 points, I am trying to plead my case and I am tempted to let this go to court and provide the evidence of my constant communication on the matter. has anyone got any experience with this? TIA.
    • Thank you. I'm looking into it at the moment.  Straight away it says last sold in 2007. Thank you every one for all your help. It's much appreciated. 
    • Just on bankfodder's final point above. The Title Register you get online for £3 can't legally be used as proof of ownership for the property. Right now they'll suffice to see if there's an asset there. Should you need to use it in court to say he's trading at that address, you'll need to fill out an OC1 form with HM Land Registry to get an official copy in the post, which costs £7.00. Make sure that you get the Title Register, not the Title Plan! Title Register will tell you who owns the property etc while the Title Plan will tell you the property boundaries etc which isn't relevant in this case.

    • 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 a couple of "accounts" with Lowell (one for £507.43 and one for £512.56) which I was paying off at £10 per month per account (all I can afford) .

 

When I checked my credit file I noticed that the Defaults that I have for these debts will drop off my file in 2015,

whereas I'd still be paying them off 2 years after that.

 

last month, rightly or wrongly (probably wrongly :| ) I thought whats the point of paying them, as I have Defaults for them anyway so it can't really get worse.

 

I now have been getting threatening letters from Hamptons Legal which I assume is the same Company, and probably same Desk as Lowell lol

But they are threatening CCJ's etc

 

I was just wondering what I should do regarding this really?

 

Start paying again?

 

Ignore them?

 

The original accounts/debts were with Barclaycard and Orange and I know that probably half of the debt amount is made up of charges/interest

as I remember the credit limit on the Barclaycard was only £260 at the time, and now I owe £507.43 on that one.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.. and feel free to tell me how stupid I am for stopping payments if you feel I am stupid lol

As you have been paying Lowell you have admitted liability for the debts.

As DX said try a CCA to |Lowell for both debts.

What does a CCA do? Sorry, I'm not very clued up about this

 

A lawful request made under sections 77.&78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, reqiures the DCA/Creditor to supply within 12+2 Working days a copy of the regulated consumer credit agreement and any documents metioned in the agreement and a current statement of the account, there is a £1 statutory fee for this. The request should be addressed to the Compliance Manager at the head office of the DCA.

There is a template in the CAG library.

Hi SiBaY,

 

Make the CCA request as suggested - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?414-CCA-request-letter

 

If you have all your old a/c statements, use a site spreadsheet to list all the penalty charges. Use this one but change the APR to 24.9% - http://www.shweb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/interestcalcs.xls

 

If you don't have all your old statements (or at least all of those where you think you may have paid penalty charges), you can apply for them using an SAR - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?552-Data-Protection

Hi, It has taken all this time to get a response from Barclaycard.. They have sent a "reconstituted copy" of my credit agreement (no signature on it) and it has my current address on the agreement, and not the one I was living at when I took out the card. Surely this isnt right?

I think I'm confusing myself now lol

Do I now need to write to them again saying that the copy of the credit agreement they have sent me is not valid? (or is it valid) I have defaults popping up from Lowell left right and centre and have never received one through the post in my life. Last month my credit file said 3 Defaulted accounts, now it says 6.. which I find very odd.

Hi, That is not a compliant Recon! It MUST contain the following data.

1. The name and address of the account holder at the inception of the agreement.

2. The name and address of the creditor at the inception of the agreement.

3 The Ts & Cs at the inception of the agreement.

4. Any Changes/amendments to the Ts & Cs during the life of the agreement.

5. The Ts & Cs as at the termination of the agreemen.

 

A signature is not required.
