    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . dx

    • 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.

Can you tell us if the letter re PPI was the result of an enquiry about reclaiming PPI? Has this been taken further?

 

I think they’re wrong in stating that you need to contact the insurer, because either GE or their broker sold it to you.

The letter regarding PPI was actually to try and claim on it as my father was out of work. Surprise surprise it had run out so he couldn't claim. It never went any further.

 

The solicitor costs might have been the beginning of court proceedings but maybe it didn't get that far? He can't remember :-/ sorry.

Good Morning all,

 

Has anyone had any thoughts about our options when it comes to paying our current arrangement, or more to the point, not paying our current arrangement?

 

I imagine not a lot can happen now until we get the SARs through, and then we can start calculating what we feel we are owed?

I think the point i made earlier has been missed here (apart from DB) hence my suggestion to check the Land Registry

 

This is a Mortgage secured.

They dont need a CCJ.

The CO was placed at the time of the application (Standard)

The Sols fees are not reclaimable that is the process of a secured loan.

 

Nothing can be done Sheila until you are furnished with the DSAR.I assume the debt has now been paid and only arrears are outstanding.

Its your choice to stop payment as from now or wait until you can quantify the unfair charges and then make a claim.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Yup, totally agree. There’s no legal action in place. You need the details from the SAR now to work out what is going on with this suspicious ‘extra’ account with a balance they reckon you owe.

 

Also worth researching a bit on PPI reclaims in the meantime. As I mentioned earlier, there could be more than £5k up for reclaiming here.

The Sols fees are not reclaimable that is the process of a secured loan. Even though the solicitor fees were in Feb 2005 & May 2005, not when the loan was taken out? (Sorry I don't understand why they are lawful because it's a secured loan).

Its your choice to stop payment as from now or wait until you can quantify the unfair charges and then make a claim.Do you think we would be penalised for not paying, or not paying as much (or at least end up in a worse situation? I am going to send a letter today to explain that we are cancelling the direct debit and that we will manage the payments.

DonkeyB - yes we will go down the route of both unlawful charges and missold PPI :)

 

Thanks all for your help. I had come to the conclusion that I was going to have to get a loan to pay this balance off for my father, but with a bit of luck it won't come to that :).

I was going to go down the hardship route and found this template,

I started to modify it but now wonder if it's necessary. Whilst he is in hardship is it worth it now, the interest has built up and up anyway?

 

I was also going to make a point that he was in hardship and that any further payments would be a token payment but suddenly felt I was getting in above my head..

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

Request for Consideration as a Case in Financial Difficulty (Hardship).

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I refer to the Lending Code guidelines to which you subscribe, issued in March 2011.

 

Due to being made redundant, I have been experiencing serious Financial Difficulty since 21st January 2013.

 

I request that you stop adding interest and default charges to the above account. The interest and charges serve only to add to the Financial Difficulties I am currently experiencing. In this connection, I draw your attention to paragraphs 224 - 227 in Section 9 of the Lending Code.

 

This letter serves as notice that the current Direct Debit is to be cancelled with immediate effect and continued payment will be without prejudice and by another method.

Please provide me with another payment method, a paying in book would be preferred.

 

Please give this matter your urgent consideration.

 

Yours faithfully,

" Even though the solicitor fees were in Feb 2005 & May 2005, not when the loan was taken out? (Sorry I don't understand why they are lawful because it's a secured loan)."

 

I wasn't aware that they were later in the process..so yes if there is no reason or incident for their involvement at this date then query the charges.

 

" Do you think we would be penalised for not paying, or not paying as much (or at least end up in a worse situation? I am going to send a letter today to explain that we are cancelling the direct debit and that we will manage the payments."

 

Difficult to advise there is no way I can predict what action they may seek...they all ready have their charge....depends on how and when they can execute.I agree that the DD must be stopped and you control payment manually.

Thanks andy

OK I shall continue to pay the loan at the current arrangement (£200 a month). The current arrangement runs out at the end February, it was set up on the phone and they only agreed for 3 months.

They might start action then? We'll wait and see.

 

When you say execute, does that mean they take him to court to claim repossession their outstanding balance through the sale of the property?

There is no CCJ connected to the Charging order...the CO acts only as security (the Property) against the loan...perhaps execute was the wrong word..options open could be Bailiff/ Bankruptcy ....forced sale would be the very last resort IMHO.

Hypothetical scenarios Sheila ...they may not do anything thats why you need to wait for the DSAR and raise a dispute and challenge them.

Ok sorry to be hypothetical - I imagine conjuring up the worst case scenario is why most people just pay up.

 

We will carry on paying at the current rate and wait for the DSAR to come back. Thanks Andy,

The DSAR has come back from GE Money. Much sooner than I imagined!

It's like a phonebook but I've had a flick through and mangaged to find a mention of court.

 

I've scanned the letters in and uploaded.

I'm waiting for GE Money to get back with a settlement figure for the outstanding balance. I am likely to go down the route of obtaining a loan to pay the outstanding balance, so at least we can get the deeds back and the charge removed.

Then we will make our claim for PPI and unlawful charges.

 

Thanks,

S.
