    • Hi all,        I really need to start my own thread on this Claim with Overdales/Lowell for a Cap One debt. but have already got to this stage .. My initial question for the moment - until replies come in - is that I figure my main stance is that a purchased debt cannot be claimed, debts can only be claimed by the original issuer of the debt .. but mediation is about coming to an agreement. So would I be acting in bad faith if I enter into mediation yet not seeking to come to a financial agreement? Also, I need to reject the scheduled time slot and ask for another as I'm not going to be free during those hours. The wording of the email gives the impression that I am given this one slot and if I reject it, then I am rejecting mediation - there is no mention of rescheduling, only of freeing up the slot for others .. although, I would have thought it would say so, if there were no possibility to reschedule.. Can I ask for another date without issue?   Anyway, if it's more helpful, I am happy to post up my defence and start a proper thread? I had a lot on at the time and had to do things right away due to the time limits, so didn't feel I had time to come here and go back and forth for info, so put my defence together from reading through relevant threads, late at night. CCA request appears to have been fulfilled (I'm still to check the accuracy of the documents). The other thing, asking solicitors about the particulars of the claim, hasn't .. although I forgot to ask for proof of postage and didn't send recorded post either (whereas the CCA I did), so not sure if I can pursue that easily ..?  
    • Looking for a bit of assistance. I moved into a rented flat on 20th April 2024. I viewed it on the 14th April. Before I moved into the flat, the letting agency provided me with an offer sheet, in said offer sheet I made a number of requests and conditions related to me progressing with assuming the tenancy. These were: 1. A professional clean of the flat prior to move in date. 2. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet be replaced prior to move in date. These were all planned actions by the landlord when I viewed it. I could see the boxes for the hob and other items in the flat. I prepared to move in on the 20th April but none of the work mentioned in the offer sheet had been completed. The standard of the clean was abysmal - mouldy food left in the fridge, nothing wiped down, bathroom mouldy etc. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were also not installed. I decided to not officially move into the flat as it was not in a condition as promised, my partner lives relatively close by so I lived with her initially. It was only on the 24th April that the hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were installed. The cleaners visited again 2 weeks after move in date (3rd April) and attempted another clean of the flat. Again, it was a poor job. I resorted to cleaning the flat myself. I have numerous pictures of the things I identified during my clean and have sent this all to the letting agency. Because of the issues faced, I asked the letting agency that the rent be reduced for the initial month. Exactly halved - to represent the 2 weeks that I was not living at the property. The landlord and letting agency have responded by saying that they will be willing to accept 1 weeks rent as a deduction but not 2. My question is, am I in a strong position to insist on the 2 weeks rent returned or have I been fortunate that they have even offered a weeks rent as a deduction? I would like to insist on the 2 weeks. I have paid the 2 weeks only as my rent collection date passed 2 days ago. Thank you for any assistance. Any further relevant details required let me know and I will provide.

    • 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.

sounds good, if you're happy, and better if they will accept a plan (they didn't say whether it had to be a lump sum?)

Okay, thank you for the comments as always

 

I want a F&F settlement with no admittance of liability, no court order and a payment plan.

 

Is it as simple as negotiating this including a discontinuance; or does it have to go to court?

 

Can it go to court and the court orders a no liability order? (is there even such a thing :) )

 

Is it safer to actually go through the court for this settlement?

 

Too many questions... I know.. but I appreciate all the feedback.

Is it as simple as negotiating this including a discontinuance; or does it have to go to court? If you go with the above the claim is stayed...you wont get a discontinuance...its already in court

 

Can it go to court and the court orders a no liability order? (is there even such a thing :) ) No such thing

 

Is it safer to actually go through the court for this settlement? The Tomlin Order or Consent is sealed by the court

One last thing (hopefully)

 

If I get a settlement with a payment plan, through court, is it admittance and therefore I get a ccj or is it classed as something else with no negative record ( as long as payment is made)??

No its an agreement to halt litigation...the claim is stayed until (if) you breach the terms of the Tomlin Order then judgment is applied (if thats in the terms of the schedule)

All clear Andy thanks.

 

Read up on TO as well so understand where I need to take this.

 

Will be asking for a TO, payment plan and a reduction of their offer settlement sum.

 

I think the Strike Out request has shaken them along with the WS they say they have not recieved.

 

Well thats my theory anyway!!

 

Thanks for your help as always everyone and I will let you know how we progress this.

I am sending them a proposal settlement today and will set out my terms (it will give me an indication of how shaky they think the ground is under their case now- or just how kean they are to get rid of me!!).

 

If they agree (or we negotiate to an agreement) to a TO, I understand a schedule and order is drafted. Would you be able to look over it for me if I draw it up?

 

Appreciated as always

You can propose a TO but its the claimant that drafts the schedule (initially) you can agree or disagree and add input though. Dont post any details of the schedule here Alloyz as the terms of the schedule are private and that in its self would be a breach.:wink:

Negotiations ongoing

 

Started with their demand at £14'000 plus, then £5'000 now £4'500 now.

 

I have shown willing increased my offers £2'700, £3'000 and now £3'250 with TO.

 

Hopefully agree shortly and sealed by court.

 

Would there be a cost implication in all this or could I/ should I mention that as part of my negotiations?

The defendant may be expected to meet the cost of the TO £40....but you should be requesting that parties stand their costs in the case so far.

Quick update and I am aware they are probably tuned in to this thread!

 

Negotiations stuck! They have dug their heals in and are not prepared to negotiate any further.

 

I will await a trial date for the set aside and strike out, which they have stated they will not oppose the set aside but will defend the strike out

The hearing on 1st Oct is the set aside hearing, which they have said they will not object to, but will object to the strike out.

 

So I presume there will be a separate hearing for the original claim if it is set aside?

 

It would be great to settle it before, because of some of the stories I've read!!
