    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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.

It looks like Marlin have been busy buying all sorts of "last chance" debts, either SB or soon to be SB.

 

I got a letter from BC late last week with an NOA for Marlins, all of the details on the NOA pertain to BC incl a BC account number.

 

Funniest thing, I've never ever had a BC acount and had placed my original account in Dispute long before BC bought it (still unfulfilled CCA request)

 

account has been dead for at least five and a half years, will become SB at the back end of the year

 

will await further contact from Marlin with interest

Welcome to the club Spamhead

 

OH received exactly the same last week (along with several others I notice) from Marlins, yesterday the phone calls started ( we were out :) ), dont know how they got our number, we're exdirectory - all the time Egg were chasing they couldn't phone us because they didnt have our number.

 

Think this may go the same way as Debenhams Store Cards converting to Credit Cards (re: change of account numbers)

Hi beachy

 

Not aware of the Debenhams store card issue - how did that play out?

Hi beachy

 

Not aware of the Debenhams store card issue - how did that play out?

 

A few years ago Debenhams 'upgraded' some customers store cards to credit cards without agreement with the customers (new account numbers but no new agreements or signatures),

Messers. Cohen's issued a court claim against OH, but he had major issues as there was no 'paper trial' between the original agreement & the new account number. They decided to discontinue :-)

Well, am glad I'm not the only one! I've started a separate thread about my situation, but it sounds very similar - basically I received a NOA from Barclaycard last week apparently relating to an Egg account that defaulted almost four years ago and has had no action on it since (requested a CCA at that point, received nothing). I intend to ignore Marlin for as long as possible as the account will become SB in just over two years' time, and I can't imagine they will be willing/able to comply with any CCA request that I might make at this stage...

It does sound as if the options are:

  • To immediately declare to them that the account is in default to the OC and has been so for quite some time and let them flap their gums around it
  • To send them a prove it letter on the basis that I have never (ever) had a BC account of any kind and let them attempt to enforce or at least provide some kind of paper trail
  • To ignore them and let them dig themselves a hole by making demands on a non existent account
  • Wait until they begin a court action for the non existent account and go after them for costs
  • To pay them lots of money that they have no entitlement to (only joking)

I shall ponder over these options for a while

I would send the prove it letter, as the account numbers are different and in my case, the only account i've ever had with Barclays has been written off as it is stat barred.

Don't ignore Marlin, that's what they want you to do, so they can issue a Claim, hoping you ignore that as well.

You must report Marlin to the OFT if they step out of line, the OFT were very interested in Marlin after the despatches documentary.

I have no intention of allowing these parasites to obtain judgement against me, however OFT are neither use nor ornament when it comes to Debt Collection.

 

At the moment they haven't actually done anything other than buy a load of accounts, as far as they are concerned they are acting in good faith.

 

Once they have been informed that they have bought a pup, depending on their actions from that point onwards, this will dictate my own actions

I would contact Markings i have heard tales of them sending things to the wrong address and hence getting judgement by default

 

Since the address hasn't changed and all mail (such as there has been) has come to the correct address including the initial contact letter from Marlins and the NOA doc from B/C, this is absolute proof that they know the correct address and it is very unlikely that Marlin would attempt such a foolish act, given that the deception would be obvious and easily proven.

 

Because the paper trail clearly includes the correct address, setting aside such a spurious claim would be childsplay and would also merit a nice claim for costs against Marlin

Doesn't mean they won't try it. I have a friend who had a letter of claim sent to an address that she had never lived in.

 

I am not disputing this, I know of several companies who have a habit of acting similarly, I ammerely stating that iin this case t would be the simplest set-aside ever recorded and they would get my nomination for this years cupid stunts award

Haven't seen the letter yet, but Marlins have sent me their first letter, no doubt promising me all kinds of ill should I fail to give them monies that they have no entitlement to.

 

I suppose my first action should be a prove it letter, coz I've never had any account with Barclaycard and the account number matches no other account in my history
