    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Thanks for the heads up CB this is too much so where is the independence of the CRAs.

 

AG are becoming sinister as the Pimpernel says, with this scenario and the mortgage shortfall debts that are surfacing it's essential that any suspect action by AG Guernsey and the UK Ltd. company are reported to the appropriate regulators.

Playing devils advocate here. But the letter from Call Credit may just be a commercial opportunity which CC are allowed to make. No doubt AG have paid CC for the service of sending these letters. Other DCA's may also taken up CC's offer to send the letters.

 

I don't think there is any legislation which specifically governs what services the CRA's are permitted or not permitted to offer to creditors. Providing they meet DPA requirements, CRA's would be allowed to send these letters, as there is no requirement for them to be just an independent registrar of credit records. The letter is just providing information and does not suggest that the debtor contacts AG.

 

There is a problem if the letter is factually incorrect and has been produced as a result of false data. The ICO won't be interested, unless CC have been given the opportunity to explain their processing of inaccurate data.

We could do with some help from you.

Working with Experian too.

 

New computer program in place where they can easily trace all your debts. For a debt buyer they can then place every debt you have with one DCA. Think about that. Everything you owe being chased by one DCA. And the chosen DCA's wont be the incompentant ones they will be the ones that extract the most money. And thats why AG have been helping Experian to develop it. 12 companys signed up to use it already.

 

AG's stated aim is to put all their debts owed by one person to one DCA. The idea is all creditors use the same DCA. Creditors are braodly in agreement with this and hence why certain DCA's are growing at such a rate and some of the less savoury ones of old are gradually declining in prominence. Its because the creditors (debt buyers included) are placing debts with fewer and fewer DCA's

 

If they decide to litigate it wont be for one account it will be all. Think about that. Up to your eyeballs in debt but equity in your house. Or a job or any asset. Or you are just not in a position to pay all so they bankrupt you.

 

And remember the new regulatory enviroment is about screening out cant pays and vunerable people. (Think pre litigation drivel in letters. They have to try and screen out vunerable people.) Its also about with the regulators approval litigating on wont pays. If you have assets and you are in debt and you refuse to engage with these companies then you will be classed as a wont pay. Think i & e forms. Advice is to not fill out. That advice is now saying dont engage. Quite possibly moving a debtor from the vunerable or cant pay pile to the wont pay pile.

 

The establishment have been very busy changing the rules. The CRA's were never our friend. They just didnt have the information behind them or the technology available to be used in the way they were always intended.

 

Every time we access Experian this is reported to this computer program. Looks like Noddle are going the same way and would suspect Equifax wont be far behind.

 

CRA's are part of the industry that is busy stiffing us all. Why does anyone think they would be independant.

 

As time progresses more people will be finding they are fighting less DCA's who know more about them.

 

Sometimes by watching the opposition you can see them reacting to how your side is fighting.

After signing up to Experian, that's when my problems started. It's a tool for the finance industry and for them only. Fluffy adverts with ukuleles playing in the background is typical of Monster Companies trying to sanitise their operations.

 

Any TV ad's featuring strumming away on a Ukulele is a precursor to avoid them. TV Ads with animated characters such as the weird British Gas ones - avoid.

And reading that letter again.

 

Better than a threat o gram from a DCA. Dont forget AG are debt buyers. They use an unusual model in that they dont have inhouse DCA but farm accounts out to other DCA's.

 

That letter there isnt a threat its a letter saying we are watching you know about you but maybe you should contact a debt charity for help. See my post above. Everything pre litigation will be along the lines of trying to help and understand your situation. The fact the debtor chooses not to engage makes them a wont pay. This letter is about trying to get you to pay.

 

Cant see ICO being interested. AG own your information. You signed up to this being shared when you took credit. They are trying to engage or help and thus cover their asses further down the line. AG have authorised this letter. Unless as UB says its wrong in fact then cant see its any different from a DCA writing to you. And we dont complain to the ICO about them everytime they write.

 

Also by offering free access to noddle they are also asking you to show where you are and if you are active. Clever letter IMO.

If a creditor or DCA has no reason to search credit reference files registering with a CRA and checking your own files

is not going to have any effect, if however the data subject has ''problem'' accounts that may have fallen in to the hands

of a DCA they will already be accessing the files.

Since signing up with experian, I have been receiving DCA letters from people with my name but stores cards et al I have never had such as a Debenhams card, Next and a string of catalogue shyte. They don't get the message that I have never had these cards / accounts. I have had to install a call blocker app on my mobile to rid of these **** that just don't listen. This has all happened around 3-4 weeks after signing up with Experian which I must add have cancelled. Pretty little dials and crap to suck you in, that's all it's about useful for. Other than that I am 100% convinced that after signing up, this is when DCA's trawl through these databases looking for names and hitting them all. Follow the money and look who owns these credit scoring agencies.

I just can't see politicians regulating the CRA's in a way that stops them working with creditors. The reason for this, is that when the banking crisis happened in 2007/08, politicians were criticising the credit rating industry for not holding accurate data. Because the data was not accurate they were making mistakes in lending to people who could not afford to make repayments.

 

I think Kens post makes sense as to what is happening. CRA's may be actively working with DCA's to provide them with more data to help them with their collection activities. I have regularly pointed out that CRA's notify DCA's of any changes to credit records and someone has posted to say that this does not happen.

We could do with some help from you.

I've been involved in the CRAs and ethics for some considerable time there has been concerns raised in Parliament regarding the CRA and relationships with DCAs, this is going to be raised again, once again the DCAs ask for information, search files but the data changes are only found in this way.

Some of us have long suspected that the CRA are in league with the debt collection industry. To many people have stated they start getting correspondents from past creditors after subscribing to the credit agencies and their so called free trials. I think that letter above goes some way substantiate that reasoning.

 

The credit agencies are a commercial entity and i have no doubt in my own opinion the credit agencies offer some sort of subscription service to its members on changes to personal credit files. Even though unconfirmed, People will be naive to think different.

I believe proof is in the pudding. My partner has never had credit, she signed up a little over 18 months ago and has two 'chancer' inquiries from DCA's since hassling her mobile phone (we have got well rid of since but took over 7 months). CRAs DO provide DCAs information, correct or not they DO. Me, I still get the odd DCA begging letter every two months or so.

 

Oh, and this isn't limited to DCAs, it seems the CRAs provide PPI and Accident companies information to. I had a flood of these as did my partner call us on a regular basis. TPS is useless!

Got to be honest chaps, Ive always thought that this was bound to happen sometime.

Banks, lending firms, DCAs, CRAs, even the so-called debt "charities" like StepChange, even some County Court Judges have to be viewed with a great amount of suspicion simply due to the fact that they all have a common cause.

It was only a matter of time before some amalgamation occured.

I would suggest that this is only a first step along the line of dealing with the billions of £s of consumer debt. Before we know it, a huge amount of the countrys private housing stock will be partly-owned by the Finance Industry in co-operation with the Government. Legislation will be passed "in the interests of the country" to make CCJs and COs an almost automated process - heavily in favour of the Finance Industry. It may well take a few years yet, but I think weve all just seen the first step.

Exactly Merlin, Judges work for the Crown, the crown represents the finance industry at it highest point. We are all being aligned to be ruled by the banks in just about every part of our lives. Judges are meant to be impartial - what an oxymoron! They represent the finance industry primarily.

But thats the thing.

 

The majority of posters dont come onto CAG just for a larf. They come on because they have a problem. So if its a debt related problem then they are most likely to have problem accounts. Checking that file just does what you have said and Magna alludes to. It alerts the very people you dont want alerting to the fact you exist and are around and much worse are active.

 

CRA's are nothing to be scared of if your credit worthiness is fine. The industry has been clever and sold this meaningless number as your credit score. To keep up with the Jones we all try and sign up and bleeding hell pay for giving them the information they need to chase us if things go wrong.

 

Biggest thing to inprove your credit rating. Oh yes electoral roll. Why? hmmmm an active address for you.

 

Like Magna says all bells and whistles and suck us in. Experian is the posh nobs CRA. Even the adverts worked on envy. Only if your rich could you possibly afford paying £14 a month for a number that means nothing. Either rich or stupid. Only the poor would use Noddle. Or how about set about creating 3 distinct CRA's which appeal to different types of people. Then you get the majority of people signed up to one and get your information that way. Think about it. Created by the finance industry to keep tabs on everyone of us. In time I suspect the people who pay everything back ontime and therefore dont accrue interest will be treated the same as the people who get defaults. Because they dont make the bank money. They are a waste of time accounts.

 

CRA's are part of the finance industry. Accessing them when in debt is fraught with downsides. And reading up on what the industry intends, it is only going to get worse.

i must disagree that judges are in league with the crown.

 

The judiciary are kept separate from the crown, this is through Judicial independence

 

We are talking of constitutional law and co-operation between the two will not happen to prevent an abuse of power

Big article in Credit Today a couple of months ago about the Experian computer model that had been developed with AG. Not unconfirmed was there in black and white. Data sharing of all your debtors activity to enable you to place your debt with the DCA which has most of the debtors debt already along with activity of the debtor themselves.

 

Think it went live in March this year.

 

A CRA access of your own account. Why record it if its of no use??? Think about it. A debtor who is checking up on themselves. Why do people do that. If your not indebt doubt you even really think about your credit file. Let alone access it. So the majority of people accessing their own date are inquisitive just to look see, in debt or perhaps in a post debt cleaning up their file.

 

But the vast majority looking at their files are people worried about their credit score and therefore people probably in financial distress.

Is it not odd that the Civil Judiciary are maligned by the who have a CCJ or CO order against them but a not praised when a defendant is successful in court.

 

The Judiciary I find are fair and reasonable and fiercely independent of Government and Industry as a whole, but as with any judicial system there is always going to be the odd bad apple.
