    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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.

That is sad. However, I have found various forums where people have given detailed accounts of judges tossing out BW Legals cases, on the day, because BWL themselves have "No right to be persuing debts, of this nature, in this way".. Particularly from November 2012 through to present.

 

It also seems that BWL's interpersonal skills are the subject of many complaints, even to the extent of people being intimidated in the court lobby!! Just awful!

there are numerous Lowell/bw legal sd threads here exactly the same.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

s.7 County Court proceedings are the only appropriate avenue for dealing with disputed CCA debt, (which could range from s.78 non compliance, flawed default notice etc) A set aside hearing is only 30-45 mins long normally, so is wholly unsuited to debating a CCA 1974 disputed debt.

 

Do stop calling them though. Did you speak with either Rohan or Bilal? Makes not much difference though....... :)

 

If you like instant communication, you can always email them ;)

Hi quails. I only phoned them back because A) I realised that I didn't even know my own account ref: and B) Because I really needed to get some of the account-handlers claims on tape.

Everything from now on, goes through the post. :-D

 

The guy I spoke to was called Adilam (I'm not sure how to spell that) I obviously have his surname, but I won't be putting it on here...

Hi Guys, I'm a little confused.

 

I've got the CCA and the SAR, ready to go. I will send both by recorded delivery, after work, today. But I'm not sure whether I still need to apply to have this Statutory Demand set aside?

I've never actually recieved one, contrary to whatever BWL claim, so do I need to go to the County Court? if so, what forms to I need to prepare?

Or, should I just wait until they've sent me a copy of this process servers' account of the 'serving', and dispute the obviously inaccurate evidence on there?

Without a copy of the statutory demand, its going to be hard to make the application as you have to enclose a copy.

 

The forms you need when you do get a copy are here:

. gov. uk statutory-demands/challenge-a-statutory-demand

(I cant do links yet, so type that into address and remove spaces)

Since last year, the 'affidavit' has become a 'witness statement' and you no longer have to 'swear' the document. Just sign as a statement of truth. (although confusingly, the 6.4 form still states "sworn on XX". Ignore that)

6.4 is the application form. 6.5 is the witness statement.

How can you set aside an SD that was incorrectly served on a third party, that was supposed to be for you ?

I don't think you can.

If they were silly enough to go for a bankruptcy, with a statement from a process server which confirmed that the SD went to a third party, the Judge would have a fit, with BW Legal given a b*llocking.

Think I would just do the CCA and SAR for now. BW Legal will probably issue another SD in due course, which you can then set aside.

We could do with some help from you.

Just a quick question - when you talked to them, did you actually tell them what you really do look like? Wouldn't put it past them to use your own description in a 'revised' process server statement...

Hi DonkeyB,

 

No I didn't but, even if I had, I've got the conversation recorded; during which he attempted to discribe me and failed miserably by the second point.

 

If he's altered anything, I'll be able to highlight it, immediately! :-)

Hi DonkeyB.

Good idea! How do I remove text? Or do I need to delete the whole posts?

Haha! That's what I thought!

I'll go about having witness statements written up by my neighbour, who has cause to remember that I wasn't in on the day, and the manager of the site I was visiting. I also have a GPRS record on the company database, that i've pulled and printed, that proves that I HAD to be at the site!

I will send them copies of all of these and expect an apology in writing.

Then I will take my case of blaitant DPA infringement, False information and improper practice (Abuse of the legislation) to the courts.

I want their CCL!!!:evil:

Hi! Want to hear something Incredible???

I recorded the conversation with the person handling my 'case' on Wed, as I already said, he tried to tell me what I looked like (Supposedly reading from section A of them process servers' account) But stopped when I informed him that the description of 'me' was incorrect.

Today, I have received a copy of the "Certificate of personal service Of Statutory Demand"

In section A: 'Insert description of the person etc...' All descriptions have been removed

AND section G: 'Give particulars of the way in which the debtor acknowledged service of the demand' THE ENTIRE SECTION HAS BEEN DELETED, leaving only the brackets within which there used to be a statement of the event.

Because I have the phone call recorded, I now have irrefutable proof that this document (Which they have said they intend to use as evidence in a County Court) has been tampered with, since Wednesday.

What the HELL is going on?

They have handed me a water tight case of DPA infringement and, i believe, attempting to pervert the course of justice (on the grounds that they intended to use this document as legal evidence)

What are your thoughts, what would you do now?

I would record another call... ask why there are bits missing from the form. See how much they fib.

Did you expect anything less?

Yes, perverting the course of justice. Provably so, IMHO.

You should also insist that the original, not a copy, is produced in any court hearing.

I'm sending a photocopy of what's been sent to me with a copy of the voice file, time-stamped, and notification that I have also sent copies to be added to the case with the OFT, and TS.

Not sure if I should contact the Financial Ombudsmans' office too?

 

I will include a letter that I've lifted from the OFT website about breach of the DPA 1998, giveing them 14 days to resolve/settle.

 

I will also forward it to BBC Watchdog and BBC Panorama, as proof of the practices.

 

Just not sure what kind of damages I should persue. They have definitely been left wide open!

No, don’t actually send the voice file to anyone yet. This is nowhere near resolved.

 

Just send a transcript of what was said, but state that you did record the call for your own reference.

 

Good reasons for this, some legal – please trust me!

I would think that a complaint against the Solicitors running this company would be in order as well, as they are allowing their staff to interfere with documents that could be used to make you bankrupt.

 

Perhaps a call to the law society to find out how a complaint can be made in this situation, as the SRA normally only deal with complaints against a Solicitor you employ.

We could do with some help from you.

I agree! I know that, if Ofsted thought I had doctored paperwork, I would be severely told off; but, ultimately, it would be my employer held responsible for negligence.

I was expecting that details would have been changed... But the obvious one would have been to change "brown hair" to 'bald' (which is why I recorded the conversation)

I didn't expect them to completely delete ALL descriptions of the person to whom the SD was served, or the circumstances under which it was served. It's the worst, and most foolish, thing that they could have possibly done!

Which is why I think it might be useful to call the same guy and ask why the descriptions he referred to are now missing. Let him incriminate himself, and state you do not believe this to be a true copy of the original. Does it identify the process server?

  • 1 year later...

Hi guys! Thought you might be interested in the latest update on this farcical case.

Obviously I made the SAR when you advised me to,

BWL ignored my request,

until I informed them that I ha been recording the calls.

Three days ago I received a letter regarding the request that I made on the 8th of August 2013???

Well, I was way before that, but I'll overlook it.

Nearly 1 calendar year later, and they have sent me a credit agreement that has a signature on behalf of JD Williams,

but no date, and no signature or date from me at all! The insist that this is the 'true' copy of the credit agreement.

They have also sent me a statement of accounts... Where do I start with this?

Many pairs of size 5 women's shoes, perfume, ten years younger makeup kits, agent provocateur stuff... Oh, and cat litter,

LOTS OF CAT LITTER??? Why would someone buy cat litter at 39.9% apr?

If indeed that is the APR; on one page it claims 39.9%, and I another it claims 37.6%.

It seems I me that someone has knocked up some paperwork in a desperate attempt to not lose the debt,

and as there is not date on any of the contracts, it's impossible to say when that was?

I have emailed BW Legal to say that I have had no such contracts, which is proven with the lack of signature etc.

.. And that as a tall man with big feet, I do fun the majority of the statement o transactions to be incredibly suspicious.

However, I have had a thorough read through this contract and believe it is wholly unenforceable,

therefore I am not going accept responsibility for any of the debt.

If they had turned up t court, armed with that credit agreement, I believe emit would have been laughed out!

Now I'm ready to pursue them for the way I've been treated, and the way my data was handled.

Interestingly, in this time, the outstanding debt appears to have grown by a further £500, give-or-take? Shame they won't be getting it.

Oh, and the chap I dealt with at BW Legal was Bilal Mahmood...

I had misheard his name but, as I didn't have an written correspondence from them, I had nothing with his name on to know any better. From what I can see, he's a busy boy!

LMAO!! It's gold, isn't it! I really hope that I can find a decent solicitor who can help me take them to the dam cleaners!

In fact, that's probably useful advice to seek on here; does anyone know I any no win no fee DPA/ malpractice solicitors, who would be interested in a case like this?

Do JD williams actually sell cat litter ?

 

Presume that for these statement entries there would be a delivery address for the orders. Perhaps get JD Williams to confirm the delivery address.
