    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.

    • 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.

Hi my wife has been paying shopacheck for years now we were down to paying £3 a week.

 

We owe approx. £100.The loans were from 2003

 

Then when the new government legislation came in IE bedroom tax etc. we had to drop this to £1 a week. I am disabled on ESA Support. After a couple of weeks the agent stopped calling.

 

We then received a letter from shopacheck telling us we needed to pay the contracted payment.

 

I wrote back and told them that is all we can afford, They then said they were going to send someone to my house, I sent them a letter to the effect of do not darken my door etc.

 

As shopacheck have now got very unpleasant I decided to send them a cca request.

What we received back was a Recon of an amount we have not borrowed, It looks like all the accounts have been consolidated together, It also states 0% Interest.

 

My question is as these loans were taken out in 2003 would a reconstructed agreement stand up in court,

 

As I was led to believe a debt before April 2007 would need to have the original signed agreement, To enforce the debt. And also as the amount stated on the recon does not amount to any loan we have taken out before, would this recon be enforceable in court.

 

I have enclosed the recon that shopacheck sent me if someone could take a look at it and advise a letter to send back to shopacheck thank you.

urm..

 

you are still paying welcome finance doorsteppers in 2013 for £500 loan from 2003!

 

don't think that's correct.

 

have you SAR'd them for all the statements?

 

me thinks you've been had blind here.

 

 

and no they will need the org signed agreement

but they'll never go near a court for a doorstepper account

 

they'll be eaten alive by the judge.

fraid so disabled in 2004 so have paid token payments since then

yes received statements owe around £100 now

But loans started around 2000 and look as though they were consolidated into one loan.

I would continue with token payments but shopacheck have have now got very unpleasant.

hence the cca request.

So they will need the orig agreement

If you look at the recon and letter it mentions carey case etc and they think this agreement would stand up as enforcable .

So do I tell them the account is still in dispute ?.

Definitely stop paying now. If they recon that is a true copy at a rate of 0%, and if you had been paying just £1 for the last ten that would work out at £520, so at the rate you have been paying you have repaid thousands.

It might be worth you trying to work out exactly how much you have paid them.

 

The agreement states that you will pay £566.00 on borrowing of £500. It is an interest free loan.

 

Your contractual payments were £3.77 for 150 weeks

 

Do you know if there has been interest or default/penalty charges added to the account - if so, you should be able to reclaim these.

 

A simple spread sheet will soon work out how much you have repaid them since 2003.

Asked my wife she said they added all the outstanding loans together and she then was asked to pay this over 150 weeks no interest.

Looking at the spread sheet we owe around 50 pound, there were a lot of weeks that the collector did not collect.

No extra has been added but my argument is should they not have to produce the original contracts before the loans were consolidated together.

As my cca request thanks.

ah refinancing eh!

 

i'd suspect you owe nowt as they would have carried over the int without a rebate?

 

pers i'd sar them

 

and include a letter with regard to could they please supply copies of all the org agreement as it appears from personal records you have [ they wont know you don't]

that there was not interest rebated before the loans were all consolidated

 

and ask for copies from the collectors notebook pages relating to this.

 

until they do, you contend you prob owe nothing.

Yeah I was going to write back with the following,

 

The agreement you have supplied is defective and does not constitute a valid contract,

You have furnished me with what looks like a consolidated agreement

,Which has no relevance to the original agreements,.

Also as this agreement is dated 2003 you would need the original agreement to enforce this through the courts.

 

Is there any thing you think I could add or remove thanks all.

http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii16/microbar123/LETTERB.jpg

 

I have informed them repeatedly they have not complied with my request for avalid cca and what they have sent me is defective and unenforceable plus the documents t&cs are illegible.

 

But they are in denial of this by saying they see no reason why I have notpaid the outstanding amount.

 

I will be sending a bemused letter any suggestions thanks.

Are CL finance not part of SHOPACHECK Anyway I thought they were all in with cattles group.

 

Also are the letters rather against consumer credit Law.

IE CL finance are taking over but you need to pay lewis.

 

This seems to be confusing for any customer and the consumer credit Law asks that only one creditor should chase a debt at any time.

 

So what do I do now just Ignore or inform CL they have bought a lemon ?.

 

Thanks again for all your help here.

So what in your opinion should my next move be, Obviously Lewis are now going to start there threatograms.

 

Do I report shopacheck for passing on a disputed debt.

 

Do I inform Lewis they are in trouble for not checking if the account was in dispute?

 

Any help thank you.
