    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • 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.

Many thanks DX100. I really got upset and frightened over this earlier today.

 

My current medication and cardiac conditions are affecting the way I'm thinking about this.

 

I received a phonecall earlier this evening asking for me. As usual, I asked who was calling. The idiot said "Capquest". I said

"I will communicate with you in writing only" and put the phone down.

 

So much for them giving me 5 days to contact them.

 

Seems they can't wait!

 

Thanks again

Should have said, You do know you have just breached the DPA right?

 

Capquest used to phone me 2-3 times a day for months, until i started playing with them on the phone. Now, i just get a random text message now and again. I think their breaking point was when i started playing Britney spear's 'lucky' down the phone while i went for a shower.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Crapquest have now phoned for the third night in a row.

 

Tonight, I let the idiot go so far as to ask me some "security questions" before he continued.

 

He asked for my date of birth.

 

I told him that I'd tell him after he gave me his DOB, home address and phone number.

He said he couldn't do that.

I said goodbye.

 

This is becoming very tiresome.

 

Haven't I seen a template on CAG to the effect that I only want to be communicated with in writing?

 

Hope I'm doing ok.

 

Thanks

Hi all

 

Having refused to discuss anything with Crapquest over the phone,

they've now sent me a letter.

 

Before they start legal proceedings,

they wish me to know that they've established there are no CCJ's registered against me.

 

They then go on to discuss the damaging effect a CCJ could have on my ability to obtain credit.

 

They point out that they are not seeking an immediate payment in full but can offer many repayment methods around my present circumstances

including "possible settlements that will save you money".

 

They've allowed a week for me to reply after which the account will "move forward to litigation"

 

Can the settlement offer be read as their willingness to offer a reduced payment to settle the account which in turn could point to their ability to recover the debt being dodgy?

 

My SAR request to Lloyds has met with no reply to date so I'm in limbo with them.

 

Might it be worthwhile sending CCA request to Crapquest with the obligatory £1 postal order to see what happens?

 

I'm back in hospital for 3 weeks later this week and I'm worrying myself sick over all this despite Crapquest's final sentence on the letter reading "Let's work on this together".

 

Many thanks

std threat-o-gram

read it carefully does not say WILL anywhere

 

its a discount letter too

 

so as before means there is something WRONG with the debt.

 

you could CCA them

 

however, i'd be more inclined to await the SAR they have 40 cal days.

I would also report that letter as it breaches OFT guidance. It could be seen as borderline blackmail too.

 

" We know you dont have any CCJ's, but unless you give us money, we're gonna add one."

 

Thats a specific threat and implies they will win at court when they have no clue what will happen. Yet another breach of guidance.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Still nothing received following my SAR request to Lloyds.

 

However, I've received a letter from HL LEGAL solicitors stating that they've been appointed by Crapquest.

 

I am to

"take notice that unless the account is paid in full or a satisfactory proposal for settlement is received"

by a date next month, court proceedings may be issued without further notice.

 

They will also add "Solicitor's Costs" and "Court Cost's" to the account balance.

 

Successful judgement against me will lead to further costs and fees being added.

 

Payment must be sent to a Crapquest address without delay or I can pay by debit card.

Interestingly, if I wish to discuss this matter,

I am not to reply to HL Legal, only to their client, Crapquest on 03339997223.

 

I've been back in hospital again and didn't manage to get the CCA request letter to Crapquest. I'll do it over the next day or two.

 

I would really be grateful for further assistance now as to what I should do next. I find solicitor's letters frightening.

 

Many thanks

I'm still waiting for the SAR from Lloyds, however there have been further curious developments.

 

My CCA request to Crapquest has been returned to me

- not a copy

- along with my £1 PO by Lloyds Bank from an address in Scotland.

 

The letter states that they cannot trace the account from the reference I provided in the CCA letter

(this 10 digit reference was a number allocated by Crapquest).

 

Lloyds want me to provide a 16 digit account number,

full current address details including previous addresses,

date of birth and date the account was opened!

 

Furthermore, they inform me that s78 only applies during the lifetime of an agreement

and if the account has been paid in full, there would no longer be a regulated agreement between us.

In this event, they would be unable to provide any documentation.

 

Right now, I don't know my next best move.

 

Crapquest informed me they were sending my request to Lloyds and this appears to be the result.

 

Should I send the failure to comply letter to Crapquest

since they have had the 12+2 days to reply and have not done so,

even though they gave themselves 24 days to reply?

 

If I provided the requested details to Lloyds,

surely I'd be shooting myself in the foot as they should be able to trace the account.

 

I am likely to hear from Crapquest again since they've clearly passed my letter to Lloyds?

I'd be grateful for an opinion.

 

Many thanks
