    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."

    • 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,

 

Another newbie here, and I never thought I would become this desperate but having thoroughly read through a lot of people's own issues I get the sense that I am in the right place.

 

I really need help to understand the options I have - So I will give you a bit of background.

 

I lost my job in September 2012 and it has taken till June this year to start a new job. In between that time being on benefits for the first time in my life, all my bills became a nightmare - I have the following debt:

 

LloydsTsb Overdraft £1224 - which I have a reducing overdraft payment of £13 per month

 

LloydsTsb Credit Card £17,471 (was £15,000 but couldn't pay the minimum and it has stopped at £17,471)

 

LloydsTsb Loan: £14,977.33 unsecured - now with Wescot as of today 20/07/2013 as a letter has arrived with the 'instructed by our client to collect the outstanding balance on their behalf'

 

When I lost my job I went to my bank manager to see what she could do and it turns out she joins the same foreign call centre queue I would have - after 30 mins we agreed the reducing overdraft payment of £13 - but the rest they wanted £200 for the loan £200 for the credit card - and I was on JSA of £307 per month so that was never going to happen

 

I wrote to the LoydsTsb Credit card and loan sections saying I would come to arrange when I had employment - they have never written back until Moorcroft got involved - I filled in their online Income/Expenditure sheet and of course being on benefits it didn't help them - that was in March 2013 since then nothing until today with the same loan but Wescot -

 

I have got a very good job now (in 2nd month) and would be happy to be in some arrangement however my brilliant landlord has rent arrears with me of £1,800 and I have given him priority as well as my retired parents picking up the slack from benefits of £3,000 over 8 months so I wish to pay them off first.

 

I really do not want to put my new job in jeopardy as my new employers are brilliant but they would not take any CCJS or debt letters well in fact I know that if they felt I couldn't manage my debt and it came to their notice I would loose my job.

 

I rent my my house - I have had to open a monthly paid ThinkMoney account as my all my (empty!) accounts are with LloydsTsb and they originally notified me that if I had any money in any of their accounts they could take it to pay down my debt.

 

 

I really would appreciate advice on how to reach a satisfactory conclusion keeping my debt within my control rather than it going to court and having my employers involved -

 

I have no real assets except for bits of furniture and a 12 year car - and I earn £1,800 per month net as of last month's first paycheque

Hello and Welcome,

 

I have moved this thread to the Dealing with Debt in Scotland Forum, I would get back in touch with Lloyds and see if they would now consider coming to some sort of arrangement regarding your Credit Card and Loan, I would avoid dealing with Moorcroft for now.

 

Regards,

 

Scott.

Have you sat and worked out if you can make any payment towards them at all?>

 

Is there any PPI or charges on the accounts that can be reclaimed to help reduce the balances?

I don't have PPI - Credit card was just under £15,000 but now includes interest and missed payments,

 

I have done my sums but things are still very tight - I can afford to offer about £50 per month split between my credit card bill and my loan, all my bills have been cut down minimum but I have agreed to pay the Landlord an extra £110 per month to reduce my arrears and I need to pay my parents about the same - they don't have much money bar their savings and pension and I want to repay them quickly.

 

I have received no mail from Lloyds since before moorcroft until now when I have this letter from Wescot -

 

I have not had my 2nd pay cheque yet so a bit worried about over extending myself

only offer what you can guarantee each month.

 

In the templates section you will find letters templates to send to offer a monthly payment.

If they get back to you let us know
