    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be 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.

Hi all. Great site...helped girlfriend claim back £830 from Lloyds TSB and just issued another claim against them today for £490...thanks for all the help/templates/advice. Got an unusual (I think) query this time...

 

Was checking the national debt line site back in April and came across their letters template link (National Debtline England & Wales | Debt Advice). 2/3rds down the list there is a CCA letter that you can use to request a copy of a credit agreement from your creditors under the CCA (Sections 77-79)...what is interesting about this is that it states that "creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the Act." This is relevant for my girlfriend as she thought she had come to the end of the term of the loan only to be told that 4 instalments were still outstanding. She has been switched from one loan product to another during the loan term and by Lloyds own admittance is on an "old-style" loan. She sent the CCA letter in April and has heard nothing since...no agreement, no chasers for the money, nothing. Lloyds have however starting to charge interest on the outstanding balance without any notification. Three questions:

 

1) Is the national debtline letter correct?

2) If so, does unenforceable mean that my girlfriend can write to Lloyds to get them to scrub off the outstanding amount?

3) Is Lloyds practice of charging interest in this manner legal (particularly given that they are unable to provide a copy of the credit agreement)?

 

Any views/advice/experiences would be most welcome.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

I have been reading with interest the threads for 'unenforceable credit agreements'. I took out a loan with Northern Rock in 2005 and after a while tried cancelling the payment protection insurance, to cut a long story short they cancelled the insurance and processed a new loan in 2007 with a different account no. I signed no credit agreement, I just have a letter telling me that I had a new loan for the new amount. Am I right in thinking that this debt may now be unenforceable as there is no credit agreement?

 

Also, if I send a letter asking for a copy of the credit agreement and they dont supply it, what should I do next? Any advice on how to proceed with this would be gratefully apreciated.

Mortgage agreements are not regulated under the Consumer Credit Act, they are deemed exempt under s.16 of the CCA The Office of Fair Trading: Exempt agreements

 

I take it your mortgage is pre 2007?

 

One issue you might be worth looking into though is if you have had any top-up loans from your mortgage company throughout the period. IF you have then you might like to read up on Francis Bennions views (He drafted the 1974 Act) on Top-up loans and the effect they had as independent loans rather than just being merged into the original mortgage...takes some reading and analysis, but with a little tenacity and enthusiasm you might find some interesting pointers there.

Beware about signing anything with your usual signature dolphinbaby, I'm not suggesting for one minute that anyone would be so low as to recreate a document which super-imposed your signature on it, but there are many thousands of people who watched Blue Peter - stick to using a signature if you have to use one which can't be recreated. Actually, as they have asked for a signature to correspond with one they already have write back and ask for a copy of that signature because you use numerous signatures - if they don't send it - they ain't got it - not a signature or the agreement :D No agreement - no debt! :rolleyes:

I wonder if someone could take a look over my agreement for me and tell me if the interest is worked out correctly and whether it is felt this is unenforceable as it stands?

 

Thanks, I just can't work out the interest calculations as per agreement. This is my thread:

Hi everyone ,

new to this so please bare with me if this has been asked before.

I sent off recorded delivery template letters to a few Credit cards that I started well before April 2007,asking for the agreements etc and enclosing a pound postal order with each.

None replied within the 12 working days. i have since sent a further template letter stating that the debt is not recognised and asking for acknowledgement.

 

Marbles have replied now saying they are unable to provide historic terms however have provided current terms and conditions.

 

Another says they are having difficulty providing archived info.

 

MBNA are still chasing via e mail and have still yet to acknowledge or reply to the recorded delivery template letters.

 

What action should I take if they continue to ignore the requests?

 

Any help great fully appreciated.:confused:

Do you not see the benefit of starting your own thread?

Do you not see the disadvantage of hijacking another thread?

Do you not see the confusion that arises when people are answering questions by multiple users on the same thread? (This is not directed to Battler by the way. I will move your post to your own thread shortly)

If everyone on the forums used other threads to post their questions on we would have much fewer threads but mass confusion.

Please start your own thread as previously asked.

Also have a read of the site rules regarding posting.

 

And ther really is no need to call me sir.

Is that meant for me Gyzmo? :oops:

 

Not specifically! I just found it funny that you posted on here a couple of minutes after my previous post! Sorry, my warped sense of humour.

 

I've said before that there are a large number of posts in the welcome thread asking about CCAs. I think more efective sign posting is required.

:confused: What would you suggest Gyzmo? I understand why people make a bee line for a thread entitled with a similar problem to their own but what can we do? The whole team are open to suggestions as it can be a nightmare some days having to move posts and create new threads for newbies who are still unsure of the forums.

I mention this because I put a post in the general forum about this very issue a few months ago, which seems to have gone largely unnoticed - here's the link:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-consumer-issues/189326-ccas-warning.html#post2040814

 

There are obviously guides to this and that, but it seems that people are either not bothering to look or do not know how to find them or are having having difficulty in doing so.

 

All I am saying is that there are a lot of people asking about this issue. There is also a lot of information on this subject already in existence.

 

Maybe a question box should open when people sign in or log in. It could ask why thet are posting, with various options such as "I want to know about CCAs" or "I bought goods online that are faulty". The user can then select the option and be taken to the most appropriate part of the forum where they can probably find what they want to know.

 

Just trying to make things easier for everyone - that's all.

I totally agree with all the points you have mentioned there.

I will move your thread to the Questions and suggestions and flag it up for admin to have a look see what they can come up with.

 

I was not critisising you for mentioning this at all. I genuinely am interested in ways of sorting this problem.

 

Thank you.
