    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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 everyone.

This is my first post so I apologise if it is in the wrong place.

 

I am currently in a DMP with Step Change.

 

I had a MBNA credit card which went to Thames Credit and eventually to Aktiv Kapital.

 

The debt now stands at approx. £5200.00.

 

The original debt with MBNA was approx. £2300.00 before it was passed on.

 

Aktiv Kapital keep adding interest to this debt on an annual basis so I end up paying less than the interest that is added so the debt keeps going up.

 

Is there any way I can get them to freeze this and put the debt back to the original amount.

 

They keep sending me letters offering a discount if I pay the debt in full. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi welcome to CAG,

 

Does this show on your CRA files?

 

I think you need to make a SAR to MBNA to get all the data on this account, interest on this is doubtful imo.

 

Also a CCA Request to Arrow Global may help to shed some light.

 

You can certainly write to the Compliance Director at AG and ask for an explanation on the interest and seek a freeze.

Do you know if a Default Notice and termination notice was issued prior to the sale of the account to Aktiv Kapital - I am not sure they can add interest to the account ?

 

Were you in a payment arrangement prior to the sale and had MBNA ceased adding interest ?

 

Have you received copies of the agreement and terms and conditions to see if there is a clause that allows this ?

hi. many thanks for your replies.

 

the debt has been with aktiv capital for about 3 years.

 

if I recall, I was issued a default notice by mbna and informed it would be passed to a dca.

 

I then incorporated this debt into the debt management plan with the others I have.

 

they are the only ones adding interest.

 

should I contact them and ask them to freeze it and refund the interest they have already added to the debt.

 

I am unsure where to go with this.

You certainly need to establish under what right they are adding interest to the account. Unless there is a provision in the agreement for them to do this, I don't think they can.

many thanks for your quick replies.

 

can I just ask a question,

 

as you may have gathered, I am not that clued up about debt collection.

 

if I send a cca request to all the debt collection agencies and they cannot provide the original paperwork, What does this mean for me.

 

with the help of a family member I was hoping to try and get full and final settlements on my debts.

 

I currently owe £22k (which should be approx. £18k without the Aktiv Kapital interest).

 

My aunt is willing to give me £8K to try and clear these debts but I don't know if that would be enough for them to settle,

 

any ideas on this. thank you again.

Yes, I think that might be a good idea - CCA and or SAR requests to all those creditors involved.

 

CCA requests to the current owners of the accounts and SAR requests to the Original Creditors.

 

If they are unable to provide the documents requested, then this could give you some negotiating power, especially in respect of MBNA/Aktiv !

 

It would also let you see if there was any default charges or Payment Protection Insurance added to the accounts - which you could attempt to reclaim.

Hi the CCA regulated agreement request is just a request for the document, it is not intended to provide proof or lack of liability for a debt.

 

The non compliance with a CCA request basically stops enforcement via the courts, BUT the debt still exists, remains payable and collectable by any means other than court action, the creditor/DCA continues to report the account to credit reference agencies.

 

There is now the 'facility' for the provision of 'reconstituted' agreements to satisfy a sections 77/78 CCA request under CCA 1974 (as amended) this type of document can lead to a court deciding that liability subsists, if presented with evidence of useage of a credit facility e.g. use of the account and payments made to it.

have you checked your cra files as brig asked? if there is a default, then they should not really be adding interest. in any event, under a dmp interest should usually stop or at the very least be reduced

My debt is a lot less, under £1000 and they have agreed to accept about 2/3rds of it as full and final.

PPI/PENALTY charges?

i think there has been some confusion,

 

I owe £22K in total to all creditors, not to Aktiv Kapital.

 

I have just looked back on my paperwork and they originally took over the debt from MBNA with a balance of £1501.00.

the current balance is £5070.00 after the interest they have added.

 

what is the next step after requesting a CCA.

 

sorry for all the questions but I am not in the know with regards to this.

that might explain why they are continuing with interest (although they shouldn't if financial difficulties and in an dmp. dmp provider should've ensured interest freeze.),

ie maybe they have not defaulted it and it is poss down as a variation in payments re the dmp.

but even then it should be marked as such.

 

usually when an a/c is defaulted interest stops.

 

but, if it has been sold on, then usually it would've been defaulted.

 

so, you need to check and get that interest stopped, and even better backdated. complain. 3.5k is alot of interest!

 

a time order can poss stop interest if else fails. eg http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?382658-Time-Orders

 

sar info to original creditor should show their account/default activity, etc

 

see what others say
