    • Hi, Thanks a lot for your valuable advice and apologies for bit delay in providing some additional information as requested before. I was also looking at other threads to get some more knowledge so apologies if my questions have already been answered in some other threads and I have missed them. I would appreciate if you can guide to relevant thread to help navigate easily. If I opt to go down the route of availing BS option, I'd find it more convenient if I do it in parts i.e., applying with 2/3 creditors at a time. Is that even possible in my case? I understand that DN might be the best option for me but I am trying to avoid this route as much as I can. I am currently living in a rented property with wife and 3 kids and I am not how this is going to play out in future if we decide to move to some other area. How will DN impact my intention of getting house on mortgage (dream as of today) after 6 years? If I go for DN strainght away, do I have to do it for all debts? for example, can i leave one active credit card out of this DN? what can i do if I go for DN right now but my financial situation improves in 1-2 years due to better job or promotion etc.?  Here are the details of my debts. Let me know please if you have any questions. Regards, MM Overdraft Halifax - £2,500 Starling - £500 (I can settle this immediately to keep this account active as back-up for salary and other priority expenses like rent, council tax etc.)   Personal Loans - Outstanding Amounts - No defaults or missed payments Plata - approx. £27,000 BetterBorrow - £3,450 Zopa - £14,000 Reevo - £2,800 Updraft - £2,230   Credit Card - Balances - No defaults or missed payments except those noted Virgin - £6,100 (This card is suspended.) Halifax - £5,474 (This card is suspended.) Barclays - £5,400 (I am currently on a fixed monthly payment plan of £232 for almost a year now and missed last month's payment.) Aqua - £3,100 Fluid - £2,100  
    • They cannot send any claim forms, they are issued by Northants bulk.  Usual rubbish, and legally cannot be served by email unless you've specifically given Northants bulk permission to do.    Usual claptrap from TM.. See

    • Instead of ridiculing them you could point out the embarrassment they will have in the papers if they persist in being in Court with a little old lady. it also won't look good for their landowners since negative comments afffect them too.
    • I'm going to say they haven't complied with the PAP although they did write saying they would be issuing a court claim in their letter they also state I had an agreement with OVO which they have a copy of the agreement and its terms and condition which I have definitely not seen. Also I've technically never had an agreement with OVO but with SSE I didn't even realise they had sold to them until this letter!

    • 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.

Yep. They are after someone who doesn't live there. It's nothing to do with the person who does live there, except inasmuch as he wants them to go away. They will need proof of who lives there - current council tax will usually suffice. Otherwise, they are likely to keep looking.

Ok thanks for all the advice.

So if they send a letter to JBW and Council with proof of residence then that would suffice?

They are a single parent with kids,live in council accomodation,don't live in the Birmingham City Council district and have sent previous letters to JBW stating such facts but have been ignored.

Would it be worthwile sending a letter to council aswell?

the council are responsible for the actions of the bailiff

 

forget the bailiff letter

 

contact the council directly 'the ctax enforcement team' etc I would expect

or the CEO of the ctax unit

 

and get them to pull the dogs off

that person does not reside at that address.

 

make it a formal complaint too.

I disagree. Bailiffs are on this case, so contact them. You can't just tell them that the debtor is not living there - they will want proof, and as I said, current council tax is usually accepted. At present there is no need for conflict and no grounds for a complaint. Of course, if they get nowhere by offering proof, then it can be taken through other channels.

You have stated that JBW visited the property and left a notice. From the document displayed it would appear that they have incorrectly calculated the initial visit fee. This SHOULD be 28% on the debt of £125.44 which SHOULD be £35.12 and NOT £33.60.

 

Most odd. Also....no VAT charged on the 1st visit fee either !!
