    • IMG_2820-IMG_2820-merged.pdfmerged.pdf Case management was this morning. Here is the Sheriff’s order. Moved case forward to 24/05.   He said there was no signed agreement and after a bit of “erm, erm, yeah but, erm” when he asked them, he allowed time for sol to contact claimant.  what is the next step now? thank you UCM  
    • I've had a quick (well, quick for a thread of this length),  read of this thread and to be honest I'm struggling to make heads nor tails of the actual crux of the issue here. You seem awfully convinced that whatever is going on is worth the fight and the odds are in your favour but with how the thread has gone it seems that one trail goes cold so you simply move on to another in an attempt to delay the inevitable. All it does is end up digging holes and confusing others and yourself which means any advice given to you is completely pointless. I note that for the life of this thread there has not been any documentation or correspondence uploaded for people to have a look. Have you got any that you'd be willing to redact and upload for members to assist you? Right now, it seems people are shooting out advice while being in the dark because it's starting to become very difficult for people who weren't here at the start of this (including myself) to follow along. Right now, this whole thread is just hypothetical "He said, she said" and is going nowhere fast. Nothing more than basic advice can be given which, as you've sought out some legal advice, is likely not sufficient to actually come to any sort of conclusion. I, personally, am starting to agree with others that it may be best to consider bankruptcy and put the matter behind you.  
    • Thanks for coming back to us. There are no guarantees - but remember that so far MET have not had the guts to put even a single case before a judge.  Not once. Yours is one of seven court cases. Three ongoing like yours. In two MET bottled it as Witness Statement stage approached. In one the allocating judge decided their Particulars of Claim were rubbish and threw the case in the bin. Just the one victory by MET by default when the motorist stupidly didn't file a defence. So there is every chance that MET will throw in the towel in your case too if you stand firm. Please keep us informed of what is happening. Regarding being abroad, that is no reason for things going wrong, you can request an on-line hearing and we've had several cases where the PPC gave up when the motorist moved abroad. But please keep us in the loop.

    • 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 again everyone.

 

 

I'm in a position to make offers on two outstanding debts,

 

 

one of approximately £10 k to TSB which I've been paying off at £50 a month since the court case

(in which I defended myself and lost (quelle surprise)) back in 2009,

 

 

the other to LINK who shafted me a couple of years back adding 3k onto my debt of approx 5k making it 8k of debt

and I foolishly didn't get back to the court in time to object,

so I've been paying LINK £10 a month since then.

 

Both TSB and LINK have charges on our property which is why I'm keen to get these debts repaid first in priority to others,

as our mortgage is interest only and only has 10 years to run and we need to remortgage and get an endowment

and start paying it off, but can't remortgage until these charges are cleared from the property.

 

So...how much should I offer TSB for their debt of 10k? I'm thinking of offering 2k.

 

And how much should I offer LINK for their debt of 8K? I'm thinking of offering 1k.

 

I know that different banks and CCCs have different reputations regarding what proportion of a debt they'll accept

in an offer but don't know the details which is why I'm asking for help.

 

Is my CAG buddy andyorch still here by any chance? (waves hello if you are!) :)

seems as if they have ccj's and CO's on these.

which may affect what they would accept cf otherwise.

 

in their collections,

they seem to offer around 40/50/60% ....reduction, then poss open to negotiation. maybe more when it has been sold on, and depending on the individuals circs. but, they have ccj's and CO's?

 

make an offer, start low, see what they come back with. hopefully they'll be open to negotiation.

andyorch isn't online at the moment, however I have left a message for him.

 

As Ford says, the fact they have a CCJ and a charging order on your property kind of changes things.. they might not be open to offers and want the full amount.

 

No harm in trying though :)

Hi Joan I trust you are keeping well.

 

The fact that the debts are secured by the charges is irrelevant really (particularly with the link one)

as they would be open to any offers to grasp some cash.

 

TSB may be a little more difficult but if you don't try you will never know.

 

Follow Fords suggested approach above and test the water...you mat be surprised.

 

On a side note are the charges restrictions or actual Charging Orders?

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi andy, long time no speak,

 

thanks for coming on here and thanks citizenB for messaging andy.

 

..yes we have 2 actual charging orders on our property,

one is Link and

one is Lloyds TSB (not sure whether it's with Lloyds or TSB now the banks have been forced to separate...)

 

- the idea is to clear the debts that have charging orders on

and then start to work on the debts that don't have charging orders on.

But we only have enough funds to deal with these 2 debts first...

Unfortunately the festive period was so demanding I haven't had a chance to address this, now I have.

 

There are several good threads on the net if you google "final settlement offer"

so I've got figures in mind as to what to offer.

 

Apparently once with a DCA they often accept 20% of the debt,

but of course in the case of Lloyds TSB it's a bank.

I've seen people posting about having had offers of 25% accepted from banks so I'm going to start at that.

 

My problem now is,

 

as the TSB debt was with Lloyds TSB, is it now with just the TSB?

 

I can't recall them sending me any notification about this.

And I've been searching for over half an hour on the net a

nd can't find an address to write to for TSB credit card debts.

Does anyone know to whom I should be sending this letter?

send things to whomever has the ccj/co? with proof of posting. if there has been a change of ownership, they should've formally advised/dealt so.
