    • Hello, Following the submission of my defense, last night I received an email from DCBL indicating that the claimant intends to proceed with the claim (I've attached a screenshot of the email for reference) along with the N180 directions questionnaire. I'm unsure how they obtained my email, but I suspect it was through the courts' form when I completed the Acknowledgment of Service. This email almost slipped my attention. I have also today received a letter from court to state they have received my defense.  It appears they are requesting an online telephone hearing with the court. Could you please advise me on the necessary steps I should take at this point? Thank you for your assistance. Letter-Email 25-04-24.pdf N180 - Directions questionnaire (Small Claims Track).pdf
    • Default Amount £9237.88, all this started in 2006 Admitted debt £9075.65 Weightmans added £1515.01 immediately they became involved, no explanation The Statement shows when Marlin bought debt in May 2011 £10439.25 Their statements, not received until the SAR, are based on this. Cabot deducted £1515.01on their statements in January 2019, again did not find this out until SAR. Weightmans added in  2007 after the CH1 etc was confirmed by the court £741.50, made up of Process server fees, Court Fee (they tried for bankruptcy), Solicitors fee and Land Registry fee. Unspecfied Legal costs were added by Marlin in March 2015, again I did not know this until statements received with SAR I had been paying monthly, without exception until December 2018. I am minded to take the property charge, CH1 amount ,deduct all my payments and the subsequent fees, and request/demand a refund on the final payment made? I consistently disputed Weightmans balances, but they never responded. I also told Mortimer Clarke/Cabot that I disputed their amounts.

    • 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.

I have been contacted by a debt collecting company called Motor Mile Finance. I received a rather threatening letter from their solicitor called Neal Chatrath which I was not happy with. It was a carefully worded letter to cause maximum distress.

 

From reading postings on this company, I realised the threats were hollow. I sent this solicitor Neal Chatrath a suitable response and placed the account into official dispute. This alleged debt is in reference to a payday loan taken out in 2009. On checking my credit file Motor Mile Finance have defaulted this account 1/12/2012.

 

I have never taken out a payday loan.

 

Today I received a response from a Mr Barry Ellarshaw saying this account has been placed on hold and to expect a response within 4 weeks.

 

I am enclosing a copy of the first page of their complaints procedure enclosed with the letter from Barry Ellershaw for consideration

Place the debt in dispute, and address all correspondance to Rob sands complaince officer. Everything else will either go ignored, be replied with a bunch of whitewash, or theyll send more threats.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

On your credit file does it show a default with MMF? You mentioned about your credit file.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Send the prove it letter too

 

usual empty threats from pretend solicitors.

 

Chatrath is a qualified and properly registered solicitor wholly employed by MMF and they are indeed starting to use the courts.

I have been doing some digging on these payday loans from forum members. For the record i have never taken one out. My question is on Default notices.

 

It appears no default notice will be needed on a payday loan as they have to be paid back after 30 days. In my case, this fraud took place in 2009, yet the default registered with the credit agencies december 2012. That is three years after the account was closed.

Are you sure?

 

A default notice DOES still have to be issued.

 

You'll need to challenge MMF... That's not quite right about the default date.

It is correct a formal demand for payment which if not met results in the account being defaulted.

 

If the 'fraudulent' account was just closed as often happens in this sort of situation without being defaulted immediately the PDL will default immediately prior to selling the debt.

 

The way forward in the situation of a 'fraudulent' account is a formal complaint to the data controller at the PDL demanding that the entry be removed.

MMF have probably vanished their.... threatogram machine, as soon as a threat to their authority is seen all goes quiet let sleeping rats lay.

I have just received a letter from Mr Barry Ellershaw.

 

He has stated that if i consider this to be ID fraud then i need to get a crime reference number,

and send in a copy of my bank statement .

 

He then goes on about making a payment arrangement to clear this debt

 

What is even more shocking is that he has sent a put together credit agreement which is so bad my 8 year old son can do better.

it is stated as an electronically signed agreement.

 

Barry Ellershaw states in his opening paragraph that the loan was from june 2009 and purchased june 2012,

yet the agreement from them is dated october 2008.

 

I have stated that this is nothing to do with me yet they still send this so called credit agreement

 

You cannot make this up it is so preposterous

 

How are these cowboys allowed to continue to operate with their blatant disregard for the law

Sounds typical MMF stupidity!! Try the following.

 

 

Private & Confidential

 

 

Mr Rob Sands

Director of Compliance

MMF Ltd

 

 

Date:

 

 

Ref: use theirs:

 

 

 

 

Dear Mr Sands,

 

 

I refer to a letter from Barry Ellershaw dated xx.xx.xxxx (copy enclosed for clarity), Mr Elllershaw clearly states the account relating to this alleged debt was opened in JUNE 2009.

 

 

The childish attempt a producing a " reconstituted" agreement is dated OCTOBER 2008 as this is clearly a fabrication the "reconstituted " agreement is totally refuted and it does not satisfy my request made under sections 77/78 of CCA 1974.

 

 

I am sending a copy of Mr Ellershaws letter and the alleged agreement to the OFT/FCA with a formal complaint regarding the conduct of MMF Ltd.

 

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to MMF Ltd., and I know consider the matter closed.

 

 

Send by recorded signed for post.

I am completely baffled as to why MMF are getting away with all this, they must know they have a very sour lemon of an alleged debt portfolio.

 

My main problem from my bad PDL days is now phone calls from another company - but they have been reported to the OFT, FOS, ICO etc and I am waiting replies from those organisations.

 

The whole PDL debt collecting side of the so-called industry seems to be as poor as the business practices in general - but luckily sites like this exist to inform people of their rights, rather than the 'implied rights' the DCAs seem to think they have.

Theyre already under investigation. Sadly though, people rarely complain. I still really hope they pick up my sb debts though. Theyre with arrow/restons atm and theyre not doing much.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
