    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.

    • 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.

..Any thoughts guys on where to go from here...
sunderland

if going to appeal, note any time limits. and potential costs.

as Ganymede mentions, poss set aside app'n?

another option cld be a Time Order, if paying.

or settlement.

also, maybe a formal complaint to it re their misleading statement re withdrawal? etc

ps, insolvency rules say that J shld give a note re any subsequent petition. is that in the order/decision?

Hi guys update time.

 

 

I recieved a letter from BW Legal in July 2014, about a month after my stat demand set-a-side hearing.

The letter is the usual stuff demanding payment to their client etc.

It threatens county court action but does not state in what form.

Again this letter states that after reviewing the matter with their client a decision has been made to withdraw the stat demand.

 

 

Seems funny to include this sentence again seen as some 4 weeks earlier i had my set-a-side dismissed

so in effect BW Legal/Lowell had won that part of the battle ???

 

 

Nothing heard since until this morning,

another letter from BW.

In bold below the date it states "without prejudice"

It then asks me to fill in the enclosed income and expenditure form with a repayment proposal.

 

 

It also has enclosed a statement of the account and notice of assignment both of which i have had copies of before.

 

 

Just to remind you folks lowell are still in breach of my CCA request from January 2014.

The last sentence in the letter reads

"If we do not receive a response from you by 4pm on or before 28 May 2015,

we will make the appropriate application to court without any further notice to you."

 

 

Any thoughts guys especially on that last sentence in their letter ???

 

 

Thanks

Providing we find the agreement in time.

In that case andy I

 

 

believe that the last payment to this account was made in october 2008.

 

 

However the statement of account that BW/Lowell have provided shows payments made upto march 2009,

but i believe payments listed nov 08 to mar 09 are payments that were due but not paid,

 

 

but either way even if the last payment was march 09 surely this account is now statute barred ???

 

 

Another point to make is that the statement of account claims that the default date is 9/11/09 ???

 

 

Any thoughts andy barred or not barred lol ???

 

 

Thanks

No ford not a mention of bankruptcy, in fact i have not had any correspondence which even mentions the fact that my set-a-side was dismissed and they had in effect won that part and were therefore free to petition for my bankruptcy. The 2 letters i have had from BW since the hearing are both worded as though a stat demand had never been issued and they are chasing a debt by " Normal means" eg threat of county court CCJ etc etc.

thats what i mean. they were 'told off' for using sd's as a collection method when they had no intention of petitioning for bank after. yet they still did it.

the petition poss re that sd has prob now 'expired'. now, the 'normal' collection threats.

remind, what have they so far produced re yr cca request?

CCA request sent and received by lowell in january 2014. Letter received from BW April 2014, (After i had applied for set-a-side but before a hearing date had been allocated) the letter said it "Enclosed documents requested". Enclosed was one sheet of A4 paper with my name, DOB, an account number, an account opening date, a default date, current balance a summary of transactions in the last 6 years and a detailed summary of transactions from the last 3 years. So detailed that this all fitted one one side of an A4 sheet of paper. The letter closes by saying "We are still awaiting further documents from our client which we will forward to you upon receipt." Needless to say i assume they mean the agreement and needless to say again nothing has been forth coming.

ok

note yr post #58

if then, as andy says, sd has no effect re limitation. then likely to be barred, from yr records as well as their march 09.

when they recorded a default has no bearing on actual limitation start imo. though it can be an indicator. depends when the breach was complained of, and its related terms, etc...

what was the nature of the last payment? token, re an agreement, or...

plus the cca request.

The last payment i made was just an ordinary months payment that was due, then i never paid again as the payment amount was getting too much for me. I never acknowledged the debt either after that last payment i ignored all phone calls and letters. As for the CCA request, the transaction sheet was all i got with a promise of more documents to follow once they had been in contact with the original lender. That was march 2014. Not a sniff of an agreement.
