    • Know it has already been answered, but? Does not explain why JCI has registered a different default date when they get the information from the original creditor, Virgin
    • Since you were stopped at the time there is no requirement for the police give you anything there and then or to send you anything before they have decided how to deal with the offence.  They have three choices: Offer you a course Offer you a fixed penalty (£100 and three points) Prosecute you in court  The only option that has a formal time limit is (3). They must begin court proceedings within six months of the date of the alleged offence. Options (1) and (2) have no time limit but since the only alternative the police have if you decline those offers is (3) they will not usually offer a course beyond three months from the date of the offence and will not usually offer a fixed penalty beyond four months from that date. This is so as to allow time for the driver to accept and comply with their offer and to give them the time to go to option (3) if he declines or ignores it.  Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, the action they take will usually be in accordance with the National Police Chiefs' Council's guidance on speeding enforcement. In a 40mph limit this is as follows Up to 45mph - no action. Between 46mph and 53mph - offer a course Between 54mph and 65mph - offer a fixed penalty Over 65mph - prosecution in court So you can see that 54mph should see you offered a fixed penalty. Three weeks is not overly long for a fixed penalty offer to arrive. As well as that, there has been Easter in that period which will have slowed things down a bit. However, I would suggest that if it gets to about two months from the offence date and you have still heard nohing, I would contact the ticket office for the area where you were stopped to see if anything has been sent to you. Of course this raises the danger that you might be "stirring the hornets' nest". But in all honesty, if the police have decided to take no action, you jogging their memory should not really influence them. The bigger danger, IMHO, is that your fixed penalty offer may have been sent but lost and if you do not respond it will lapse. This will see the police revert to option (3) above. Whilst there is a mechanism in these circumstances  to persuade the court to sentence you at the fixed penalty level (rather than in accordance with the normal guidelines which will see a harsher penalty), it relies on them believing you when you say you did not received an offer. In any case it is aggravation you could well do without so for the sake of a phone call, I'd enquire if it was me.  I think I've answered all your questions but if I can help further just let me know.

    • 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 all

 

In October 2009 I defaulted on an HSBC overdraft, £700 of which was charges, the other £700 ish the actual overdraft.

 

They didn't get in touch until last year (I had previously looked in to a DRO but HSBC wouldnt confirm the details to me as it had been passed to a DCA, my circumstances then changed and I was able to negotiate the other debts I had at the time)

 

The account was originally opened in 2005.

 

I sent MKDP LLP a CCA request, they took a long time to respond and finally responded saying that the account was opened 'interpersonally' (whatever that means) and therefore no agreement was necessary? I've read elsewhere on the forum that pre-April 2007 CCA agreements are required or the debt is unenforcable, can anyone confirm?

 

I now can't afford to pay this debt having exhausted my options previously; I'm begrudged to play ball with them / HSBC when there are so many charges on there and this could have been resolved years ago if they had given me the info I needed for a DRO!

Hi,

 

MKDP are correct in saying that overdrafts are not covered by a CCA.

 

MKDP have started to issue CCJ's for debts that they own, do MKDP own the debt or are they collecting on behalf of HSBC?

it's been updated on Equifax that the account is with them, so I would assume they have purchased the debt, however when I've made an issue with them re the charges etc they have directed me back to HSBC stating that they haven't added them and that's HSBC's issue?!

Emm some misconception here there is no CCA for an overdraft. Nor is a default notice needed a demand for repayment in full is sent/recall of facility.

 

 

So the pre April 2007 matter is of no relevance here at all.

 

I presume this shows as defaulted on credit reference files?

 

 

Are MKDP currently pressing for payment?

they're not overly pressing no, which to me seems quite odd, it's just the same standard letter every couple of months or so; I'm kinda tempted to let this play out for as long as possible as it will be statute barred by October next year - or so I understand the ruling - 6 years after default?

 

There is a default showing on my file for a 'current account' from MKDP

To be fair having been dealing with lowell and bw for the last 12 months MKDP are great as they go!

Seriously though just keep your eye on the ball, they will issue a claim in all likelihood, just play your cards right. Submit a defence re: unlawful charges, ask for the proof they even sent me a stack of statements which i phoned to thank them for. Hey presto claim stayed he he.

Hi all

 

I have an old debt with HSBC (not quite SB'd) but not too far off.

 

I sent a standard 'prove it letter' and have received back a pack containing bank statements. Does this infact 'prove it'?

 

Any help you could give would be appreciated :)

What type of debt ? Loan, Credit card, current account.

 

Statements would certainly prove that at one time you had an account with them. However, it doesn't prove that any agreement entered into was properly formatted.

It's 5 years old

 

The debt is about £1500, of which 50% is made up of charges, so am guessing the interest will also be considerable. I'm tempted to try and fight the charges on hardship grounds as I was unable to pay rent and council tax at the time, and also had a massive drop in income following a relationship breakdown and being diagnosed with an illness.

Hi, wondered if anyone could help please,

 

Had a long running issue with MKDP, attempting to recover a debt for a historic overdraft which included excessive charges.

 

I'd asked for a copy of the CCA agreement, which they couldn't provide, then just before Christmas they sent through a CCA statement.

 

What I'm trying to get at is is the debt covered by the CCA or not? If not, then why are they sending me these statements?

I think it is partially covered by the Consumer Credit Act although I am not sure to what extent. It think they are still obliged to send you the statements because of the interest element - are they still adding interest to the debt ?

Hi all

 

I have a debt with HSBC which has been sold to the delightful MKRR.

 

The debt's about £1500 and is 50% charges, which I am complaining to HSBC about and arguing hardship - their first response was a standard we think it was fair blah blah blah so I replied with further info about my personal circumstances...

 

Re the statute barred query; is it 6 years from the date they actually sent the default notice or is it six years since I last serviced the debt ie made a payment to the account?

6 Years in England & Wales from when the Account became collectable, i.e. date of first missed payment on an Overdraft, Loan or Credit Card or from when you last sent a written acknowledgement of the debt.

It's 5 years if your in Scotland.

Hi all

 

Well - the plot thickens with my ongoing battle with HSBC and MKDP. I have started a complaint surrounding the charges on the grounds of hardship and this will be going to the Ombudsman for further consideration.

 

I've asked HSBC to provide a copy of the terms and conditions that were applicable to the account at the time when the charges were applied and the transactions were made; they cannot provide me with these. When I worked within the debt recovery team at E.ON the Ts and Cs would have been an essential part of a claim - how can a supplier / institution demonstrate that they have acted in line with a contract if they cannot furnish the customer with a copy of the terms and conditions?

 

This raises the question as to whether the debt is enforceable without the terms and conditions?

 

I mentioned in my complaint to HSBC that as it had been over six years since the initial cause of action that I consider the debt to be statute barred. They responded that MKDP need to respond tho this.

 

Any further advice would be really welcome at this point :)

If the debt is statute barred, and you submit a claim for charges - then it is likely they will simply offset against the outstanding balance.

 

It has been known for original lenders to buy back an account to offset charges/ppi reclaims.

Thanks CitizenB, I read somewhere that the debt becomes due from the date of the first letter asking for repayment of the balance, and this is the date where the clock starts ticking for time barring.

 

Any thoughts on the terms and conditions issue? Surely the Ts and Cs that were applicable at the time form the 'contract' and must be provided?

If they were issuing a claim against you for the debt, then the original terms and conditions would be required for them to make their claim as they formed part of the contract. Hope that helps :)

So...

 

A very very old debt, that i'm certain is SB'd has reared it's head again and Robbers Way have sent me a letter asking to fill out an I&E form

 

I'm not going to respond, and they're not asking for payment or threatening further action - do you think they know it's unenforcable hence the letters not having the usual threatogram tone?
