    • Ok, so just been to see my friend, she still has her head firmly in the sand and had a pile of unopened post, thankfully nothing serious apart from this case!    In answer to your question it says N24 General Directions Order at the bottom of the page, then on page 2 where the line says "As a result of an order made on the 1 May 2024, this claim has been transferred to the county court at ##### (friends local court) " this is N271 Notice of transfer of proceedings.  Within the stack of letters I found 2 from Kearns Solicitors,    02-12-2022 Document pack with covering letter stating under the s78 CCA please see enclosed  1) A copy of the executed Credit Agreement, 2)  A copy of the terms & conditions 3) A copy of the varied terms & conditions applicable at termination / assignment, and  4) A statement regarding the conduct of your account as requested by s78(1)(a) to (c)  (Would you like me to describe the documents attached?)   18-02-2023 Generic letter asking for her to contact them to discuss settlement or they will take to court for further legal action. 
    • well you made the cardinal sin by phoning these scammers at least once so their persistence could go on. however you are new so there you go. you never ever ever phone any of these likes of scammers on these fake schemes that seem plausible.  just like a DCA chasing any old debt .. they are NOT BAILIFFS and have  ZERO legal powers to actually do anything. dx  
    • Okay understood now just based on personal experience how long does this go on for 
    • civil recovery schemes run by the likes of RLP DWF etc etc are a scam. totally IGNORE EVERYTHING. no if's or but's dx  
    • I’m 17 years old and Received 2 letters from dwf with my name spelt wrong and they are asking for for £230.40. I rang dwf civil recovery the first time upon taking advice from citizens advice to explain to delay to deadline as I was in the process of receiving advice which wasn’t much help. When that deadline was done I then called again to delay the deadline as I’m struggling financially and it’s lot of money they are asking for and I tried to dispute the cost to which they said okay we will delay it another 7 days for you to dispute the cost but I asked them how do I dispute this to you or Sainsbury’s and they said “we can’t advise you on this matter” I’ve read a lot of threads saying to ignore them but I was unsure now as I’ve made contact and have tried to dispute the payment and pay it which might mean I have admitted. Would they just persist harder and take me to court eventually or file for a ccj.   I would like to ignore them still but I would like to send a strong email so they know I’m clued up and then ignore them. I also want to pay the reasonable amount and get this matter solved. any advice on the law or similar situations are helpful when I called them I asked for an itemised bill. £101 stolen goods  ( supposedly caught me because they watched me on cctv over the duration of the week) also why did they not stop me in the first day. £20.40 recovered goods £150 security costs     Thank you

    • 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.

In what sense?

Are you suggesting that they haven't passed the debt over to someone else and are pocketing the money themselves?

Are you suggesting the debt isn't enforceable?

 

I do find it peculiar that they say they passed the debt on, but were taking the overhead of taking my money, then passing it on.

I would have thought if they passed it on, they would not want to deal with the admin of handling the money.

It's only £2 a month as well.

just received a letter his morning from westcot.

 

it is confirming the account is being dealt with by credit security.

they have given me a reference number and an 0845 number.

 

what now?

still send CCA to westcot?

still send money to westcot, as credit security havent contacted me directly?

do I contact credit security?

what I am going to do is send a photocopy of the letter to credit security and the £1 PO to credit security.

(got their address off t'internet)

 

if credit security is account holder, then they are the ones to provide the CCA.

if they reject they are holders, then the letter westcot have written is false.

Be very careful that you do not in anyway acknowledge liability for the alleged debt.

Personally I would wait for credit security to contact you then make a CCA request.

 

if westcot are no longer holders of debt, can I stop paying them?

I dont want to default, or give anyone reason to escalate to make things worse by demanding full balance straight off.

 

also, westcot told me on phone last week that they passed debt onto credit security middle of last year!

I have had no communications from these new people at all.

If you do not have CSs details for making payments you cannot reasonably make any payments.

 

I would not be confident that any payment you make now to Wescot will reach CSs.

see what happens.

ok. first steps taken.

 

CCA requests sent to 1stCredit, Capquest and Moorcroft.

Paid extra 1.70 to get signature at other end.

 

Next step:

1: prep list of original creditors, and prep for SARs.

2: remove westcot from my list of creditors; and await any action from creditsecurity.

 

Am I giving too much info? Should I be more circumspect about this?

this is getting surreal.

 

this morning I got a text from Arrow Global offering a "fantastic discount" on my account.

thought nothing of it.

 

But just now got a text from capquest to call them about a "potential offer".

 

its almost as if they are reading this forum and thread!!

 

what do you make of this?

should I call them to see what they say?

is this weakening their case, and they're trying to get out with a lump sum from me?

 

I am perplexed.

do I ignore them, and let the CCA approach run its course?

or call them up and find out what they're looking for?

 

what's in my best interest?

(if the amounts are low enough, I would be happy to be shot of them. clean slate and all that.

but it would have to be 10-15% on the biggest debts.)

 

are you saying they have sussed my specific identity from the info I have posted?

thats what I was alluding to about being too free about my details.

no they haven't sussed you out

 

never ever ring a DCA

 

follow the CCA route

 

that's what has prompted the discounts

 

you've sent a CCA request to them

 

they KNOW its not enforceable

 

so are begging for more money

 

sadly, these actions are a classic sign of you being cash cowed all these years

the CCAs cant have prompted the texts, as I only sent the letters this morning; ie, they cant have received them yet.

the only info they could have accessed is this forum!

I feel I am giving too much info here, regarding accounts.

  • 1 month later...

well, a belated update.

 

3 DCAs were sent £1 for CCAs.

 

All 3 responded acknowledging receipt.

(I had checked that the Royal Mail had stored the electronic signatures on receipt)

 

The 3 letters acknowledgements are dated: Mar 1st, 4th and 7th.

What now?

 

PS: meantime, I think I will prep CCAs for Freds, as it turns out they actually own 3 separate debts of mine.

they have 12+2 working days only!

 

if they fail that timeline

 

you are quite within your rights to stop payments

until they provide an enforceable CCA

actually, 2 of the 3 DCAs wrote allowing me to stop payments until they sorted it out, which I thought quite good of them.

 

I am wary of stopping payments, as it is only £1 a month, a small amount for relative piece of mind.

 

Also, there is another thread in this forum berating the debtor for using a CCA

not being fulfilled within 14 days as a reason to stop payment.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?421323-Link-Financial-response-from-my-CCA-request

 

It is such a slow process, but things seem to be moving.

 

I would like to know a more realistic time-frame for DCAs to respond to a CCA request?

 

The other thread seems to think failure to respond doesn't mean the debt isn't valid, and no reason to stop payments.

 

I acknowledge the debts, as I genuinely ran them up in a time of personal turmoil,

but I think if the originator has written them off,

I would like closure even if a token payment is a price.

 

But I don't want to be beholden to some speculative, parasitic, bottom-feeding, chancers.

stopping payment does not hurt you.

 

keeping up payments does

 

the longer you do it

 

the further away sb becomes.
