    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
    • Just be careful with your language on what you post here - Keep it above board Lets see what you send to the big boss. 
    • I made that payment on 13th Feb, then it all went down hill. 
    • Massive potentially that payment has been made in some form as accompanying evidence to your financial difficulties.  And yes, but add some more zing to the email if it goes to the CEO - You need to make them understand what they have done. And telling the CEO  / MD of the biz what their actions have done to you - It adds to the complaint weighting.

    • 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

 

I've received a county court claim form from Marlin Europe II LImited Via

Mortimer Clarke Solicitors

 

It states

 

By an agreement between Lloyds Tsb ("LTSB") & the defendant on or around 01/07/1994 ("The agreement") LTSB

agreed to issue the Defendant with a credit card upon the terms & conditions set out therein.

 

 

In Breach of the agreement the defendant failed to make the minimum payments due

& the agreement was terminated.

 

 

The agreement was assigned to the claimant on 28/11/2013.

 

The claimant therefore claims

1: 13238.23

2. Interest pursuant to section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984, namely

2947.92 & continuing until judgement or sooner payment at the rate of 2.90

 

PLEASE HELP

Two threads merged. Please keep to this one thread for this issue.

 

On 8th May we asked you for more information....please let us have the details requested.

 

What is the date on the claim form?

 

Have you Acknowledged service?

 

Failure to comply with a CCA request should mean that they cannot enforce the any debt through the courts but you must get a defence in.

I do not acknowledge that this debt belongs to me.

I have issued a CPR 31.14 to Mortimer Clarke Solicitors requesting all documents relevant to this claim

Also a CCA request has been sent to Marlin Europe

Can we have the full story behind this.

 

I do not acknowledge that this debt belongs to me.

 

Is this not your debt then? What are the circumstances as to why you don't think the debt is yours?

 

As I say, the full story would be useful.

I had a credit card with Lloyds years ago which was cleared in full when I was given the money by a family member to clear it.

 

I submitted my defence on line so do I need to add to it to say not received documentation requested?

 

 

 

 

Is there a follow up letter I can send to MArlin and MOrtimer Clarke? Please help me

 

Defence submitted 12//05/14.

Hi Andy

 

The claim was stayed but

 

now I have received a letter from the court to stating that they have applied for the stay to be removed

and that I will be advised as to when a court hearing will take place.

 

What do I do now?

 

The CCA agreement they sent me is dated 1998 and it looks like that it has been tampered with

as this cannot relate to rhis account which they stated was opened after this date.

 

Also I am missing the letter if assignment which they state they have sent me should I ask for a copy of this again?

 

Thank you in anticipation of your help

Hi Roog1e

 

Not to panic await the notice of hearing date and start to prepare for any hearing...may be prudent to draft a witness statement in response to their application to lift the stay..outlining their failing so far and as to why their application should be dismissed.

Hi

I have had a letter from the county court stating debt collectors have applied to have the stay removed

and that I will receive a hearing date within the next 3 weeks.

 

 

I had previously submitted letter to debt recovery company CPR31:14

 

 

I received copy of credit card application form from 1998 which has lots of crossing outs on it

and been tampered with as debt they are chasing is from 2010.

 

 

Also no notice of assignment received.

 

 

Shall I request copies again?

trying to magic up paperwork hoping you'll fall for it huh?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

That's an illegible application form..... 2 out of 10 for effort.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Ok thanks Andy

 

I've had a look through but not really sure which one to use in my case.

 

Would u be able to point out one so that I can get an idea of what I should be including,

 

then I can write my defence around it.

 

Thank you again I'm sorry to be a pain but I think that the stress of this is not allowing me to think clearly.

Hi can anyone help me with this please?

 

The Notice of assignment and default notice, statement of accounts have all been provided in the court particulars but not provided to me prior to this despite being requested.

The CCA provided relates to an old credit card account taken out in 1994 which is no longer in use and it is illegible in places.

How do I write my defence around this please.

Andy will be along with better advice for you.

 

But if the agreement is illegible then I do believe it is unen, unless they changed those rules too?

Besides they WILL need the original document produced in court.

 

Did you make a CPR 31.14 request to see these documents or a CCA request?

 

If it was under the CPR rules, then that should form part of your defence, in that they failed to comply with pre action protocols blah blah blah.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
