    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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.

Hope someone can point us in the right direction.

 

We have combined debts of 45K dating back to 2007.

 

Took out an IVA in 2008, IVA failed March 2010.

 

There are 8 separate creditors ranging from current a/c overdrafts, credit cards etc (all unsecured).

 

We have been paying DCA's on some of the debts

but have received letters from other parties asking for funds regarding the same debts.

 

We have stopped all payments. Have checked credit reports and some say assigned, some say satisfied?

 

We would like to find out the true outstanding amounts because we have paid over £3,750 into the IVA

which seems to have gone to their costs and not to the debts.

 

Do we send CCA letters to the DCA's that we have been paying nominal amounts

or do we wait for them to contact us?

Also should we contact original banks regarding PPI claims?

 

We have a mortgage and a secured loan which is about the value of the house so no equity left.

 

Been trying to sort this out for years,

both now have serious health problems and have 10 years to retirement

(if we make it - with no where it live!).

 

Desperate to clear these debts once and for all.

 

Thanks for any advice:???:

best idea first is to go get your credit files

 

see what shows.

 

then p'haps list your debts & who owns them here.

 

certainly CCA requests for everything bar bank accounts is a very good idea

 

send them to whomever you are currently paying

 

£! BLANK PO do not sign the letters

 

as for PPI

 

yes an SAR to the original creditor

 

if you have multiple accounts with the same bank

 

then only one SAR is needed.

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...

Sorry I have taken so long getting back but this took some time to get all info.

 

Should we only send CCA letters to the companies that have contact us and have chased for payments?

 

We do not obviously want to alert them as we believe one or two may become statue barred (6 years).

 

I have listed below debts.

 

1. Lloyds Current Account defaulted 12/2008.

Debt Assigned Aug 2012 CAIS member,

sold to SP5/TTISPC,

was paying Fenton Cooper £5 per month have stopped payments.

Experian Report Balance Satisfied. Currant balance £3,459

 

2. MBNA loan defaulted 12/2008. S

old to Max Recovery (Eversheds) May 2009.

Was paying Max Recovery then Fairfax Solicitors £5 per month have stopped payments.

Does not show on Experian Report. Current balance £14,898.

 

3. The next two are difficult to work out,

we have had no contact with anyone regarding the accounts since IVA was ceased 02/2010.

 

We believe the accounts may have got mixed up along the way,

these are

A: Goldfish / Barclaycard Credit Card defaulted 10/2008 current balance on Experian report £8,117. and

B: Barclaycard Cashback statement ?

 

Down as credit card/store card balance £6,251.

 

4. Egg/Barclaycard credit card defaulted 09/2008.

Was paying Moorcroft £5 per month have stopped payments.

 

Received a letter on 22/4/14 from Allied International Credit informing account has been assigned to them, and o

n 10/5/14 received letter from Moorcroft informing that account is closed and r eturned to client. Balance £4,016.

 

5. MBNA – credit card defaulted 11/2008.

31/10/08 MBNA assigned and transferred to Max Recovery.

Was paying £5 per month, stopped payments. Current balance £111.

 

6. Alliance & Leicester/Santander – personal loan.

Defaulted 09/2008.

No payments made.

Received letter of notice of sums in arrears 11/2013.

Have not entered any correspondence with them.

Balance £4,583.

 

7. Lloyds Bank Current A/c overdraft.

Defaulted 08/2008.

12/2011 sold and transferred account to SP5/TTISPC

on 30/12/12 SPF charged all of its rights, title and interest in the account in security to Haymarket Financial LLP.

Also receiving letters from Fenton Cooper.

Paid a one-off payment of £5 by mistake on 1/9/13. Balance £2,793.

 

Debts 1 to 3 are my husbands and 4 to 7 are mine

none of these accounts were joint although all of our finances are shared.

 

Unfortunately these debts go back a long way,

many have been loans to clear other debts, overdrafts etc.

 

Unfortunately we were unable to keep up the payments on the IVA.

A bit painful of going into all details of how we got in this mess but can supply info if it helps.

 

Thanks again any help gratefully received

who the.. is SP5/TTISPC

 

what I would do here is start a thread for each debt

in the named forum of the original creditor

when/if letters start to arrive for that debt.

If you have been making payments via the IVA up to 2010 then the debts wont be statute barred until around 2016 !

 

Do any of the debts have Payment Protection Insurance attached.

 

Would you know if htere are any default/penalty charges attached to any of the debts ?

Hi CitizenB

 

No. 6 Alliance & Leicester definitely had PPI, not sure about the others. As for default/penalty charges we are unsure.

 

As we have had no dealings with Alliance & Leicester, if we pursue PPI with them we are worried that by contacting them they will start chasing us for the debt. We are also worried that if we contact the others about PPI it will just start them all off as they seem to be quiet at the moment.
