    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?

    • 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.

Hello,

 

 

Excuse my attention grabbing title, im in a bit of a panic.

 

 

I had an original loan with Northern Rock for £9k. This defaulted in June 2009 with around £5k remaining.

This was registered on my credit file under NRAM but is now under Marlin.

 

 

Since 2009 I have been making payments of £30 per month to NRAM who have never contacted me after I set up the initial direct debit amount with them and have never sent me any letters saying they have passed along the loan to someone else.

 

 

I did check the NRAM webpage which said a number of loans had been sold onto other debt collection companies so assume Marlin have bought this.

 

 

Friday, I received a letter from Marlin offering a 50% reduction on the amount of £4332 if I paid in 7 days.

 

 

Saturday I received a letter from Marlin saying I had to contact them to arrange a payment plan, they also sent a form asking for my mortgage amount, employment status and bank details!

 

 

I'm a little panicky over how to proceed, as I can barely afford my month to month living now.

 

 

Please any advice would be great!

Hi,

 

First of all stay off of the phone and do not talk to Marlin, you need to keep everything in writing.

 

If you have an existing payment plan then Marlin have to honour it but I would send Marlin a CCA request instead.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387435-CCA-Request-Consumer-Credit-Act-1974

Enclose a £1 Postal Order and then scan in, remove any personal identifiers and others will advise.

 

If Marlin are offering a 50% reduction then they do this for a quick payment because mainly the account does have problems associated with it.

 

Have you ever been sent any statements?

 

Did NRAM freeze interest & charges or just keep adding them?

 

Has you paid by Direct Debit these need to be cancelled now.

DCA's have in the past abused this system and will empty an Account, only ever pay via Standing Order, that way you remain in complete control.

 

You also need to obtain a copy of your credit file, being a 2009 loan this should still be on their so hopefully will yield more information.

Noddle is free but is the least of the 3 credit reference agencies, Experian & Equifax do offer free trials but remember to download your data and cancel within 30 days or your card will be charged up to £14.99pcm.

You can also obtain via post, £2 Postal Order, the forms are on each of their websites.

 

May also be worth sending Northern Rock a SAR Request, this costs £10 but will show all your statements (Until Sold) and all history, this will also include any information on PPI & charges, these can be reclaimed.

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

Hello Stigman,

 

 

Many thanks for your reply, I will get a CCA sent off.

I have never had any statements from NRAM nor a letter stating the £30 agreement, this was all done over the phone 5 years or so ago.

I have checked my noddle account and the Marlin/Nram loan is on there as defaulted the only change is that it is now Marlin rather than NRAM.

 

 

This did freeze interest and as far as I'm aware, no charges have been added.

 

 

I will cancel the direct debit now and set up a standing order.

 

 

Many thanks for your help I really just want to make this go away.

I will cancel the direct debit now and set up a standing order.

 

What was the original date of the loan of when you took it out?

I just re-read and it said you defaulted in 2009.

 

Personally, do not set up a Standing Order until Marlin have produced & replied fully to your CCA Request.

You then need to check full balances, the amount you have paid to the total of the debt, PPI, Charges etc.

 

Only then can you consider a payment, until then do not pay them a penny.

 

Do not speak on the telephone, the agents are just on minimal wage with commission top up including collection enhancements so you need to keep everything in writing, if they do call, refuse to go through the security questions, tell them in writing only and hang up.

Hi Stig,

 

 

ok the original loan was taken out on 30/11/2005 then defaulted on 22/05/2009.

The noddle report says the default balance is £6190 which is oddly the same as the opening balance. The current balance is £4264.

 

 

I really appreciate all your help.

Cca them. Marlin offering a discount like that usually means a lemon debt. Try not to think too much about it though as the letters are automated.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hello all,

 

I finally received a letter from Marlin yesterday,

 

 

It says they don't have all the information requested so will get n touch with the original creditor (NRAM)

 

 

they also sent a copy of the Notice of assignment.

 

My question is,

 

 

do I continue to pay my monthly amount (£35 standing order)?

 

Typically how long does it take them to get the CCA back from the original creditor?

 

Many thanks,

Sim,

 

 

 

 

Was this loan a secured loan not a mortgage?

 

 

CCA request goes to the DCA, the time scale is 12 +2 working days.

You are not obliged to give Marlin any such information!

 

 

A SAR to NRAM is your next step I think, get all the data that NRAM holds on this.

 

 

Template in CAG library, stat fee £10 to pay. 40 days to comply.

 

 

The figures don't tie up and you don't I think know what is actually outstanding?

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.
