    • Thank you to you all, you guys are amazing!! Yes of course i will be making a donation, i am very grateful to you all. Keep up the good work
    • I'm not quite out of the woods yet. The email they sent me also said that I have £290 of arrears and it has been passed onto their collections department. If anything my account should be £10 in credit.  They haven't taken into account the trainers that were returned back in October. The other items have been credited to my account so it looks like I've still got work to do.  They are not very quick to reply to emails, although I've only sent one trying to find more information, and I have no idea what happens next. Half of me want's to get it sorted properly the other half just wants it over with, if that means a default then so be it. 
    • No. It's a public (council maintained) road with some houses in it.   Some other houses back onto it too and those owners have right of way down the road to access the back of their properties.  Theres a few garages with private osp - so one drives out the garage, over the osp, and onto the public side road and then out on to the public main road.  Irrespective of whether the garages are used - the local businesses parking their cars on the private osp are ostensibly preventing cars from accessing the public roads.
    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?

    • 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 All,

 

I need some advice on how to proceed. I will seek to outline as much as I can below

 

In July 2008 I fell into financial difficulty when I lost an IT contract and struggled to pay all my bills including my credit card bill with Capital One.

 

 

I thought no big problem here,

 

 

I have PPI and will claim... Big Mistake.

 

 

They didn't pay out as PPI wasn't for people in my situation i.e Self-employed.

 

 

Suffice to say the account went into default in Nov 2008 for £680.

 

 

I commenced my pursuit to get

i.)the default removed

ii.) PPI repaid for mis-selling.

 

Capital One ignored me for years even and sold debt to Lowell in Jan 2011.

I never acknowledged debt with Lowell instead directed them to CO as an account in dispute.

 

 

In 2013 CO admitted misselling and refunded PPI payments to the tune of £340 and promised to notify Lowell accordingly.

 

I didn't hear from Lowell until recently when BW Legal contacted me to say they intended to initiate legal proceedings.

 

 

I have today received a N1CPC claim form from the County Court in Northampton for £384 (Court Fees - £35, Solicitor's cost £50) totalling £469.82.

 

I do not want a CCJ on my file as I'm trying to rebuild my life and I don't believe I BW legal or Lowell are acting within the law.

 

What options are available to me?

 

 

I feel like this is Blackmail just as the account is about to become statute barred.

 

Many Thanks

As per the advice on the link provided I have also drafted a CPR31.14 request.

 

 

I am also responding to the court to defend all of this claim by submission of N9B (CPC) form within the next 24hrours.

 

 

Do I need to take any additional action at this time or wait for responses from BW/Lowell?

Are you sending a section 77/78 request also for the agreement ? Is this a Personal Loan or Credit Card?

 

With regards to acknowledgement I would advocate using MCOL and completing everything on line.

Hi Andy,

 

This is for a credit card. I wasn't initially planning to send a section 77/78 request as I already requested for the agreement within the CPR31.14.

 

 

Have I misunderstood the purpose of both requests?

 

I have registered for MCOL and will be using that.

they can in all effect, asdetailed in several threads here

ignore your CPR

 

 

they however cannot ignore a CCA request

 

 

you must send one

 

 

dx

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...

Responding to your PM

 

There are few points that need clarification first before you can finalise your defence bgizzle ...firstly.....

 

What was the date of your last payment to the account..? you state it was defaulted Nov 2008.

 

The second is with regards to the PPI refund...was the balance reduced by said amount of £340 ? Is the claim amount of £384 correct?

Andy.

 

 

Still haven't received the statutory report as requested

 

 

registered for the Credit Expert online service from experian.

 

 

The Credit Expert service wasn't as good as I expected as there was a lot of stuff missing from my file which were on my equifax and Checkmyfile.

 

 

The CR from experian did however have a Lowell entry which hasn't been updated since May 2013

and which the Experian support centre inform me is due to be removed on 10th Nov 2014.

Okay here is the Statute Barred defence......dont submit just yet.....

 

 

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

 

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1980. If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £x or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

I have been in contact with Cap 1 who inform me that the default notice was dated 8th October 2008 and default entered on 10th Nov 2008. They also confirmed the last payment they received from myself was on 15th July 2008. I hope this helps?
