    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

  • 4 weeks later...

Returned the DQ before christmas and got contacted by the mediation service yesterday. Now waiting on BW to agree to date for mediation.

 

I just need to check again Andy -

1. Do I need to submit or prepare any additional material for the mediator?

2. Will the mediation be in the form of a conference call with the BW layers, the mediator and I? OR the mediator rings both parties and ascertains facts separately?

3. I just need to reiterate that BW/Lowells have failed to prove that debt is not SB

1. Just make sure you have complete history of events to hand for reference.

2. Separate.

3. "I submitted a S B defence, which is absolute. They failed to provide evidence to the contrary. On what grounds therefore do they propose to mediate?"

 

If indeed BMW can be ***ed to participate at all. Nice for you if they can't.

Thanks for clarifying Oleg. I take it from your statement that these lot sometimes don't participate in the mediation even after indicating willingness to proceed.

 

The lady from the mediation team said she'd seek to get a date from them but if they don't get an agreeable date from BW the case will be transferred to Local County court.

 

Can the mediator rule in my favour if they fail to participate or will it have to go to a judge?

They know it will count against them if they haven't shown willing.

 

If they don't take part at all, that's the only thing the mediator would record. It's not their role to evaluate and report to the judge.

 

No guarantee that it will reach proceedings. It could do so but BMW fail to turn up. If it suits them they will. If it doesn't, they won't.

 

Sorry to be so vague but that's the nature of the beast.

Received from BW the credit agreement for the account in question two days before the mediation.

 

 

Their letter also stated that their client is amenable to settling this matter with me on a commercial footing.

 

 

They are willing to accept £376 in final settlement in full or repayments.

 

Nothing sent to prove its not SB.

 

Thoughts?

Update: Mediation took place this morning.

 

 

BW/Lowell said they wanted to proceed on the notion that the debt wasn't SB under section 5 of the Limitations act.

 

 

They were basing this on the default date being the cause of action date.

 

 

I argued the cause of action to be the date of last payment in July.

 

 

They made offers ranging from 20%-50% reductions which I did not accept.

 

 

This now looks like it will be proceeding to the County Court and a judge will decide if its SB or not.

that's the usual rubbish application form.

 

 

no joy there on it ever being enforceable

As dx says, that is not enforceable.

 

 

Do you want to go to Court, or would you rather try and persuade them to back off by raising some issues in correspondence? It's a pity these Capital One accounts ever get taken to Court because if you nip it in the bud with Lowell they'll often leave you alone.

 

 

If you do go to Court you should be okay provided you don't get a mad judge!

Thanks guys. I stupidly assumed the CCA sent through was admissable.

 

 

My preference would be to nip this in the bud and avoid court in general but if push came to shove i'd be happy to go to court.

 

Please share suggestions on how to raise these issues via correspondence
