    • If we can establish that he is trading then you will be protected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If we can't establish that then he would have to be treated as a private seller. I know that on Facebook you have been advised that you have very few rights – but this is not true. Apart from anything else, it's an offence to sell a vehicle which is not in roadworthy condition and it sounds to me as if your vehicle is not in roadworthy condition although we may will have to get an independent inspection. I understand that you had a mechanic give it a pre-MOT cheque. Was that before or after it was purchased? A few problems here – first of all, the van was very cheap. This doesn't reduce your rights anyway but what it does mean is that it may be less worthwhile taking an action that we will have to work that out later. Secondly, you bought the van from a dealer about 130 miles away. This means that if it has to be returned, there is a 130 mile trip to get it there and then you have to come back. Although it's a bit late for you, please follow the link to our used car guide and see what we say about protecting yourself when you buy used cars and in particular what's the little video towards the end of the thread. You won't feel good about it but you may as well learn something for the future and of course other people who visit this thread for that as well. Finally, if we end up having you bring a claim against him in the County Court, I have no doubt but that you will win but enforcement could be tricky. I think the first thing to do is to consult the land registry web search service and find out if he owns the property that is trading from. If he does then at least you have identified an asset and enforcement will be much easier. You can access the land registry website here Summary of freehI think it will cost you about 3 pounds.old - Search for land and property information SEARCH-PROPERTY-INFORMATION.SERVICE.GOV.UK I think it will cost you about £3 or so. Make sure you use the website link I have given you above. It is a government one. There are lots of private websites which look as if they are government and they charge you a lot more money for giving you exactly the same information.

    • 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.

My Wife has a very old debt through Barclays that was sold to P&J years ago.

 

Just recently they have started a lot of stick waving,

 

 

getting their in house solicitors Foulds to threaten her with a CCJ if she didn't pay the outstanding amount with seven days.

 

we sent them a CCA request.

 

Today they have returned the Postal Order saying that they do not have a copy of the CCA at their office

and it may take some time to retrieve the original documentation from Barclays.

 

I know Barclays have an uncanny knack of obtaining old micro film

( the last one we got via Link was a credit application and totally ineligible )

 

What is her next move ?

 

 

Are P&J in breach of her CCA request ?

 

Should she continue to pay them ?

More info on this debt please.

 

Rough Date of agreement signing

Original Creditor

Current OWNER of debt

Rough Amount

TYPE of Debt (EG credit card overdraft loan?)

 

With the above information your question can be answered more accuratly.

But on a side note if it is an agreement where a CCA is present they will be able to reconstruct an agreement.

Ok debt as far as we can remember is for an Overdraft.

P&J have owned the debt since 1996 ( purchased from Barclays OC)

The amount outstanding is approx. £3k.

Should I send them a non compliance to my CCA request letter and put it into dispute ?

Hi Everett,

 

Have you checked YW's CRA file recently to see if this is still showing.

 

It would also be good if you know when this a/c was formally defaulted.

 

Do you have the old data for this a/c to check if there was any PPI on the loan, or if YW suffered penalty charges when she fell behind with payments. These could still be reclaimed to reduce the balance that's owed.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Not on CRF.

 

When I say not missed a payment, that is to P&j.

 

My wife has been making low payments since 1996 to them.

 

They have just started using bully boy tactics and demanding she clears the balance.

 

What is her next move or can anyone point us to what letter we should send ?

 

They have returned the CCA fee and said they don't have a copy of the CCA.

 

But they also said, it may take some time to retrieve the original CCA from Barclays.

 

So what if, say in a months time they get hold of the original agreement , will it be valid ?

Yes, but they cant legally take any action until they do so you can in theory stop paying them until they comply. I would be continuing with the current arrangement and let them know that they can do nothing until they do comply.

You also need to find out what charges they have added on to the debt, if any. They should have sent you annual statements of account so again, you can halt payments until the comply on this point as well.

To find out about charges and fees from barclays you will need to send Barclays a SAR

Hi Everett,

 

There's little point in speculating about whether the bank or DCA will produce a credit agreement. Worry about what to do IF they produce a valid agreement.

 

Until that happens, the DCA cannot take collection or enforcement action.

 

As per Eric's post above, please let us know about penalty charges and/or PPI as requested in my last post.

  • 1 year later...

Last year on the advice of this forum we sent a CCA request to P&J.

 

They returned the postal order saying that they did not hold a copy at their office and it would take some time to produce.

 

It is now 13 months later and still no CCA.

 

On Friday we had another letter from Foulds solicitors demanding payment in full and threatening court action

( regular payments have been made but the debt is very old, around 20 years from my wife's from a previous marriage )

 

Should I send them another CCA request or a Dispute letter ?

 

Or are CCAs no longer valid ?

 

 

What is a CPR ?

 

Thanks

Hi Everett,

 

CPR are the Civil Procedural Rules. They govern all aspects of litigation and set rules that should be followed before, during and after court action.

 

Unless YW is prepared to challenge the DCA by stopping paying, nothing will change. YW will keep paying for as long as this outfit keeps threatening her.

 

1. Have you been sent annual statements showing how the payments are reducing the amount owed on the loan a/c.

 

2. Is any interest being added to the balance.

 

3. Approx how much is owed now.

 

4. How much is being paid each month.

 

I'd ignore the sol'rs until you give us more info.

it is current wisdom

once the CCA fails

 

 

you go quiet

they are quite well aware that they have no legs after a CCa fail.

however in your case

the CCJ trumps the need for a compliant reply
