    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.

    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Hi,

 

Your advice has not been wasted, and I've contacted the various oc 's with Sar requests. You should have seen what I got back from Abbey!

It's just that caring for my mother and her Alzheimer's has been somewhat traumatic and I've had to both focus on that, and hold down a job. Not easy, I can tell you.

 

What I have established, is that each of the oc's has adequately confirmed that I do indeed owe them money, and how much, and that moorcroft certainly do not have authority to deal with Tye account from abbey that they claimed.

I'm now, once again, in the process of doing the same with capquest.

They say they are 'managing' the account. Not good enough for me, so I've told them I'm not prying them, but will continue to pay the oc.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat, and we must take the current when it serves,

Or lose our ventures.

Abbey came back with loads the last time. I couldn't believe how much paper it generated. It must have been over an inch thick!

 

I thought my noddle credit report would show the owners of each of the debts though.

 

I'm afraid my computer is dying too. I just get a whining and a black screen at the mo!

 

I don't want my fiancée finding out about too much though. Her daughter is in serious debt trouble and she's fallen out with her over it. I don't want her tarring me with the same brush. When asked, I've told her that I'm 'managing my finances'!

Thank you for the info. I use wisecare etc at the mo, and I'm not worried about her getting into the pc.

 

I'm more concerned about the amount of mail it'll generate.

 

I've got some ppi to claim back from Halifax & NatWest I think, and I've covered my tracks with that so far.

That and the amount of time she'll notice I'm on the pc for. Letters out & in etc.

 

I really don't want to queer this pitch. We are planning to get married next year!

well if you don't it'll be around for years

and settling by F&F wont stop it all either.

 

 

sorry but time and again you've been told to deal with these debts head on

if you'd done that when first advised

I bet it would have all been over with by now.

I know.

 

It's just that I had masses on my plate with my mother and her care, and holding down a job at the same time. It all seemed to get away from me!

 

I was on antidepressants for a while too!

 

So, to be clear.

I sent out the cca letters and got adequate responses back from several.

Are you suggesting that I do it all over again? To every one of my creditors?

I think I'll have to establish a local po box for the responses. Shouldn't need it long though!

I'm afraid I've had to move twice since I got them back & they got put out in the rubbish rather than them be discovered.

 

I'll set up a PO box here and send them out again though it'll take a few days!

 

Do you not think that given that I'm not employed & nearing retirement, if I offered them say 10%, they'd take it as f&f?

 

If the worst came to the worst, I could live with them just getting £1pcm though.

 

Moving home while on antidepressants wasn't fun, I can tell you!

I will get this together though.

typically an F&F to an OC is not a good idea and you'd get little discount

however, you'd need to get ALL the statements vi an sar first before even considering an F&D to the OC

if/if not they hold an enforceable agreement is a deciding factor as well.

 

 

if the debt is now owned by a DCA, then all bets are off as to what discount you can get.

bottom line though is the defaulted date of each debt

 

 

regardless to whatever you do, they will vanish from your file on the defaults 6th birthday

, but that doesn't mean the debt is not possibly owed.

 

 

F&F also resets the SB date, and can give rise to the OC selling the remainder on, negating the F&F anyway.

I've been paying them all at £5pcm, so I guess that means I've acknowledged them, at least to the OCs.

I'm guessing that they'll all pass, which means I'm back to square 1. We'll see what occurs over the next 3 weeks!

 

Surely a full and final settlement of the debt is just that. A settlement. Thereafter there being no debt.

keep going round in circles

you need to keep the issues separate

if you've been paying

that has no bearing upon if they hold enforceable paperwork!

no paperwork= no pay.

 

 

and as I've said time and again

an F&F is NOT full and final

the debt will be marked as Partial settlement not SETTLED.

 

 

thus the remainder exists and CAN AND DOES get sold on years down the line

always best to demand total removal of the debt form your file if you want to settled

and then when they say no, you'll realise why...

It's just my understanding.

  • 3 weeks later...

I have received a letter from crapquest that says they are now 'managing' one of my 5 accounts.

 

I am back now & will send them an SAR today.

 

I believe that they then have 40 days to respond.

 

I will scan in what I get back and take it from there.

 

All of these accounts defaulted in 2009, post a rather messy, (and expensive), divorce.

It's the Sainsbury's Bank one. It went default in 2009.

 

I'll send a CCA request asap. I didn't send the SAR although I printed it and put it in a SAE.

you cant CCA a bank account

so sar to sainsburys is the only thing you can do to get anything and that would be statements.

 

 

its probably all charges anyway

which is why they sold it to a fleecing DCA.

 

 

pers i'd just stop paying.

Ok.

 

I've been paying Sainsburys Bank £5pcm for years.

Now Crapquest have said I have to pay them as they are managing the account now as it's been transferred to them from Arrow Global.

 

Sticking just with the Sainsburys Bank one, an unsecured loan, what do I do now?

A, continue paying the £5pcm into Sainsburys, or

B, stop the payment to Sainsburys and start one to crapquest, or

C, stop paying altogether.

 

I'd be interested to know what would happen in each case though, although I guess that if I do nothing, nothing will change.

I don't think I said it was a bank account. At least I'm sure I didn't.

 

It was a personal loan through Sainsbury's Bank.

No probs.

 

I'll send the cca, but what will happen if I stop paying Sainsbury's.

their letter says that all the payments I have made to date have been sent to them.

 

 

That would indicate that they, Arrow with capquest managing it on their behalf, own the loan & therefore they may have legitimate reason to say I should be paying them.

 

Is it possible that they have lost the paper trail & would therefore fail a cca?

 

If they do & I stop payments as a result, is the loan unenforceable?
