    • I had to call an ambulance for my wife, but one of the paramedics was not happy, about the condition of our house, as it's cluttered. And he  would only see to my wife, on the ambulance itself. After diagnosis they took my wife to hospital. My wife was ill for a few months, and received help from the district nurses. We then got a call from a social worker, who wanted to visit us, and discuss ways to make my wife more comfortable. When I asked for more details, she became vague, but could give us a phone number, if she visited. I politely declined her offer, as I was coping, along with my daughter in caring for my wife. Then a letter arrived from another social worker, saying similar things, to the first. I didn't bother to reply. Another letter has just turned up, from the social services legal department, which doesn't say anything specific, but refers to the other social workers trying to visit us. Coming from a legal department, has badly upset my wife, who's recovery was on going, and she now fears that someone will be coming to the house, to do whatever. Do we have to respond, or take notice of these people. Also we recently had a fire prevention officer come and fit, smoke and heat detectors. He didn't voice any concerns with the conditions at the property. Worried, Paul.
    • By not sticking to the deadline which you set you have lost credibility. Your letter of claim becomes one of hundreds of others which they receive and which they put in the bin because they think that you are just bluffing.  
    • 05.05.24 Ever so sorry if I have entered this in the wrong part of this website.   My grandfather is in his 70's and retired.  He asked me to help him find a work pension that he was paying into when he was working. From 1967 - 1982 he worked for a Fabric Dying Company, Celanese, Spondon Derby UK. I have already used the GOV.uk Trace Pension Scheme. It listed a few pension companies : Akzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme formerly Courtaulds Pension Scheme.  I do not fully understand how this works but I think this scheme is administer by a company called Willis Tower Watson. We have called this company, got through to the pension department submitted all my grandfather's details (D.O.B. , N.I. no. etc.) but that agent tells that they have no record of my grandfather and ask what is the name of the pension scheme. Here is the problem, his home was burgalled in 2005 and a briefcase which contained his legal documents was stolen. So he does not know who was the Pension Scheme company. I have a this phone number 01332 681 210 for Celanese but it just rings and never gets answered. So I am asking for help if anyone can tell us where we can try next. I am also hoping for a massive long shot that one of them members on this website, worked for or knows someone who worked for British Celanese Spondon Derby and could tell us of any pension company. Thanks for any help.

    • 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.

what i meant is re one defence point not prejudicing another. depends on the circs.

one eg cld be for eg where someone is saying no debt, but is also saying in any event/notwithstanding that it wld be statute barred. the barred submission (which means there is a debt) not prejudicing the no debt submission, in case it wldnt be barred. if that makes sense :) but, a bit of a 'dilution' as andy points.

no worries though, was just thinking aloud.

 

for another opinion, have you double checked with the likes of the national debtline for eg for their view on whether is barred?

 

I haven't done, but I did hassle Lloyds some more and they stated that they still can't see any transactions as they don't have the details...all they can see was the default date which was when they stopped charging interest, they went away to ask a manager what else could be done... they then put me through to another dept whom would supposedly provide me with free copies of statements, this turned out to be standard customer services who could only see the old online saver!!!

I called them, they advised me that current accounts are different to credit cards re statute bar, rather than it being the date of the last transaction they believe it to be the date they issued the default notice, so even though my last transcation may have been Jan2009 it doesn't matter as they didn't issue a deafult until 2011 (according to my Noodle credit report)

 

With that in mind I have submitted the standard defence....

 

What happens now? sit back and wait for a response from the Court?

ok, yes bar is different depend re what type of a/c and the circs.

imo, re an o/d, generally wld be from expiry of the notice when they first demanded the whole lot in (any payments thereafter resetting). as i mentioned before.

yes, see what happens. court will send yr defence to the claimant. for the claimant then to decide what they want to do.

I have received a letter from the Court dated 14th April stating they acknowledge receipt of my defence and that the claimant may contact me directly to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally the claimant will inform the court that he wishes to proceed.

 

Then goes on to state that the claimant must contact the court within 28 days of receiving a copy of my defence, after the period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed.

 

I have heard nothing from MKDP LLP nor had a response to my earlier request to them, if they write do I negotiate or hold my nerve?

 

Many thanks,

 

Terry

Standard response once a defence is submitted Terry......I very much doubt they will contact.....let the claim proceed to stayed or allocation.

Hi Andy,

 

The 28 days has gone and I haven't heard a thing, logged on to MCOL and nothing has changed.

Do I need to do anything now such as ask for it to be stayed/dismissed as they haven't responded in time?

 

Many thanks,

 

Terry

There is nothing to dismiss.....a stayed claim is merely a speculative claim.......only when its allocated does it become a claim.

I keep logging on to MCOL to see if it has gone to stayed but it is still at latest document received defence.. is it just a case of waiting?

 

Also going to move house at the end of the month so I guess it's in my interests to update my address with the court as the one thing I don't want is judgement in my absence

Pretty sure MCOL does not show a status of stayed...simply defence submitted....you can always give Northampton a ring and enquire.

I have have just spoken to the Court, they were very helpful.

 

The claim is stayed and the DCA will have to pay a fee and provide a good reason as to why they failed to respond to the court's requests to re-ignite this.

 

Thank you all for your help on this one so far :-D

Not heard a peep since my last post which is good... but the default is 03/2011 meaning it won't drop off until 03/2017

 

Was hoping to get a mortgage next June,

lets say I bit the bullet and paid would that then show as settled but for another 6 years from that date?

If so then guess I might as well wait it out until 03/17?

 

Another question!

 

I thought I was nearly home free and clean but another has crawled out of the woodwork from Lowell's

and it will be six years old in May according to the credit report,

 

 

they are currently at the stage of if I do not respond they will do a credit search

to see if I have any assets such as property and evaluate my financial circumstances!

 

 

I'm guessing that they are allowed to do this as they have bought the original agreement that says the company can credit check me?

 

Do I just keep my head down and see what they do next or maybe try diversion tactics such as not known at this address?

 

As ever all advice appreciated

paying will not remove a default nor improve you file.

 

 

as for the new threat

start a new thread

in the named forum for the original creditor.

Logged on to MCOL for the first time in ages to check they haven't appealed or anything and the status has changed to

 

Notification that the claim against you was discontinued was received on 09/12/2015

 

:-D

 

Equifax have removed it, but it's still on callcredit/noddle until March 17 by the looks of it.

 

I have raised a dispute as they can't prove I owe them a bean, they didn't respond to the CCA request so surely it should be removed?

 

Or am I risking them coming back after me by making a fuss?

not being able to provide enforceable paperwork is no reason to remove a default.

don't forget also it would have been the OC that placed the default upon sale not the DCA.

I noticed this had crept back in to closed accounts on my Clearscore report but under the name Hoist, are they the same company? I raised a dispute with Equifax, they replied stating it was for a credit agreement with Lloyds and although it has been discontinued the default will remain. I responded asking them to provide more details as to what the alleged agreement was for and to please remove this as Lloyds themselves can find no records of it.

 

Hoist have failed to respond so Equifax have removed this one :-)
