    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Howdy all!

 

Long and short of it is, for years I had an account with Abbey National, then changed to Abbey obviously.

 

 

I went to Uni and had an overdraft with them of about £1500.

 

 

When I left uni I didn't have the money to pay off the overdraft,

but stupidly had my pay put into another basic savings account

which eventually Abbey decided to swipe £700 pounds out of to service

the other debt which by now had defaulted (I believe).

After that I didn't go near Abbey accounts again and set up one elsewhere.

 

The question I have is,

the debt hasn't been transferred to a DCA but I get yearly statements from Santander

saying that the balance is "X" and the letter says they have to send me this yearly to keep me up to date.

 

 

I'm certain there are charges on this account that I could claim back but not enough to wipe out the debt,

so I'm wondering if the debt is unenforceable despite the fact it's only an overdraft

- does it work the same as a credit agreement? An overdraft is a form of credit, no?

 

Any advice would be great and I'll try and answer any questions as best I can.

 

Thanks :)

Hi ps

 

When did you make the last payment? Have you ever received a CCJ against that debt?

 

Since the Supreme Court Ruling, it has become difficult to claim back charges unless it's a 'Hardship' Claim, but this could change as the Court considered a 'narrow point of law.'

....and that's it. So I'm confused as to what this "agreement" I have with them is considering I havent used the account for nearly 6 years?! I get these once a year I think?

Hi

 

Looks like this is just a standard letter that they send out under their requirement to do so once a year. I wouldn't put any importance on the word "agreement" myself.

 

Makes me wonder why, if they know where you are and that there is an alledged debt, thay haven't come after you for it. You say that you haven't used the account for nearly six years. Can you tell us when the last payment into the account was or when you last ackowledged the debt in writing?

I'm surprised as well to be honest, I've had other DCA's come after me for less but they haven't chased it up. I haven't ever acknowledged the debt in writing and the last payment they will have had on the debt would have been 4-5 years ago when they took all the money out the other account!

 

I thought they were trying to make me take an interest in the account as there aren't any minuses before the balance, so strangely to the naked eye it would look like a positive balance. Only problem is I can't really ask them what the correct balance is/when the last payment was etc without acknowledging the debt can I? :S

Hello again all,

 

I am writing for what will hopefully, by the end of this, be the last time on this forum.

 

CAG have helped me banish three debts from DCA's previously,

and both DX and Brigadier were of great help.

 

I have one final ghost of my overly frugal past to banish.

 

I had a debt with a bank many years ago.

 

They took money from my savings to pay off an overdraft filled with charges many years ago.

 

At the time I had a six month old daughter and they forced myself and my then partner into serious financial hardship and did not care.

 

Out of principle I did not pay the debt (approx £1000) and it had waited dormant until now.

 

The debt defaulted in May 2008 and was not paid towards as of March 2008 so it is not far from being statute barred.

 

I heard NOTHING about this debt for many years.

 

My friend who worked at the bank said it had been given up on long ago.

 

This is the only default left on my record.

 

I stupidly, STUPIDLY signed up to the electoral roll last week

and almost instantly received the following letter at the door within 5 days:

 

----------

 

Dear MR PSYDUCK

Now I know the answer will be "ignore" but how likely will it be that they know this is me?

Can I throw them off the scent?

Why has it taken this long for them to contact me??

Ideas?

 

One more to go and I am free.

 

...I am applying for a mortgage next year so it is important we see this out past the SB date and it is removed from my record!

Hi Psyduck.

 

If it's any help, I had these numpties chase me some 4 years ago regarding an old credit card, the letter quoted an address I'd not lived at for well over 13 years. I received the same letter, ignored it (credit file was clear) and haven't heard a peep from them since. Ignore for now, wait to see if they come back with anything else.

 

Good luck

Hi Stigman

 

No it doesn't, it still shows as Santander.

 

My report also doesn't show I am on the electoral roll as of yet so I suspect Brig is right.

 

They are very much peeing in the wind at the moment so let's see where it goes. Will keep you updated.

I do not think anyone can condone debt avoidance I.e the deliberate fraudulant taking of money with no intention of ever paying it back. E.g old Basil Rankine who is or was at HMP.

However if the banks and institutions do not comply with the law do they deserve to get the money back?

 

Then we have charges which at best are unfair and depending on who you listen to almost or totally impossible to reclaim.

 

Then there is the fobbing off sevice

 

The odds are stacked against mr or mrs average .

 

It is better for 10 criminals to walk free than one innocent person be convicted but in the world of civil debt it seems the courts and system want to reverse the burden of proof and accept any conduct on the part of the industry

It's a difficult one to get right. 80% of this debt is charges that put me into serious financial hardship with a small child and are probably illegal. Of course running from debt just because you don't want to pay it shouldn't be condoned but in all honesty they know full well the charges are outrageous on the account.

I am against people avoiding debts but I dislike the debt collection industry and their corruption of the legislation they are supposed to work under. Without these companies people's debts would often be manageable but the lack of help can push people into desperate measures to release themselves from the snare of these companies.

The Brig has given short shrift to people who come here looking to just avoid their responsibilities but is a fountain of knowledge to those who dont know where they really stand.

Me? I am fortunate to have no debts but wish I was wiser about money when I was younger as I might actually have some now as well.

It is such a difficult subject but should it be?

On th motoring forums people are encouraged to look for loopholes to avoid parking or traffic contravention penalties. Equally with RLP. As soon as its a financial thing some people do not expect the multi millionpound institutions to adhere to the law but for us ordinary people to just pay up no questions asked.

I can't say that I have seen many council charges disputed but with the private parking companies, their MO is to get as much as they can with nothing to back it up with. Similarly, RLP try it on. These types of businesses prey on ignorance and the majority pay up with no questions asked which is why CAG is here.

 

As for debts, where a debt is lawfully owed, it is better to negotiate rather than ignore. When these debts are full of (if not the total of) charges then fight all they way.
