    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.    
    • That's fine - I'm quite happy to attend court if necessary. The question was phrased in such a way that had I declined the 'consideration on the papers' option, I would have had to explain why I didn't think such consideration was appropriate, and since P2G appear to be relying on a single (arguably flawed) issue, I thought it might result in a speedier determination.
    • it was ordered in the retailers store  but your theory isnt relevant anyway, even if it fitted the case... the furniture is unfit for purpose within 30 days so consumer rights act overwrites any need to use 14 days contract law you refer too. dx

    • Frankly I think you should go to a hearing unless you feel especially nervous . If you have any worries then you should follow our link to find out about a county court familiarisation visit     You shouldn't forget that county Court judgements are very helpful but they are not binding. They are only persuasive.  It is difficult to see you losing but it might be better to be there in order to counter any arguments from the other side

    • 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,

 

I don't want to be a pain,

 

 

but I am going to reply to all the Champion Soccer threads on here, trying to find a solution!

 

 

I have the said letter, and have spent the past 2 hours trying to find a solution to any of the threads,

 

 

unfortunately, they all seem to stop dead, which doesn't really help me.

 

 

Hopefully one thread will come up with an answer to how any other letter from the other posters were resolved?

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

I have replied to the existing threads on the forum, which have so far, put my mind 50% at ease.

 

I have received the threat of Count Court Judgement letter, as all the recent posts also received, and I am convinced it is just a ploy.

 

I am willing to gather the old team together and pay the debt, if it wasn't just an idle threat, which I see as more of abuse of the system and morally and ethically horrendous.

 

If they do hold legal standing over me, then I will take everything in my power to ensure my credit rating does not get affected.

 

 

However, I feel they having my pants down effectively.

 

 

I really could do with one of the previous threads begging resolved and a member or a one time poster

just stating whether this matter actually went to court for them or not.

Its a tricky situation to be in.

 

 

They say they are sending off the application on the 28th of April if do not pay or agree a payment plan.

 

Would be amazing to find out if anybody did actually get taken to court over this.

 

 

There is one response in another thread, that absolutely stinks of Champion Soccer posting to make out it is a real poster on the forum,

they call them selves Footcrazy7 and said something like

"We wish we just paid it like were supposed too and are now repaying it off weekly".

 

 

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me....

 

Please, please someone let me know how this was resolved, its stressing me right out!

 

Thank you very much

Who is the DCA involved that's making the threats.

 

Did you sign an agreement yourself, or with other team players.

Just to point out that when there are numerous threads about a particular company – all on the same issue – and then they all suddenly go cold, it is a sure sign that no court actions been taken.

 

What is far more likely is that the company involved has entered into some kind of settlement agreement with their customer and it has been on the basis of confidentiality.

 

What we really need are people to refuse confidentiality and to stay on the forum and tell us exactly what has happened. This would help everybody.

 

Most of the time, companies who insist on confidentiality have no legal basis for defending a complaint and they are basically trying it on.

 

There are very few cases when people should agree to confidentiality in a settlement.

Hi Lobbo,

 

More info please :-

 

1. What did you sign up for in terms of the number of matches or length of time.

 

2. How much roughly has been paid so far and how much more is potentially payable.

 

3. How many players is this split between.

 

4. Would they all pay their fair share of any settlement.

 

5. For what reasons did you all stop playing as initially agreed - eg illness, injury, relocation of home or work, redundancy, difficult to keep to the schedule, some of you lost interest.

 

:-)
