    • Hi Guys, well a year on and my friend has just received this in the post today, obviously a little scared so looking for more of your advice.  Letter from the NCC dated 1-May-2024 is as follows.......   Before deputy district judge Haythorne sitting at the national business centre, 4th floor st Kathrine's house Northampton Upon reading an application from the claimant  it is ordered that  1. The claim be sent to the county court at #### (Friends local Court) Because this order has been made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed.  A party making such an application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within seven days of service of this order.  If the application is one which requires a hearing, and a) the party making the application is the defendant: and b) the defendant is an individual, then upon filing of the application the claim will be transferred to the defendants home court.  In all other cases requiring a hearing the claim will be transferred to the preferred court.    As a result of an order made on the 1 May 2024, this claim has been transferred to the county court at ##### (friends local court) 
    • I am heading over to hers tomorrow so I will find out.  Will there be something written in the agreement or does it depend on the agreement its self ? Just so I know what to look for, so I can provide as much information as possible on here. 
    • The answer to this is going to depend on what the agreement your friend signed says. Or contact the housing provider and ask them.  
    • Thank you all for the responses, to answers a few questions  - she has had the car since Jan 23 on a 5 year term.  - She is unsure what the agreement is called, but at the end she has the option to make a payment to "buy" the car - she recieves benefits for her young children alongside the ssp (normally she would be on NLW for a 16 hr a week job)  - Yes she would like to keep the car  She has not responded to the last email from them asking her to call and it'll be followed up in an email. I told her to hold off until atleast Wednesday so I can read a few posts on here and get some more information.  I will ensure she follows up with a letter, that has not been signed but instead her name written.   Thank you

    • 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.

Update:

Got a letter sent on the 11th August, sent to the fwding address I provided. I was sent a copy today as I am living temporarily with a friend until I can find a new place with my flatmate who is currently in the US.

 

CRS reponse:

Outstanding amount is £207.47

Refer to letter previously, our position remains the same. If I am not willing to to setup payment we have no alternative but to proceed with further action. CRS is going me 7 days. Well thats up.

 

They will continue with their collection procedure if I advice I do not intend to pay. More details on how to pay.

 

What can I expect from their next steps?

I'd ignore CRS for now.

 

Next may be more threats from CRS and then Zinc (an external DCA) followed by MajorLaw (Harlands pet solicitor).

 

Keep us informed.

Thnx for the info Slick, I do have a few questions:

Can the external DCA affect my credit rating?

If not then I will ignore them which I assume I will get contacted by Major Law. If they can I assume there are ways to fight that.

I assume my grounds of ignoring their charges are good. Can they win in court and if so will the charges be greater?

 

Edit: I found other threads with Major Law but with different gym organisations. They make the request of money and the threat of court but never carry through. Looks like I know what I am doing.

Hi Cit,

 

This gym m/ship matter will not affect your CRA files at all unless court action is taken and you fail to pay the amount ordered by the court within 30 days. In that event, the CCJ would remain on your CRA for 6 years.

 

However, the chance of court action is very remote. Harlands do not have good grounds to proceed, especially as you offered to pay the 1 months fee which could reasonably be argued as payable.

 

Reading threads here is the best way to see just how many folk are threatened with court action which never happens.

Hi Cit,

 

Can you confirm over how many days you've had the 19 calls.

 

Did you answer a call from them today and what was said.

Hi Slick, I only ever picked up 1 call from CRS and I told them to not call me as I am communicating only via letter which they agreed to on the phone. They then tried to "confirm details with me on the phone" which I replied to I am getting your letters and your phone calls and you know who I am. I have no need to confirm any details, goodbye" and I then hung up.

 

I also sent them a txt to 07872 049558 on 26 June at 11:26 after they txted me to call them and acknowledging they received my letter in the text. The txt said the following:

 

"I wrote a letter can you reply via the same method of communication so I have documentation."

 

They never sent me a txt from that number again.

 

Received 8 calls, I have been contacted 20 times via phone if you also include txts from atleast 7 different numbers. This is excluding withheld number calls which I do not document as I stopped picking up withheld calls altogether. They withheld numbers never left voice mail. They just hangup automatically, they stopped using this tactic in the last 2 months. I don't have proof it was CRS as it generally was an automated service and I hung up after knowing it was either PPI or CRS if I remember correctly.

 

The calls and txt have been occurring since 23rd April. I have not kept a track of how many letters they have sent me but it is a minimum of 4.

 

Here is a complete log:

 

Phone numbers I have proof of being contact by CRS and can provide screenshots from my phone:

0144 4449165 Office

07875 951649 received txts, EE mobile no.

07872 049558 received txts, 02 mobile no.

07718 775264 received txts, 02 mobile no.

07718 775262 received txts, 02 mobile no.

07717 775257 received txts, Vodafone mobile no.

Update:

More letters, more phone calls all which I am ignoring as of now. I started ignoring them after a letter which say that if I respond with repeating my attention not to pay they will move forward. At that point I decided not to waste my time to responding when their action will be the same.

 

New letter that has been forwarded to me a week later, covers their passing of my "debt" to the Zinc Group. Should I even bother responding to this as their outcome is going to be the same?

 

They finish the letter with a nice "call us" instead of the usual call us now or else.

Hi Cit,

 

Have you given Harlands/CRS your new address yet ? You say their letter was forwarded to you.

 

It's important that they have your current address so you are certain you get each and every communication from them. If they sent a court claim to the old address and you didn't get it, they'd get a Judgement by Default against you.

 

There's no need to respond to the threat of Zinc's involvement - we'll send them scuttling off soon enough.

I think CRS have given up. I haven't received a txt from them since 11th September. No new letters in the 2 weeks. Unless they have passed this to the Zinc Group and they are taking their time to get back to me.

Hi Cit and thanks for the update.

 

It's a bit too early to think they've backed off. They are annoyingly determined, even though they spout rubbish most of the time.

 

Keep us informed.

Any claim in proceedings will include additional costs payable by you. If Judgement is obtained will remain on your credit file for 6 years.

 

Please contact us to come to an arrangement that is affordable / sustainable with your financial circumstances.

Letter to Spratt Endicott :-

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

I refer to your letter of xxdate regarding gym membership.

 

This matter remains in dispute with Harlands, who have no right to involve you. Harlands are already guilty of harassment and have chosen to instruct you to harass me further.

 

Do you not make any checks before writing threatening letters on behalf of a client.

 

If you contact me again, you will be included in my formal complaints to Trading Standards and The CMA. I will also complain to the SRA.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

:-)

Hi Cit,

 

Don't worry at all.

 

The solicitors may reply, or they may not. Either way, they'll return the matter to Harlands who will no doubt start pestering you in due course.

 

Keep us posted.
