    • 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 02/01/2023 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 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, 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.

As said elsewhere, I am endeavoring to help a friend who 'inherited' a lot of debt when her marriage failed.

 

As a matter of course I (she) made CCA requests to all her creditors.

 

One item was a personal loan. This loan was a consolidation of her current account and previous loan, made in 2005. It went into arrears is is being paid off at £10 a month under a self administered Debt Management Plan. The current balance is £13,500ish.

 

Today a reply came from NatWest saying they had 'misfiled' the original agreement. It also said "Our record of setting up the loan has insufficient detail to enable us to recreate the agreement with the required degree of certainty that is required".

(I am struggling to upload an image of this letter - please bear with me)

 

The last default notice for this loan was in April 2008.

 

My original intention was always to get F&F settlements on all her debts. NatWest turned down my initial offer of £2,100 a few months ago so the £10 monthly repayments have continued.

 

Fredricksons have now got there fingers on this and are trying to pile the pressure on - they either don't know or don't care that a DMP is already in place.

 

I want to avoid a new default notice being issued and I want to get into the best position I can to negotiate a (small) F&F settlement.

 

What should I do next?

 

Advice welcome, please.

Personally I would want to verify the amount claimed is correct for any new DCA - including Freds. Since you do not have access to the original agreement you can no longer do this.

 

Send Natwest and Freds a letter saying that you cannot verify that the sums they claim are correct and you are disputing them. Therefore the account is in dispute.

 

Remind them that OFT guidance obliges them to stop all recovery activity while they resolve your dispute.

Presumably, this would also stop a default notice too?

Not sure - I have 2 accounts in dispute with a DCA. They have gone completely quiet but are still reporting on my credit file. I don't know if this is recovery activity or not.

 

I do know that only one default can be issued. The DCA can (and will) put their name against it if they purchase the debt, but the default date and sum should not change.

 

They will carry on marking the monthly update of that account in some way. A DF in a nice red blob in my case...

What the bank is saying is that they can produce a compliant reconstitued agreement.

 

There cannot be another default, one debt one default one default date end of story, a DCA can/must update the entry with their information but CANNOT change the default date.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

The letter clearly states that they have enough data from the setting up of the account to recreate (reconstitute) the agrreement.

My guess is the will do so at some point.

Does that mean they can or cannot reconstitute the agreement?

 

I vote no, it can't currently comply

Looking at their letter, they can do nothing. They may sell it on but it's easily batted away.

 

Should you want to offer a F&F, your have all the cards.

 

Just to give me some further clues on what F&F might be acceptable, does anyone know what sort of 'selling price' a debt like this would have, if they sold it on?

 

I think I should say, "I am beginning to smirk a bit". :-) :-)

I'd just ignore it. Your friends CRA file will be trashed anyway.

 

Continuing to make payments will only prolong the date when the debt also becomes SB.

Rereading that apologies no the CANNOT reconstitute an agreement, but the debt still subsists and they can still report to the CRAs and pursue for payment, I cannot advise debt avoidance, the decision must be yours entirely from here on.

Thanks for that Brig.

 

Debt avoidance was never part of the plan however, a suitably low F&F settlement would save the trouble of chasing unfair charges that were levied on previous debts that were rolled forward into this one.

 

Advice on how best to get a low F&F would be appreciated.

Points of caution on F&F offers.

Work out what you are able to afford to offer.

Start low to give yourself room to negotiate 7.5-10% of OS balance.

If the offer is rejected raise it by no more than 5-7.5 % if this is rejected, request the creditor to state what they want, then negotiate down from there.

Do not attempt to send any money saying this is my F&F if you cash the cheque I will assume you agree, it wont work the will cah the cheque and pursue fot the balance.

You MUST get their unequivical agreement to your offer in writting and they must agree that any remaining balance is not sold at any time to any 3rd party.

An agreement should be reached regarding the CRA entries best get them to remove all adverse data 2nd best to mark the entries settled.

Yes, thanks from me too Brig - excellent.

 

Let Them Knock - I assume you are familiar with the pitfalls of the F&F process? If not, National Debtline have a good article here:

http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=24_full_and_final_settlement_offers

 

Thanks Bandit - I had seen it but is handy to have it attached here. It will be getting some scrutiny soon methinks.
