    • Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.     
    • urm.. i seem to recall another assault case whereby the approved bailiff company claimed the body camera was nor theirs but a pers one of the bailiff, i think they got in serious trouble for it. i believe that breaks certain gov't approval for a bailiff company/firm regulations/laws  if memory serves me right?

    • 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.

I recently sent CCA requests to Barclaycard for the two cards i have with them and have received replies to both requests. I not sure however how to interpret them and how to proceed.

 

A little background might help to explain the situation. The two accounts are positively ancient. I'm not sure when i got the Mastercard account, i think it was a few years after the Visa account, but when exactly i don't know. I know when i opened the Visa though. It was opened when i went to university, in 1984.

:jaw:

 

I've been making reduced payments to Barclaycard for about 4 1/2 years under what i assume is an arrangement to pay. But i don't know as Barclaycard have not been reporting the accounts to any of the CRAs. Its odd, but i've checked all 3 and they're not on any report.

 

So i'm unsure what to do. Do i leave things alone knowing that its not going to effect my credit rating or do i make a claim of unenforceable debts?

 

Any insight or advice would be most welcome.

Are there any dates on the T&C's they have sent you?

 

Have a closer look at the edges at the bottom and there should be what looks like a reference number.

 

If these accounts are as old as you say, then sharklaycard are going to need the original copy of the agreement to enforce this in court, NOT a recon that they have sent you.

 

I'm thinking they're using you as their cash cow.

 

If you have been making reduced payments, then they must have sent you a default notice (DN) which tells you that you

have until dd/mm/yyyy to make payment to cover the outstanding debt (NOT the balance) before they will terminate the agreement.

 

Then they send you the termination notice, and then all interest charges are stopped.

 

IMO, I'd drop them down to £1 a month, whilst you demand a SAR (£10 fee) and get the entire history of this account so you can

see exactly how much you have been paying, and how much charges/fees and interest they have been adding so you can then reclaim them all.

 

How much have you been paying them each month for the last 4.1/2 years?

No dates to the T&C's, although they mention Barclaycard cheques, which aren't in the current T&C's

I've only got one recon, for the Mastercard card. They've only acknowledged the CCA for the Visa card, and interestingly, they say the next monthly payment should be £0.00

 

I don't recall a default notice, but i did set up the DMP through a fee paying company (i've since been self managing the debts).

I have been seriously considering a SAR to see how much i might be able to reclaim.

 

I've been paying reduced payments since Oct 2010, a total of £170.30 with an APR of 3%.

 

 

One thing else - when i received the recon CCA for the mastercard, i also received two covering letters for other people. This is obviously a breech of data protection, so should i report it to someone like the ICO? I'll also need to return these letter to Barclaycard, can anyone suggest an address?

yes sar.

 

 

BC might have made the requirements of a sec 77/78

but that's nowhere near compliant to goto court

 

 

much the same as most CCA request returns sadly.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi Spud and welcome to CAG

 

Do you know when you first defaulted on these a/c's - ie you failed to maintain the required monthly payments.

 

Is either a/c showing up on CRA records.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

I failed to make the required monthly payments from about May 2010, I don't have all statements, so it might have been a month or two earlier. I've checked experian, equifax and callcredit, neither account shows on any report.

Hi Spud,

 

Do you know when or if Default Notices were issued by BC.

 

We've seen cases where they have been very slow, or even failed, to issue DN's when the a/c became delinquent.

 

This can impact your CRA records badly if, for instance, they place adverse marks NOW which would stay visible for the next 6 years, ie until 2021 .........

 

.......... as opposed to the DN being listed at the right time (in your case around 3 months after you defaulted) around Jan 2011. In this case, the DN would show on the CRA files until Jan 2017.

 

:-)

I don't recall receiving default notices, which doesn't mean that they weren't issued. I've done my SAR, I just need to get to the PO.

 

If Barclaycard did place defaults on my CRA records now it would have a big impact. I would have a strong argument for the default to be moved back to roughly 6 months after i failed to make the required payments, but when do Barclaycard listen to reason.

Re the SAR, don't use RM Signed For delivery if you're sending to a PO Box address.

 

Also, a cheaper option is to get a free Certificate of Posting at the PO.

 

A late-placed DN should always be challenged.

I'm at a loss as to why or even how, they are still adding interest to an account that has technically defaulted, and should by now, have been terminated?

 

If this was terminated in say 2010, then that will be 5 years worth of interest to claw back, that is of course IF they have gone through the correct process of account management, sounds incredibly shady to me, that or I'm missing the obvious?

Well I've had a quick scan through it all and the first thing that leaps out was tucked right at the back. Both CCAs. With my signature, the right address, the whole kit and caboodle. They can't find them when i ask for them, but they've got them.

 

One of them is 31 years old!

Go figure.
