    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    • 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 have received a letter from MMF in connection with the Pay Day loan lender Swift Sterling.

 

I have received letters in the past from MMF but I put them in the bin and buried my head in the sand. (Not the best option I know)

 

I have looked on my credit file to find it is no longer there, I'm assuming they haven't done a credit search before giving me the pay day loan or the debt has dropped off?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Yes CCA Request all the way.

 

The partnership between Swift Sterling and MMF has been going on for a while.

 

Just an FYI, in the last year, MMF have got much better at dealing with customers. So you should have a better time than I did :)

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

I took out the loan on 3rd May 2011 as shown on my bank statement.

 

When I took out the loan with Swift Sterling, I was in a similar situation with Welcome Finance, when I received a claim pack from Northampton wanting to take me to court, so I checked my credit file and the debt for Welcome Finance wasn't on my file, so I filled in the N244 form sent along with my credit file stating the debt was Statue Barred and to be set aside and I received a letter a week later from whoever was acting on their behalf to say that they were no longer pursuing with the case and the it was quashed.

 

So I'm in two mind whether or not to reply to the letter or wait until they try and take me to court for this?

 

Thanks for your kind advice so far

 

Mark

I gathered it wasn't statue barred however surely as a responsible lender they should of done a credit check before issuing the loan to me and the default being recorded on my credit file?

 

The initial loan was for £200.00 and the balance has risen to £318.96.

Surely as "responsible" lender they should of carried out a credit search and when I defaulted should be recorded on my credit file?

Pers I'd ignore mmf

Simply fleecers

 

They rarely do court and certainly not for £200!

 

Plenty here to read about then

There is always all manner of insurances like PPI etc and penalty charges like letter fees

All can be reclaimed

Hi Dx

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Welcome Finance has been dealt with as they were trying to chase debt that was statue barred, resulting in the debt being set asside.

 

Well I shall ignore MMF then :)

 

Basically what I can't get my head around is that surely Swift Sterling should of done a credit check on me before issuing the loan to me, being a "Responsible" lender to ascertain the risk? If I've defaulted on this loan which I have, surely this default would of been recorded on my credit file?

 

I can't seem to see anything under the consumer credit act in regard to credit checks or carrying out checks before the issue of the loan.

 

Hope that makes sense I often go on a tangent :)

Hi Fkofilee

 

Which forum would you like me to stay away from an why?

 

I cam across the other forum first whilst faced with my issue.

 

I tried sending you a PM but the forum wouldn't let me due to not posting 30 posts.

 

Thanks

Mark

Any get out of debt free, bailiff or Freeman sites will give you the wrong information, and you may well end up in more trouble with your creditors, and then blocked from those sites when you try and ask why their info is wrong.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

i was quite lucky to get in contact with one of GOODF's Administrators and asked about the 3 letter process.

What its for etc?

 

Heres the deal... The reason why they do the process is to counteract the debt outstanding.

Where they do the Tacit Agreement, they look to invoice them for each contact etc, its pretty simple but it has no basis in law... Simple as.

 

Do it the the CAG way... the Proper way.

The three letter process is free as the templates are available to download on the their forum.

 

I see some people are having success with the three letter process though.

 

What is the CAG way then?

 

As I've been advised just to nothing and ignore the letters from MMF, surely this can't be the CAG way.

 

I'm not trying to cause trouble, I just want t ascertain the best way forward in order to deal with MMF.

Motormouth is well known on this forum for not following legislation when it comes to debt collecting.

 

I have had motormouth chase me since 2011, not once did i contact them in anyway on an old payday loan. They even had the cheek to record it on my credit file as a student loan. It is now statute barred

 

No matter what you say to motormouth they will ignore you and spam you threatening hang draw and quarter unless you pay up

 

Once a DCA starts playing by the rules, then i will

 

And what they do not tell you on the three letter process on that other forum is that they either then litigate, or sell the account to another DCA.

 

You can never cancel the original debt

I shall not be contacting them either way.

 

However surely the contract sill lies with the creditor and not the DCA though.

 

I'm not scared of them in any way shape or form to be honest. If it's taken them since 2011 to respond they can't be that bothered in collecting the debt.
