    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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'm so cross, spent all week in tears. I can't beleive they can rob us of our money like this.

August we go overdrawn a little bit, had no idea at the time as card (although we don't use it much) worked and bills paid.

Sat here now £400 over the overdraft, having spent not one penny of my husbands wages this month. They took everything and now all they are interested in is us paying it all back, abusing credit apparently. Which we haven't, they abused us. We are only in trouble because of all the fines which they imposed on us, they are treating me like I deliberatley spent money I didn't owe. I had no idea the card carries on working when you have nothing. By the time letters came to tell us it was too late. They'd fined us too much to escape.

I'm so cross, it wasn't like we'd gone out and bought a tv or a holiday. We'd just bought a couple quid too much petrol.

So i'm writing my letter now. Just so angry I don't know what to do with myself.

If you have a receipt for sending the letter, you need to write to Halifax (use address on site, not branch) and advise them that the 40day deadline started on the receipt date that you have, let them know how many days they have left to comply, and advise them that if they fail to comply, you will contact the Information Commisioner and make a formal complaint (Template Letter) and also advise that you will consider Court Action if they fail to comply.

You need to make them aware that they are working to YOUR timescales and not their own.

Halifax are not the worst when it comes to compliance, and I`m sure that if you take the action I reccommend, your statements etc will arrive on time.

Best of Luck, if you need any further advise, please let me know.

Thanks! Had a confirmation that we will get the information by the 22nd of december.

On top of all of this we find out my husbands wages have been lost..his employer bacs them to my account Friday and they never arrived. Also one reason for all the fines was in october my husband was only paid half of what he should've been. Weird thing is on pay day when we checked the account the full amount was there, on our bank statement since the amount has changed. Really odd.

Is the 22nd December within the 40 day limit?

I don`t quite understand how your husbands bacs payment can be `lost` - if his employers have record of it being sent, and can provide the receiving account details, you should be able to take this into the bank for them to put an instant trace on it, but given the issue with your husbands October pay, are you sure his employers made the bacs payment??

Yep, the 23rd would be the 40th day.

My husband isn't the only one with missing pay, the company has lost about £60k in wages! Left their bank (lloyds) but never reached the employees. Apparently there's no pattern to who it has happened to, all different banks on the receiving end involved.

I think they should just pay out again and then sort out the problem of missing money with the bank, not leave staff hanging on without money.

Under Employment law within the UK your husband has a right to be paid On Time, it forms part of the contract between your husband and his employer.

Even if the Bacs issue was geniune, it would only take your husbands employers a matter of minutes to reverse the payments out, and retrieve the wages, they would then be able to manually intervene (somthing that the banks like to do quite a lot!) to ensure that your husband was paid his wages.

If they have allowed you to go without money for nearly a week now? they have failed in their "Duty of Care" to their employees.

Your husband needs to get tough with them, as they are quite obviously not doing enough to resolve the situation.

A visit to the Citizens Advise may be of help to you as they should be able to assist in helping to resolve the issue.

Good Luck

Got all our statements (rather amusingly in separate envelopes..is this where the tenner goes?) today. I've totalled up £3712 over 4 years in charges.

Letter and schedule in the post tomorrow. Still working on the wages!

 

Just a couple of questions.. who do I address it too. I have had a good search of the forums and can't find a specific reference to the best address for the prelim request. I was thinking the HBOS trinity road HX1 2RG but is there a person/department best to address it too?

 

Also when you win, where does the money go? Do they send a cheque or credit the account?

Well got some money to file the claim online as that seemed the easiest way! I'll apply for a refund (mind you by looks of it my husband will have a new job by next week)!

 

So is there a letter you should enclose when sending the schedule of charges plus the 8% interest that I need to send to halifax now (as the particulars of claim say I will send another copy)?

I cannot post on the success board so will have to stick this here!

Halifax paid up £3,740 last week. It was the original amount we asked for before starting the claim with MCOL.

We lost the interest and charges due to our mistake on the MCOL site (I use firefox, and an important box to do with inputting the interest didn't pop up apparently)...we just didn't have the time to start again so accepted Halifax when they made the offer.

oh great! Got a letter today offering me the full amount plus court fees.

 

Dated the 6th of february!! So they sent the offer of full amount minus court fees after this letter which we accepted. Blimming royal mail!

 

Sign the acceptance and send it back to them, advise them in a letter that your gratefull for them sending you the improved offer which you accept in preference to their previous offer. Tell them that on receipt of the funds from this new offer you will contact the court and advise that the case has been settled (after cheque has cleared).
