    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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.

Edit: just seen in the claim info link on here that a CCA request is not needed for an overdraft.

Ill ask an admin to move this thread to the correct forum.

 

Ignore the CCA as i didnt read the overdraft part.

 

Also, youv ebeen paying random DCA's for the debt, which means it is a lemon debt otherwise they would have taken you to court.

 

As i said, cabot have complete disregard for rule and regulation and issue claims like confetti.

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..

As i said, cabot have complete disregard for rule and regulation and issue claims like confetti.

 

Thats correct, My overdraft account has been with a few different DCA's and ended up with Cabot.

Unfortunately for me they have also acquired three other accounts in my name so im expecting to have to go through this process a number of times yet.

 

Moved to Financial So you have been making token payments on the account? .

 

Yes i have since 2008 up until March 2015 i paid £1 per month to all my creditors.

This was the advice i received from consumer credit counselling service back when i originally defaulted back in 2008.

None of my creditors complained and i was worried about any consequences so i just let the payments run right up till last year

 

As for my home, i can confirm i do not own it

 

did you send that sar off? to hbos

 

dx

 

Regretfully i did not. Part denial part health issues over recent months contributed in me putting it off which was obviously the wrong decision.

 

When i posted a few weeks ago i honestly thought that letter i uploaded would be as far as this would go.

 

To do List:

 

1: Sort CPR31.14 letter

2: S.A.R both Halifax and cabot?

3: Respond to claim with my intention to defend

4: ?

5: ?

6: ?

You said you have several debts. An SAR can cover all your dealings with a company so if any are with other parts of Lloyds Banking group ask for all . Save yourself less future bother and give them more.

That is good news as i have three accounts with Halifax which were defaulted on. Thanks for the heads up

 

Andover is correct

 

Thanks but im more confused now as when checking the HBOS sticky as per DX100's advice that thread is advising using this Leeds address below.

 

Is there a definitive answer to this question or do they have a number of facilities processing these requests?

 

I could send one off to each address but i dont want to waste £10 if possible

Hi Guys

 

Just had a letter today from Halifax which i have attached regarding my DSAR request.

 

Im annoyed as they say i sent in a photocopy of a LOA but i did not. This is obviously going to delay this request and im already cutting it fine.

 

Regarding the LOA/SAR, im not sure what to do. The letter i sent was copy/pasted from this site and signed by myself in black ink. what more can i do?

Well, having read a fair amount of threads on this matter and this Restons company, i've not come across this response yet which i received today regarding my CPR31 request.

 

Apparently i need to provide a signature to 'prove' who i am.

how do i proceed?

No you dont respond...just state in your defence that the claimant has frustrated all attempts to clarify the basis of this claim by way of a CPR 31.14 request and has declined to respond.You trust the court will take this into consideration when the question of costs are determined

I see,

In the eyes of litigation does this letter not put the ball back in my court?

 

As much as i know they are playing games, technically the wording on their response is requesting more information from myself. If i don't respond will this fact not give them an argument against my defence if it eventually goes before a judge?

They are not asking for further information from yourself...they want a signature...which is just an excuse to avoid their responsibilities to comply to your civil request.

If you fell better about it sign it .....uniquely..different to your normal signature...but you still wont get a response...signature or not.
