    • okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?
    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance

    • 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 haven't heard from MMF in years.

To be fair I have moved house and changed my phone number so that's probably why I haven't heard from them recently

but even before I moved it was a long time since I heard from them.

 

 

If I remember correctly MMF were one of three companies chasing me for an old quick quid loan,

if that's the case its likely that its just approaching the six year mark

and they think I am too stupid to notice that its stat barred after five in Scotland.

Although it doesn't appear anywhere on my credit file but I cant remember if it ever did appear or not.

 

I don't want to contact them and rock the boat but if the messages keep coming I will write to MMF

and tell them to stop harassing me and that I don't owe them anything.

 

 

I am also going to contact Scott and Co and tell them that they do not have permission to share my details,

it might not help but its worth a try.

 

 

As long as I don't start getting lots of calls/texts I will leave it at that but if it gets worse

then I will need to do something because I cant go back to the stress caused by constant calls and texts like last time.

I don't have my mobile number linked to any social network,

I'm only on facebook and my profile is completely private.

 

 

The timing is a bit convenient though,

if they were going to find me through my credit file surely they would have done it by now?

 

 

There are no suspicious searches on my file either and that wouldn't give them my mobile number, would it?

Like I say I wont worry too much about it if it doesn't keep up.

 

 

At the moment I suspect that they have gotten my number from scott and co,

but aren't sure if its me because it could just be someone with the same name

as there is nothing to link me to my old address unless they have searched my file

which it doesn't look like they have as yet,

so I think they are just fishing at the moment.

 

 

if it keeps up I will write to them telling them to stop harassing me.

  • 3 weeks later...

And now the constant calls have started!

 

 

I just refused to go through data protection with them

and she said she would send a letter so I said 'go ahead' and hung up.

 

 

At least if they send a letter I will get a clue as to what this is about I guess.

Off to type up a letter to Scott and Co telling them that they have no permission to share my details.

 

 

I will wait for MMF's letter to arrive before I deal with them

I think that way I know what its about before I go steaming in with letters.

 

 

If I find out for sure that its been scott and co that gave them my number

I am going to be so angry its unreal!

It stopped for maybe a week or so but started again in the last few days.

 

 

I confronted Scott and Co who said they never pass out details

but I don't see how else they could have got my number.

 

 

No letter ever arrived from mmf so either they never sent one

or they don't have an up to date address which would kinda let Scott and Co off the hook I guess.

 

 

I'm off tomorrow so want to get a letter off to mmf

but on the other hand I dont really want them having my up to date address

because I cant be bothered playing letter tennis with them

I suspect they were one of three companies chasing an old quick quid loan that had been sold on to umpteen companies at the same time and was ultimately written off because of it. It was so long ago I'm not 100% sure though
