    • So @theoldrouge where was farage during the D-day honors/remembrance ? He was quick to trash Sunak - but at least sunak showed his face heh?   Sunak perhaps needs to slip some dosh to led by donkeys to fund some banners in Clacton heh? Suggestions: D-day - Sunak maybe ran, but Farage never even showed Farage I'm the only one who can change my mind - dont you plebs think you can Clacton, who wants to spend time in Clacton? 48/52 is unfinished business - ooops eerrrr no it is  ...  err well unless is what I lose by Reject me 1 times shame on you, Reject me 7 times shame on me    
    • Yep let us have a good laugh eh from today’s Telegraph 🤣😂🤣 the rest must try harder    Farage won Friday’s election debate, a poll finds Nigel Farage won Friday night’s seven-way BBC election debate, according to a poll.  A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent. The Green Party’s Carla Denyer was the third most popular with 11 per cent, Stephen Flynn for SNP received 10 per cent and Penny Mordaunt, the leader of the House of Commons, took 7 per cent of the vote. Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth took 5 per cent and 2  per cent respectively. The debate saw Britain’s main seven political parties clash ahead of the general election on July 4.  Mr Farage, who returned to frontline politics for Reform this week and is standing as an MP in Clacton, challenged his political rivals on immigration and net zero policies.
    • Hi CAG Team, I'm seeking your skills and help for a NtK my partner received through the post earlier this week. To give a little backstory, my partner and I, along with our young children (4 and 7), decided to go on a camping holiday about 3 hours away from us. We took a car each because we didn't have enough room in one car. We arrived at the services at very similar times as we followed each other the whole way. So, two cars. My partner has received this NtK, but I haven't. This NtK dropped through the front door on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.  We both parked in the Burger King car park, not in BP; we got out, all went for a toilet break, got some food from the BP garage and returned to our cars to eat.  After eating, we took the kids to the toilet again before leaving to complete our journey. I didn't notice any parking restriction signs and can't get back to the location due to how far away it is. I noticed another person had an issue here and reported it to you, and they managed to get the charge dropped. See below. To me, it looks like they have cameras at the complex's entrance and exit. I'm not sure if they own the land/car park by Burger King, I'm not sure if this is a legal contract or not.  I find that 30 mins limit at a Services that serves hot food to be ridiculous and unfair, especially as we had kids to feed and water.  And the fact that I didn't receive the same NtK despite us driving in and out together is just crazy. This is the location - I also uploaded a map image. Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL ★★★☆☆ · Restaurant 1 Date of the infringement 24th May 2024 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 29th May 2024 3 Date received 5th June 2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] N 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Y - Only entering and exiting the complex/land. 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] N 7 Who is the parking company? MET 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] BP Blue Boys, Tonbridge TN12 7HE For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. POPLA I hope you can help me out with some guidance on how to proceed with this. Let me know if you need anything else. Thank you, Passerby0233 2024-06-08 13_17_52-Burger King - Google Maps — Mozilla Firefox.pdf NtK_29-05-2024.compressed.pdf

Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925. The Claimant has instructed PRA Group (UK) to act on its behalf and the CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £7925 What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021. Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? After Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ?

I have read through a number of similar threads, one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid),  not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it. Also redacted claim form attached: Claim form 23-5-24.pdf

    • 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

When you got into financial difficulties, did you inform Jacamo of the fact. As they are threatening court action you could complain (in writing) that you are feeling threatened and harassed by their letters.

Include with your letter a basic income and expenditure form to show them what you have and make an offer which you can afford. If that is £1, well tough.

 

was the letter from Jacamo or their debt department or another agent?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

then tell them that you can afford (say) £5 a month and that is what you are paying until things improve. They wont take you to court because the most a judge will order you to pay is probably the same or less than your offer.

If they want to use debt collecotrs to harass you then you will find that you have a change of circumstances and the most you can now afford is £1 a month

Most definitely keep everything in writing from now on, and keep a diary of events also.

 

If they ring, laugh and hang up, repeat the process.

 

Their letters are purely psychological rather than actual, once that is realised they cease to have any effect or substance.

If they want to farm it out to a powerless debt collection agency, then more fool them as your payments will drop to the legal minimum of £1 a month for the life of the debt.

 

If what you're paying them now is not affordable, then STOP!

 

ONLY pay what you can realistically and comfortably afford to pay, this is NOT a priority debt, so can only ever attract the minimum token payment of £1 a month if it needs be.

 

Do your own I&E form, and work out what, if any, disposable income you have to pay towards your debts.

Can you list your other debts please and outstanding balance?

 

Has Jacomo added any fees/charges to the account? Are they still adding interest?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

hi thanks for the help yes they are still adding interest, so basically I should just pay £5 a month and the only way they can come after me is if they go too court to go for a ccj

You need to tell them to stop adding interest and charges, otherwise it is completely pointless in even paying them anything more than £1 a month.
