    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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 there I currently have an outstanding debt of £1889 on a vanquis credit card

 

I thought there was a default registered to this card but my credit file shows not

 

I have an arrangement to pay in place since July 2013 and have paid £40 on Time each month

 

I have recently requested a F&F SETTLEMENT and they will accept £1000 but only on a partial basis which is no good to man nor beast as the debt will then be re sold

 

They say it isn't possible but I have explained that if they write of the difference the account can be fully settled at £1000

 

I have had the card since 2005/6 and can't remember the last time I used it- the credit limit is 3k and ive no doubt the balance is made up of interest and charges

 

Can someone give me any tips on leverage. I have other debts which I need to settle this year as I need to re mortgage

 

Thanks in anticipation

just to be clear

settling debts will not improve you credit score

if a debt is defaulted

that's there for 6yrs paid or not.

 

now on to vanquish.

 

they are probably wanting to settle as you've guessed right

the debt is largely PENALTY FEES [£12} a pop

and p'haps their version of PPI [ROP}

they've taken every month

 

it would not harm you to CCA request them

and send as sar to them to get all the statements

that will put you in a far stronger position [esp if no CCA]

to drive a low bargain and get the account removed to or atleast any negative stuff on it.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

if theres no enforceable agreement that will make your position much stronger

 

 

as would the debt being inflated with penalty charges & PPI [rop]

If you request the CCA and SAR from Vanquis and there is something wrong with the debt be prepared for it to be sold on to a DCA. Make sure you claim all the fees that have been added then maybe you will have a better chance with a F&F. If you do go for a F&F make sure you have it in writing that the remaining debt will NOT be sold on, keep this letter very safe as you may need it some time in the future...

What do you make of this? Received today.......

 

Thank you for your recent offer to part-settle the above account; I can confirm that we can accept the original amount of £1,000.00 as a partial settlement. Please be aware that if you accept this offer then the remaining balance will be written off and we will not sell this debt on or try to collect this debt at a later date.

 

Should this amount be payable, we request that this amount be paid within the next 14 days. Failure to do so will mean the offer will then expire and a higher amount will be required to part settle the account.

 

Please be advised that any part settlements will be reported to the credit referencing agencies as ‘partial settlement’, but the balance will be written off and the account closed. This can not be changed to a full settlement at a later date. If you have any further questions regarding this please contact us on 0330 099 3000 to speak to an advisor.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Harriet

You want the full removal of the credit file entry otherwise it isn't worth paying.

 

What they've said is they'll accept payment, they'll close and wipe the account but they will still screw your credit history up for 6 years

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..

Have they been sending you an annual statement of account?

 

Does this show on your credit file at all?

 

How long have you been paying this for?

 

Reclaim ALL of their fees/charges and interest, after you've sent them the CCA request with the £1 fee, if/when they fail to supply, stop payments.

Thats great....thanks for the advice

 

Regarding the CCA and SAR one says to add signature and one isnt necessary

 

If i send both requests at the same time isnt that giving the company the opportunity to copy my signature onto a potentially non exsistant CCA?

 

Is it acceptable to just print my name in pen?

NO, ALWAYS sign your name on the SAR ONLY!!

On the CCA, there is NO requirement to sign it, on that one print your name.

 

Send them in separate envelopes, as the SAR will need to go to the data controller.

Have had responses now for both CCA and SAR

 

They are `apparantly` not required to provide a copy of the signed executed agreement-this is only necessary should THEY undertake legal proceedings and not at any time prior to.

 

They have therefore provided a blank reconstituted agreement which proves NOWT and a copy of standard terms and conditions

 

Balance outstanding £1699.96

 

which is also the amount currently payable by me at any time on demand according to them

 

approx £200 overlimit and late payment charges dating back to 2009..................

 

Need help from here with charges and interest etc and where to go next

 

no default but arrangement to pay showing on credit file

hey are `apparantly` not required to provide a copy of the signed executed agreement-this is only necessary should THEY undertake legal proceedings and not at any time prior to.

 

They must supply the CCA agreement or a compliant reconsituted one upon request. Failure to supply it in 12+2 working days means that the alleged debt is unenforceable and you dont have to make any further payments. They can and will mark your credit file though, but they cant perform any collection action.

I think they have provided a `reconstituted agreement` which is totally devoid of any information pertaining to me other that my name and address

 

and sar was breakdown not full response which is fine as long as its accurate!!

 

without statements is impossible to say

 

it includes copy of notation,key to abbreviations and list of transactions and charges

 

memos at back too re phone calls

 

Hi guys......

 

Have received reconstituted `blank` agreement in response to CCA req.....they only have to provide signed copy if they commence legal action?

 

Have collated charges based on SRA req using PPI spreadsheet-thanks DX

 

£264 in ol and lp charges.......£94.11 in interest covering 2010-2013 charges and int stopped after that with AP in place

 

£358.11 in total- need template letter for charge refund if someone can kindly put me in the right direction.......struggling to find template letters.

 

Waiting for SAR for Halifax,B card and LLoyds now to do the same

 

Thanks in advance

SAR can't just be a breakdown, it MUST contain FULL facts, letters, agreements, in fact everything they hold on you regarding this account MUST be sent in response to a SAR.

 

Have they had the full 40 calender days in which to supply ALL of this info?

 

If so, then you 'could' send them a letter demanding whether this is ALL of the information they have regarding the SAR, if not, you give them a further 7 days in which to comply with your legal request, or you will file a complaint with the ICO to investigate.
