    • I agree with lolerz.  They are simply trying to scare you. Anyway, it's your case, you get to decide how to proceed with it.  If you want to drop it, you can drop it when you want.  Their silly deadline of 8 May is neither here nor there. If you did drop the case they would be stuck with their own costs.  Tough.  That's how it works at small claims. However, indirectly there is a point to consider.  We all know how problematic this has been for your mum to handle.  So far it's only cost you £35.  Is she prepared to go to court and argue her case, or would it be better to drop the matter and take the hit on the £35?   
    • interesting that the mobs which attacked the peaceful protestors on the campus sites seem to have been mostly identified as non student and 'counter protestors' although some are being labelled as pro Israel, and I'm sure some are - but many appear to be just right wing hate mongers playing the situation as we far to often see. I have no sympathy with ANY of the protestors who are behaving like Trump insurrectionists whatever they claim their aims to be.   "The pro-Palestinian side, including Jews opposed to Israeli actions in Gaza, say they are being unfairly branded as antisemitic for criticizing Israel's government and expressing support for human rights." - Reuters  
    • running scared and begging you to stop. Of course, they won't admit that.
    • Hey guys,   Have an update with regards this SAR claim.   Mum received this letter dated 24th of April on the 2nd of May....  bit cheeky giving her only a few days to submit to their fear tactics!! Also, nothing has been received with regards to the lost case against parkingeye hmm maybe due to their delays??   Hope all are well!!   Kind regards,   Screenshot_20240502_185546_WhatsApp.pdf
    • Similar to what you've said here, just get drafting up based on what's already been sent. The mentions of the CRA2015 will be key. post your draft up here and we can help tweak.

    • 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 took out a PDL of £300 around Oct 2013 with Vivus.co.uk. After I admitted I was in trouble, they froze the interest and we agreed to £5 monthly payments in Jan 2014.

 

I kept paying until I had a letter from MMF in June/July 2015. It seems Vivus went bust and the debts were sold on. The data MMF have doesnt include my monthly payments so we disagree on how much is owed. They asked me to prove what I said (I can via bank statements) but don't see why I should have to pay a £10 SAR fee to get them and pass them on. I initially sent them a CCA request and heard nothing back.

 

Last month they contacted me but I refused to provide them with my new address (wise?) and I 'failed' their security checks (I can't remember the address Vivus had for me) so they refused to discuss the account. I have since cancelled the monthly payments since vivus was/is bust.

 

I am thinking of sending them another CCA since I did not retain any proof of the one I did 8 months ago. We agreed I would CCA on the phone, but I have since heard that they say anything on the phone.

 

The outstanding debt is £100 (my version) or £180 (their version). There is nothing on my noddle credit history regarding this debt, indeed it has never appeared on there. I am intending to apply for a mortgage in 6 months time - should I simply pay it or offer a F&F? Should I provide the bank statements that prove I made the payments to vivus that they do not have on file?

No dont send another CCA, if they didnt respond to the first one then they are in default of a legal request and you can use this as part of any defence, shiuld they issue a claimform.

 

In addition, check clearscore to make sure theres nothing there either. Not all creditors report to all cra agencies so worth checking.

 

If theres nothing there, ignore them until they put a claimform in, if they put one in!

moved you to the MMF forum.

 

 

you can safely ignore MMF

they have no teeth whatsoever

since they got carpeted by the FCA

shame you let them fleece you for this long.

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

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Re: CCA, worried that I have no proof of doing it (other than some note on their system that the account was to be suspended for a month). Thought that by doing it again I could send it recorded or retain proof of posting?

 

For clarity, all payments I made went to the account details vivus gave me, I havent paid a penny to MMF.

Vivus havent gone bust!

 

 

 

Still trading ~:)

 

Thats a different company. The original vivus.co.uk was owned by a company named '4finance ltd' as they are named on my loan agreement. Then, when MMF contacted me I tried to visit vivus.co.uk and it had been replaced by a holding page saying that all the outstanding debts had been sold on and to contact receivers/administrators. The new vivus.co.uk website is now run by a company named 'V7 ltd.'

 

I'm not sure whether any of the above matters though.

 

 

In addition, check clearscore to make sure theres nothing there either. Not all creditors report to all cra agencies so worth checking.

 

 

Nothing on clearscore either.

 

good then don't pay mmf anything

 

Im understanding the consensus is ignore but dont know why? What if they pass the debt on to a different company? What is it about the situation that means I can ignore them? I have paid more back than I borrowed but was of the impression there was still money outstanding for the debt/

As it is a PDL and the original company are in administration the cost to take you to court would be as much as the loan is worth, and they would end up with nothing if they had to give the money to the administrators.
