    • Is the letter headed Letter of Claim/before Claim or similar? If not, it sounds like more of the threatogram chain. If you're not sure, post up an anonymised copy of the letter and we'll check. HB
    • So guess what, we have received a final demand letter for £100. It states if payment is not made by 11/06 they will have no option but to forward the case to their litigation dept with a view to commence County Court Proceedings. So just wondering if anyone has any advice. Do we ignore this? or do we need to take action? Thanks 
    • hi dx, thanks for helping just re-reading everything this morning and I must have missed this one from uncle in his thread "What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. "  are you in disagreement with this based on your last sentence?
    • Thanks for the reply and clarification, that might just explain why in my case contact has pretty much ceased. Though with such companies it doesn't mean they won't ever threaten to return to court as a tool to force one's hand if they feel they are not self informed on their chances etc.  But concerning how last year they tried to use the CCJ to get a charging order and the court granted an intirum order on our mortgage using the CCJ that would have been a good 2-3 months beyond the 6 years, should the court not have checked the age of the CCJ in the first case or would they always grant an interim order simply off the back of a CCJ being produced without even checking the age of it?.  Had I not defended that action at the time they may well have got a default using a CCJ older than 6 years which could be a concern going forwards. At the time when I contacted the court to question the paperwork for a final order application the clerk suggested people don't get informed when companies apply for interim charging orders, they are automatic if a claimant has a CCJ and people only get contacted once a date for a final order application goes through. kind of begs the question if such companies can continue a seemingly backdoor method to attempt default action if un-defended if the initial application doesn't need to check the age of a CCJ?.
    • Hello!  Wondering if someone can help with this.  I suspect not but worth a go.  I appreciate the "contract is with the seller" line, which is what Evri has fed me but wanted to see if someone with experience in these things could suggest anything else I could do here.  I appreciate there are many topics about lost parcels - My parcels weren't lost, until the driver walked up to my door with them and then decided to make them lost/stolen... I'll summarise what has happened.  Wednesday of last week - Evri delivery driver stole / walked off with 3 of my parcels.  -  Arrived outside my properly, took photos (3 separate photos as its 3 separate deliveries) of the tops of the parcels (pointlessly zoomed in on just the labels, couldn't see anything else, other than a small piece of the pavement and a little weed, which doubly confirms it was outside my door as I can see the same plant), marked the order as delivered and walked off with them.  He's marked on the Evri GPS marked that he was outside.   -  3 different deliveries, from the same company (same boxes etc.), but 3 separate tracking numbers. -  Went through the Evri bot which opened a case on each tracking number.  I then phoned them and left a voicemail explaining what had happened. -  24 hours later had a canned response asking me if the packages had turned up and to check around etc..  I responded explaining again what happened and that they've definitely been taken. -  4 days later,  this morning, I get a response telling me to ask the merchant to refund me. I've responded to this message with a long email, repeating what I said, that I believe the driver has stolen these packages and that he took those suspicious top down shots of the packages, marked them as delivered without ringing or knocking etc.  I've said that I expect them to investigate further, but I gather they won't. In my several messages to them initially and later, I told them I don't care about a refund and wanted the parcels.  They contain some sentimental stuff, nothing of high monetary value, hence me going to this trouble.  I only paid £25 for the contents. I did contact the merchant when this first happened and they asked me to wait a few days.  They ended up refunding me despite me asking them not to and that I wanted them to escalate it with Evri because this appears to be a case of theft.  They didn't seem bothered - Refunded me and told me to go back to Evri and escalate it with them? So - Is there any way to compel Evri to conduct a proper investigation with this driver?  Search for my parcels? I have quite a lot of deliveries handled by Evri (not out of choice) - They used to have a fantastic chap and I rarely had any issues.  He has been replaced by a new guy and I believe the route is handled by this same guy who I believe has taken my packages.  Naturally, I fear this is going to happen again in the future if no investigation occurs. Appreciate any assistance - Thanks for reading. Al.

    • 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.

Welcome secured loans/charge - sold to Alpha/Prime -repo received - ***Claim Dismissed***

My thinking is that there must be a process whereby charges can be disputed. e.g. a creditor, for what ever reason, won't remove it once the debt is paid. That link I provided above seemed to be an avenue - albeit I only skimmed over it.

 

I can see you've done a hell of a lot of work with this. It's admirable, to be perfectly honest.

 

Nevertheless, I think and hope you'll get through this claim and then you can set about addressing things properly. Maybe this claim will settle any issues over there being a chain with all the loans, thus enabling you to take the current Claimant to court later for any reclaimable charges you believe are due. This might substantially reduce the debt balance or even cover the whole amount. The charge will then be much easier to remove from that point. Does that make sense?

Land registry email

 

entry C4 on your title relates to a charge you took out with Progressive Financial services who subsequently went into Liquidation and a portfolio of their charges (over various properties) was sold to Alpha Credit Solutions on 17 September 2016.

 

Once a charge is paid the Loan Company should apply to Land Registry to have the charge dis-charged from the title. You will need to seek Legal advice on how to have this charge removed if it has been satisfied.

 

There is no entry of a charge dated 2008 in favour of Alpha Credit on your title so they would not be entitled to repossess your property.

Yours sincerely

 

They simply don't want to advise you, and are suggesting you get proper legal advice. I'm pretty sure there are options contained within that link.

 

All I'm doing here is trying to help with creating a logical plan of attack by playing the cards you've got in the best way possible. There are clearly issues outstanding, but I think it's not a bad idea to break it down into steps and then just take one step at a time. Step 1 is to get through this repo claim.

Yes it does.

 

Perfect sense I just need to get everything over to the judge clearly and consisly in next hearing.

 

Especially with how much has already been paid to loan. Just over what was borrowed so that’s good too.

 

My figure I was hoping to negotiate to pay them back monthly was around £75/100. Not even sure if that could be an option. Cos it’s up to judge now anyway isn’t it of he’s going to go through the figures

 

The judge already decided he was quashing the repo.

 

So hopefully that still stands next time too

Personally, I think it makes sense to take the remaining loan balance and divide by number of repayments remaining. e.g. £18k with 180 payments left equals £100 p/m.

 

 

....but hit them with a claim of your own later if you can't do anything this time around.

the claimants timings regarding their submission over the relationship between progression finance and welcome finance and the subsequent charge and allocation is serious flawed...

 

its a very big subject ….but its not..

 

not playing games...in basic terms the claimant is wrong...why.

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...

I have already paid to issue the counterclaim against them.

 

The Claimaint has issued a Vexatious claim all along. Changing their story at every oppurtunity.

 

I have all the paperwork to hand and it’s in order so if there’s anything you want to see or know just ask

I'm not sure what you mean DX - but one thing I note is it that in the Claimant's Response to Defence, they state in para 3: "The Defendant has provided a Financial Account.....which confirms that account balance was redeemed in April 2007."

 

Moving to para 4, they state: "The Defendant applied for a further advance in August 2008...".

 

Although they do mention in para 33 that the 2008 loan paid off a subsequent loan - that being acc. 661. Details appear very sketchy on this loan, that links 257 to 984. So much so, that they don't establish a link at all. Nowhere is the 661 account explained or substantiated regards it's role in keeping the charge alive.

 

Is this the loan that hasn't been notified to Land Registry?

 

I just had a peek at the statement they include in RP12 exhibit. It's difficult to work out at a glance, but does show the 661 account at the top and contains a chronological activity history. The amount of charges are absurd! One month that I just picked at random has £150 for "outside call fee".

 

Repayments were £68 p/w - right? ...£272 p/m. Yet, interest was nearly £500 p/m in early '08....plus the added fees. The balance on that account rose from £27k in January 08 to over £30k in Aug 08. The new loan then suddenly costs just £200 or less in interest. What was their game??

I’m going to email you something now it will provide some clarity for you.

 

I believe they are being sketchy on 661 due to the fact it came under the old CCA legislation and should be voided

 

There is a link but they have not provided it it’s 303

 

661 doesn’t link directly to 257

 

I firmly believe that any subsequent charge the LR should have been notified and the legal charge dates changed to correspond with the loans.

 

They were always amended date wise from 2001 to 2006

And maybe a witness statement?

 

I haven’t been asked by the judge to provide anything. But I could really help me if I did. Cos I don’t think my defence done enough. My arguements on each hearing has got the judge on my side as I have made the other side look incompetent . But I just want this finished once and for all on the 15th June

 

They have to provide a Skeleton arguement 7 days before and provide a trial bundle 2 days before

If the claimant has submitted a witness statement in response to the order then the defendant is always entitled to respond...providing its constructive and new and not just regurgitating information.

 

If not then a simple skeleton argument should suffice.

Hi Cruz

 

You'll have the benefit of seeing the Claimant's skeleton from the middle of next week, so you can adapt your own accordingly if necessary. In the meantime, do you want to start listing your key points in defence? i.e. Dispute with OC, Arrears, CCA, Charge, Penalty Charges, etc - that sort of stuff. We can add or subtract points between us in due course.

 

I've got a good skeleton argument here somewhere that I'll pop up when I find it. This will give you a good idea of content and structure. Once you start laying out the basis of what you want to cover, writing the rest will flow and you should feel much clearer then about your approach for the hearing.

Also, I'm mindful of the advice given by ell-enn earlier in the thread, so I need to revisit that and work out if your approach to the hearing this time around needs to be similar to those previous. The aim of the game is the same - the defeat the repo claim. I don't want us to over-complicate things when something much simpler will get you over the line. Let's see how it goes.

He called possession off and said that there aren’t any arrears and I was techicnally in front.

 

The other party wanted to appeal it's written all out on page63/4 see also post 1277

 

 

Ongoing Dispute with welcome finance from March 2015. With regards to IR, penatly charges fake insurances . Sold on almost immediately

 

 

Should the agreement still be covered by CCA

 

The charge on property should have been discharged upon settlement of 257. Then a new one taken out for 661 or 983

 

The Claimaint issuing claim without having facts dates and amounts correct

 

However Now they have upped the arrears so they look they they are more than to Ppi refund. Still don’t add up to themissed monthly payments

Ah, ok... that's a positive. I will go back and re-read that bit. If this stuff is being considered at the hearing, then it's fair game for including in your skeleton and really turn the screw on them. Their case is so full of holes that I doubt they know whether they're coming or going anyway - more a case of hoping they can wing it on sparse information, and avoiding the truth.

I’m just praying the dj was true to his word and is coming back out of retirement to finish this off as he said he would.

 

All along he said that IR can’t be used in a repo case. When I referred to the history and background of loans.

 

Yet now the judge wants breakdowns and its looking to me as if he is opening the statement and figures right up. Even if it is only 984

 

The interest reduction arguement and then falsely claiming interest helped me
