    • What you've just written complicates things. No, the snotty letter now needs to be changed so don't rush and send something off just yet. We see you've done your reading up - well done - so you'll have seen we have several cases with our mate Kev.  His MO is to hide signs in the undergrowth where no-one will see them, and ignore consideration & grace periods, so he can issue his invoices.  His antics mean that motorists are legally in the right not to pay his invoices.  And so far he hasn't had the bottle to do court. However, your case is different.  As much as we despise Kev, you didn't pay for the private car park that Kev "manages" but instead gave the money to a completely different car park run by the council.  In that case Kev does have the right to be miffed.  I've just a mock booking for Sea View car park on JustPark and it works no problem. I think you have two decisions to make. 1.  Do you want to do a chargeback with your bank to get back the £60 you paid?  I did a chargeback about a year ago for the first time, i didn't have a clue what to do, but the regulars here guided me and everything was painless. 2.  Although you are probably legally in the wrong and may have outed yourself as the driver do you want to refuse to pay Kev for the other two?  If Kev won't do court then after all his bluster you'll be in the clear. However, as there are two tickets involved (potentially three if you go for chargeback) Kev's geed might win over his lack of backbone and he may go for court. There's no easy solution.  Your choice.  We will of course support you all the way with what you decide.
    • Ok thanx  I keeping coming across this term “ holding defence”. Can someone explain what this is. Thanx. 
    • Thank you @lookinforinfo and @FTMDave.  The car park I paid for by mistake instead of this one was Cornwall council, not Alliance. Will the letter still be ok in this instance? Thank you so much again for your help. When you open the Just Park app in the  Alliance car park (Sea View) the first car park that comes up is Polzeath Beach. Both car parks are on the beach. The signs do not give a code for 'Sea View' anywhere. I also have not been able to find the landowner to complain. (not on land registry.) Please confirm whether above letter is ok to send, thanks again.
    • OK thanks, I noted them down when I checked the report - 3 have already expired, although if I'm adding the 14 days on then it'll be another week or so for those. The others are; end of July (so into August is that right?), end of August (these two are the big ones) and a couple of grand on Shop Direct at the end of November but seeing as this furthest one is Lowell and they have already missed those first 3 then I feel pretty safe with that one. Are these DN dates on the credit report that dates I should be looking at +14 days when their anniversaries come up this year as the time when I can be sure the debts are SB?  I won't be rushing to send the SB letters anyway until the final one has passed and I can just do them in one fell swoop.

    • 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

 

I have 2 debts that were started in approx 2006

one barclaycard PRA group sold to these in 2015

one abbey loan now with Cabot.

 

both been in a dmp since 2010 and I've been paying monthly to a company.

 

I've stopped that now and I pay direct.

But what I was wondering is do I send a CCA to the company which have aquired these debts.

 

One is PRA group sold to these in 2015 and the loan is now with Cabot.

 

Cabot is off credit file and PRA group shows are arrangement to pay as Barclays didn't default me early on like abbey

Hi Claire and Welcome to CAG

 

Responding to your PM.

 

Yes you send a CCA request (section 77 for loans) to CABot and PRA.

 

Regards

 

Andy

We could do with some help from you.

Ok I've been reading on here that's what to do when sold to dca.

 

 

Was slightly unsure as to what to do and what outcome as I do owe the money.

 

 

Shall I continue to pay as PRA have only been on my credit report for a year

and now it stands at 927 I wouldn't want to jeopardise that

As you have been paying anyway there is nothing to be achieved by withholding payment apart from annoy the DCA...if they fail to comply with your requests you can reduce any payment to the bear affordable minimum.

And if they can't produce anything? Does that mean I don't have to pay them anymore?

 

That's a decision for you Claire..(its not enforceable in court until they do) but we cannot advocate debt avoidance on CAG

The reason I ask that as I'm considering asking for a full and final settlement figure on the 2 and would pay the lowest one first.

 

They will still remain on your CRAs paid or unpaid for a period of 6 years.

cabot wont hold the correct paperwork, so you can safely put that one to sleep. make sure you CCA all your creditors though. Just to make sure.

 

If they were sure they had a valid debt, theyd just take you to court and get money. Right now, youre a prime cash cow.

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..

p'haps you need to complain to Barclaycard about the AP markers

if there is no default - that's unfair

we've had good success with BC and these dreaded AP markers that never go away

and will kill credit for years even after the debt is paid off.

 

have a search for AP markers, using our search CAG in the top red toolbox.

 

have you also thought about getting all the statements for both

via an SAR?

as you could well have penalty charges on both that could reduce the balance?

 

the sar goes to the original creditors

Barclaycard/ pra is the biggest one its stands at 4500.

Pra group is showing in debt management plan not arrangement to pay.

Just checked

 

Cabot is around 2000

 

I've already spoke to barclaycard regarding the matter of not marking default

as if they had added the default not 6 payments late for over 5 years

it would be dated with pra too

it's not they have told me to call back in 14 days.

Twice.

 

My score on experian is standing at 927 out of 999 at the moment it was horrific!!

Just been on the phone to barclaycard again about no default.

They have agreed to totally remove entires from credit file

as yes they should have defaulted it in June 2010 a

nd are going to tell PRA group to do the same.

 

 

They've also paid me £100 for the inconvience of all the phonecalls

and lack of action on their behalf.

 

 

I'll be posting CCA to PRA group later too.

Once they are in default of your cca request... the option of paying or other is up to you.

 

Since the debt won't be legally enforceable until they provide a compliant copy.... I'll let you do the rest

doubt it.

 

they cant goto court without an enforceable agreement.

 

if or if not that exists we don't know yet.

 

nothing to stop you dropping the payment right down to almost nothing

Ok I'm more worried if they could take me to court. Before I could go back on a payment plan

 

They let you go ona payment plan because they very likely dont have the correct paperwork to enforce it, so theyre bluffing you.

 

As for court.... if they dont have a compliant agreement, they cant do court. If they try and you havent recieved the paperwork, you can use a holding defence.

Update

 

PRA group have stopped collection activities

but have sent me the last few copy's of statements from Barclays late in 2010

when I say staments it's just printed off amounts.

They didn't aquire debt until sept 2015

And there is no PRA group showing on experian since last week.

It was showing arrangement to pay since sept 2015

 

Cabot have said they can take up to 40 days to get information required

Cabot have taken this months payment out of bank.

 

I have also sent CCA to Tesco today

as they didn't sell my debt on

but this debt hasn't shown on credit report

since it went in to dmp in Dec 2010.

once the 12+2 working days has passed

pers i'd be cancelling any payments they have access too across the board.

 

 

you can always restart them yourself

ideally

if a debt is owned by a DCA

you should never ever set up a DD to them.

 

 

standing order only!
