    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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.

Background

- about 4 years ago we wrote a cheque but there were insufficient funds in our account.

Rather than bouncing it, HSBC paid it and this put us into overdraft for £350.

 

Long story short,

they have been chasing this through various debt collectors and the debt was sold to Hoist, who have issued a claim against us.

 

We filed a defence, which was that we don't have enough info to confirm or deny the debt and that we had sent a Subject Access Request to the creditor.

 

They responded with a notice of assignment and copy of the terms and conditions.

We decided against mediation so the matter got allocated to a small claims court.

 

We then received a CJR065C from the court saying:

"Unless the Defendant files and serves a detailed defence complying with CPR 16.5 by 28/09/16 the Defence shall stand struck out without further order and the Claimant be entitled to enter judgement forthwith".

 

we are trying to put together a defence and also see if we can negotiate with the claimant at this late stage.

 

The terms and conditions we were sent state, under the heading When payments will and will not be made by us

that payments will be made if there are funds in the account or if an overdraft is in place (there was no overdraft agreed at the time).

 

It doesn't say anything about making payments when there are insufficient funds or no overdraft in place!

 

We also haven't received an overdraft termination notice because no overdraft existed (until HSBC created one to make this payment).

 

Something doesn't seem right here - any advice appreciated!

FWIW hoist have issued lots of claimforms on old HSBC OD/loan debts

they must have bought a recent phishing list and are trying their luck to get loads of undefended default judgements.

 

 

most of these HSBC debts are somewhat sceptical merging ...of CC and Non CCA od's/and loans

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? BANK ACCOUNT WAS OPENED AROUND 2010 BUT NO OVERDRAFT FACILITY WAS EVER AGREED.

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.

 

ASSIGNED AS PER LETTER DATED 01 DEC 2013

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment?

 

DON'T THINK SO BUT RECEIVED ONE FROM CLAIMANT RECENTLY AS PART OF RESPONSE TO SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST.

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?

 

NO DEFAULT OR TERMINATION NOTICE (NO FORMAL OVERDRAFT ARRANGEMENT WAS EVER SET UP, SO THEY COULDN'T REALLY TERMINATE IT!

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? NO

Why did you cease payments?

 

LIKE I SAID, A CHEQUE WAS PAID WITH INSUFFICIENT FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT, THUS CREATING AN UNAUTHORISED OVERDRAFT - NO PAYMENTS MADE BY US.

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? NO

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? NO

so they [the OC] created an unauthorised OD on your behalf

nothing wrong there sadly .

 

 

and as the account was only opened in 2010 cant be statute barred either.

 

 

might have to swallow this one dpac. and go for a tomlin/consent order for a small monthly sum to avoid the CCJ being registered.

 

 

unless anyone else can see a viable defence?

So bank's can create unauthorised overdrafts if they feel like it? I thought they needed the customer's consent to make it binding?

 

Do you think it would be a good idea to contact the claimant and offer £10 per month or even a lump sum? How much are they likely to accept as a one off payment? 50-60%?

yes, you'll see its in the accounts T&C's if you'd requested them via a CPR31:14

which you ideally should have sent the sols the day you got the claimform

 

 

as for the pay off

have you all the statements in the sar?

that's why

an sar should always goto the OC.

 

 

twould be useful for you to be able to identify what are penalty charges [late/over/letter failed DD etc] any fixed sum penalty fees

which are unlawful under FCA rules

removed in mediation etc to reduce the possible figure should you look toward tomlin/consent etc....

 

 

could you not pop into a branch and get all the statements

as an sar to them will be 40days away

Are the bank going to give us statements same day given that they forcibly closed the account?

 

Any thoughts on a defence as we need to submit something even if we liaise with Hoist about a settlement?

 

They probably won't be able to print off statements in a branch for a closed account. You would need to find out from HSBC customer services phone line, the quickest way to get hold of them. There might be a way, you can order them and pick them up in a branch or have them sent to you, as part of an SAR.

 

Will leave others to answer the defence part

 

What was the value of the cheque they processed ? Was the cheque offered with a debit card guarantee up to a certain amount ?

We could do with some help from you.

Account was standard with a debit card and no overdraft. Not aware that the debit card was linked to the cheque in any way.

 

The debit card used to act as a guarantee for a cheque up to an amount £50 or £100. Beyond the relevant amount, a Bank would not normally accept a cheque.

 

Think you need to look at the account terms and conditions. It might well be a mistake for the Bank to have accepted a cheque for £350. I suspect they should have bounced it and applied relevant fee for that.

We could do with some help from you.

I don't recall as it was a while ago but I'm pretty sure we would have only written a cheque if we thought there was enough in there.

 

transactions don't always clear same day (as if the banks do it on purpose to trip people up) and we probably had a payment that hadn't fully cleared.

 

Sorry I can't be more specific
