    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.
    • Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store.

    • 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.

let the judge lead not you

 

Will do ;)

 

Just out of interest....

 

If i do end up loosing this, is there an appeals process or is the judges word final ?

 

The reason i ask is like andy said a few posts back, it would mean that my statutory rights hadn't been listened to.

A bit of a strange one ..

 

The judge asked me to swear in before saying if I recall the items.

 

And has adjourned it untill after lunch.

I (we) won, I (we) won, I (we) won, :whoo:

 

A very long day but it paid off in the end.

 

First i got there two hours early so had to sit around.

 

Then when we were called in, the judge didn't have any of my documents or Lowell's witness statement so we had to go and wait outside while she read through all the copies we gave her.

 

On return lowell's solicitor started going on about all the items lists and screenshots he had provided in his witness statement and the payment sheet for payment that had been made in the past against the account. he then went on to ask how he would have the correct bank details if there were no relations between us in the past.

 

The judge then looked at me and said "what is your response to that.

 

I then explained that the screenshots don't hold any weight as they didn't on the first hearing.

 

The claimant has still failed to provide a valid credit agreement as the so called credit agreement was meant to be pre April 2007 , The claimant has also failed to satisfy the court the the documents requested such as delivery notes sales receipts...etc

 

The just then asked me if i would stand in the dock and swear myself in and then say the i don't remember any of the items or entering in to any agreement with shop direct.

 

I did this then the solicitor starting asking me loads of questions with thing like "would you ever pay someone else debts".

 

 

After all this i was seated back in my original seat and i pushed again about the section 127, the judge said "what is this " i then said i have a copy if you like.

 

The solicitor (now on his laptop) started going on about a case where section 127 was tried and failed. the judge asked him when this case was and he said under his breath (2009).

 

The judge then said she wanted some lunch and to comeback in a few hours so it would also give her a chance to read through everything i had given her.

 

At this point i thought my chance of success was 60/40 to him because she really seemed to be taking in everything he said.

 

 

On return (again) the judge started out by saying that the screenshots lowell had provided" were just not good enough evidence"

 

she then said the agreement would need to be a signed copy as it was pre April 2007,

 

then she read through all the letters that lowell were meant to have sent out

with every one of them having a different person or account number on them

 

said it was no wonder it couldn't me recollected as it was so confusing who was even requesting the money.

 

She then said she could no way side with the claimant and that was the end of the matter.

 

She then looked at me and said "you do know your entitled to costs"....lol

 

I said well there's the parking fees at £20 a go Congestion charges...etc

 

The solicitor then said there's no reason why public transport could not be taken

and while they were trying to work out how much that would be,

the judge said lets just leave it at that and go home.

 

To be honest at this point i thought the same so here i am.

 

There's actually a lot more that went on with conversations but as they will come to me and ill post them up ;)

 

Ive got to say a HUGE thank you to andy and everyone else that helped me through this as i couldn't have done it without you all ;)

hey guessed right then in the first few posts

no signed agreement aint going nowhere

 

and see what a difference it makes to badger people to read up upon what they need to know...

had you not some that [i'e S 127] you probably would have lost.

 

well done CAG

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...
