    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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've got a situation with an old debt that is now effectively on my credit report twice.

 

The original debt was £50.

 

The DCA have increased it to £200.

 

But the weird thing is that there are two entries on my credit file for the same debt. One marked as closed and one open.

 

Is there anything I can do about this as it kinda looks to any new creditors like the 2nd entry is a 'new' debt, which it isn't.

 

The DCA is shown as "Debt Managers".

Hi

Im so sorry to tag onto the end of this forum but I do not know where to write. I have a credit report issue. I swapped mobile phones and missed a final payment which is now cleared but has hurt my credit report and a subseuquent mortgage application. Could you possibly redirect me to the right forum?

 

Thanks in advance and apologies again

I suppose, yeah. Just not seen it done before with any other accounts.

 

EDIT: It's an old Next catalogue account.

 

If I settled this with them, considering it's over 3 years old and DCA fees make up most of the debt, what are the chances of the DCA removing the default(s) from my file? Any letters I can use?

About as much chance of you winning the national lottery each week for the next month.

 

There is absolutely NO chance of this being removed, whether you pay up or not, this WILL auto drop off your credit file on its sixth birthday.

 

DCA's CAN'T add fees, there is no legal remit to do so and are unlawful penalty fees..

 

What have DM been sending you?

 

What is the debt? Mobile phone? Overdraft? Loan??????????????????

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hmm, don't like those odds.

 

It's a Next catalogue account.

 

Does the DCA apply the default or the original creditor?

 

All I know is that the amount owed before being passed to the DCA was around £50. Now it's shot up to £200!

The OC applies the default, the DCA can ONLY update it.

 

So Next will have defaulted you and applied the credit mark, when did you take the cat out??

 

The odds are in YOUR favour, there is zero point in throwing money at it, just to try and improve your CRF, you won't, it's there for 6 years regardless.

They've been sending emails....asking for contact to be made and then recently something about a 'legal assessment'....

 

There was no contact before but it just started out of the blue late last year.

 

Ignore emails AND any attempt to contact you by phone, if they do ring, laugh and hang up.

 

Deal with them in writing ONLY.

 

Wait for them to send you a begging letter, and pop back here and tell us what they say.

no the DCA would not have added anything.

next would have done that before the sale

as they would have defaulted the debt too

 

 

and sadly no theres no way to remove the default

paying it wont resolve the issue either.

 

 

have you sent next an sar to get all the statements.

 

 

if you can PROVE the debt is all penalty charges then once reclaimed

it would prove the default notice was faulty

and that might resolve the issue

Hang on - just found a document from them from last year, which is maybe why they started chasing:

 

We are attempting to contact the above named person and our recent investigations have resulted in your details being obtained from a credit reference agency. Your address has been provided by them due to a link with the data we hold, as a possible new address for the person we are wishing to contact.

 

To verify that you are the person we are wishing to contact, or if you believe you are not the subject, please contact us urgently on 01709 537 265 so that our records can be updated appropriately.

 

If we do not receive a response to this letter within 7 days, we will assume the link is correct and further communication will be made.

 

 

I even wrote to Next when I was made redundant and offered a token payment and to stop interest, but it looks like they ignored that completely.

Sorry missed your bit about account statements.

 

How would I go about doing this?

 

 

 

 

I don't want to restart the 'statute barred clock'.

Once I can prove with statements that over 60% of the alleged debt is charges and I didn't receive a default notice, what would you recommend for next steps? Nothing unless they issue a court claim.

 

Have you ever heard of a DCA transferring a debt back to the OC?

yes

I've had this as well - how does it actually work in terms of what the purchaser paid for the debt - do they get their money back ?

 

Who really cares?
