    • Morning guys As Bank suggested, I've now re-worked my POC to include details of my parcel's original loss,  miraculous rediscovery a month later and subsequent delivery, albeit having been opened and the contents removed. Grateful for your thoughts please, as (P2G having gone very quiet) I intend to initiate court proceedings against P2G tomorrow - 1 May. Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing 8 second-hand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and whilst Evri collected the parcel for delivery on 18 March 24 they then ‘misplaced’ it a day later, formally declaring it lost on 27 March. On 16 April they found it and delivered it on 17 April but, at some point before delivery, it had been opened and the contents removed . The defendant refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is also in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80  
    • Odd one this, I recieved 2 notice's for the 18th and 19th April stating that I overstayed on Wigan Robin Retail Park. Permitted Minutes 180. They state I was there 355 minutes on the 18th and 388 minutes on the 19th. Both times I was there around 10 minutes getting my wife a brew from costa after dropping the kids off at school.  On both days I had passed through there a second time around 3pm, again to get a brew then left. Both notices have 2 images each, Entrance and exit.  This is the interesting bit. The Entrance images both timestamped actually clearly show I am exiting the retail park not entering it. And the exiting images they provided show me leaving the carpark after visiting a second time later in the day. In the attachments You'll see all 4 images show that I am exiting, none of them are of me entering. I understand most if not all that see this post won't know the area but if the look at the map link i gave you'll see the road I was on leading up to the main road. g24 ltd 1.pdfg24 ltd 1.pdf GoogleMap view of the road I am on in the entrance images I would have had dashcam footage but I since formatted the memory card. I tried recovery tools but I couldn't get the files back.  
    • An update: I just got another PCN. I get the feeling that someone in the residence is calling OPS, as it's dated for a few mins after I parked. I won't appeal of course. Interestingly, our cleaner was also parked but didn't get a PCN. I asked them why and apparently they're whitelisted. I did ask the MA if they could whitelist me and they said they couldn't. Clearly they decided not to tell the truth. Surely, this would resolve all of the issues entirely i.e. we'd keep non-residents from parking, whilst allowing for residents to park without issue? Also, could OPS now take me to court for both PCNs separately, or could it be one case?    
    • I was with sse broadband until Jun 2023 at which point without notifying me they passed me to origin broadband who I was unaware is my supplier now -  My broadband at home kept working and I was under the impression that sse are taking direct debit payments from my bank account and everything is fine because the Internet has continued to work.  To my horror I have just noticed that origin broadband has been sending me PDF bills for £39 a month and the email heading has been showing as just no reply so I thought it was junk and never bother to check it.  I have now noticed a bill every month and now I owe them some £350. I did instruct origin to supply me Internet and therfore don't feel responsible for this debt.  What are my rights and is it a legal debt considered I did not sign any agreements with them - their first contact with me tho was very clever back in July 2023 trying to lure me into an agreement however because I just saw that email now I'm not sure what to do because I owe them 400 pounds nearly supposedly at 39 per month.  Our agreement with sse was for 26 per month but they shut shop and passed us to origin without asking our consent.    The following is what origin email said back in July before they stated sending invoice every month for payment.    We hope you're enjoying your reliable phone and broadband with us. We're just letting you know your phone and broadband package will end on 30 Jun 2023. Thankfully, good things don't need to come to an end - read on to decide what you want to do next.   Below you'll find the details of your current package and some other great options to compare it to.   What can I do - shall I just pay the debt and cancel it and move elsewhere or is there any way I can fight this as they are more or less enforced upon us with out permission by sse who most Likly sold our accounts to them.    Any help greatly 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.

In 1996, I applied for the then student loan for as 2 years course.

 

Once I finished my University, and for a long while, I didn't get any jobs where my earning reached the threshold necessary to start paying it back.

 

I then moved to Australia and live there almost close to 4 years.

 

I hadn't heard anything from the SLC (Student Loan Company) since 1997.

 

When I got back from Australia, I suffered a stroke and since then I have completely forgotten about this loan.:sad:

 

However, last week, I got a letter making demands to pay the loan back?:!:

 

Isn't this supposd to be statute barred? (No communcations since 1997?)

 

Also I am going to be 51 and I was under the impression that the loan gets written off once you are that age?

 

The long and the short of it is that my daughter needs to apply for a student loan and my wife has been able to fill-in her side

 

and I am supposed to do mine, but it keep saying error and that I must contact them by phone.

 

 

I am not sure what to do next?

 

Is this statute barred or not?

 

Thank you for your help

Hi dx, it was from a company called Erudio and the letter says there is a possibility of a settlement figure of 20% but the total figure is around £4534,

 

 

whereas the loan I think it was around £1800 or so, since it was only a two year course.

One of the things I have just read is not good :shock:

 

"If your account is in arrears and you reach the age-related cancellation threshold, your loan will not be cancelled until you clear your arrears."

 

The age related criteria is only applied, in what I have understood, only if and when the loan repayment has never been in arrears (other criteria apply like loan must have been taken while under 40 or at least 25 years have passed)

 

This suggests that the loan is still active and this outfit will do everything to get a slice of it. Though I am sure they were sold the debt at a pence per loan application!

 

Oh well, I was getting chuffed about one good thing in being 50 but no...:roll:

 

Further interesting read on Erudio practices.

 

If you are thinking of making an offer for repayment, I suggest you read the following carefully:

 

How will a 'partial' settlement affect my credit rating?

 

Usually, if your partial settlement is accepted, the lender can put a flag next to your credit file saying the loan has been partially settled.

 

Erudio says once it starts relaying information to credit agencies, it will report partial settlements as '0P', with the P standing for 'Partial', but different credit reference agencies may use different terminology on their own credit reports.

 

For instance, Experian and Equifax show partial settlements as 'satisfied', although a company can add a flag to the report to say, for instance, that the payment has been received in full, but it would not fully clear the balance.

 

However, whichever way a partial settlement is logged on your credit file, both Experian and Equifax say it represents some sort of "bad debt", and that this won't help to improve your credit rating.

 

But they do add that a partial settlement is less harmful to your credit file than a number of outstanding debts, and of course, all lenders have their own criteria for customers to meet in order to be offered credit.

 

How will a 'full' settlement offer affect my credit rating?

Erudio says when it starts passing information to credit agencies, it will report full settlements as 'Paid in Full' which will be marked with a '0'.

 

But again, different credit reference agencies may have their own terminology for this. Experian says it records full settlements on its reports as 'settled', while Equifax says they would show as 'satisfied paid in full'.

 

In terms of how this affects your credit rating and ability to take out credit in future, both Experian and Equifax say a fully settled account could be a boon, especially if it's been repaid on time each month as it demonstrates responsibility in repaying any debt.

 

All good, but hmmm, should I do partial or full?

 

I think it might be worth asking them for a breakdown of that £4534 since I only took out less than £2000? I guess osme of it is down to interests.

Hmm

 

Once earnings are over the threshold, you pay the outstanding amount over 60 months (84 months if you have more than 4 loans).

 

In other words, a full repayment in my case - assuming I am not taking the offer of discount at 20%, it would come to £76 a month roughly.

 

A 20% discount gives roughly £3628 as outstanding so the monthly is just over £60 a month.

 

 

I am leaning towards paying this - good for record and my heart :lol:

 

Please feel free to share your opinions and helpful tips. Appreciate all help thank you :)

 

Ha ha ha.... Seems this is a right mess!!

 

Read on:

 

Between 2008 and March 2014, the SLC made a long-running error in correspondence sent to borrowers with pre-1998 loans who were in arrears.

 

The SLC says nobody overpaid their loans, or paid any additional charges or interest because of this mistake.

 

But as it "potentially" broke the law by failing to disclose arrears correctly, all interest payments and charges borrowers paid from the moment they received their arrears letter from the SLC, until their loan was sold to Erudio last month, will be refunded.

 

Here's what happened:

 

  • Any borrower who missed two or more repayments received a letter from the SLC saying their account was in arrears.
  • Students who went to university before 1998 often have more than one loan to repay. But the SLC sent a combined Notice of Statement in Arrears (NOSIA), which detailed a borrower's overall arrears.
  • Crucially, it should have sent individual NOSIAs, which break down the separate arrears for each of a student's loans.
  • This blunder was spotted when the loan accounts were transferred from the SLC to Erudio Student Loans this year (see the Student loans sold MSE News story).
  • The SLC says the mistake means it may have breached the Consumer Credit Act, which was changed in 2008.

 

Maybe why they are willing to offer 20% discount?

 

Might be a better option to tell them that I was expecting the refund from the blunder and see where that takes me? :lol:

 

Turning this into the mother of all Erudio threads in here, hopefully with the aim to help people in my predicament :thumb:

 

Interesting approach...

 

Statute Barred?

 

From CAG OP:sequenci2012 thread: Can SL be statute barred?

 

Yes, 100%. Both old-style (e.g. pre-98) and new-style student loans can become statute barred subject to the Limitation Act.

 

The limitation period is 6 years.

 

The only difference between old and new style is that new style loans can be recovered from ongoing PAYE tax - even after the 6 years limitation period is up.

 

 

 

FURTHER ON, under the same thread:

 

Student Loans are an unusual case, as they changed in September 1998. Any Student Loan taken out before this date was a consumer crediticon agreement, which means the limitation acticon 1980 applies. But any Student Loan taken since then is an ‘income contingent’ loan – so repayments can be deducted from your wages without any court involvement, regardless of how old the debt is.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to take that approach, here's a template for a statute barred letter:

 

 

(Your home address)

__________________

__________________

 

Date:______________

 

To:

 

without prejudice

 

 

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account No:

 

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that under the Limitation Act 1980 Section 5:

 

“An action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued”.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under their debt collectionicon Guidance on statute barred debt that:

 

“It is unfair to pursue the debt if the debtor has heard nothing from the creditor during the relevant limitation period”.

 

The last correspondence/payment or acknowledgement of this debt was made over six years ago and no further acknowledgement or payment has been made since that time. Unless you can provide evidence of payment or written contact from me/us in the relevant period under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, I/we suggest that you are no longer able to take any court action against me/us to recover the alleged amount claimed.

 

The OFT Debt Collection Guidance states further that:

 

“Continuing to press for payment after a debtor has stated that they will not be paying a debt because it is statute barred could amount to harassment contrary to section 40 (1) of the Administration of Justice Act 1970”.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that no further contact will be made concerning the above account and confirmation that this matter is now closed.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully

When I try to login to the site at Students Finance England with the url logonDOTslcDOTcoDOTuk/cas/logon because I am parent and need to provide information to support my daughter's application

 

I don't remember the password and it asks me for name and DOB and I do supply these but site crashes with this (note tried the registration route with exact same outcome)

 

I get this error:

Just an update on this:

 

I tried different machines to log into the Student loan England site even using work laptop but kept getting the same issues.

 

I had at this stage sent a SAR to Erudio too.

 

I then decided to call Student loan England, not Erudio. I picked option 1 when I called them which is the one about having problems logging into the site.

The automated system will ask for a cust ref which I just entered some random numbers because I don't have that anymore.

 

At this stage, the system keeps trying to get that ref and it can drive you nuts :x

 

After a while, the system does send your call to a real person. Yay!

 

However, be prepared to be asked about your full name, dob, first line of address, postcode, tel no...Even if that was years ago and you had moved few places in your life since :mad2:

 

You can call them twice and if you get it right within that you can have password resetted like in my case but if you get it wrong after the second call, you'll have to send in documents to support your identification!

 

Happy to say I have since managed to complete the app form on the initial laptop too!

 

Cheers all for reading this and special mention to dx100. Thanks a lot dx100!

 

Hope this helps someone :)
