    • I've just taken another look through the stuff they sent me in response to the CPR request, the notice of assignment isn't the original , it's on a plain sheet of non letterhead paper, in fact it could have easily been typed up by Overdales, or anybody really.  On the other side of the paper are standard Lowell terms and conditions that are only half on the page. Should this be part of my defence?
    • I agree with my site team colleague above. We need to know all the facts including which company you are dealing with and an explanation of the problem. It really is too difficult to start giving speculative advice on some speculative problem that you have laid out as a generalised scenario
    • Moorcroft are sending a rep round to my house this week. What is the best way to handle this? Ignore and not answer the door or engage with them? I haven't acknowledged anything since I started on this journey and defaulted on my cards in December 2022
    • Very sorry but with the best will in the world, I don't think we can at all understand what the situation is here. Please can you try rewriting this on a word processor and maybe send a copy of what you have written to a friend and working out together so that the story is complete but as brief as possible. Maybe a list of dates as well. If you can do that and then repost your story we can have a look
    • Hi, I am a local authority tenant and was in a 3 bed house. At the end of last year, my last child moved out and so did my spouse as we are now going through a divorce which meant that I was in the house alone and decided that I needed to downsize not only for myself but to offer the property to a family that needed it. I registered on the local authority housing bidding site as i was asked to do and I was accepted and given a priority banding as I was downsizing and they were desperate for my house. I have been extremely lucky and after about 6 weeks was accepted for a new build from a housing association via the housing gateway. I viewed the property 2 weeks ago and had to sign the tenancy last week when they were doing bulk signups for the houses and that is the day I moved. In between viewing and sign up, I contacted my current local authority landlord and asked how I give notice as I had been accepted for a property I had bid on and was moving.  The lady told me how to do it online and then said that I needed to give a full weeks notice which wasnt a problem as I had enough time.  (I was also told a weeks notice was what i would need to give by another staff member about a month ago when I phoned up for another housing related question.  I dont have any of this in writing.) I have now moved, handed back the keys and I am now being told that I need to give 4 weeks notice which I cannot afford. I hav e spoken to the council again explaining that I was told a week and that to be honest, if I knew they were going to charge me 4 weeks I would not have been able to move and would have stayed in the other house.  I thought I was doing the right thing. They said that calls are recorded and they asked me when I called in and was told a week and they would listen to the telephone conversation and if it was correct what I was told, they would see what they could do to reduce the notice period. They have now emailed me back and said that they have listened to the conversation and the lady said 4 weeks notice and I am liable for 4 weeks rent.  Now I may well of misheard her when I thought she said a full weeks notice she may have said 4 weeks notice but I am sure she said a full weeks notice and i was told a week by another member of staff a few weeks ago. I have emailed her back and said that I may of misheard but I would like to listen to the phone recording myself.  As yet they havent responded. I think its unreasonable for them to make me give 4 weeks when I had to sign the new tenancy with little notice or loose the property.  And it was all done through their gateway, and they will have a tenant in there pretty much straight away getting rent from them. I am on a very low income, I am on my own, I have serious medical issues and I am really getting myself stressed out over this. Any advice would be so appreciated.  Can I insist they let me listed to the recording? RH

    • 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.

So far,

Nolans claimed not to have received my cca request.

 

I sent again this time with proof.

 

They replied..."will request from client" (they don't have?)

 

I have received an order from the sheriff to attend a case management discussion on 17th July.

 

I have already disputed the claim.

 

Also to add,

the day I received the simple claim I emailed nolans stupidly.

..they asked for 3 pieces of info

..I did not contact them again I contacted cag instead.

 

Any contact with court I have used an alternative email.

 

Nolans posted acknowledgement on 9th after receiving on 31st

today is 15th and I haven't received anything.

 

Also the case discussion is with cabot and not with Nolans

right so as post 29 then

stick by your guns

 

I doubt nolans will show

twill be a local 'rep'

 

Scotland is unlike England

they don't usually buttonhole you outside

or want a little chat.

but if they do

refuse smile walk away.

 

don't let them lead the Sherriff

though they themselves are usually quite cute and on your side anyway.

object to any continuance or sist.

 

if you get a chance

force home your statement that they've had time enough to produce the relevant paperwork and have failed the time limit on the CCA request you sent xxx

and that over many years many Debt Collection agencies have sent many letters

all of whom have failed to produce any paperwork, but never the less sold the debt on to the next one to try.

 

you respectfully request the claim be dismissed without leave to resume ever

Think nolans, dunno about the sheriff

 

he asked me if I admitted the Debt,

I said I had an overdraft with the bank that was withdrawn.

 

He has asked them to produce a paper trail to me to show how they acquired the Debt.

Which will prove I owe?

Will they be able to produce this?.

I think I'm beat tbh

so he wants them to produce a notice of assignment then.

doesn't mean you owe it though

could all be made up of bank charges+interest.

 

plus they claim they have a signed agreement

what did he say about that one!

 

 

and ofcourse you stated:

 

 

The court will be aware that penalty charges and the recoverability thereof have been judicially declared to be susceptible to assessments of fairness under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 The Office of Fair Trading v Abbeylink3.gif National PLC and others (2009). I will contend at trial that such charges are unfair in their entirety.

Yes notice of Assignment was mentioned.

I mentioned them saying that they had proof in original paperwork- no reply.

 

Confused - I didn't say that.

 

So still not beat yet then, I feel the judge tried to have me admit the Debt. He summarised - you owe this debt but don't know to whom? I didn't reply.

you haven't admitted the debt .

you stated:

 

 

It is admitted with regards to the respondent once having had banking facilities with the original creditor XXXX. It is denied that I am indebted for any alleged balance claimed.

 

 

you said bankng facilities not THIS SPECIFIC BANK ACCOUNT.

Good luck Michael.

 

Neither Nolans or Cabot will go anywhere near a courtroom up here, so don't worry. As long as you are more informed than the local agent the judge will eventually tire of it & launch it out

 

Nolans took me to court for the same thing earlier this year, no showed & lefty the local agent looking daft every time.

 

They failed to produce any proof of how & when I last paid their client & when it came to the proof part (3rd time in court) they tried to circumvent court procedure by asking for more time.

 

Not entirely sure how they are allowed to waste so many people's time but there we are.

The pause was to be six months, that lapsed 17 Feb just past.

 

Today I got an amended simple procedure in, they had stated the wrong bank and date.

 

They have now fixed this and sent a screenshot of my name and address from a computer...they say this is the proof.

 

I have a chance to ask the sheriff to reject the changes.

 

How should I word my request? (D1)
