    • You need a back up plan. If you believe that redundancy is very likely, start looking at other employment options.  Don't leave it until you have been made redundant before looking for new employment. I regularly speak to people who have been made redundant and about mental health. Those who have a positive plan, get into employment quickly following redundancy and manage to maintain their finances. Those who don't have a plan, decide to accept redundancy and a period of unemployment. They end up in a downward spiral, with redundancy money spent, debts accumulated, mental health decline and difficulty finding new employment.  
    • Interested observer here as I'm in a similar situation. People become conditioned into seeking and maintaining a perfect credit score/file, but if your situation is that you're unlikely to obtain further credit for the foreseeable future anyway due to your other outstanding debts, then tanking your credit file now won't make a difference other than you've took back control of your finances.
    • Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Since my last post I have received a reply from Plymouth Council Insurance Team concerning my wife’s accident (please see enclosed letter and photo of the offending Badminton post) which they deny any responsibility for the said accident. I feel that the Council is in breach of their statutory duties under the following acts: The Leisure Centre was negligent in its duty of care and therefore, in breach of the statutory duty owed under section 2 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (the Act) to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, and others who might be affected by its undertaking, e.g. members of the public visiting the Leisure Centre to use the facilities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that requires employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require the risk to people’s health and safety from equipment that is used at a Leisure Centre be prevented or controlled. I would like some advice to see if my assumptions are correct and my approach to obtaining satisfactory outcome to this matter are accurate. Many thanks   PLM23000150 - Copy Correspondence.pdf post docx.docx
    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply

    • 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 have not heard anything from Restons since the 16th of June,

where they sent me a letter acknowledging receipt of my "poorly written defence found on numerous consumer websites" and that they were waiting for further instruction from their Clients, Arrow Global.

 

Wow! They really are bullies?

  • 2 months later...

after not hearing anything for 4 months, I received the attached in the post today.

 

Arrow are still contending that the limitations act starts when the default is issued.

Looked at various previous cases and feel I should respond with

REEVES v. BUTCHER. - [1891] 2 Q.B. 509 as well as Swansea City Council v Glass. - [1992] 2 All ER 680

 

As recap:

 

Took out Vanquis card in April 2009.

Last payment made according to SAR from Vanquis: 10th December 2010 (Arrow claim 14/2/2011 - but that was a bounced debit order.)

Restons issued proceedings 30/5/2017

Statute barred defence filed 7/6/2017

Restons sent letter 14/6/2017 saying they're reverting back to client

MCOL confirmed case has been stayed 17/9/2017 as Arrow/Restons never responded to my defence.

Arrow sent attached letter 24/10/2017

 

Any cleverly worded letter I can tell them to bugger off?

If a case is stayed, does the statute barred clock start ticking again?

Any cleverly worded letter I can tell them to bugger off? No need to its a stayed claim....provisional

If a case is stayed, does the statute barred clock start ticking again? No..must be discontinued or struck out

 

But whilst its stayed its not going anywhere ...so as good as statute barred

Thanks, always get confused between stayed and discontinued.

I'm just going to write back saying it's statute barred, stayed and I have no intention of entering into a payment plan with them.

 

Why ?

seems to be where their information comes from, attached reston letter

they claim the cause of action is the expiry of the default notices 14 days warning.......

 

This was shortly followed up by another letter,

saying I owed them £780 for the Vanquis card, last payment date: 18th January 2011.

 

hence the filing of your alternate sb defence

 

claim was issued 30th may 2017....

 

that's how think it went..

Yup, correct. They are claiming SB runs from default date of 29/07/2011, when in fact according to Vanquis SAR results, last payment was made in December 2010. So in effect they have tried to extend the SB date by 7 months.

But you submitted the alternative SB defence that counters the stretching of limitations of time...I think the ICO would allow a delay of at least 6 months to register...possibly 7 so its a close call.

I'm looking more at what the OFT said at the time the contract was running, as well as what the legislation is saying.

A Default Notice, also known as a Regulation 27 notice:

 

Giving of notices of default sums

27. Regulations 28 to 32 shall apply to a notice of default sums given under section 86E of the

1974 Act (notice of default sums) (“the regulation 27 notice”).

28. A regulation 27 notice shall be given to the debtor or hirer by the creditor or owner within 35

days of a default sum becoming payable by the debtor or hirer.

 

In Vanquis copy of the terms and conditions they sent me as part of the SAR I sent them:

 

KEY INFORMATION

 

4.1 If you breach this agreement we may charge you for the following administrative costs:

4.1.1 If we have not received your Minimum Repayment by the repayment due Date, a charge of £12 ("Late Payment Charge")

 

Also:

6.2: Any amount which takes you over your Credit Limit and/or any arrears shown on your monthly statement must be repaid to us in full immediately.

 

So therefore Vanquis are admitting that not paying your minimum repayment/not paying anything over credit limit back immediately, is a breach of contract. Therefore they should have sent me a default notice within 35 days of breach of contract.

Correct and all valid argument.....just have to convince the court now...should it proceed.

...This is actually the first time I've read default notices should be issued 35 days after payment was due/breach of contract.
a 'notice of default sums' under s86e, but not a s87 default notice.

doesn't matter if they did or not. they don't have to

simply have a comms record that one was sent.

 

BUT..its what the fleecers produces under CCA/CPR or as an exhibit in their WS that's more important
