    • Hi, I have an old outstanding debt from 1994 due to MBNA for £20,000. The debt has been passed to various DCAs and is currently with PRA Group.  I sent them a CCA letter in January 2024. They acknowledged this letter and stated they would come back when they had more information, however the information did not arrive within the 12 working day scenario.. I have just received a copy of the agreement which goes back to 1994 from them. In their response letter they have stated " Please find enclosed documentation received to date: we are waiting further documents in order to complete your request. We have currently deemed this debt as unenforceable which means we are not able to take court or further action against you to recover the outstanding balance". They then go on to state "we are still legally entitled to:  1.Contact you to ask and repay what you owe 2.Pass your details onto a third party collection agency 3. Continue to report your account with the credit reference bureaux (as appropriate)". I'm at a loss as to what I should do next and would appreciate any guidance on this matter. I am currently paying £5.00 pcm. TIA

    • My understanding is that they won't provide the name to me whether the investigation is Live or Closed, & I have no legal rep as I didn't have P.I. Cover on my policy, & am intending to claim using OIC.org.uk, but remain completely stuck as they 100% cannot open a claim on the portal without both the Reg. No. & Name of the other driver.  
    • thanks again ftmdave, your words are verey encouraging and i do appreciate them. i have taken about 2 hours to think of a letter to write to the ceo...i will paste it below...also how would i address a ceo? do i just put his name? or put dear sir? do you think its ok?  i would appreciate feedback/input from anybody if anything needs to be added/taken away, removed if incorrect etc. i am writing it on behalf of my friend..she is the named driver  - im the one with the blue badge and owner of the car - just for clarification. thanks in adavance to everyone.       My friend and I are both disabled and have been a victim of disability discrimination on the part of your agents.   I have been incorrectly 'charged' by your agent 'excel parking' for overstaying in your car park, but there was no overstay. The letter I recieved said the duration of stay was 15 minutes but there is a 10 minute grace period and also 5 minutes consideration time, hence there was no duration of stay of 15 minutes.   I would like to take this oppertunity to clarify what happend at your Gravesend store. We are struggling finacially due to the 'cost of living crisis' and not being able to work because we are both disabled, we was attracted to your store for the 10 items for £10 offer. I suffer dyslexia and depression and my friend who I take shopping has a mobility disability. We went to buy some shopping at your Gravesend branch of Iceland on 28th of December 2023, we entered your car park, tried to read and understand the parking signs and realised we had to pay for parking. We then realised we didnt have any change for the parking machine so went back to look for coins in the car and when we couldnt find any we left. As my friend has mobility issues it takes some time for me to help him out of the car, as you probably understand this takes more time than it would a normal able bodied person. As I suffer dyslexia I am sure you'll agree that it took me more time than a normal person to read and understand the large amount of information at the pay & display machine. After this, it took more time than an able bodied person to leave the car park especially as I have to help my friend on his crutches etc get back into the car due to his mobility disability. All this took us 15 minutes.   I was the driver of my friends car and he has a blue badge. He then received a 'notice to keeper' for a 'failure to purchase a parking tariff'. On the letter it asked to name the driver if you wasnt the driver at the time, so as he wasnt the driver he named me. I appealed the charge and told them we are disabled and explained the situation as above. The appeal was denied, and even more so was totally ignored regarding our disabilities and that we take longer than an able bodied person to access the car and read the signs and understand them. As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us. I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge.     After being discriminated by your agent my friend decided to contact 'iceland customer care team' on my behalf and again explained the situation and also sent photos of his disabled blue badge and proof of disability. He asked the care team to cancel the charge as ultimately its Iceland's land/property and you have the power over excel parking to cancel it. Again we was met with no mention or consideration for our disability and no direct response regarding the cancellation, all we was told was to contact excel parking. He has replied over 20 times to try to get the 'care team' to understand and cancel this but its pointless as we are just ignored every time. I believe that Ignoring our disability is discrimination which is why I am now contacting you.     I have noticed on your website that you are 'acting' to ease the 'cost of living crisis' : https://about.iceland.co.uk/2022/04/05/iceland-acts-to-ease-the-cost-of-living-crisis/   If you really are commited to helping people in this time of crisis ..and especially two struggling disabled people, can you please cancel this charge as it will only cause more damage to our mental health if you do 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.

Hi

Friend is concerned that the Court has not served a "notice of provisional allocation to track".

He seems to think this is needed to tell him which directions questionnaire to fill in. The Directions Questionnaire requires him to contact the claimant to discuss the information he would provide before returning it to the court.

The form must be returned to the court by the date given, or the court may impose a penalty.

 

MCOL confirms 17-08 as reception of the defence - nothing has been received from court since.

Should he contact the court to inform them of the situation and request confirmation when the form was or will be sent?

 

OR - will the court do nothing because Arrow cannot continue with collection - or the claim -

until they have provided the docs requested under cpr and cca???? Is this why friend hasn't received directions form yet?

hi

Can I please ask exactly when SB comes into 'play' ?

 

Is it the date when the credit card company terminates the account?

Or when the date when the card holder last made a payment?

 

Friend has received a letter from Sols to say that they don't consider the account SB.

 

Friend last made payment 6y and 4m ago.

No letters/no contact at all since that point.

 

Yet Sols say that the account was terminated 6 months after last payment.

They say it is this date that they look at and this date is within 6 years (a few months to go).

 

They further state that

'an action founded on simple contract shall not be brought after the expiration of 6 years from the date on which the cause of action accrued'.

 

 

They then quote a date of 'cause of action accrued' as being 6 months after friends last payment and the date the company (m&s) terminated the account.

 

They then proceed to state that they do not consider friend has any prospect of successfully defending the claim.

 

So what is friend's position?

 

And how can sols write this to friend when the Claimant has written saying that all collection activity will cease until they have found all the docs requested under cca??

 

Please note that shoos have not responded to the cpr 31.14 request yet.

 

Should friend point out that in their consumer creditlink3.gif sourcebook, the Financial Conduct Authority states the following rules:

 

"A firm must not continue to demand payment from a customer after the customer has stated that he will not be paying the debt because it is statute barred." 7.15.8

AND

The last payment or acknowledgement of this debt was made over six years ago and no further acknowledgement or payment has been made since that time.

AND

Unless they can provide evidence of payment or written contact from friend in the relevant period under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, friend should suggest that Claimant is no longer able to take any court action against friend to recover the alleged amount claimed.

It runs from the cause of action......which is the first missed contractual payment...not from the termination date and not from when the creditor decides to issue a default notice.

We could do with some help from you.

It's the Sols - shoos - that have sent the letter, not arrow.

 

Arrow wrote to say collection would stop until they'd provided the docs under cca request.

 

Shoos have said 'in the interests of cost's friend should put a reasonable offer of repayment to their client (Arrow) at this point. They've given 2w to reply with I&E form and repayment proposals.

 

So - from what you both - dx and Andy - say, friend just ignores this letter?

Can I please ask what happens to the case now?

 

Shoos failed to respond to the cpr 31.14;

Arrows failed to send anything - yet -re the cca request.

 

 

Friends defence was filed and I understand the date has passed which means the case is stayed.

But what exactly does this mean?

 

Does it mean that effectively nothing happens with the Claim?

That the court throws it out?

 

 

Or can Arrow or Shoos revive the Claim

- for a fee - in the future?

Arrow have written to friend.

They just remind him that they have not yet got the required docs from M&S. And will send docs as soon as got them....

Surely Arrow must have been told by Shoos that friend has said it is SB?

Should friend gently remind Arrow? Or just ignore...?

Shoos has written

- reminding friend that friend hasn't replied to their last letter

- in which they asked for I&E form and 'in interest of costs' for a reasonable offer of repayment.

They are disappointed friend has not replied.

 

How does this work

- Arrow wrote saying account/debt collection on hold until they get docs from M&S

- so why are Shoos reminding friend to send in I&E and to make reasonable offer??

Isn't there a template letter to be sent telling Shoos to stop harassing friend?

Or - again- friend should just ignore Shoos?

 

 

Also, Shoos seem to not be sure of friend's name!

They keep asking friend to confirm correct spelling.

They spelt it wrong on their claim

(which pretty much confirms they and Arrow don't have the original docs).

 

Friend spelt it correctly in Defence (obviously).

Shoos are now questioning it.
