    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.
    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

Hello All,

 

I have received a letter telling me an old HSBC Credit Card was sold to Cabot Financial today and that they would be in touch shortly.

The account is not statue barred.

 

Whilst I am happy to enter into a repayment plan,

I want to make sure that they have all their ducks lined up and have all the correct paperwork.

 

I originally had a dispute with HSBC after they blocked the card on Christmas Eve and that very nearly left me stranded Birmingham Airport over the Christmas Period.

 

At the time there were plenty of funds available on the card and it was the only card I had on my person at the time.

 

Long story short

I phoned them on the day asking why the card was not working and noone could explain it to me either.

I was promised several callbacks which they never made and a resolution the same day which also did not materialise.

 

As I couldn't buy the train ticket I needed,

I had to take several buses to my Christmas destination which in all took over 10 hours to complete a 60 mile journey.......... :mad2:

As I hold an ENCTS pass this journey cost me nothing but did cause considerable inconvenience at the time.

 

I made a complaint at the time and whilst they acknowledged the complaint,

they did not respond and when it came to them wanting something (i.e. to pay the bill) I refused until the complaint was resolved to my satisfaction.

 

Apparently they had nothing on file and still did not know the reason for the failure of the card.

This contradicted what I was told on the day of the failure which was

"A Back office team is working hard on this as we speak and it will be resolved shortly"

which now appears to be from my perspective a complete lie.

 

Fast forward to the issue at hand now,

I received a letter that the account has been sold to Cabot Financial and that I will begin a game of letter tennis within the coming days.

 

How is it best to proceed from here.

I don't particularly want to furnish Crapbot with too much information.

But I'm happy to do my homework and see what happens.

 

Debt is for a Credit Card approx £1,800

I don't doubt for a second that Crapbot will take legal action eventually

but I'd rather give them notice as it were that I know how to handle this matter.

 

I'm thinking just a bog standard CCA Request uncrossed postal order and see what they come back with?

Perhaps a SAR to HSBC as well?

This is how I spend most of my life :ranger:

CCA them. cabot dont chase enforceable debts. If a CCA comes back that complies with things, then you cna research other avenues.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Yeah I thought that would be the case, I've read through several threads and the consensus is Cabot deal with Lemon Debts so then picking it up is not necessarily a bad thing.

 

Ok CCA in the post tomorrow and see what they come back with. I know they'll be some penalty charges on there too from around 2013 so thats another avenue to explore if they come back with anything.

 

Thanks :)

sar HSBC too

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

HSBC SAR'd and CCA Request sent to Cabot. Both have been received by the retrospective parties.

 

Had a response from Cabot today saying they can't provide the CCA in the required 12 days but expect to have it within 40. They go on to write "In the unlikely event we cannot source the documents we will write to you again"

 

Happy to post the letter up but seems like a very generic response that most people get (from reading other threads) when sending CCA requests to Cabot.

This is how I spend most of my life :ranger:

Cabot know they only have 12+2 not 40. theyre very unlikely to get a compliant agreement, and if they do, then something else is fishy with the debt.

No response from Crapbot to date. However HSBC have sent me their SAR bundle.

 

I've had a skim read through and there is no copy of the CCA, even a reconstructed one from the time of inception. I'll take a more detailed look when I get home and can examine the documents more thoroughly.

Cabot have replied saying they could not locate the CCA and thus the account is unenforceable in court. They have naturally invited me to setup a payment arrangement as I am still obliged to repay them...

 

They stated they would keep trying to locate the documents and did not return the £1 PO. Is it worth writing to them again asking them to return the fee as they cannot comply with the CCA request? Or should I just completely ignore this until their next move?

This is how I spend most of my life :ranger:

return the fee, come could on write cost you a £1.00. to do so, ha ha look they are having a problem then that is their problem - long may it be the same !do nothing

 

 

do not try to be clever as that may invite them to be more aggressive

I thought that would be the advice given and it's good advice. So I will do nothing until they try something.

 

I had an off day and felt like rubbing salt into the wounds for failure to comply with CCA. But in hindsight that will only bite me in the long run, so just going to see what happens.

 

Interestingly they stopped phoning me the moment they got my CCA request so I think they know I've found CAG :madgrin:
