    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.    
    • That's fine - I'm quite happy to attend court if necessary. The question was phrased in such a way that had I declined the 'consideration on the papers' option, I would have had to explain why I didn't think such consideration was appropriate, and since P2G appear to be relying on a single (arguably flawed) issue, I thought it might result in a speedier determination.
    • it was ordered in the retailers store  but your theory isnt relevant anyway, even if it fitted the case... the furniture is unfit for purpose within 30 days so consumer rights act overwrites any need to use 14 days contract law you refer too. dx

    • Frankly I think you should go to a hearing unless you feel especially nervous . If you have any worries then you should follow our link to find out about a county court familiarisation visit     You shouldn't forget that county Court judgements are very helpful but they are not binding. They are only persuasive.  It is difficult to see you losing but it might be better to be there in order to counter any arguments from the other side

    • 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 everyone,

 

I've filed my claim online with moneyclaim (I live in England) and T McL has written to me to say it's now being handled by their legal team (who have now acknowledged the claim).

 

I'm just thinking maybe I've done the wrong thing - I'm claiming a total of £2.1k including £500 odd interest (at 8%). Maybe I should have accepted their last offer of £1350 if they would have agreed to pay the £120 moneyclaim costs. I have rejected this offer but not sure whether it's too late to accept. I am feeling quite out of depth.

 

Any advice or comments would be most gratefully received - also does anyone know how long am I likely to have to wait for a court date?

 

Many thanks

Jo

I'm about 2 weeks behind you, we've just had our offer and the wife is having the same dreads as you are...

 

The prevailing advice seems to be, stand your guns, it's YOUR money, all they are doing now is keeping it warm for you.

It's really daunting when you think about it....little old you taking on a financial institution with inexhaustable amounts of cash! BUT and yes! that is a big but (no comment please:mad: ) NO ONE (in this country at least) is above the law! when they charged you disproportionate fees they were breaking the law and they know it! it's up to us to get the money they took from us back, it's up to us to stand up to them and hopefully make changes......it's really up to us!

 

You can do it!!!;)

Thanks for the kind words guys -they've done the job, I'm back on track and going nowhere til I get my money.

 

My friend is a lawyer, before she left work to have kids last year she'd never lost a case against Cobbetts... she's dying to dust off her old suit and get back into court to represent me so I'm kind of hoping it gets that far!!

 

Thanks

Hello all,

 

Got my Cobbetts defence pack this morning - all very exciting. Just a few questions:

1. Does anyone have a reply to CPR 18 request that I could adapt?

2. Some of the other threads refer to an allocation questionnaire which was in with the defence pack - I don't have this, only the defence and the CPR 18 request. What should I do?

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Jo x

Try either or both of these for some very interesting cpr18 stuff, including sending your own cpr18 request to Cobbetts which for some reason they seem quite scared of!

I have actually worked in banks for several years now - needless to say that I have the same problems with them with my account. Given the enormous amount of publicity surrounding bank-charge reclaims/ OFT/ FSA etc it'd be a really good idea to change your username and disclose as few details as possible as at some point i'm sure their enterprise risk departments will read all these threads..........
