    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs
    • Nice to hear a positive story about a company on this form for a change. Thank you
    • too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted - One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules   - seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

    • 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 all, both myself and OH have got ourselves in debt and are receiving threatograms from various DCA's.

 

We could borrow from a relative and pay these off but would rather not pay a DCA.

 

Could someone be kind enough to check this CCA doc my hubby received from Moorcraft?

 

It's a Halifax Loan which was taken over by Moorcraft.

 

He has tried contacting Halifax but they have told him to deal directly with these people.

 

Moorcraft has placed his account on hold for 14 days.

 

Any advice would be very welcome.

 

Thanks as always

Unfortunately, since 2007 they have tightened up the rules in regards to CCAs and if it has explicit details like who the agreement was made between such as your name(s) addresses, interest rates, repayment amount, installments, etc. on the first page is usually legitimate.

 

If you have defaulted they (Halifax) would have needed to send a notice of default as this is the first stage of passing off any debt to an external DCA.

Once they pass it to a DCA, unfortunately, you cannot resolve the problem with the original creditor by paying them (Halifax) directly.

 

However, if Halifax had passed this to Moorcroft you should have received a Notice of Assignment which I am 110% sure they must do if they 'sell' the debt.

If only management of the debt is the case I am not so sure.

 

There is no panic though because they CANNOT bankrupt you if the debt commitment is less than around £5000 because this changed sometime ago.

They could take you to court and you would end up with a CCJ but this is a pain for them because courts remove ANY control they have over the debt i.e. they can't harass you or demand more payments, etc. and they tend to resort to this more for things not covered by the Consumer Credit Acts.

 

You could ask Moorcroft for both a copy of the Notice of Assignment and a copy of the CCA (you can get a formal request letter template off this site I believe) which really proves awkward to a lot of DCAs because they are required to get it with 18 days and then they are legally bound by rules governing this (you will have to look them up as I can't remember them all). You must enclose a payment of £1 with the request (Postal Order, Cheque, etc.) which they can ONLY use for that request.

 

Mostly, if you have to pay amounts don't offer them more than you can spare/afford taking into account circumstances may change. Most will not typically take less than £5 pcm so you start with this and negotiate. Most DCAs take these 'token' payments and then can't really do anything if you continue to pay regularly.

 

I don't know if this helps but I have infinitely more debt than yourselves and luckily most predate the 2007 changes so are harder for DCAs to enforce and I have been paying small payments for years and increasing them when I could but I also got close to being taken to court and managed to force the DCA to back down so I have learned a lot from this.

 

The main thing is to not panic and, yes, there is always worry but the DCA who tried to take me to court was hit with a HUGE fine for their practices so DCAs have been just using fear tactics with more subtletly.

 

Don't answer phone calls (bar them if you can) and force them to write as I had phone conversations where they conveniently forget agreements (even if they say they are recorded).

 

Don't know if this helps but good luck.

Hi there, many thanks for your replies, much appreciated!

dx100uk - loan was taken out Sept 2015 - last payment made 14th Dec 2016. Halifax original creditor - think Moorcroft might only be chasing on behalf of them.

kekeeler - No Notice of Assignment, also Moorcroft not showing on Credit File.

Should we SAR Halifax? They have refused to talk to us and keep directing us to Moorcroft. Not sure what to do next?

Thanks again guys x

d'oh! I've only gone and drafted up some SAR letters, and bought £10 postal orders to use with these and then realised there's a new SAR you can use from Friday under new guidelines and you don't need to pay the tenner!

Sometime I wonder at myself

All you need to get is the banks account number and sort code, then you set up a standing order at your bank with those details to pay whatever you can afford.

 

 

STOP talking to shallowfax over the phone, the clowns they employ to sit on them have only just progressed from flipping burgers.

 

 

Keep everything in writing, and ignore moorcr@p.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!
