    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) 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. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.. First post on here so please just let me know if I do anything wrong.

 

I've been reading through all the letters people have sent to Harlands etc but not sure they're specific to my situation.

 

I was going through a tough time financially and cancelled the Harlands direct debit without letting them know first which I acknowledge was a massive mistake and has caused some issues.

 

After the fine raising in price to something daft like 60 quid, I sent them this that I'd found on here -

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I refer to my membership at Xercise 4 Less gym in Kirkstall which was a month to month agreement. I cancelled my direct debit mandate in June but realise now that I should have given 30 days’ notice to cancel.

 

Cancellation of the DD mandate was adequate notice of my wish to cancel. So I now offer to pay £11.99 for the notice period.

 

I will not pay you any administration or cancellation fees. If you confirm in writing that you will accept the amount of £19.99 in full settlement of all that I owe, I will pay you promptly.

 

If you fail to accept my offer within 14 days or you demand any higher amount, I will pay you nothing and my offer will be withdrawn.

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

Jack

Subject: Important information regarding your membership payments to Xercise 4 Less

 

Dear Mr ***,

 

Please find attached a letter regarding your direct debit instruction, reference number for .... Xercise 4 Less.

 

If you have any questions, please call the Harlands customer service team as per the attached letter, quoting reference number

 

Yours sincerely,

Harlands Customer Service Team

 

I didn't hear anything back from that and they've carried on sending me texts / letters from Harlands to my old address.

 

Today Credit Resolution Services text saying "You have been sent an email from CRS regarding your account. Please check your inbox... etc."

 

I now receive a letter from them stating that I owe £140 pounds (Original £80, plus CRS £60 in admin fees).

 

Re: CRS Ref No: ****

Xercise4Less Leeds Ref. No: *****

We've been employed by Xercise4Less Leeds as your membership remains in arrears.

As a result of this, our fees totalling £ 66.50 have been added. Therefore, your account balance now stands

at £ 140.48.

 

WE WANT TO REACH AN AMICABLE RESOLUTION WITH YOU!

 

In order that we can do this, please ring our non-premium rate number - 01444 449165.

 

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?

 

1. You want to continue your membership - The club want nothing more than for you to get the full benefits

of your membership. You simply need to pay your arrears and either set up a new Direct debit with us

for your remaining months or rejoin Xercise4Less Leeds if your membership has expired.

You may also be entitled to a discount if you are able to settle your account balance in one payment.

2. You believe you've cancelled your membership - We understand the numerous reasons why people

stop going. We'll listen to your reasons and do everything we can to resolve your account in line with the

terms of your membership.

3. You're experiencing financial difficulties - We know times can be tough and therefore have a variety of

possible solutions to assist you, including monthly payment plans that you can afford and

recommending independent organisations that may be able to assist you in severe circumstances.

 

 

We'll cease further letters for 7 days, so please call us on 01444 449165 before then.

 

Yours sincerely

For Credit Resolution Services

Nuria Manson

Collections Department

 

Has anyone got any advice on what to reply with considering I've already sent an email saying I'll settle for £25? My monthly membership was only £9.99 and I didn't think I would have to pay any further for a service that I would not be using if I just cancelled the direct debit.

 

Thanks for reading!

I sent them this just now -

 

"

I refer you to my original email, dated 26/07/2018.

 

I left the gym due to personal circumstances in June 2018.

I informed the gym of my circumstances and they told me to contact you.

 

However, I have no obligation to contact Harlands, having told the gym of my need to cancel.

I have done everything correctly as told by your staff, and have tried to contact Xcercise4Less via phone to no avail.

Again, please see my original email to yourself."

Hi Jack and welcome to CAG

 

The email in post #3 above makes little sense if it was sent to CRS.

 

But DX is right - ignore Harlands/CRS for now and send no more emails.

  • 1 month later...

So... Like a lot of people on here I messed up and cancelled my direct debit without letting them know. But you know what? They're a gym, THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH POWER OVER PEOPLE.

 

I've tried a few of the template letters on here and blocked their numbers but they still keep leaving me voicemails trying to get me to ring them. I've even emailed the manager at my xercise4less an email stating that I'm being harassed by them.

 

Today they even left a voicemail but pretended the signal BROKE when saying their company name to try and entice me into ringing.

 

They've not sent me any letters yet but keep sending emails and I really can't be bothered with it anymore. They don't even say how much I owe them anymore as I think they just want contact so they can hit me with it then.

 

Anyway, anything that I can do to stop this in terms of it starting to become harassment?

 

Thanks

 

Jack

block their email address and bounce then back too.

 

keep a log of everything

 

you could try embarrassment on social media on the gyms facebook and twitter feed accounts.

 

last resort is a court case which I think we've seen win here before

 

how long has this been going on>

Jump onto social media and embarrass the gym on there.

 

 

 

Also lodge a formal complaint with the gym and ensure they're fully aware that they are ultimately responsible for the criminal offence of harassment that their chosen third is committing, and should you choose to bring any legal action against Harlands then the gym will answer to the judge also.

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!

Hi Jack,

 

You need to understand - the gym " ........ has no power over you at all" !!

 

This has very little to do with the gym. Harlands/CRS make vastly more money from you in admin fees than they do in taking a small percentage of monthly gym fees that they collect by DD.

 

Continue to ignore Harlands/CRS and all contact methods they try.

 

If you want to put an end to the harassment, a Small Claims court action would be the best course of action. If you want to do this, let us know.

They've been doing this with me too but their area code number usually starts with 01444 so I know it's them
