    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Action fraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank you

    • 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,

 

I am new to this forum so please forgive any mistakes.

 

I am having an awful experience with the above companies.

It all started with a service charge debt.. not very old..was due in December 2017 in advance for months Jan/Feb/March/April.

Hands up.. I can never afford to pay in advance but have always paid by the end quarter month.

 

In April 2018 received a letter from Property Debt Collection for the service charge (which obviously had no quibble with) but they had added excessive fees.

£250 for the Managing Agent to instruct them and £350.00 for their initial letter to me (which contained land registry entries which imo a bit premature at this stage).

 

I offered to pay the Managing agents the service charge and they flatly refused to deal with me saying I could now only deal with Property Debt Collection.

I tried to pay Property Debt Collection the service charge debt, plus £250 for the Managing agents fee (ok.. it was late so that's my fine), but only a reasonable fee for their letter of initially £10 which I increased to £50.00.

They flatly refused this saying they do not take part payments.

I offered them this on more than one occasion and also went back to the managing agents... no joy

 

To cut a very long story a bit shorter, it was passed to PDC Law (obviously related) who have taken me to the County Count Money Claims.

It has gone through the process and it seems that the Judge has entered that I pay them £833.20.

This is a lot more than I expected to pay as I sent the court a part admission and defence and acknowledgement of service etc within the timescales.

 

I also sent him all evidence of me trying to pay and the various parties refusing payment.

So today at the last final hour I gave in and as the Judge instructed rang PDC to pay them the money of £833.20 as on the Judgement for Claiment .

I was in total shock when they refused to take this payment from me.

 

They said they had issued a Section 146 Notice, on the 5th October, which I have not received (I run a business from home and every piece of post is logged in), they also said they had sent one to the Building Society.

I said sobeit but this is what the Judge has ordered.

 

I literally begged them to take the money as I said it was the last day for payment and the CCJ could then not be lifted in the usual way apparently.

It appeared they were blackmailing with this as they said it would be if I paid them a sum of £2308.15 !!

I have informed the Court about their refusal who said this was unusual and asked me to send this in to them in writing.

 

I so worried about this.

.. I have been dealing with this for my son and it appears that I have go him into a whole lot of trouble.

Can any help please??

re titled and moved to general legals.

 

you should never part admit a claim

and if you defend a case you must always attend the hearing.

 

you need to go thru his tenancy agreement with a fine toothed comb

if it says something about post judgemental fees/cost are applicable then I think you are stuffed.

Good evening.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I was never invited to a hearing it just went in front of the judge, who ordered me to pay the said amount which I have tried to do.

 

I have never had an issue with paying the service charge just the unfair charges of PDC.

 

The original Managing Agent who instructed PDC have now been sacked for issues that could not be resolved.

 

I have no argument at all with the Claimant who have now instructed new Managing Agents whom I have a good relationship with.

 

If the Property Management Debt company had accepted my offer of payment in the beginning the Claimant would have their money in full, and surely this is the objective of a Debt Collector to collect the debt, and charge "a reasonable amount for sending out one letter".

 

I will look at the Lease, but surely somewhere there is a limit on what a company can charge for an initial letter, and also is it not their duty to take reasonable steps to recover the debt for their client by accepting payment from me?.

 

sorry I am having trouble finding my way around the site

even if you part admitted but also sent a defence you would have been sent a court date as far as I know?

 

anyway...

sadly if its in the tenancy agreement then sadly PDC can add their charges and there are numerous PDC threads in this forum that appear to suggest that they are lawful and they can.

Hi Thanks again.

 

 

I am still confused, I was not sent a court date at any time, it just went in front of the judge.

The Court is in Salford and I live far away from there.

 

So does PDC not have to accept the Courts Judgement but I do?

I filled in all the forms and sent them back to the court within the time period which they acknowledged.

I also defended each part of the Particulars of Claim with an exhibit of evidence of trying to pay and their refusal.

Of course I agree that PDC can add charges but surely they have to be reasonable?

Thank you

then i'm puzzled as to why you never got an N180 etc to transfer this to your local court and for it to be heard by the judge.

was the claimform served to the correct address?

Hi thanks again for your help.

The Claim form was sent to my son's address but we have his post redirected by Royal Mail to us.

After filling in the forms etc and returning them ( I have electronic receipts for them) it seemed to take along time.

 

In the meantime PDC were emailing me to say they have not received anything from the Court etc, I assured them that I had replied to the Court.

I rang the Court when I at last received the Judgement for Claimant (in default) and asked them how it had come to this without any explanation.

 

The judgement says I had not replied to the Claim form, but when I spoke with the Court they say I clearly had!!

They do seem a bit confused.

 

Today I received an email from them after calling them and writing in again saying "upon checking our case management system it appears the Claimant rejected your part admission offer and this was then referred to a Deputy District Judge for directions.

The DDJ them ordered that Judgment be entered as requested by the Claimant.

 

The judgement for claimant says I must pay the claimant the total of £833.20 by today.

PDC Law refused this payment from me today saying it had gone up to £2k plus.

I informed the Court of this and they were shocked that PDC had refused it.

 

 

Thank you

You only pay £833.20 as per the judgment....as they have refused payment inform the court and instruct the court that the CCJ must not be registered because the Judgment Claimant is refusing to accept and trying to get you to pay more...which is not part of the judgment.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you so much on your clarification of this.

This is exactly what I thought.

 

I have informed the court yesterday, and although everyone there is very helpful things are very slow, and you never speak to the same person twice.

 

I will be calling them again this morning and I will post the outcome on here, so it may help others in my situation.

 

The debt is his and I am dealing with it for him.

My son does not live at the property so we have his post redirected to here through the Royal Mail re-direction service

Yes I agree with you it does not seem right.

HI

 

This is still on going,

the court have reiterated that the judgement is correct and that they should accept the payment.

They wont and have now written to my building society.

 

Well they have not they have instructed an Indemnity Legal co to do it.

 

Now it looks like this Management Co instructed debt collectors, debt collectors passed on to their legal department now passed on to a company I have never even heard of!

 

Also I might add the original management company who instructed the debt collectors have been sacked by the Claimant.

 

I am so confused by this and cannot find any advice anywhere, I seem to be going around in circles.

 

Still do not understand why a judgement in default was sent out when I filed a part admission, acknowledgement of service and a defence all within the time frame.

 

Has any one on here had dealings with a First Tier Tribunal as I might go down that route.

In the meantime this is holding up the sale of my property!!

 

Any advice gratefully received

sorry I am not being very clear, its holding up the sale of my son's property.

 

Does any one know that if he lands up paying these people their excessive charges can he go through the process of First Tier Tribunal to ask them if they find the costs reasonable?

Thank you for your replies. I do agree, it seems that something has gone wrong here.

Its holding up the sale of the property as the Claimant has issued a Section 146 on the Building Society (never received by us),

 

I have sent all explanations to the building society and supporting documentation that I tried to pay the Judgment but it was not accepted.

The Claimant (Landlord) to be honest know nothing of this as they are no longer represented by the Managing agent who instructed the Debt Collection Agency.

 

The original debt is less than £400, just a four months service charge.

The Notice with the Building Society is for £2300.00 so that's £1900 of costs all because I disputed the amount of their initial letter fee.

 

If the Court has handed my case wrong, will I have any comeback on this?

Also what chances do I have if I pay up just to get completion of the flat sale, of winning back some money from the Debt Collectors and their so called lawyers.

 

Ive heard something about a First Tier Tribunal?

I did ask the Court not to register the CCJ.... they said it was between me and the claimant and up to me to sort it out with them.

They would not accept payment of the judgment so I could not.

 

You would think that if a Court has ordered something they would back you up on carrying out their instructions or what is the point of the whole damn process!!

" Still do not understand why a judgement in default was sent out when I filed a part admission, acknowledgement of service and a defence all within the time frame. "

 

Any admittance automatically guarantees judgment and its registration ...you dont have a default judgment....always defend all the claim and then you can thrash out any disputes during the process...which you are afforded because you defended all.

No its not correct....a part admittance can not be a default judgment...a default judgment is when you fail to respond to the claim.

 

It should be a Notice of judgment for the partial admittance.

 

All explained din the CPR link I posted previously.

Ok thank you I did read those notes and I have done previously as well because I found them independently but could not understand them.

 

Do I have a leg to stand on in complaining to the Court then.

I may have to just pay the whole sum requested by the Claimant though and hope to get some of it back through other means, or the sale may fall through.

 

They have me up against a wall really, and they knew this all along, but I am not one to give in without a fight even though its cost me in the end.

I do really appreciate your help, not been able to get advice anywhere on this.

 

Just to clarify...

when you say failed to respond to the claim...

do you mean when you received the papers from the court...

that's when I filed a defence part admission and acknowledgement of service all within the time limits ?

 

I did not fill in the Claimants initial form's as I was not disputing the debt only their costs.

Thank you

Whether its a default judgment or not its irrelevant to your problem....the fact is you have a CCJ...which as stated is because you part admitted...always defend all then argue the ins and outs later.

I think the confusion happened when you were talking here as a third party and then as your son.

 

if you part admitted the CCJ on behalf of your son, there was never anything you could have done.
