    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .

    • 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.

The DIFC Courts

 

A defendant who makes an admission under Rules 15.14, 15.18 or 15.24 can make a request for time to pay (Rule 15.33), which must be served or filed with his admission (Rule 15.35). The defendant should complete the statement of means contained in the admission form or otherwise give details of his means in writing (Rule 15.36).

 

 

The contents of the defence

The defendant must give an address for service if he has not filed an acknowledgement of service under Part 11 (Rule 17.23). Where the defendant is an individual and the claim form does not contain an address for the defendant or contains an incorrect address, the defendant must provide his address in the defence (Rule 17.24).
In the defence, the defendant must state:
  • Which of the allegations in the particulars of claim he denies.
  • Which allegations he is unable to admit or deny but which he requires the claimant to prove.
  • Which allegations he admits (Rule 17.26).
Where the defendant denies an allegation:
  • He must state his reasons for doing so.
     
    • If he intends to put forward a different version of events from that given by the claimant, he must state his own version (Rule 17.27).
    A defendant who fails to deal with an allegation but sets out in his defence the nature of his case in relation to the issue to which the allegation is relevant is taken to require that allegation to be proved (Rule 17.28).
    Where a claim includes a money claim, unless the defendant expressly admits the allegation, the allegation relating to the amount of money needs to be proved (Rule 17.29).
     
    Subject to Rules 17.28 and 17.29, a defendant who fails to deal with an allegation is taken to admit that allegation (Rule 17.30).
    If the defendant is defending in a representative capacity, he must state what that capacity is (Rule 17.31).
    The defendant must give details of the expiry of any relevant limitation period relied on (Rule 17.32).
     
    Where a defendant contends that he is entitled to money from the claimant and relies on this as a defence to the whole or part of the claim, the contention may be included in the defence and set off against the claim, whether or not it is also a counterclaim (Rule 17.33).

They both hear debt cases depending upon the amount I believe- but not an expert so will use reference to both until I find out different 

 

just reading loads at the minute 

 

Also extremely conscious that this is monitored

Can I just add to this as it is my thread. I know I'm only new here but I've had experience with CWD and they are not debt collectors ..well they are but also solicitors..not like the ones that you can deal with everyday from lowell and such like who can't charge exhorbanant fees so they can make loads of money out of our misery.

 

I'm not blaming anyone on cag for what's happening to me right now..you gave the advice you thought was right at the time because no one ever came back with something different but now we know what CWD are capable of please can we warn people that they can and will take you to court and if you can't afford good legal help it's going to cost you a lot.

 

I'm neither a patsy or a CWD spy..just want to warn people in advance.

 

All this arguing is what they want ..to shut the advice down..why do you think they want to charge us for them looking at cag..so they can start these arguments and then no one comes here for advice.

For years variou s people groups solicitors trolls call them what you want have threatened all manner against me pers..none have ever got close

you fight is not over

you suffered judge lottery for want of a different word

sadly we see this in every type of claim here and sadly there is noway to protect or fight, at the time against it.

Have the debts met all required legal standards in the UAE, including registering them as required with UAE authorities ?  Have CWD provided proof, by supplying all documents in English ?

 

UAE might have different standards/ways they deal with such financial debts and therefore if jurisdiction has been accepted by a UK Court, the next issue is whether the UAE Bank/Creditor have met UAE standards. It then becomes difficult to argue, unless it is possible to spot issues to raise.  And this is where it might be helpful to find out what documents need to be requested from CWD.  It won't just be the credit agreement, but other documents required under UAE system to register the debt.

No advice to offer at the moment you said you had 21 days to prepare a defence.....have you made a start as requested last week in preparing points that can be used in your defence...what about the initial debt ....any disputes...reasons for leaving it behind etc etc.

With respect 

 

The advice I was given was tick box out of jurisdiction.

 

I also ticked box for this application to be heard without a hearing on advice but now I'm being informed by arguments on here that this is purely a prerequisite for a hearing...I was told I didn't need to submit a witness statement or need any of a form of defence? ? 

 

I was informed  that  i wouldn't need to speak in court as it would be argued out but it wasn't.  The judge was fully prepared to accept jurisdiction on evidence given by the Barrister .

 

I was was then asked for my defence of which I had none because I was advised I didn't need any which was very embarrassing. 

 

I would  just like to add until cag have done their homework not to advise on foreign debts.

And I stand by all that advice as that is the correct procedure to contest the courts jurisdiction to hear and deal with the claim.You had to have a hearing because the claimants challenged your application.....that has never happened before on this forum... normally would not require a hearing....they simply drop the claim.

 

You do not submit evidence or a defence in an application to contest the courts jurisdiction as by doing so you are submitting to the courts jurisdiction and accepting that the court does have jurisdiction.That is why the court has now ordered you submit a defence because the question of Jurisdiction has been accepted by the court.It does not mean that you have submitted to the courts jurisdiction.

 

See CPR 11.

(9) If a defendant makes an application under this rule, he must file and serve his written evidence in support with the application notice, but he need not before the hearing of the application file –

 

https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part11

 

I did advise you to raise points such as had the claimant requested permission to serve out of jurisdiction. The English Court should not exercise its jurisdiction if there is a more appropriate forum (known as the doctrine of "forum non conveniens") and Another gateway is where the dispute relates to a contract which is governed by English law or contains a term conferring jurisdiction on the English Courts to determine any claim in respect of the contract.

 

Did the agreement refer to Exclusive or None exclusive jurisdiction clauses limit disputes to the courts of one jurisdiction.

 

It is noted that yours refers at 11.13

 

" These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the UAE.You and we submit to the none exclusive jurisdiction of the civil courts of the UAE.Such submission shall not restrict our rights to bring in any other jurisdiction.
