    • Hello, Following the submission of my defense, last night I received an email from DCBL indicating that the claimant intends to proceed with the claim (I've attached a screenshot of the email for reference) along with the N180 directions questionnaire. I'm unsure how they obtained my email, but I suspect it was through the courts' form when I completed the Acknowledgment of Service. This email almost slipped my attention. I have also today received a letter from court to state they have received my defense.  It appears they are requesting an online telephone hearing with the court. Could you please advise me on the necessary steps I should take at this point? Thank you for your assistance. Letter-Email 25-04-24.pdf N180 - Directions questionnaire (Small Claims Track).pdf
    • Default Amount £9237.88, all this started in 2006 Admitted debt £9075.65 Weightmans added £1515.01 immediately they became involved, no explanation The Statement shows when Marlin bought debt in May 2011 £10439.25 Their statements, not received until the SAR, are based on this. Cabot deducted £1515.01on their statements in January 2019, again did not find this out until SAR. Weightmans added in  2007 after the CH1 etc was confirmed by the court £741.50, made up of Process server fees, Court Fee (they tried for bankruptcy), Solicitors fee and Land Registry fee. Unspecfied Legal costs were added by Marlin in March 2015, again I did not know this until statements received with SAR I had been paying monthly, without exception until December 2018. I am minded to take the property charge, CH1 amount ,deduct all my payments and the subsequent fees, and request/demand a refund on the final payment made? I consistently disputed Weightmans balances, but they never responded. I also told Mortimer Clarke/Cabot that I disputed their amounts.  
    • Just follow this link and have read of some threads so your familiar with the process https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/347310-legal-n180-directions-questionnaire-small-claims-track/#comment-5178739
    • Sorry,  I'm not familiar with terminology.  Direction questionnaire is what I've seen online as next step. Witness statement: I haven't gone that far, that's why I put the question marks.

    • 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, shame we cant see the agreement. What you are looking for is anything that mentions post termination interest, or "until the total sum is paid", plus prime terms and finantia details APR etc.of course.

 

You can ignore pre contractual info.

LOL caught me out, I didn't read the whole thread.

Any post termination interest, that is demanded after a default is sent, must be mentioned in the loan T and Cs and on the default note, otherwise all they can charge is 8% simple interest on the debt.

 

I will read the whole thread, we really need to see the CCA and a n87 default otice, if issued. A time frame for each debt would be good also.

.I ignored the one letter from Arrow...

and also cancelled the nominal payment to Vanquis,

nothing heard of until yesterday ,

I understand under GDPR rules, all parties need your consent to release data, ie Vanquis to Arrows, Arrows to NCO Europe...

.I did notice they were CCA taken out 2nd of july 2014

 

I have never acknowledged them with Lowells  who purchased them from OC,

my last correspondence with OC was 3 years ago ,

would these now go under the six year drop off or does that start from the last contact with oc 3 years ago

Statute barred 6 years after last payment. So 2023! Although it drops off your credit file on the 6th anniversary of its default, invisible to lenders for ever.

 

Do they have your current address. Have you Have you sent off a CCA request?

Ok, I understand. Personally I’ve never paid anything even when they have come up with the CCA.

 

The reason for this is that Lowell’s MO is to Attack people who have not given them updated address details. This is so that they can send a claim form to the old address and gain an undefended CCJ by default. Often the first thing you know is getting turned down for credit. That’s easy money for them. 90% don’t defend.

 

If they have your current address they know that There is a chance you will defend, and win because they only buy debts with something wrong with them. Therefore the chances are 90% there will be no further action ever and it will go statute barred. Problem is , if you start paying them the debt will never go Barred.

Hi

I have received a  letter of claim/ Before court action from overdales solicitors ( Lowell ) regarding a very account which I took out over six years ago, asking for my outgoings/ request to set up a payment plan

I had defaulted , It was passed to Lowell , I came here , did the usual , gathered info , requested CCA which they did provide from Very,

I set up a token payment plan...for some strange reason this was stopped on their side...midway through last year ,

I got letters sent saying now you have cleared this debt ???  (still owed a substantial amount) and why not pay the other outstanding accounts on a CC  and a mobile bill they hold ...

.on those I have always requested a CCA but that's never appeared ,

so have ignored them on those two.

..should I request another CCA on the Very account ?

No point having already done it, but with regards to the LBA its important that you have retained copies of the following :-

so may next year the whole debt vanishes from your credit file.

doesn't mean its not still owed mind.

esp as you'd restarted payments.

why do you need to resend a CCA request.

just scan up their previous return here that you think is enforceable........
