    • So I am now in receipt of a second Letter of Claim this time from DCBL although their letter head now says " DCBLegal"  😱 Now I'm guessing one response to a letter of claim is sufficient and I could ignore this but having been inspired by other snotty letters I wanted to have another bash at one. How does this sound? Dear Lackeys of Company with Unconscionable Morals, Thank you ever so much for gracing me with yet another Letter Before Claim on behalf of Excel Parking Services. How many of these delightful missives do you plan on sending before you muster the courage to follow through on your threats to take me to court? Just so we're clear, here is the response (in italics by that I mean the slanted text below) I previously sent to Excel’s Letter Before Claim, in case your attention to detail is as lacking as I suspect: I am currently 2-0 up in terms of Small Claims Court proceedings and I look forward to the opportunity to claim a hat trick, this case being more straightforward than my previous two. I will be asking the court for an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) due to your conduct over this absurd claim. Despite my best efforts, you continue to assert that I have breached your terms. However, I cannot breach terms that I was not present to accept. Have you even read my initial response? I suggest you review it thoroughly and save yourself some money. Additionally, please refer to section 13 of the IPC Code of Practice, 2023 edition. I eagerly await your deafening silence. Remarkably, I haven't heard a peep from Excel since my response; instead, they've passed the baton to you to perform this tiresome routine once more. Consider this my official notice that I am sending a cease and desist letter to Excel Parking Services. Their relentless hounding has crossed the line into clear harassment. Any further demands for payment from you, as Excel's lackeys, will be regarded as nothing more than shameless acts of intimidation and harassment. I now look forward to the deafening sound of your silence. Yours sincerely,
    • Personally I'd go to it and object for the sake of it. They have to attend anyway so I can't see you being liable for any costs or anything (if they try to ask for attendance costs, just say that firstly it is their application, secondly it is from their own making, thirdly that they would have to come anyway so you shouldn't need to bear their costs.   When you turn up you should object on the basis that the witness has been in office since the time of the order, and could have done their witnes statement in advance of their AL. Their poor planning is not your fault, 7 days is too rushed for you as a LIP and there is no good reason that a company can't organise itself to sort WX in time. Also they say finalise so they already have something, its not like thye have nothing. Their amendments cannot be so important if they are being added so late.   see what @AndyOrch says but that's my thoughts  
    • Yes, in the main your understanding of my case is right. Linked below to the post with the final WS sent to the court and to Evri.   
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. As you say, appealing this ticket doesn't help as these people hardly ever accept appeals. They don't care how difficult someone's life is, they just want the money. The forum guys should be along later with thoughts for you on how to deal with this. Best, HB

    • 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 everyone,

 

I am having some trouble with British Credit Trust.

 

In 2003 our car was written off this was financed via BCT. When we were looking for another car a Broker rung us who we thought was working for BCT and arranged for us to view some cars (none of the cars he organised for us were any good), so we brought one via an independent garage.

 

In 2006 the car engine ceased up and we had to send the car back to BCT and was paying the outstanding balance via Marlin.

 

I then decided to send in a SAR request. What I got back was a copy of the fees the Broker charged even though he did nothing (nearly £1600).

 

I have written to both Marlin and BCT about this matter as hidden broker fees are a no no but neither of them have bothered to reply to my letters even though they have signed for them.

 

Does anyone have the contact details for the main person at both companies?

 

Thanks in adavnce

Just received a letter from Marlin Portfolio (so it has moved one desk down to chimp line) saying if we don't start payments they will start legal proceedings which would be nice, but funnily enough no response to our complaint, so we will start the process again with these chimps and see what happens.

Luckily we have changed phone companies and they don't have the number.

Hi, 

 

My other half has just received a letter from Cabot regarding a debt going back to 2006.

 

It was originally with Marlin, and after taking advice on here we put the account in dispute due to some errors in the paperwork, 

 

She has not heard a thing from them until Cabot wrote saying they got a CCJ at our old address dated 11/2014.

 

No payments have been made on this account since early 2005.

 

As it is nearly 5 years since the CCJ was granted would we be able to set aside the CCJ?

 

Thanks

 

JJ

  • dx100uk changed the title to Backdoor Cabot/Marlin 2005 CCJ for old BCT car finance remainder after vt . not paid since 2005!!

merged a few old threads

 

well TBH its not far away from 6yrs when they wont be able to enforce it wihout returning to court

 

but what strikes me is the account would have been well statute barred by 2014

 

poss write to them and state these facts?

I was thinking of writing along the lines of:

 

The account was placed in dispute in 2009/2010 as there was serious errors in the agreement and the account running.

Marlin/Bramble should not of sold the debt on when  a dispute has been raised.

 

We require you to remove the CCJ or we will go back to court and have it set aside as we have a strong defence

marlin are cabot, not been sold on

 

the debt was statute barred at the issuance of the claimform resulting in the default uncontested judgement because the claim was raised against an old address.

would need to return to court and get permission

forget the dispute, that's immaterial now

 

the bottom line is the debt was outside of the statute barred period when default judgement was attained.

 

if you have proof of last payment then they could quite easily remove the CCJ by consent FOC to you

 

write with a copy of that proof and tell them they have 14 days to remove the CCJ FOC or you'll seek financial compensation for the last almost 6yrs of damage this has done to his credit worthiness

 

do you have proof of last payment?

do you have proof you in formed either BCT or marlin in writing of his current address before they raised the court claim?

Glad you merged all the threads from earlier.

 

The last payment was 27/07/2005 and the CCJ was granted on 11/11/2014 so a clear 6 years.

 

I think by the looks of it they got the CCJ from the original address for the agreement and not the one they had been writing to us

Sorry for not posting sooner, have had a serious family matter.

 

I have drafted a letter of complaint, if you can think of anything please let me know

 

With regards to the above account I would like to raise a formal complaint.

 

In September 2009 I wrote to you when you was under the name of Marlin and raised a formal complaint as there was serious errors in the way the account had been processed, and have had no response from you until your recent correspondence.

 

After checking my credit file I noticed that you have lodged a CCJ that I did not have a chance to defend.

 

With this in mind I request you remove this CCJ from my file, if you are unwilling to do this I will apply to set aside the CCJ and will send the cost over to your company.

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

I've just been through all the paperwork here and it seems that some payments were made to Marlin upto July 2009 until we asked for a CCA and lodged the complaint about the serious error in the paperwork, so that takes it within the 6 years.

 

Weirdly this statement was in our original paperwork but not in their last statements that came through

 

We moved house in 2012 and they hadn't written to us during that time.

 

Don't know how to play this now
