    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

Lowell and JDW cat DEBT unable to provide valid CCA

Hi, 

for several years I was paying an old catalogue debt from 2012 through Lowell (I know, I shouldn’t have but I was ill). I was paying £5 a month.

 

Earlier this year I stopped paying because I couldn’t afford it and couldn’t even remember what the debt was.

 

Lowell pursued me for it and I sent a CCA request which they took over 8 weeks to fulfil.

What they did send me was a brief statement printout from the catalogue, listing items I don’t ever remember purchasing, and a digital agreement with NO SIGNATURE, not even printed or typed (they claim this is a valid CCA).
 

I challenged this in writing and said it is not a valid CCA and they are arguing that because the agreement was apparently taken out online, then there wouldn’t be a signature, and also that because I have been making payments in the past then that constitutes acknowledgement of the debt and that I am liable.

 

Next steps please?

Please don’t advise me to ignore it because in the past when I’ve DOB that Lowell have got a CCJ against me.

 

I know that this debt is unenforceable and as I said I don’t even remember what it was but could someone advise what to write to them or is there a template? 
thanks.

Like I said though, Dx, I don’t want to ignore them.

 

I want to send a letter to them so that if they decide to take me to court as they have in the past, I have as much evidence that I have done everything I can to prove that the debt is not enforceable. 


It’s easy enough for you to say it’s pointless but I am remaining honourable by stating my rights in writing and reminding them of their lawful (and legal) obligations.

not for you to state your rights nor for the dca to unilaterally decide a CCA is enforceable.

that's a judges job if a dispute exists

 

writing to tell a dca a cca return is unenforceable wont help you at all in court and neither does the notion that by not writing you are being somehow unhonourable or not trying to resolve an issue.

 

so a JDW cat debt

who said the cca was un-en ..have we seen it here ...I can't see another thread

You can only get a CCJ after

   - the company has sent you a Letter Before Action, and

   - has gone on to start court proceedings against you, and

   - has won the case.

 

Even then your credit wouldn't be affected if you paid by the time stipulated by the by the court.

 

It's not the most important thing at the moment, but what went wrong in the past that caused you to end up with a CCJ?

 

Also remember to inform anyone who reckons you owe them money if you move, backdoor CCJs happen when people move and don't know they're being taken to court.

We could do with some help from you.

I got the CCJ because I was ill with depression and hadn’t the strength to fight it.

I ignored all the letters and ended up getting a letter from the court which I also ignored and ended up with a judgement.

 

In the letter from Lowell, they state that the evidence they provided is a "reconstituted copy" along with a list of transactions, which they regard as proof.

As I said, no signature or date by myself.

 

My former name and address are printed above but not in the signature box.

Therefore I can't see how it can be legal?

Had a letter from Lowell last week informing me that they are now the owners of the debt (both JDW and Eon). 
It’s shocking that they are still pursuing this without the valid paperwork and in this current time of crisis.

well the EON debt won't go anywhere as its subject to a serious dispute...

as for the JDW one, if not already, time for a CCA request to Lowell.

See above. CCA request sent last Summer and they couldn’t provide a signed, true copy.

They insist that it’s valid as the alleged debt was taken out online.

But as said above, it says sign and return which it clearly wasn’t. 
as also stated above, I do t even recall opening the catalogue account. 


along with the sorry excuse for a CCA, thry also sent a “statement” listing a bunch of things that I supposedly bought

. None of which were even my size.

I’ve resent the email that I sent them on 30th December with a note saying that no reply was received but they did send an auto acknowledgement.

 

Dear Mr.  
 
Complaint Reference: 4
 
I write regarding your letter dated 18th December 2019. 
 
I thank you for closing the Capital One account, which was unenforceable due to the lack of a valid CCA.
I have noticed that the default still remains on my credit file.
Can you please advise when it will be removed?
 
Regarding the Eon Energy account. I have contacted Eon Energy regarding the estimated final bill. I am awaiting their response, but the account remains in dispute. The energy provider that I switched over to have now ceased to trade and I am finding it difficult to obtain the opening reading that was given to them when I left Eon Energy.
Therefore, this matter may take some time to resolve and I request that you put the account on hold until a satisfactory conclusion is reached. It is my view that I am owed money by Eon and not the other way around. 
 
With regards to the JD Williams account, I still do not acknowledge any debt to the company as I have no recollection of any dealings with them, and the documents you have provided are not acceptable proof of any alleged agreement or debt. The document provided does not have a signature or a date, was clearly not signed and returned, and is not a TRUE copy, incomplete, and the back of the page is blank. Therefore, I am advised that it does not constitute a valid CCA. 
 
I made payments to Lowell in respect of the alleged JD Williams account because I was ill advised and frightened into paying when I received letters from you, and, as you will know, as you have on your records, I was suffering from depression and had been on medication. But, now I am better informed, I am advised by the Money Advice Service that this does not constitute acknowledgement of any debt to JD Williams. Once again, I dispute this alleged debt. 
 
As is customary, please conduct any correspondance in writing by post. 
 
Kind regards, 

 

I sent it to them which they forwarded to JD and JD sent them the sorry excuse of a CCA.

i also sent them a SAR which proved nothing.
