    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Yes you still get a notice of recording a default from your bank. 28 days usually although not required by statute

 

section 98 Is a no default termination notice with which the creditor can terminate the agreement at any time, although not demand immediate repayment, on open-ended credit

 

76 on fixed sum.

Was getting slightly worried as not had any correspondence for a few days. Anyway this turned up in my inbox :

 

 

Quote

 

We, TM Legal Services Limited ("TMLS"), are recovering the outstanding balance which is in relation to a County Court Judgment. 

 

The Attachment of Earnings has recently been adjourned with liberty to restore, as they are awaiting to confirm your current employment status.

 

We may look to pass your account to ASpecialist Tracing Agency.

 

A Specialist Tracing Agency have secured information that can be provided to TM Legal Services in order to contact you regarding the Judgment. They have access to extensive databases and may provide us with your up to date employment details to continue with the Attachment of Earnings.

 

All Tracing Agents that are used are accredited by professional associations, their work is both ethical and legal.

 

 

 

 

 

They must be soft in the head !  Surely if I had broken the CCJ agreement they would have gone straight back to court..??

Quick question are they breaking financial guidelines with these emails/letter falsely claiming a CCJ ?

 

Another one in today..

Just to confirm TML cannot start adding details on my credit file? They would have had to do that from the default date?

 

We TM Legal Services are about to report the default status of your account(s) to the Credit References Agencies (CRA’s) and plan to start this within the next 30-60 days. The purpose of this communication is to let you know in advance so that you know what this means and to give you some time to take action should you want to.

 

How Can I Prevent This? 

If you clear the balance on your account(s) within the next 30 days, we will not register your account(s) with the CRA.

If you’re unable to clear the balance in full, we are open to considering all reasonable offers of settlement. Please contact the office to discuss this.

If you settle your account, in part or full, after the default has been registered at the CRA’s, the default will remain visible on your credit file for the next the six years. However, the default will reflect that you have settled your account.
 

What does this mean?

We will provide the CRAs with information on any defaults and settlements with regards to your account(s) with us.

 

Please note, having a default on your credit file at the CRA’s is likely to affect your ability to obtain credit, such as a loan, mortgage or mobile phone contract, until the six years from the original default date has passed. Once this time is up, the default will no longer show on your credit file.

 

If you are unable to repay the full outstanding balance or make us a reasonable settlement offer, please call us to discuss and agree on another amicable solution.

 

A payment arrangement will not prevent the default from being registered. If your account is being managed by a Debt Management Company or insolvency practitioner a flag will be registered alongside the default to identify this.

once a debt is defaulted [or 'whatever' - to stop pages of irrelevant drivel appearing here that equates to the original creditor registering a defaulted date in the debts summary ] 

 

that start a 6 yrs clock, on the defaults 6th birthday, the whole account vanishes never to return..but that is NOT necessarily the SB clock.

Sorry DX .(and a bit rude, isn't it?)

 

The SB MARKER is deleted, after 6 six years. That is,  six years after it had been placed.

 

Not from the default date of the account(issuance of 87 notice. As said. the section 87 default notice is not the same as the CRA notification. 

 In other words the marker must not remain on the CRA file for over 6 years since placement.

 

This is important, not drivel. As the Marker may appear well before the default date for enforcement.

Thanks so far..did a little digging and lucky I have kept email correspondence with these clowns from an old email account

.

Date loan taken out - 24th July 2013 

 

Default notice - This notice is given in compliance with the Consumer Credit Act 1974 because you have defaulted on your payments under the Terms & Conditions.

This Notice does not take account of default sums we have already told you about in another default sums notice, whether or not those sums remain unpaid.

Date Payable

31/01/2014

Nature of Default

Day 1 Arrears

Default Sum

£12.00

Total Default Sums Due

£12.00

 

** So in theory this is the default date that the 6 year marker is against? Is that correct?

so not a default notice under section 87 but merely a NOSIA.

Correct!  Located another email, an actual Notice of default dated 13/5/2014 , this looks like the official one.

It has the line - To remedy the breach you must pay us a total of £935.68 before 27/05/2014.

 

So the official default is 13th May which of course is fast approaching the 6 year mark this year...

No no. It is just a statement which confirms the default will be recorded, if the account is still in default.

Nothing  sinister. Although these notifications are not statutory, they are approved. Introduced originally buy the banking act many years ago.

Makes no difference, suppose you could claim fraud, but not to any effect.

Anyway could we stay on topic.

To be honest the emails are more a daily nuisance certainly not worth worrying over , just worth keeping an eye on to see what they are up to. 

As mentioned I tried years ago to communicate and then sacked it off after their rude and stubborn attitude.

I have checked all three CRA's and unable to see this entry...

Then in response to your previous post...there is nowhere for it to disappear as its never been registered...but safeguard that DN  you have proof of the default date...they would be foolish to register it after  6 years of the initial default.

the debt was sold to asset collections..

read the TM letters..it's says our client.

 

this trick of vaguely claiming an old CCJ might exist by these 2 has been going on for 10yrs now, exactly the same letter chain.

and before that too..they changed their names from JD debt recovery & DLC, who previously got castigated for exactly the same trick.
