    • depends what the fees are, typically nothing can be added once judgement is passed bar litigation costs. on document retention time limits etc at least 6yrs previous must be held though many hold complete info. as for acronyms and abbreviations ideally yes they should     
    • Still have to submit a statement either system....if they fail they can only give verbal because they failed to file and serve.
    • OP stated they had been arrested, but not charged (let alone convicted). They DON'T have a criminal record, but do have an entry on the PNC. That information stays on the PNC (Police National Computer) for life, but doesn't get released in a standard DBS. It only MIGHT get released for an Enhanced DBS (eDBS) check  ... but it would be incredibly unlikely. (The rational behind this is that eDBS's allow for 'information at Chief Officer of Police's discretion' ..... this covers the 2 'barring lists' and is also intended for the scenario where someone has multiple arrests or investigations, where safeguarding is a concern .... it was brought in after the Soham murders / Ian Huntley case, where the information known about the now-convicted child murderer may have prevented his employment in a school, had it been made available). So, for the sake of accuracy and completeness, arrests stay on the PNC for life, wont appear in a standard DBS, MIGHT appear in an eDBS, but in reality, would be the exception rather than the norm, and I can't see them being released  to a defense barrister. What then if the defence found out a different way, and brought it up in court?. Again, unlikely, but the important feature is that the judge would make sure they trod very carefully!. They MIGHT consider using it if there were other factors that allowed them to try to cast doubts as to the truthfulness of your evidence, but on its own : No way. Anyone MIGHT be arrested (if a seemingly plausible complaint been made against them)! The approach to take if it did come up is to be truthful. "Yes, I was arrested. It arose from a vexatious complaint. I wasn't charged, let alone convicted. That could happen to any one of us, if a vexatious complaint gets made" Far better that than lying, saying you'd never been arrested, and getting caught in a lie : that would ruin your credibility. I'm incredibly doubtful it will even come up, though.
    • we dont get N157 because its new OCMC but no court dont have evidence either.   Just seems a bit of a pointless wait but oh well

    • 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,

 

Looking for some help and advice please. Back in 2011 and I had a breakdown and ignored all post, until 2013...

 

Pre 2011 I had a credit card with the Post office. I haven't made any payments on this since March or April or May 2011. 

 

I have no post from 2013 regarding this debt.

 

Today I got a letter from them saying that from 29th July 2020, The Bank Of Ireland  have sold the outstanding balance to Cabot...

 

My questions are

1) since not heard in over 7 years  is this not Statue Barred? 

2) should I engage with Cabot?

 

do I ignore this, file it away and wait to see what happens next?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I have not told the Post Office I have moved.

For a start, I had nothing with my account details on and secondly, I hoped if I never heard from them it would just become unenforceable..

.Wrong, yes, but I can't pay the debt.

Thankfully now, I own nothing as I am living with my parents.

 

I have other accounts with that Cabot manage,  am on the electoral roll so guessing they have found me this way?

 

The letter came in the post.

you must always inform any debt owners of a change of address in writing by royal mail

 

 

as for your other accounts being managed by cabot.. i hope you are not blindly paying them anything without checking enforceability first?

else this could explain whats going on..they want to mug you on this debt too!

I must confess to not even thinking about telling them, especially since I haven't heard anything from them for years, they weren't on my to contact list.

 

I always come here for advice before I reply and I am certainly not paying anyone unless I have too ( 1 ccj is being paid at £1 a month) 

 

Since getting my head out of the sand I have been very careful on keeping all letters and taking advice before I respond and keeping copies of all correspondence.

it wouldn't hurt you to send the PO an sar using the AD on that letter.

 

it could be that they left it years to default it.

then are selling it to cabot within 6yrs from that default (though this would be make it still showing on your credit file too)

 

that, in terms of a recent ruling make it seem as though the debt is still chasable as the ruling in the appeal court sort of indicated that the S is now defaulted date + 14 days, but if a creditor took months even years to default it, that is challengeable.

 

worthy to get the info IMHO. that will also give the PO your correct address.

Hi,

 

I got this today!

 

Shall I contact PO even though they have said it's sold on and all contact should be with Cabot? 

 

This hasn't been on my credit file for a long time, I use Credit Karma  because it's free,  and the only negative mark on my file now is the one CCJ ( will drop off next year)

 

Thanks for your help

debt buyers only ever get debt details in a portfolio spreadsheet containing 1000's of people - one line each, so they can pop it in the automictic threat-o-gram pc to spew out crap. they obv thus never get any paperwork.
