    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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.

Just a quick question regarding Cabot.  

 

I believe it’s for a Capital One Credit Card taken out December 2010.

 No payments made since April 2014.  

 

There is a default registered on my credit file dated October 14, 2014.  

 

I’ve ignored all the standard letters from them regarding the debt but is it likely they can still take me to court regarding the debt.  

It’s for £568.  

Thank you.

Statute baring of 6 years runs from date you failed to make a payment due.   So I guess you failed to make a payment in May 2014, therefore statute barred from May 2020.

 

Doubt they will issue a Court claim at this late stage for that amount, if they were mistaken that the statute barred status was from October 2020.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you.  I was trying to find out if the statute bar was from the missed payment or from the default date but all I could find is from the date a creditor had cause of action but I’m unsure of what that actually means.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Cabot and old Cap1 Card debt

run with defaulted date unless you can prove cap1 took months to register it.

 

pers i'd not respond until or unless you get a letter of claim

as long as you've informed cap1 or cabot in writing if you've moved since taking it out.

Hi.  
 

yes I informed Cabot that we’d moved and the correct address shows on the credit file.

 

Can I just ask.  I was trying to find where I’d read after the default expiring 14 days after the date it’s recorded.  Is this correct.  So the recorded date is the 14th October but they would have until the 28th October to make a claim.

That’s correct, always assume the default date if the last payment was made before them. That said at this stage it’s supremely unlikely that they will do anything.

We could do with some help from you.

I’ve received a letter today from Cabot Financial saying that as they’ve been unable to reach an agreement with me they’ve passed my account to a company called Ruthbridge.

 

It’s regarding an old Capital One credit card which doesn’t show on Credit Karma, Clearscore or Equifax and Experian has my credit score at 998.

 

I believe the last payment was in April 2014 and I wrote to them in Jan 2020 to advise of our correct address apart from that I’ve never called or acknowledged any letters.

 

Has anyone heard of Ruthbridge as it’s a company I’ve never heard of before.

 

Many Thanks

Thank you.

 

I was using my iPad and it wouldn’t let me change anything but I’ve asked my husband and he’s done it on his laptop.  Sorry for being an idiot.  I’ve spent the morning having chemicals pumped into a helmet I’m having to use to fumigate student bedrooms and it’s obviously gone to my head.

I received a letter from Ruthbridge today in regards the SB letter I sent.

 

it just says that after liaising with their client (Cabot) the account has been returned to them in order for them to deal with the matters raised.  It also says the account with them has been closed and I’ll receive no further communication from Ruthbridge.

 

Then it finishes by saying that our client will be in touch with you shortly regarding the issues raised.

 

So now I have to wait for Cabot to get in contact with me.

Don't lose any sleep over Cabot. They can say anything they want in future but can't change the fact that it's now Statute Barred.
