    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • 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.

Well I have been receiving various calls from these muppets from different numbers, some just silent or nothing left on my voicemail.

 

This is becoming a regular occurrence and now receiving calls late evening and early mornings so yesterday I sent a harassment letter asking them to remove all contacts from their records and stop calling me.

 

Anyway today I answered the phone and spoke to 'Cheryl' nice girl but she started to bleat on about credit cards etc in which I stopped her in her tracks and mentioned about their constant calling and that I had submitted a relevant complaint.

 

She took the liberty to then inform that they can call me up to 8 times a day - is this correct or should I now submit a further complaint regarding this conversation ?

If you have submitted a complaint in writing then they are duty bound to remove all telephone contact numbers.

 

I would like to know where she gets the idea they can call you 8 times a day, shame you did not record that?

 

Saying that it is a little early for that harassmant letter to kick in and be acted upon

Thanks obiter dictum.

 

Yeah a missed opportunity but I can always request details if need be but I have a calls log list with times and dates anyway. She did not know what to say when I questioned it and asked for evidence that allows the company to do this.

 

I know about letter but I did take the opportunity to mention that it was on its way and that a copy has also been passed to relevant bodies who might be interested.

 

Watch this space :wink:

Incorrect, there is no defined limit, however over 3 times a week for calls relating to sales or collection is excessive IMHO.

Next time they ring, record it and play along.

Opened April 2015.

 

Got behind on payments in Sept 2017.

 

Vanquis contacted me to arrange repayment plan. Then received demand from Moorcrofts.

 

Account returned to Vanquis Case Manager October 2017. 

Interest frozen but no monthly payment plan agreed as no further correspondence received.

 

I have had no statements since Sept 2017?

 

Last payment October 2017.

 

I have checked Experian today and states that Credit Card in Default January 2018?

 

I have never received any details confirming this and I am a bit concerned what to do? Will I suddenly get something from them threatening legal / Court action?

 

Do I contact Vanquis or hang fire ?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Ok dx yes you are right.

 

I am somewhat confused as to what is going on but details showing as default on Credit Report.

 

All communication including statements, e-mails, letters etc stopped around October 2017.

 

Do I just leave for now?

as long as you've not moved since taking the card out then i expect they'll sell it on at some point

or could it be there is another issue like they should never had given you the card in the 1st place?

 

if your credit file was shot with defaults and you had lots of other debt there might be a case for an irresponsible lending claim?

 

tell us the story

Thanks again dx.

 

No I am still at the same address.

 

I used to get posted & emailed statements from Vanquis.

 

Also a letter from Moorcroft demandGing payment / plan.

 

Referred back to Vanquis as didn't want dealings with them.

 

Then they stopped? October 2017.

 

I recently checked my credit score and saw details on there. Intending to pay-off debt.

 

This and another 2 cards in which I have an arrangement with (all rather small amounts) appear on it.

 

Totally bemused dx

 

As per my old and new posts all correspondences have now ceased from all parties hence me raising issue again.

 

If defaulted in January 2018, surely I should have been notified?

I sent a GDPR / Subject Access request to Vanquis via recorded delivery on 14th April, 2022, using CAG template and for all details under my said name and account. It was received and signed for by Vanquis on 16th April, 2022.

 

Vanquis sent a letter dated 21st April, 2022 requesting my full account number and date of birth before processing my request?

 

Anyway I replied with details on 23rd April, 2022.

 

When does the 1 month response with details start. From the 14th April, 2022 or 23rd April, 2022?

 

Many thanks for any comments.

Hi dx thanks for your reply and merging posts.

 

I am still at same address as when card was taken out in 2013.

 

I found a Notice of sums in arrears received November 2017?

 

I recently received a letter from Lowel's saying that they had taken over the debt, hence why I sent Vanquis an SAR.

 

They want me to enter into a repayment plan.

 

As mentioned before I had never received any written default details?

 

Shall I just wait for SAR / GDPR details from Vanquis before responding further?

 

Or should I send Lowel's a CCA Request?

 

Many thanks for your comments.

Hi Baz,

 

If debts have been sold to DCA's and they have written with a Notice of Assignment, then you should be firing a CCA request to them yes - dx commented this in my thread.

 

The Notice of Assignment will read something like " (insert company name) has assigned all of it's rights, title and interest in respect of....."

 

You could remain silent still (I did) and it will likely proceed to a Letter of Claim, in which point you follow post 2 here: Letter of Claim

Ok Badtimes123 many thanks and I will send DCA a CCA request and await SAR details from Vanquis.

 

Regarding the Notice of Assignment from Vanquis, they only advise of change of ownership to Lowell's and that it was sold on 30/3/22.

 

Vanquis also state that my agreement was terminated with effect from 29/03/22 yet default notice was supposedely sent 31/01/18 ?

Apologies something dx told me in my thread - it sometimes states 'sold', that is the Notice of Assignment.

As long as it doesn't say 'acting on behalf of my client...' which just means a DCA is going to be harassing you on behalf of the OC :)  But I understand Lowell's are a debt buying company and have most likely purchased the debt so you're good. You should also see on your credit file that Lowell now owns it.

 

Default Notice does come first, it is your opportunity to act (within two weeks) and not have the agreement terminated, like catch up arrears and continue agreed payments thereafter. I don't think the OC is bound by any time limit as to when they choose to terminate the agreement, although 3 years is a long time!

 

DN matters for Statute of Limitations, terminating agreement means nothing in the grand scheme really.

Many thanks again for comments.

 

I have just checked my Equifax Credit File but still states Vanquis so I am confused? Perhaps takes a while to up-date?

 

Like I said I cannot ever remember receiving the Default Notice from Vanquis  but can only find a notice of arrears letter. Hence why I have requested a SAR / GDPR from Vanquis for details.

 

It's actually 4 years between Default Notice and internal termination of account hence my concerns.

 

Should I still send a CCA to Lowell's ?

Whats the date on the Notice of Assignment? you mention being received 'recently'

 

No Default Notice is great news for you! and will assist you defending in the future.

 

Credit file - Yes there will definitely be a delay with updates if say Lowell only just purchased it. I just checked mine to confirm. OC still appears under 'default account' however the value is £0, then the Debt Purchaser shows also under default account with the amount 'bought'
