    • Okay so potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus." Octopus Tracker is a product of our labs, available now to customers through our beta programme. Octopus Tracker is a beta product. Some things may not work the first time, and installations and processes may take longer than we'd like. Third party tech like In-home Displays won't always work, and on occasion data issues with smart meters can take significant time to fix or prevent things from working at all.   Copied straight from octopus   Feel free to shove it somewhere else    
    • 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

    • 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 to make it simple as I can.

 

I have been chased by Debt Collector over a small debt which at first I didn't recognise. I was sent a statement of account and a Fixed Loan Agreement with all terms and conditions electronically signed in 2016. This was enough to confirm I owe this debt therefore I commenced a repayment plan.

 

Tonight upon studying the Fixed Loan Agreement I noticed it is showing my current address. However at the time I took the payday loan ( Summer 2016) I was living at my previous address which I vacated in 2018 due to landlord selling the property. Since have been living at my current address since late 2018 which is now showing on the Loan Agreement.

 

With the address not showing correctly to what it should have been in 2016 has the Debt Collector committed fraud?

 

I am not attempting to weasel my way out of my own debt (I am obliged to pay this) but if the Debt Collector has done something wrong I would believe it should be reported.

Hi dx100uk, the original Payday Loan in 2016 was The Money Shop Online (Instant Cash Loans Limited).  It is Lantern whom provided me the documents when I originally first didn't know what the debt related to.

 

As part of the documents I received yesterday from Lantern one was a letter dated 22/01/2021: Notice of Assignment from Instant Cash Loans Limited to tell me this was being assigned to Lantern Debt Recovery Services Ltd.  This letter confirmed the assignment is in effect from 30/12/2020.

 

Hope this info helps.

Heres my thoughts, I'd complain - As long as you know that you didnt update the address with ICL / TMS and you are very direct with Lantern - They will back off. 

I know that because I managed to get them to do it. I believe this would likely resolve your issue. 

 

Others may have a different opinion. 

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Money Shop (Instant Cash Loans) PDL now Lantern - CCA Agreement Request: Wrong Address

surely it doesn't matter if the address was/wasn't updated, the loan originates from before the time of the move and holds the wrong address for that time period.

 

sadly Lantern (MMF) are very well known for doing these dodgy CCA's which id why they changed their name,

Thanks both for your comments.

 

I'm worried that if I cancel the Repayment Plan now they will initiate Court Proceedings.  If I were to make a formal complaint telling Lantern the address is incorrect, I'd suspect they could go a bit further and replace my current address to show my old address (obtaining it from Credit Referencing) and forward it back to me again.

 

Was thinking on the idea of a Formal Complaint telling them the Fixed Sum Loan Agreement is invalid without telling them what is inaccurate about it.

 

What's your thoughts on this?

 

Thanks for your replies.

Its a hard one... 

 

A) Go to court and let them shoot themselves in the foot.

B) Complain and see if they close it down. 

 

I honestly cant advise you because Im not in your position but If I were in your shoes, I might complain - You have them bang to rights here if they have messed up in the way you suggest.

so they are going to goto court when they have already produced fake paperwork...

not a chance. exp when MMF were fined by the authorities for doing exactly the same thing many many times years ago and changed name to hide the fact.

 

stop paying and stop being scared of a DCA, they are NOT BAILIFFS

and have

ZERO legal powers on any debt ..no matter what it's type.

Thanks both again for your answers

 

I will fire out a Formal Letter of Complaint today telling the Fixed Sum Loan Agreement is invalid but I won't tell them why.  I will also tell them I want the proposed repayment plan which was setup for Direct Debit 1st June 2021 to be put on Stop and that I am obligated to contact the Financial Conduct Authority regarding the agreement.

 

I can't believe these DCA's would actually do things like this.  When I read the agreement after giving my proposal of payment I felt like hitting my head off a table multiple times for not seeing it right away when I saw the incorrect address.

Don't rely on anyone cancelling the DD mandate for you - do it yourself by instructing your bank to cancel the instruction.

I got a little too eager and sent the Letter of Complaint only a few minutes before I saw your reply there dx100uk.

 

I'll not get into any games with them from now onwards.  I'll keep you posted on what they reply with.

 

I appreciate everybody's replies over this issue, I never really use forums but certainly will do my bit to contribute where I can.

Hi, been quite a while since posting in regards to this thread.  Things went quiet a while with Lantern concerning my complaint.  On Friday past I received a final complaint response from Lantern upholding my complaint however they told me I need to put a repayment plan in place as the debt is not unenforceable.

 

They confirmed I was right the Fixed Sum Loan Agreement document was incorrect therefore apologised only, and remedied this by amending the address back to my old address after using a Credit Reference Agency.  Apparently they can do this as they said it was a reconstituted agreement.

 

I had to start a payment plan with them as it seems I have no defense now they have sent me a new Fixed Sum Loan Agreement.

 

If I were to forward this complaint onto the Financial Ombudsman do you think I would be in a good situation to report Lantern's poor business practices?

ignore them until/unless they send a letter of claim

they are obviously constructing fake reconstructed documents which is a very old trait used by them going back many years under their old name of MMF, so they are trying the old tricks again!! they got heavily fined by the authorities before for doing this and thats why they changed names. just read a few threads here.

 

send them ONE further email stating email is NOT to be used for any further comms writing ONLY.

 

they give up in the end
