    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is 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.

Seems quite clear to me that Johnson, his pal Paterson, and most of Johnsons cabinet are **** utterly in a class of their own.

 

A very few others in the other parties might aspire, but they are rank amateur minnows in the field of being corrupt, lying, self serving **** compared to Johnson et al.

and the tory party has largely accepted and supported that (with a very few exceptions)

 

Even the 'Tory depose Boris the liar crew are very nearly as scummy as him.

A little filler

 

The US (likely worse if Republicans regain houses) is unlikely to agree much at all with the UK while

1. Johnson holds Good Friday agreement to his backside

2. Agreements with EU (who also support the good friday agreement) are finalised

 

When it is ready to deal (bearing in mind the EU has already had the steel and aluminum trump tariffs removed), the UK is seen as a weak party desperate for a deal - and ripe for ripping off. If Australia can do it ..

Wont be much better with India either.

 

Rather rich as the Brexitwits claimed that brexit would allow better deals ...

Not seen any of that part of Johnson the liars Brexit lies as other than lies either

 

 

Its not new ... just being more solidly confirmed as time passes

Most was in the US trade agreement objectives when it was released over a year ago - and no changes to those.

 

The Irish lobby has been quite active, and the US is clearly replacing the UK/EU with the UKless/EU for all except the UK's security council weight - which is shrinking and shrinking in 'soft power and effect thanks to lightweight Johnson

The Met have decided to investigate 'partygate', meaning that the Sue Gray enquiry is being paused in the week it was meant to be issued.

 

It looks like a good way to kick the issue into the long grass until the Met decide whether there's enough evidence. I can see people leaking more information and possibly photos to the likes of Paul Brand at ITV.

"Although the council has announced cross-party committee to investigate the issue, the fact that all senior councillors have stonewalled questions on the subject has only added to local fury. Residents here feel like their concerns are being ignored by the very people who should be representing them.

 

And, with local elections barely three months away, there is some suggestion Labour and the Greens may end up paying at the ballot box – creating the bizarre possibility that both parties could lose South Yorkshire council seats over a scandal that started with a Tory prime minister."

Yep

Johnson wouldn't comment while awaiting greys report

Met wouldn't investigate while awaiting greys report, (despite met officers signing people in)

greys report now wont be released awaiting met investigation

johnson wont comment awaiting met investigations

... another none met investigation next? during which nothing will be said awaiting its findings ?

 

No wonder Johnson 'welcomes' met investigation to excuse continued no comment and non-release of grey report

.. plus of course:

“Officials who don’t tell Sue Gray the whole truth will not hold back from the cops.”

-  which Met cops (aka cress) will undoubtedly hand over to Johnson

 

The whole thing stinks and the met is adding to the stink

Nobody seems to know the position with the Sue Gray report although the main pundits seem to think it could be this week.

 

I think Johnson is trying to delay taking delivery of it to delay the inevitable and there's talk of not wanting to cut across the police enquiry, but the Met have already said they don't have a problem with it being published.

 

So we wait and see today. Will there be more revelations once the report's out, as some people think?

It does appear that there are people in Government who have wanted Johnson to leave office for a long time.  There has been a steady flow of leaks to media and I can only see this continuing.

 

Johnson may just decide to quit, rather than face being forced out by Tory backbenchers. Would be surprised if he still had support of most Tory MP's.

Time will tell if I'm right, but I don't see Johnson leaving of his own accord, it's being said that he's fighting on and spent yesterday talking about strategy.

 

But at least one journo thinks the relationship between the PM and the party is broken.
