    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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.

Hello everyone,

 

I took out the old-style student loans from 1998 - 2001. I always deferred as I never earnt above the threshold. 

 

I last deferred in 2013.  In 2014 I filled in the deferment forms, however I lived overseas from 2015 until 2016 and I don't think I ever received proper notification that slc loans were being managed by Erudio. 

 

I have had big gaps in communication from Erudio - however they have recently written to me - a standard letter saying that this is a notice of sums in arrears and I'm behind in payments. And contact details if I want to discuss the state of my account with them.

 

Last week, Dryden solicitors have contacted me. I received an email from a Technical Litigation Officer at Dryden Fairfax. "further legal proceedings may commence without further notice.  This may include an application to the Court to progress the legal action commenced against you. It is also likely that any such application will include an Application for Summary Judgment."

 

I'm confused why I'm hearing from both organisations. What shall I do? I thought about asking Erudio for proof that the sent me a deferment form. Also asking the FCA and Financial ombudsman for advice.  

 

Thanks

Statute barred as 6 years has passed between last ackowledgement of the debt and the current date. Presuming 2014 deferment form is the last acknowledgement.

 

Would suggest notifying them that the old style mortgage loans are subject to limitations act and they are statute barred.  And you will vigoursly defend, if they issued a court claim.

We could do with some help from you.

sounds like they have already issued a court claim to an old address and they successfully got a backdoor CCJ because you did not defend.

 

have you checked your UK credit file?

 

if you last SUCCESSFULLY deferred in 2013 the debt was already statute barred by the time they issued the claimform.

 

std practice for erudio. sadly.

Well spotted dx !  "further legal proceedings may commence without further notice.  This may include an application to the Court to progress the legal action commenced against you "

 

This does suggest they already have a CCJ.

I checked my UK credit file and there appears to be no ccj - I looked at experian and equifax and no CCJs. 

 

Shall I respond to the Erudio letter first and I wondered why Dryden are emailing?

 

Unsure what to do next. 

 

I think I need to find out what records the SLC have about my last deferment date.

Are all your old addresses showing in linked addresses section ?

 

If so then this seems like a ruse Dryden's have used several times just to get a response 

 

If you have been getting notice of sums in arrears, then that means they have also adding unlawful fees 

 

To check your deferment, see if you can get onto the SLC portal many still can

I've checked my online SLC account now - and have an 'End of Deferment Pack from - December 2013 - then nothing further.

 

And before that -  they contacted me was on 4 November 2013 - the letter says that the loan from 97 is deferred for a period ending on 27 December 2013. And if I want to further defer I need to fill in the enclosed form. If I have any further questions I need to contact Thesis Servicing. 

 

There was nothing about 98, 99 and 00 loans and no mention of Erudio. 

 

I don't think I was ever notified that Erudio were taking over the loans. I don't have any letters. 

 

Is it worth asking Erudio what paperwork they have? Is it worth complaining to the Financial Ombudsman and FCA?

Send SAR's to Erudio and SLC.

 

If it were me I would write to Drydens asking them to explain what they mean by 'further legal proceedings may commence without further notice'

 

Advise them that you have checked and there have been no previous proceedings and as the student loans are subject to limitations act, they are statute barred.   As such, if they attempted to issue a Court claim, you will defend

Urgh - I've just been searching my old emails and I noticed I made a small payment to company called Capquest - who were administered by CapQuest - only £75 in 2017.  I guess that cancels out the SB as a defence. 

 

Well my student loan account should have been in deferment when the loans were assigned to Erudio.

I also never received a Notice of Assignment from Erudio. 

 

If I contact them what shall I say? 

 

Shall I say to Dryden that I'm sending SAR's to Erudio and SLC. If I found my SLC online portal do I need to ask SLC?

slow down.

 

thesis are nothing to do with arrows, they are to do with ONE of your loans sold on to a company called Link Financial , again a debt buyer hidding under a diff name - thesis.

 

capquest are part of the arrows group.

so looks like you got scammed into pay something off one of the loans owned by erudio (arrows dca).

 

the govt sold off some loans before 2013 to honours/thesis, then sold the rest to erudio late 2013.

I don't recall corresponding with Erudio. However I sent a change of address in 2016 to SLC and that's how  guess Capquest got in touch. 

 

Unsure what to do next?

Send my SAR to Erudio and SLC?

 

Thanks 

 

p.s I'll definitely send a donation to this fantastic website!

drydens are not a DCA they are a in house solicitor that act for the various trading names of Arrows Group.

 

you are correct about emails, how do they know you got them....which is why they LIE on them too, inadmissible evidence in court, a letter, containing the same lies is not.

 

you are learning!!

 

can i suggest you go read a few 10's of thread here 

type in erudio in our search of the top red banner and get reading 

 

i would for the minute kill 2 birds with one stone.

send erudio an SAR by ROYAL MAIL.

 

this will not only give them your correct address, preventing backdoor CCJ's but it will also get you everything the group holds on you.

you never know, they might not have record of the capquest payment.
