    • Thank you. You contacted directly with the parcel broker so your best option is to proceed directly against them for breach of contract. I hope you have read enough to understand that you will not be able to rely on the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Do you understand why? Have Parcel to Go giving you a reason for declining reimbursement? Do you have anything in writing from your customer which shows that they did not refuse delivery and which identifies the actual circumstances of the situation?

    • 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,

Yesterday I got a wakeup call and I need help regarding the debts I have with the above 3 agencies.

Yesterday a bailiff paid me a visit, he was acting on behalf of Cabot for 2 debts I have with them 

£220 (HSBC account opened on 06/04/17 defaulted on 30/11/18) 

£115 ( first direct, unsure of account open and default date) 

I wasn't home so he left a card, I got it, immediately opened the app and set up repayment plans. 

This then forced me to set up repayment plans for the others 

Lowell passed over 4 of my debts to their solicitors - Overdales 

Total £4046.25 

£2089 (118 money start 25/03/17, defaulted on 25/04/18) 

£474 (Capital 1 start 05/06/17 defaulted 13/05/18)

£1006.78 (Capital 1 start 26/07/16 defaulted 13/05/2018) 

£476.47 (Vodafone start 14/04/18 default 01/12/19)

Then I have two seperate accounts with lowell 

£228.74 (Vodafone start 27/02/19 defaulted 01/06/21) 

£678.08 (JD Williams unsure of open date and default date) 

I have set up to pay overdales £100 pm, lowell £40 split across the two & Cabot £40 across the two. 

I have tried to read different topics regarding the 6 year drop off, lowell not being to enforce certain debts without proof, mobile companies having certain rules regarding debts they pass on but if I'm being honest I can't seem to piece it all together.

I do not plan on getting a mortgage or car or any big loans anytime soon which is why I opted on smaller repayment amounts. 

Is it worth me contacting the 3 and asking for discount on the debts? 

Any help would be appreciated

I've no idea what I am doing and

I have buried my head in the sand up until this point. 

Thank you

  • dx100uk changed the title to Lowell, Cabot & Overdales Solicitors- debt help (home visit)

they can try but these appear to be overdrafts on old current accounts?

ask yourself why the bank sold them on to the DCA's for about 10p=£1....and didnt take you to court and crush you?? weird the eh?

stop panicking about a silly doorstepping DCA.

no DCA's are BAILIFFS

and have 

ZERO legal powers on ANY DEBT - no matter what its type.

until or unless you receive any letters of claim

pers id get those payment plans cancelled.

if you set up a DD 

go cancel then NOW on your banks online portal.

if you used a debit card-

go ring your bank and tell them you got scammed and to cancel the continuous payment arrangements too xyz companies

i've moved your thread to the debt self help forum.

100's of like threads here to read.

next time DONT PANICK and do silly things...comeback here and tell us FIRST

And read the letters properly!! Not one of them say WILL anything...just ifs, buts, mights, instructed...every other word but will 

Sorry you fell for the oldest DCA trick of them all .. thinking they are BAILIFFS :pound:

I have learnt my lesson! Next time I will come here before panicking and setting up payment plans! 

All have been cancelled and I am now saving myself £180 a month 

 

Just one last question then I will let you continue to help people who actually need it. 

 

What do I do about this letter ? Do I ignore until I receive something official from the courts ?

Morning, 

 

06/12 i received a second letter 

"Letter of claim - 30 days to prevent legal action" 

Due to my postie not visiting on a regular basis I only received the letter today. 

 

Do I continue to ignore it ? 3 of the debts they are chasing are due to drop of my credit file in 2024

I have been reading previous threads on overdales and have seen that they do follow up with the ccjs 

Am I best getting 1 step ahead and asking them for the proof of debt - original credit agreements or wait out the 30 days and see what happens? 

 

I have a balance of £4046.25 so I can imagine they will pursue with this  

 

Thanks ,

Capital 1 - £474

Capital 1 - £1006

Vodafone - £476

118 money loan - £2089 

The 118 money appears on my credit file twice being owned by both lowell and Madison CF 

I have previously contacted both asking who owns the debt and they passed me back to the other (surprisingly)

thank you.

 

click letter of claim and follow post 2 there.

you dont need to send a sep CCA request for the telecom debt as that is not covered by the Consumer Credit Act, the rest ARE, so they need a CCA request for EACH ONE.

 

for the additional reason from you thread,...there is not one, use the default already there.

 

you need to complete the LOC/CCA stuff so it arrives close to your 30days limit from their letter of claim.

dont worry if its a day or 2 late
