    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  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. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

Hopefully this is the best place for this question.

 

Last summer I agreed to have some outdoors work carried out by a nationwide company. Mainly because sales kept on at me, multiple calls, best price Etc. As they are promising a six week installation time, I thought, just go with it, get it done. 
 

They took a 25% deposit with the rest to be paid upon completion. Well, this is when the problems started.

 

Trying to get it booked in, nobody calling me back, people on holiday Etc. Surveyor comes out and takes a sample of soffit and report comes back and says it’s crysotile asbestos.

 

Delays, delays, no quotes provided for removal, just that it would be thousands. To try and hurry things along, I asked them if I could get it removed. Yes they said, but we would need a clean air/reoccupation certificate.

 

All the companies I called said they could not supply this as not applicable as outside work. I booked a company in to remove it. Received a call from original company as installation date was coming up the following week. Advised it was booked in the following week but would not be able to get the clean air certificate.

 

He said ok and asked me to email the details of the company I was using which I did. I told him it was being done Monday morning on the phone and reiterated this in the email but received no response. Work was carried out to remove the cryosotile Monday morning, company then called me after the work was completed advising that they would still need the certificate! 
 

Eaves now exposed, company trying to get me to pay for a clean air/reoccupation certificate for £515 on an already expensive delayed job. I asked for a refund and then they said they would pay for the inspection.

 

They then send someone to inspect, they said no point in air test but carried out visual inspection. Apparently, there were flakes of asbestos in the cobwebs and therefore the site was contaminated. Bear in mind that she picked said flakes out with her bare hands and no mask on or anything.

 

Company now reported my removal company to the HSE and refusing to do any work.

 

Where do I stand now with this from a legal perspective please as feel I was missold in the first place with unrealistic fitting timescales.

 

Many thanks

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi

 

Has that company actually reported the removal company you employed to remove this asbestos or have they just told you this i.e. do you have proof of this

 

Also did the individual that came out to do this supposed Clean Air Inspection actually show you any Identification?

 

Why would any individual that is doing a clean Air Inspection after Asbestos Removal do a visual inspection state there are flakes of asbestos while touching them with there bare hands with no protection then state the area is contaminated and also not take any flake samples to be tested to confirm it is asbestos.

 

The Company that carried out the Asbestos Removal couple of questions:

 

1. Was the Company a Licensed Company for Asbestos Removal with HSE?

 

2. Once the Asbestos Removal was complete were you given any paperwork?

 

3. Have you informed this company of the actions of your contractor and the supposed clean air inspection and they are reporting them to HSE as they state the area is contaminated?

 

Now the Contractor that you Employed to carryout the works to your property that is causing numerous delays in the works this asbestos issue now making matters worse I would be contacting them and asking them the following:

 

1. The full Company Name of the Company they Employed to carry out the Clean Air Inspection of your property and for the individuals name that carried out said inspection.

 

2. To be provided with a copy of the Clean Air Inspection Report carried out on your property.

 

3. The Individual that carried out this inspection stated no need for an Air Inspection so only carried out a Visual Inspection in front of you and stated their were flakes of Asbestos which that Individual was touching said flakes with there bare hands and also did not take a sample of said flakes to be tested.

 

4. The Name of the Individual at HSE that you have reported the contractor I employed to remove this asbestos as I wish to inform them of the actions of the contractor you employed to carry out this clean air inspection otherwise I will report this to HSE myself.

They have just told me that they have reported them. I haven’t seen any evidence of this.

 

The company that came to do the inspection were called CASS and were at my property for about 25 mins.

 

They did not show my id but that was the company name on the van. They did take a flake away that she picked out but I have not been allowed me to see the report or had my question answered regarding removing it with bare hands. 

 

When I got the company to remove the asbestos I simply told them what type of asbestos it was in the report and they came and removed it.

 

I have been provided with a proper disposal certificate from them.

 

They have since been back and hoovered out all of the eaves so there are no cobwebs remaining.

 

Only other thing that concerns me is that the guttering on the bays also appears to be asbestos (not sure what type) and a couple of the downpipes but installation company have failed to mention or test this? 
 

 

 

Sorry, I believe the company was actually called Casa that carried out the inspection.
