    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK. Β  Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunakΒ 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? "Β A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.Β  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.Β  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)Β  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.Β  NowadaysΒ  banks don't allow such a mix.Β  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.Β  Wanted another btl.Β  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.Β  Broker didn't find another btl loan.Β  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.Β  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.Β  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.Β  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholderΒ  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.Β  That's quite normal.Β  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.Β  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.Β  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.Β  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!Β 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though itΒ  still may beΒ  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatementΒ  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking periodΒ  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.Β  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail isΒ  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act statesΒ  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice mustβ€”..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,Β  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudgedΒ  as notΒ  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer mustβ€” (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the chargeΒ  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent toΒ  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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. Β 

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom. Β 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 byΒ 10pm. Β 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.Β

      Many thanksΒ

    • 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 everyone πŸ‘‹

Β 

New to this site and just wondering if anyone can offer me any advice πŸ™

Β 

Cabot have been on my credit file for a while for an old credit card debt (think Aqua). I have over this time received various emails and i have ignored them all πŸ™ˆ

Β 

I think i was hoping that it would just go away especially as the default date showing on my credit file is 31 December 2018 however i have today received an email that says if i don't respond within 26 days they will look to pass it to a Solicitor to obtain a CCJ.Β 

Β 

What should i do?Β 

Β 

Grateful for any advice anyone can give.Β

  • dx100uk changed the title to Cabot and old Aqua Card Debt - will they go for a CCJ?

ignore emails totally

you should never use/give email/phone/txt to a DCA. bloch and ignore all of them,.

Β 

DCA's are totally powerless and are not bailiffsΒ 

Β 

have you moved since taking the card out an never informed Aqua (newday?) nor the debt buyer/dca owner of your correct and current address??

Β 

Β 

  • Thanks 1

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

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marksΒ and mugs

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

and they

are NOT and can NEVERΒ  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

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

I have definitely never communicated with Cabot. They may have written to me and i have filed it in the bin; I can't be 100% sure.Β 

Β 

Not moved so Aqua always had my correct address.Β 

Β 

My only concern is if they do go for a CCJ i don't have the means to pay and not sure what my defense would be (i did take out the card and not pay it back). I just hoped it'd have pushed to the 6 year and vanished into the ether πŸ™ˆ i really don't want a CCJ but nor do i really want to pay these bottom feeders but if that is only way to stop action i guess i'd have to? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Β 

I appreciate your response.Β

woa slow down...

Β 

who say you've gotta pay them and it will ever go near a courtroom door...very very remote and they have no more powers than you or i to raise a speculative claim if we think someone owes us money.

Β 

they also have to abide by the pre action protocol and send a letter of claim FIRST.

Β 

till they ever do that BY ROYAL MAIL. simply ignore them.

Β 

block/bounce all their email addresses so you dont get free harassment from them too.

Β 

plenty of cabot card threads to read here.

Going to follow this one, have dealt with Cabot before.

Β 

1. Don't throw anything away, file it all in date order including the envelope. Gather any remaining material you have from the original debt, bills, letters etc and also add it to the file.

Β 

2. Don't reply to emails, just file them in an email folder on your computer

Β 

3. Don't answer the phone to them.Β  If they call from a different number put the phone down and add that number to the list of Cabot numbers on your phone.

Β 

4. Don't worry about any contact you have from other Debt Collecting Companies they may pass the debt onto for a chase.Β Β  They have zero standing.Β  They are good at using their letters and techniques to play phycological games but it is like Tennis, if they hit a ball over the net at you don't hit it back.Β  They will be in for a doodoo game then!

Β 

5. DO advise them of any change of address so they don't send Court papers or important correspondence to an old address.

Β 

6. DO get back on here if you receive a letter before action.

Β 

7. DO (Optional).Β  Might be worth doing a Subject Access Request to Aqua to see what data they hold about you.Β  Would reveal stuff that might be useful later such as default date (helps to calculate the statutory Bar date) and other things.Β 

Β 

Nothing nasty can happen until AFTER they have successfully won a County Court Claim, which is usually very very hard work for them and mostly impossible if you follow the advice here.

Β 

I have benefited from loads of advice from here and like to add my own from experience to help others.
