    • Thank you!    It was bought on my debit card    
    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. 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 as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. 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 £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • 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.

£25-£27k plus bonus for an 18-year-old straight out of school, no degree, no quals as such. It's pretty good going. I would love to know what the turnover rate for staff is for I suspect that they are lured by the bright lights/cash what 18-year-old wouldn't be?

Chavot's MIBs still in action on your blog SH?

 

I'm sure I've posted before on this very subject. According to a leading employment agency, the turnover of staff at Cabot is (perhaps) surprisingly low. But then again, if you're 18 -21 and earning that sort of money (without qualifications) what do you care about people? I'd like to know the average age; it'll no surprise that a majority of staff there are young- what do you really know about life and people at that age? I don't imagine there are many 35+ year old's working there as normal 'collectors' etc..

 

They employ 330 odd at present. Simple maths tell you that if the average wage is £28k then that's a wage bill of nearly £10 million per year. If we get the accounts from the Cabot group of companies and find out what the profits are, it tells you just how many 'customers' they must have.

 

It's my reckoning that only 1% of Cabot's 'customers' know of this website and 99% of their 'customers' don't know their rights. Can you imagine if we could raise the figure from 1% to 50% !!!

I notice several of the Cabot staff have set their myspace and bebo pages to 'private'.

 

:lol: :lol: The MIB must have had a word! :lol: :lol:

 

 

Spoil sports aren't they?

 

Seems it is fine for these clowns to sit there doing Land Registry searches on "account holders" to allow their bosses to bully and cheat money from people - BUT nobody can research these clowns? ha ha ha

 

Not so funny for them when the boot is on the other foot is it? :grin: :grin:

Just imagine being a fly on the wall in the Towers. :D

 

 

Be assured there would have been an internal memo flying around-- Cabot can do this to current staff (emphasis on the word current)- warn them about their blogs etc, but there's more than one way to skin a cat :):p;)

Knew I'd find what I was looking for lol -- I found my other posting, this is what I'd said before about it :

 

It could happen, a recent internal study revealed that Cabot- at their Kent site- has a 21% staff turn over (Oh, and a 3% sickness record).

Kind of makes me glad I kept copies of those pages for future reference!! ;) Never know how they'll come in useful do we?

 

Amazing how Hannah NOW LIKES HER JOB "It's a lot of money for so few hours" she has realised now - bit different from the "I'm bored - looking elsewhere" comment she'd written earlier :o Amazing how we change our outlook isn't it?

 

Oh!! to be young and carefree!! :p

Announcement: If anyone from Cabot is having difficulty accessing my blog from work, please accept my sincerest apologies. But you really should be knuckling down and getting on with your work.

 

Now then, Mr Maynard. That should increase productivity, therefore boosting your profits.

 

That will be £3,000 for my consultancy fees, please.

 

What do you mean, you won't pay????? Oh dear, I think I need to pass this debt on. Ruthbridge sound like an ideal firm to tackle the likes of you. Firm, but polite.

 

HAHAHAHAHA

C-hoss, Mr Maynard is quoted as saying that Cabot increased it's turnover by £1 million pounds in a year through staff incentives etc - that's a wee bit less than £2740 per day, you're overcharging him !!

Staff incentives - do you mean they have to lie, bully, cheat, and generally disregard the law, or be sacked? Or do you mean exceed their targets, and they'll get a prize?

Hmmmmm.

Doesn't that make you all warm inside to know that the money they have conned everyone out of is going to those lovely young, intelligent, well bred people we see in Seahorses Blog (getting p ****ed and growing suspicious plants) in new Mini's and holidays. Can't you just rejoice at the thought of it :mad:
