    • thanks ae - yes  I understand the claims are between me and the lender.  But with regards to the order for sale the judge specifically said it is the receiver who is appointed to sell - and he hasn't/ and isn't - which is why I am asking if I can apply to the court v the receiver for an order for sale right now?   The receiver is not part of the current proceedings heading to trial.  But he is responsible for selling the property - and he has consistently rejected offers over >5y.   This is specifically why I would like to understand if I can apply to the court to enforce the sale ??? As above - The judge has said otherwise the order for sale v the lender has to be dealt with via the trial.  Which they have deliberately delayed via the adjournment. Valuation is an issue. The lender chose the valuer.  I paid but his report basically belongs to and is referred to by the lender.  He did a prof valuation without doing a site visit.  He had done a site visit 5 months earlier for different potential lender.  The 1st valuation he erroneously did as fh.  He just did a re-write 5m later - but kept the same value for lh. I had a great offer on the table from a niche buyer which would have cleared the loan and given me a lot of £s.  But the lender rushed through the repo and the buyer got spooked and ran.  The lender then slashed the price by 30%+ from their valuation (fire sale price?).  As you suggest - they fully expected potential buyers to quickly grab the property at such a discount.  But it turned out they couldn't.  The market had dropped anyway. Then covid hit.  Every potential buyer was questioning the valuation.  The lender and receivers actions have eroded the equity.  This wouldn't make sense to any normal lender.  99.9% would have just sold to the 1st buyer willing to transact.  The lender/ receiver had such a willing buyer on day 1 of marketing.  But they spent 15months trying not to sell to them.  As I said, disclosure shows the ceo wanted (wants?) to keep it for himself - so common sense didn't (doesn't) prevail.   The lender has made a MoneyClaim v me.  I am disputing it because I maintain it is their actions that has caused the erosion of equity/ a debt to accrue. The lender's problem now is that they have spent so much money and added so much interest over 5y that they cannot sell the property for what they need/ want.  They are trying to blame me for this.  But it is their fault; not mine - because I am not in possession or in charge of selling it. As I also said above - if there is some legal reason why I cannot make an application to the court for an order for the receiver to sell - then can I ask the other entity which has a charging order and threatened to do so. ???    
    • We registered our child with a nursery last year for a June 2024 start date. This was before how the new 15 hours free childcare was going to work. At the time my wife paid a £50 deposit. A few weeks ago they sent out an email about how the new funding was going to work. The nurseries can use it as they wish and they said if the child wants to come for one full day we still have to pay £50 and we can't use all the hours for one day. They also drastically increased their day rate. As a result of this we were looking elsewhere and have found a much cheaper nursery so we are changing.  The original nursery now said you only get the deposit back if she starts because it comes out of the first month of fees. I don't think we filled any any form or anything so there were no terms and conditions. Are we entitled to get the deposit back or is it our fault for not asking what the terms were when we paid. 
    • Hi Baldilocks. Welcome to CAG. I've done some minor formatting edits to your post to make it easier to read for people on mobile. Try to keep to 1 or 2 sentences max before creating a line break in your post. It's the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not the Sale of Goods Act 2015. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 superseded The Sale Of Goods Act 1979 and the latter does not apply as I imagine this purchase was made after 1st October 2015. Can you confirm the make and model of the vehicle? Some vehicles have their service history stored within the on board computers now or have it available to view online at any point. How did you pay for the vehicle? Finance (what type), Debit/Credit Card etc? I would argue, that should the above points not be correct, you would be right to claim that the goods are not as described under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.  
    • Thanks everyone for all your help, but unfortunately my case was dismissed. This is the 2nd time I've had this happen now so I doubt ill be taking on any parking firms in future sadly. The judge said I lost it on the grounds that the sign said I had 28 days to declare who the owner of the vehicle was, and said I should have complied with this.  My costs are Judgment for the claimant £133.33 Issue fee Hearing fee Solicitors costs - total £265 grand total £398.33 Do those costs look about right?

    • 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.

We still have scruples. It wouldn't be very convincing. ;)

 

I wonder if Ken is going to try to convince Joe Public that he is cleaning up his act, though. I found this lot's IP address in my server logs today...

Wow what a huge thread! These giuys are causing sooo much misery and angst. Just wondering if anyone has any answers to the following based on actual experiences through the Courts...

 

1) If a creditor defaults on a CCA request so committing an offence and continues to press (either by letter/phone or by legal action) for repayment of the alleged debt can he be successfully sued for damages?

 

2) Does defaulting on a CCA actually count for anything in the final reckoning at Court? Any success stories?

 

3) Does a "representation" of a notice of assignment which was clearly printed after the fact actually impress a Court enough to accept it as evidence that a real one was genuinely sent?

 

4) Is an illegible and very rough looking photocopy of what was probably a fax or microfiched agreement acceptable as evidence? Anyone managed to get one of those chucked out?

 

5) If a creditor persistently fails to supply copies of credit greements and/or notices of assignments, even flying in the face of multiple CCA requests and CPR Part 18 requests how long can they get away with it without the Court striking the cae out?

 

6) and fianally I promise (for now - wink) has ANYONE ever managed to get a copy of an actual DEED of assignment?

 

By the way, and I'm sad to advise this, but I'm reliably told that even if a case has been struck out the Claimant can still apply for an application to have it reinstated within the following 30 days. The system sucks what can I say!?

yes they can be sued for this

 

2) Does defaulting on a CCA actually count for anything in the final reckoning at Court? Any success stories? Yes it does count and damages can be claimed etc.. through a court

 

3) Does a "representation" of a notice of assignment which was clearly printed after the fact actually impress a Court enough to accept it as evidence that a real one was genuinely sent? I wouldn't have thought so - but I have no experience of this personally

 

4) Is an illegible and very rough looking photocopy of what was probably a fax or microfiched agreement acceptable as evidence? Anyone managed to get one of those chucked out? Not at all - in my hubbies case Cabots had sent us & courts illegible copies of application forms and T&C's -judge was most angry and wouldn't even consider these scraps of paper - see my thread here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/cabot/111844-another-cabot-court-case.html judge has told Hodsons Agent that their clients (cabots) need to get this paperwork in order NOW - he was totally annoyed with the messy illegible copies - he ordered they do present fully legible documents in court. Companies like Cabots need to learn that patience is running out with this messy "crap" being presented to Judges and they'll NOT stand for it at all. Hodsons Agent will tell of her blushes in court when judge screwed his face up at what was being passed off as a CCA was shown - judges want clear legible documents

 

5) If a creditor persistently fails to supply copies of credit greements and/or notices of assignments, even flying in the face of multiple CCA requests and CPR Part 18 requests how long can they get away with it without the Court striking the cae out? they won't get away with it - you can suggest case case is struck out on the basis you made several requests.

 

6) and fianally I promise (for now - wink) has ANYONE ever managed to get a copy of an actual DEED of assignment? I haven't seen a deed of assignment - but there are a few sale agreements knocking about. These don't matter until the comp[any can prove the account is theirs by means of an enforceable CCA - the remainder of the paperwork comes after that point.

 

By the way, and I'm sad to advise this, but I'm reliably told that even if a case has been struck out the Claimant can still apply for an application to have it reinstated within the following 30 days. The system sucks what can I say!?

Well if this is so and a claimant did apply to get case reinstated after strike out - they'd be 100% certain of having their papers in order then wouldn't they? So this would be fine = they'd have a case that they'd win? So this isn't a problem really - just means everything is as it should have been? and the chances of that are :rolleyes: ??? ;)

1) Yes it does. eg Elizabeth1 has a thread running where Cabot's puppies have beentold to get their act together. But There IS no actual agreement to produce, though.Theoretically, yes.

2) Some upcoming cases will hopefully answer this for you.

3) HAHA. See above, and watch this space.

4) Ditto.

5) Just give them one chance through their complaints procedure. When that fails, complain to the FOS. And after that, see what your judge says. He'll likely only give them the one chance too. Enough of those cass, and it's likely Cabot will start to cave rather than face court and all the expenses that entails. But it will need a few wins I think, before the penny starts to drop.

6) Oh, YES. But you would need to ask somebody else about that. I can't name names at this point in time. ;)

 

Last point is correct. But how many times do you think they would WANT to keep coming back for a kicking?

HAHA. SNAP, Elizabeth. :D

 

Brilliant replies - thanks Elizabeth1 & Seahorse.

 

I'm comng to accept that much depends on the judge you happen to get. I was warned that one particular one near me can be a right ............

 

I'll leave you to guess who I got and how I found him! All I can say is that defaulting on CCA 1974 requests, CPR Part 18 requests, AND supplying illegible evidence didn't seem to bother him in the slightest. Fortunatley it was only a hearing for an application - fingers crossed he doesn't turn up on the BIG day! (Or that he takes those matters more seriously at that time)

Now this is interesting. Fredricksons International Ltd came to visit my blog. They think of themselves as being pretty big in the debt collection and purchase industry. I wonder if they were looking for tips on what not to do? Or scoping out the competition? Or what?

 

I notice they talk good sense on their website too. Whether or not this filters down to the coal face, I have no idea. But I liked this bit. . .

 

Fredrickson International Limited has been buying debt since 1992 and has a vast amount of experience in this field. This is a point worth remembering as even once a debt has been sold to a third party, your organisation’s reputation can still be affected. Fredrickson International understands this risk and ensures our clients do not suffer as a result of our actions.

 

It is indeed a point worth remembering. As no doubt Barclaycard can testify, since Cabot seems so intent on dragging them down with them.

I take it you have written to Barclays and informed them of the way Cabot are deficating their name have you? ( despite Barclays pay rolling them into business in the first place - they won't like it) or shall we send them a little CFC mailer?

I'm afraid that Barclaycard will be informed of Cabot's misdeeds in a Letter Before Action prior to have to defend themselves against breaches of the Data Protection Act.

 

But then again, it might be better to mention it in my preliminary letter asking for my unlawful penalties and charges to be refunded, as well as all that interest they charged me without my agreement to do so. ;)

If memory serves Fredricksons International are the bunch that issue proceedings for around 10% of the amount which they claim they are owed (with the provision that they withhold the right to sue for the rest later) presumably because they realise that their case is so weak and the costs are much less to try for 10% and see what happens. Also more chance of a frightened Defendant buckling and paying what seems like an affordable amount. Yep they tried it on me - my defence was rock solid in that it had already been F&F settled, so they withdrew (ungracefully without letting me know). However a year again they had another punt on exactly the same basis. My defence the 2nd time was a little more blunt promising that they would withdraw again exactly as they had the first time. Which they did - again without any sort of notice or apology. I'm waiting for the next attempt - think a 3rd go would warrant me making a counterclaim for compensation for vexacious litigancy and harrassment.

No news, so I thought I'd solicit some from the thread visitors. In particular, the MIB.

 

Do any more of you want to rebel, and throw of the shackles of that Imperialist, Maynard? OK, so that's putting it a bit strong. But seriously, if any of you MIB (and WIB obviously) suddenly find you have a conscience after all, you are more than welcome to contact me. Just drop me an email at [email protected]

 

Inter departmental memos, collection procedures etc, etc all more than welcome to help grow our little library. Nothing copyrighted or confidential, of course. Wouldn't want your boss hauling you up in court now, would we. And in the strictest confidence, obviously. ;)

OK, here we go. I've just gone through my SAR bundle from Barclaycard, and all they have sent me is statements from 2001. I'd almost be prepared to say they mistakenly assumed I was trying to chase them up for unfair penalties. Except they quite categorically state that this is ALL they hold on me. Really? I think I need to resurrect my Barclaycard thread. Opening balance is £3,144.99. But they obviously can't prove how they arrived at that figure. So I will just ignore that. And since that date, I have apparently paid them £2,350. Which I would like back as clearly they cannot prove that I ever owed them the money. Now then. Should I chase Barclaycard? Or Cabot?

 

Decisions, decisions. :D

This could be fun :D

 

I am sure if our good friends at Cabots have been chasing you for monies - they surely "OWN" this account - and we know they'd never ever chase anyone without the correct papers in line would they ? ;) (ROFLMAO)

 

Erm!!! eanie, meanie, minie, mo - for which company should Seahorse go after? NOW THAT'S A FUN DECISION TO MAKE!!

It does really lead me to think that, if BC are telling the truth, then, they have transferred EVERYTHING over to Cabot. WHich MUST mean... Cabot have the DUTIES as well!!! And so the assignment would have been absolute.

 

And THAT being the case... it's CABOT who owe me the money.

 

Right. What I need is an aggressive firm of debt collectors to chase this down for me. Someone who doesn't care if they step outside the law. Someone like.... RUTHBRIDGE!!! :lol:

ANd to think I thought I'd be off down the court today to start action against Cabot. How could I ever have imagined there was stil so much fun to be had. Cabot AND Barclaycard. Lovely. I think I'll start with a complaint to BC today. Give them a chance to suddenly "find" my lost data. I'm busy filling out an ICO complaint form as we speak though, because I don't think they'll be telling me they made a mistake.
