    • statute barring in Scotland is 5yrs from last payment/use date or date of default Notice + 14 days, whichever is the later. dont confuse that with the 6yrs debts show on credit files (DN's 6th bday regardless to payment or not). they'd never get a claim raised by august in 99% of cases . as long all these debts were taken out whilst resident in scotland and you have not moved since taking them out but failed to inform the original creditor before the debt sale....... then stay radio silent until sb date is reached. then if you wish send our scottish sb letter. just remember unlike E&W in scotland debts are extinguished, dead , gone , parrot. once SB'd dx  
    • Hi all, Love this site and it's no nonsense advice, have dipped in and out of the consumer forums over the years, mostly to assure myself that what I was doing was the right thing when dealing with various businesses (almost 100% success rate, thanks in part to reading and more reading here.). Anyway, the time is almost approaching where I might need to ask for some specific help and I have a couple of queries that I can't see definitively answered. Due to financial mismanagement and severe anxiety issues I stopped paying all unsecured debt in December 2018 (one slipped to the first week in Jan 2019 when the last payment was made having rechecked my bank statement from that period - all my unsecured debt direct debits were cancelled in early Jan 2019). This has left half a dozen debts;  a couple of credit cards, a bank loan, Shop Direct and some Hitachi Finance stuff having been sold on and passing the rounds through the usual suspects, Lowells, Link, PRA Group, others related to them, and then back to them again. I have somehow successfully managed to maintain radio silence and avoided anything more worrying than their begging letters.  I have blocked their phone calls and texts, bumped all emails to the spambox and had a chuckle at their desperate letters.  I've never had anybody at the door.  I have been at the same address since before I defaulted and all correspondence comes to my current home address.  I have NEVER contacted them or admitted any debt. In anticipation of them perhaps ramping up action at the last minute I've had a look at my credit report on Credit Karma (rec'd from this very place) and I see that the default dates on these range from May 2019 to November 2019. Also in preperation I've been reading, reading and reading lots here as advised. Obviously being in Scotland there are a lot fewer posts relating to these matters and it's always quite annoying when OP's do not follow up with any outcome on their cases - how rude! This has also left me a bit confused of when I am able to finally breathe easy (although cancelling all the direct debits in Jan 2019 was the biggest sigh of relief as I knew it was all going to be unmanageable and, well, default one, default all.). I've been reading that defaults should be filed 3-6 months after the missed payment but one of my larger debts was defaulted on 27th August 2019 when the last payment I made was 10th December 2018, meaning the first missed payment was 10th Jan 2019.   My query for now is - when should I infer that these debts are prescribed?  From when the payment was missed, or taking the default date plus 5 years from the credit report? The three I have with the May date are moot anyway as either way they are gone  - some letters from Lowell offering me 90% off to settle is what got me thinking these must have been near SB status, however I have one big 10k+ with a July date and another 10k+ at the end of August I am feeling a bit anxious again, even though I know there is nothing to worry about with the begging letters.  Reading the various forums I am not sure why the OC's didn't take action against me when I read time and again the surprise that other posters haven't already been taken to court for lesser amounts - I'm also surprised I've avoided any action this long as there are plenty in this forum and sub forum who are whisked off to the court by the beggers minions after only a year or so after defaulting.  There are no CCJ/decrees listed on my credit report and I have not received any such judgements against me.  I still just regularly receive the begging emails to the spambox, the blocked phone calls and the letters from the they. I'm also reading that there is no need in Scotland to send an LBC so what should I be looking out for to know that the time has come to engage with CCA requests etc? I'm afraid in a fit I threw a lot of the paperwork out but I have a box of stuff I'm going to go through which may have the original letters from the OC's. Thanks in advance for any advice.  
    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help.

    • 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.

JCI/Moriarty PAPLOC now claimform - disputed old Talk talk landline/broadband debt

ok thanks DX

Do I just ignore this letter in that case?  I don't need to do anything with the courts?

It says in this letter dated 2/10/23 that they have placed the account on hold (for 17 days) and that if they have not heard from me by 19/10/23 then judgement by default may be entered against me and that the CCJ will be on file for 6 years.

My mortgage comes to the end of its term in about 6 years and so I don't want to risk have this on file as this could potentially mess up my chance of getting a remortgage (hoping for some sort of financial miracle between then and now to enable me to do this!) but for now i have to try and keep things as clean as possible so that the credit rating is cleared up by then.

Has this got the potential to mess that up? Should i go for the repayment plan?

Just received a letter from Moriartry Law saying

"Following your failure to respond to the county court claim issued in the Northampton county court, a judgement by default has now been entered against you"

- also had a letter through from the court saying 'you have failed to reply to the claim form "Judgement for Claimant" 😫😫😫

I sent the email and got an autoresponse -  I guess they are claiming not to have received that!

Hi Dx -

I've tried calling the court, first time cut of after 21 mins on hold and second time cut off today after 30 mins.  These people are so hard to get hold of - if only I was able to log in to MCOL in the first place!

I've had this from Moriarty law today:

PRE ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION

Our client has instructed us to write to you in relation to the judgment they have obtained against you.

The court has ruled in our client’s favour and made an order for you to repay the above amount by instalments. You are now in breach of the Court Order.

Our client is now entitled to apply to the court to commence enforcement proceedings against you.

Please note that if this is necessary, further costs will be added to the amount you owe and it will be passed back to the Courts to continue with enforcement proceedings to recover the amount now overdue.

Enforcement action we will consider issuing against you if the matter remains unresolved will be:

1.A Warrant of Control, which authorises Enforcement Officers to attend your home or business address to collect payment or goods

2.An Attachment of Earnings Order, which is sent to your employer and authorises funds to be deducted directly from your wages It is still not too late to respond.

if the judge agrees and if they actually do return to court to ASK him...

i can instruct my dog to sit if it does....

you really need to get onto the court, as if its their mistake, all will be undone FOC to you.

Hi dx

I tried calling the court several times at beginning January and got cut off after long wait times.  

Not sure what’s going on there but they are impossible to get in touch with.   I have emailed too.

On January 23rd I sent by RM special delivery a copy of my original email, a copy of their auto response ) which proves it was sent) , a copy of my email chasing, a screen shot of my phone calls inc wait times and dates and included correspondence from morairty law.  

I advised moriartry law the situation and they put a hold on the account.  

had an email from them this week saying hold is due to come off they'd have heard nothing from the court!

Is anyone able to advise me on this.  

Can’t get hold of the court even by special delivery no response to emails and phone calls have dropped after long wait times.  

Now have default on my account and I know this sound petty but Klarna and Clearpay were a lifeline for me allowing to pay for things like school shoes etc over time and because of this default I can’t do this.  

More importantly when my mortgage comes to end of term in about 5 years I’ll never get another mortgage.  

I really wish I’d just paid it off :(

The defence was a week late.

 I tried multiple times to get it done online and every single time it failed.  

I tried calling them multiple times to let them know and could not get through

- I filed by email in the end following advice on here but it was over a week late

I have ADHD so this stuff is very difficult for me to get together 😕

i seriously doubt, knowing that northants bulk were already know to be running at least 2mts behind during that period, that the claim would have been awarded by default by the time you filed defence only 1 week 'late' , we've seen cases months past filing date allow defence filing over the last years almost now.

somethings not right here.

N244 is upto a £275 gamble to get to the bottom of what ACTUALLY happened and to prove this was or was not a court error in not processing your defence email.

that's an assumption upon their behalf, not that they had searched their whole email system and found your defence, but decided as it was a week late they thus rejected it. they would write and tell you so if they had. 

the word SO is the important bit...
