    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

ROM soccerleagues limited T/A Soccersixes/ICON DCA attempting to collect Debt


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,

I signed up a team for Soccer six’s around 2 years ago. However, towards the end of the second season we were struggling to get numbers.

I got in touch with the league manager and informed him this would be our last season as we were struggling to get numbers. There was no response from the league manager.

A week later I messaged the league manager asking for a date for the end of the season as due to our local team playing at the pitch, the online fixtures were not up to date and only updated a week before. Once again, I was ignored.

A week or so later another text was sent out to the league manager, this time it stated ‘this will be our last season. If there is anything we need to do in order to leave the league, please let us know’. The league manager ignored this text again. In fact, they sent a message to me regarding our next game around ten minutes after this text. Which made it obvious I was being ignore.

Multiple texts were sent out to the league manager requesting the date for our last game as we intended to leave. However once again, surprise. We had no response. Unfortunately, we didn’t realise when our last game was being played. Once we did, I wrote a formal written notice to the league to withdraw from the season. 

Around 1 week passed, and I received a text off the league manager to confirm our team would play the next game. I informed him we had withdrawn from the league and would no longer be in the playing. For once the league manager replied and informed us we had not given the 2 weeks’ notice which is stated on the terms and conditions.

I responded to the manager by forwarding the email I sent to his personal email and informing we had informed him multiple times we wanted to withdraw from the league with no response and we were ignored when queried the process of leaving the league.

I was barraged with phone calls from the manager which I declined. I text them stating I wanted everything be in written communication from now on. As reading from other threads I could see this could possibly be a scare tactic. His Response was ‘ok’.

Fast forward to 25/02/2024 I received a text of a debt collection company named ‘ICON’

The text as reads.

We have been appointed by ROM soccerleagues limited T/A Soccersixes as their debt recovery specialist regarding your overdue balance with them.

I then received an email from ICON which reads.

Re: ROM Soccerleagues Limited T/A Soccersixes

       Amount Due £825.44           

We have been instructed by ROM Soccerleagues Limited T/A Soccersixes to commence formal debt recovery proceedings against you.

Please take notice this matter now requires your immediate attention.

Should you wish to avoid a COURT SUMMONS being served at your address, payment must be made immediately.

You can manage your account online where you can make payment in full by logging into www.iconcollections.com and selecting MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT. Please enter the reference number stated exactly as above along with your post code to enter our secure portal. This service is available 24 hours a day, however, further payment options are available on the reverse of this notice for your convenience.  

You have previously been provided with a detailed breakdown of this outstanding debt. Should you require any further information, please contact our offices without delay. 

In accordance with Pre-Action Protocol and bearing in mind it is our client’s intention to bring this matter to Court, we have enclosed the required documentation necessary. 

Please note that any Court action issued may result in additional costs and interest being incurred against you and your credit rating being seriously affected.

Yours faithfully

Collections Department

Obviously when I received this email, I was concerned as what I need to do. I understand I did not read the terms and conditions of soccer sixes until it was too late which was a silly mistake.

However, disregarding that there was no communication with the manager when I enquired about leaving the league and no communication in other manners. I have not received a price breakdown or a warning as why they are wanting £825.44. 

I was considering writing a dispute letter to ICON Collections regarding the debt.

I have read other threads regarding soccer sixes. However any advice on how I should act regarding this matter would be appreciated. 

Thank you, 

T

letters like a letter of claim etc cannot be issued by email unless you have previously specifically stated so and only by the owner of a debt, a DCA chasing on behalf of their stated client, the owner cannot issue one, it's just a scare tactic.

ignore everything 

block txts and email addresses and phone numbers never respond to anyone 

nothing they can do.

Good afternoon, 

Following on from my previous post. I have received multiple calls and texts from both the debt collection company and the league manager himself. 

I am still going to ignore it due to your advice. However, I wanted to keep this post updated for anyone in similar circumstances and make sure nothing has changed regarding my response. 

I received a letter in the post from ICON collections. This was the same content as the post above. 

I received a further email from the Debt Collection company stating ;

We have today received your file from our Pre-Legal Collections Department with a view to issuing a Court Summons against you in respect of the above debt.

Despite several reminders we have been informed that you have failed to contact us with a view to settling this debt.

We will now commence a formal investigation by assessing your credit score which includes searching your current address and employment status.

Should you wish to avoid the above action being taken, paymentmust be made immediately by calling us on 020 8315 2400 or accessing your file online at www.iconcollections.com and selecting MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT.

Please enter our legal reference number exactly as stated above along with your postcode to enter your account securely. Payment can also be made directly into our Clients Bank Account, using the following;

I also received quite a humorous text form the league manager.

The text as follows, 

Hi mate, 

Just so you're aware your dent for the full season has been passed onto Icon Collections as they have now instructed to recover the fees for the season.

I am just reaching out to try and resolve the amicably. 

We can get the debt you currently owe wiped aslong as your team continues in the league until a replacement team is found. 

Please contact me urgently so we can let Icon Collections know they do not need to recover the fees. 
 

Please advise if I need to change my approach to this situation. 

Once again thank you, your advice is appreciated. 

Regards,

T

Block all the calls, and report all of the texts to 7726.

Any emails, block and bounce them.

Keep a diary of the harassment from the clown outfit icon with a view of reporting them for the offence of harassment, and feasibly malicious communications. 

No such thing as pre legal blah blah, and pre litigation blah blah, that's just a powerless immature DCA trying to give the impression that they're important and need to be taken seriously making up names for departments that don't exist. Fools.

 

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hello

I’m also going through the same at the moment for £300. Icon went quiet for a month or so but just received another text this morning to say “Notice of likely CCJ/Enforcement due to non-payment”.

I’m still ignoring as per all of the threads on this but every time I get a text I still like to have a read up just to check advice hasn’t changed so good to read this thread!

Thanks

Hello again, 

Quick update regarding the situation. 

I stopped receiving phone calls and texts from ICON Debt Collections.

However, just like Ojm_1994 i received a text this morning stating ' Notice of likely CCJ/enforcement due to non-payment. please call our legal team urgently' and received an email which said the following; 

'Further to our previous correspondence, our investigations indicate you continue to be linked at the following address according to the UK Database.

XXX

Following instructions from our client, we are now preparing to issue legal action against you.

In the event of non-payment, we will apply to obtain a CCJ (County Court Judgment) against you, which will result in the High Court Bailiff attending the above address in an attempt to either secure payment or remove goods.

Our Enforcement Team can be contacted on 020 8315 2400 or you can access your legal file via our website www.iconcollections.com by selecting MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT to make payment by Debit or Credit Card.

Please enter our legal reference number exactly as stated above along with your postcode to enter your account securely.'

As stated above I'm going to continue to ignore these unless advised otherwise.

I will keep this thread updated with any further information which may help other people in this situation. 

Any further advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks, 

T
