    • Documents arrived today dated 27th March.  This is a cc taken out a long time ago (2008) and they don't seem to have been able to provide a copy of a CCA agreement, just reams of print outs of lines of texts from old bank statements, default notices etc.   
    • Documents finally arrived today from PRA group.  New day have sent me lots of paperwork, copies of default letters and statements, print out of what looks like a CCA that would have been completed on online, IP address as signature.  This debt is not too old, so possible this is the true copy of agreement ?  Not sure what my defence would be beyond irresponsible lending. 
    • pers i wouldn't.. all you need to know is in the posts of that thread....that being section 127(3) of the CCA refers. if under a CCA return, the 'creditor' claims its a recon, it must not contain any details like a sig, tickbox, or typed name (whether you signed physically or by online tickbox) 1. those are not necessary in a recon, so why inc them? (faked??) 2, it cant thus be a recon!!, it must be a copy of the 'original' from the original creditor, not from a debt buyers filing cabinet. they shouldn't not be 'mixing' some original docs from the OC with crap from their filing cabinet, claiming its ALL a recon! because some of it is faked. just remember there are far more docs like NOA and a DN that are as equally important to a court claim of 'this debt is enforceable'. never rely solely upon the dodgy agreement argument.

    • 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.

Hi to all on this great site and good luck to everyone reclaiming:)

 

Several months ago I decided to successfully reclaim my bank charges from nationwide it took a while but i managed, now however I have recieved a letter from Lloyds saying my account is overdrawn by £104 this is due to charges as i do not use this account so have decided to now reclaim the hundreds from them from the last 6 years, they have stated in the solicitor headed letter:-| that I have a default from them, I do not remember being advised of this?? so I will press for this to be removed as well. I am now going to send my SAR and the 40 day deadline will start from then.. they have advised me to phone them within 7 days to come to an "arrangement" although I have previously been advised for any correspondence to be written only does anyone think this is right or shall i ring them, come to an arrangement, then start my SAR?? Although i feel quite confident as I have done this before, there are still butterflies and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

this is just my opinion- i am not a expert.

i would start the sar process and if you call them tell them that you have requested sar details as the account is in dispute. they will probably take no notice and continue on the road they are on, this is what abbey have done to me- altho i have been settled, i am still receiving bad letters from their debt recovery company. If its only £100 you could pay it to avoid all the extra crap but i wouldn't reccommend this as its them who owe you money not the other way round. good luck

Thank you for your reply sarah13, I have wrote a letter to Lloyds, I agree I think it needs tweaking a bit but if anyone could tell me if this is ok?

 

Dear Sir/Madam

I write following your correspondence dated 3rd January 2007, I am aware that these charges have been levied to my account, although am still awaiting phone correspondence from the bank manager which was promised during a recent telephone call from one of the branch staff regarding this account. However, as the account is now overdrawn due to unlawful bank charges I shall dispute this and I have sent a Subject Access Request to the branch in order for other unlawful charges to be added. I will also be asking when the default notice was sent and as I have not had any other correspondence in relation to this debt apart from regular monthly statements. I furthermore request that all correspondence now be in writing

If anyone can think of anything else I can put in there it will be appreciated it seems a little vague?? of course i will not be sending this until I have my SAR ready to go. Which has to be within 7 days otherwise they will start court action and I dont want anything else bad on my credit file its bad enough:p

Thanks

You haven't mentioned whether you can realistically afford the £100 to settle the account.

As I see it you have a few options:-

 

a) If you can, send them a cheque for the £100 with a covering letter stating that this payment is being made in terrorum and you reserve the right to pursue them for it through the County Court.

 

b) If you can't (or don't want to) don't be too scared about their threat of Court action, it may actually be quite beneficial. In this instance, write them a letter stating that the account is in dispute, that you refute any allegation that you legitimately owe them this money (state why) and that if they wish to take action against you for it's return, that you will counterclaim for all of the sums that your SAR brings to light, plus deletion (NOT amandment) from your credit history of all entries that reference defaults or bank charges.

 

Make sure that when you send them your SAR you include the addendum for default removal, by the way (it's in the templates library, haven't got the link at the mo').

I'm certainly not an expert, but that's the way I see it. Play the game and don't worry :) just make sure all of your communication is by way of writing from now on (where possible).

Hope that helps!

how does this sound now??

 

Dear Sir/Madam

I write following your correspondence dated 3rd January 2007.

Your letter refers to my account being overdrawn, although as I see this, this account is overdrawn due to bank charges being levied to my account, I refute any allegation that I owe this money legitimately to you as these charges are unlawful. If you wish to take legal action in order to recover these charges I will immediately counterclaim for all the sums in which my Subject Access Request brings to light, plus deletion from my credit history of all entries that reference charges or defaults.

I furthermore request that all correspondence now be in writing.

I shall await your response before sending my Subject Access Request, however if I do not hear from you within the next ?? days I shall go ahead

does this sound too threatening?? or do i need to add more?? or is it ok??

How about this?

Dear Sir/Madam

I write following your correspondence dated 3rd January 2007.

Whilst I concur that my account is currently overdrawn, may I bring to your attention the fact that this is the case is due solely to the punitive charges that have recently (??) been levied on my account.

Not I only do I consider these charges punitive I also consider them unlawful and as such I consider this sum to be in dispute. I am taking steps to have these sums verified and hope that you will enter into sincere dialogue regarding their reimbursement . Your cooperation in this matter would be very much appreciated.

I must warn you at this stage that if you wish to take legal action in order to recover these punitive penalty charges, I will counterclaim for all sums that my Subject Access Request brings to light, plus statutory interest pursuant to s. 69 of the County Courts act 1984. In addition I will seek deletion of all entries that reference charges or defaults in my credit record.

I furthermore request that all correspondence now be in writing to the address at the top of my letter

 

Don't wait for their response b4 senfing your SAR, do it now :)
