    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

HFC Marbles Card Charges Reclaiming

Hi,

 

I had a Marbles card which had a balance of £2000 with HFC.

 

They offered me a 30% settlement of £600, which i could not afford at that time. They then offered me a £600 interest free 'loan', where i never received any payment but which i pay at £5 pm.

 

A few months ago i had to call them for this loan account and they said you have £1400 on your Marbles card. I told them that account should not exist as it was written off when you gave me the loan i am now paying.

 

At the time of the settlement, i did not receive any letter from them stating that the Marbles card account had been written off or that the default has been removed. I assumed it would all be done as they are offering me a new loan to pay it off.

 

I also have had a few £15 penalty charges on the loan as i got the due date wrong at the beginning.

 

What can i do about this as i am now suspecting the Marbles account was never written off and i am paying them £5 pm for nothing.

 

I would also like to claim charges on the Marbles card and if it has really been written off can i still do this?

Seems to me that you need to send them a subject access request to obtain information about your account.

 

I would use the template from the library but modify it to specify that you wan specific information relating to the loan, what happened to the marbles account.

 

Depending on what turns up you might then consider what action to take.

 

IF you haven't got a thread in the relevant bank forum it might be a good idea to start one so people can follow your claim.

Hi,

 

I've noticed that a lot of my debts have sometimes DOUBLED, i.e. Capital One sent a letter stating £440, then get a letter from a DCA stating £819 after passed onto them.

 

I will obviously claim back charges from Capital One, but these may be £200 - £300 at the most.

 

What can i claim back from the DCA as they have added £400.

 

Thanks.

hello

 

and sorry to sneak into this post!!!!!! but is this true??? that you can claim your charges that you get from the debt collecting agencies??????

 

i have been charged in the past some big charges and some small charges ex: moorcroft add £12 pound each time they send a letter!!

 

so if this is really true could i claim these £12 charges back????????????

This is also news to me!

 

I didn't know we could claim back DCA charges, or even the fact that they charge for sending letters out. I thought all charges are frozen when it gets passed to them, including interest? I've had letters in the past from different agencies, at different times of the year, all asking the same amount.

 

This opens a whole new issue.

 

If we start claiming from the debt agency that is allowing us to pay measly amounts to clear a debt they keep adding to, they won't be too happy. Does this mean they will take more action against us and what happens to the payment agreements we have in place?

If the DCA do not have a CCA, you can claim back all payments you have made to them, since they would have been collected unlawfully. Moorcroft only have until Monday to produce mine... once they have committed a criminal offence as well as defaulting (another calendar month without sending the CCA to me), I will be claiming back all payments over the past 4 years.

well i was just thinking about charges, i recieved a letter from moorcroft and now at the bottom of my letter it says 'please note that we have had to resort to sending this letter and as per the terms and conditions of your agreement we have added £12 to the above balance' i have had previous letters from them that never said that until recently !!!!!!!!

 

so what is this all about are they unlawful penalties from the dca????????/

 

any more help or views on this subject would be helpful

You do not have an agreement with Moorcroft anyway, so there would be no terms and conditions. Have you sent Moorcroft a CCA request ? They have 12 days from the date of (recorded delivery) receipt to supply you with this. After that time, the debt is unenforceable without going to court... and they won't go to court without a CCA.

 

Chances are... they have just bought the debt for peanuts from your original lender. Without the correct paperwork however, all they can do is threaten to do this and that. That statement from them sounds like a fairly typical ploy to get you to think that, unless you pay more of the balance, the debt will increase with each reminder sent out to you. It's bowlarks.

 

Go into the bank template section and look for the CCA request letter. If Moorcroft cannot produce a CCA or Deed of Assignment, then all your payments can be claimed back because they have been collected unlawfully. One step at time... CCA request first.

sorry i dont think that they have bought the debt from the company as at the top of the letter it says ' we are agents of Argos and work with them to collect payment against uncleared accounts'

 

so do you think i should still send a cca request to them ???i have not paid any thing to them yet but made a payment straight to argos

i know moorcroft buys debts because they bought another one of my debts from bt.i know this as i phoned bt who confirmed the ammount of my final bill plus told me that moorcroft had bought the debt

i am querring the ammount they are asking as my last final bt bill was £400 and when moorcroft wrote to me it was just over £500 :???: :???: :???:

yes, because Moorcroft would have put charges on.

 

i got told by Moorcroft on my 2 HSBC debts that they don't buy these, only administer, so thats why i was saying it.

 

if they've bought your debt, then they must have a deed of assignment and an agreement to send you under the CCA.

hi,

 

does anyone know a method of working out the EXTRA interest that has been charged because of penalty charges, for example, ABC cards charge me £60 penalty in a month and the balance is then £1000. They then charge me £20 in interest. How do i work out what the interest should have been on £940 which is the figure minus the charges? This might be £15 in which case i have paid £5 more than i should have (without the charges).

 

Can i then claim this extra interest taken as a result of the charges as well as the charges?

 

thanks.

Hi there,

 

Yes, you claim back the interest they took for the charge as well. You include this interest in your preliminary letter. To work out the interest they've taken on each of your charges, use Vampiress' fab spreadsheets:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/6964-spreadsheet-interest.html

 

(I actually did my own spreadsheet as I enjoy doing things like that. Plus, it was fairly simple as I've been permanently overdrawn for 6 years!)

 

Hope this helps x

Hi

 

Go to the template section then Vampiress's Chambers for copies of spreadsheets which you can use. I've just started my first claim and I'm claiming ;

1. the charges

2. daily interest on the charges (i.e. the amount of interest I have been charged since they were incurred - 22.49% in my case).

3. contractual interest (i.e. they have had my money over the last 6 years so i'm charging them interest at 22.49% for having use of my money).

 

The interest more than doubles the total claim !

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

I agree. Vamps spreadsheets are spot on. Simply enter a list of charges, balances at the time, and bingo!

 

Like bomberbarclay mentioned, i changed the rate to their unauthorised rate. Added a small fortune to the claim (and quite rightly!)

 

Regards

yes, i have the spreadsheet but i didn't see any part to show me what the interest should have been on a lower amount as opposed to what has been charged.

 

anyway, i'll take a look at the advanced version again.

 

i cannot seem to save the spreadsheets after i insert my figures? i have to make a copy for each bank i am going to claim from rather than 'save as' which does not work.

tifo,

 

The spreadsheet automatically works out how much of the interest charged is attributable to penalty charges. If you enter how much you were charged in penalties, then the statement balance and amount paid it calculates how much of the interest charged was due to this penalty. It then totals this up for inclusion in your claim.

 

You do not need to have a 'lower amount' calculation.

 

As for the spreadsheets, you need to make a copy of it, and name it something usefull (I usually append the bank name to the front). It automatically saves changes as you make them. To view all your spreadsheets, goto google docs home. You should see them listed.

 

Hope this helps.

For some reason I am unable to use the spreadsheet on my computer. I feel ill and have a screaming toddler ill as well. As I can't really think straight I went onto a site called quick math looked under %

 

I put in 1.385 of £20.00 comes up with 0.277 times 34 months = 9.418 so for my 1st £20 charge that goes back 34 months at 1.385% (bottom of statement) I am adding £9.41 for interest and so on... so out of my 180.00 charges I have paid 72.28 as some other months are at 1.599% on my statement. I am going to type up letter tomorrow. Has anyone else worked out interest on charges like this??? or am I doing it wrong?

 

This way I only owe Barclaycard £100.00 which I will pay tomorrow get them to write off the rest and then see about removing default.

Just for info really ...

 

How much does court action cost me altogether, for example, on a claim less than £1000 or a (normal) claim less than £5000.

 

I am totally confused as to the fees, because i thought that i paid £80 for a £1000 claim and £120 for a claim upto £5000.

 

But i hear people then paying £100 AQ fee and more.

 

So, how much would i need if i took Bank A to court for £4,000 charges?

 

Do i get exemption on fees or does that not apply?
