    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONFIDENTIALITY The prices of the Goods and other information contained in this Agreement is confidential and will not be disclosed by either party unless with prior written consent of the other party. INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please 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.

I have sent an Acknowledgement of Service to the Court, and also a CPR letter to Turnbulls, but I wondered what - if anything I should do to prepare for this? I am terrified of "court proceedings",and can't afford to take time off work to go anywhere as I am temping and don't get paid if I take time off.

dont worry rosie you have sent the CPR so for the time being you cant do much apart from inform the court that without the requested information from both HFO AND TURBULLS their is nt anything you can put down but when you are ready for action we will then help you prepare your defence

will be in touch in a day or so ok

Hi Burt,

 

I can understand that you were probably more than a little surprised and shocked to receive the Court claim and are wondering what you should do. I know that Stan is trying to help but he has given you incorrect information.

 

You absolutely have to file a defence to this claim, otherwise if you don't, the claimants will simply apply and get, judgment by default once the time for you to submit your defence has passed. It is in no way sufficient for you to simply write to the Court and state this matter is disputed. Your defence must counter each point of their claim and not by simply stating the money is not owed. If it is not owed you must substantiate that with reasons. If you do not address each point of their claim, it will be assumed by the Court that you admit liability, for anything unchallenged.

 

You can at this stage file an acknowledgment of service, which is self explanantory. So if you got it yesterday, you have 14 days to do this. At that point you can take a further 14 days to file your defence, so 28 days in total.

 

It is not necessary for you to send a CCA and DPA request and it would be unwise to do so. Now that this is the subject of legal action, you can simply send the claimants a letter, requesting all that you require and giving them 14 days to provide it. Personally I would do this after you have filed your defence (trust me). All parties to a case are legally obliged to furnish info requested (provided its a reasonable request) that is relevant to the case. This is under the disclosure rules. So, if you did as I suggest and they didn't comply, you would send a letter to the Court with an application notice, stating that you are unable to file a counter-claim until the claimants furnish the info. You would ask the court to compel them to comply. The Judge might give them 7-14 days, if they failed to comply at that point, the Judge would probably throw out their case. So in terms of getting info, its much better to do it this way, it takes less time and if they don't comply you may get their case chucked

out!:D

 

In terms of the counter-claim, if you cannot file one due to a lack of info, then you would simply file it with an application notice, not forgetting (under any circumstances) to ask the court's permission to file the counter-claim in due course. You would simply explain in an accompanying letter, why you are filing it late. I filed a counter-claim in a case 4mnths after the other party started action, it was accepted because I was waiting for info and at that time I was new to things so went down the CCA DPA route, without needing to!:eek: You must always politely request things however, whatever you ask for is read by a Judge and they expect deference! Whatever you do, don't get on the wrong side of a Judge! So when in doubt, always ask for permission to do something!

 

So ask for a copy of the agreement, a deed of assignment (proves the debt's been sold) statements for the lifetime of the a/c. If you were pestered by B/Card and this company, ask for details of all calls made to your home/work numbers, frequency of calls (dates, times etc) any notes about discussions had with them, the tel numbers also for all depts involved in pursuing you, you get the picture... Get as much info as possible to build a case against them. If they've engaged in harassment, that is both a civil and criminal offence and you can claim compensation. You might even want to report them to the Police, when you've got the evidence!

 

Whatever you do don't leave this situation, if you fail to file a defence, they will win and you will have to pay up, that's the way it works, I'm afraid!

 

I hope this is helpful for you!

 

Laiste.:)

I wrote to Trading standards about HFO.

They have today contacted me with regard to making a statement, as they are most interested in prosecuting them.

The guy from TS is visiting me during 2nd week of July (he is on hols for 2 weeks from now) - he is absolutely furious that harrassing telephone calls caused me to change my phone number which I have had for 20 years.

He is also incensed by the way that HFO get details - eg send a card from First Direct Logistics, then send you the claim for payment.

I will keep you informed.

Hi I have done the same today. I sent HFO letter below can anyone tell me if i have done the right thing?? I sent it special delivery so i can track it.

 

Dear Sir/Madam

I do not acknowledge or recognise your company as owning this debt I have not been contacted by Barclaycard at any point to inform me that you are acting on their behalf and as such will not enter into any financial arrangements with you until this is verified.

 

With reference to the above, I request that you would send me a copy of the original CCA, legal assignment letter from Barclaycard and a full statement of account showing how these charges have been accrued.

 

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77−79), I am legally entitled to receive a copy of my credit agreement on request. I enclose a payment of £1.00 which represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act.

 

I understand a copy of my credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days and no action can be taken against me until this request has been satisfied.

 

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the Act.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

Hi harrodine

Welcome to CAG

If you start your own thread you will get all the advice and help you need.

The CCA letter is a good start, but do not expect to much from these muppets.

Can you post some details of the story so far .

 

All for now

I phoned welcome finance and they said that a loan was taken out for £1000 in july 2004 and wasnt paid. I accept responsiblilty for this and would like to clear it but the aggressive woman from hfo wanted me to make unreasonable payments each month and wouldnt budge, i had to leave work last year due to serious family problems and am on family tax credit with 4 children and dont no which way to turn.

Hi ndavenport. I suggest the best thing to do first is start a new thread for your case. This is quite an old thread and your case could easily be "lost". So start a new thread, and you will get loads of help and advice from the people here.

 

I am not legally trained at all, but I recently won a case against HFO with help from people here. So I would say, most important things first are try not to panic,and NEVER speak to any of these people on the phone - tell them you will deal in writing only.

 

There are several template letters on this site that you can print off to help you. One is something called a CCA Letter, which asks HFO to provide a copy of your original credit agreement. Without that, they cannot make any case against you, - and there is also a "telephone harrassment" letter that you can send if they keep on phoning you.

 

But please start your own thread - you will get more help that way. And good luck:)

Could explain why they still haven't paid me my costs that I won in my Court Case against them last month?! I've been meaning to chase it up, but, at the same time, I'm almost tempted to "let sleeping dogs lie", as I'm not paying them, and they're not chasing me anymore.

perhaps the most effective action you can take rosie is to report this company to the FSA FOS AND a complaint to the court Balliff and ask the baliff to enforce the order for costs this way we can go for the trading licence and credit licence

Firstly, you will need to start your own thread on this to get the help you need. Having your own thread keeps you visible.

 

Go here -

and then scroll to the bottom. On the left, you will see the new thread button.

 

Secondly, if "Owen Harry" is your real name, I would strongly advise nuking your account and starting again. The use of real names as usernames is not recommended, as you will be flagging your moves to debt collection agencies and anyone else who wants to look in. And yes, they DO look in.

 

Cell phone contracts are more complicated as I don't believe they are covered by the Act in the same way.

 

Talk of bailiffs is just a scare tactic. Bailiffs only become involved if you have a CCJ and default on it.

 

Start your own thread, and we'll help you as much as we can.

Hi guys, i receivied a letter today from Turnbull Rutherford solicitors who say they're acting on behalf of HFO who claim they bought my 'debt' from Welcome finance and if i did not pay they were applying to the ****y court to put a charge against my property, preventing me from selling and gaining any equity from it, apply for an attachment of earnings and be charged 12% interest pa until the debt is paid. They dont even know if i own any property.

 

According to Michael Hardy, from Turnbull's say that i took out a loan from welcome to the tune of £14,000, for a car. they have also added additional interest £3,889 thereby owing them the sum total of £10,717. i informed them that ive never heard of welcom, let alone taking out and owing a car to the tune of £14,000. They then asked for my contact details and whene i refused to give it to them but offered to call them back tomorrow, they said it would take several weeks for them to access the original debt! With that he said, well good luck.

 

I contacted welcome myself, who state they have NEVER given my name to HFO and moreover, the details on their files, while similiar are not the same and that i would have to speak to HFO direct. Tried to contact this company only be met by voicemails. What can I do any suggestions?
