    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB

    • 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 all,

Still had nothing back from lowell after sending cca request 9 days ago, but have now received a letter from HAMPTONS legal, saying that if i dont pay up that they will take me to court etc........ what do i do now, should i send Hamptons and Lowell Financial a copy of the letter i sent to Lowell

Portfolio or do i sit and wait it out.

 

Do you think that LP will have informed LF and Hamptons.

When you say cca them all, do you mean literally or just send copies of the cca that i sent to Lowell Portfolio or have i got to send postal orders as well to lowell financial and Hamptons. I am getting annoyed with it all now. :mad: whats the point in doing cca's if they ignore it.

Hi

 

Hamptons are just a 'trading style' of Lowell Financial and so are one and the same! I would just send a letter to Hamptons telling them that you do not acknowledge any debt to Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd (they are the legal owners of the alleged debt) and that you are still waiting for them - LP1 Ltd - to comply with your request under CCA s77/78. Don't remind them of how much time is left - don't want them hurrying now do we! ;)

Hi Pam,

Thanks for replying, so are you saying to send a simple letter stating what you have just put in your thread to me, is that sufficient pam, do i send any copies of my cca request that i sent to LP or not, or any £1.00 postal order fee's.

Hi

 

You could attach a copy of your original CCA request to LP1 Ltd to your letter, just for clarification, but you do not need to CCA Lowell Financial or Hamptons or send them any money - neither of these are the new creditor - LP1 Ltd are, and it is they who must comply even though it's LF/Hamptons who are doing the chasing of this debt.

Have a good read around the other threads. Do a site search for CCA and you see that it's mentioned all over the shop. Basically, it's a request to a creditor to supply you with a copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement you would have signed (maybe, if you did at all), to show that you actually have an agreement that they are entitled to chase in the first place. Without such an agreement, they cannot enfore the debt (which is not to say they might not produce it later and take you to court). BUT, it will place the debt in dispute, stopping interest and penalties accruing, and buy you time to explore other avenues. Such as, is any part of the debt made up of unlawful charges? Could those charges if recovered go some way to paying off the debt? All areas to think about.

I rang national debtline and they said to do the statute barred letter rather than the proof of debt, what do you think ? trouble is I dont think its quite six yrs from last payment, but almost i am sure.

 

Not heard from anyone else who's had dealings with Lowell Financial.

 

Would appreciate other people's dealings with these people PLEASE PLEASE.

Chaplinsbabe, send the a CCA request with a £1 postal order. Included with

the original agreement should be a statement detailing the original debt, your payments made to date, any missed payments and the amount left to pay. so you might be able to glean how much in charges hace been added.

 

Neonron, you can do the same thing, but start up your own thread on the

subject as both your cases might end up going different ways.

 

You will find a template letter for the CCA request in the General Debt section.

Once there find the "sticky" subsection- tyhe last post there is the one you want [by Barracad] and then send them letter N. Make sure that it is headed

"I do not acknowledge the debt" just in case it is already out of date. And

insist they do not use the postal order to reduce the debt.

Hi all everyone,

Well this is the moment I have dreaded.:eek: ....

... I received a reply today from Lowell's and they have enclosed 2 documents 1 for each account,

 

 

They both say on them Barclays Application form, on the ordinary VISA its definately an application form as all my job and marital details are on there dated April 1985,

 

 

but on the Mastercard Application form it does say on the left handside in a SMALL BOX "credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974" and signed by me dated 8.5.91 and then my rights to cancel etc, and then below that it says signed on behalf of barclaycard, for official use only (not dated by them)

 

 

I already had an ordinary visa card at this time, so this was offered to me as an existing customer, they have given me 7 days to respond, I have received no statements at all from them, so not sure when my last payment was, but i do know that its statue bard this year...... WHAT SHALL I DO NOW..........its all been in vain.

Hi

 

Can you scan or photograph the documents and post them up here (blanking any personal info)?

 

Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

 

You can register on this site (used by many CAGers) then follow the instructions to upload. Once the image is uploaded photobucket gives the image an IMG code - you simply copy the IMG code into the CAG forum. It's easy - so I'm told!

Hi again

 

I've noticed that you've already said on this thread that you don't have a scanner, so if you haven't got a suitable camera either then you need to check the following on each of these documents:

 

Read all the print carefully and see if ALL of the following are present on each:

 

The Credit Limit (or a statement saying how it will be decided and notified to you)

 

The Interest Rate

 

The amount/frequency of repayments.

 

If ALL of these prescribed terms are not present then the document is totally unenforceable.

If any of these terms are missing, send them a suitably adapted version of my suggested letter in Post 2 in the following link:

Hi Pam,

 

Thanks for replying, here is what they have sent to me, one is just an application form and the other one is a combined application and agreement by the looks of it, don't know whether its a fully executed document as you said in your last post. please have a look at this for me, and post back as soon as you can, I am so tired with all of this

Hi

 

I'm afraid the images are too small for me to be able to read them (even when clicking to enlarge) but they both appear to be applications to me.

 

The crucial test is the inclusion of all of the prescribed terms as listed in my previous post. If either document does not include all of these then it is totally unenforceable, irrespective of whether it's actually a 'real' agreement or not!
