    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.
    • Still worried about time order - they have not followed procedures. Looking through lists there are some items not been sent, incorrect leaflets sent.  emails sent and we’ve not received. Texts and emails sent and not completed process. Pages worth.  The worst thing is the phone calls. Not got more than 8 minutes of most.  it’s so unfair.  Have sent them emails offering to pay right back to March. All arrears were paid back.  2 payments since.    what other info do you require from me ?

    • 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.

This company above gave me a Default on my credit file for a debt from capital one.

 

I sent this company a CCA and £1 and how long do they have to respond and if they dont what is the next step?

 

They gave me a default for a debt that was from a credit card not from them and i never signed anything from this company or got notifed about getting a default.

 

Now i got a letter from another company saying the above company has sold the debt onto them and now there chasing it.

 

Can anyone help please

after 12 days the agreement is unenforceable and after 28 days it is a criminal offence. Maybe not paying them could be a good idea.

Your thread moved here.

First of all you should send an s10 notice to the original creditor Cap 1.

This will be useful, later if you decide to launch County Court action for removal.

LP should have informed you that the debt had been transferred......We do need a little more info tho.

When did Cap 1 sell this debt to LP ?

Are there unlawful penalty charges involved wholly or in part with regards to this debt.

At any point have you acknowledged liability for the debt and if so what were arrangements/responses from you and LP ?

Have the new owners been in contact ?

My guess is that LP could not supply the info from your CCA request so offloaded.

They should be reported to your local trading standards and also the FOS.

From what you say you already have enough to take steps to put an end to this,and there is legislation in place to do just that.

Unfortunately if you read some threads in this section you will clearly see that DCAs are not interested in playing ball.

It would be interesting to hear from other members who have had dealings with LP too.

Correct me if I am wrong but I understood the CCA request and timescales are only valid on Live consumer credit Act agreements and not one that accounts have been closed and passed for debt collection. That's how I understood it from some threads on here.

 

Hope that helps

Hello,

I'm new too and not found out how to make a new thread. but i'm also having a problem with Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd.

They say i owe £156.13 and are acting on behalf of O2. I haven't been with O2 since 2004.

They sent me numerous letters from Red debt collection services and Hamptons Legal.

In response I sent them the recommended letter where you ask for a copy of the credit agreement according to the Consumer Credit Act (CCA) 1974.

However they replied saying that the account agreement I ask for is not regulated under the CCA 1974 and that they are under no obligation to do so.

So now I dont know what to do as they have threatened me with county court proceedings and additional fees for legal proceedings.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Mobile Phone agreements are not generally covered by the CCA. HOWEVER Lowells must provide you with WRITTEN proof of the alleged debt and their right to collect its.

 

Do please start a new thread of you own and we will help you sort them out

Have they actually got a CCJ (County Court Judgement) or is it just a DEFAULT. There is a huge difference

Thank you everyone for your response. I wasn't sure if i was going to get a reply.

Anyway I managed to start a new thread, thanks to Kholo.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/145356-lowell-portfolio-1-ltd.html#post1530884

 

But in response to ODC, the letter says "Legal proceedings may now be issued and served upon you without notice through the county court which may then incur you with payment of the following costs: " and they basically go on to list a load of extra costs for solicitors and court fees.

so does this mean it is a CCJ or default?

 

thanks again for your help.

This is bog standard Lowell Bovine Excrement. First of all they have to PROVE a debt exists. Then if you refuse to pay it they MAY take you to court and if they do they MAY be successful and a court MAY order you to pay the debt and the court MAY award costs to Lowells. If you re-read their threatomatic letter you will see that just as in my reply there are an awful lot of IFs and MAYs in their letters.
