    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all

    • 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 refer to my previous thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/69738-credit-agreement-aktiv-kapital.html.

 

I've also just sent the CCA request to Moorcroft Debt Recovery regarding a "Gold Card" which NatWest threw at me the day after I turned 18 because I wanted to buy a car (even though I hadn't even passed my test yet; and which I crashed and wrote-off a couple of months later!). I eventually defaulted on the account about 4 years ago now and it has spiralled so out of control. I'm only paying a tiny amount each month and they have frozen the interest and any new charges thanks to the CCCS but I wonder how much debt (if any) would be left if the charges were reclaimed. Obviously that's my next step if Moorcroft DO come up with a Credit Agreement.

 

Anyway, wondered if anyone had dealt with Moorcroft in relation to getting a copy of the CA? Would be interested to hear what happened.

 

Also - can anyone suggest what I should do if they CAN'T come up with a credit agreement. I understand that the debt is unenforceable in court without a CA but that it will still "exist". And if Natwest or Moorcroft come up with a CA at a later date, then I will be obliged to pay the debt back.

 

That would be fine and i'd accept that as the situation. But i'm concerned that the recent media coverage regarding unlawful bank charges will prompt some sort of reaction by the Courts or the Government and a ruling will be made. I can only imagine that they would not make any decision retrospective for policy reasons, so basically i'd be stuck with all the charges already added. If that is likely to happen - maybe I should just accept the debt with or without a CA and reclaim the charges now while the iron is hot. Because surely if the debt is unenforceable I wouldn't be able to acknowledge the debt by (1) sending the SRA and (2) reclaiming the unlawful charges on it! Or have I just completely made no sense at all?

 

:shock:

 

Can anyone help with this? Thanks so much in advance.

Moorcroft are also one of mine. I found this site after making payments for 4 years. I sent a CCA request in the New Year and heard nothing. My Standing Order was cancelled as soon as they defaulted... and I have still heard nothing !!

 

In my case, the debt was very old (not in a statute-barred kind of way) and had obviously been sold. If you send a CCA request off and the debt has not been sold however, Moorcroft will pass it back to the original creditor and you can then issue a SAR to re-claim any unlawful charges to reduce the amount owing.

 

I suppose you could re-claim your charges without the CCA request, but then, the debt will remain with Moorcroft. Did the balance "spiral out of control" before it was passed/sold to Moorcroft.... or has the balance spiralled while it has been with Moorcroft ?

Hey, thanks for your reply. Yes the debt was vastly over my credit limit before being passed to Moorcroft because of charges from NatWest. I'm not entirely sure if any charges were added by Moorcroft. In any case, no charges or interest are being added at present.

 

I hope you don't mind me asking:

1. How did you find out your debt had been sold to Moorcroft?

2. If a DCA who receives a CCA request doesn't own the debt, are they under any obligation to let me know and/or forward the CCA request to the creditor?

 

Thanks again!

It sounds as if there could be quite a few charges to claim back on yours then.

 

My debt went form the original creditor, to an in-house DCA (owned by the original creditor) and then Moorcroft. The first I knew about it was when Moorcroft wrote to advise me that the accout was now under "our control"... about 4 years ago. They have never really hassled me, but, I now realise that this is probably because they never had the Agreement either !! As the debt has been going on for around 7 years, I assumed that it had been sold to Moorcroft by the in-house DCA and the fact that there has been no docs., proves this point.... or, it could be that because they have had around £1,100 out of me over 4 years... that they have made their money and decided to leave it alone.

 

If the DCA doesn't own the debt, I believe that they would write and tell you that the account has been passed back to the original creditor... or the OC will contact you themselves. You can then issue a SAR to the original creditor to re-claim the unlawful charges, reduce the amount owing and negotiate a repayment plan on the remaining balance.

Got a letter from Moorcroft this morning, as follows:

 

Thank you for your request for a signed copy of the relevant agreement under the CCA. We will contact our client and request the relevant information and ask that it be provided as quickly as possible.

In the meantime however we believe that it may be of assistance to all parties if we also take this opportunity to ensure that any potential areas of dispute are addressed prior to any possible court action or further investigation. Please could you give an indication of the information you will be providing, when giving evidence to the court or providing information to the relevant statutory authorities in relation to the alleged subject matter of the account.

 

Please confirm whether, for example when making a statement of truth in connection with any court proceedings, you will be giving evidence as to whether or not you did not recive the goods/credit ordered.

 

Please could you provide this information by return. We believe that this is a simple request that will assist in ensuring that all possible areas of dispute are identified as quickly as possible and potential costs and delays kept to a minimum level.

 

When I first read this letter, I was quite alarmed but i'm thinking now that that was maybe their intention. By inferring at this stage that if I dispute the account its a given that it will end up in court might be a tactic to try to prevent me from disputing the debt??

 

Am I under any obligation to respond to this letter? If I don't respond, does the time limit for my CA request remain the same?

 

Thanks!

This is just one of their STANDARD Letters. Its up to them to supply you with proof. Its not up to you to tell them how you will be contesting the alleged debt. Ignore it and let them breach the CCA. They know the law and are bluffing in the hope you will back down

Question

 

What happens to the money still outstanding?

 

As I have a debt with argos and then penalty charges were applied - Then received letters from Moorcroft started to pay them and now I have asked them for the CCA

 

If they don't send details who do I pay or don't I owe anyone -:confused:

It all depends on whether the account has been sold to Moorcroft... or just passed to Moorcroft for collection on behalf of Argos.

 

If they are collecting on behalf of Argos, then the account will be passed back and you can deal with Argos directly. If they have bought the debt however, then without the CCA.... they get nothing !

How will I find out if the debt has been sold or Moorcroft as acting as the collectors?

 

I dont think that anything has been entered on my credit file.

 

Will they enter anything at this stage

:-)

 

Moorcroft will either write and tell you that the account has been passed back (very unlikely) or, the original creditor will contact you themselves. If the account has been sold however, then there will be no further contact from the original creditor... and Moorcroft can get stuffed.

 

It may be an idea to get a copy of your credit file from Experian, Equifax and .... there is one other one, but the name escapes me.... You can then see if any defaults have been entered against your name and by which company.

Hi all,

 

I sent Credit agreement request to Moorcroft last week in respect of outstanding balance with Littlewoods and received standard reply today (from what I've read on this thread). Their reply is dated the same day they received the request. Am I right in thinking that I just sit tight and don't need to respond? The 12 working days are not up until 3rd April. Any advice greatly appreciated.
