    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • 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.

If they have failed to supply copy agreement, as requested, after 12 working days they are in default, and can not enforce. The fact that they have told you no agreement exists, means that they can never comply, and therefore can not enforce.

 

Consumer Credit Act 1974 s78

 

(6) If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1)—

 

(a) he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

 

(b) if the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

Please note: I give advice, in good faith, based on my reading and experience. Please satisfy yourself, that any advice given is accurate in content before acting upon it.

I don't think so.

 

Dear Moorcroft

 

As in your previous correspondence, you have stated that due to the age of the account, there is no agreement.

 

I would refer you to section 78 of The Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

78 Duty to give information to debtor under running-account credit agreement

 

(1) The creditor under a regulated agreement for running-account credit, within the prescribed period after receiving a request in writing to that effect from the debtor and payment of a fee of £1, shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement (if any) and of any other document referred to in it, together with a statement signed by or on behalf of the creditor showing, according to the information to which it is practicable for him to refer,—

 

(a) the state of the account, and

 

(b) the amount, if any, currently payable under the agreement by the debtor to the creditor, and

 

© the amounts and due dates of any payments which, if the debtor does not draw further on the account, will later become payable under the agreement by the debtor to the creditor.

 

 

(2) If the creditor possesses insufficient information to enable him to ascertain the amounts and dates mentioned in subsection (1)©, he shall be taken to comply with that paragraph if his statement under subsection (1) gives the basis on which, under the regulated agreement, they would fall to be ascertained.

 

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to—

 

(a) an agreement under which no sum is, or will or may become, payable by the debtor, or

 

(b) a request made less than one month after a previous request under that subsection relating to the same agreement was complied with.

 

 

(4) Where running-account credit is provided under a regulated agreement, the creditor shall give the debtor statements in the prescribed form, and with the prescribed contents—

 

(a) showing according to the information to which it is practicable for him to refer, the state of the account at regular intervals of not more than twelve months, and

 

(b) where the agreement provides, in relation to specified periods, for the making of payments by the debtor, or the charging against him of interest or any other sum, showing according to the information to which it is practicable for him to refer the state of the account at the end of each of those periods during which there is any movement in the account.

 

 

(5) A statement under subsection (4) shall be given within the prescribed period after the end of the period to which the statement relates.

 

(6) If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1)—

 

(a) he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

 

(b) if the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

 

(7) This section does not apply to a non-commercial agreement, and subsections (4) and (5) do not apply to a small agreement.

 

As no agreement exists, you may not take enforcement action.

 

P.S. I would recommend you read;http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legalities/25668-curious-twist-two-cca.html

I sent off for my copy of cca and received a letter from Moorcroft saying that they are asking Argos for a copy of the cca. That tells me that they don't have a copy at all.

 

They are also state that *(Extract of letter )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 your court proceedings you will be giving evidence as to whether or not yu did not receive 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 are kept to a minimum level.

 

What does all this mean and do I have to respond?:confused:

Waffle.

 

All you are asking for is a copy of the executed agreement, until they provide that, you should not correspond with them.

Speaking from bitter experience with argos/moorcroft i would try to keep things direct with argos as once moorcroft get involved the court action follows pretty soon afterwards.

Argos are not unreasonable but are prone to telling porkies about who owns or is dealing with what.

My advice would be, don't trust what argos say on the phone.. get everything in writing and DON'T trust moorcroft at all!

If cabot do own the debt you will have had a letter stating this from argos, if not then it will be moorcroft who are collecting on behalf of argos .

I've been through exactly the same thing as you and i am still trying to get to the bottom of it 3 years later!!.

If argos will not accept payments then set up a reasonable and regular payment with moorcroft and they will leave you alone, but ignore them and things get sticky very quickly where this little group is concerned.

oh jeez doesnt sound good.

 

well as i said i sent ripped off's letter today 1st class recorded, and also one that is VERY in depth that turnaround has sent me will be sent in the morning. im hoping they get them on monday morning, they will have no doubts where we stand regarding this stupid account!

 

a letter has been sent about 10 days or so ago to argos asking for who is dealing with account, there is no agreement so i think it only matters from a data protection point of view :)

If it DOES get to court, and they ask the same question again about goods received/ordered, Just simply state that this is not relevant, as you do not acknowledge any debt whatsoever unless and until they produce the agreement. DON'T let them get you to admit to ANYTHING, in writing or otherwise. Twisty twisters that they are.

Just thought id start a new thread about my experiances with these [edited].

 

The debt is with argos. had been paying them for around a year when partner had to cut hours and could no longer pay as much.

Letter arrived saying debt is now with us, from moorcroft.

Had payment plan for around a year with moorcroft.

Then i found this site and sent a CCA to moorcroft.

Within days a letter from Cabot saying we now need to pay the debt to them, not moorcroft.

Rang Cabot, they say moorcroft own the debt.

Rang Argos, they say moorcroft own the debt.

CCA sent to Cabot in late Dec, no reply to date.

Letter sent to argos to confirm in writing who has this debt.

Letter from moorcroft... theres no agreement due to age of debt, please call now, debt on hold until march 5th. we ignored.

Letter again from moorcroft, notice of intended litigation. reply wanted by march 12th. letter sent recorded delivery on friday, then much more in depth letter sent today (sat 10th)

 

nothing yet from argos or cabot.

 

I'll keep posting back, Turnaround is helping with letters etc, but such a confusing situation!

can i just ask, if it DOES go to court, do i appear in court? or is it all paperwork? is no cca compliance a good enough defence? sorry court totally panics me :(

 

If you don't appear, your case will lose a lot of credibility

 

Don't get the wrong idea about court.

 

You are not on trial. It usually takes place in a nice relaxed atmosphere, the judge listens to arguments and reads documents, he/she then makes a decision. No black caps, no policemen. The judge is only there to act as a referee.

 

You can take a friend with you, or look at the buddy system on this site.

 

If you don't fight, you can't win.

Hey.. Don't worry moorcroft are totally useless, make sure your paperwork is watertight and you'll probably end up having a good laugh at moorcrofts expense but bear in mind i have been through exactly the same as you are now and three years down the line.. no court..no answers..no worries:D

There is a lot of talk about court on here. Personally, Moorcroft have not complied.... so don't pay them anything. CCA Cabot and if they don't comply either, have nothing more to do with them. In order to cover yourself against legal action, I would CCA Argos as well.

 

One way or the other, you will find out who owns the account.... or not. In which case, if no-one has the CCA, you don't pay anyone anything until someone can comply with your request ! It is a criminal offence to commence enforce payment action while an account remains in dispute.

 

They would be very silly to commence court action.... knowing that you would defend on the basis of non-compliance with a CCJ. It doens't stop them from issuing threats though.

HI there

 

They cant take you to court because they dont have an agreement. No agreement - no debt!!!!

 

They have breached the CCA and they know it!!!! They are just trying to frighten you now.

 

I think I would be reporting this to Trading Standards and the FSA now. This will give you leverage if (and I dont think they will!) they take you to court. Also, these people need to be reported for underhanded behaviour.

 

Good luck

Annie

Sorry, don't mean to scaremonger.

Argos are prone to being a little slippery and are not adverse to instructing more than one dca to collect on behalf of them so getting the correct info is paramount and sometimes quite difficult.

personally i seriously doubt if cabot own the debt and moorcroft will be collecting on behalf of argos, thats why i say deal with argos direct if you can and cut the dca's out until you absolutely have to deal with them.

PriorityOne.... Argos told moorcorft there is no agreement, and i have that in writing. ;)

 

Has anyone asked moorcroft before for their money back? obviously i have no intention of claiming back from argos, but i would like another kick in the teeth for moorcroft! Also..... my data has been passed around with no authorisation, and to cabot when they have nothing to do with the debt... anyone have any ideas on my next step here?

If nobody has responded with a copy of your cca then the agreement is unenforcable !!!!!!!!1 If they issue you can defend without a problem as they have to produce the original agreement. you could also probably get the money you have paid todate back as well !!!
