    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.

    • 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.

Mine is taking forever started with prelim letter on 8th December , Still waiting for Arpil 13th to go to court to get allocation for the pending court case, two months wasted so far on that! The amount I am claiming is large, so it has added complications - So you cannot rely on the money for a "certain date" ( ;) ), you will have too just take it slowly and follow all the steps, don't rush!

 

14 days after the prelim letter was sent, send them a LBA with an updated (if neccessary) schedual of charges, Don't forget to send it recorded.

No matter what, or if, they reply - just stick to your deadlines and plough on.....Good luck!:p

  • 2 weeks later...

It was 14 days yesterday since I sent the prelim... Have been away at weekend and have a letter from the bank (literally outlining what they're gonna do to investigate my complaint etc - just a standard one methinks:rolleyes: )

have also got a card from the post office to collect a letter that needs signing for - will hopefully be able to find out what this is later today... could it be a cheque for 1.5K from Lloyds??? :D somehow I doubt it!! LOL

anyway - just to say the reply I had was from Andover - do I now contact them with an LBA, or will it be the same place I sent the prelim letter to?? (Birmingham address above)

any advice greatfully received, Ms Banana

Hi

Yes that is a standard reply. I would send your LBA to Andover if that's where the reply came from.

Let us know if it is a cheque, very much doubt it though!;)

Barty:)

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

ha ha - no it wasn't a cheque - it was some concert tickets! OH WELL!!:roll:

Right then - gonna send an LBA plus updated charges sheet to the Andover address asap then...

Does anyone know- if you add charges to the end of your spreadsheet, (ie the ones they took out since the prelim letter was sent) do I have to knock the charges off the beginning of the 6 year period?? cos I read somewhere you can only request 6 years back...?

 

Cheers, Ms Banana

Hi

You can claim 6 years of charges back from the day you submit your claim, so say you filed your court claim on the 15th April 2007, you could claim any charges from 15th April 2001 onwards. Hope that makes sense! You can add on any charges you receive up to the point of filing your claim.

Barty:)

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

cheers barty!! yeah cool - that means I can add on the £90 they took out this month then!! EXCELLENT!

also - sorry to keep asking questions - I know the answer is only common sense, but dont want to do anything wrong,... on the LBA at the beginning, it's worded :

"I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letter of the 12th March." they did reply - but only with a standard letter. is there any better wording that anyone knows of>?? PLS?? ta :D

Good luck msbanana - 2 weeks from now, you will be able to file your claim with the court, you could go to the court now and pick up the N1 form in the small claim pack, it would be quite a good idea to do this early as you will have a chance to get a good look at what info you will need to complete it.

 

You can also find these forms on the internet and fill them in and then print them off. There is also MCOL where the N1 form is filled in on line and it is done over the tinternet, but on the hard copy N1 you have more space to give the particulars of your claim, sometimes LLoyds stall by saying you havn't given them enough info!

 

You could also start adding the 8% interest to the charges now and then nearer the time there will be less to do!

 

Obviously when filling the N1 the amounts that you are actually claiming should be left 'till the last moment as they may land you with more charges by then !

 

Stick to your timetable and keep the ball rolling along at YOUR pace - not theirs and good luck ;) .

arrrghhh i am stuck, was going to do my claim on line, but been reading a post by Gary H that says lloyds have been using scare tactics and saying the online applications are embarrising in some way??! (don't get why)

pls can somebody let me know if i IS OK to do them online as find it hard to get into town when court is open... if so, what's the web address to get the online forms from etc?? sorry for being a thick-o, just not enough time to trawl through this website - there's SO MUCH to read, and I'm not getting anywhere!

many thanks in advance, MsBanana:confused:

The only reason they can be deemed as "embarrassing" is when people do not complete their POC properly citing cases and enclosing a complete schedule of charges. IMHO it is better to download the N1 form and fill out - it gives you much more room to get everything in! Don't forget to do three copies of everything and send to the CC with your cheque.

The LTSB say that there is not enough info on the MCOL, so they use it as a delaying tactic. I find that doing the form N1 and delivering it to the court saves time in the long run as you can add any attachments to your claim and then just hand it in, you do not need to do it in person, but get receipts for the cash when you pay it in!! Good Luck

 

The N1 form can also be found on line and filled in - then printed off

thank you!! (does IMHO mean in my humble opinion by the way? i am rubbish at these forums ha ha!)

 

many thanks for the advice tho, why 3 copies?

 

Send or take three copies to the court - the court will stamp one of them and return to you, keep one copy for themselves and send off the third copy to Lloyds.:p

well, had a very nicely written letter sent to me today (exactly 2 weeks since I sent the LBA) saying about how they (the bank) have to earn an honest crust etc... well not in so many words, but they tried to make it all sound very reasonable and friendly... bless them! they've never worded a letter to me that nicely before. I almost feel sorry for them... NOT!:p

 

gonna press on and file my claim - they obviously did not head my warnings!
