    • simply write to them, offering one months fee, give them 14 days to accept. if they sont accept, ignore everyone. Harlands too! and the extra £20 penalty is not allowed either. thread title updated. dx  
    • So technically you could push it via the courts with the clause in the AST (I remember seeing something about this recently)  However if one has left the country - It might make it hard to recover it all from the others.    How would you look to bring action against all parties involved? Do you know where all of them currently are?  You can service to last known address but as you know they have moved on - It could be held against you by a judge if it goes all the way.    I think you need to consult a solicitor on this one - Its a complex claim against multiple people rather than a simple Creditor vs Debtor claim we see here. 
    • Initially, the property was let to four foreign students, but they are no longer on student visas. During midterm, two of them moved out, and two new friends of theirs moved in, one of whom is the lead tenant's British girlfriend. The lead tenant got married to a her and became a dependent who is now one of the tenants in the AST agreement. The third tenant found a work permit visa, and the fourth left the country a few months ago. Recent contract only three.  Please see the attached AST, which seems that I may be able to claim any costs exceeding the deposit. All ASTs were signed electronically using the MUDHUT template.

    • I'm sorry Mystic I did miss it. My wife went into hospital around that time so while I read your WS I missed the Excel case and never had the time to respond to your WS. Fortunately Dave has done pretty much what I would have done though I would have added the point I made on post 117 . It's partly to embarrass UKPC in the hope that they withdraw the case and if they don't perhaps the Judge might query their truthful declaration. And I would still use the fact that being broken down is not parking as well as creating a frustration of contract. The Judge in Jopson v Homeguard spells out quite clearly what parking is and is not. He didn't use car breakdown as one of his examples but had he done so it would have been appropriate. It's just another argument to disincline UKPC from continuing. I know it's a bit of a hassle to alter your WS again but if it changes UKPC from pursuing you , it would be worthwhile.
    • You need to title your exhibits - EXHIBIT 1, EXHIBIT 2, etc. - and add them to the end of the WS. You can use the attached as EXHIBIT 3, you just need the one page, not the whole CoP. The WS and the five exhibits need to be e-mailed to both the court and UKPC.  You might as well hang on till Sunday just in case the other regulars have ideas. 17_extracted_Version91.2.2024.pdf

    • 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 Electric,

 

I'm in exactly the same boat at the moment with Nationwide Credit Card. I've had exactly the same few days that you have had, and their advice is right:

 

Stay calm, have a glass of wine. Then read the information you have been given a few times. Decide what you need to do next and in what order it needs to be done.

 

From what I've read you are in a very strong position. My fingers are crossed for you, and don't forget - you are NOT alone. If it wasn't for the guys n gals here I think I'd have given up long ago.

 

The only advice I can give is don't let them get you in a flap - this seems to be what 'they' try and do. Approach the problem with a steady hand.

Hi there Laiste,

 

No worries!

 

I actually wasnt anxious about the situation as I know I just have to wait until the time is up for Cl, & I was just making sure that I had advised correctly of the timescales. :)

 

One of the other reasons I made contact with you was because you had said last week that you were going to do/needed to do, a letter that I had to send to GE. If that's not neccessary now thats ok - I am led by you.

 

I know only too well what its like to feel that there are never enough hours in the day(!), & to be honest I often wonder just how you do it here on CAG, spreading yourself out as you do!

 

I will of course contact the court as you have suggested.

 

Many thanks for your ongoing support - sorry if I contributed to any hair-raising moments!

 

Best,

Electric:D

Hi Electric,

 

I got confused for a moment when I saw the different log on! Let me know what the Court advised when you get a moment. We will draft a letter to send over the weekend.

Hi Laiste,

 

This is bad news:(

 

Just got back from work, & found a letter awaiting from Solicitors acting for CL Finance. Its contents as follows:

 

 

" Dear Mrs EL

 

We refer to the defence which you have filed in this matter.

 

Please find enclosed a copy of the Notice of Assignment served upon you on 9th March 2007 in accordance with the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

We can confirm that GE Money's Data Credit Management Team are dealing with your Data Subject Access Request.

 

We note your comments regarding the Default Notice, however the said Notice allowed you fourteen days from 22nd February 2007 to remedy the Default but you failed to do so. Therefore, our client was at liberty to issue proceedings against you fourteen days after the issue of the Default Notice.

 

We can confirm that we shall be progressing this Claim in the County Court, however our Client may consider your proposals for settlement and should you agree to the same, we respectively request that you contact this office to discuss the matter further.

 

We trust this clarifies the position and look forward to you reply.

 

Yours sincerely,"

 

And sure enough, there enclosed was a copy of the credit agreement - all correct & intact.

 

Where to from here Laiste?

 

A very sad little Electric Lemon tonight:(

Hi Electric,

 

Don't go all despondent on me! I haven't even got warmed up with my best arguments yet and your sounding like it's all over bar the shouting! They have sent you a letter which includes what they are saying is a credit agreement and you're inclined to believe them! Not so fast! There is a world of difference between a document that is offered up as an agreement and a legally enforceable one. If the document does not comply to the required form and contain prescribed terms it is unenforceable. Don't ask me to explain the complex situation regarding form and content of agreements, we'll be here till Xmas!;) Suffice to say, until I see a copy of it, I can't be sure, but I am very good at going through things with a fine tooth comb!

 

Regarding the Deed of Assignment (DoA) remind me did you receive notice that the debt had been assigned? Do not worry about the DoA either, I will guarantee you, part of the amount stated that is owed, will include penalty charges from when you had your a/c, which means that if this gets to Crt, their case would be struck out on that basis, because the amount stated in the DoA has to be accurate under the LoP Act 1925. There are probably other flaws as well, which may serve to prove that an assignment doesn't even exist! But I will need to see the docs relating to the DoA also.

 

The best advice I can give you is, don't believe any of the details in any letters you receive from their sols. They have a duty to put forward their client's arguments/case, to make your situation seem hopeless, which it absolutely is not! It is important to read all letters from them during the proceedings, however, you are under no obligation to believe what you read!

 

Don't get in touch with them under any circumstances. I need you to scan up the agreement, blocking out your personal details. I need to see the Notice of the DoA, if they sent you one. I don't know how you scan things up, beyond my knowledge I'm afraid! Bella knows how to do it, if you're not sure.

 

Regards,

 

Laiste.:)

Hi Electric,:)

 

Keep your chin up as we are both in good hands!

 

I had a few probs trying to scan and diskmandave gave me the answer.

Before I tried this I spent hours trying to get the right size scanned image onto the posts but they all came out too small.

 

Let me know if you need any help with this as I am an expert now :rolleyes: practice makes perfect!!:grin:

Hey Bella,

 

Many thanks for your help. as I am a little technophobic!!

 

Im so disheartened really as I so thought that these horrid people couldnt find the CCA. It certainly was appearing that way thats for sure.

 

But then again they seem to like lulling people into a false sense of security dont they.

 

I know we're in very capable hands though which is reassuring. Hows things your end?

Hi Electric;)

 

Egg are playing games with us OR they just don't know what their left is doing from their right:D.

 

Anyway get your agreement up so it can be checked out!

 

I know Laiste said she was busy with a case that she was working on this week not to mention all that extra work that she does on here! Plus working through the pain barrier! (ear infection) Just hope she does not burn herself out.:p

 

Speak soon Electric:) remember give us a shout if you need some help uploading the doc!

Hi Electric,

 

I read your comments to Bella a little further up and there is absolutely no reason for you to feel disheartened, I cannot stress this strongly enough. You are at the very start of proceedings and just because they have produced a document that THEY say is a credit agreement, does not mean it is, or that it conforms to the requirements, which if it doesn't will render the debt unenforceable.

 

There are a myriad of other legal arguments as well, the DoA is of primary importance and if they haven't got that right, they won't be able to enforce the debt. I guarantee you they will have have screwed up somewhere! Furthermore, just because they've started proceedings don't think for a minute when they receive your lengthy counter-claim that they will continue with the case! As I have said many times before, DCA's want easy pickings, and will recoil from a protracted legal fight. Solicitors that specialise in consumer credit law would cost a fortune to employ and your average solicitor upon reading a lengthy, valid c/c, (which he/she probably can't understand anyway) would tell the DCA to forget it and cut their losses! If the only way they have a remote chance of winning is to spend a lot of money on legal advice and representation, which even then will give them no guarantee of winning, they are going to abandon the claim.

 

The point I am trying to make is, just because they have issued a claim, does not mean they have a legal right to monies from you, or that they will obtain judgment. You need to have faith in what we're doing and not accept at face value what CL tell you. View all of their letters with suspicion and remember whose interests are being served in those letters, certainly not yours!

 

Regards,

 

Laiste.:)

I have today recd CCA paperwork from CL Finance and am now unsure. I have a copy of the application to open account (it states this in bold letters at the top). My living status, employment details have not been filled in. The PPI box has been ticked by however completed the application form. (its not in my handwriting). There is a clause of right to cancel, but says details will be sent in post. To be honest I dont think this is enforceable but need clarification before I send the dimwit at CL finance a snotty letter requesting CCA again. They have also sent me an extract of the deed of assignment. All this tells me is that CL have brought debts from GE and nothing specifically relating to the alleged debt. How should I proceed with this. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Mushymoo26,

 

Welcome to the forum!:)

 

I understand you need advice with your particular problem, but what you need to do is start your own thread, to avoid hijacking Electric's thread. It's an easy mistake to make! I guarantee that you will get lots of help and advice when you start your own thread that people can contribute to. You might want to start your thread in this section.

 

Best wishes,

Hi Laiste,

 

I'm here. Not been well with a really nasty bout of tonsillitis :o(

 

I do have to hook the scanner up at some stage today & follow Bella's instructions so that I can let you see the letter that arrived a few days ago.

 

 

Sorry for the delay - though maybe its given you a little bit of a breather!!

 

By the way, I did notice something on the CCA that was peculiar???

 

One of the addresses is correct as for what was then 'my present' one but for the former address it has my husbands old address on it not mine?????

 

It has been written in someone elses handwriting too. Though it does have my signature on it definately.

 

Hmmmmm, strange???? Thats not right at all is it????

Hmmmm.. are you thinking what I'm thinking?

 

And if it might - allegedly - be reconstructed (but with incorrect information), or 'cut and paste' what on earth were they thinking about - is it a deliberate act approved by management or perhaps an unsupervised clerk just trying to be helpful and provide what the customer asked for? :confused:

Hello all :)

 

I don't want to hijack your thread Electric Lemon. I was advised to read it because there are issues that relate to my own case.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/81525-gandolfi-natwest.html

 

It's great to know that I'm not alone in having to respond to a County Court claim from the bank by filing a defence and Counterclaim. It's scary stuff! Inspiring to see that with sound advice from Laiste your confidence and control of the situation has steadily grown.

 

My reason for posting.........

I've PM'd Laiste to ask her permission to use the guidance she gave you for the letter demanding full disclosure before filing a Counterclaim (posts 51 & 52). I'd like to post the version that I've adapted for my own case on my post (for more advice) and just wanted to check that it is OK. Don't want to steal other people's work without acknowledgement.

 

Laiste, if you read this, could you let me know that it is OK to post it? Thanks!

 

Stay strong Mrs Electric!! Good luck!!!

Hi Laiste,

 

Just to advise that I had an Allocations questionnaire arrive today.

 

I havent had time to go through it all yet but will let you have all info asap.

 

It states that they have to have it back by 12th June.

 

Also, the dingbats.....They say that they have transferred the case to my local court....in......Portsmouth! The flamin twits!!

 

So that is the first thing that I will have to address.

 

Blimey, you just cant get the staff can you!!:D

Duh!!

 

Poor things. Not far to go then, to their proper destination!

 

Dont know about the form wht?? It does appear a mystery???

 

It is 100% my signature, but everything on the form is in someone elses handwriting & not mine????

 

I have absoloutely scrutinised the form & it doesnt look as if theres any cutting & pasting that has gone on. (cant see any strange white parts that have gone over any writing!).

 

Anyway, they would have to produce it in a court of law, & anyone would be able to see if it had been fiddled with in any way wouldnt they.

 

Strange????

 

BUT, the mystery remains, because whenever I have EVER applied for a credit card it has always been me that has filled in every part????
