    • 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.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

Some of us don’t use our original registered names Freaky, because we had problems registering and lost our tempers and when it did get accepted we ended up with something almost objectionable

sarah - put any questions you have onto your original thread then we know your history

 

Once you have filed your claim, you need to send 2 copies of your schedule of charges, clearly marked with your claim no. + a brief covering letter asking for them to be filed with your claim to:

 

 

 

The Court Manager,

Money Claim Online

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

 

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

 

 

Wait until you receive the Notice of Acknowledgement (not the Notice of Issue) from the court and then send a copy to the bank’s solicitors, since they are the ones who will now be dealing with your claim

DG's details will be on page 2 of the acknowl.

 

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

(Your Name) -v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a copy of my schedule of charges relating to the above claim.

 

(If, and only if, you are claiming overdraft interest on your penalties, also include this paragraph)

 

 

I understand you have a policy of initially rejecting claims for overdraft interest. However, should this be the case after you have reviewed my claim, you should be aware that my claim for overdraft interest has been meticulously calculated and double checked. It only ever relates to the cumulative charges within the overdrawn balance of the account at the point that the overdraft interest was debited

 

If it is that in your view the interest is not claimable, I am prepared to discuss this with yourseves and the judge in court.

 

Yours sincerely,

Hey all.

 

Just thought id put you all up to date!

 

After they ignored all my letters the time came for me to file my claim on MCOL.

 

I did this, paid my £120 and sent 2 copies of my charges to MCOL.

 

I got a standard reply a few days later saying my claim was sent to HSBC and they had 14 days.

 

Ive now received an "Acknowledgement of Service" letter from MCOL (signed by Kate @ DG Solicitors) and theyve ticked the box INTEND TO DEFEND CLAIM. Is this normal for them or shall i be worried? It gives me the impression they dont agree with what ive claimed for and that im going to loose!! Or is this just their way of trying to get me to give up?

 

Any help would be brilliant - im so scared now and i feel like ive wasted the last three months and £120!

 

Thanks guys! x

Sarah do not worry this is perfectly normal!!!! They seem to leave it to the last minute and ALWAYS defend......offers before this are becoming really unheard of.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/78873-new-after-28-days.html

 

Have a read of this - as you will receive something from the court soon and 9 times out of 10 the AQ is dispensed with and you can start nudging letters to DG for an offer. This is the stage that I am at.

 

Nothing yet though...........URGH!

Yeah you will receive something from your local court saying who the judge is and what she wants to do. I got a leaflet about settling it out of court with all the bumf........and by the judge kicking out the AQ it basically means they are on to the banks stall tactics and are having none of it......

 

HA HA!!!!

 

I am nudging away - no response but I think they are now doing all the settlements in date order......I was end of Feb / beginning of March so am keeping the faith I should be soon

 

Good luck and keep us posted - this is a great site.

kerry, i think you'll be getting an offer shortly if my theory holds water (claim date)

 

sarah, did you send dg a copy of your breakdown - send one with every nudge letter - and did you send the court a copy - just checking.

kerry's right - watch for the court letters and read them carefully and nudge dg.

:) Hi Sarah,

 

I got a phone call from DG last wednesday and added to my own thread what I was told by Rachel...........

 

She said they were dealing with claims in date order and were aware of my court date and would get to me in due course........ ( was not impressed with htis) and was a little irritated (to say the least) it seems that no amount of nudges or phone calls or letters faxes or emails is and or will make any difference DG are moving at their pace and no one elses....

 

I think they are creaking seriously under the pressure and some ppl are having theirs settled quickly and others not..........

 

It might very well be expeditious of the courts to start setting aside one saturday a month and issue all bank claims to that day. at least the max time they would have is 6 weeks to procastinate....

 

Hope you get your letter VERY soon (ps when it comes can you ask them to send mine pls:-( )

 

Good luck

rockin all over the world

Hi

 

I think you are a bit ahead of me as ive had no calls or anything yet!

 

DG must be so bogged down with all this - they should just give everyone their money back and save all this hastle! Thats what i'd do anyway!!

 

Fingers crossed we'll both be settled very soon - i could do with the money...

 

Good luck with your claim and keep me posted.....;)

Hi

 

Just reading your progress with reclaiming your charges. HSBC's 14 days deadline ends tomorrow and my next step is to issue a claim form. You mention you did your claim with MCOL - Who are they I was thinking of doing through moneyclaim on the internet. Also further down you mention DG who are they?

 

How is your progress coming along have they made any offers of settlement to you as yet and how long did it take them before this was done?

 

Your help would be appreciated as of course really do not want to go to Court if it can be helped really nervous about submitting the claim form.

Hi there

 

Nope nothing yet - but by mine and Lateralus's prediction it should be soon. DG are the bank solicitors - all contact info on here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/31052-contact-details-banks.html?garpg=11

 

However you are too soon to worry about them just yet

 

MCOL link attached

 

 

https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk/csmco2/index.jsp

 

The claim is really now because the banks are too inundated to reply in the time scales are are giving them.

 

don't worry and GOOD LUCK
