    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 All,

On the 28/3/07 I was advised by 1st Credit that they were passing my account (formerly Lloyds credit card) to their solicitors with instructions to secure a CCJ and enforce it with a Final charging order against my property.

This was the first correspondance that I had received from 1st Credit and sent them a CCA with the fee on the 9th April. Nothing came (shock!) in the post.

Today I have received a letter from Lloyds Solicitors SC&M saying that their client LLoyds has instructed them to recover the money (the figure is the same as 1st Credits) within 7 days or court proceedings will commence.

 

I am confused, why did 1st credit contact me? I thought that they were separate to Lloyds (i.e. that they buy the debt) and how come Lloyds solicitors have now contacted me?

I guess that 1st Credit never bought the debt? In which case I was correct to CCA them AND not pay anything.

I dont deny that I owe the money (other than a few charges;) ), but was really confused!

Can any one shed any light? please

Cut out all of the middle people and CCA Lloyds directly as they don't seem to have sold this on yet. State that you consider the account to be in dispute, and ask that they hold off on any action until they have complied with your rightful legal request... All in writing, Rec/Del, the lot!

 

Keep us posted :)

Thanks in advance

Hello reduk054, A cca request and an SAR are two sepearate requests.

 

The CCA is the 1974 statute which is to do with your rights under this act,in it for a fee of £1 you can request a copy of your true executed agreement (not application form) this is basically to prove that there is an agreement in existance.(or not)

 

The creditor or whoever is handling the alleged debt must prove that they have a right to collect alleged monies owed,they must supply this info in 12 working days plus a further 2 days for postage allowances, after this time the account is in dispute,then after a further 30 days they are committing a criminal offence for failing to supply your requested agreement in the time allowed

 

When i requested this myself i sent it recorded delivery so you have a paper trail and proof that you have requested the paperwork.

 

An SAR is a data protection act request to the original lender or finance house which for a fee of £10 must provide all details of your financial dealings with the comapny such as statements etc and if they have charged you any fees which may be now deemed unlawful and you can reclaim them back.

 

Hope i`ve provided you with the basics of your rights :)

 

Best regards S

Stormo thank you, you have helped and clarified my position. It is easy to read lots of threads, think you have a grasp of what is what and then realise that you don't.

I appreciate the time that you have taken to send me a good, basic overview.

Ok onwards and forwards :)

Does any one know the Act i can refer to or the actual legal reasons as to why lloyds & solicitors cannot / should not take me to court ATM please? I have written a letter to solicitors but it needs some oomph so to speak!! LOL

This is in reference to diskmandave's post above quote

"State that you consider the account to be in dispute, and ask that they hold off on any action until they have complied with your rightful legal request..."

Hello again reduk054, the consumer credit act 1974 is the legal request with your £1 fee,there is a template letter which states which part needs to be complied with,sorry havent got time as i`ve got to go to work in a minute :(

 

If they are really solicitors they should know your rights pretty poor if they dont,but thats what they are being paid for,sounds like another scare tactic to me for you to cough up unaware you can challenge them.

 

Remember no agreement no enforcable debt and without the agreement you signed in the first instance to be provided with the original credit contract cannot legally pursue you and ask for payment,they will have to do a Neville Chamberlin and wave your agreement at you :) also the pen is mightier than the sword :)

Thanks again stormo, I see the point you are making, and of course I should have put two and two together about the request letter and cut and paste it in my letter to the solicitors.

]Now I am sorry cos been at work, had a bit of a to-do earlier so may ask another silly question (please bear with me!)

I CCA'd 1st Credit about this debt on the 9th April and they have not responded to me at all. Is this where the account is in dispute?, as I also CCA'd LloydsTSB credit card along with an SAR request sent today (1st class recorded, with cheque). Now I am sure that Lloyds will have a copy of the CCA, but am I then disputing the amount that Lloyds are claiming because of charges etc?

Do tell me to b***** off if I am being a wally here but just want to get my facts right before I look like even more of a wally LOL

Thanks

Hello reduk054,firstly try not to worry about your course of action,as you are just claiming your rights under the various acts. :)

 

Also no you are not a wally,i`ll try to help fellow members if i can,i must state i`m not legally trained but will give my opion or views on financial matters mostly based on my experiences in dealing with DCa`s and such like.

 

Ok back to matters in hand,you CCA requested 1st credit on 9th April thats Bank holiday monday? so no post then so i`ll assume you posted it the day after being the 10th and the DCA office got it on the the 11th.

The clock starts ticking on the 12th so going on the 12 working days,the time will be up next friday being the 27th.

 

It just so happens tommorrow is my calendar month on one of my requests to a DCA and nothing but a couple of blustering letters with veiled threats,thats all no agreement so they have commited the criminal offence,and i will send off a letter to report them to the regulatory authorities.

 

With regards to lloyds the SAR should show you the amount of unlawful charges you may have on the account,you just have to wade through them and highlight these and then total them up,in some cases the charges potentially owed outweigh the alleged debt which is a role reversal :) them owing you :).

 

Whether you get the CCA from lloyds, depends on the time thats gone by and how long they keep records for, but should be 6 years, from account closure and from what i`ve read on here with other cases whether lloyds do this, is for them and their record keeping methods so thats unknown at the moment.

Hi Stormo,

Did your postman come and go without a copy of the agreement which you requested, sorry have been so engrossed with my threads that I did not ask. Hope it went in your favour!

"It just so happens tommorrow is my calendar month on one of my requests to a DCA and nothing but a couple of blustering letters with veiled threats,thats all no agreement so they have commited the criminal offence,and i will send off a letter to report them to the regulatory authorities."

I have not received any relevant mail to this thread, and Stormo, I must check out the dates of when I posted the CCA request, and update accordingly!!

I have been reading a few scary threads regarding 1st Credit, especially the thread started by Thereshope.

In her case she had admitted the debt, now I am fairly sure that I have not admitted any debt to 1st Credit (she had not seen CAG at that point), just the CCA requests, although I knew that they did call a lot especially around Christmas last year. No payments have been made to 1st Credit, therefore presumably in the eyes of the law, I have not admitted any debt to 1st credit?!

Hello reduk054,thanks for asking,i`m afraid Thames Credit and go and jump in the river off one of Londons famous bridges :grin:

 

They are well over their time limit,dont know whether to write to trading standards as i`ve got the result i`m looking for after paying this alleged debt for a number of years,i assume its best to write to DCA`s local trading standards office but might let as mentioned sleeping dogs lie :)

 

Has anyone received any feedback when this has happened?

I`d be interested if your reporting of non compliance To the relevant bodies has made any difference to your own situation,but doesnt excuse the DCA for pursuing you with out backing it up with the paperwork.

 

What makes me fume is they should have had the paperwork to start with but when you dont know your rights how can you challenge them.

 

I`ve personally no moral scruples about doing this if you have whats the point :) just my 2 euros worth :)

Stormo, pleased that you got your result with Thames Credit. Are you going to ask for the payments which you made to them back?

Write to trading standards, there are a few threads on here and some stickys regarding complaining about DCAs, with varying success. I dont think that it is Trading standards as such who you contact any more. I will post you the link of who you do complain to! (I contacted TS and they forwarded me a standard mail!)

I think that diskmandave(although my memory is not so good, it was not a thread which i suscribed to, just came accross it by accident) involved his local TS against a DCA called Lowells who did not comply with his CCA request, and his debt was written off completely!

Then kennyparkroad has contacted his TS about another DCA and they have not even aknowledged his mail!

Will try and post up some info for you!

ps are you on holiday/in Ireland as you mentioned euros!

Hello reduk054 sorry didnt have time earlier had to go out to work :) no dont live in Ireland but good old blighty :)

 

I`ve asked about the payments made to Thames but having not produced the agreement i cant claim anything as far as i know.

 

Any payments made would deemed to have been made "voluntarily" so i`ve been informed,glad to say that its now unenforcable as all the deadlines have passed ,the thing is i am certain the agreement wont be produced any time soon :)

 

Thanks for the link BTW

Starz 61, thank you for your post. It makes me so cross that these bullies are obtaining charging orders over properties. Was it 1st credit who placed the charging order, and did you attend the court hearing? Also, are you still making any repayments to 1st credit/Lloyds about this one, or have you left the charging order in place? At least with the amount involved, they will not be charging interest ontop of the charge!

Stormo, that is news to me about the "voluntary" payments, but I can see the logic. I will see what I come across and post anything relevant...at least you dont have to continue making payments, lets hope that Thames stay away

Vampy - thank you "Just keeping an eye on your thread, Red!"

(you're a poet, now you know it ;) ). thank you, I enjoy your company :)
