    • Hi, I have an old outstanding debt from 1994 due to MBNA for £20,000. The debt has been passed to various DCAs and is currently with PRA Group.  I sent them a CCA letter in January 2024. They acknowledged this letter and stated they would come back when they had more information, however the information did not arrive within the 12 working day scenario.. I have just received a copy of the agreement which goes back to 1994 from them. In their response letter they have stated " Please find enclosed documentation received to date: we are waiting further documents in order to complete your request. We have currently deemed this debt as unenforceable which means we are not able to take court or further action against you to recover the outstanding balance". They then go on to state "we are still legally entitled to:  1.Contact you to ask and repay what you owe 2.Pass your details onto a third party collection agency 3. Continue to report your account with the credit reference bureaux (as appropriate)". I'm at a loss as to what I should do next and would appreciate any guidance on this matter. I am currently paying £5.00 pcm. TIA

    • My understanding is that they won't provide the name to me whether the investigation is Live or Closed, & I have no legal rep as I didn't have P.I. Cover on my policy, & am intending to claim using OIC.org.uk, but remain completely stuck as they 100% cannot open a claim on the portal without both the Reg. No. & Name of the other driver.  
    • thanks again ftmdave, your words are verey encouraging and i do appreciate them. i have taken about 2 hours to think of a letter to write to the ceo...i will paste it below...also how would i address a ceo? do i just put his name? or put dear sir? do you think its ok?  i would appreciate feedback/input from anybody if anything needs to be added/taken away, removed if incorrect etc. i am writing it on behalf of my friend..she is the named driver  - im the one with the blue badge and owner of the car - just for clarification. thanks in adavance to everyone.       My friend and I are both disabled and have been a victim of disability discrimination on the part of your agents.   I have been incorrectly 'charged' by your agent 'excel parking' for overstaying in your car park, but there was no overstay. The letter I recieved said the duration of stay was 15 minutes but there is a 10 minute grace period and also 5 minutes consideration time, hence there was no duration of stay of 15 minutes.   I would like to take this oppertunity to clarify what happend at your Gravesend store. We are struggling finacially due to the 'cost of living crisis' and not being able to work because we are both disabled, we was attracted to your store for the 10 items for £10 offer. I suffer dyslexia and depression and my friend who I take shopping has a mobility disability. We went to buy some shopping at your Gravesend branch of Iceland on 28th of December 2023, we entered your car park, tried to read and understand the parking signs and realised we had to pay for parking. We then realised we didnt have any change for the parking machine so went back to look for coins in the car and when we couldnt find any we left. As my friend has mobility issues it takes some time for me to help him out of the car, as you probably understand this takes more time than it would a normal able bodied person. As I suffer dyslexia I am sure you'll agree that it took me more time than a normal person to read and understand the large amount of information at the pay & display machine. After this, it took more time than an able bodied person to leave the car park especially as I have to help my friend on his crutches etc get back into the car due to his mobility disability. All this took us 15 minutes.   I was the driver of my friends car and he has a blue badge. He then received a 'notice to keeper' for a 'failure to purchase a parking tariff'. On the letter it asked to name the driver if you wasnt the driver at the time, so as he wasnt the driver he named me. I appealed the charge and told them we are disabled and explained the situation as above. The appeal was denied, and even more so was totally ignored regarding our disabilities and that we take longer than an able bodied person to access the car and read the signs and understand them. As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us. I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge.     After being discriminated by your agent my friend decided to contact 'iceland customer care team' on my behalf and again explained the situation and also sent photos of his disabled blue badge and proof of disability. He asked the care team to cancel the charge as ultimately its Iceland's land/property and you have the power over excel parking to cancel it. Again we was met with no mention or consideration for our disability and no direct response regarding the cancellation, all we was told was to contact excel parking. He has replied over 20 times to try to get the 'care team' to understand and cancel this but its pointless as we are just ignored every time. I believe that Ignoring our disability is discrimination which is why I am now contacting you.     I have noticed on your website that you are 'acting' to ease the 'cost of living crisis' : https://about.iceland.co.uk/2022/04/05/iceland-acts-to-ease-the-cost-of-living-crisis/   If you really are commited to helping people in this time of crisis ..and especially two struggling disabled people, can you please cancel this charge as it will only cause more damage to our mental health if you do not.

    • 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.

I'm thinking that if a default and then a termination notice is inaccurate and invalid, then we could argue that a further default notice (corrected) cannot be issued as the agreement is no longer in force. This is the creditors own fault as they have acted unlawfully.

 

If they cannot then follow the correct procedure, then they can't take the next step in issuing court proceedings.

 

Just thinking out loud really, is there any merit in this?

 

Yeah, IMHO at least, as that's what I was meaning, in that by issue of another Default Notice the creditor is looking to enforce the agreement again, which they should be prevented from doing.

 

I'm sure we can bang heads together and get something worded that convinces a Judge it's right - or at least gives no leeway for the creditor to argue against it.

OK guys ......default notices

 

Just been looking at my RBS loan which in my opinion may be OK although there may be an issue with it.

 

the default notice was issued in both my wifes name and mine.......although it was only me that signed. The loan was in fact mine, although it was serviced from a joint account.

 

whats the position ????

 

Have they cocked up,

 

not only that but i'm sure there will be some penalty charges on it also, will have to check

 

Any ideas

Hi Dave!

 

As you've probably guessed i am no expert :p but i cannot see how that would be correct to have your wife's name on the default notice. Whether it would be enough to make it invalid i don't know.

 

I also wondered if it raises data protection issues? Was a default noted on your wife's credit file?

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

 

 

 

Please be aware that i am not an expert in anything!

I may offer an opinion, but the final decision is yours.

Dave, if the default is inaccurate due to the amount being partially made up of penalty charges, then it is invalid. If they have registered a default then on your credit record, you may be able to claim damages.

 

The case law for these is:

 

Woodchester vs. Swayne & Co

and

Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society

Hi Ian ....

 

thanks for taking the time to reply, yes i knew that as I am using part of it (Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society) in my main claims against MS and Barclays

 

I dont know as yet if there are any penalties on on the loan, but am sure there must be.

 

my question though was It has included my wife on the default ??? is this right ? or have they cocked up in a big way?

I thought they could only deafult the person who took out the credit.

 

So in your case they can only deafult you an not your wife.

MORE to the point.........

 

if after defaulting both of us.........is the default legal ??

 

I am not interested in the default per se,

 

I AM interested in if it is now an illegal default and termination of contract ??

I'd say the Default Notice is inaccurate as it includes a debtor under the agreement that wasn't party to the original - this alone should make it unlawful. The regs clearly state that the debtor and creditor should be identified on the Notice - if they aren't, it can't be relied on for enforcement.

 

Now the question is, have they Terminated your agreement on the back of this Notice? If they did, it will add weight to your case as you've suffered more prejudice as a result. (Loss of benefit under the contract)

 

I've discussed issue (in general) with Peter Bard on the main CCA thread and he believes that they can simply issue another (corrected!) Notice - I don't think they can due to the Wilson -v- FCT (and the other Wilson cases) arguments that states they can't rely on the Act for enforcement once they've unlawfully rescinded the contract. (Which is what has happened, IMHO)

 

In short, a Notice that is inaccurate has to be unlawful, whether it includes charges or not, as they haven't followed the prescribed process for Default/Termination. Whether it is or not is a matter of fact though - it's arguable either way, it just depends on whether the Judge sides with you or not and how you put you case across.

 

I don't think there's any caselaw on this, so using pursuasive argument is your best bet.

Hi Paul...

 

just had a look at this and it seems to mirror the judges sentiments in wilson v fct......ie that it was parliments intention to punish the creditor for failing in his duty to get his paperwork right. the punishment being that any money outstanding is lost to him.

All adds to the cause though, doesn't it?

 

It's probably quite easy to distinguish one claim from Wilson v FCT (yeah, right! But they will try!) but having a barrage of caselaw backing your claim up can't hurt.

 

Just several more pages to photocopy for your bundle, if you get that far! :evil:

I can remember paul...pt2537 when he first started here with his claim against littlewoods....look at him now, the guy is an absolute star, and deserves his place next to whatever god he believes in. RESPECT !!

 

Anyway I think the Merlot is now getting the better of me, so Ill shut up
