    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Sorry - when I posted I was at the bottom of page 1. Didn't realise there were another 13 pages to go which have given me the best laugh in ages. At least I now know what my son (a barrister I hasten to add) means by 'meeting Mr. Big' in Belmarsh!

 

I do seriously suggest someone who has had dealings with BC (I haven't) sends the details to Tony Hetherington of "Financial Mail". He hates scams and scummy lawyers as isn't afraid to name them in print. Contact Financial News, Business News, Comment & Analysis, Housing Market, Politics, Economony, Stock Market, Business, Interest Rates, Bank of England | This is Money for a profile and review of some of his exposures. He has, as far as I remember, had a go at dodgy DCAs in the past, one of which has been struck off by the OFT. Vandermerwe.

Here goes, i hope i've done this photobucket thing ok, well i received another letter from BC he has the cheek in threating me with court.

Note letter dated 26/6/2007, the envelope is dated 25/6/07 :confused:

 

Laiste has been very helpful and advised in totaly ignoring letters as the debt is statute barred.

input re the above letter would be greatly appreciated.

If as Laiste says the debt is staute barred then this would be final attempt to get money from you. Please report him to Trading Standards. The Society of Solicitors are very interested in this person and his activities as well.

I have a debt which went to Fredrikson and I asked for CCA and got an application form instead. I then received a letter from Brian Carter telling me they were sending me to court.

 

After reading information on here about this firm I wrote back pointing out that they were committing fraud by using a company which is no longer operating. As yet I haven't had a reply!

 

:rolleyes:

Actually if you look down at the bottom of the page it says Bryan Carter is a trading style of Crettins Carter.

The letterhead seems about as kosher as pork chops at a Barmitzvah (sorry Howard Cohen).

 

It's not a trading style, ODC, but stated to be the 'trading name' of Crellins Carter Solicitors.

 

Now I'm no expert on English commercial law, but believe a 'trading name' has specific and legal implictions and would have thought that if Messrs. Sue, Grabbit and Runne had wished to register 'Ephraim Sue' as a Trading Name the old established firm would have to complete numerous forms (especially these days!), complete searches, ask for objections et al.

 

Wouldn't the simplest thing be to ask the Law Society, OFT, Trading Standards and Uncle Tom Cobley in Weybridge whether or not all was in order?

 

I'm really curious.

I wish I found this site a year ago:mad:

 

I would not be in the mess I'm in now!

 

I'll outline my story.

 

Sept'05

Fredickson contacted me for an amount of money I am supposed to have owed them. I thought it was a hoax and laughed at them, and discarded further letters.

Dec'05 get a date telling me I'm going to court in Jan'06, Have multitude of personal circumstance that means I just ignore it.

Jan'06 Get a CCJ for a small part of the perpetated debt £300.

I still continue to dispute this debt, but now have a CCJ and thing are getting heavy. I then agree to pay off CCJ at a small amount per week, as there does not seem to be an option.

 

Any idea's on what I should do now?

 

I have cleared th CCJ amount, but there is a balance of approx £2500 left.

Hi there all,

 

I just placed a seach on the internet for bryan carter so i could find their email address, and i have come across this site, well good information,,,many thanks,,,it has now confused me as to is i should continue paying them monthly, is it going to a ceased company.

 

Basically for over 3 years now i have been paying a small amount of money to them via my bank account, and every now and then they send me a letter asking to increase the payment, and if i dont want to i just send the reply slip back to their de havilland drive, weybridge address.

 

I done this last week, but yesterday i received another one, and i thought it a bit strange.

 

Can anyone help in regards to this, am i paying money to a company that doesnt exist, do i stop payment,,,or do i carry on,,i dont want any court action.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I currently pay Bryan Carter £1 a month token payment by direct debit. I owe about £400 to them and recently called to offer them £134 in full and final settlement which they refused. I was going to CCA them?

How do I stand? Not sure what to do now?

CCA the rogue. For thr sake of a £1 postal order you may as well make Carter prove there actually is a debt. He may wish he had accepted your geneous offer or £134. NO CCA = NO ENFORCABLE DEBT

  • 4 weeks later...

OK. Ive got a court date. Ive just made a request for CCA but is there a timeframe when this should be done in as Im cutting it fine for court I think. I had previously requested info on the debt but they did not reply. So though better ask officially.

 

I too have letters after ceased trading date... but they dont have the trade as Crellin bit at the bottom.

I had a lovely surprise the other day courtesy of Bryan Carter & co telling me that they are to take 'no futher action' and have closed the file.

 

I took advice from here and CCA'd Fredrikson and got an application form, I also sent a letter stating that Bryan Carter was no longer trading etc and wonders never cease, I received this letter.

 

I will relish this for a little while and thank everyone whose knowledge base I used to get this far but also realise that another numpty debt collector will probably start the whole process again!!

 

Still feels good though!!

 

Cheers everyone! :lol:
