    • I have read through a number of similar threads, but one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid), so not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it. Also redacted claim form attached: Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre (Northampton) If possible please scan redact and upload a full page copy of page 1 of the claim form.

On 28/11/23 the debt of £7296 was assigned to PRA Group (UK) Limited, who itself assigned the debt to PRA Group UK Portfolios Ltd on 30/12/23. Notices of assignment were sent to the Defendant in accordance with S136 Law of Property Act 1925. The Claimant has instructed PRA Group (UK) to act on its behalf and the CLAIMANT CLAIMS 1. The sum of £7925   What is the total value of the claim? £8481 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? No   Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? Yes   Did you inform the claimant of your change of address? I believe I sent a letter by registered mail of a change in address to abroad in 2021.

    • While we wait for someone to explain how farage is any better than sunak  .. if not worse   One of many likely upcoming belly laughs   Reform chairman Richard Tice has accused the Tories of (reform like) “dirty tricks” after one of his party’s candidates withdrew his papers to stand at the last minute and endorsed former cabinet minister Sir Gavin Williamson. In a dramatic final 24 hours before nominations closed there had been fevered speculation that as many as six Tory MPs and other candidates could defect to Reform after Nigel Farage decided to stand in Clacton and become leader. But instead no Tories switched and Tom Wellings, the Reform candidate for the new seat of Stone, Great Wryly and Penkridge in Staffordshire, quit and put out a statement endorsing Sir Gavin.   Who does he think he is an Anderson, a Carswell !!! was heard at the reform HQ pub ... as Candidate brushed aside by Farage in clacton to run as an independent    Tice accuses Tories of ‘dirty tricks’ to persuade Reform candidates to stand down WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Exclusive: A furious row has broken out after a Reform candidate’s last minute defection to the Tories   :ROFL  
    • See what you think of the attached. I have to do some proofreading of an English grammar book for an Italian publisher this weekend - for money! - so I'm afraid corrections and suggestions will come in dribs & drabs.  I've totally knackered the layout, the numbering and the order of your Exhibits but there will be several versions done so don't worry about that ATM. Your arguments are superb. What is less superb is the way you jump from one to the other and back again, so I haven't changed your words, but I have moved the paragraphs around and given each section a heading. New bits are shown in red. Crossed out crossed out in black is something you've quoted from the government Code of Practice, but that has since been withdrawn so unfortunately that argument has to go. Your paras 7 & 8 don't harm your case but to me are waffle and can go.  Keeping the arguments clear & concise will always impress a judge. IMPORTANT - did you ever send Simple Simon a CPR request?   Defendant's WS - version 2.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.

Today I recieve a witness statement from [problem] saying I have miscalculated and instead of what I claimed £3800 less £750 partial payment they "found there to be a total of £1777.00(exclusive of interest)in charges applied to the above account"

 

They then say that they make it

charges £1777.00

 

Interest £126.83

 

Total £190383

thanks ukaviator and nicolefrenzy. Yes I'm going to check my charges this afternoon when I get rid of this fuzzy head!!!

I think I may have put in some account charges by mistake as I calculated it before discovering this fantastic site!

Yes, check your figures again.

 

You can't include monthly account service fees - or OD interest, unless that is you've worked out the part that was solely due to and levied on top of each charge.

 

Minus anything you shouldn't have claimed from the total, then if thats what they've paid you'll have to drop the claim - you've won!:D

 

If there is still some genuine charges, interest or fees which have not been paid you need to go to court to iron it out there. Take your figures in so you can show the judge precisely what you've been paid and what's still outstanding.

Thanks Gary for your help.Yes I intend to go to court as ,even if they are correct, they have estimated £1,903.83 including interest but not court fees. They paid £1,200 into my account so I reckon they still owe me at least £823.83.

What do you mean?

 

Have they settled everything they should have in full, or not?

 

If so then yes, you need to inform the court and discontinue the claim.

:shock: Oh deary me SC&M were correct!!!!

Sorry, I got the impression from that that you meant you'd realised what you were paid was the total amount of what your entitled to.

 

If you've taken off all the service fees and the OD interest, and any cash point fees and they are still short, then yes, go to court and show the judge what they haven't paid.

 

Don't be tempted to try to pursue the charges your not entitled to though, i.e select account service fees, etc - you won't get them.

Yes....the reason for the unanswered questions perhaps?........I calculated my charges wrongly.I included ordinary account charges. I also forgot about the £750 goodwill payment when calculating the difference!!......so yes nicsussex.....
