    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!  
    • 3rd one seems the best option, let 'em default, don't pay a penny, nothing will happen, forget about all of this. As for Payplan don't touch them with a bargepole, nothing they can do that you can't, and they will pocket fees. A do it yourself DMP is pointless as it will just string out the statute barred date to infinity.
    • Because that’s what the email said. Anyway it’s done now. Posted and image emailed.    im doing some reading in preparation for defence but I will need my hand holding quite tightly by you good people.  I’m a little bit clueless

    • 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

 

Well I have just put the phone down yet again on Intrum Justitia DCAs who are chasing a £302.14 debt for Ebay fees, I was originally paying £20.15 until I read on here without the CCA it is possibly an unenforceable debt etc, I have sent numerous requests, LBAs etc and just get the same standard letter back saying they are sending Debt Collectors to my home to recover the debt, I speak to them daily (I have sent a stop harrassing me by phone letter but they ignored that too) and say the same thing to them to reply to my letters..... HELP! What should I do?

I don't think Ebay fees will be covered by a CCA as they are not a form of credit, but fees for listing items for sale on it's website.

 

Someone with more knowledge may be along soon to offer some advice for this type of situation.

Thank you, I am not sure either, I did however quote the Consumer Credit Act etc on the phone and the guy said ' I dont know anything about that act' so just shows their intelligence levels! As a law student I also told him I know my rights blah blah and he hung up!

SUCCESS!!

 

Received a letter today off Intrum justitia saying that as they have not got the original signed agreement they had closed my file and passed it back to Ebay!! £1 refunded too!

 

Hi

Dont want to burst your bubble but, I too received a letter (last week) from these as they did not comply with with my cca request and have passed my account back to Nat West.

 

Only today to receive my £1 back in one envelope and a request from Intrum for full payment in another! so much for "you will receive no furtheer calls or correspondence from Intrum Justita in relation to this account"

 

:rolleyes:

It's a strong possibility that these have just crossed in the post. The threats are automated, the return of £1 isn't, so it's still possible you won't here from them again.

I since closed my ebay account down as it was too much hassle and i have no idea where this amount of £35 comes from! Everytime i email them to try and find out i get an automated response which gets me nowhere! HELP!

I was in exactly the same position, someone else hacked into my ebay seller account and then I felt pressured into paying as nobody would listen at ebay, paypal and then Intrum Justitia (Debt collectors) so in the end after daily calls, letters etc, I sent a CCA request to Ebay and I.J, then received a letter saying they had passed the account back to ebay, to date its been wiped off!!

Its a Consumer Credit Act Agreement request... loads of nice people on here are more knowledgeable than me on this but honestly it worked.. basically means that for a debt to be enforceable, the creditors have to prove that there was an agreement executed under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act. In short, many many credit card/banks/catalogue shopping institutions either do not get you sign one when you start trading with them/open and account and if they do they rarely keep a signed copy of such a document, therefore the debt is unenforceable! If I get a mo in the morning, I will look for a link to a template letter for you.. In the meantime I will copy and paste one that I used (which I got off this site). My laptop battery is dying so bear with me!

sorry to sound stupid but what is a CCA request?

 

This is the letter I sent when I didnt get a reply to my original letter (this is usual and its normally the second letter that gets the results.. this is a NON COMPLIANCE letter)

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Ref: (Account number goes in here)

I refer to my letter dated {enter date} which was delivered via Recorded Delivery to your offices on {enter delivery date}.

 

You have failed to acknowledge this request by not supplying the requested documents. The documents I requested should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect this account.

 

In my letter of the {enter date} I made a formal request for a copy of the signed, executed credit agreement for the above account under Section 77(1) and Section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and a true signed copy of the Deed of Assignment. In addition a full statement of my account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account from the time {debt agency name} purchased this account, along with any other documents mentioned in the credit agreement.

 

You are reminded that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, as defined under Section 189 of the CCA 1974.

 

The Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for this request to be carried out before your company enter into a default situation. If the request is not satisfied after a further 30 calendar days, your company commit an offence. These time limits expired on {enter date} and {enter date} respectively.

 

As you are no doubt aware, Section 78(6) states:

 

If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1) -

 

(a) He is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement; and

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore on {enter offence date} this account became unenforceable at law and no further payment will be made by myself to the account, as you have failed to comply with a request for a true signed copy of the said agreement, and other relevant documents mentioned in it, and failed to send a full statement of the account and failed to provide a true copy of the Deed of Assignment, under the relevant sections of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Further, i do not acknowledge any debt to {debt agency name}.

 

I require the following action from {debt agency name} :

 

1. All payments made to date to {debt agency name} for this account should be refunded in full, including interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

 

2. Removal of all defaults entered by {debt agency name}. Note this is to be a complete deletion and not merely an amendment.

 

3. I look forward to compensation under Section 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to be offered for the processing of my data in the manner it has been done over the past number of years.

 

4. After a full refund of all payments with interest and compensation are received by myself, you will be required under Section 10 and Section 12 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to cease and desist all manual and automatic processing of my data within your company and any other company within your group.

 

If you do not respond positively to my request, court action may be taken under Section 14 of the Data Protection Act 1998 to force {debt agency name} or any other company within the group to comply with the refund of all monies paid, removal of all defaults maintained and compensation for damage and distress as a result of unlawful data processing. I may also pass the matter to the relevant enforcement authorities including, but not limited to, the OFT, the Information Commissioners Office, Trading Standards, the CSA, the FOS and my local MP.

 

I look forward to your reply within 14 days to resolve the matter amicably.

Yours faithfully

HOPE THIS HELPS.... The first CCA request letter is on my office pc which I cant get to till next week so hope this helps for now unless someone else comes along and offers a template!!

p.s if I have been even a little bit helpful can you 'click' my scales to add to my reputation!!;-)

I might well go after these folks, they are incredibly rude. I don't owe much to be honest...but their attitude makes me not want to pay.

 

Everytime I try and ask them something they put the phone down on me.

 

I offered to set up a repayment and they said no, and slamed the phone down...damm rude people.

 

So time to take them down I think

 

Respect costs nothing.

 

Disrespect cost them income!!

hello to our guest. :D
????

Is it a MIB?

 

Anyway, I very much doubt Ebay is covered by the CCA.

Although this does not stop you having some sort of contract. Mobile phones for instance, you can still ask to see the original contract as thats the core of the agreement but it's not covered by the CCA.

When T-Mobile sent my debt to Intrum I just sent a letter asking for the contract, I also sent one to T-Mobile. They did actually send me it and I was able to reduce the settlement. This would have also been the base of any court action they would have started.

There's no CCA for eBay. You just register online with your personal details and away you go. They have 11 million UK customers alone.

 

There is a fantastic 'Community' section on eBay where you can get expert help and guidance if you're having problems.

 

eBay: Community: Answer Centre

 

Try the 'Paying eBay Fees' section.

Good grief, dont send them there- Ive just put a link to this thread as an example of where to find proper advice from people who have some idea what they are talking about.

 

Ebay seems full of people who are unaware of their consumer rights, no idea how to to enforce them and have been brainwashed into believing that Ebay/Paypal are the Law.

 

eBay Forums: PayPal have completely screwed me ...

Lol, the 'experts' are all ebay users, absolutely no staff involved. They all give their time voluntarily to help people and give advice on how to sort their account problems etc. I've used eBay for 4 years and only encountered one problem in that time from a non-paying bidder. But, I don't use PayPal for UK, cheques only.
