      At the mediation stage for purchased debt - should I mediate if my position is they dont have legal right to claim?

      By nat8808 · Posted

      Hi all,        I really need to start my own thread on this Claim with Overdales/Lowell for a Cap One debt. but have already got to this stage .. My initial question for the moment - until replies come in - is that I figure my main stance is that a purchased debt cannot be claimed, debts can only be claimed by the original issuer of the debt .. but mediation is about coming to an agreement. So would I be acting in bad faith if I enter into mediation yet not seeking to come to a financial agreement? Also, I need to reject the scheduled time slot and ask for another as I'm not going to be free during those hours. The wording of the email gives the impression that I am given this one slot and if I reject it, then I am rejecting mediation - there is no mention of rescheduling, only of freeing up the slot for others .. although, I would have thought it would say so, if there were no possibility to reschedule.. Can I ask for another date without issue?   Anyway, if it's more helpful, I am happy to post up my defence and start a proper thread? I had a lot on at the time and had to do things right away due to the time limits, so didn't feel I had time to come here and go back and forth for info, so put my defence together from reading through relevant threads, late at night. CCA request appears to have been fulfilled (I'm still to check the accuracy of the documents). The other thing, asking solicitors about the particulars of the claim, hasn't .. although I forgot to ask for proof of postage and didn't send recorded post either (whereas the CCA I did), so not sure if I can pursue that easily ..?

      Poor cleanliness and condition of rental property

      By snappyturtle14 · Posted

      Looking for a bit of assistance. I moved into a rented flat on 20th April 2024. I viewed it on the 14th April. Before I moved into the flat, the letting agency provided me with an offer sheet, in said offer sheet I made a number of requests and conditions related to me progressing with assuming the tenancy. These were: 1. A professional clean of the flat prior to move in date. 2. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet be replaced prior to move in date. These were all planned actions by the landlord when I viewed it. I could see the boxes for the hob and other items in the flat. I prepared to move in on the 20th April but none of the work mentioned in the offer sheet had been completed. The standard of the clean was abysmal - mouldy food left in the fridge, nothing wiped down, bathroom mouldy etc. The hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were also not installed. I decided to not officially move into the flat as it was not in a condition as promised, my partner lives relatively close by so I lived with her initially. It was only on the 24th April that the hob, shower glass and bathroom cabinet were installed. The cleaners visited again 2 weeks after move in date (3rd April) and attempted another clean of the flat. Again, it was a poor job. I resorted to cleaning the flat myself. I have numerous pictures of the things I identified during my clean and have sent this all to the letting agency. Because of the issues faced, I asked the letting agency that the rent be reduced for the initial month. Exactly halved - to represent the 2 weeks that I was not living at the property. The landlord and letting agency have responded by saying that they will be willing to accept 1 weeks rent as a deduction but not 2. My question is, am I in a strong position to insist on the 2 weeks rent returned or have I been fortunate that they have even offered a weeks rent as a deduction? I would like to insist on the 2 weeks. I have paid the 2 weeks only as my rent collection date passed 2 days ago. Thank you for any assistance. Any further relevant details required let me know and I will provide.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 can think of a few 'rears with the gear' that I could quite enjoy being close to ................... errrr, that doesn't sound quite right ....

 

 

how about, I've seen some rears (on the opposite sex I emphasise) that brightened my day no end. :p

 

 

Errr, that doesn't sound much better does it .... think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder if the Boss is gainfully employed again??

As I got pregnant both times in the middle of the week and it's now some 39 years since the last pregnancy .... I haven't bothered with worrying about crossing things since then. :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been too much fun with 'things' uncrossed. :p:p:p;)

Hi Angelsl and Charley - long time no see/hear.

 

So So So glad to know you're all still here.

Lots been happening (apart from the pain in the bum Charley). Still got the pain but had an epidural in July/Aug - first few nights without pain - glorious!! Back at work and still suffering - because I'm back at work and not on prescribed painkillers they won't give me another epidural!!!!

 

My friend, Carmel, who a lot of you will know lost her son to cancer last year, went on holiday to Spain with her other 2 sons in July for a family holiday in memory of James. She fell by the pool and broke her ankle in 3 places. Operation in Spain - no-one spoke English - sons argued over who was going to look after her - eldest son more worried about his children (who in-advertently caused the accident - long story!) Been ferrying her around ever since.

 

My eldest son came home from Norfolk - split up from his partner. Instead of going away and leaving me to downsize my 2 seem to be here forever...........

 

My discounted mortgage rate came to an end at the end of September. Mortgage went up £229 a month on 1st October. Came down £79 in October so I'm hoping for a serious rate cut tomorrow!! Just living month to month....... and hoping.............

 

Got stitched up recently................. any help appreciated - tell me where to post?....

 

Saw a website for cheap cigarettes................I know, I know.............anyway placed an order for 2 cartons (400 cigs) for my mum. she lives in Ireland and is feeling the pinch financially. She's smoked all her life and she's 82! They send the cigs 200 at a time to get around import duty. she got the first 200 but the 2nd carton was stopped by customs - they want 74 euros, VAT, Import duty, etc. (more than I paid for 400)

After she got the first 200 I placed another order for 2 cartons (approx £62) - these have been retained by customs!!!!

 

The website tells you they are able to ship to Europe but it is your responsibility. They also tell you any undelivered cigs will be returned to them and you will be refunded, BUT they don't put a return address on the package. I know this because I got in touch with the customs in Ireland who told me it is illegal to ship cigs in this way in the EU - you are allowed to bring in 200 but only if you are travelling. The website is

cigs-sale.com. I would be grateful for any advice on what to do. I have emailed them and I'm not getting any joy.

 

Charley I'm so sorry to hear about your redundancy - I do hope you get something soon.

 

Robdblynd - I'm so so so sorry I haven't been in touch - I will email you soon, i promise.

 

So Sorry for the long post............................ just off loading!!

Blimey..........look what the wind blew in:D;):D

 

 

 

Hiya cass, great post, sounds like you've been having a lovely time when you've not been here with us:rolleyes:

 

 

can't help with the cigs bit I'm afraid, but thinking about your friend's accident..doesn't it amaze you how people react in circumstances where they need to show support or actually do something rather than just talk. You find out who people really are in times of adversity

 

 

Can't you get prescribed painkillers to enable you to qualify for another epidural? or is that too simple a question:confused:

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

Charley, you're so right.

 

Her eldest son was more concened about his children not enjoying their holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She had a terrible time - pins and metal plate put her in her foot - should have had DVT injection before being put on the plane home but because the instructions were all in Spanish no one realised. Thank god she was OK.

I was visiting my mum when she got home and my son called me to tell me what happened to her, so I told him (where were her sons??) to get her to the hospital (she was waiting for an appt. to see her GP..........????) Thank God she went because they took the plaster off and realised her foot was "set" at the wrong angle!!

 

She's out of plaster now but still off work and this is since July.
