    • That is great news. Many people would have given up and paid after losing two appeals so well done for hanging in and fighting. It has paid off and they have finally backed down before getting whipped in Court. I looked at your NTD and your NTK again to see if there was a chance of going for a breach of your GDPR. Sadly although your NTK on its own could have well deserved a claim, the NTD is good enough not to warrant a claim even though it wasn;t compliant with PoFA. As it is the first Notice that mostly accounts for  GDPR breaches there is a reasonable cause for the NTD to have been issued. However you are now freed from worries about appearing in Court and you have learnt about the dangers of parking especially where the rogues that patrol private parking spaces are concerned. Thank you for making a donation and should you fall victim in the future to the parking rogues or anything else that we protect from, you are always welcome .
    • Hi guys I'm about to submit the defence as per below     There has been no reply to our CPR 31:14 request.  Is it worth adding that I (driver, not registered keeper) didn't actually enter or park in the car park and was sat at the petrol station forecourt the entire time?  Or is that covered by the simple points?   Thanks
    • a DCA is not a bailiff and cant enforce anything, even if they've been to court who are they please? sar to the original creditor FIO isnt applicable they are not a public body. who was this query sent too all the more reason to teach her young upon how these powerless DCA's monsters  work... she must stop payments now  
    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.

    • 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 Charley,

 

I picked up this thread somewhere towards the middle, so maybe I have missed something but I thought you required the DCA's bank details in order to proceed with the Garnishee Order?

 

If you have the details already, then forget my comment :-)

it's about time our good-for-nothing government stopped harrassing the ordinary citizen and gave these rogue debt collectors a taste of their own medicine. Looks like the good guys are just an easy target. Why don't this government do something useful at last. All this money spend on this agency and that commission - what does it achieve? - nothing, except jobs for their cronies. Seems to me the government is scared of these debt collectors and their legal sharp boys.

yes, i understand you got a forthwith order

 

the court system makes allowances for people to dispute debts so that if they lose- and pay up within 28 days of the judgement- then no record of the judgement is placed on the register which people can see for 6 years

 

if you force them to pay before the 28 days are up then no one will ever see on their record that they have a ccj

 

it is not for you to remind them of that

 

if you wait for 28 days THEN take enforcement action as they have not coughed up then that ccj will remain of THEIR credit file for 6 years

Doubt this will make any difference to them. Quite a few banks have CCJs, but do you ever check this before entrusting them with your money? The system is biased... :-(

I'm actually on the reverse of this kind of action. 1st post so please bare with me).

My new partner has been owed apx £200k (amounts of £100k in 2007-to present sum). This was lent to a man she met through work & following instructions from her boss, & was given in good faith to help him secure custodial right to his daughter.

Since that time he has slowly siphoned off her life savings,(for his business dealings & personal life) using guile & subtle threats along with stories of his & his family's links to the "Security Services" & his powerful contacts, (he was a succesful journalist), he is a huge drug user, has a full range of dodgy contacts & is adept at using the police whenever he feels a need. All while making no attempt to settle this debt.

My partner is now facing considerable financial difficulties & has finally 'fessed' to the embarrasment of falling victim & finally asked for my help.

She has recently been sacked from her PA job to a middle eastern family, due to the contact & conduct of this man & is at present going through the process of an employment tribunal, (another tale).

To keep this short. I am no wall-flower, am ex military & have worked in the security industry for almost 20 years. I have refrained from my natural instincts & airing on the side of caution, attempted to arrange a meeting with this man to facilitate some form of repayment plan.

This was in the form of a text message to ask if he would meet, how he intended to repay & when he could start.

His reply was a tirade of offensive, rude texts & calls to both my partner & myself, including false accusations of threats to him & his property along with warnings to us both of his contacts & consequences of our continued attempt to pursue this.

To the point.......

After I had attempted to call him yesterday, (about a meeting) first on his mobile..no answer , then on his alternative 'dealers' mobile....no answer, I called his apartment (exclusive address in central London), he answered & hung up. I called back, (assuming my bad signal), I greeted him, he hung up. This happened 3 more times until he finally spoke & I asked for a possible meeting to discuss this issue. I was then subject to 10 mins of his threats & insults (water off a duck..) until he finally stated he would get me sorted out & I didn't want to mess with him or his MI6 friends & hung up. I left it at that & headed to my sons birthday dinner in the midlands.

My partner called me around 11pm to state 2 uniformed police officers had called at her house to speak to me accussing me of harassment. As I was still in the midlands they left. 07.50 this morning 3 officers called to ask me to sign a document in relation to his accusations. I asked them if they were here to investigate the matter they said NO, they were here to speak to me. When I asked to see the complaint they said they didn't have the details other than I had continuously called him, threatening him & his partner by saying I was outside his apartment with "2 darkies & a crowbar". The officers had not interviewed him or seen the evidence but assumed it must be true...

What are my legal rights with this? He can simply make up another encounter & I'll be arrested.

mm are you sure your;e not a debt collector?(LOL)

 

seriously, the only way forward in this is for your partner to make a complaint against this man for fraud

 

if the money was obtained as you say by deception then it is a police matter to start with

 

a conviction will then make a civil claim much more feasible
