    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be 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.

we sent the s.a.r. & received a letter back(17/05/07) which says that they are prepared to reduce £20 fees to £12(to be in line with there competitors!!!!) as a goodwill gesture. they have refunded £239 onto my account.

at first i thought that wasn't bad, however having found this site & reading some of the threads i wondered if anyone had any advice on if i can claim any more back:confused:

I would go for the lot. Loads of people on this forum have, used the tried and tested methods and you will not go wrong. If you have sent your prelim letter, then follow up with LBA which you will find in the bank templates library. You can combine this letter with rejection of their goodwill gesture. Any questions just shout and someone will be along to give advice and support.

yes, the charges added up to £695 & my wife calculated the interest as £55.60. we were scared to pursue it any further with being over our limit.

theletter (17/05/07) does say that if they don't here from us in four weeks they'll consider the matter closed. am i still within my rights to push for the rest of the charges??

A penalty fee is a penalty fee, it's either wholly unlawful or not unlawful at all. IMHO, when they do this they are admitting that they have taken money from you unlawfully but to get you to go away they'll give 60% back and ask you not to be naughty again!

 

Go through the charges properly, you can claim the interest back as well.

 

As for the letter giving you 4 weeks, provided you haven't signed anything, although not being a claims expert, I can't see any reason for not going down the formal claim route for all the charges and interest.

 

If you're having debt /creditor problems i'ld highly recommend having a good browse through the debt sections as well, there's lots of friendly people there (including me!) and we're always happy to assist.

 

Almost forget, welcome to the forums! :)

 

Good luck & best wishes, Dave.

we have been making a minimum payment to cap 1 for over 12 months now, recently they sent us a finacial form to fill in. we never sent it back as it actually showed we shouldn't be able to pay them anything!!!

have now received a letter which looks like a default notice.

" you have broken your cap 1 credit card agreement because, by entering into a long term payment plan with cap 1 you have made an arrangement with your creditors for a compromise about how much you will pay them. this is a breach of your agreement as described in the section headed default

if you want to cancel you long term payment plan please contact us by letter or telephone within 28 days of this letter. if you cancel your long term payment plan then we will cancel this default notice, and the action listed below will not be taken.

if you chosse to cancel your ltpp you will be required to make at least the minimum payments required under your credit card agreement. you will also need to make arrangements to repay any overdue amount on your account."

it then has the stuff about default & not using your card etc.

i've been quite happy paying what we can afford to pay, they know we can't make the minimum payments as they suggested the ltpp in the first place. what happens if i don't stop the payments we've been making?

there are charges on the account but unfortunately before we found this site we had S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)'d cap 1 and they reduced the debt by about £250.

 

 

Did they make you sign anything when they did that?

how much should the charges have been?

Can you scan and post the letter mentioned in post #1?

Is there anything in their T&C's that say that this will happen?

If so could you scan and post that too

Thanks

I think you will have to start all over again.

In your post on 24March you say Cap 1 supplied a CCA, but the debt collector defaulted on the CCA.

Was the CCA Valid or not.

A little more detail will give the guys more to work on.

As Cerbs says, send these clowns that letter, whilst they are in default of your legal request they can't do anything, least of all go near a court.

Besides, court is NOTHING to worry about, if you look at it a bit like humans and snakes, as much as some of us are scared of snakes in reality the snake is far more scared of us and will do what it can to avoid coming into contact with us.

 

Exactly the same can be said about DCA's and courts..
