    • dont go near them bunch of scammers! ive removed ref. dx  
    • 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!

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.

    • 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.

I have just received a copy of my credit agreement from moorcroft which I originally requested a few months ago. Can anybody advise me what I need to check under the consumer credit act 1974 and to see if this agreement will stand up in court? The agreement is with a catalogue company.

Thanks for that link I have read through it and checked the scaned copy of the credit agreement, mine is different. What do I need to know if its within the terms and conditions of the consumer credit act 1974, if it will stand up in court and if the debt has been past to a debt recovery company is it still legally binding with them.

I'm far from an expert Lizzy, but if you requested the Credit Agreement do they not have 12 days + 2 to comply with this and that's it timewise?

 

Only say this because you mentioned that they sent it a couple of months after you requested it.

 

Anyone help?

My understanding is after the 12 days the account goes into default where is becomes unenforceable and after the one month period becomes an offence you can report to the relavent authorities, it doesn't however wipe ou the debt (unless you negotiate with the creditor and get them to wipe it out-many people have done this reading through other threads). The debt is then on hold until they provide the credit agreement. The big question is, is it a properly executed agreement and does it contain all the prescribed terms and conditions. If it is correct unfortunately you will have to pay up, but you should be able to write and make an arrangement to pay what you can afford . If it isn't correct it will still be unenforceable so you need to establish this. All the above is just what I have gathered from reading many threads in this forum so worth a good read around.

Good Luck

I have read on somebody else's post that even through they have taken longer then they should have to produce the agreement they have now issued it so therefore it is still binding. Maybe I have that wrong but thats what I thought..

 

Not sure if its binding only with the original company or if its still applies with the debt recovery company who is dealing with it? Hopfully someone can help me out!

Thank you alibobsy yes thats what I thought. Do you know how to find out if the agreement has been properly executed? How would I find out this information? As my debt is now with a debt recovery company is my agreement taken over by them and is it therefore enforceable by them. By the way its a catalogue agreement.

btw has the DCA also provided a copy of the deed of assignment to prove they have bought the debt and it is legally enforceable by them?

Best thing to do if you can is scan the copy of the agreement in (remove all personal info first).

Just trying to find where someone posted the prescribed terms and conditions for credit agreements, I think it needs to have the terms and conditions on it as well as the APR, credit limit and the term of the loan(or the fact it is a rolling agreement like a credit card). I believe it also has to have your signature on it and the signature of someone at the finance co/bank/catalogue. There are some much more knowledgeable people on here regarding these agreements and I am sure they will be along later to help.

good luck

Ps if you can scan the agreement in as rory says plenty of peeps on here can advise if it looks correct

Everything you have mentioned is in my agreement. surely if the debt company has brought the debt how can the agreement be with them their name isn't on it. Hows does that work?

The most relevant sections of the CCA1974 are sections 60 & 61(1) as below:

 

60 (1) The Secretary of State shall make regulations as to the form and content of documents embodying regulated agreements, and the regulations shall contain such provisions as appear to him appropriate with a view to ensuring that the debtor or hirer is made aware of -

 

(a) the rights and duties conferred or imposed on him by the agreement,

(b) the amount and rate of the total charge for credit (in the case of a consumer credit agreement),

© the protection and remedies available to him under the Act, and

(d) any other matters which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, it is desirable to know about in connection with the agreement.

 

(2) Regulations under subsection (1) may in particular -

(a) require specific information to be included in the prescribed manner in documents, and other specified material to be excluded;

(b) contain requirement to ensure that specified information is clearly brought to the attention of the debtor or hirer, and that one part of a document is not given insufficient or excessive prominence compared with another.

 

(3) I have left this out as it's not relevant.

 

(4) Again not relevant.

 

61-(1) A regulated agreement is not properly executed unless

 

(a) a document in the prescribed form itself containing all the prescribed terms and conforming to regulations under section 60(1) is signed in the prescribed manner both by the debtor or hirer and by or on behalf of the creditor or owner, and

(b)the document embodies all the terms of the agreement, other than implied terms, and

©the document is, when presented or sent to the debtor or hirer for signature, in such a state that all terms are readily legible.

 

There are also regulations with regards to the layout of the agreement and the signing and dating of the agreement.

You can assign a debt to a third party in a deed of assignment.

My agreement seems all above board I have tried to scan it onto site but the original copy isn't very clear, but why would a finance company issue an agreement if its wasn't correct?

 

As my account is now in the hands of debt collection agency would they be able to give me a breakdown on what the balance I owe made up from. I have tried to get this information from the original company but they have said they don't hold any records of my account any more. I haven't any statements to check and I dont believe I owe all this balance they are asking for.

If you ask for a statment with all the charges/transactions since they took over the account they should provide you with one. Then you can decide if the balance looks right or not.

Thank you alibobsy,

 

Do you mean the debt collection agency can only give me the charges applied to my account from the date they took the debt over. I need to know what the whole debt is made up from?

 

Also I have just gone over my credit agreement and there is a paragraph which says:

 

"We will be entitled to charge to your account the reasonable cost of enforcing our rights against you, including the cost of letters and telephone calls by us or our agents, in respect of any failure by you to make payments in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions"

 

What do they mean by agents, could that be the debt collection company who has bought the debt. The term agent I would have thought meant working on behalf of someone else.

This would coverthe DCA - If this isn't provided for in the original agreement you signed then basically a DCA would be on v dodgy ground to charge you anything.

Thank you powelll very much appreciated.

 

This is the wording on the original agreement which moorcroft have sent me when I ask for a copy, its signed and dated everything looks above board. So powelll what you are saying then the DCA is covered by this agreement in other words although I had an agreement with additions catalogue the agreement has been transfered over to moorcroft who can use all the same terms and conditions. Evan if moorcroft brought the debt they are not working on behalf of additions?

Sorry to be a pain but have another problem. I have just used the link to the information commissions search to find where to send letter to request data protection subject access information. I have used the Registered Office number which is on my agreement but nothing comes up. If I search using the companys name then it comes up with a different registered number; is this correct?
