    • no DCA is a bailiff end of neither do they have any legal powers whatsoever. i would write to everyone simply giving your current abroad address , inc proof of residency. that will stop all threats going to anywhere else.  
    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.

    • 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 badhairweek,

 

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm feeling like all my hard work is going to go to waste as it's my husband's account and he is less than useless!

 

I really hope that we don't go to court, as he won't know what to do or say. Anything I try telling him just goes straight in and straight back out again.

 

Just wanted to wish you luck, and hope that you hear something before friday. I'll keep lookng for your posts!

 

Bev

If you want to represent someone you need to inform the court in writing and that person still needs to be present at the hearing.

Thanks GuidoT and Scuzziemoo.

I was looking for the answer to this question and I got a bit side tracked into reading other threads.http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/96898-helping-friend-against-ltsb.html?highlight=litagation+friend#post897951 This one has scared me.

No, not yet. I've just checked the bank. Still nothing.

I've phoned SC&M. I gave them the case number and reminded them that they are due in court tomorrow. They said they would make a note of it.

I called the court and they said SC&M still haven't submitted a bundle therefore evidence other than their defence is inadmissable.

However we still have to appear before the judge and present our case.

I don't have anyone to watch the kids so my partner is going it alone. If we don't get a sympathetic judge then we've lost. And a day's wages on top.

I'm very upset at the moment. please don't let this all have been for nothing. It's not as straight forward as Martin Lewis said.....

....I'm going to check the bank again.

Thanks Christina. I'm going to pick up the big one from school, then I'm taking all the kids to town to get ink, paper,folders, etc just in case i have to spend this evening putting together a more proffessional looking bundle for court tomorrow. It's all stuffed in a scruffy envelope at the mo. I need 2 more copies of everything, in case we are proving points tomorrow, don't I.

I'll check the bank in town again just in case. If it's in I won't be cooking tea tonight!!

just cooked dinner. Still nothing.

 

I don't want to be a misery but it's looking a bit desperate now. The chances of boyfriend even reading all the bundle before tomorrow are slim, never mind understanding the arguements! He's a chef and he doesn't finish til about 10.30pm. We may as well be sending a chimp before the judge.

N ot read all of your thread - but you talk about getting bundle together tonight before court hearing tomorrow. Mine had to be in 14 days before the hearing. That was what clinched it- **** got the bundle and paid.

Don't get scared - be prepared. YOU WILL WIN.

And no we are not out spending our money - there isn't any to spend. It is paying off other debts that we got after the donkey stole our cash!!!!!

Thanks Dave. This link helps to explain the process of the arguement.

 

I did send in the bundle 2 weeks ago. I'm just tidying up our copy. Highlighting bits, etc I'm putting it all in an impressive looking folder and I've even bought a posh pen!
