    • In that case I don't think you'd have any grounds for a claim against the receiver, short of anything actually criminal. The receiver was appointed by the lender so any claim you make should be aginst them. How much equity do you reckon there was when they took possession? Realistic value less outstanding balance (including arrears).  This messing around makes me wonder even more if the property was wildly over valued. Normally a lender would sell and not really care if they got the best price so long as they covered the balance plus their costs. 
    • Hey @lookinforinfo I'm not sure, I don't believe he told them he's the driver. He must have selected an option saying that he's appealing on behalf of the driver or something of the sort. In more news, however, these wannabe thugs are back at it again. Honestly, what a joke. In the letter they sent before this it said they had made "2 attempts" and in this letter they said "4 attempts", I wonder what happened to the "3rd attempt" lol.  WhatsApp Image 2024-04-18 at 14.06.07_44abc9c8.pdf
    • Hi all, I purchased a car in January from Big Motoring World Leeds. At the time of sale I was shown a tab on the salespersons computer marked 'service history' and I was able to take comfort knowing that the car had been serviced on 3 occasions as the date, mileage and company was there on screen. Being a 3 and a bit year old car that, in my mind, constituted full service history 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, collected the car a week later. Once home I settled down to through the book pack etc. Opened the service history booklet and it was completely blank. In addition there were no invoices detailing that any services had been done. I duly contacted BMW and asked them to supply me with proof of service history. They responded saying that on their 'vehicle documentation checklist' I had ticked and then signed to the fact that I had seen the service history and that I was happy with it. I dug out this checklist and what it actually states is 'seen service history online' which I had in the showroom. BMW seem to think that this satisfies their responsibility in providing service history. The reality is that I don't have any proof that the vehicle has ever been serviced! For my own peace of mind I ended up paying for a service that satisfied the manufacturers maintenance schedule to the tune of £330. I even complained to the finance company that the vehicle contravenes the Sale of Goods act 2015 as l, in effect, ot is not as described. Amazingly they weren't interested and instead I just got an email stating that it's not illegal to sell a vehicle without service history and that servicing costs were part and parcel of vehicle ownership. I've since complained to the ombudsman and am awaiting to see if they can help. I have no issue with the car but the treatment and customer service has been the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really know what to do next as I really do feel aggrieved that I've had to pay to service a car that should have already been serviced. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? 🙏

    • 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 every one, i have sent many of cca letters to dca, some own the debts while others are collecting them for there clients.

i have one imperticular debt collctor giving me a load of grief, they never produced a signed copy of my credit agreement with in the 12 + 30 days, all they sent me was a copy of my application form.

the debt collectors (lowell) own the debt which was originaly a capital one credit card of the amount of £363.

i was this morning on the phone to a man from trading standars, he told me, i should of sent the cca request letter to capital one and not lowell financial.

i thought that becouse lowell owned the debt, it was them who should recieve the cca letter

any comments on this would be very greatfuly appriacted.

many thanks michelle xx

You were ok to CCA lowells because if theya re saying they own the debt then they should have your cca. In reality they haven't bothered to get it at time debt was purchased so they will have to ask Cap1 for it who hopefully will have shredded it on sale of debt.

 

If lowells don't produce cca within 12 +2 working days then they are in default and can't enforce debt while in default.

You may receive different advice to your query as people have different experiences and opinions. Please use your own judgement in deciding whose advice to take.

 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified insured professional. Any advice I have offered you is done so on an informal basis, without prejudice or liability.

the DCA brought he debt, the problem of collection is their's.

they did not comply with the CCA, [12+2 & 1 cal month]

so it is now unenforceable.

if they continue they are committing a summary criminal offence.

Mercers, who act for Barclaycard, were on my case so I sent them (Mercers) a CCA request and they have failed to respond for two months and continue to hassle me.

 

Mercers said the CCA request was nothing to do with them yet they are managing my account.:???:

thank you all for replying, lowell, had bought the debt of capital one, infact i have just this moment found the letter from lowells which reads....

we hereby give notice of the assignment of the debtdue to us from you in resect of the balance of £363.33 out standing to capital one.

on 12/12/2006 your account was sold to lowell portfolio i ltd

(yea sold it to them for about £50 i bet !!)

michsienna, I bet it was a lot less than £50.

 

You are completely correct in CCA'ing Lowells, and the man from TS in this case is ill-informed.

This does happen as they are not as well versed in Consumer Credit Law as members of this forum are.

 

Let Lowells continue to ask for repayment as they cannot enforce it.

A few STONGLY worded letters should make them back off.

Even if they do take you to court they don't have a leg to stand on.

Have a read through this thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collectors-debt-collection/90012-just-been-court-cl.html

 

Just out of interest Cap1 DON'T have executed agreements they rely on the appliction form only.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

have you this in writing?

if so time to contact OFT and TS

 

write them a letter saying that they have failed to comply with your CCA request of XXXXXX and have now defaulted.

 

the debt is now unenforcable without a court order and they will look pretty silly suddenly being able to produce one in court when you have already legally requested them to do so.

the judge will laugh them out of the door.

 

you might wish to do some reading in the threads regarding CCA requests so you further understand why/what you should be doing.

Perhaps show this section of the Consumer Credit Act to Trading Standards

 

175 Duty of persons deemed to be agents

Where under this Act a person is deemed to receive a notice or payment as agent of the creditor or owner under a regulated agreement, he shall be deemed to be under a contractual duty to the creditor or owner to transmit the notice, or remit the payment, to him forthwith.

Irrespective of who trading standards believe the creditor to be, the above section confirms your request was correctly served.

Unfortunately no. I've been ignoring their phone calls but I couldn't resist answering to them on Wednesday for a bit of amusement.

 

Mercers asked for my security details and I refused but they went on to discuss my account in any case.

 

They said a CCA to them was useless and nothing to do with them and that a bailiff would be calling to my home soon.

 

I received a letter today from them giving me 48 hours notice of a visit from a 'local' collection agency.

 

Mercers have defaulted the request and offended but are still sending letters, texts, phone calls...:???:
