    • I have read through a number of similar threads, but one thing i'm not sure how to proceed about is that I live abroad in the middle east and have done for several years. The claim letter was sent to my parents address and I really don't want them to be harassed about this. I am sure I sent the original creditor a registered letter with my change of address but can't find this currently. I am not in a position to pay this, and tend to come back to the UK to see family at most once a year (less since Covid), so not particular bothered about my financial score...more concerned about harassment of my parents. I have not registered on the gov gateway or anything like that.  Details below (as best as i can), and thank you for taking the time to look into it. Also redacted claim form attached: Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business Centre (Northampton) If possible please scan redact and upload a full page copy of page 1 of the claim form.

    • While we wait for someone to explain how farage is any better than sunak  .. if not worse   One of many likely upcoming belly laughs   Reform chairman Richard Tice has accused the Tories of (reform like) “dirty tricks” after one of his party’s candidates withdrew his papers to stand at the last minute and endorsed former cabinet minister Sir Gavin Williamson.

    • See what you think of the attached. I have to do some proofreading of an English grammar book for an Italian publisher this weekend - for money! - so I'm afraid corrections and suggestions will come in dribs & drabs.  I've totally knackered the layout, the numbering and the order of your Exhibits but there will be several versions done so don't worry about that ATM. Your arguments are superb. What is less superb is the way you jump from one to the other and back again, so I haven't changed your words, but I have moved the paragraphs around and given each section a heading. New bits are shown in red. Crossed out crossed out in black is something you've quoted from the government Code of Practice, but that has since been withdrawn so unfortunately that argument has to go. Your paras 7 & 8 don't harm your case but to me are waffle and can go.  Keeping the arguments clear & concise will always impress a judge. IMPORTANT - did you ever send Simple Simon a CPR request?   Defendant's WS - version 2.pdf

    • 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.

Thank you hellhasnofury. Have checked but cant find any other company with the same name as CCS RB collections I don't have any other information other then that. Trying to trace a payment taken from my account via this company thats the only information that is on my statment. I have made a dispute with my bank but even they are having trouble getting this information. Thought maybe someone would know who they are or perhaps they may use another name. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

It was done by a card payment so I obviously spoke with someone on the phone at the time but was having lots of phone calls from different creditors so probably wasn't aware of whom I was paying what. My bank has tried to get details from this company via the transaction but they haven't responed and because the payment was made in Dec 2006 its out of the visa regulations time. So my bank is trying to get more information on this merchant as I don't know what this money was taken for or who they where working on behalf of. I think maybe there may have been two dca's collecting on the same debt.

 

Midge61 Rang CCS collection but they have no record of me.

 

On my statement the name says CCS RB Collections Westcliff On, GB.

I think westcliff On - must be southend Essex area...

 

I have also checked companies house no joy...

 

Not sure what else I can do?

HI

Ive had another look but can't seem to come up with anything. Seems very strange but can only think that they are no longer trading.

So if no more payments have been taken and no contact from them then hopefully it is finished with.

I have emailed the OFT to see if they have any record of them as they should hold a credit licence. Don't hold much hope. Other then that hope my bank comes up with some sold information.

 

I know it was only a one off payment but I would like to know where it went. The only thing I can think of is I must have had two collection agencies working for the same debt.

 

Will let you know if I get any good news.

 

Thanks for your help...

Thank you Sid07 sorry its taken so long to get back to you.

 

So did your bank confirm that ccs rb collection took the money but it was a payment for your bank on scotland credit card. If the money was debited by ccs rb collection how does your bank know who the payment was for?

 

Are CCS RB Collection an collection agency or are they part of the Bank of Scotland?

 

I'm still waiting for my bank to get back to me and provide this information.

 

Thanks again.

Hi

 

I found this thread while searching for CCS RB Collections, which has just appeared on my bank statement.

 

I've now been on to my bank and they confirmed it's a payment I made to my Royal Bank of Scotland Credit Card.

 

Hope this helps.

To clarify Bank of Scotland & Royal Bank of Scotland are 2 different companies.

HBOS - Halifax / Bank of Scotland

RBoS - Royal Bank of Scotland / NatWest

 

Dont want you chasing the wrong company

Hi Lizzy40, Gillie35 and all CCS searchers

While checking my Barclaycard statement on line today I found a debit of over £2000 to this mystery company. It appeared as CCS RB collections Westcliff On. I rang Barclaycard immediately as I have certainly not authorised this payment and it has been suspended. I checked on Google and found this thread - all very mysterious and worrying. My husband and I only have one joint credit card and have no connection with any other banks or credit cards.

Barclaycard have stopped our card and are issueing new ones and new pin numbers but I would like to get to the bottom of it if possible.

That does sound a bit worrying.

 

CCS RB collection are a collection company for the Royal Bank of Scotland, very strange that they would have collected a payment from your Barclaycard. For a debit to be on your Barclaycard statement your card must have been used in some way. Its lucky you noticed it and got it stoped but I would still look into it. If you have a reference number on your statment perhaps ring the Royal Bank of Scotland and ask for their collections department and ask them why they have taken this payment and what it is for? However Barclaycard should be investing - let us know if you get any more information.

 

Lizzy
