    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

If they have microfiched it it is part of a relevant filing system (IIRC Barclaycard tried that one on and got their botty smacked for it) - If it is electronically stored it is part of a relevant filing system and if it is paper-based it is part of a relevant filing system. Stored as components of a Photoshop file probably wouldn't count as part of a relevant filing system! ;)

I have recently been contacted by a debt agency who are making claim to an aged debt from a bank (2003 - when taken out). The original amount borrowed was approx £18k for consolodation purposes.

 

I am seeking some guidance as to how I should proceed.

 

I have requested the CCA as per another Google search before I stumbled on this site. This was carried out on the 23 September 2008. No futher communication was sent.

 

I have since received a copy of the CCA, received yesterday, which by my reckoning is some 6 weeks after my request and well ove the 30+2 days.

 

The CCA does have my signature, but is in the following format:

 

1st page: Limited T&C's - my signature / their signatory

2nd and 3rd pages: Other T&C's.

 

The amount claimed by the debt company is approx £29k. I am shocked at the amount as I had made a number of payments to the bank of the agreed amount and then due to circumstances at the time, reduced the amount to £100 per month with frozen interest.

 

Additionally, I have joined credit expert (otherwise have an impecabble record) and I can see the entry of default against me for £14k ??????

 

Question is, how can they be pursuing me for double the amount of the entry?

 

Also, what should my next move be considering the CCA request and late receiving of said CCA and the fact the amount does not reconcile with the entry on my credit file??

 

I should add I have not admitted any liability or acceptance of this debt to date. My account with the debt agency is on hold for 14 days.

 

Any ideas??? I am willing to clear the amount, but not to the tune of double the amount. I have requested an account statement, instead I was sent utter dribble. confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Any guidance would be appreciated.

When the CCA came back what else came with it?

 

I would suggest you send a Subject Access Request to the bank/loan company and get a full breakdown of the account, statements etc to find out what is on it and how these figures add up and also to the DCA.

... And, the DCA, have they purchased the debt or just acting as an agent? If they purchased the debt, did they write and tell you, did the bank write and tell you?

 

You'll probably find that the dca has had this a long while and been wracking up interest on it at a grand rate of knots, plus a whole load of charges so you need full statements from both Original creditor and the DCA. If you are uncomfortable with the amount then I suggest you inform the dca that the account is now officially in dispute so they cannot go passing it around until the dispute is settled.

can't do it - but I have noticed on the "Application to open an account" there is a section titled "ACCount Cover" and in that secion it says"if you would like cover please sign the account cover section on the Credit Agreement application form."

 

Does this mean that the form is an application form? or a CREDIT AGREEMENT THANKS

Does this mean that the form is an application form?

 

Could very possibly be just that but without seeing the actual doc. it's impossible to say - sorry.

 

Can you try uploading again (minus your personal details) or say what exactly you're having trouble with & someone may be able to help?

I have a separate thread running in the Capital1 forum, but thought I'd post here as well.

 

Cap1 have replied to my CCA request saying they've complied, but only including a copy of their current t&c's. No signatures, and as its a 1990something card the fees are wrong at £12.

 

I'm guessing its unenforceable, but could it be construed that they have discharged their liability under the Act?

 

I don't want to reply saying they've not complied if they have; I'd rather remind them that I requested a signed copy and suggest that what they've sent me isn't enforceable if thats the case.

 

Thanks.

Hello SB100

 

you will need to start your own thread within this forum so things do not get confused and people can help you with whatever questions you have. By posting here you may lose valuable information when people respond to your own individual questions.

 

It is easy just click the start new thread button at the bottom of the forum. Put in an appropriate title but do not use your own name for privacy reasons and submit your questions.

I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner.

------------------------------------------------

Bank charge successes:

Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.

HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did :mad:

PPI Successes

PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.

2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

 

PPI Claims ongoing with:

Cap one Now with the FOS

Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

 

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Post 290 from

***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

 

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

Regarding Groovychickmum's CCA on page one of this thread- is it clear that this is enforceable? I have just received exactly the same. Problem is the second page, as the creases shown on the first page do not match up on the second- they look "unconnected".

 

Without this second page, I take it the agreement would not be enforceable?

Nationwide-A&L-Halifax 1-Student Loans Company-NatWest-Virgin Media-Link-Capital One ALL WON!

Thames Credit -statute barred sent 13/11/08

BCW- prove debt letter- 14/08/08

Apex- CCA 14/08/08

Redcats UK- SAR 14/04/09

Call Serve- CCA 14/08/08

Littlewoods- no CCA letter 03/09/08- Lowells now

Wescot- CCA 19/9/08

Capital One/Debitas- now with Lowells

You can't apply for a CCA skeggs once the account is terminated. If you just have nil balances on the accounts & they are still open, you can apply for the CCAs.
