    • Yee I mentioned after the new regulations. Depends if the amount off to date will take that threshold below £50k
    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards

    • 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.

Searching through lots of stickies and threads, I'm still unclear as to the difference between the 12+2 working days default deadline and the 30 day calendar date criminal offence timeline. I understand the legal differences but what does it mean to the debtor?

Some posts on here state that after the 12+2 period has passed, the debt is unenforceable by law. But is that correct?

Also, do postal strikes affect the 12+2 period? (once the cca request has been received)

Thanks for any clarification .....

Intresting question. From what I gather and im no expert is after the 12+2 days they have to goto court to be able to reenfoece the debt. After the 30 days you can report them to the powers that be to drop them in the poo-poo.

 

Im subscribing tom this post as im intrested in the correct answer to.

It's always best to send by rec/del so you have a delivery date and the 12+2 timescale doesn't come in to it.

 

Beginning the day after delivery, "they" have 12 working days to supply, after that the request is in default and cannot be enforced by anyone. After a calendar month in default a summary Criminal Offence is committed which must be reported to Trading Standards within 6 months. A calendar month is calculated using 30 normal days unless the last day falls upon a Sunday or Bank Holiday in which case it's 31 days.

 

Any clearer now? ;)

 

Regards, Dave.

Sorry to jump in your thread risibilis, if i may i have a question for DMS.

 

What happens if the CCA turns up 1 week after the 12 days have finished.

and

What happens if it turns up 1 week after the 12+2+30 days. or anytime after the timespans.

Enforceable again.

and

Would have to be enforced by the Court, but if the CCA was ok it probably would be.

 

Forget this +2 thing too, send by rec/del and the clock starts ticking the day after delivery and there is proof that it was delivered.

 

Regards, Dave.

OK i think i got it so for example you have a debt with abc123 collections. You are paying them and you CCA them. You carry on paying upto the 12th day then you can stop payments untill a CCA turns up on your door.

Sort of, thanks, Dave.

It's probably best if I give specific dates here.

I sent a CCA request, recorded delivery, which was signed for on Saturday 30 June. By my calculations the 12+2 is up today, Thursday 19th July. Am I right?

Or do they get an extra day's grace because there was a one day postal strike in the middle of this period?

(And it's good to see you back on the site :) )

I don't mind you jumping in at all, Ashmk. In fact you worded the question better than me!

At the risk of sounding like a pedant - or just stupid - if the cca is enforceable if it's flourished by the creditor after the default deadline, then what's the point of the 12 day deadline?

Default - 18 July

Offence - 17 August

 

Forget this +2 thing if you have a delivery date!

The CCA is unenforceable whilst in default. That's just the way the law is written, which is in our favour..

Okay, thanks Dave, got it!

So, the really important date is the 30 calendar days one? When the debt becomes unenforceable in law.

Just to add something to all this.

Once the CCA passes the 12 + Month and the "creditor"/DCA sends letters damanding payment or aking threats then it is time to get Trading Standards involved as this "debt" hasn't been legally proved to exist.

This is the main reason whay it is extremely important to log and document all of your dealings with DCA's.

 

As Dave mentioned without a compliant credit agreement then enforcement or any action is NOT possible. Ths is a FULL defence in law, no matter what the DCA says otherwise.

NO agreement = NO contract = NO debt.

 

Ok over simplified as the debt still exists, but is unenforceable, even in court.

There is a good precdent case that covers non-compliant credit agreements: House of Lords - Wilson and others v. Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (Appellant)

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too
