    • Had a letter response today dated 12/6/24 from PRA Group re request for information consumer credit act 1974. Confirming they are in receipt of my CCA letter request - and that they are requesting the required information. They returned the £1 postal order. And my CCA letter. Stating that they will contact me with an update ASAP. They attached/included a standard ( non personal ) page about ' what they should provide ' and ' what happens If I don't get this information'.    I need to file my defence by 21 June 24. Any suggestions as to what that defence should be ?   
    • Thanks @dx100uk for responding promptly.    To be quite honest with you, applying for breathing space might not really help except some short term relief. I don’t want to default either as I might lose my job too and I cannot really afford it. Sorry for sounding bit stupid but is there something I can do to stop them charging interest and agree on reduced payments? I am working on information that @BankFodderhas requested and will be sharing it later today.  
    • who said send the sb letter to RC anyway? we said the debt owner not the grease monkey.
    • Thanks guys. Received a letter today from Resolvecall to say that I have been removed from their files and my account has been closed, it continues to say that I maybe contacted in future by Intrum or another debt collection agency. Do you think it’s worth finding Itrums address and sending them the same letter? Thanks in advance

    • 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 all,

 

I have been away from the CAG scene for a while and not really sure what is going on with the credit card companies with regards to the high court test case. I know that the test case is for banks only but how has it affected your CC claims?

 

Also has anyone out there been successful with claiming contractual interest (recently)? I have just done my calculations and contractual interest adds about £265 to my claim

 

 

Many thanks

K

When I said contractual interest, I mean interest on the charges. I've been a bit confused about the whole contractual thing so I'd be grateful if somebody could set me straight

 

My charges come to £459 amd I have added interest on those charges at whatever rate they have charged me (rates have fluctuated over the last 6 years) and this is what I am asking for in my prelim. I am asking for it simply because the interest is DIRECTLY related to the unlawful charges.

 

I don't think that is contractual interest though. I know that if this goes to court, I can claim 8% ON TOP OF this but where does contractual interest fit in? Am I right in thinking I can either claim 8% statutory OR 18.9% contractual interest at court stage?

 

I know that if I claim contractual, I must mention it in my prelim letter, so how do I word it? Is there a link to a template specifically for claiming contractual interest?

 

Thanks,

K
