    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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,

 

Have arrived at this site through recommendation of my Mother who has received loads of help from forum members.

Just want to offload my anger somewhere :-x and see what comments anyone might have.

 

Got into financial difficulties last year after leaving the armed forces. Came out with a bit of debt, which had until that time been quite manageable. Anyway, back in civie street and unable to find work, so debts increased.

 

At the time, I opened up a further basic bank account with the Abbey, which I had been advised to do. Admittedly, very rarely was anything in the account. After a year of worry and lots of hassle from some very mean debt collection agencies, I joined back up.

 

On three different occasions, I went to my local branch to ensure that the account would still be active, so that my salary could be paid in. "Oh yes, no problem there":rolleyes: I was told. Guess what, get to my barracks abroad, go for money on pay day and can't access it! Loads of hassle but eventually get enough to come home on leave.

 

Go to local branch, beginning of 2weeks leave. Told there's no problem with the account blah blah blah - must have put wrong pin number in!! Ongoing saga continues, until staff member tries card with me. Then advised to contact customer services, where I am told that the account is now closed and I will have to go down to branch and open another one.

 

Absolutely furious at this point, but ask politely if the old account could be reopened as I have salary going into that account on 31st and need to be able to leave money for partner and children, as well as being able to see to self in readiness for deployment overseas within next two weeks!

Again told to go to local branch.

 

Go down, to be told I will need to see bank manager who is having his lunch. To go back in half an hour with id.

Outcome - new basic account. Nothing further could be done!! Not even offered an apology for the wrong info having been given on every occasion visited branch. If I hadn't been so desperate to have an account with so little time left (go back Saturday), I would have gone elsewhere.

 

So, then spent rest of afternoon, chasing main payroll to find out if they could pay into new account. Lo and behold - pay already processed and on its way to old account where it could be put in a holding account or sent back. Either way, can't access any of the money, so won't be able to leave anything with my family, and in turn bills won't be paid this month.

 

Would be grateful for any thoughts on this. I know I'm away shortly, but would really like to object to how all this was dealt with. However, I'm unsure of where it should possibly go, and I'm not great at being able to word an appropriate letter.

 

Maybe one of you has come accross sometning similar? Anyway thanks for letting me vent my frustration.

The first thing to do is raise a complain with the bank. This has to be done in writing, ask the bank for a copy of it's complaints procedure. They then have 8 weeks to resolve your complaint, if you are not happy with their response to your complaint you can then raise a complaint with the FOS.

 

I know this doesn't help you regarding paying this months bills, etc.

 

Did the bank close the old account without actually informing you? Can your payroll issue you with a cheque, possibly they will need confirmation from the bank that this is a dead account.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Hi soldier boy.

 

a)Time is very short but I'd do one of two things (preferably both).

 

Write briefly (or get your Mum to do so) to:

 

"e-mail [email protected] - please include daytime phone number, postal address and a separate note addressed to the offending organisation giving them permission to talk to Mary Stone. We regret we cannot reply to individual letters. Please do not send original documents." [ex yesterday's 'Daily Mail']

The "Daily Mail" is red hot on both inefficient banks and bad treatment of our armed forces.

 

b) Hone bayonet to ultra-sharpness of tip and hold in close proximity to the Manager's rectum. He should now see your point as well as feel it touching cloth!

 

Please keep us posted - if you click my scales (the grey blob between the green dot and the read triangle at bottom left) I'll follow this thread.

 

Good luck and fix bayonet.

 

Regards

 

Vandermerwe.

This will help with the cash shortage for now.

 

Contact your unit admin office, explain the situation to them they should be able to authorise and EPIC (early payment in cash) formely AR payment. This can be collected at a unit in your local area, this is obvioulsy subject to your unit agreeing to this and the other unit.

 

As you know yo will have to budget for the EPIC next month.

HI, just checked in, to see if anyone read my ranting and raving this am. In answer to questions - let's see if I can get hang of this quote thing:

:idea:

Did the bank close the old account without actually informing you? Can your payroll issue you with a cheque, possibly they will need confirmation from the bank that this is a dead account.

Thanks for your advice Rory 32. I shall have to leave the complaint procedure one in Mum's capable hands as I shall be away possibly til end of the year. I did get a letter, probably April time, saying they intended to close account, which is why I was so paranoid and went to the branch before joining my unit. As mentioned, on three different occasions and since I've got back, same branch told me there was no problem.

 

Is there a debt on this accoutn or has the account just been closed?

Hi Gizmo 111, yep, a tv licence direct debit bounced and they stuck charges on the account. Didn't have money to bring it back into black. All DDs cancelled at that time as I knew it would probably cause problems for me.

b) Hone bayonet to ultra-sharpness of tip and hold in close proximity to the Manager's rectum. He should now see your point as well as feel it touching cloth!

Vandermerwe, my mate, I could have quite happily done more than that yesterday, I can tell you! I'm seriously giving thought to your first idea though.

Livelylad, it's been another afternoon of phone calls!

Have to see if money is in holding account or been sent back tomorrow. Depends on this apparrently as to whether or not I can try your advice. Could have done with a few more days to get all sorted. I should be enjoying final day with my two small kids instead of running around like a blue a---- fly!!

 

Think I've answered everyones questions. Appreciate all the advice. I'll let you know tomorrow what is happening.

AN UPDATE FOR YOU ALL!!

Been on phone to customer services. No help whatsoever.:mad: Say I have to go into branch yet again to discuss closed account. Won't give any indication as to whether money has been received or sent back etc.

 

I can't get in touch with unit admin office at all, looks like everyone is still on leave.

Now not enough time to sort anything, as away early tomorrow. As you can imagine I'm absolutely hopping!!!

 

Thanks to you all for all advice given. Will keep in touch if I can get access to a computer while I'm away.
