    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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

 

Had a letter from these guys today fairly standard re an outstanding debt except that it says

 

"As we can assist you with the repayment of this debt by a arranging a Regulated Credit Agreement with a minimal charge for setting up the agreement....."

 

Never heard of this before anyone got any ideas about them or advice as to the best way to proceed, I would be grateful.Thanks.

First NEVER talk to these "people" on the phone as they will try and get you to agree to anything.

 

Before you even think about making any sort of acknowledgement or payment to a DCA you MUST ensure that they have the LEGAL right to collect the debt.

This is achieved by requesting a copy of the Signed, Executed Credit Agreement via a Consumer Credit Act (CCA) request.

There is a template letter to be found here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html

Letter N.

Is it important to start the letter:

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY in Big Bold letters.

 

It is best to send this request via recorded/special delivery as there are some inportant deadlines to observe.

 

After 12 WORKING days the "debt" is in default and stays that way until the request is complied with.

If a FURTHER month passes then the DCA has committed a summary criminal offence and the matter should be referred to Trading Standards for action.

 

I hope this clarifies some things.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Hi Curly

 

Firstly the debt is for unpaid rent from a Housing Association long story that I would prefer not to go into so there would not have been any credit agreement to start with, so which letter do you think now please?

Hi all

 

I have posted on this before but am struggling a little bit with a company called TSC Credit Management in Rotherham,

they have recently contacted me by letter and now today they are calling my mobile every two hours re some outstanding rent arrears to a housing association.

 

Their letter says

" As we can assist you with the repayment of this debt by agreeing a Regulated Credit Agreement with a minimal charge for setting up the agreement,

it is important that you phone us immediately."

 

This concerns me dreadfully as I have never heard of this before and I am unsure as to which letter to send them,

I have no problem acknowledging the debt I admit that it is mine but I just feel like this charge thing will add to my problems.

 

As per some earlier suggestions I have not spoken to them on the phone and am quite happy to let the answer phone pick up their calls,

would be grateful if someone could give me some advice regarding this.

 

Thanks

Try this one on for size.

Edit as needed:

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

I am/we are familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I/we would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my/our liability for the debt in question.

 

All further communication must be in writing as telephone calls will be ignored and logged for further action.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully

I have drafted this letter as I do owe the money but have just swept it all under the carpet - I am willing to pay as I have now started to sort myself out financially, any suggestions would be welcomed

Dear Sir/Madame

I am writing to you reference your later dated 17/08/2007 re my outstanding monies owed to ...................., whilst I am prepared to take full responsibility for this debt and to pay it back at a reasonable level, I am concerned by your mention of a Regulated Credit Agreement and the fact that you wish to charge me for setting up an agreement. I have spoken to Debt Advice regarding this who have suggested that this may not be entirely helpful to my present situation as it does not sound like you are offering me a way of repaying the debt just increasing the amount that I owe.

I would be grateful if you could clarify this situation for me and I would like to inform you in writing that I do not wish to be contacted at any time by telephone and insist that all communication between us is in writing. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours truly,

This is a DCA that is chasing you, you MUST ensure that they have the legal right to collect this debt, otherwise someone else will be along to claim you owe it to them.

 

Edit - Thanks for the vote of confidence Vander.

What they are trying to do is get even more money out of you.

Say you owe £100, they would setup a "loan" at 10% APR so you'd end up paying £100 + interest.

As it stands they are unsure about enforceability, if it is at all, so they are trying to convert it into an enforceable agreement. This way if you default they can start court action against you.

So do I deal with them if they prove that they can collect or do I refuse, I am happy topay back the monies but it is over 2500 so would be even more money - am doing ok with money now so can afford to pay them back about 50 a month - is it worth me approaching the HA direct?

If they prove to YOUR satisfaction then yes, arrangement payment.

DON'T sign up to a credit agreement whatever they say as this will end up costing you more money.

If possible try and deal directly with the HA.
