    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the xx/xx/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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,

 

received letter from Hillesdenoffering me a 30% reduction on £1000.00 debt in March 2007.

 

Sent back a CCA Request and every month since (most recent 2nd Aug) I have received a letter stating that:

 

1. we are following up your request for a copy of the original agreement and statement of account with our client CITI/Associates. When this becomes available we will forward you a copy.

2. Your account is on hold and all further action has been suspended in anticipation of receiving the documents required.

 

update in 21 days if no developments beforehand.

 

ANY ADVICE, Cheers SHERLOCK

Yep that's in my library.

 

Can I suggest a different approach as they aren't asking for money.

Re: my request under s78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Thank you for your recent letter sent to me dated 21st June 2007, the contents of which are noted. However, the reply received by me does not fulfil your requirements under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

The Act demands that I be supplied with a true copy of any properly executed credit agreement that exists in relation to the above account. I may ask for this on demand providing that a fee of £1.00 is paid. This fee was sent with my original letter, dated 26th April 2007. Upon receipt of the original request the specified account legally entered into disputed status.

 

The time limits, which are laid down in the Consumer Credit (Prescribed Periods for Giving Information) Regulations 1983 are clear. You must supply an executed credit agreement within 12 working days of a proper CCA request. If you fail to comply with a legitimate request the account enters a default situation and if you fail to comply after a further 30 days you commit an offence. You entered into a default on 25th May 2007 and subsequently committed a criminal offence on 25th June 2007.

As you are aware while my Consumer Credit Act request remains in default enforcement action is NOT permitted, under s127 this constitutes a complete defence at law.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the original creditor for resolution of this default, as DCA NAME cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

If DCA NAME chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service, HM Treasury Financial Crime Branch and possible court action.

 

I hope that this will not be necessary and an acceptable solution can be accomplished.

 

Therefore you have 7 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

Yours faithfully

BLAH

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Was it from Tony Locke? Tell them you are contemplating legal action and may ask the court to order the Data Controller to produce the information requested forthwith.

"Why CCJ when you can CCA!"

yep, A E Locke, director AND data controller.

 

Two options, hes got it and produces it OR tells me he hasn't got it....shouldn't be too difficult for a director of a company :confused:

 

You could be struck off as a director for lesser crimes!

another letter signed personally by Mr. Locke...............account on hold in anticipation of receiving the documents required!!

 

Well at least he's consistent :rolleyes:

 

I have been paying a small amount on DMP to Hillesden, probably why they haven't requested payments. I know I am entitled to stop payments, but as it is only a small amount. I will continue payments but now I will step up reporting them as I need the statements to reclaim any unlawful charges on the alleged debt amount.

 

There is also the issue of default (if this applies). a NON-COMPLIANCE LETTER TO MR. LOCKE, A COMPLAINT TO TRADING STANDARDS,

 

And as for signing letters, how about a 'new' signature for the DCA letters, keeping a copy of new signature in case of ....ahem...They wouldn't ..WOULD THEY!! :eek:

O.K. wots the advice people?

 

They still send me regular letters stating they still haven't received the agreement from Citi......they don't ask for money coz they get a small payment within my DMP.

 

The account was an Associates credit card around 2000'ish, need to DPA them I suppose.

 

I know I could legally stop paying due to non-compliance but if I could get the debt written off would be better....:cool:

It's up to your ethics if you stop paying them, I certainly would. OR you could go to court like elizabeth1 did...have a read...

In any event what you must do is complain to everybody, FOS, TS, OFT and your MP, my MP has sent me a letter this morning about my own circumstances....(can't wait to see what it says !!!)

After regular monthly 'can't find agreement' letters, received today with £1.00 p.o. enclosed:

 

1) our client citifinancial/Associates is unable to provide a copy of the documents requested under the CCA 1974!!!!!

 

2) Consequently I can confirm that all enforcement prceedings on the account have stopped!!!!!

 

3) Although we are unable to enforce the agreement, the default will remain on your credit file. subsequently, should you clear your liability on the account wdate our entry to reflect the appropriate status!!!!!

 

4) if you continue to make repayments, this will be reflected in our monthly submissions to the Credit Reference Bureau !!!!! (they get a proportion, a few pounds, of monthly DMP)

 

5) Please find enclosed £1 p.o.

 

 

When A&L started proceedings, on a different debt, and later dropped the ccj file due to not having the appropriate papers :D & a big thanks to CAG, I took them off my DMP and though various DCA,s have tried since with no luck, I no longer consider this 'owed'.............their problem, not mine!

 

Any suggestions if I should do the same with this.....and how long does it stay on the credit file (is the process renewed if the debt is sold?). this Associate credit card is over 5 years old,

 

Many thanks, SHERLOCK

You can take them off your DMP and tell them to remove the default as they have no eveidence that the alleged account exists. If they do not, you will make a formal complaint to the ICO amd instigate court proceedings to have it removed and cliam damages against them as they are committing a serious breach of the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Don't be so impatient for answers. People will come along in due course.

For what it's worth....

 

I get the same letter every couple of months from a CCA request in Feb 2007!!

 

I simply contacted the CRAs and asked them to remove the entry as DLC (as they were calling themselves back then) had placed the default on my account without any proof that the alledged debt even existed.

I got letters back from the CRA saying they'd get in touch with DLC....who 21 days later hadn't gotten back to them so they all removed the entry immediately.

 

Worth a shot.

Sorry Pinky, the impatience quip was uncalled for and I consider myself duly 'wrist-slapped'.

 

OK, they're off my debt plan!

Waiting for credit file to check for default etc.

Upon receiving file will undertake complaints procedure (they did state they will carry on reporting to cra's)
