    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . 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.

12.Accordingly the Claimant claims:

i. The return of the amounts debited in respect of charges in the sum of £1892.00 as set out on the attached list of charges.

ii. Court costs (court fee of £120.00, Allocation Questionnaire fee of £100.00).

iii. interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from 21 Mar 2005 to 15 Sept 2006 of £XXX (8% interest figure)as set out on the attached list of charge,and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of 0.42p

I hope you don't mind me butting into your thread, chica. I'm at the same stage as you.

 

Michael - Where does the "...daily rate of 0.42p" come from? Why have you only suggested claiming the 8% interest up to 15th Sept 2006?

Daily rate is just your charges X 0.00022

ie £1892 x 0.00022= £0.42p

The dates are Chica's not mine. 15th Sept is presumably when she originally filed the claim.

Well I've handed in my witness statement and as of 12.00pm, Abbey hadn't filed theirs!!! I realise they have until 4.00pm but what are the chances of them submitting it before then!!!!

What happens next if they don't submitt??

Is there a template letter I could use to write to the Judge asking him to strike out the defence. I've still heard nothing from Abbey or the courts??

Thanks for that Karnevil, but its not needed anymore!!!!

I recieved a letter from Abbey yesterday.

It says:

In view of the amount that you are claiming and the legal costs that Abbey National plc (Abbey) would incur in arranging defence and representation at the Court, the decision has been made that, in this instance, your claim will be settled in full.

 

Payment will include bank charges and interest totalling £2000.25, continuing interest totalling £43.54 and court fees of £220. This gives a total settlement amount of £2263.79. Abbey is raising a cheque for this amount, which will be paid into your account (if open) or posted to you. Please would you confirm receipt of the funds by signing and returning the additional copy of this letter.

 

This payment of £2263.79 represents full and final settlement of your claim. It is on a 'without prejudice' basis and is entirely without any admission of legal liability by Abbey.

We have written to the court to inform them that the case is being settled in full and asking them to withdraw the Preliminary Hearing from the court list. Once payment has been made we would be grateful if you would inform the Court that you have withdrawn the claim.

 

Yours faithfully,

Abbey National plc

 

 

(I have to sign this statement)

I, XXXX, have recieved the sum of £2263.79 in full and final settlement of my Claim against Abbey National plc, 6QZ66186, and confirm that I will write to the court and withdraw the claim.

Dated and signed by ME!

 

 

 

SO TO CONCLUDE WE HAVE BEATEN THE B***ERS AGAIN!!!!

 

Can I request that it is sent by cheque even though my account is still open with them?

 

Thanks everyone for your help. Donation on its way when I get the cash!!

Just had a read through this whole thread as I'm thinking of starting the ball rolling to claim back my charges from the last 6 years.

 

Quality reading I must say. I've now just opened an account with Natwest so I can transfer everything over to that before I write to Abbey and they take my overdraft facility away!

 

Good stuff Chica
