    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

Hello everyone, posted this in another thread, putting it in my own for you all to see.

 

Well, sometimes putting a search in Google can reap benefits.

 

I am, you would never guess, another poor Ruthbridge hassled person.

I have a debt from a credit card. Hubby and I are sorting out our other debts, this one just got lost, no paperwork anywhere for it. Everyone else is fine, things being paid off.

 

May this year, Dave Davis telpehoned about the debt. Straight away said bankrupcy. I laughed. We have nothing, live in a rented house, no car etc. I asked him what he would take. "That is for them to decide not me" He is a charmer. He has said, not recently, that people would visit the school my son goes to and tell people about it.

I have been in contact with a debt agency, they have been very helpful and I have sent out a few letters. Nothing happens.

Sent a £5 PO, they have cashed it, heard nothing.

Davis telpephoned yesterday, yes, still making me bankrupt. I told him all I know legally. He said it is rubbish (!!) and a doorsteping will take place.

I have written today saying I want no more bullying intimidating telephone calls, they will accept my off of £5 per month or all telephone correspondence and paperwork is going to rhe Office Of Fair Trading. I also put in"it is in your best intersts not to ignore this letter".

I am sure he telephones me as he cannot make premium rate calls at work. I am just as rude to him as he is to me.

 

I have been reading the templates for the CCA. Could I use this if I have sent payment? Is it of any good to me at all or only for statute barred debts.

 

Oh yes, the debt is £1088. BUT , as we rent-even though he did not believe this he had reduced it to £761. I do not know where this came from. I do not have this in writing, I did say in the letter he applied this.

 

Anyway, nice to know it is not just me, and yes, still feeling stressed, but hopefully I will start sleeping after reading these posts.

 

Sorry, one last thing. He asks for my husbands earnings, I have been advised I do not need to do this.

Firstly welcome to the CAG.....and yes the first thing to do is send the CCA (you can dispute a debt at any time)....(send it by recorded or guaranteed delivery with a £1 postal order - make sure you write at the top I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY and also write in the letter I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY PHONE CALLS FROM YOUR COMPANY - ALL CORRESPONDENCE WILL BE IN WRITING - ANY PHONE CALLS WILL BE TREATED AS HARRASSMENT AND TREATED AS SUCH

He said it is rubbish (!!) and a doorsteping will take place.They cannot send someone to your doorstep without making an appointment which you do not have to accept.. Should some maggot from Ruthless arrive unannounced at your door. TELL them to leave. If the refuse telephone 999 and report a breach of the peace. Also take registration number of vehicle said maggot was in. Doorsteppers from DCAs have NO LEGAL RIGHTS whatsoever and there is plenty of Case Law on here to back you up

Follow the advice I gave you re CCA on the other thread. There is also a telephone harrassment letter there as well.

 

You are among friends here now

good so far, and yes do NOT disclose any personal information, if they want it they gotta take you to court for it,

 

as you have in effect made a payment statute barred has now reset.

 

finaly yes send em the CCA make sure u put £1 postal order in and post by recorded delivery.

 

wait 2 days (for post) then count 12 WORKING days (mon-fri only) after these 14 days by law they cannot ask you for money without providing info under CCA. if not you then count 30 CALENDAR (mon-sun) days, if still not provided info under CCA they cannot take legal action against you.

 

they try all sorts of things. also put in letter you will NOT enter into any further communication by telephone ALL communication will be made by post ONLY, if you ignore this "reasonable" request it will be treated as harrassement and you will also be in breach of the Telecommunications Act 2003 S127 and the relevant athorities will be notified.

NO....do not hand sign it....some DCA's have been reputed to use this signature to forge documents....

Allegedley:rolleyes:

 

Apparently someone taught them how to cut and paste signature and concoct official ooking forms.

 

Always send a postal Order and sign your letters in BLOCK CAPITALS

Meh, no commission must really hurt him. Perhaps he has debts too. Perhaps he has sunk to his low by doing this job.

Ha ha youve got the picture. Bullyboys like Dave work on commision. The more they can bleed out of you the bigger their pay cheque at the end of the month. Due to the success of CAG Dave and his buddies must be feeling the pinch. Tough Sh!t. Maybe some of the DCA employees will soon find out what its like to be in debt

Any time you feel the slightest inkling of compassion just remember what they put you through.

as you have in effect made a payment statute barred has now reset.

 

 

Above not strictly true. If a payment has been made within 6 years (5 years for Scottish agreements) of the previous payment/acknowledgement then the clock is re-set. However, if payment was made more than 6 years since the previous payment/acknowledgement, the debt was already statute barred and cannot be unbarred.

Good point. The OP may have to SAR the OC to see when last payment was made. Still a CCA to Ruthless should give him/her time to get some help from CAG;)

No sign of them recieving the letter yet, which is a bit annoying. Perhaps they just read it here :)

If I get it back, I will know.

 

 

Then they know what they can do after that!!

Hi Oranges,

 

I was like you Ruthless called me 18 times a day so sent them a nice harassment letter and then it went down to 10 day for a few days then just used to walk off and leave the phone or put it next to my very loud bulldog snoring the calls stopped, I then sent a CCA letter in July still not received my CCA or a reply to my S.A.R

 

But i did get a nice letter from a certain person at ruthbridge telling me my case had been returned to cabot, hmmmmmmmm I'm sure reporting ruthbridge to the OFT & TS had nothing to do with that decision:rolleyes:
