    • Post #9 suggested some options to avoid or put off having a smart meter. Post #12 a simple solution to your complaint about the ay they handle fixed monthly DD. It's not really clear why you posted if you're going get irate when members "jump in" with suggestions. You can see what I'm referring to on "gasracker.uk" to allay your suspicion that I was lying in Post #16 which was made to correct ther misinformation shown in your Post #15
    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.
    • You mean your witness statement 
    • That may be your personal claimed experience I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least   politeness ends with: - I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see, You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

    • 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.

They have to send that notice every six months in accordance with the Consumer Credit Act. If they fail to do so the debt would become unenforceable until they do. In addition, they wouldn't be able to charge interest whilst they are in default of doing so. All that said, I would follow Dx's advice and await the credit agreement. If they have it. Which I doubt.

 

And regardless of what they say, they should be sending you that info - as it's likely they are 'the creditor' as per Crutchely v Go Debt [2009] and paras 2.4 to 2.7 of the OFT Guidance.

 

In short, they're trying to lead you on.

Hi guys, I hope all is well.

 

Its been a while but

 

finally I have received something through the post.

 

Its a letter from Arrow global

 

'In response to a request for copy documents under section 78 of the consumer credit act 1974'.

 

They have enclosed a photocopy of the original agreement from Sallie Mae from 2007,

 

i think they may have got this from the university as Sallie Mae no longer operate in the country

and it looks like the agreement i signed in 2007.

 

It states that they are looking to outsource the account to one of their specialist third parties to manage on their behalf.

 

In bold it states 'Please note that this is not a formal acceptance of your offer and does not constitute any kind of agreement to an arranged plan.

 

Also it states that the third party will contact me in 'due' course.

 

There are three Debtline suggestions they have noted National Debtline, Payplan & Step Change Debt Charity as well as the Citizens Advice.

 

It then finishes with a correspondence address which is a PO Box number and 'Your Sincerely' Arrow Global (which someone has signed with a 'AG.

 

It has been a very long time since I last heard from them

and I am extremely worried about where I stand.

 

Many thanks for reading this and I hope you can help.

Even though I have had contact with them?

 

What do you think I should do next? Wait for the third party to contact me?

 

It has been nearly a year since they have contacted me. The only place I think they could have got the original agreement from is either the college or another debt recovery company.

 

I am back in full time education and not eating any money at the moment. Its only a one year course.

This is true, the only letter I have sent them is the CCA request.

 

I didn't hear anything for about three years due to Sallie Mae not operating in this country any more.

 

Should I wait for the 'Specialist' third party to make contact.

 

How would I go about investigating the statute barred?

Ahh ok no worries. How come they do not see this fact and admit defeat?

 

Well hopefully it is out of the timeframe and state barred. I did initially take out the loan in 2007.

 

As yet no claim form. They won't be ruthless and send the bailiffs round will they?

bailiffs? where did that come from?

 

 

DCA's &/or their fake/tame solicitors ARE NOT AND CAN NEVER BE..BAILIFFS.

they have NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS

 

 

they ONLY ever MIGHT get involved

 

 

IF someone files a claimform

IF they win

IF they get a CCJ

I think with all the scary debt culture and the programmes on television like 'Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away'

 

it looks like a very ruthless business and

 

I do get very scared about the whole situation.

 

Its not like I have lots of assets to take as I live a very simple life.

 

Does the time start from when I signed the original agreement which was in 2007?

again you are confusing things.

 

 

the bailiffs in that program

[well they aren't!! - they are operating under ONE persons High Court Certificate, and he lives in south Africa I think!]

 

 

would never be involved in a Civil debt like a loan/card etc. from the big banks to you

it business stuff they do.

 

 

SB clock starts at last payment or last deferment.

Ahhhh I see, it is definitely the way that they perceive it to be a very common occurrence

and one that can be actioned at the drop of a hat.

 

 

I most definitely my naivety as this is the one and only thing that I have ever had trouble with, it is very new to me.

 

Well this debt has not had any payment what so ever

and it has been passed on about three times to different debt companies.

 

 

Sallie Mae (the original study loan company) no longer operate in this country.

 

Would the last deferment date be the last time it was passed to a different company?

 

 

Is this why different companies buy the debt to keep is from being State Barred?

Link to post
Share on other sites

matters not what THEY do

 

its YOUR actions that determine the SB date.

 

typically on student loans you 'defer' repayment until you reach an income level

 

this is done via the deferment process and forms.

 

filing in one of those

or any document related to the loan that YOU SIGNED.

which effectively says in oneway or another

you ACKnowlege you owe the debt.

 

will reset the SB clock.

This is strange situation as it is a loan that was not taken out with the student loans company

but rather a specialist company who provided professional studies loans for Masters degrees.

 

 

The company (which I believe is American) stopped providing loans in this country and just left people with no clue what to do.

 

It was only after about three/four years of hearing nothing as also seeing that other people were in the same situation as me

that I then started receiving letters from a debt recover company in Scotland (Total Credit Financial Services.

It was passed onto another Drydens and then Arrow.

So it has been passed on a few times from pillar to post.

 

It is for this reason that I am unsure what the actual start date is and also if the debt after seven years is state barred with it being passed on?

IT IS STATUTE BARRED

passing on a debt DOES NOT have any effect.

 

forget about it SB is the end of your problems.

 

and in your very first post you mention deferment.

 

everyone is trying to spoof you

 

send the SB letter

 

ignore everyone

 

until/unless a claimform arrives

 

it would also help if you scan up what you have been sent too please

Hi all, where did you get to with this?

Are you now dealing with Capquest like me?

What would be the 'cause of action' in the case of these loans do you think?

Hello. I am the original poster for this thread. I really appreciate all of the help and advice that I received from this site.

 

As it stands I have not heard anything from the recovery agent after following the advice that I was given from here.

 

That was a few years ago now as now it is 2018 and still nothing. The debt is now 11 years old.

 

I recently looked my credit score with ClearScore and non of my Sallie Mae debts do not feature on it.

Greetings and salutations!

 

Great to be back, I didn't realise it had been so long.

 

After I had sent the various letters they sent me back some photocopies of the original agreement from Sallie Mae and (if my memory serves me correctly) they said they would temporarily suspend any action against me.

 

This was a few years ago now and I have not heard anything since!.

 

This is either one of two things, a calm before a storm or they have finally stopped.

 

In your experience which of the two do you think has happened?
