    • Dx100uk according to the ICO office, who I spoke to at some length earlier today after getting the email from the court, Equita are the data controller if they have instructed the contracted EA. The ICO have noted the case, and stated very clearly that the court has the higher standing in terms of dealing with, and punishing either party if they fail to adhere to the district judges order and any action they take will not be criminal.    but they also stated very clearly that with what I’ve told them, and on the basis of accepting what I’ve told them as gospel (which it is with written confirmation from both the courts and the police) then there is some major red flags being raised on both sides with them blaming each other.    they’ve advised me to essentially keep my powder dry until there is a charging decision and an outcome from the seperate proceedings with the EAC2 complaint, and then come back to them with the case and they will be in a stronger position to act against Equita and the EA as there will be established facts and evidence that have already been laid before a court.

    • 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.

Morning all. Bit of background, took a £150 payday loan from Cash Genie in February 2011 and kept rolling it over after paying my £45 per month. What also happened to me is that the solicitors starting taking monies from my account also. Spoke with them on several occasions to not effect.

 

 

I finally managed to close in July 2012. Total loan was £150 and total I paid them back was £1267.80 to Cash Genie but another £980.60 was taken from my account by their sister form carter forbes.

 

 

I was in direr needs then and had several other PDL's so robbed peter to pay Paul.

 

 

I have finally sorted myself out and feel strong to challenge them. Would anyone have any suggestions as to how I do this?

 

 

I have all the paperwork from my bank dates , times etc..Thanks

Hi Bigmarti,

 

I am by no means an expert, however I have been in a similar position to you I.e Robbing peter to pay Paul. I would gather as much info as you can on ALL your previous lenders, collate in a spreadsheet, Gasp at how much interest you have paid out over the years. And then send out an email to all companies expressing dissatisfaction about how the irresponsibly lent you money or rolled over a loan so much that they took advantage of your generous nature... The key focus is these companies need to be viewed as being "fair". If you have evidence they may not have acted responsibly or fairly then the FOS would most definately look into your accounts.

 

One thing I would suggest doing though is contacting Cashgenie TODAY, they have been paying out left right and centre for these kind of things and you may find they have no money left by the time they receive your complaint.

 

Many people on this site will be able to help you with any letters, however I would refrain from getting angry/irate but give an honest letter/email, stating firstly, why you are complaining, how these loans affected you at the time, why rolled over, E.g couldn't afford to pay back due to loss of work, other payday loans, snowballing effect, affordability, should they have given you the loan. And finish up with what you would like to happen, and obviously last but not least ending with if they do not answer satisfactorily you will of course escalate the complaint to the FOS.

 

Regards

Jake..

 

Information is from complaining about irresponsible lending with Wonga and QQ, the former being satisfactorily settled and the latter I am still waiting for.

Hi Jake,

 

 

Thanks for you note, it was helpful in pushing me in writing to all the payday loans that I took out over the period of time, nothing ventured , nothing gained.

 

 

I will let all know how I get on.

 

 

Thanks BigMarti
