    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,

Don't know whether this is the right place or if anyone can help but here goes.

 

I am repaying an overdraft on a Halifax bank account and have agreed monthly repayments with their collections department and have just renewed for another six months.

I have not missed any payments.

 

 

I have looked at my credit file and noticed that my Halifax account has an AR marker on it but is also showing as being up to date.

 

 

I have checked and this means "arrangement to pay"

 

 

I also note that it could affect my credit, even though it is showing as up to date and no payments have been missed.

 

I have the same decreasing overdraft agreement with Co-Operative Bank and note that there is no AR marker with them.

 

 

The only difference is that Halifax have frozen interest and charges at zero,

the Co-Op overdraft is so small that interest is charged but over the eight months it will take to clear, it is negligible.

 

I don't know if Halifax are within their rights to do this,

can someone more knowledgeable please advise?

 

Also, the overdraft will not be cleared in six months

so I will have to contact them again and request an extension to the repayments.

 

If they say they will refer (sell) the debt to a collections agency,

what rights do I have,

I would prefer to deal with Halifax directly, can I request this?

 

Thanks

Hi Wilsp and Welcome to CAG

 

Im afraid creditors are allowed to assign a debt at any time or pass it on to a DCA to act on their behalf.

 

Regards

 

Andy

you could certainly complain about the AP markers

ideally they should not be used 'forever'

as they stay forever [can be seem upto 12yrs later as they never vanish

unlike a default which makes the whole account vanish on its 6th birthday.

 

there has been good successes with getting the creditor to register a post dated default on the third AP marker

 

type AP marker in the search CAG box of the red toolbar up top.

 

as for the certificate.

it wont make a monkies diff to you credit file

SOME brokers will give a better deal with one IF that is you ONLY negative part on your CRA file.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I had a look and the AP search showed up mainly people who had or should have a default marker placed on their file.

 

My file is showing as up to date with Hfx (green with AR)

my aim is to clear the overdraft in twelve months,

I have agreed an interest and charges freeze until June,

a month before then I need to call back and see what they say.

 

I have seen many threads that say DCA's have no powers and can be ignored,

my concern is that although I am still dealing with Halifax directly until June,

they may "sell" the overdraft to a DCA,

I would certainly prefer to keep dealing directly with Halifax until it is repaid.

 

I cannot understand why they have put an AR marker on my file and the Co-Op have not,

 

when I have sorted all this out I would like to look at getting a mortgage but if the AR marker stays on for six years then I may have difficulty, is that right??

  • 2 weeks later...

What annoys me is that even though I contacted them to make an arrangement to pay, I am treated as though I have defaulted.

 

Yes, I know I shouldn't have run up such a high overdraft,

but I want to get on top of things and ensure it doesn't happen again.

 

That there is no standard across the banking industry for repayments and getting out of financial difficulty needs addressing.
