    • 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.

I have wasted alot of tea and cake waiting for these type of "people" to arrive.

It is highly unlikely that anyone will turn up.

If they do simply tell them to leave and communicate in writing ONLY.

 

As and when the attached DCA writes to you update us and we'll help.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

I got a letter from them which was utter cock and they reckon they will charge £22.66 for it. Obviously, letter straight back to them telling them basically the second word is off and to Halifax who instructed them to also tell them the second word is off ...... just another episode in the mind games, which I am winning !!! yay !!!

When you write back to a letter which states they are charging you enclose a bill for secretarial/legal services and ask them for immediate payment.... should raise a few eyebrows their end. After all you too have overheads and costs involved.....

Power2contact are part of the Crucible Group - also includes Credit Solutions (in my view the biggest bunch of a***holes in the DCA industry - and of course they've got some serious competition :) ). Their motto is 'building stronger customer relations' - ha, ha, ha....

 

Certainly I'd ignore them, hedgehog.

I had a card fro them and i sent in a official complaint to them and the company that hired them as the card was free for anyone to read had my reference number on and was in breach of OFT rules.

 

Got a snotty letter back 8 weeks later and the DCA didn't know why they were contacted, think they are under the same roof as CSL.

I recieved one of these little yellow cards with an appointment with a Mr J White (how original)

 

power 2 Contact are indeed under the same roof as CSL and are probably a subsiduary of the same company.

 

They rang my wife yesterday and she compained that no one had turned up for the appointment their rep said we were lucky as it was the baliffs that were coming round. Odd that considering the debt has never reached court, they must think we were all born yesterday.

 

I don't think the card contravenes the Data Protection Act but I have enquired with the Information Commissioners Office just in case. I have also reported their behaviour the the OFT although I doubt any action will be taken.

 

I have sent them a snotty letter regarding their actions and will wait now to hear back from them. They breached their own guidelines set out on their website too Credit Solutions

you could do with recording the telephone calls when they are threaterning you with the baliffs. Would make a good claim for harasment.

Not sure I would have the equipment nor the knowledge how to record a telephone conversation, besides which isn't it illegal to do that without their permission?:confused:

When they answer they tell you they are recording the conversation for training purposes - tell them in return you are recording the conversation - it ISNT illegal to do that provided you state it at the beginning and not halfway through.

I have received a little yellow card today (Thursday) saying they will call on Wednesday, it doesn't say which Wednesday and it doesn't say whether it will be by phone or in person. Has anyone ever received a visit from these people?

No its just a fright tactic. Ignore it and write to them and tell them you will only deal by written correspondance.

My hubby has received one of the yellow cards. The 'visit' is due tomorrow between 9am-9pm:) . J. White must be very busy on a Wednesday driving up and down the motorways. No wonder he works long hours:) .

i received a yellow card today stating j.white would be visiting Wednesday - funny he hasn't shown up. have telephoned and apparently the have no record of me and there sister company must be dealing with it! Who is the sister company?

They never asked date of birth or address to confirm who i was! and putting a reference number on the front of card are you allowed to do that?

Does anybody know how much it actually costs to ring them?

their sister company are Credit Solutions Limited. I have already complained to them about the cards and they say they are legal as they show no personal data. they merely send it to see if your actually at that address. Best just bin it and ignore it

well in my eyes its harassment so i will be going to the police about it. i mean why would you just want to check that the person is still there. and in a way it is personal anybody could have rung that number pretending to be you.

oh, and also forgot if j.white has sat nav he will be looking in the wrong place for me, as the postcode is wrong!! and sister companies are usually based in a seperate place or office!!!
