    • Yes. They won't inform your employer but you may need to. You need to check what it says iin your employment contract. I don't think it usually causes huge problems for most people. HB
    • Good afternoon. I've read a few threads briefly regarding a dmp with stepchange and was 95% complete with setting one up when I noticed the advice of letting things default instead and/or managing a dmp yourself. My current situation is the following £470 owed to Jacamo. Has not defaulted. Currently on a £10 payment plan with them for 12 months. Not sure what to do here £2700 owed to Vanquis - Credit Card. Has not defaulted and I have not missed payments. I am unemployed and even making a £200 payment from my benefit means £80 odd gets eaten thanks to interest. Guessing I let this default and then set up a payment plan after? £2500 owed to Lowell who bought from Very and passed on to Overdales after I ignored them. Last payment to Lowell was 30th November 2022. Plan here was to fight them in small claims court if it ever gets that far, assuming the worst. Any advice is very much appreciated, thank you.
    • will they inform my employer and sack me?  
    • Ok, so they will look back a max of 1 year's record and ask me to tick which ones were used by me?  
    • Not prison, no. That has never happened here. I think they can look back a year on their system and you'll have something like TiredDodo did when they were summoned to court. With a year's use, I'll be amazed if you don't have a court appearance. HB

    • 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.

This will give other users an at-a-glance guide to other cases that have been won and may just give them that extra little bit of confidence needed to pursue MBNA themselves.

I didn't start a thread for this originally.

 

I got money back from MBNA.

 

Claim was for £70, but I settled for £30 after they replied to PA - it wasn't worth the time and effort to hold out for more.

 

I'm after Clydesdale, Halifax, and Morgan Stanley too.

Hi there!

 

I've just put my LBA into MBNA along with CI, did you have any problems along the way with them over the CI? Would love to know more!

:grin: Hi

I didn't start a thread originally 'cos this was only for £599.95 (I have a Barclays case about to go to court for £4900, which is much more juicy)

 

Started letters back & forth with MBNA back in Feb. They sent me a cheque for £210 as an offer, I didn't expect this cheque, it cane out of the blue, however, I wrote back a snotty letter and said I wanted the full amount or nothing else, I explained I would keep the cheque, and they could just send another cheque for the balance.

Had to wait a few weeks, but got a letter back today from Rachel Claridge, assistant vice president, stating that they will be sending me a cheque for the balance £389.95 in the next few days, and consider the matter closed.

To be honest MBNA have been the easiest to deal with out of my 3 case (Barclays, RBOS, & MBNA).

Anyway , good news !!

Keep on...

I felt no need to start a thread as found charges of £130 on statements, wrote to them asking for it back received a GOGW £100 after first letter.

Happy with this as I am spending all my time on two claims within my family against YB and LLoyds.

Another victorythumbsup.gif

 

And this one without even entering court proceedings.

 

In May I sent MBNA (Alliance & Leicester credit card) a claim for £390, which included £90 of interest. On the 28th June I receved a leter with the usual blah blah blah goodwill payment of £180. I wrote back and said I would accept this as part payment and if they did not refund full amount I would proceed with court action. I heard nothing and was going to enter MCOL this week. Today I got a letter offering me a further £288 goodwill payment which in total is £468, £90 more than I was claiming in the first place. Wont see any of it as I still owe them some omeny but at least it has reduced the debt and will reduce my interest charges.biggrin.gif

Congratulations Chrissie!

Knowing the nightmare that is MBNA admin, I also gave them a little extra time before starting MCOL and it works.My settlement was also a credit rather than real readies and I am on a zero interest payment arangement so it made a nice dent in the outstanding balance.

You were lucky to get a result before the OFT threw their hat into the ring - I've had an MCOL filed against Lloyds TSB since the end of March for approx four grand with a court date scheduled for next week ,and I have just been told that it's been stayed until the OFT result - very unfair and frustrating!

Hi!

 

After an intial payment of 499.00 was made to my OH's card about a month ago, the additional 1576.35 was credited at the end of August. The whole process started in May.

 

Unfortunately it's not play money as it has been paid back onto the card, which will be closed at the end of this month. More importantly though, it's 1 less stone around our necks :D

The claims process is not always a short, simple one, but there are many, many successes. I managed to reclaim for my hubby. It took time but not a penny left my pocket in the process!! :D

 

I'm glad you got your money in the end.

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.
