    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Actionfraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank you

    • 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

 

I just received a call from a company called Accident Response advising me that there has been money set aside for me for a road accident I was involved in in April 2010.

 

As far as I was aware this had been dealt with by my car insurer Churchill.

The other driver accepted all blame and my car was repaired - end of.

 

They have stated that they have money set aside for me and my 4 kids who were also in the car. It all seems very strange.

 

This is the second time they have called me.

The first time was several weeks ago and they did say I would receive another call from a "specialist"!!

I gave out no details they seemed to know everything

 

I just wanted to know if anyone else had come across anything like this.

I dont want to get my hopes up of getting some much needed cash to find out its all some sick dodgy [problem]!!

 

Thanks

Leah

If you have not put in a personal injury claim, then someone from the Insurers has passed details on to gain a referral fee. If you followed this up, the person who made the referral would then no doubt obtain the referral fee.

 

I personally don't like this and it is just driving everyones premium up. To make the claim, you would have to go to the extent of seeing doctors about having a neck pain or other injury. Because there are kids involved, it can even more complicated, as if this ever ended up in court because the third parties Insurers disputed the claim, then you have the court trying to protect their interest. Someone I know had a genuine claim and their kids had to attend the court, with the judge asking them about their injuries. So unless there is a genuine claim that could be made, you should probably stay away from them. Why would you use a company that makes these cold calls, when you can use any 'no win no fee' company or your Insurers legal expenses cover.

We could do with some help from you.

Sounds like a fishing exercise. Cold call as many people as they can and hope for a bite.

 

If you were genuinely injured the Google a personal injury accident solicitor and use them instead.

This is fishing, did they refer to the particluar incident? or just state your recent accident?According to the phone calls I have, I'm owed millions for my ppi and injury claims I've had but seem to have forgotten about. I'm not sure how easy it is to obtian access to cue, if you can let's face it you could pull off list after list and cold call refering to recent incidents. ......hmmmm.

My mum received a similar phone call at my sister's house but I had answered the call and the woman on the other end of the line have me am awful lot of information about it.

 

Apparently the third party insurers passed on my mum's details as the claim was closed by them with no payout made to my mum for personal injury!! This is interesting as the matter of personal injury is being dealt with by a firm of solicitors and we are waiting on final settlement after seeing specialists etc.

 

As soon as I mentioned that, far from being closed, the case is still waiting settlement the woman said she would close their file on the matter and refer it back to the third party's insurers!!

  • 6 years later...

On consulting with my insurers, they told me that [problem] companies register with the CUE database as all they need in a companies house number.

Then, they use software to rip people's details from this directly to cold caller staff who then trawl down a never-ending list.

 

As far as I can see, the only way around this is for the government to legislate against these companies having access to CUE.

But, as very few people know this is happening, there isn't any pressure on legislators.
