    • Yes, Hotpoint UK has been a subsidiary of Whirlpool for over 20 years. And unlike some domestic goods manufacturers you can buy from them direct and I believe they employ their own service engineers, Is that your situation? You bought direct from Hotpoint and Hotpoint sent out their own engineer?
    • It's Hotpoint (but I believe they're part of the Whirlpool group now?). The part was bought direct from them as a consumer.
    • Thanks BankFodder for your latest, I'm in complete agreement on the subject of mediation and will be choosing to decline mediation, the longer timeline is not an issue for me, I will happily let the going to court run it's course. I really appreciate the support from the Consumer Action Group. I'll post the email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response. Regards, J    email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response:  
    • Sec127 (3) repealed, now gone. S. 127(3)-(5) repealed (6.4.2007) by Consumer Credit Act 2006 (c. 14), ss. {15}, 70, 71(2), {Sch. 4} (with Sch. 3 para. 11); S.I. 2007/123, art. 3(2), Sch. 2
    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs

    • 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

My other half took out a loan with toothfairy for £400 which escalated to £2500.

 

Now over the last month or so black water & DMR have been sending txts trying get her to make contact.

 

Now they have sent a txt saying pay £80 & they will close the account and if she doesn't face possible legal action or they will sell the debt on.

 

Now I think they are just dangling a carrot hoping she will bite and make contact.

 

Any thoughts on this one or could they be being genuine.

 

Thanks

Bigboj

Hi

That does sound odd. While we know they paid a pittance for Toothfairy's loan book (7.5%+) it may be that they are not getting what they hoped for.

 

Asking for 20% of the debt is a possible good thing as the debtor gets clear and they make a profit.

 

Before even thinking about it, you want this in writing, not by text.

 

I am wondering if they will try and prey on a debtors ignorance. In a Full & Final settlement, if the debtor does not ensure the creditor does not sell on any remaining amount, they may just do that.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

They did not pay a pitance!!! They are most likely the same people behind toothfairy who just moved around because their scapegoats like larholt coul not be used anymore. We have strong suspicions that they could be related to Tanja and Per Gullestrup but we need to prove it

Until we get equivocal proof of these statements, I cannot see this. There may be 'guiding hands' but they will be from a distance away. For this particular thread, we have to assume that some money changed hands so that the settlement figure means something.

 

I can only go on what I read in the media.

There are two issues here: who they are and what they offered Craig. Their offer looks good and he should take it if he can get it in writing, it doesn't matter who owns dhr and wlp for the settlement. Who they are is of interest to me because I just can't let evil get away with it. If you can only go by what you read in the media, then good luck because you'll often be misguided. I go by what I know and if I don't know and truly care, I'll find!

Fair enough! Rather than post on a different thread, why not start a thread with all your evidence so far. It would be useful to keep it all in one place rather than spread around the forum.

As Silverfox says we have to believe what the administrators of the company says and is reported in the media.

 

The info I read was that the loan book is several million but only about 10& of that is classed as recoverable. For that a figure of about £25K was quoted. It strikes me that much less thatn 7.5% was paid in which case a settlement figure of 20% is probably quite reasonable, a nice little earner.

 

As for all the other allegations , I have yet to see a shred of evidence and without evidence Mr Gullstrup could i think sue for defamation although he may think it not worth his while

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

sorry, i meant that if they are connected to webloans, the 25000 they paid means nothing. To be honest it does sound like a ridiculously small amount anyway and is another argument in my mind to find out who dhr is. we could have all joined up and paid this amount and cancelled our loans cheaply!!! 25000 just doesn't sound right

This could well be true. I have had dealing with these. I personal used this company. I had trouble paying back. I original borrowed £400 and which did escalate to £1028. I paid about 100. And had trouble with rest. I missed a few agreed payment. Then I contacted NDR. (Now black water but still use the NDR website so really it's just a different name) they told me if I paid 320 the account would be close and balance cleared and they give me 28 days to do this. And sent me email to confirm. Also said if I failed to pay it then would revert back to original balance. Now to unforeseen problems I failed to pay this and as they said to reverted back to original balance. I contacted them again. After contacting them they told me someone would call me. They did within the hour and after talking to her was put on hold and when she came back. She told me if I could pay 107 within 28 day again account would be closed. I was sent email again with new agreement on. I paid it and account is now closed. That was 2 months ago.

 

If you go on the NDR website and the the pay now section. Sign in with your email and contact number with the '0' missed reached with '44'. You will see what you owe and this will also show you what you owe after an agreed payment put into place. U can pay her too (I did).

 

On another point if you go on the tooth fairy website and just click apply now it won't let you. I think and does make sense. Tooth fairy as been closed down and that why the debt collectors are offering these lesser settlement. In Order for they to get at least some money.

You should NEVER phone these people. Ever. They will say and do ANYTHING to get money from you. You should also only ever pay via standing order or a defunct bank account. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CURRENT BANK DETAILS.

Well in this case it's sorted. The company as closed down. After reading about it on here I looked on Internet. And the citizen advice website. They have had there licence taken from them. U need to pay debt. It's an agreement. Regardless who it is with. So there for it is safe to pay. I have had no come back. And like I said it's been 2 month.

Richard

I suspect your time scales are a bit wrong.

You say you paid 2 months ago and that was after not being able to pay the agreed amount within 28 days.

 

That sadly goes back to almost the exact date webloan processing went into Administration.

 

In my opinion it is not safe to pay by debit card or even god forbid credit card.

The safe way is either via faster payments or maybe even a cheque (for those of us that still have cheque books)

 

I have to say I seriously suspect your motives

 

I would also add that for some people even a 50% discount is beyond their means in a lump sum

 

Please remember that this shower paid an estimated 25K for recoverable assets of around about 750K although a director of the company suggested recoverable assets were twice that.

 

The fact the loan book was worth 10.8 million with less than 10% of that deemed recoverable does make me wonder how much of it was made up of charges and has there been any accounting fraud (just a question NOT an accusation)

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Richard, I agree with fletch70. Your timing doesn't make sense. I don't know who you are but you're new. I also suspect your motives. You are encouraging us to deal with dhr on no basis and no written agreement and give them our account details. That's mad mate.

I think If you want to be rid of this matter, accept the F&F offer on the following conditions, which must be agreed in writing not text or e-mail.

 

 

1. The settlement is made on condition that the remaining balance is not to be sold or assigned to any 3rd party for collection.

2. All adverse data is removed from CRA files immediately.

3. These conditions must me confirmed in writing prior to payment being made.

4. Payment is made as a " gesture of good will and without admission of any liability".

 

 

Send the letter by signed for post and check delivery.

I have no issue whatsoever with someone paying off a debt with a full and final settlement if that is what someone wants. The suggestion that the Brig makes is a good idea , there are also full and final templates in the cag library.

 

Richard

There really is no need for that sort of language, I gave my reasons as to why I suspected what you said, it was the timing. I also said that IMO it is a very bad idea to pay by debit card, there are too many examples of the system being abused by creditors.

Sadly your post is the sort of thing that a troll employed by the creditor would place (not necessarily with the creditors knowledge) hence me being skeptical. The site team obviously accept you are genuine therefore I will not pass further comment

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Yeah don't. What u say makes sense. I was just giving my experience. And anyway once it's paid as agreed and you don't feel your bank details are safe. It's simple get a new card. But I don't appricate you or anyone else suggesting I have motives. It's rude and perfetic.

Sadly that does NOT work with PDL's as they utilise a mechanic known as a CPA.

 

And people really need to stop the back and forth trying to get the last word in. It doesnt add anything to the thread at all and just serves to derail it. It's much better simply to ignore the poster.

Agree with that! Recently a few guys just pop up like this richardc123, brand new, never posted before, and suggest stupid things in favor of dhr. We have to be very minfdful that the dhr people or jordan taylor and Tanja Gullestrup have access to this forum just like us.

If dhr makes a good offer, it should be taken but make sure the conditions are right.
