    • a chargeback via a paypal account used in an ebay sale doesn't usually result in funds being sucked from your bank account,  just that you attain a paypal negative balance. as you saying the money was taken by paypal from your bank account without you authorising this? or is it directly the buyers name that is shown? regarding the chargeback but either way you bank account HAS been debited? dx  
    • 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 Action fraud 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'm trying to help my partner,

who's been living with me but has ignored debts of approx £10k for a minimum of 6 years

which accumulated before my partner arrived in my life.

 

My partner with encouragement has tried general counselling but it wasn't long enough time spent to get to the root of the problem.

 

Is reluctant to seek further help.

 

With a MH condition I'm wondering if it might be possible though to get MIND to help....

 

Doesn't want to file for bankrupcy though.

 

Been out of work, then my carer so can't afford to pay loans back.

 

Is there a risk at my home of bailiffs?

 

Are there any other options I can steer my partner towards?

 

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

In order for bailiffs to visit your home the creditor would of been to court and got a CCJ

even if they got a CCJ there is no right of entry no force for a high court enforcement officer to a residential address

You do not need to open door to them

 

If your partner has gone 6 years with no payment on the accounts they may be statue barred

 

If there was going to be any court and CCJ I expect they would of done it years ago

 

Check the credit file noodle is free

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

Thanks for your replies, I'll check his Noddle credit file. (Having a look at the moment... it wants to identify him by his bank card and wants numbers is this normal?)

 

No I'm not getting any letters, phew!

 

I'm so glad to hear there is no right of entry to a residential address. I had contemplated I could get stress at my front door. Big phew!

 

There has definitely not been any payments made.

 

This 'statute barred' looks very interesting.

Ahh okay thanks. It looks like a clear Noddle report at current address but need to check on a previous address which seems to take a further month to obtain on this account. Then hopefully we will know if there were any court actions.

No there's no linked addresses, we've had a look through all the different sections. We've had to edit his current profile address on Noddle to an old one where he had the loan so that when it does a monthly update it will show anything outstanding at his previous address.

How much do they charge for checking CCJ's?

I believe it's around £4.00 per address, But the system is accurate and up to date.

I've searched Trust online in the Orders & Judgements section and I'm pleased to find there is nothing registered.

 

But what if a CCJ was registered prior to these 6 years? I guess I can't check anywhere prior to 6 years can I?

 

I found this article through Googling 'statute barred'.

 

http://www.debtwatchdog.com/statute-barred-debt-england-and-wales-Article-215.html

 

So have I got this right?

 

If a CCJ has been registered before (but not currently on the list) this means statue barred does't apply, so the loan company could pester him in the future.

 

But if a CCJ has never been registered before statue barred does apply, the loan company could still pester him in the future but would only be successful if he was to admit he owed them in the first place.

if anyone does not enforce a CCJ in the 'allowed' 6yrs

then it extremely rare for enforcement to be granted outside of 6yrs

 

I think you are worrying about nothing.

I think you can safely ignore any threat of court action now, there has been plenty of time for any action to be taken.

*Shocked.......* Wow!

 

I can't understand why they wouldn't have registered a CCJ.

 

But I guess if my partner didn't respond to any letters and no payments were made

and then my partner moved to a different address they gave up trying to find him.

 

Wow thanks for helping me put things into perspective. *Relief*

the CCJ will always be registered

 

however it over 6yrs so drops off CRA file.

I've got the dates muddled up.

It was Sept 2008 my partner was made redundant due to the company closing the branch. This was when my partner was unable to make payments. So if a CCJ was registered it would have been just in the period after redundancy, so it would still show on the list waiting to come off. So then a CCJ might not have been taken out against my partner? :???:

Possibly yes. Did you check previous addresses (if any)?

Yep I checked his address where he was living at the time and nothing was registered. (It just sounded like too much of a miracle ending, I couldn't believe there would be any law on the side of the people in this day and age.) Thanks so much for putting my nightmare problem into a new perspective. Much, much appreciation.
