    • Yes, but the process starts here... https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/what-to-expect/ This involves making a complaint to GS first before approaching ICO. However, at the time of the complaint, I beleive we'd advise the complainant to ask for some compensation and take it from there. @FTMDave?? No, I meant this forum, The Consumer Action Group, where you're posting right now.😄 (We're in the slow process of rebranding as The National Consumer Service.)
    • And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court. 
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021.   npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279.   The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills.   I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this.   EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.    I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.

    • 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 took out a loan with these people and have ran into arrears.

 

I have emailed them offering a payment plan of £100 for the next 3 months as I have recently been off sick and am working part time instead of full for the next 3 months.

 

Below is their reply.

 

Please could someone help me with how to reply,

whilst I can see if I can get work to issue some sort of letter i'm not happy with disclosing my medical information to them:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

As a result of broken arrangements and the level of arrears

third party debt recovery agents were instructed to recover the vehicle which has incurred further costs to the account.

 

In order for us to review your repayment offer we require that you send the relevant medical evidence and documentation from your employer confirming the short/long term change in your circumstances.

 

It is imperative that we receive the above in order to review your request.

 

We would also advise that you make your offer of payment however your account is currently not on hold until both parties can agree a mutually acceptable solution moving forward.

I will post the documents later. They have not taken the vehicle yet nor has anybody been to my house. Here is an update on some emails from yesterday:

 

Me:

Whilst I am happy to send you details from my employer I am not sending any of my private medical records.

 

Please could you provide me with details of the recovery company and when this action is set to take place. Please could you also give me a email address for Mr Paul Hilburn.

 

At the moment I can only afford £100 a month until i'm back to full time - January.

 

Them:

Paul Hilburn is not currently in the office however the account was reviewed by one of the directors and other management also cc’d in on this email.

 

Further to your email management have reviewed your account with great concern and a decision has been made to accept as a minimum £300.00 recovery costs. This is an amount already paid by CCP as a result of instruction. Once this has been paid we will be happy to then accept your repayment plan proposal of £100.00 per month and cancel the instruction.

 

Please note that whilst we are waiting for you to make this payment standard recovery process will be followed. The recovery agents have left calling cards at your property with their contact details.

 

Me:

I would still like Paul's contact details. I would like a statement of my account emailed to me.

 

Please could you advise of the High Court Stamp Reference number. Nobody has a left a calling card, please could you email their information to me as requested by the end of today

 

Them:

If you forward any queries to Paul Hilburn at our info they would be forwarded to him upon his return to the office.

 

Please also see a statement of your account, bill of sale (last page) and contract attached as requested. I will also need to check the details of the third party debt recovery agency and respond to you in due course.

 

I really don't know where to go from here.

 

Not sure this is relevant but my first name is spelt incorrect on the bill of sale, making it a different name.

 

 'don't appreciate any help so I can draft an email to send today as I want to try and resolve this tomorrow.

 

I do find it strange they have told me a company has been instructed to recover the vehicle but couldn't tell me the company name. They also have stated they have left a card at my address but this is a lie, nobody has been to my address.

 

I've offered to pay £100 tomorrow when I get paid but they want £300 which I simply cannot afford.

Yes that is what they were saying.

 

 

My payment falls on the last day of the month,

the recent payment I missed was at the end of September,

yet from the statement of my account a £300 charge,

which they say they have paid to a 3rd party,

was added to my account on the 12th Oct.

 

 

It's my understanding they are supposed to issue a default notice and 1t days has to pass before this can happen? The 12th wouldn't of allowed that time.

 

Nobody has been to my home I still have the car and car cash point are still 'looking' for the name of the company who are acting on their behalf to come and take the car.

There probably never was a company thatwcomes to take the car. They were hoping youd roll over and pay. As for "however your account is currently not on hold until both parties can agree a mutually acceptable solution moving forward", hope they have good luck with that. Theyre gonna need it haha

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

No it doesn't. Considering the charge was added on the 12th Oct, it's now the 30th and nobody has been to my house I really don't believe they have even instructed anybody. I just don't know where to go from here.

  • 2 weeks later...

Here's the most recent update on this, still no further forward:

 

Me:

 

As advised all I can afford is £100. I can't afford to pay £300 at the moment.

 

I have advised I can provide proof through my employer I am on a phased return at the moment and therefore a part time wage, however this is temporary.

 

With regards to the £300 I notice this has been added to my account on the 12th October however it is my understanding this action can only be completed once a default notice has been issued and 14 days have passed, 14 days hadn't passed since the default notice by the 12th October, please could you advise on this.

 

Also please could I have the information requested as to who is dealing with the collection of the car. I'm also very surprised this charge was added on the 12th however nobody has been to my property as of yet?

 

I am trying to give you what I can afford however you are trying to make me pay what I don't have, I don't find this to be helpful for yourselves or me. Promising to pay what I can't afford will only mean more missed payments.

 

I feel that the emails from yourself within the last week have been confusing. First saying you would consider my £100 offer if I provided documentation and then later advising you would accept it if I paid £300.

 

Once again I make the offer to pay £100 on the 31st October, 30th November and 31st December then forward from that date onwards £175 per month until the debt is cleared. This is reasonable and within my means. Please let me know by 1pm if this has been accepted or not and also the information requested above.

 

If you decide to go ahead with the recovery I will be applying to the court for a time order this afternoon.

 

I would stress the importance of everything I have said and ask that a manager / owner of the company looks at this email.

 

I look forward to your reply and resolving this matter in a reasonable manner.

 

Them:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Please be advised that the default that CCP are acting on was served on 29th June 2016.

We have attempted to work with you since this was issued to address the instalment arrears.

 

 

A payment plan was agreed with you in August 2016 which was unfortunately not maintained and you did not respond to our attempts at contact.

 

Third party debt recovery agents were then instructed on 12th October 2016.

This was as a result of the instalment arrears and the fact that only two payments had been received on the loan since its inception in May, this is still the case.

 

Please also note that we are not prepared to discuss the third party agents used.

 

The repossession fee is a fee that we have already paid to agents and that you are liable for as a result of the instruction.

 

 

You were made aware of this when the loan was taken out by acknowledging and signing a copy of a tariff of our fees and charges. I have also attached a copy of this for your information.

 

Car Cash Point remains committed to assisting you however by not providing the supporting documents to confirm your circumstances makes it difficult to do so.

 

Our position remains the same in terms of the amount required to cancel the instruction that being £300.00

 

 

but having spoken to the managing director as a gesture of goodwill we are happy to place the instruction on hold for a further period of two weeks, to 15th November 2016, to make this payment and formally agree a mutually acceptable repayment plan to clear the remaining instalment arrears and costs outstanding on the account.

 

This confirms that Car Cash Point unfortunately have no choice but to reject your repayment plan proposal of £100.00 per month at this stage.

 

 

A repayment plan needs to ensure that the account is managed responsibly and the arrears do not become unsustainable.

 

 

Please note that your weekly instalment is £21.06 (monthly equivalent £91.26) and your instalment arrears are £371.32 plus costs are £588.00.

 

I'might not sure where to go from here.

Today was the deadline and unfortunately a money tree hasn't grown in my garden since I emailed them.

first read this especially 4.8.4 and 4.8.5

 

https://www.ccta.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Bills-of-Sale-Code-of-Practice-consumer.pdf

 

I notice despite advice above you are still emailing

 

You need to make a Formal Complaint in writing on what you have learnt from the advised link

 

\You can indeed go down the time order route

 

I would suggest for the moment as a precaution you look to keep the car in a secure locked garage

I put in a written complaint as advised, I also put one in with the ombudsman. I received this email yesterday:

 

I write to confirm receipt of your complaint. This has been passed to Paul Hilburn our director.

 

Paul attempted to call you this afternoon and left a message.

 

Please can you call him back as a matter of urgency in order to discuss a resolution

 

Should I call them, or ask them to email me so I have everything in writing?

 

Thex car is at a friends house for now.

Having also opened a complaint with the FOS, they have advised me to communicate in written letter only.
