    • Hello, I hope you're all well, I just wanted some advise on my debt situation. So currently my debt is a total of £17,000, 7k to Amex and 10k to TSB as a loan, now I have never missed a payment and I have always been on time but I have had some personal circumstances that mean I need my money and I cannot afford to pay these loans off for the time being. I'd need around 4/5 months and then ill be able to start making the payment again, I've been reading on the forum and I have seen many options but I'd like to know what the best option for me is. I don't want and IVA or DMP and nor do I want to go bankrupt. I've read about defaulting and minimum payments etc, Say if I didn't pay anything for 4 months or maybe paid bare minimum then once the 4 months is over I make up for the payments? Sorry If I sound stupid but I am just trying to figure out the best option before doing something stupid and going for an option that is more feasible. Thanks
    • For NI it depends on how you pay. Pension Contributions come out via your gross pay as a deduction = You pay NI. Pension contributions come out via salary sacrifice = You don't pay NI. You wouldn't pay income tax on it either way.  
    • Hi Isn't the pension contributions tax exempt - so take Gross - pension = taxable income?? Obviously the Tax Codes and Thresholds will play a part in the calcs as well G
    • Yea the counter is open 10-4 apparently but in reality if you go to the court and go to secuirty just refuse to go away and ask them to call the civil team they will eventually and they'll take the payment  
    • Update My insurance declined the claim since lung cancer was a 'pre-existing' condition at the time of booking Will try and ask BA to reconsider, otherwise I will lose several hundred pounds Probate (or rather the equivalent here in Malta) is completed and took 2 weeks from receiving the official death certificate Have now sent off all the necessary closure forms to Pension, Insurance, UK Bank, etc. Just need to visit the embassy to have her passport cancelled G

    • 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,

 

New to this ,,,

 

 

just written a heartfelt letter to Scott & Co and could do with advice.

Not going to bore you just going to post the letter.

Any suggestion would be welcome

 

Scott & Co

9 Meville Crescent

Edinburgh EH3 7LZ

 

With reference to the above account

I regret to inform you that I am greatly disappointed to receive a letter that states that an arrest has been made of funds.

 

 

I am not sure why I have received this as the last correspondence from you was an invoice I had requested so I could know what my balance was.

 

 

Also you have advised me that the balance dated 23/05/2017 was £318.40 and now the balance seems to be increased to £390.80.

 

I have made a lot to payments to yourselves

through no fault of my own other than to get married.

 

 

Previously due to the pending divorce,

I had to pay arears of council tax and as I was struggling,

rather than agree a payment for a few months,

you sent a letter to my employer and thus as a financial adviser I felt pressurised to give in my notice.

 

 

I was unemployed for 11 months till I could get a junior role to build up to go back to being a Financial Adviser.

 

 

I live alone barely manage to pay my bills,

use a food bank

yet I have maintained payments to yourselves.

 

 

I called to advise you about my fines as I was not in the car and have also acknowledged that fact that I will pay as the car is registered to me.

 

Wish to take the opportunity to advise you that due to any error at your end with regards to an arrestment of my funds will result in my resignation as the offer I have been given to restart my career as an IFA will be withdrawn and the conditions I was employed under would not be valid not to add the embarrassment of having to explain myself to HR for a second time.

 

I just want to pay you off and finally start my career after almost 2 years.

Please could you advise me as a matter of urgency why this has happened and if the arrestment order has been sent.

 

 

I am happy to reinstate a direct debit but to pay towards to £318.40 and will not pay the additional £72.40. Please do not ruin my career again is my request to you.

 

I do not have a mobile as cannot afford one,

not allowed to make calls at the call centre I am working from 9 so have to leave at 7.22am and leave work and get home at 6.30pm onwards.

 

 

I cannot take time off work at such short notice but hope this letter gets to you in time.

 

I look forward to your response.

Hello and welcome Rkaur77,

 

I have started a new thread for you in the dealing with debt in Scotland forum.

 

I'm afraid Scott & Co will not care what you write in your letter, is this arrears of Council Tax or some other fine.

 

 

Regards,

 

Scott.

hows this going

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
