    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.  
    • Currently - "the maximum daily price at 100p / kWh for electricity and 30p / kWh for gas – keep in mind that's a lot higher than the Ofgem Energy Price Cap, so if you can't afford prices to increase further, you're probably better off sticking with a protected tariff such as Flexible Octopus."

    • 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,

 

Yes it shows a Lowell ref number and their bank details to make payments to on the back of the letter.

I will send it by BACs each month.

 

Should I email them to say this is how I will be doing it.

 

Can they say it isn't enough?

 

I can send them incomings and outgoings as proof.

 

Or do I just send a BACs when the next £10 is due in Feb and see if they contact me again?

 

 

Thanks for your help.

you do not contact them at all

and you never ever send DCA's per financial details

only a judge can demand that.

 

you really should be reading around

so you know how things work with these fleecers

Hi,

 

 

Thank you DX for your help. I have been doing a lot of reading but easily confused by it all and I just need to double check - apologies for that.

 

 

If I send them £10 a month via BACs will that stop them going for a CCJ or is that a how long is a piece of string question. I have 4 other creditors I am paying £10 a month to and my guess is this is what the rest of them will do even though they agreed to 6 or 12 months payments.

 

 

I get anxious over it all and I just want to pay them their £10 a month each and be done with it. What I don't want is the DCA adding more charges :-(

Hi,

 

 

I am taking your advice and I am going to pay £10 with the ref number each month via online bank.

 

 

I expect this to happen with NEXT as they offered 6 months at £10 a month and the 3 Very debts - Very - Very ( Isme ) and Very ( woolworths ) accepted 12 months @ £10 a month each I now suspect this was to allow any BNPL 12 months to be added with full interest before selling on.

 

 

I have a full incomings and outgoings that shows £50 available each month to be able to pay these 5 debts. I'm a little worried they will say £10 a month isn't enough as this will take 9 years and more for the very ones to pay off at this rate - unless ( hoping ) my circumstance change in that time so I can pay off more.

 

 

I just need to know if they can try and make me pay more and then if I don't because I'm unable too - that they will then add charges for letters sent out to me or add charges on to the debt.

 

 

Will they go forward and take this to court for a CCJ even though the papers I will submit to court will still prove I only have £10 per month for each debt?

 

 

I am just worried - apologies for rambling on.

original creditors don't do court

they can add charges, but you've told them to stop those and all interest.

if they've not, then send the second letter and drop them to £1pcm.

 

dca's if the debt is sold, cant add anything

Thank you very much.

 

That's that sorted I will pay £10 a month as I already do but now to Lowells and whoever else my come along when the other debts are sold on.

 

Glad to see Lowell's or any DCA can't add anymore charges on to what I already owe. So now it's just a case of carrying on as before and to stop stressing :-)

 

Your help/advice is really appreciated.

 

Thank you very much. x

What other ''debts'' do you have?

 

Have you reclaimed all of the fees/charges levied on these accounts, if you're able too?

Hi,

 

 

I wrote to the 5 catalogue creditors before I missed any payments to tell them what had happened when my then partner left.

 

All agreed to accept £10 a month for when the next payment was due.

 

All of them froze the accounts so no charges/interest would be added.

 

I will however have BNPL interest on the Very accounts that will be added.

 

My other debts are 2 bank loans but I am paying them as normal and they will be paid off in just under 4 years.

Very well done excellent that you informed all of your creditors and they have, for once, assisted!

 

The bank will do the same if these payments re your loans are a bit of a struggle...
