    • 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.

I have a number of accounts that I am paying back on an agreed debtmanagement plan, one being a credit card with HSBC.

 

The dilema I am in is that all the other companies have changed the status of my account on experian to Special Instruction Indicator: Arrangement and I have been paying them upto date for over a year now. All this is showing a green symbol.

 

In trying to rebuild my credit rating and finances etc HSBC Credit Card have not changed this, yet they accept my payment of £x.xx per month and have frozen the interest (although it it with MCS) This still shows as a red symbol

 

Is there anyway I can get them to alter this to relfect I am on an agreement and that I have kept up with monthly payment?

 

The arguement they came back with before was that they wanted more than triple what I offered to and am currently paying and therefore did not accept the agreement?? Yet they have settled for a reduced amount and have done so for some time

 

Any thoughts please?

The first step has to be asking again.

It sounds as if it's sometime since you have been paying regularly, so they might say yes.

Send a copy of your file showing all the other companies status - it might shame them into following suit.

 

If they say no, you've lost nothing more and to be honest I think you'd be struggling to challenge them by any more formal means.

 

 

Credit reference files are notoriously difficult to challenge.

Following advice from a forum member to another post I sent a CCA request to HSBC in December 2009.

I first got a letter back saying they were dealing with it.

22days after my original request I got a package delivered with loads of information.

 

The covering letter,

which I dont have a copy to hand,

starts by saying they dont have to provide a signed copy of my document or original terms and conditions under current law

but they attached updated copies of the CCA and random information all stamped and signed, poorly, on each page.

My original agreement was from 1996.

 

The letter goes on to say that the CCA is still enforceable even without a copy of the signature.

 

What would be my best move next?

I am trying to prove my current CCA is not viable and therefore stop them trying to take me to court every month even though I am on a debt management plan

  • 7 years later...

I have today received a letter from HSBC saying that my credit card account debt has been sold to Cabot as of July 2017 and I should arrange to continue to pay them not HSBC and HSBC will not correspond with me anymore.

 

This relates to a credit card that defaulted in 2011 and I have been paying them back an agreed sum of money each month and always maintained payments.

 

Having had run ins before with other collection companies I wonder if anyone could help with my concerns?

 

- My payment agreement is with HSBC and now Cabot now seem to want way more than I can physically afford and say that I need to complete a financial assessment to make a new plan otherwise they will take action

- The sums of money Cabot seem to reference seems excessive compared to what I think I owe. Can I somehow check what the values are and if they include any fees etc

- In buying the debt how does this affect my credit file. HSBC has not been showing on my CRF since January 2017?

- Should have I been notified of the sale of my account beforehand?

 

The last time I had to deal with Marlin it really made me ill from worry and I do not want to go through this again

Yep. Sadly youve been fleeced for many years. The debt is wholly unenforceable. I can pretty much guarantee that, and youve been spoofed into paying when you didnt have to pay a single penny.

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..
