    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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've not been on this site for a while!. Does anyone have any experience with the PRA Group?

 

I have a balance of £1297.80 from an old overdraft with Halifax/Lloyds TSB.

The original default notice from the Halifax was 17/8/2011.

 

I have been paying the PRA Group £5 per month as a token payment.

PAR Group have now offered a measly 10% discount in full and final settlement.

 

I've recently come to an agreement with another DCA and that was nearly 50% discounted .

In the past I have offered to pay 30% of the debt to PRA Group but they have declined.

 

The debt has been passed from pillar to post so they probably have paid peanuts for it.

 

Just wondered if anyone can offer any suggestions as to how to tackle them?

Halifax: WON - Following complaint to FOS I have been offered a refund of all interest and charges since entering DMP!:D

Co-op: admitted no CCA! Account now passed onto Fredrickson International.

Fredrickson International: referred them back to the Co-op as no CCA available!!!

Ignore them and stop your £5 pm...your payments are simply stopping the Statute of Limitations on a debt that most probably consists of mainly penalty/interest charges...and not your actual overdraft.

Oh, I had no idea. So if I stop paying DCAs, they can't do anything?

 

Have I understood that correctly?

 

Other debts are relating to credit cards and I have been making token payments to them too!

(Capital One and Moorcroft).

 

The debts are all approximately 6 years old.

Depends on the DCA...we know which will and wont issue a court claim....at the moment your in no mans land paying on the drip to DCAs forever....and they may still issue a court claim even if you continue to pay....by stopping payment and waiting to see if they do issue a claim... will bring it to a halt...and even if they did and you lost...at least your payments from there on will be on a Legal footing.

@dx100uk - Yes, that's correct.

 

Moorcroft Debt Recovery = Egg credit card

 

PRA Group = Halifax overdraft

 

Capital One (credit card) = no DCA

 

Am I within my rights to withhold payments to all 3 (even though Capital One isn't a DCA)? If so, how would I respond when they ask what my reason is for the stopping payments?

 

Re the Egg debt - this was bought by Credit Solutions Ltd (I can't find a notice of assignment in my records), then passed to Moorcroft Debt Recovery (I can't find a notice of assignment for them either)!

 

In addition, they have never sent me any annual statements

well forge the PRA debt now that's dead..

 

CSL don't buy debts neither do Moorcroft.

 

so if Moorcroft state their client is EGG

 

then you've

cap1

and

Egg

to deal with directly.

 

as they are only £1/£5 respectively i'd be paying that direct to the OC

never a DCA.

 

as long as they will freeze charges and interest.
