    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Good afternoon... I have an issue with PayPal .

 

I have been frauded online and I've been left with a 7000 pounds negative balance I can't pay..

 

story is as follows.

.. I met someone on a website called people per hour.. who wanted someone to help them sell items on eBay whilst I'll earn commission...

I did this for 2 items and sold them to 2 buyers who then paid me via PayPal..

I then stupidly paid the money into my bank account and transferred it to the actual seller who then decided to go missing and not send the product to the buyer... Leaving me in the lurch..

the 2 buyers were luckily refunded but now PayPal are asking for thier money back..

. And have threatened collection agencies..

 

. I've informed the police and both eBay and PayPal but to no avail... What do I do here??

 

It was a genuine mistake by me and iv been defrauded...

I'm not paying PayPal one penny...

I even have emails to prove my innocence as the original actual seller has contacted me loads via email..

. Will the collections people just send me letters or will they actually turn up???

Will it just go away or is my credit score in jeopardy??

Help.... I am law abiding military man who feels awful I got involved in this stupid [problem]...

Ignore them. Close down the account and ignore any emails or phoen calls you get from them.

 

Paypals security systems are absolutely laughable and they wont go near a court or any legal route with it, as they wont want their entire system investigated.

 

Why are you worried about collections? They have no power to do a single thing at all. They might say they will, but thats all it is. It's scare tactics.

 

Read the other threads on here regarding paypal. It will make you breathe easier

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..

bear in mind you have participated in fraud and money laundering so paypal wont be able to chase you for the money but you may have to explain yourself to someone as to why you took part in this adventure. It is a lot of money so the problem wont just disappear completely.

 

We get this with students in particular who are looking for an easy way to earn a few quid without laying out anything upfront.

I hope anyone reading this stops and thinks about the simple adages of life, nothing is for nothing for example.

 

Having said that being naive isnt a criminal offence so do co-operate wityh any proper authority but keep away from paypal or their agents, they used to hire Intrim Justicia at one point (very swanky debt collectors) so expect loads of electronic hassle

Besides, if you're on a base (inside the wire) they'd never get past the gatehouse without someone shooting them repeatedly :lol:

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

Quick update.

 

I have left it a while after sending PayPal countless emails they have eventually replied stating that I have to pay regardless as it was a 3rd party

I obviously am contesting this and said I financially cannot afford to pay this amount back..

they have offered me a payment plan however even a small monthly payment would hit me hard financially and I still feel that I am right in not paying...

 

They said if i don't the letters will start coming to my house reference collection.. what should I do now?? Any advice please???

Exactly as dx100uk has said. You do nothing except allow them to waste their money writing you nasty letters. Because that's all that they will do.

 

Buy a hamster, PayPal and/or their tame "Desperate Collection Agency" will send you regular 'bedding' for it :lol:

Paypal have failed to follow the EU regs on money laundering so they are in the mire anyway. Dont pay for their errors.

Learn from this and understand whay went wrong and why.

 

Ebay has the power to look into the whole transaction and set the police on whoever is behind this but they wont, they dont want it publicised that their systems are leakier than a sieve.

 

IF you do get letters you read them very carefully and note what they say they are GOING to do and ignore what they MAY do or intend to do or recommend someone else does or whatever.

 

Blcok their emails, block their texts and so on.
