    • 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 have been following this site for years and know you have given some great help and advice.

So here I am asking for help for my daughter.

 

Background is

she over the last 2 years she has earned around £1300 a month and in this time she has managed to get herself in a right mess.

 

She started with catalogues from

Fashion world,

Littlewoods,

very and

studio

who have all been increasing her limit until they reached around £1500 to £2000

 

then came along credit cards Barclaycard,

marbles and

capital one with about £500 limit on each

 

then a 118118 loan of around £5000

 

To be fair she was managing all these payments but then she started on Payday loans which have completely messed her up.

She has been trying to make payments but she hasn't got a penny to her name.

 

Since august she has moved into her own property so things are even tighter now plus her work place has messed up her sept and oct pay so she is still waiting for payment from them for £1200

 

She has also from Monday started a new job with a slight drop of pay she will now be bringing home around £1100 a month.

 

My daughter is very depressed and I am quite worried about her to be honest I am sick of seeing her cry over money.

No 21 year old should be going through this.

 

My question is

I want to help her and get some letters sent to her creditors offering token payments

(she has agreed a payment plan with some but at silly amounts she can't afford.)

 

Where do i need to start?

 

Her contract phone has been cut off so the phone calls have stopped but she is consistently getting emails and letters.

(letters come to my address as ive told her not to change the address yet)

 

Does the irresponsible lending work?

as I am gobsmacked on how easy she could get a payday loan in 3 minutes from lots of different companies.

well if her credit rating was ok [no defaults etc] and it showed she could meet the payments, then p'haps ORL is not the way to go.

 

using the prorate letter from our debt collection section of the library

send each one a copy.

see what they say.

if they will freeze int then agree and pay that creditor

if any refuse send the £1PCM letter and stick to it!

 

I would guess all of her credit is post 2007 so little point in a CCA request as debts are still owned by the original creditors?

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...

Thanks ive found the letter she needs to send

 

Some have gone to debt collectors does she write to the original creditor or the debt collector?

 

 

 

Also one of the debts is from company called safety net credit who had constant access to her bank account and would snatch money off her when it went in then re lend it her . I got her to have her wages paid into a different account. are these a legit company when she shown be the account it was hard to understand.

Yes she missed two payments on her contract and they cancelled the contract she even tried to pay the missed two payments but they wouldn't let her just passed it over. It was her second contract with tesco and had never missed a payment before.

Stop paying let them sell it on.

Ofcom have clearly stated charging a customer till end of unused contract (outstanding months) is unfair termination penalty.
