July the 4th - May 18th, don't think i'm quite there am i...

Hi, thankyou - this is exactly what i was looking for. They did deduct £150 from me for a charity walk i did (For the donations) which were already made on Just giving. They are sending me a cheque.

Hi all. On May the 18th i was sitting at my desk at work, thinking all was well, when my manager tapped me on the shoulder and said 'can i borrow you for a minute' We went downstairs and sat down, she said, to quote - 'i feel you have lost heart in our company and i am going to be letting you go today, we'll pay you 4 weeks notice'. Confused and shocked i just said that is a load of BS, went upstairs packed up and left. I had been there just short of a year, but my paid notice technically takes me over the year mark. I had no warnings, no indication that this was coming. Gross misconduct was not mentioned anywhere. Should i be receiving anything in writing from the company? I asked for a letter stating the date and reason for my 'dismissal' and received a half drunk voicemail from my ex manager asking me why i wanted it at 8:10pm Saturday night!! if anyone could let me know my rights and what i can do... unfair dismissal? Thank you in advance

South America, NZ, Aus, Asia, Russia, Europe then home takling about 2 years....

What if i just hand it back and leave the country, what are they likely to do then?!!

Well i just paid £454 to them... cannot be arsed with it. They said that the council had issued warrants..etc. However i did record the call and the guy taking the payments said Sh*t 4 times and F*ck twice...

Ok thanks. i phoned them because i wanted to pay, as they say i have warrants out against me? Sorry just don't know what to do.

Sorry to ask like this but i am really stuck! Please see this thread, and reply on either if at all possible, Thank you! http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/194678-jbw.html#post2107628

HI All UPDATE!!! I just phoned JBW to try and pay £120 off of my £454 Balance. They REFUSED to take the payment saying it was ALL or nothing!!! They said the case was warrants and they would just take the vehicle rather than take £120...!!! Can they refuse to take the payment??! i asked for the fact they would not take the payment in writing, this seems very strange! Help!

Ah sweet. So, get the repairs done and give it a damn good valet then!!

I don't understand, you VT'd a car and they took 18 months to come and get it?

Aaanybody?

Hi all sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum! I am looking to VT my car back to Welcome finance as i am coming upto 1/2 way (next payment) as i will be moving abroad at the end of the year. My only problem is - the drivers door and rear wing has a scratch on it (not too bad) on the other rear wing a dent about the size of a mini football which has been knocked out but still shows slightly and the passenger dorr is dented (could replace easily). And some scuffs here and there (not as bad as it sounds really. What i want to know is when i VT this car, how far will they go to scrutinise the car, will they ask for anything in particular? I know this is a much covered subject, but i can only find one thread about VT'ing a damaged car and it isn't much help. Thank you!!! John

Yes i will ask them for everthing in writing next time they call - I take it from the lack of responce that there is nothing i can really do about this?

Council unfortunately.

Anyone else???!

Hi Thanks for the reply - they never ask me any security questions! Am i within my rights to refuse to speak on the phone and demand everything in writing?

Hi All My name is John and I have been lurking on here for some time - and I have picked up some great advice, so firstly - THANK YOU! Here's my dilemma. 18 months back i used a car park for work, I used to get parking tickets, and pay them in full quite regularly. I accrued 5 tickets in one month - a PB for me! unfortunately i DID NOT pay these tickets (stupid, I know) at the same time as this i moved address and failed to change the address on my V5 logbook unknowingly (I’m not the best with cars and only thought to do it a couple of months ago) Anyway, the 5 tickets went unpaid and the debt got passed to JBW who contacted me at the start of March demanding just over £900 or my car would be taken. I borrowed £400 from my parents and said this was the best I could do. They accepted with an agreement to pay another £100 at the end of March (pay day). When payday came around I paid the £100 and told them about my bonus at work that I get at the end of April (this month) and that if I could, I would clear the remaining debt of £450. I know that ultimatley, I am in the wrong and I got myself into this mess. My gripe is this; Between making the first payment of £400 and the next payment of £100 I had SIX phone calls asking me to clear the owed amount, even though I had promised to pay on payday etc! Then since making the payment of £100, today I have had TWO calls, first one saying I had broken the arrangement and when was I going to pay second one saying exactly the same thing – I had to explain the situation twice AT WORK!!! I gave them my work number because I work 14 hour days mostly, and I fully intended to pay so thought this would not be a problem for me. All of these calls, have been rude, abrupt and verging on threatening – even though I have bent over backwards to afford to pay these people. The very 1st guy I spoke to was polite and very proffesional, understood my situation and made me want to co-operate. What I need to know is where do I stand – can I do anything i.e request any info / say anything to them to stall things make it hard for them – are there any companies out there that would take this case on for me? Help!!
