    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much 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.

I have recently received a letter claiming to offer me a manager special to which they will pay 15% of what ever i pay towards the account, Says i have untill 21st Sept to accept this, Then 2 days later another letter arrives to say they are planning leagal action and if it goes to court they will be granted a warrant of execution and send a baliff? Can they send a baliff for an Overdraft? The overdraft is correct but its the £200 charges they have added on thats annoying me, Can i claim this £200 back and then agree a payment plan for the overdraft as im not denying that amount only the charges that have been added?

While these "offers" sound good they won't stick to them.

Now the ONLY way they can get a Bailiff is after court action has been taken and that assumes you have not defended and had a judgement against you.

 

Right first get a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) into the bank and start the reclaim process.

Then send a letter to CapQuest saying the account is in dispute.

Try something like this.

 

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Your ref:

 

 

Thank you for your letter of DATE, the contents of which are noted.

I am disputing the total value of these debts with BANK due to unlawful and unreasonable charges. As such Therefore I consider this account to be in dispute and no further action shall be taken until this matter is resolved.

As per OFT guidelines Section 2.8k "not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt."

This process may take some time, due to the Office of Fair Trading's test case, but I will try to expedite this issue as a matter of urgency.

 

I hope that you will enter into a sincere dialogue with me about this matter and I am writing this letter to you on the assumption that you would prefer to do this than merely respond with standard letters and leaflets.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

 

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

As regards court action you are stressing needlessly at the moment.

IF they start action then you will have time enough to enter a defence and come to a payment arrangement.

What ever you do DON'T ignore any court paperwork as they will then be able to get a default judgement.

DCA's are always threatening court action, but mostly it's just that, a threat.

 

The fact you have a DoA from HSBC doesn't change anything.

Get your SAR into them and start on the reclaim process.

No paperwork from the courts yet, Just the threatening letters from the DCA. Will send off the SAR to the bank on Monday then send the other letter to the DCA to advise the account is in dispute. That should hold them for a while.

You have already mentioned the OFT's test case and told them the score, so they are just phishing.

File this one under IGNORE ;)

 

Thanks CurlyBen, It has been filed under Ignore.

###HELP###

I have received a letter yesterday advising the following:

 

In the matter of CapQuest Investments Ltd -V- Mr Yellow 160

Debt Purchased From: Halifax Plc

Balance £ Just over 1K

 

Despite our numerous attempts to assist you to find am amicable solution to settle this account, the balance remains unpaid.

 

Our investigations into your current financial position are now complete and it is unfortunate that we find ourselves preparing a statutory demand under section 268(1) (a) of the insolvancy act 1986.

 

It is out intention to issue the statutory demand (form 6.1) on or around 24 Apr 08 where it will be personally served upon you.

 

Now i know this can lead to a Bankruptcy petition!

 

Any advice on what i can do next? Obviously i dont want to be made bankrupt. I need to fire something there way over the weekend or Monday at the latest!

 

Cheers

It could just be a threat to scare you but if your worried about your parents being involved contact them and arrange a time to be served, will probably be a bit of a shock for them :D
