    • Morning,  I have recieved a reply from my request for information. They have replied with the credit agreements for my 118 loan and two Captial One cards.  They have said thay as Vodafone is a telecommunications account it is not regulated so the original creditor is not obliged to provide a copy of the agreement.  What are my next steps?  Thank you

    • Thanks all. Think I have come to a plan dx please correct me if I am getting you wrong but I am going to go down the route you suggest. simply stop payments for now until I receive a DN and it gets marked on my file. Then contact each lender and start making token payments to each one. i then assume most like they will then at some point sell to DCA. Once they are sold I’ll be coming back to see how best I deal with it.  Let me know if I am making some error in judgment or missing anything with my plan

    • 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 an old credit card with Clydesdale which I have more than paid off. The remaining amount is charges of £22.50 x lots plus interest and I have asked them to write off the account!! However in spite of all the information we have about their charging system they are still arguing that their charges are fair.

 

Obviously I have no intention of paying them, although I have to admit that their CCA is about the only one I have received which could be correct:evil:.

 

But how can they continue to bang on about their charges being fair? Do they think I am a mushroom?

Sorry to say but this is par for the course.

I'm having a similar fight with B'card where the outstanding balance is completely charges, yet they refuse to move.

So instead they are passing it around the "great and the good" of the DCA world.

Hey I must admit I don't mind as I get to see how these "people" operate.

I'm just waiting for them to file on me as I've always wanted to couterclaim for a higher amount ;)

 

Sick and twisted I know, but ....

No, it's the latest sport! A year ago we had everything to lose - now we are fighting tooth and nail and getting amazing results. The worm turns.

 

Clydesdale haven't managed to do the DCA bit yet - but I have had fun with B'card (cr*p CCA) - have met DLC, Hillesden and had a great time with Ruthbridge - waiting to see who we get next. Was back with DLC a couple of weeks ago and we get automated messages on the answerphone.

Well the OFT wouldn't agree that 22.50 is fair so I suggest you just start claiming back the charges as credit card claims shouldn't be affected by stays.

Or would it make more sense to wait and see if they do issue proceedings and then do a counterclaim? If I went after them they would probably only owe me about £50 so it seems like a lot of hassle. I have told them they aren't getting any more money from me...

The remaining amount is charges of £22.50 x lots plus interest and I have asked them to write off the account!!

 

Your first post implies it's more than 50.00. Is there some other reason for not paying off the account? IMO you risk a CCJ or default if you wait for them to take action.

Hi Caro, thanks for the reply. I didn't make it clear but the account balance is over £600 and when I calculated the charges over the years plus interest thereon they owe me about £620. I already have a default on it. I have written and explained the 'we are equal' situation to them. Additionally they were the only one of my creditors who refused to freeze interest when I got in difficulties and one of the few (interestingly small ones) who refused to accept my reduced offer via the CAB. I only ever spent about £300 on this card and have paid them back far more than that.

So you are owed more than 50.00 with the interest, assuming that's just interest on the charges. I would have thought it worth considering claiming back the charges and trying to get the default removed, depending on how much the default was for.

You are right Caro, however I am fighting an ongoing battle with several creditors and it is almost a full time job dealing with the correspondence, in addition to my more than full-time self-employment and having four kids. And of course spending endless hours on this site!! I suppose I could send them a LBA to show I am not going to take it lying down. Thanks for your input:)

I take your point Goldlady, but I think you have more chance of succeeding if you take the initiative, rather than wait to respond to Clydesdale when the time suits them.

 

You don't have to take on everyone at once though. I have some issues I need to deal with myself but other things seem to get in the way, so I know where you're coming from.lol

Update - as I have not paid them they have now instructed a specialised Debt Recovery Agency who will be contacting me shortly.... I am quaking in my boots:D. (would have been pre CAG days!). I wonder which of the wonderful agencies I will be hearing from. And guess what, they have charged me another £22.50 for sending me a two paragraph letter - suspect their typists are very well paid or they pay over the odds for their ink cartridges!!

 

Never got round to the LBA Caro, but might get down to it this weekend:p

About time too Goldlady, lol. Have you asked for the default to be removed too?

Oh, and now several months later I have had a letter from Capquest. They are telling me that this debt will not go away. Actually Capquest I think you could be wrong. I haven't had dealings with Capquest as yet but I am sure this will be entertaining. I haven't decided whether to reply to their letter or just ignore them. Seems they have been sold this alleged debt with a boatload of others.
