    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

There is a thread somewhere that lists the reasons for reclaiming - I will see if I can find it. I read somewhere that 'front loading' it onto the loan and charging interest on it is an excellent starting point, and as you rightly say you were not asked if you had alternative cover.

BANK CHARGES

Nat West Bus Acct £1750 reclaim - WON

 

LTSB Bus Acct £1650 charges w/o against o/s balance - WON

 

Halifax Pers Acct £1650 charges taken from benefits - WON

 

Others

 

GE Money sec loan - £1900 in charges - settlement agreed

GE Money sec loan - ERC of £2.5K valid for 15 years - on standby

I'm just seeking advice on how to go about this because of the refusal to refund or even cancel the PPI.

Hello Hopeful,

 

can you look and amend, what you have posted up, your amendments aren't sufficient:o

 

They cannot refuse to cancel your ppi. god they make me so mad. Write to them tomorrow and tell them that you now want the ppi cancelled. Tell them to look at the information from the Financial Services Authority about cancelling ppi and fair refunds to custormers. If they won't budge, report them to the FSA immediately.

 

I feel the default notice should be in dispute, because it contains mis-sold ppi. but that can wait for another day.

 

The reason that you could not make the payments, is because they applied the ppi for their unjust enrichment, don't forget this:mad:

 

Do you have any letters from them stating that they will not cancel it????

I've been mooching around reading up on PPI. The bit below is from the Martin Lewis site. I know some people don't like him, but he does explain things very simply, which is good for the daft ones like me:

 

When you try to cancel your insurance without ending the loan, some lenders make you start a new agreement. They are allowed to do this as long as the new loan is on the same or better terms and does not detriment you in any way, for example it shouldn’t be more expensive or last longer. You should ask for this to be done without making a new search on your credit file.

The FSA says: "When consumers cancel the PPI without repaying the loan, some firms will need to reissue the loan without the PPI. Firms should ensure they treat their customers fairly in relation to the terms on which they reissue the loan."

I found this useful 'cause not cancelling the PPI is an issue for me at the moment with BS.

 

There may be someone else out there who finds it useful :D

Hey guys!

 

Not had any updates on my case yet, but could anyone with PPI knowledge / experience have a look at p.5 of the thread below, please?

 

The query relates to Paragon finance and mis-sold PPI. Fairbank, the poster, is quite desperate for advice, as Paragon are threatening him with further action:

Thank you in advance :)

The way i look at things now Tonycee is that all the yacky bits can only make us stronger. My focus is to get all this money stuff sorted the best i can for me and my little boy. Nothing else has ever made me feel as low as my financial situation did pre-CAG and i won't let it either.

 

So yes, i am ok. I've had a difficult decision to make and over the next month or so i need to find the courage to discuss it with the person concerned. Everything will work out for the best though. I am confident of that.

 

Thank you for your concern.

Well, this loan has now been passed to debt collectors :mad:

 

I have started a new thread in the debt and debt collectors forum as it is no longer just about PPI. I really am pi$$ed off now with this lot. I've posted the link to the annoying tale below:

Just to update, all has gone VERY quiet on this account since i sent the info off to FOS.

 

I'm sure things will change any day now, but in the meantime i am enjoying the peace and dealing with a few other situations.

 

I will be back :D

Wow!

 

:) Barclays have actually acknowledged 1 of the many complaints i've made. Today's letter refers to my complaint about agents putting calling cards through my door. They have said they realise they are not invited and will not make any further visits.

 

They still wish me to call re the loan acc. I shall of course write to thank them for their letter but to gently remind them i will resume payment when they cancel the PPI :mad::D !!

 

Little steps.....:)

A few small steps forward and 1 huge step back....

 

'They' have written to say they've investigated my complaint re PPI and it is unfounded. They are still telling me i need to reapply for the loan without PPI. Why can they not just do it automatically??

 

Anyway, i have spoken to FOS and they have told me Barclays should be liasing with them and that they've been told this, so i am to sit tight.

 

Ha!! In your face BC :p

Well, unfortunately FOS have agreed with Barclays. They have said they do not don't doubt my integrity but i cannot provide enough proof. Good old BC have all the correct docs. I need to put it down to my last financial mistake.

 

Anyway, as advised i have been into the branch to ask for the loan to be reissued without PPI. I hav epointed out i am now on a temporary contract. I also questioned whether i could claim on the policy after such a long time without making a payment. I said i would be happy to make an arrangement if they would sort out the PPI.

 

There was no log of the saga on the advisor's computer system. As BC have defaulted me on my current acc (cause of charges) he couldn't issue a reloan anyway as it is linked to the acc.

 

He asked a colleague for advice. She couldn't come up with an answer either.

 

They have sent a complaint off for me.

 

Here we go again :rolleyes: :grin:
