    • 3 threads merged for complete history of your debts. i suggest you re read from post 1 again. what are you doing still blindly paying a DCA on a historic debt?  
    • Hi, I have an old outstanding debt from 1994 due to MBNA for £20,000. The debt has been passed to various DCAs and is currently with PRA Group.  I sent them a CCA letter in January 2024. They acknowledged this letter and stated they would come back when they had more information, however the information did not arrive within the 12 working day scenario.. I have just received a copy of the agreement which goes back to 1994 from them. In their response letter they have stated " Please find enclosed documentation received to date: we are waiting further documents in order to complete your request. We have currently deemed this debt as unenforceable which means we are not able to take court or further action against you to recover the outstanding balance". They then go on to state "we are still legally entitled to:  1.Contact you to ask and repay what you owe 2.Pass your details onto a third party collection agency 3. Continue to report your account with the credit reference bureaux (as appropriate)". I'm at a loss as to what I should do next and would appreciate any guidance on this matter. I am currently paying £5.00 pcm. TIA

    • 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.

Hello everyone and thank you for this site...

 

I've just had a visit from Brighthouse who my husband had an account with. Unbeknown to me he is a few weeks behind and basically our relationship broke up this weekend. He left taking everything with him (including his purchase from brighthouse) and at the moment I have no idea where he is. I did tell them this. They wanted to enter my house which i refused as i had company (my mum who knows nothing about my problems) but offered to let then look through my window at my ancient TV in the window, as the one my OH had was a flat screen, and then they tried to accost my 13 year old son on the street, questioning him about where his dad was. They demanded to know were I worked and also where he worked. Unfortunately my other half had a nervous breakdown and his employment finished 4 weeks ago which is why he ended up in arrears. My son knew no different and told him where I worked (started this week) and where his dad was working. Within 5 minutes they had turned up at my new job and also at my ex's work (unfortunately both are staffed 24 hours and i dread the reaction when i get there tomorrow after being there 2 days)

 

My arguement is...it's not my damned name on the account? Why should i be accountable for this? When i argued this his answer was "Thats not my problem...your the only contact I have for him"

 

BTW...all this was discussed in front of my 13 year old son and his friend who were sat on the garden wall. And it's not even my account !!!!

 

We've been with them that long that his other references have long since moved on so me being the only contact could be true.

 

The short of it is....whats my options here? Can i stop them calling in the evening and questioning my son and his friend??

 

I would love for my OH to come back if he is feeling ready and we will face this together, but can i request they put all details in writing and stop harassing me???

 

 

Kind regards

 

Rain

You need to report this to your local TS immediately as this is a blatant breach of the DPA and the OFT guidelines on debt collection.

 

I would also contact their head office to report the matter and the ICO to complain about the breach of the DPA.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

Yes!

 

And if any of their monkeys turn up at your house again, call the police, they have no right to harrass you or your son the way they did. DO NOT let them in your home, they could be anyone! You don't even have to open the door to them, they are literally just trespassing.

Just to add to the previous posts, this is an utterly disgraceful scenario.

 

You do not have to let them in, and you do not have to even talk to them if they turn up, the debt collection guidance is quite clear about debt collection visits.

Just to put into context, they have no more rights than your paperboy does.

 

If they refuse to leave when asked as previously stated, call the police. Me being me i'ld do it in front of them on my mobile...

They had no rite in questioning a 13 year old child. I am glad u did not knock him out ova this as i would have been very tempted. Tell them if they call again to Foxtrot Oscarand shut the door. If they refuse to leave or attept to force entry then call the police. I suggest that u just wait and see what is happening about this as they will more than likely call again. If they send any letters just rite on the front in big letter

Hi, I would think in your situation the last thing you need is these creeps giving you hassle. I have been in a similar situation many years ago now - thankfully ex OH is now OK, but I made the horrible decision of forcing him to go before he pulled me down with him.

 

I would suggest if you have an address for them you send them the following, but obviously adapted to say that you are not responsible for the purchase, and do not have the goods.

 

Please note that I am only prepared to communicate with you in writing. Should it be your intention to arrange a "doorstep call", please remember that there is only an implied license under English Common Law for certain people to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.).

 

Please therefore take note that, I revoke license under English Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so without my permission, you will then be liable to damages for a tort of trespass. You would also be conspiring in a trespass if you sent someone to visit me nevertheless.

 

My thoughts are with you:)

On the laptop tonight, couldn't find it!!!

 

I'ld print that off in a bigger font with the heading "Trespass and Harassment Warning". Give it to the goon next time he calls and as soon as he's finished reading it start dialling the police and see how quickly he leaves...

 

Best of luck, Dave.

PMSL - my kids dropped my phone on a riverbank while trying to video bats - we thought it had gone in the water but we rang it and OH found it although he got lots of nettle stings getting it back. Video was still running and we now have recording of me and OH yelling at the kids for losing the phone!
