    • no DCA is a bailiff end of neither do they have any legal powers whatsoever. i would write to everyone simply giving your current abroad address , inc proof of residency. that will stop all threats going to anywhere else.  
    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.

    • 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.

Just sent a CCA off to Lowell for an account they have been collecting on behalf of Barclaycard for an old student card I used to have. I have been with Lowell's for a couple of years, so I excluded the phrase saying "I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY" as I actually have been by making my payments.

 

My aim is to clean up my credit reports. This wasn't helped by Lowell duplicating information on, which they have now corrected, so I want to make sure they have their houses in order before I decide how to proceed with the removal of the default.

 

I know there are charges on the Barclaycard that can be reclaimed, so I want everything infront of me before I approach the default removal. If Lowell/Barclaycard cannot produce the requested information under the CCA then I will offer them a final settlement figure and request all information removed. I don't want to shirk out of paying the debt, but I'm not going to be strung along either.

 

If the CCA comes back fine, then I'll SAR Barcalycard and go the charges route. Ideally I'd like every aspect of the account removed from the CRA's, being a student and financially irresponsible has impacted me enough to want to get this sorted out as much as I can!

 

CCA sent today. I would imagine signed for on Monday, so Tuesday 11th of December they enter default. I am going to maintain my payments through this, they have been reasonable to me and I am not disputing the debt, so I don't feel it appropriate to do so.

I'd personally allow from today because they may only have a postroom open on a Saturday and it may not have landed on anyone's desk until today.

Letter received today:

 

We are in receipt of your request for a copy of your credit agreemeent in accordance with section 78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

We are also in receipt of the prescribed fee from you.

 

We are requesting a copy of the agreement from the original lender with whom you originally entered into the agreement.

While we endeavour to reply to you with the required information within the prescribed 12 day period under the Consumer Credit Act, you will appreciate this is dependant upon receipt of the information from the original creditor.

Well, I appreciate the 12 day period, I do not appreciate any delays.

Hi funhat,

You said this was for an old student card you had, was just wondering if you mean a student bank account or just a plain credit card you had when you were a student?

Just wondering cos Lowells are chasing me for an old barclays student account.

Hope all goes well in your battle with them,

Kez x

Well today is the end of the 12 + 30 days and the only thing I've heard from Lowell has been the letter confirming receipt of my CCA request. Not even a peep from them on the phone wondering where my usual payment is.

 

I don't know whether to be worried by this or not..

 

I can still access the electronic proof of delivery that quite nicely has the name and signature of the Lowell postie, so I'll be printing that off tonight and filing with the original letter.

 

What should my next step be, just sit tight and wait?

Sit tight and wait for their compliance.

Without the CCA NO ONE is taking enforcing action.

 

Excellent.

 

I'll let them get on with what they're doing and as long as it's not pestering me then that's fine by me.

Now IF they demand payment after the 12+month has expired then a report to Trading Standards would be in order as they are chasing an unsubstantiated debt.

 

That's what I understood to be the process, would it be my local or Leeds TS?

 

If, or when, they produce something they claim to be the CCA Agreement but it's just an application form or something equally as relevent, or they cannot locate the original0, would that be time to hit Barclaycard with an offer of settlement with all negative information and default removed with the CRA's?
