    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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.

Nice people at Mackenzie Hall sent a letter with a reference number only requesting me to contact them to discuss.

 

No mention of what it related to so I did indeed contact them....with a CCA request quoting the reference number given.

 

Delivered and signed for but curiosity was killing me as I really didnt have an idea what this related to so against all the advice normally given, I rang them.

 

Since I knew what to expect, I wasnt unduly worried.

 

Quoted reference number and went through security questions (very nice and polite at this stage) and then...tone of voice changed.."its regarding a long overdue debt to Carblays Bank, you owe zillions of pounds, how are you going to pay it"

 

" I have sent you a letter regarding the reference number you sent me" says I, not acknowledging anything nor elaborating.

 

Voice on phone then sounds a bit more confused as I give her the delivery proof and she asks if I can give her my phone number so she can ring me back.

 

Of course, I am really going to do that...NOT.

 

I politely tell her that I will only communicate in writing from that moment on.

 

" Oh, OK...I will write to you"

 

Several days pass and letter arrives stating that they do not have the account number (oh yeah, how would they be able to tell me what it was about on the phone then) and they have returned my letter, together with the postal order and say they look forward to dealing with any future communications from me.

 

Soooo....have they or havnt they got an agreement or do they really want me to get back with them quoting an account number I don't know.

 

I wonder if I did have a number and replied, would they take that as a written acknowledgement and if so, is it a new twist and change in tactics.

 

I am not worried. :)

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Oooh Look....Flying Pigs

Well if they are looking forward to any future communications from you, perhaps you should oblige.......

 

They have written to you asking you to call them at your expense with no

indication of the reason for you to call. Stressful and psychologically harrassing. Then it transpires [could it have been because of the CCA request]they don't have an account number for you thereby breaching

Schedule 4 of the Data Protection Act "Records shall be accurate".

They then compound their error by returning your CCA request when in fact

they should have passed it on to the original creditor, thus breaching S.175

of the Consumer Credit Act Where under this Act a person is deemed to have received a notice or payment as agent of the creditor or owner under a regulated agreement, he shall be deemed to be under a contractual duty to the creditor or owner to transmit the notice, or remit the payment, to him forthwith.

Tell them their actions have been reported to Trading Standards as you believe they are unfit to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

 

I mean they did seem to invite you to reply didn't they? :D They may be a bit more hesitant in future to fire off one of their cunningly worded invitations to

ring.

You may also wish to make a complaint to MH as well and then if they don't get lost you can get the FOS involved too.

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Do you owe the money? That is the IMPORTANT issue.

 

If you owe it, pay it.

Not quite. The poster hasn't actually said whether he owes it or not. they just keep talking about a copy contracr.

 

DO YOU OWE THE MONEY?

 

How, exactly, is the OP supposed to know when they haven't complied with the OFT Debt Collection Guideline by making it clear what matter the debt relates to?

"How, exactly, is the OP supposed to know when they haven't complied with the OFT Debt Collection Guideline by making it clear what matter the debt relates to?"They might KNOW they owe it and STILL HAVE a copy of the agreement in their drawer for example.

 

What agreement? MK Hill, like normal, has not given her:

 

A) the account number

or B)The original creditor or

© any evidence that they were hired by the creditor to collect any debt.

 

So, again, i ask you how the OP is supposed to know whether he or she owes any money? and, if he or she does, that Mk hill are entitled to collect it.

I thought you had gone away ThisVeryMoment.

 

I dont like the tone of your capital letters.

 

Until you have a useful contribution to make other than to adopt your DCA emplyoyee mode then please go away.

 

Read carefully again and see what I am asking.

 

1/ They gave me a reference number but no details.

2/ When asked they said it referenced an account xxxxxxx

3/ I informed them I had contacted them in writing re the reference number.

4/ They replied saying they had no account details, could I contact them again with them.

 

Doesnt it strike you as strange, their behaviour, trying to collect on an account for which they have no details.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Well, you might actually REMEMBER owing the bank some money? You might remember taking out the loan? You might KNOW they you have been avoiding the debt.Not every debtor has the attention span of a gnat. Some are acutely aware of each and every debt. Not all of them fail to recall massive loans taken out a few years ago!

Do you owe this bank any money?

Without a contract nothing is owed. That's not debt avoidance, it's basic common sense otherwise we'd all be bound to pay any amount of money to anyone who claimed that we owed it. That's not for the troll, that's for anyone else reading this thread who might be considering the troll's viewpoint.

Read the first post. .."its regarding a long overdue debt to Carblays Bank, you owe zillions of pounds, how are you going to pay it".

 

Er, "Carblays Bank" apparently...

 

As for, "Without a contract nothing is owed", that is a typically inaccuate comment. Please read the C.C. Act or consult someone who knows what they are talking about.

it goes beyond that, Fuzz. Even if there is a legitimate debt, it is vital to establish someone claiming they are hired to collect it has some legitimate agreement with the creditor.

 

otherwise, pay me £50. You owe your bank some money. I'm collecting it.

OK, Lets get something straight, I owe money to lots of creditors and in this instance with the creditor mentioned by Mk Hall, I owe 2 amounts which are being dealt with by another DCA and the amount they claim in this instance is a little higher but not quite the same as one of those already being dealt with.

 

Are they trying to double collect?..I dont know and until they produce an agreement, I wont know either as all they said was it was an outstanding amount of x pounds owing to Carblays..(ps..I made that up in case you are'nt bright enough to havfe worked it out)

 

I am certainly not going to start sending lists of account numbers asking which one is it so until such time as they tell me definitively by producing any agreement that might relate to this supposed debt.....I OWE NOTHING.

 

There, did you understand that last bit, it seems to be in language you understand better.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

ThisVeryMoment. I believe you owe me £200. I'll send the boys round later to collect it shall I? Unless of course you'd like to give me your credit card details now. Failure to do so may lead to this amount going up by an unspecified amount and/or court action.

 

And I'm sure you'll pay it now as any questioning of my right to collect would just be debt avoidance and you would not want to do that now, would you?

No one is denying your right to comment on any thread you want. Where the

problem lies is the comparatively brusque way in which you say it.

Most of us at some time on the forum have had opposite views to others, but

have managed to agree to disagree without being so abrasive.

 

I notice from your own thread that initially you were quite slow to confront

your own creditors. Why not give others that benefit too? Especially as the

particular DCA is pretty notorious on this forum and I understand there has

been mention that some of the regulatory authorities are looking at MH

quite closely.

In addition, as the DCA appears to be in breach of both THe CCA and the DPA, it would scarcely be a company that even if Belaflat was aware of a

amount outstanding that they would want to deal with.

 

At the moment, the important issue is not whether Belaflat owes anything or not,but whether MH is legally entitled to collect the debt and if the amount claimed is the correct amount.

As it appears they have returned the debt it would seem they have washed their hands of the debt. If that is the case, why should Belaflat volunteer any

information to them?

Should the original creditor make contact then it can be taken from there

with CCA and SAR requests made prior to making any payments. Exactly the

way that you said you did on your thread.. Why are you forcing Belaflat to

pay a debt [assuming there is one] before ensuring that the amount being

demanded is accurate?

I've just served N1 papers on my neighbour for £2000 that they owed somenone else, and I've just bought the debt.(

 

See how easy it could be if you didn't verify the right to collect?

 

Plus I've been chased twice for a paid off debt. Would you pay twice for everything just because someone says you do?
