    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hi, I originally posted a thread in December 2007 relating to HFO Services. After a lot of advice I did what was recommended. After January 08 I did not hear anything from them ever again. Lo and behold today I received a Notice of Assignment of Debt from them stating that my account has been sold by Barclaycard to HFO Capital. The strange thing is that was what they said in December 2007. Three years on they have reared their ugly heads again stating "I request you to contact me as soon as possible so that we may work towards reaching an amicable solution on this outstanding issue of yours which is incurring interest charges because of non-payment"

 

Anyone have any advice please - I have searched hi and lo for my previous correspondence with them, but am unable to find it unfortunately. I am sure that I am going to be continually harrassed by them yet again

Have had a quick read back over the thread, I would not worry to much, they are just trying it on, otherwise they would have started proceedings a long time ago.

US President Barack Obama referred to Ugland House as the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax SCA* in the world.

Interesting case. Another mess between Barclaycard and HFO.

 

Do you still have the original NoA sent in 2007? It will be interesting to see if they claimed it was assigned to HFO Services at the time. Your scans are no longer accessible. It would be useful if you could repost the originals.

 

They appear to think they have not dealt with you regarding this account. Clearly they are mistaken.

 

They will be claiming that the debt is now owed to HFO Capital Ireland, rather than Cayman to whom it would have (possibly!) been originally assigned. HFO Capital Ireland bought out HFO Cayman in January 2008, but I guess you never received a notice of assignment telling you of the transfer? The fact that the two companies have the same name is irrelevant – they are completely unrelated legal entities.

 

A quick call to Barclaycard to ask to whom and exactly when the account was assigned would be useful. You may find they say Roxburghe. Please record the call if you can.

No just go with what you have - you can SAR HFO for the previous docs but prob not worth it. I have put the comment on another thread that they are now reviving old accounts - recent cases have proved this as they think that they can now get away with dodgy paperwork

Please support CAG and they will support you.

A week or so ago i received a letter from HFO and attached to that was a copy of my credit file. I received another letter from them stating that they would apply to the court for either a ccj or a charging order. I have not responded to any of these letters. Today I received a call from them at my place of work (not sure how they got the number as I most certainly wouldnt have supplied them with it). The woman on the other end of the phone said that I hadnt responded to her letters and needed to discuss this. I told her that i didnt appreciate a call at work and not to call me there again, she wanted a mobile number which I refused to give. She kept on at me and in the end I advised her that I will not deal with her over the phone and she told me it was illegal for me to ignore their letters. I put the phone down but a few minutes later she called back. I told her she was harrassing me at work and her reply was that if I did not give her a mobile number to contact then she will continue to do so. I took her number in the end to get rid of her but she said if I didnt not ring them then they will continue to call me at work.

 

Please can anyone advise me on what to do - Thanks in advance.

All i can say for now is

 

1) make a note of the date time and content of the call

 

2) wait for the 28th Feburary 2011 when the High Court judgment is out in our clients case.

 

The judgment is a corker and may well upset HFO in a big way, as telephone harassment is a no no

 

Interesting.
