    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • 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.

Dear Forum,

 

This is the first time I am writing regarding some issues. Please can some one be kind enough to guide me towards the right direction. Any suggestion reply will be really appreciated.

 

Background

 

Around 5 years ago I went overdrawn with bank X. After few letters and negotiations it was agreed that I will be making them monthly payment to reduce the debt. I have so far paid each and every monthly installment. Everything was fine till I received a text from a debt agency which requested me to call them back. Subsequently I called them and they advised me in a very rude and shocking manner that my bank has sold them the debt as I have not been up to date with the payments. More than anything I was confused, scared and upset as the agent from the company was extremely intimidating, rude and he made threats.

 

I called the company who was responsible for taking payment on behalf of the bank every month and they told me that they have sold the account and from now on I have to deal with this company based in Glasgow as mentioned above for the amount I owe them.

 

This new agent made me threats and also said that he will take me to court and bailiffs will be sent. He was adamant that I have not made the payments and hence his company has been sold the account. Now I only have one option either pay in full or go to court. I cannot afford to pay all the monies in one go and hence not sure what I should do.

 

Please can someone help me I am loosing sleep and this is affecting my health as well. I have had 11 operations so far and all this stress is not helping the solution.

 

Please let me know how I can continue with the same installment plan even though they have said they don’t do installment. I will add this new companies details at the bottom.

 

Look forward to hear from you.

 

Regards

DeltaUK

Firstly, never ever speak to debt collectors on the phone, as there is no proof of the conversation. Always deal in writing.

 

What you have heard is a load of rubbish, but difficult to prove you actually heard it (unless you recorded it).

 

Do you still have evidence of the banks agreement? If not, do not worry as your payment history will show consistency in payments.

 

Ignore the threats and continue your usual payments.

 

There may be charges linked to the overdraft that can be reclaimed. Send the bank a Subject Access Request letter with £10 postal order. Even if there are no charges, it will give you clear evidence of what is owing and what has been paid.

 

There is also a telephone harrassment letter you can send to the DCA. If they do phone in the meantime, refuse to answer security questions and insist on written communication only.

Is this Debt Collection Agency AIC by any chance as it sounds like their tactics. Don't let them worry you they can't send in the Bailiffs and if they did take you to court all you would need to do is to produce a budget planner. No Judge would make you pay more than you can afford. This is typical scare tactics. Make sure when you send your letters that you don't sign your name just type it in. Also ensure you send recorded delivery.

 

If you read around the forums on Debt Collection Agencies you will see some of the stunts they pull to wind people up. Don't fall for it. If they phone again just say you don't deal with financial matters on the phone write to me and I will respond.

Well you've made the first move to getting a good nights sleep by registering on here, cag is better than any sleeping pill, so stop worrying now.

 

As said twice above and repeated here, don't ever talk to them on the phone, (their nasty tactics have worked on you and you are worried, which is their intent), refuse to answer any questions they ask to confirm who you are and they should put the phone down on you. If they continue you can just repeat over and over, "in writing please" and don't give them a chance to speak, or you can put the phone down on them.

They will probably continue to ring you until they receive the telephone harassment letter linked in mtar's answer, post #2.

Stop worrying and stop losing sleep this so called debt recovery company that has told you they are now handling the debt are breaking a lot of rules. next time they ring just plainly and politly say if you wont to talk about this debt then you can put it in writting and send it to me and then hang up. simple.

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for your advice. I have send a CCA letter to them on Friday. This afternoon i recived a call from the company (Allied International Credit). I explained to him that i will need everything in writing. He got really upset and threatned me that "wait and watch what will happen in next 24 hours".

 

I have checked from Royal Mail that my registered letter arrived today to this company.

 

Please can you let me know what should i do next and how to deal with this?

I am getting panic attacks due to this and not sure what to do, Please help.

 

Regards

Please help!

If you search for AIC you will see that this is typical of their bully boy tactics. Just sit back and wait, no need to do anything now.

 

In my case Lloyds passed my account to AIC I had the same phone call as you, I sent them a CCA letter and after 3 months they didn't come up with the agreement and they returned it to Lloyds.

 

You may get a couple of messages left on your phone asking for you to phone them urgent - please ignore. If they should continue with their phone calls send them the Harassment by Phone letter, if you have not already done so.

 

No need to panic, remember they cannot do anything.

If its a current account then the statutory provisions of S.77 -79 don't come into play.

 

However, there will be unalwful penalty charges imposed as part of the debt so that will be enougfh to put it into dispute.

 

If it went to Court the Judge would merely make a Time to Pay order - which may result in payments being lower than those you are already paying.

You may receive different advice to your query as people have different experiences and opinions. Please use your own judgement in deciding whose advice to take.

 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified insured professional. Any advice I have offered you is done so on an informal basis, without prejudice or liability.

Thanks for your advice. As mentioned i have sent CCA request. I can confirm that i refused to speak to them over the phone twice yesterday (as advised). Is it just a waiting game till they reply to me ?

 

Although i have to agree they are one of the worst in the market with no ethics whatsoever.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am really upset to say that the phone calls have not stopped. I received a phone call on Monday and again this morning. They have been extremely rude to me. Also been sending me text messages that I need to contact them or else.....

 

Please can you help me what should I do now? Although he confirmed that he has received my letter for CCA but I terminated the phone call as advised by forum members.

 

I am not sure what my best course of action should be now? Can I send them a letter about harassment by phone and request a complaint procedure. This is what someone else has done, please let me know.

 

Regards

Deltauk1

Yes, send them the Harassment letter also ask for their complaints procedure.

 

You should not let these people get to you. You really do need a suit of armour when dealing with them, if they see they can intimidate you then they will.

 

Remember they can't do anything.

There's no need to do anything. Until they respond to the CCA they can't enforce the debt, and the phone calls have now stopped.

 

The ball is now entirely in their court. They have 12 working days to respond to the CCA from the date of receipt.

MBNA - Agreed to refund £970 in full without conditions. Cheque received Sat 5th Aug.:D

Lloyds - Settled for an undisclosed sum.:D

Still have another week for AIL to send my CCA.

 

Which I doubt they will do delta, so dont worry.

 

Believe me my friend, I have been in the exact same boat as you. And following the advice from the good people on here, most of my worries have stopped. Just a couple more to sort out.

 

Dont give up hope, stick with it, follow the advice, and get some sleep. You will be fine. :D

Nothing. Sit back and wait a further 30 days when they will have commited a summary offence at that time report them to TS and OFT.

 

Does the same apply when they send a letter saying, and I quote:

 

"We are currently requesting the Credit Agreement from the original creditor. You will appreciate that this could take some time. We shall contact you again when we have this information."
