    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx    
    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called.    I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job.    However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still have sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here.

    • 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.

I have today recieved my first knock back from WF for claiming missold PPI. I have penned my second letter with the evidence i believe that i was misold which is basically, when i first took out the loan i did not have PPI on, it yet when i moved house i wanted to refinace the loan and went to my new local office of welcome. They insisted that i took PPI or i wouldn't get the loan even though i pointed out the previous office hadn't made me take it and apart from moving house my employment was still the same as when i originally took out the loan so i stupidly took it so i could refinance.. is this a good basis to reclaim what i believe was mis sold PPI?

I have now recieved their final response in to the matter and they are not going to budge on it, they wont even answer my question as to why in one branch i have to have PPI and in another i don't. I amazes me that someone who can be given a job in such a high posistion can fail to answer such a simple question, and i fully believe if these people can get such high ranking jobs then surely there is hope for us all!!

Anyway, they have given me the option of taking my complaint to the FOS which having done so before and being let down i am inclinded to go down the court route (which, i did warn them on my final letter i would)

How would i go about this? I did my bank charges via this route but i am not sure as to how much i would claim or the paticulars of teh claim on teh court sheet.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Wills7

 

If you were clearly told that the PPI was compulsory and have evidence to support this, you have an excellent case for arguing the whole loan is legally unenforceable. The reason for this is that, for regulated loans (ie loans up to £25k) taken out prior to April last year, if they are not documented in a prescribed format, they are legally unenforceable. If PPI was a condition of the loan then it should have been documented as part of the Total Charge for Credit rather than as part of the loan. Your post indicates it was documented as part of the loan.

 

If you can prove you were told the PPI was compulsory, I'd go back to WF and say you will challenge the enforceability of the agreement under the CCA.

Hi Johnny - i've already had the 2 bog off letters form them and i've gone about asking for about it back the prescribed way.. On my last letter to them i told them i would be taking court action without further action should they not answer my questions as to why i was forced to take ppi as a condidtion of the loan and they didn't so i putting together my POC ready to file the claim.. The loan was taken out in 2005 originally.

medicare 24 - 50 ( i have no idea what this is)

 

My daughter has also discovered, not medicare 24, but lifecare 24, she nor my son-in-law were aware that they had been sold this. She has today written to them to have it removed and her account credited prior to settlement.

 

Will keep you updated

Regards
