    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. 
    • I'd get back to them tomorrow, and explain the circumstances, that you have a wedding reception, and just appeal to their better nature. Hopefully they will be able to move sooner rather than later, especially if you go in in person and speak to them, and show them the issue.
    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • 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.

Thanks ODC, I'm trying again with 50 webs at the moment - should know in about 30 minutes. It will probably be a disappointment now!

 

This is usually so straightforward, I'm not sure why I'm having so many problems tonight.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I'm still chuckling at the bit on their site which says: "To make outbound and to receive inbound telephone calls".

 

I'm trying to imagine the bit of the training course that goes along the lines of: "when you MAKE a call, it's OUTBOUND, but when you RECEIVE a call, it's INBOUND. We'll test you on that at the end of the day."

 

Regards.

I wouldn't like to be the Trainer. You'd have to come up with your own snappy little acronyms like: MORI - MAKE = OUTBOUND, RECEIVE = INBOUND.

 

It would be a bloody nightmare. Imagine having to negotiate your way past all those climbing frames.

Training monkeys must be fairly easy. I have done kids and dogs with some amount of success (I hope) but surely as long as you have a large stock of value bananas from the local supermarket you should do a reasonable job:D

Tesco would be the place to get them from. A few years ago a sharp-eyed customer noticed that they were giving so many clubcard points away with banana purchases that these were worth more than the bananas themselves, so he bought a huge amount, claimed the clubcard points then gave the bananas away. He ended up quids in. I think whoever made that decision probably got sacked and ended up working for Aktiv Krapital.

I think we are all bl**dy bananas anyway - driven to it by years of harassment by the DCAs. Bananas have quite a lot of relevance in life really - as in 'which banana boat do you think I came in on,?' when a DCA tells you they will bankrupt you without a CCA, then of course we have DCA monkeys who are encouraged to do their worst by payment in bananas. The currency of the future I suspect.

Blimey - 1st November... We've now been living in hospital 61 days in total with no end in sight...

 

In defence of Equitas I would like to say that without their continued harrassment I would never have found CAG, which would have meant I'd never have found this thread and the last 3 days (seriously 3 days I've been reading it now! I'm not a slow reader I just have to attend to my daughter every so often especially when she's not feeling so good) would have dragged on and on. As it happens they've flown by as I've had Mr Fuzzybobble and Co keeping me amused and entertained :p

 

Also, my call to Equitas seems to have worked! No letters or calls for 3 days!

Hi Tinnud, I read your first post and my heart goes out to you and your family for what has happened. I've had a few problems of my own but as a father myself, I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through and I don't know how I'd cope with it or even if I could. So I wish you all the best of luck and hope that everything works out well for you and your little girl.

 

This is probably the best thread to read if you want to know how to deal with these idiots. Here you will learn that they are nothing whatsoever but jumped up little McDonalds rejects and failed numpties. There is always a serious, underlying point in every thread on CAG but a good deal is dealt with by good old-fashioned British humour and contempt for "authority", not of course that these idiots have any, but you know what I mean.

 

Kind regards,

 

Fred.

Thanks Fred Tiana has been an inspiration not just to me and my wife but to hundreds of other people that have been following her story (I'm not exaggerating her site regularly receives over 350 visits a day!)

 

I think the single most important thing I learned when I found CAG was that I could stand up tp these DCA's and actually take control for the first time in years! The last thing we needed when our little girl was in intensive care for 6 weeks was calls and letters from their threat-o-matic printers!

 

CAG gave me the belief in myself to stand up to them and I've spread the word to friends and relatives...

 

DCA's beware... We're fighting back!
