    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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 had an account with NatWest which was closed back in 1995 (yes, 14 years ago), and recently had a letter from those ubermuppets at McKenzie Hall requiring me to take "urgent action to prevent escalation of their debt collection procedures".

 

I put the letter through the shredder, replaced it in their envelope, and addressed it to the Statute Barred Debts Division at MH. No stamp, obviously, and I wrote "check enclosed" on the back of the envelope.

 

A few days later, I had a phone call from a withheld number:

 

Me: Hello, Mr Red speaking

Caller: Hello, is that Mr Red?

Me: Yes, I just said that

Caller: I'm calling on an urgent matter, Mr Red, and I need to confirm your date of birth

Me: But I haven't told you my date of birth. Who is this calling?

Caller: I'm afraid I can't continue this conversation until I've confirmed your identity. Can I have your date of birth please?

Me: You know who I am, it was you who called me. What's your date of birth?

Caller (tetchily): Mr Red, this is a confidential matter, and we really can't proceed without the proper security checks

Me: Oh well, bad luck then

 

I sent the above transcript to Sir Tel, who read it out on Wake Up To Wogan.

I am a DCA, really I have credit licence, but I'm not one mentioned anywhere here and one of the ethical ones if there is such a thing.

 

So I have great fun when debt collectors show up and try to give me grief or call me. They turn a strange shade of grey when I show them my licence after I've encouraged them to break every rule in the book.

 

One turned up a couple of years ago and I asked him for his name and proof of his identity. Went back in the house and searched my databases for his name and the name of the company he worked for. Obviously I hadn't told him that I had a licenceor that it covers keeping credit references but the look on his face was a picture when I presented him with his personal details and a full report on the company. Not to keep of course as his little, chubby outstretched hand tried to take them. Oh, no...he'd have to pay for the pleasure of seeing them in full and through the usual avenues.

 

His shade of grey turned to a reddish purple and I swear I've never seen a black Audi estate move so fast, pity he didn't take more notice of the speed humps as it couldn't have been a pleasant ride.

No-one on this forum has found one yet..

You have had debt collectors ACTUALLY turn up at your house? You really are unique, an ethical debt collection company and have had the experience of someone calling at your house:eek:

Nah - wouldn't want to educate the monkeys by talking to them. Personally, if they came to my door I would answer it ONLY so I could slam the door in their face after telling them to foxtrot oscar :D As the chance of any DCA actually turning up at my door being slim to none, I too am rather surprised by your visits :rolleyes:

Vat man called by appointment at the small company a friend of mine is the director.

 

Both my friend and his secretary were wearing Mickey Mouse ears while both keeping a straight face. The guy was there for an hour. The secretary was in and out bring in info he wanted to see and all the time they were wearing the ears.

 

The surreal thing is, they kept a straight face, the inspector did the same and eventually left with no referrence to the ears whatever.

The first DCA to turn up on my doorstep gets a starring role on a Fuzzybobble special edition video on Youtube.

 

I keep my video camera on the shelf in the hallway with a full battery and a new tape in it. As soon as there's someone at the door who is unfamiliar I start recording before answering it.

 

So far I have someone delivering a parcel, window cleaner, and a Jehovas Witness. :D
