    • How do I 'link' a letter without posting it publicly. Sorry for stupid question.
    • Rather than dsunaks lies, lets look at the reaL Data and real black holes in the UKs budget - all created by the poop Tories   Public sector finances, UK: April 2024   Main points Borrowing – the difference between public sector spending and income – was (a black hole of) £20.5 billion in JUST April 2024, the fourth highest April borrowing since monthly records began in 1993. Borrowing in April 2024 was £1.5 billion more than in April 2023 and £1.2 billion more than the £19.3 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Public sector receipts grew by £1.6 billion compared with April 2023, however, this growth was outstripped by a £3.1 billion increase in spending over the same period. Since our March 2024 publication, we have increased our initial estimate of borrowing in the financial year ending March 2024 by £0.8 billion to £121.4 billion, now £7.3 billion more than the £114.1 billion forecast by the OBR. Public sector net debt excluding public sector banks (debt) at the end of April 2024 was provisionally estimated at 97.9% of gross domestic product (GDP); this was 2.5 percentage points more than at the end of April 2023, and remains at levels last seen in the early 1960s. Excluding the Bank of England, debt was 89.9% of GDP, 8.0 percentage points lower than the wider debt measure. Public sector net worth excluding public sector banks was in deficit by £703.4 billion at the end of April 2024, a £93.5 billion larger deficit than at the end of April 2023.     and the Tory legacy of financial mismanagement  to be passed on :   UK government debt 2023 | Statista WWW.STATISTA.COM Government debt in the United Kingdom reached over 2.25 trillion British pounds in 2022/23, compared with 1.83 trillion pounds in...

    • uncle, why you think the last 2 years I did not not do this lol - 90% was keeping my partner sane... but after explaining everything and that we have a plan she is feeling a lot better about it.
    • That's very interesting to hear! I received a notification of a CC verification from Coles in Australia on the 12th May - also a Sunday evening. Not having been to Oz for about 30 years I was somewhat suspicious and so immediately cancelled the card. Guess what, it's the one I use to pay Lyca with........... If you've got any further information I'd be interested in hearing it.

    • 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.

just post the Data Protection Act request to the address where the account is held. it is then up to them to get it to the right person. i wouldn't worry about past cases with provident, because their interest rates are so extortionately high that they should not be taking any more from you.

I to am having problems with provident for a loan I took out last year couldnt find a thread so if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I moved to Oldham last October and informed Provident a month in advance and they said not to worry as they had collectors and offices all over the country and someone would be in contact with me at my new address to carry on with doorstep collections (I had 2 loans at 300 and 150 with apr at 177 for both. I heard nothing after a month so rang them where they said the same thing and also gave me a mobile number of an agent, when I finally got in touch with him he said they had no offce in Oldham and agents did not collect in the Greenfield area (about 4 miles from Oldham centre) and put me back in touch with their office in Bradford.This went on for a couple of weeks then around December, I think, I got a solicitors letter from C K EDRUPT threatening court action so I rang and explained the situation and they asked if I could pay by debit or credit card which I replied no as I had neither hence the reason for the loan in the first place to get me back on my feet (stupid I know as they are legal loan sharks) again I was told someone would start collecting again from my new address in 10 to 14 days.I heard nothing till yesterday when a letter arrived from C k Edrupt saying that my address is no longer covered by any local offices and that payment should now be made to them so I rang provident who put me through to a debt agency who then put me through to EDRUPT and explained to them that it took Provident 8 months to tell me that they had no offices or clients in this area and that I was willing to pay a little a month as that is all I can afford being on incap and she laughed and said its my word against Provident to do with them saying they had said they would collect from my new address as I have no written agreement and that I must send the 395.50 owed or come to some agreement so I said I could afford a pound a month and again she laughed and said no and wanted to know how much I got a month and all my outgoings again I said if it went to the CAB they would offer the same as thats all I can afford so in the end I put the phone down....any advice as to what I should do......cheers:o

There are some Provident Threads, go to search at the top of the Thread, type in Provident it will bring them up. Personally, I would do a CCA letter as there are errors on their agreements and Provident don't like going to Court because of their high interest. There has been one case were the Judge ruled in favour of the defendant because of the high interest. The CCA letter is letter N in the General Forum Templates letters, send recorded delivery with a £1.00 p/o cheque. They have 12 working days + 2 days to respond, if they don't then they are in default and you can stop making payments.

I can't see sending a SAR to them would gain anything for as far as I am aware that don't make any admin charges other than their high interest rate which is set at the beginning of a loan.

The address is

Provident Personal Credit Limited

Colonnade

Sunbridge Road

Bradford BD1 2LQ
