    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • I want to add my 2 cents here...  The purchase of this debt, Perch Group dont absolve themselves of liabilities from the Original Creditor. They should be responsible for dealing with this complaint in response to an Irresponsible Lending dispute.  If the balance is disputed as such in that way - Then they should be referring to the Original Creditor where applicable.    Also if your complaint was written in a way where a template wasnt used or it was rewritten to a similar effect where it wasnt recognisable - Then you probably would have stood a better opportunity at it not getting rebuffed.  To be honest those - Perch and TM Legal are a waste of Oxygen and will say anything to get you to pay.    Ditto on the template. Where did you find it?  Please keep in mind we have to unravel what you have done till now and help build a formal response.

    • 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.

A Bit of Background

 

I have a debt of approximately £1,500 with them. I went through the cccs to help me with a debt management plan, and so therefore began paying all my creditors an amount every month. This was Sept 07

 

And then...

 

In March or thereabouts they contacted me and basically said that they hadnt accepted the offer from CCCS and can I increase my payments by £9.50 via standing order. I did this and thought fine its all done and dusted.

 

Which resulted in

 

A company called Debt Clear Recoveries & Investigations contacting me in June to say that my account had been passed to them as I was not making the required payments ? I explained over and over again that MBNA had contacted me earlier in the year to confirm what I had to do. No one wants to listen, and I'm being pressured into borrowing money from relatives - oh and the golden figure of £26 a month which they have magically assumed I can afford!! Total Joke!

 

I am not stupid, I could feel the aggression in his voice as he dictated what I had to do in order to sort this. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I have reported the whole matter to the FOS indicating that MBNA had not dealt with me fairly yadda, yadda, yadda and I am currently awaiting a response back from them - he hated everytime I mentioned that He kept saying that they were seperate from MBNA - but then said that MBNA still owned the account - TWIT

 

In the end I put the phone down on him, as he would not listen to me and as far as I am concerned I dont have to deal with them. Then I did a GOOGLE search and ended up here

 

So far I have spoken to an Ian Anderson and a Mrs Habibi - both of them display the same qualities, forceful bullies.

 

As I refuse to deal with them, (despite them making me over generous offers to repay as I forgot my ability to conjure up wads of money ) - where do I stand?

 

Your input would be appreciated, thanks

Hi, what you need to do is send these jokers a CCA request, this costs £1 and send it recorded, do not sign anything, do not talk to these cretins on the phone ever again.

 

they then have 12+2 days to respond after that time they have not sent a legible valid agreement the debt is in default and you do not have to pay them anything.

 

alternatively if you are in a DMP with the CCCS then send them the details of your battle with these idiots

yep you can do what you like, there are no hard and fast rules, although the CCCS do not tend to like getting involved if you cca someone then cancel the payment to them through CCCS. but why pay when they are not allowed to collect and are giving you a hard time

Hi Gertrude

 

Am new on here myself and have just returned from the post office after having sent off, recorded delivery, 3 CCA requests and a postal order for £3, to MBNA. We have been through to hell and back with the MBNA and I was delighted to have found this wonderful forum myself! You should find the advice and encouragement in my own thread AA99 v MBNA and fellow-sufferer Lexis200 v MBNA thread of use to you.

 

Good Luck

you send them a cca request with a £1 postal order by recorded delivery, do not sign the request, they then have 12+2 days admin time to respond with a valid agreement, after 12+2 days if they do not respond the debt is in default and they cant request payment or start any proceedings

 

and that is it

I think this is the one................. you do it first, and foremost, with every creditor............apparently from what I've leaned in here, have a look at my site, in exact same boat as you.... AA99 v MBNA :-D

Hi All

Would like some advice and give encouragement - To Quote *Dont let the B** get you down. Neil you know who you are (cretin)!!!

This person is named already on the forum and lies / bullies people into payments they cannot afford. -DON'T

____________________________________________________________

I currently have a DMP with CCCS and of the five creditors these are the only ones causing trouble with continued letters threatening your credit file and employment. Their representative makes it very clear that CCCS work for them and not to believe anything that CCCS tell you. -RUBBISH

______________________________________________________________

 

There aim is to get a charging order on your house. But they can only do this if you dont keep up payments on a CCJ. They are trying to take me to court at the moment. Never been to court before could be a new experience but I am not going to let such a load of B* win.

______________________________________________________________

 

I wonder if anybody has fought a CCJ from MBNA and would give me the opportunity to have a settlement fee reduced from 7K compound interest over many years against the amount in a letter they would accept as 2.5K

 

Thanks in advance

Debt Clear claim to administer the account so send it to them. If they are acting as agents for MBNA (which I think they usually are) they are obliged to pass the request on to MBNA (which all takes time and creates extra hassle for them) ;).

Please keep an eye out for the number 10 e petition I put up asking for the removal of MBNAs credit license and I have complained to my MP and the financial ombudsmen.

 

Please pass on the link, maybe even post it in the main forum !!!!!!!!!!:-x

Ok - will make a mental note of that.

 

Somehow I'm not optimistic :???:

 

Am keeping an eye on Royal Mail so I can get the proof of delivery.

 

Quite interesting as they have said its been delivered from their Chester office, when my letter was clearly addressed to a place in Manchester.....hmmm (said Nanny McFee style!)

Decker,

 

MBNA work very closely with the CCCS and Payplan as they don't charge their customers. But they aren't able to accept as low payments as other companies are.

 

If people are in debt with MBNA and can't pay the normal payments they look at debt management programs. The least they can accept monthly is 0.8% of your balance, which will pay it down over 10 years. If you can't do that then they will freeze the interest and fees, but the account will default after 7 missed payments

 

MBNA will only look at legal action if they believe you have the money to pay, but are unwilling to do so.
