    • 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.

Hi, wondering if anyone can help rid me of my fears.

I have today received a letter from Link saying that they have bought an outstanding liability of £8064.84 from Ford Credit Group. This is for car finance of £32k, which left owing is the £8k. Obviously due to the hardships we have struggled with the payments, so Land Drover have passed the debt on.

Spoke to Link on the phone and they want the money by 22 Feb, all of it, so giving us plenty of time !!

We have tried for a loan, but knew we would get a rejection due to our failing credit score. We only have the one car now and obviously its needed for work, etc.

My worry is that afte reading this forum, Link will just keep adding the interest on to this, can they do this and is there no way i can stop them.

really worried !!

 

I presume that this in in relation to a Hire Purchase Agreement:

Best of luck to everyone else and *BIG RESPECT* to all the fantastic CAGers who have made life worth living again! Fighting back has dispersed the fear that used to haunt my waking days :D

Ha! the old thirty day letter.

 

Seems to me they wheel this letter out every time they don't have what you request, just another way of stalling.

 

Glad you are feeling a bit better about things Hywl, keep the pressure on Link, bet they crack before you

Hi Flaminscoty here,

I am in the process of suing CAB due to the way they allowed LF to get a charging order by default.

I have sent a load of evidence to The judge that heard my second attempt at trying to get my charging order set aside see Flaminscoty and Link!

I am making a formal complaint to OFT FOS TS and my local MP is starting an investigation.

B Jenkins MP (conv)...

Any help that cagers can come up with will help me greatly.

I CAN NOT ALLOW THIS COMPANY TO GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I AM CONVINCED THERE MUST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE ON THIS FORUM TO SINK LINK ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!

WELL WELL WELL,

 

After 12 months of silence from Santander (GE Woodchester) a letter arrives from Stink Outsourcing titled :-

 

INVESTIGATION OF ASSETS

(address)

 

We have recently, without success, attempted to contact you with regards to your outstanding balance with us of £****. Your refusal to deal with this matter has prompted our office to make an enquiry under the Land Registration Act 2002.

 

You are recorded on the Proprietorship Register at HM Land Registry as holding a benefical interest in the property ***************. This means you may have a significant asset, one that can be used to enforce a County Court judgement by way of a Final Charging Order.

 

Although we have not added interest to our outstanding balance, once placed with our Legal Department we will seek to impose our full legal rights.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

1) The account they refer is in serious dispute with original creditor Woodchester now Santander over PPI, later learning from PT that the agreement is seriously flawed and completely unenforceable.

 

2) Never had any dealings with Stink relating to this account

 

& 3) They sent the letter above to our former address which we moved from 3 years ago.

:eek: (only got the letter 'coz we are still on mail redivert).

 

Me thinks Stink are once again living up to their name.

 

Beachy :wink:
