    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

this is a link to my original thread

 

just got an equifax alert

lowells have just put a default on my credit file

 

just a recap

 

this was a aqua card

hbos in writing say they have no record of a cca, no default notice

all collection activity will be recalled from any dca

default removed feb 2008

has been put on twice since then by hbos in error, both times after a very angry call to them, removed in two weeks.

 

this time, not bothered by hbos

its lowells ime after

 

now they have defamed my credit file, they are going to pay big time.

need to get my options straight.

i believe pricing a default is £1000 plus the value of the default

illegal processing of data etc

 

i need to get my pre action protocol correct

can i go straight to court on this one, or should i argue it out with lowells.

reason being, they are going to take there time, and the default will still be on my credit file

 

can any body do a decent poc for me as i will be serving this n1 on monday

just being going through my old correspondents

thats when i confronted hbos

lesson to all, keep all correspondents

informed lowell no cca/default notice etc

hbos default was on credit file at the time

telephoned lowells about dispute and not a peep out of them since

 

this is strange that hbos deleated there default and its taken lowells ten months to put on there one

letter Before Action

 

Dear Sir/madam

After Receiving An Alert From The Credit Reference Agency Equifax, It Appears Your Company Has Registered A Default On My File.

The Credit File Details Listed Below

 

Company Name/insight Account Number

Lowell Portfolio 1 Ltd

Account Type Credit Card

Current Balance £ 981.00

Status Defaulted

Date Updated 30/10/2008

Default Date 29/09/2004

 

Your Company Contacted Me Reference This Account On The 21/01/2008.

I Informed You That I Was In Dispute With The Original Creditor Halifax Bank Of Scotland Over This Account And That They Had Failed To Supply As To My S 78/79 Consumer Credit Agreement Request For A Copy Of Any Agreement.

Halifax Bank Of Scotland Contacted Me On 3/08/08 ( Copy Enclosed ) That They Were Unable To Provide A Copy Of My Agreement.

Neither Were They Able To Provide A Default Notice, Or Termination Letter.

A Further Letter Dated 19/10/2007 It Was Confirmed That The Ammount Of £ 981.67 Is Coded For Write Off And That They Would Not Be Enforcing The Agreement.

It Was Also Stated That In Error The Alledged Debt Was Passed For Debt Sale Before They Brought It Back Fully Under The Banks Control.

I Require An Explanation As To Why Your Company Is Processing My Data And Why Your Company Has Registerd A Default When It Has No Legal Authority To Do So.

The Original Default Was Removed By Halifax Bank Of Scotland After I Instigated Legal Procedings Against The Bank.

take Notice

 

This Is A Fourteen Day Letter Before Action Allowing Three Days For Service.

Unless Lowell Remove All Details Including Searches From My Credit Files By 20/11/2008 The Following Action Will Be Taken.

With Out Any Further Reference To Your Company An N1 County Court Claim Will Be Placed Before My Local County Court For The Removel Of The Data From My Credit File.

Compensation Will Be Requested For Defamation, Priced At £ 1000.00 Per Default.

Woodchester Lease Management Services Ltd V Swain And Co.

I Am Also Of The Opinion Your Company Has Committed Offences Under The Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading regulations For Which A Compaint Will Be Made To The Relevent Authorities.

This Letter Complies With All Pre Action Protocol

Mr Postggj

just got this email

 

I am writing following our telephone conversations today along with receipt of your e-mail.

 

As discussed, I can confirm that in January 2008 HBOS plc did request that that we close our files in respect of this account and return it to them. Regrettably, an isolated administrative error by a member of our staff resulted in the account following an inappropriate procedure which has caused an incorrectly recorded default to appear on your credit file and I would not hesitate to offer my apologies in this respect. I would assure you that a request has been sent to the relevant credit reference agencies instructing them to remove this entry from your credit file. Following our second conversation, I would also assure you that a further request has been sent to the same credit reference agencies to remove all searches from your credit file carried out by the Lowell Group of Companies.

 

Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience or upset that you may have been caused as a result of this unfortunate error. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
