    • Lowell has recently bought over one of my old debts and in chasing me for payment have sent details of the debt to my ex-wife via email. Let me first start by saying i do owe the debt and I don't dispute it; whether it is unenforceable I don't know and this post/thread isn't to find that out. Lowell bought this debt earlier in the year for an account I ran between 2021 and this year before falling behind with payments and the debt eventually being sold off despite my attempts to deal with the original creditor. Lowell have sent me ONE letter in respect of the debt before reaching out via email to my ex-wife, giving information about the original creditor and the amount owed. I'm very concerned that Lowell have adopted this approach as I thought contacting a friend or relative about a debt was outlawed by FCA, but to find they have done this has left me shocked and a little embarrassed. I'm also concerned that they have potentially breached GDPR by sharing details with a third party without my consent. While there's little personal data given aside from the creditor and amount, I am mentioned by first initial and surname in the email sent to my ex-wife. I've never used this email account, have never had access to it and it has no connection to the original creditor so I have no idea why Lowell would use it to try to reach me. I've made a complaint to Lowell both about the communication being sent to a third party and potential GDPR breach, but should I be doing anything else?

    • Thank you again. I'm hoping it will come out in the wash and will endeavour to check my online account. I'm a bit unsettled by not hearing from Booking.com but the host is sounding helpful at the moment. HB
    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB

    • 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 have willingly signed your petitiopn CitizenB

 

I was told by someone in legal circle a few years back that only one Default marker can be placed with regards to one matter.... you have me wondering now.

 

When I had my default placed on by CITI, the account went on to a DCA and nothing else was put on by them, even when I couldn't afford to pay them as well....

Afternoon Fox

 

Corr yeah wouldn't it be fun, all in front of Ellie :rolleyes::D;)

 

I worked out the other evening that I hit above the level for remission on the fees by about £120 a year... oh well CapOne will be paying them back soon anyway, so on either Teusday or Wednesday next week we will take a wander in the Evil Sherrifs land and forced the Sherrif to deliver the letter to C1 and then they will have 2 to sort out, vewry quickly cause I am sure there is gonna be a rush after we see what happens with ours... and C1 have to back down from their threats and deliver.....

 

Just a quickie, have you seen my thread with crap1 one, I put a question on there and no one wants to know me... boo hooo :Cry::cry::Cry::cry::Cry::cry::Cry:

 

Then I am going to sort them out as well. There will be a few questions on there because its not as straight forward as Cap1 seems to be at the mo.:?:?

Halifax should have it pointed out to them that the draughtsmen francis Bennion who wrote The Consumer Credit Act 1974 provided s127(3) on purpose to protect consumer and actually stated that if a crediter could not be bothered to ensure the correcct prescribed particulars were not accuratly included in the credit agreement it deserveed it to be be found unenforceable and that the courts should not have the power to relieve them from this penalty!Halifax is trying to imply that us ordinary consumers should not have access and protection from the law and the section Francis Bennion worte in to give us some prtection to protect us !

Consumer Credit Act 1974 s 127(3)

As the draftsman of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 I would like to thank Dr Richard Lawson

for his interesting and well-argued article (30 August 2003) on

Wilson v First County Trust

Ltd [2003] UKHL 40, [2003] 4 All ER 97.

Dr Lawson may be interested to know that I included the provision in question (section

127(3)) entirely on my own initiative. It seemed right to me that if the creditor company

couldn’t be bothered to ensure that all the prescribed particulars were accurately included in

the credit agreement it deserved to find it unenforceable, and that the court should not have

power to relieve it from this penalty. Nobody queried this, and it went through Parliament

without debate. I’m glad the House of Lords has now vindicated my reasoning and confirmed

that nobody’s human rights were infringed.

When me and the wife were in financial problems in Wales (before *&)$%"£?{@ Rock ) came along, we approached Debt Free Direct, they sent us the forms and we filled them all in and returned them with all the evidence they required, they were going to do an IVAfor us as we had debts over £18K... weeks came, then a months then 2 months and after about 10 weeks we phoned them up to see what was going on, and the reply was "You can't have an IVA because 40% of your income is from benefits !! "

 

They said to the misses, we sent you a letter, and when we asked about our evidence they said "oh we keep that to show that we had tried for you"... We have never received ANY Corresponfdance from them other than the compliments slip with the pack and the letter they sent all our stuff back in.

 

I launched at about Mach 3 onto the phone and gave them what for :mad:(and I didn't swear once because I knew the calls were recorded) and the answer was, "Ok we will send them back to you but we will have to photocopy them all and you write a letter confirming that we tried to do it for you"

My reply was still civil but growing louder:shock: by the second and I asked for the CEO's name, head office address and told them that if they photocopy anything I will take them to court under the Data Protection Act, as they had no authority and no permission to hold my copy documents, and they certainly were not getting a letter from me, except via my solicitor. The girl then asked about their fees, and |I said WOT FEES ? and for some reason she hung up very quickly.:mad::mad::mad:

 

I have spoken to a couple of other people who had the exact same problems with Debt Free Direct. In my eyes they are the sort that need to be struck off...

Hi Keefyboy!

My argument is though is whether it is a debt management company or a lawyer or Cag or a friend it is still a cheek of these banks telling people they not entitled to give advice or pass on knowldge about the law!whether it be free as in case of CAG and friends or paid for in the case of a Debt management company or a soliciter!Its not as if these organisations not telling the truth!

if i got a letter like that i would point out it is a basic human right to have advice acess to and use the law even if it not in banks favour!:rolleyes: and whether it be from a debt management company or Cag or a lawyer or a friend or relative we are all entitled from whatever source to help advice and knowledge about the law including the The Consumer Credit Act 1974 !Even a Debt Managfement company trying to make a quick buck out of situation is entitled to pass on and educate the Consumer about the laws in place to protect them and to me i can not see the difference between paying for and seeking the advice of an Debt management company or between a lawyer specialising in the consumer Credit Act issues as it all boils down to the same!We are all entitled to know our rights and its not as if they are being misleading people as both a lawyer and Debt management company both only pointing out the s 127(3) of consumer credit Act designed and written to protect the ordinary consumer and making a living out of it!Though obviously its better for us discovering CAG and not having to pay huge fees of course ! but still a gross infringement of human rights if bodies like the Ministry of justice and banks takeing action against organisations who are only telling people their legal rights and if that ever happens i will be ashamed of this country :evil:
