    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .

    • 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.

Hello well i have finally gone BR. I am so relieved. All i have to do now is wait for the OR to send letter asking for some bits and enclosed will be the time and day of my telephone interview(little nervous).

 

I really do not know what i was so worried about??

 

For anyone in the same boat, thinking about BR etc... please see my thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/formal-solutions-bankruptcy-administration/160299-bankruptcy-advice-questions.html

lots of bits in that. I had so many threads as i had so many questions.

 

Also i have managed to open a cash builder account with co op this afternoon after going bankrupt. I explained my situation and the lad on the phone was very helpful 08456027057. With this account i get internet banking, the ability to pay direct debits and standing orders, an electron card. Also do not worry if you do not have a co op branch near by (my nearest is 50 miles away) you can use the post office to pay in money, cheques and withdraw cash.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me on here including: phat256, fermi, 42man, sugarbabe47, gizmo111, palomino the list goes on. But thank you all of you. Without this site i do not know what i would have done throughout the process.

 

If i knew where you all were i'd buy you a drink. Also if i happen to be lucky enough at some point to have any extra money i will be donating to the site.

 

I will keep you posted.

 

Remember there is light at the end of the tunnel and people are about to help. I am looking forward to my fresh start and rebuilding my life without feeling sick ever day and wondering how i will pay this creditor and that.

 

Thank you everyone.:p

Glad to be of some help. And glad it all went OK.

And thanks for keeping us posted. Now you've been through the mill you will be able to offer the benefits of your experience to others.

 

Also, make the donation a bit bigger - I'm teetotal. :)

 

Best of luck for the future.

Hey you!! Your post sounds so happy if that makes sense! Well done!! You give me hope that I will be ok as I am in court thursday 10a.m. gulp. As bad as BR feels I think ours has come at the best time as hubby has lost overtime and the threats have started. Have emptyed out nationwide, kept some money at home and put enough in the new cash account with barclays to cover the newley set-up direct debit instructions. If the OR decides to freeze this I wont be happy but then I will have to open up a co-op account or hope barclays is unfrozen in time for the dd's due at the end of the month. Cripes I am petrified and excll at once. My nerves are shot to pieces but I will be so glad to stop hiding from the postman and to be able to answer the phone will be enlightening. I feel alone so please spare a thought for us this week.

Anyway GS well bluddy done!!!!!

 

All the very best to you

 

Hazel

hey boston. dont worry too much.

hopefully the OR will not be interested in your basic barclays account, and barclays are one of the 2 that will accept BR's. So fingers crossed. May be worth getting the ball rolling with the co op acc.

 

I have my telephone interview on Monday, i have just filled in some paperwork ref tax and Ni, and got my wages slips and bank statements etc ready to post in the morn. I will defo feel even better after the phone interview as it is all well and truely over by then.

Ok the phone call is all done and dusted and was not as bad as i thought. The lady was very nice and didnt ask as much as i thought she worried.

 

I have one area of concern, i wrote on my list of creditors that i had purchased items from a catalogue to pay for rent and living expenses. This was when i was out of work from october 07 to feb 08. This is not for a vast sum i think it was a sat nav and 2 digital cameras maybe around 800 in total, which i then sold on ebay.

The lady on the phone who was not the main OR but one of her assistants? said this would be flagged and looked at further. She did say however not to worry too much as it would seem to only be for a small amount in order to survive. But as i did not pay for the goods it has to be flagged. Does this mean they may go for a BRU? I really hope not, if they do when would i know?

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks again everyone.:)

How long does is it take for all creditors to hear about my BR?

 

I ask as my partner called the council ref our outstanding ctax and they had not received any info as yet. I went BR 2 weeks tmr.

 

They have asked for a copy of my petition so they can amend the bill to only be in my partners name.

It can take up to 8 weeks for the OR to let them all know.

 

Anything urgent, then it is best to do it yourself.
