    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t. 
    • Not that TOR will see this now he's thrown in the hand grenade. Rayner has plenty of female supporters on X, for a start. As for the council and HMRC, fair enough and I thought Rayner was already in touch with them. That's where it should be dealt with, not the police force. @tobyjugg2 Daniel Finkelstein thinks the same as you about tax. The Fiver theory.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Us 'veterans' on here would note that this is the 3rd year these sorts of comments have been made about these 'awards'. We understand they are just used for the debt industry to pat each other on the backs and say "well done" ...Anyone outside of the DCA business knows they (the awards) mean sweet FA in all reality and there's no reason to waste your time Emailing whichever comedian is performing on any particular year...as if the comedian cares anyway, he's being paid £5k to trot out an hours worth of old jokes to make a few drunk idiots laugh, then so be it.

 

The way to really get at these DCAs is not to moan and bitch about these awards (they'll happen anyway) but to continually pursue, annoy and anger them with CCA and SAR requests and anything else that will cost them money - not forgetting to tell everyone you know about their rights as well as this site. How many of you know someone who DOESN'T have any debts, and how many of those have had their debts passed to one of these DCA's? - Need I say more?

 

Let these morons enjoy their one night of abandon - just make sure you bring them back down to earth when they all return to their desks the following Monday.

  • Haha 1

Just hate every DCA out there

Okay point taken – but the more people that email his management company the better – the more people that add bits to his wiki page the better – the more people that comment on facebook the better – don’t get left behind - these are ways of letting people know what really goes on and it’s free.

This idiocy is why we should hold our CAG Awards, and highlight the cases which we know about from this site as we give the DCAs their 'awards'. Can I be the host for ours, I am sure the puppets will rise to the occasion, particularly Bert, 15 inch Johnnies dad...

 

Why don't they do the 'decent' thing and announce that due to the bad publicity the awards are cancelled for this year.

 

My top award would be given to Merittfarce for being stupid and ignorant followed by East Ayrshire Trading Standards for failing to bring them to book... (I strongly suspect it is because Meritfarce bring jobs into the area at a tough time).

Our Litigation Specialist, Nick R**** is another who ‘goes the extra mile.’ Last year he sued 76,000 debtors through the CCBC, achieving a 98% success rate. His knowledge and experience has led him to become one of the most successful legal managers in the debt collection industry.

Christ they are proud of this statistic, although I think this is an old announcement, probably old Nick is not doing so well now

I don't doubt that DCAs see the cost of these absurd functions as worthwhile in terms of retaining staff. Far cheaper than paying them a basic salary that would not lead to reliance on commission. Cheaper too than training them properly.

 

As for all this nonsense about 'corporate social responsibility' - it's all part of the web of deceit that the industry spins around itself. The only people who believe it is them, I suspect. Then again, we could look at what corporate social responsibility means - keeping people too stupid to flip burgers off the streets by employing them? Picking up the fag butts around the smoking area? Switching off all the lights at home time? It's an easy catch-all expression that they think will help protect the debt industry from the mounting wave of revulsion at the way they really do business.

Lenny Henry for example pontifcates on behalf of Comic Relief about poverty and demanding that world governments ease the debt burden on third world countries yet he is prepared to take the stage in support of an industry whose sole purpose in life is to make money from debt. Ah well it will soon be Red Nose time again and I know one person who wont be supporting it. __________________

 

As I watched Comic Relief last night all I can remember is above.

 

Sorry Lenny but your a hypocrite!!!

He 'sued' 76,000 debtors in a year? A 40 hour week works about about 2000 hours a year which is less than 2 minutes per debtor. I wonder how many monkeys he has under him!

In their tenth anniversary year they will be hosted by silver-tongued comedian Dara O’ Briain, host of Mock the Week, who was dubbed the best ever guest presenter on Have I Got News For You by the Sun newspaper. O’Briain replaces Michael McIntyre whose filming commitments have been extended.

 

Looks like Mr. McIntyre has bottled out of the Credit Today Awards!!!!

She added: "With awards for debt counsellor, responsible lender and the newly added corporate social responsibility category, we are focusing more than ever on those companies which have demonstrated over the last year excellent and responsible approaches to their everyday working activities."

 

Looks as if there'll be a 'roll over' this year then. :rolleyes:

Time to email Mr O’Briains management company and post on his Wiki page – every little helps and maybe it does make a difference.

 

Good idea, can someone post his details
