    • Thanks for that nuanced response Bazza. I was hoping to argue that I did turn left into the road and what happens on the road I turned into is a moot point. Best, Chris
    • Hi mitm are you able to DM me? Need some advice and rather just take off here for now. Won’t let me DM you as a new user. 
    • Just a little something for consideration When a card is compromised, the replacements can be set up to automatically allow or manually re-add, old recurring transactions. The card issuer may ask you to confirm legitimate transactions which they would effectively 'migrate' to the new card Some do - some don't. Some staff on some cards seem to be entirely unaware/uncaring about this. Some card issuers expect you to sort it all out manually.   BUT if the leak is an ongoing lyca leakas it seems - as soon as you or your CC supplier give it to lyca/the leak source - compromised again     A note on security DONT use the same email or phone number for your banking as you do for sims etc. Although a bank eg santander leak would compromise this Infp seems to suggest that single/compromised multi factor authentication customers are priority targets, with more robustly secure cards being hit by 0.00 tests first Consider that the email address is one of the OTP recieving options AND one of the OTP security checks prior to sending the OTP - with the phone number being another So if they've got your card and email (same email for banking and end contact) - and you aren't forcing a phone OTP - you are compromised.  
    • Thanks for posting up the back of the NTK. The good news s that as it does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act, it means that you are not liable for the charge as the keeper as I explained in a previous post.  The PC fails for two reasons. The first is that it does not specify the period of parking. All it does is list the arrival and departure times of your car. Obviously that does not include the time taken to drive to the car parking space, manoeuvre the car into the space and later drive from the space to the exit. Nor does their times include things like getting kids disabled people out of and into the car as well as things like returning the trolley whilst still being parked. All of which can add a fair bit of time to the parking period which can then be subtracted from their ANPR times and makes your actual parking time a lot shorter than 118 minutes they seem to think it is. The second reason is that they failed to ask the keeper to pay Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][e]  (e)state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges You as keeper are now in the clear which is a good reason for you to contact Sainsbury  stating that you are being pursued as the keeper when you are not liable under the Act as well as the oher things I suggested in my previous post. If you don't get it cancelled with Sainsbury this could drag on for months with endless letters unlawfully pushing the price up to scare you into paying.  
    • Brilliant! That's great to hear and honestly pleased I'm wrong, my advice was out of concern. I checked some of your previous posts last night and you've been giving great advice to others at times. Bringing a claim can be serious (counter-claims etc) and it didn't appear you were knowledgeable based on posts so far. Far from an expert myself, just interested and will try to help. I'll sit on the sidelines, best of luck with the claim!

    • 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.

RMA went as quick as they come with a flea in their ear lol

Hi Laura

I managed to see them off by getting my boss to write direct to them to complain about all the phone calls they made to my work place Once my boss told me RMA had rung him eight times trying to get hold of me in space of one day! and totally ignored him when he told them i do not take personal calls at work However they dropped me like a hot potatoe when both me and my boss wrote them a warning letter each about telephone harrasement! Never heard anything more!:D

Im happy to help with support and my own opinions but as i have no legal qualifications If I offer any thoughts to your problems please take it as from my life experience only and not of any legal standing. Always take further advice from the legal experts in your final action,

Sunflower I`d be mortified if that had happened to me in my profession I`d loose my job for having financial problems.

 

A colleague retired last year he missed the authority so he took on a job as a debt collector for the Council Tax/Rent he loathed it and said houses he went to nearly brought him to tears when he saw how upset the householder was he said some homes had nothing not even wallpaper on the walls, he gave the job the boot he said he couldn`t bring himself to ask for a penny off such unfortunate people luckily hese been offered a civilian post in his previous employment

 

I wouldn`t have the heart to be a debt collector it takes some bottle and in my opinion you have to be without concience and have no soul and if it helps be a real bas***d it would suit some you might say who get a kick out of being just like that

Idiots called this morning but only let the phone ring twice so no chance of answering it! I know it was them from the London '0207' number which I recognise but they did not leave a message.

Something which nearly made me fall off the sofa laughing though was the appearance of a German name on the screen during the Winter Olympics which I kid you not is 'A. W**K'! I know, schoolboy humour, but a very unfortunate name for someone when he travels to the English speaking world.

I know the one you mean Andreas Whisky Alpha November Kilo a Ski Jumper. I though that was bad enough but writing only his first initial and surname makes matters much worse. Then agian is there not a town in Austria called Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo India November Gulf, so I suppose it could be worse if he came from there!

good on you Sunflowere feel same learnt a lot wish I could gain a lot more knowledge but it`s difficult getting responses at times and the right and correct ones at that, at moment wanting advice on MBNA sending the sars day after filed a N1 at court do i have to let court know? and how and when can I do a wasted costs

 

I think when someone bullies you it makes you come out fighting and you finder a inner strength that you never realised you had

 

I feel able to deal better with things as said though in the light of correct advice it`s the not knbowing how to do things and the lack of confidence that holds you back

Yes you are right and i even found myself enjoying being irritating on phone to them:D i never though i would ever find myself saying i enjoyed a DCA call! and they get so agitated when i refuse to go through security details ! It is hilarious!:D Meant to say have you seen the mammoth cheekiness to DCA started by MR Ton! That is a great thread full of various wind ups and jokes about DCAs!:D

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bear-garden/131409-cheekiness-towards-dca.html It will be a few hours reading! It is one of Cags longest threads!

Hi Laura

I have not got any expereince of that stuation with MBNA as in my case MBNA took me to court and i got a no win no fee solictor to defend me so not had to do court thing on my own. and i was luuky that when i put in SAR request MBNA complied in reasonable time so i did not have to do an official complaint or court summons to get them to comply! I jst wotre thema couple of firm letters and did a couple of phone calls to chase it up! But i will see if i can find a nice cagger to answer you!:)

I believe that I truly excelled this morning, either that or I’ve proven I really am a total nutter. Anyway here is the dialogue.

 

Me: hello

DCA: Is that Mr X

Me: No this is Mrs X

DCA: Are you sure that is not Mr X you sound like Mr X

Me: Are you saying that just because I have a deep voice that I’m not feminine

DCA: Of course not

Me: I think my friend Kirsty Wark might want to do a programme about the likes of you

DCA: Is Mr X available

Me: hold on and I’ll check

(put phone down and walked out of room then screamed OH NO NOT AGAIN before returning to the phone)

Me: Sorry I’ll need to go, Mr X has slashed his wrists again, I thought he had been in the bathroom rather a long time.

(Hung up phone, then broke into a convulsive fit of laughter. Then I thought, what if that was not a DCA? It could have been Readers Digest telling me I had just won their £250K prize!)

 

Oh well that made my day and I hope it helped brighten yours

Excellent!

Idiots are not playing ball with me. Phone rang once only this morning so no chance of answering and then the mobile was ringing but I did not notice until I realised it was out of battery and charged it to find that I had had a 'no number' call which I am sure was them.

I have some ideas up my sleeve but I am sure they are just playing the numbers game with me now where I am on there list of people to call, so they call to hit a target but don't bother waiting for a reply because I have never picked up in the past.

I never phone DCA’s back but I know some folks do, so, I’ve been thinking of how you might wind them up if you were calling them. I was thinking along the lines of:

 

You: I have been left a message to call you.

Them: Can I have you name or reference number

You: We are the XYZ Vulture Sanctuary you left a message saying that you had some specimens for uplift. How many Vultures do you have there?

 

I’m sure others can elaborate and have great fun with this.

 

In fact we could gather the troops online and all simultaneously call. Just imaging flooding their incoming lines and every one of us using the same wind up. We could run a competition to see who could keep it going longest.

I have just had a similar disapointment. Capquest called whilst I was on the other line on another call. I had to simply say I'm busy and hang up. On reflection I should have asked him to hold and just been in no hurry to end my other call. I wonder just how long he would have stayed on the line. I hate it when i think of something better to do after the oportunity has gone.

they called back and this time I think I got him really wound up because the call culminated in him hanging up. It went like this.

 

Me: Hi

Him: Can I speak to Mr X

Me: Whit? (in a broad Glasgow accent)

Him: Can I speak to Mr X

Me: Are you a tallyman?

Him: A what?

Me: Whits wrang kin you no speak Inglish

Him: Is Mr X there

Me: Stoap askin the same al question I telt y’ ya eejit ees no in fur the tallyman

 

Clunk! He hung up.

I may have just overstepped the mark. here is the dialogue

 

Me: hello

Him: Am I speaking to Mr X Y

Me: Yes

Him: This is Alex calling from Capquest, for security can I take...(I cut in)

Me: Can you read

Him: Of course

Me: well have you read my letters

Him: I cannot answer that until we have gone through security, what is your... (I cut in again)

Me: If you refer to those letters you will see I ask for written communication only, now I’m guessing that if you can read you are educated so what part of written communication are you failing to comprehend

Him: I’m not here to be insulted sir (again I cut in)

Me: well you certainly made a bad career choice then didn’t you? I’m guessing that you must be really ugly, so ugly that the only job you can get is talking to people on the phone, that way they cannot see just how repulsive you really are. I bet you look like a bulldog chewing a wasp. Have you considered a career move? Perhaps into horror films?

Him: I don’t need to listed to this abuse

Me: you are quite right, you can hang up any time

Clunk!

I don't think you should worry about what you say to them. You and I have made it clear to them that we will not talk on the phone in several letters, so why do they persist in calling?

What they are doing is clearly harrasement and if the person calling is unaware of the history of the situation, tough.

You are quite right Exchange that if these companies resort to harassment tactics then they should not be surprised when we retaliate. I was feeling a trifle guilty at my tirade of abuse this morning. Perhaps you do need to be somewhat masochistic to work in a DCA call centre but I’m sure no one really deserves to be verbally abused like that at work. But do you know what the really sad thing is? I actually enjoyed it!

I have decided what they are going to hear if they keep calling. I missed calls today while I was out but they did at least leave a message for me to call!

I have found on 'Spotify' Monty Python material, (Dead Parrot Sketch seems ideal) and Spike Milligan's theme tune to his 'Q' series, for example amongst others which I will play to them at full blast until they stop calling.

Can't wait to give it a go and see how long they stay on the phone for!

Coactum, Could I have my calls re-directed to you please, you handle them so brilliantly!

 

Trouble is MBNA and Cap 1 seem to have given up for the time being, this does however leave the line free for Blair, Olivia and Splot to get through!

:p

Blair Oliver & Scott are as you may well know the inhouse collection arm of Bank Of Scotland. I'm surprised that they did not appoint a new partner Humphry or the likes post Halifax merger. If your debt is a Halifax one I guess you could insist on wanting to talk with Mr Humpty or something equally stupid.

Your suggested Monty Python etc got the old grey matter wondering. Do you remember that Ronnie Barker story about Cinderella that was riddled with spoonerisms? Well perhaps we could do likewise when a DCA calls.

 

You might say "mist all chucking frighty I’m tucking fired of you phastards boning me. Why don’t you cotton runts realise I’ll never go through your stoody blupid security protocol" and so on. I wonder just how long it would take before they twigged what you were saying.
