    • 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.

    • 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 am sure that this would be a sackable offense if the door stepper was employed - usually they are self-employed but still should be stopped from working for IJ.

 

He will almost certainly have a "arrangement" with a mortgage provider although it may be difficult to prove.

 

 

GK

It was a phone operator who was trying to bully my wife.

He was named in my complaint to RBS concerning this matter.

I am waiting for further responses from RBS and IJ who have both asked for time to investigate the case. If i am not satified with the outcome the s*** will start to hit the fan. !

IJ have sent me a letter for me to set up a standing order to pay them.

I telephoned RBS customer services and told them that IJ had not responded correctly to my CCA request and returned the postal order and told me to send the request to RBS directly.

The RBS told me this was the right thing for IJ to do as the debt was with the RBS not IJ.

I explained that the request clearly states that that being the case IJ have to pass the request on themselves ! RBS did not agree and said i should send the request to them.! The 12+2 days are up since sending IJ the request what should i do now ?

 

Hi,

 

Just been reading your thread having had dealings with IJ.

 

I am afraid that RBS are wrong with their statement as the DCA has a duty to pass your request on to their client. Below is a small exert from the "What Consumer" website:-

 

CCA Request - Section 77 - 79

 

Under these two sections of the Consumer Credit Act, it is your right to request a copy of the executed credit agreement from the creditor, along with specific and current information concerning the debt (s 77 relates to fixed-sum loan agreements, s 78 refers to running-account credit (credit cards) and s 79 to hire agreements).

 

With regard to loans, the specific information must include:

 

The total sum to be paid, as per the agreement

The sum still outstanding and the due dates for each installment

The total sum payable, if different from the agreement.

The creditor has a period of 12 days working days in order to provide the agreement and the statement. If they cannot provide the information, the debt cannot be enforced until they do.

 

In addition to this requirement, new regulations now require loan providers to provide statements to be sent to the consumer no later than one year after the contract was made. Failure to do this will mean repayments (and interest) can be halted until the statement is sent.

 

Your request must be made to the creditor (via the debt collection agency if one is involved) with the payment of £1)

 

Regards.

This is utter crap by RBS. IJ are chasing you for the money. You send the CCA to them. If they are not the Creditor then they are LEGALLY obliged under S 175 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 to pass your request on to RBS. Its not your job to contact RBS for this. In fact under S 189 of the same Act IJ could well be defined as Creditors thus having all the rights AND responsibilites of the original creditor

In other words IJs pathetic attempts to pass the buck just show them up for the undoubted CRETINS that they are. No wonder they are sacking so many threat monkeys:D:D

IJ wrote in response to my complaint about their company's bully boy tactics and apologised saying they did not have recordings of the calls to check on what had been said by members of their staff. oh yeah

They say all their staff are trained to be courteous and professional at all times but all future correspondence will be by letter. suits me !

They go on to say they will accept payments by a previous arrangement.

Pity they could not supply the cca i asked for.

The file of letters they have sent will make interesting reading for my MP as i think that will be my next port of call.

How can they defend not supplying the cca then send out letters asking for payment it's pathetic.!!:D:D

IJ now are saying that i set up a payment arrangement last week and that i am now in arrears of that arrangement. What arrangement !! more like derrangement !!.

Sent them a letter saying that i do not accept their apology and want further action over my complaint over their scare tactics and the account is in default letter was in there too.

Am gonna contact RBS as well to see what action they have take over the matter as that is where the original complaint was sent and they were going to investigate IJ'S conduct. :-x:-x

IJ have answered an my letter of complaint and account in dispute letter by saying they have told me how to get a copy of the cca by contacting the RBS directly.

IJ keep refering to an arrangement i made to make payments on the account and that they are still awaiting a further installment.

I have made payments to IJ in the past but they always asked for more money and said i could afford to pay more. !

The manager who sent the letter tends to think IJ have done nothing wrong. !

I have also sent RBS a letter demanding answers to the concerns over IJ's handling of the matter and told them i hold them accountable as they employ this bunch of clowns. !:mad::mad:
