    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • UK travellers have been turned away at airports because their passports are not valid for EU travel.View the full article
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

here we go again I guess. Missed phone call (nice one Truecall :) ) and they were Robinson Way when I checked the number.

 

Never come across these before.

 

My main question and I never seemt o get to figure our the anser is

 

'are DCAs allowed to contact you by phone when nobody (Original creditor nor DCA) has sent you anything in writing yet stating Company X is dealing with your account or We have told X to contact you.

 

from capital One I have had a general we will set the DCAs on you (no specific name of one though).

 

So are they allowed to phone / contact you without anything specific being sent to me beforehand and in writing?

HI: Be brave. Ignore RW telephone call.

 

Only deal with any DCA by Mail. DO NOT TALK ON PHONE. If responding to letter from DCA do NOT sign - Print your name!

NO, they are not allowed to, it is against the OFT guidelines on Debt Collection

 

PHYSICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL HARASSMENT

 

2.5 Putting pressure on debtors or third parties is considered to be oppressive

 

2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

 

© Using more than one debt collection business at the same time resulting in repetative and/or frequent contact by different parties

 

(d) not ensuring that an adequate history of the debt is passed on as appropriate resulting in repetative contact by different parties

 

(e) not informing the debtor when their case has been passed on to a different debt collector...etc

 

Robinson Way aka Robbers Way are well known on here!!!

 

REPORT THEM TO THE OFT

Thanks you both :)

 

angrycat - the 2.6 (e) is something I had not noticed / read before.

 

 

 

What are Robbers Way like then compared to other DCAs? have searched forum but getting no real idea of that. Are thy pussycats or trouble?

 

What should I expect? Do they ignore requests to go away / cca / etc etc?

I got rid of them with one letter, saying that the matter was still in dispute with previous DCA/OC....so shouldn't be much of a problem

I sent them a CCA request and they sent me a letter back saying that i would never have received a Credit Agreement for the account they are chasing me for and asked me to keep paying them!!

 

After the Account In Dispute letter was sent they closed the file.

 

I did send them a Full and Final Settlement offer on an account i had been paying for years and they just closed the file. I only owed £12 and i offered £5 to settle in full. Oh well they don't need the money that much.

 

Just ignore the phone calls and wait for them to write to you. They are pretty easy to get rid of in my experience.

I found out Robinson Way paid £29.75 for a Sainsbury’s Visa Card Debt of £8000 with no credit agreement. I am having fun with them.

 

That must be some sort of record, what fraction of a percentage point is that?:rolleyes:

How did you find that out?

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Got their letter today. It seems I have 10 days to pay them lots of money or they 'may' etc.

 

It seems that this problem 'will not go away or be forgotten'....

 

Interesting bit of subtle wording there.

 

 

Is an 'assignment' then a letter from DCA to me saying OC has told them to do this or sold them the account saying 'pay up'?

 

Should I not have rec'd this (if that is what an assignment document actually is?) before telephone calls?

 

Actually does anybody know if the OC should be letting me know about RW first or not? Or even at all?
