    • I started paying her old council tax as they said they would jail her I managed to get those account details. We then got back together she moved in with me stopped me going to my house. Eventually let me back in I was there 4 days then the police showed up at 1am arrested me for 8 different offences. On the morning I was in custody she rang the letting agent and asked for the house to be changed to her sole name as I was in jail. The house was changed to her name I was made homeless. The bills she did not change to her name left them as occupier the utility companies then said I had to pay as there was lots more usage than an empty property. My solicitor said if I don't pay them I will be reported for it. It has since turned out that in her old property she didn't pay the bills. The electric bill she put in her daughter's name then cancelled the direct debit the council tax she never attempted to pay. Due to one of the accusations I have since been told I need to pay these bills even after getting emails saying I'm not liable for the bills. I have forwarded these on to the police and solicitors and had no reply. Other than you have to pay these bills. I'm also going to end up paying the bills where she lives now as once again they are not being paid. I can't go in to detail about the case as I'm due to be charged next week not sure what with yet but the police have told me I'm going to be charged.  My ex will not tell me nor can tell me about her debts as she doesn't want me to know how much debt she is in or has put her daughter in once she turned 18. I do not want to be paying her debts after what she has done to me.
    • In the earlier thread (now linked above) you were going to change your name by Deed Poll. Did you do that? Did it solve any of your problems? What, exactly, have you been charged with? Has a court date been scheduled? I cannot think of any reason why the police would tell you to pay your Ex's debts that she incurred 5 years before you met her. Either there's lots of the story you aren't telling us, or you have misunderstood what you have been told, or you are trolling us. Earlier you said it was your Ex who wanted you to pay her debts and, for some reason that  no-one here could understand, you were going to do so. So your Ex can give you all the details of her debts and you can pay them. She can hardly expect you to pay them if she won't give you the account details! I've never known debt collectors be fussy about who pays as long as someone does. They routinely take payments from friends and family to clear debts. It's not illegal to pay someone else's debts

    • 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.

Having a rest from Link-GE Money (everythings quiet with them at the moment, must still be up the tree eating the bananas.)

 

Anyway just received nice letter from Sainsburys saying

 

"As at todays date your account is £xxxxx over its credit limit of £xxxx and you now need to make a payment to bring the account within the agreed limit.

 

To help us assist you in resolving this matter quickly you can telephone the aove helpline number an operator will be able to take your payment by Switch or Delta Debit Card (yeh, yeh, yeh, don't be daft)

 

We felt it necessary to bring this matter to your attention as an overlimit situation can result in transactions being declined. You wil also incur charges until this situation is resolved.

 

If a payment has been mae in the last few days, please accept our apologies and disregard this letter"

 

Standard letter obviously.

In another envelope arrives the statement showing

Notice of Default Sums

Transacction Charges : Overlimit £12

Total Default Sums £12

 

Now as I've been on DMP for 12 months and they've never bothered to acknowledge this and have just kept piling on the interest (after me asking them not to five times in the last year) what is the concensus of everyone should I now go down the CCA route. I am sure that I never signed an agreement and that I would know of definate if the application form has been changed due to various thing and this application form was done in store. Or should I SAR them in the hope that they produce the agreement along with the statements etc., There has not been a default registered with this account as yet.

 

Comments would be much applicated.

 

Thanks

Hi Diamondgirl,

 

I am now subbing your thread, I would CCA them first but no doubt you will get a standard reply similar to mine. At least they do reply!

 

I have neglected my Sainsburys one at the moment to concentrate on my MBNA ones but I am still paying it, although now will become a struggle as less hours at work so less pay!

 

Just need to find the next appropriate letter to send.

Hi Dotty50

 

Have you sent Sainsburys an I&E and an offer that you can afford. If not it's worth a try. There is an I&E template on the forum or you could go to CCCS website and download one from there.

I'm going to CCA them at weekend I've just not got time this week do anything.

Hi diamondgirl,

 

No not sent I & E yet but probably will as it gets more difficult to pay.

 

Also have a Halifax cc and it looks like they have an enforceable agreement so will have to make F & F offer to them first I think.

 

Of course this too is BOS --- same as Sainsburys!

 

Will be interested too see if I get a favourable response.

Hi

 

Still not had time to CCA Sainsburys yet but letter typed ready.

 

Got home from work to find two letters from them one dated 2nd July one dated 6th July.

 

1st one signed by the lovely Charlotte Senior Operations Manager stating

Despite previous reminders your account remains xxxxx in excess of your agreed credit limited (yeh yeh bxxxxy interest charges)

We would remind you that under the T&C of your agreement your balance must be remain (as typed in their letter) within the agreed limited. As you have failed to adher your card is now invalid (has been for over 12 months)

You should not attempt to use the card (not got it anymore) as your transactions will not be authorised (bully for them.)

Failure to rectify the position or contact us to discuss the situation with the next seven days will result in a DN under the T&C of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (yeh yeh we all know about that now don't we)

To help us assist you in resolving the matter quickly telephone the above helpline an operator will be able to take your payment by Switch or Delta Debit Card. (yeh sure they will.)

 

2nd letter

Thank you for your recent letter regarding the above account. We are sorry to hear of your current financial difficulties and appreciaste that this is a difficult time for you.

We acknowledge you are currently seeking professional help and advise in order to deal with your financial situation.

I norder for us to hold your account to prevent further action we would appreciate it if you could contact us on the above telephone number and make a small token payment as a gesture of goodwill (haven't I been doing that for over 12 months?)

Please note that interest and charges will continue to be debited until we receive a financial statement and an offer of payment from a Debt Management Company or a self help pack which meets our current repayment policy (they've had one for 12 months and just ignored it.)

Signed by the same lovely Charlotte

 

 

Have you ever seen such a load of rubbish although they were rather quick after all I sent my letter on the 29th June.

 

I think they will be getting info from CCCS after I've rang them tomorrow and they will be getting a CCA request sent to them on Saturday (first day I can get to the PO).

Any comments on their lovely communication would be of interest and by the way I did put in communication only in writing so why am I likely to ring them.

 

Its very interesting at work when the lovely DCAs and CCC ring up to speak to someone about a client, they don't rant and rave at the Company so they can actually speak to people in a civil manner if they really try but I bet it hurts them so much.

Hi Diamondgirl,

 

Just wondered how you are doing with Sainsburys. I haven't pursued mine any further at present as concentrating on others.

 

Halifax responded to my F & F but not favourably, guessed as much.

 

Just thought I would see if you had done anything further.

Not been around much recently - no pc.

 

Well Sainsburys finally decided to pass me and CCCS over after 18 months.

 

Letter a week ago from Blair Oliver telling me to ring urgently otherwise we MAY send someone round, yah like I"m going to phone them. Sent them the don't darken my doorstep letter.

 

Lo and behold to letter stating they have been instructed to commence court proceedings and papers are being prepared. Letter ready to go off to them. My luck is that they will go through Northampton. Must admit there has been a load of charges added and the interest has been mounting up. After my dealings with Link and Court papers they don't scare me.

 

CCA request ready to go to Sainsburys Monday. I'm am pretty sure that they don't have an actual agreement only an application and I didn't complete that the guy in the store did and he messed it all up so I'll know for a fact if the copy isn't the original one but as always it's mine word against theirs.

 

Keep you posted when and if the application form comes back.

Ah good old Sainsburys and Blair oliver and stupid! I received a letter from them a couple of years ago saying they were instructed to prepare court papers....ignored them...I had been paying £10 a month to Sainsburys and they had frozen interest and charges (eventually) last week I got a letter saying it had been sold to Cabot :( or :) depending on which way you look at it lol....Blair Oliver & Stupid are part of Halifax who part own Sainsburys, so basically just in house debt collectors...

 

Sainsburys were adament they had sent me a copy of a properly executed agreement, if that was so why have they now flogged it off to Cabots?

 

Send you CCA and post up what they send.

 

Good luck :)

Same here, got mine in store. After a few years could not pay, made arrangements to make token payments and they stopped interest. Been paying non stop but still got hassled by BO&S, they later sold to Cabot, still making token payments. Not sure what will happen in the future though as my invalidity benefit is up for review.
