    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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.

Hi all

 

Have been paying Cabot 18 pounds per month on Abbey o/d. Balance now about 275 pounds.

 

Sent the F&F offer of 100 pounds, bearing in mind they've already had nearly 100 off me.

 

They won't take any less than 175. My daughter has left home recently and I am considerable worse off. I said I will have to reduce my monthly payments to 5 pounds. They will only accept 10.

 

I told them they will have to take me to court then because I can't afford any more.

 

As its an overdraft I can't CCA them so what can I do?

you could send abbey a sar to reclaim back any charges on the account.

 

if you need to reduce the monthly payment , then do it whether they accept it or not. you can only pay what you can afford. if you have already told them this then just make the altertnative payment

They will bloody accept whatever you offer. Do these idiots have any legal rights to be collecting money from you anyway.

 

I'm with Ida, get the SAR sent to Abbey and reclaim all those charges they have put on the account.

 

Then tell cabot to sod off.

Didn't have any charges on the account. I was within my o/d limit when I defaulted and went to CAB so charges not added.

 

I have cancelled my 18 per month DD to Cabot but cant find their details to set up 5 per month. Want to set up standing order instead as someone on here said that they can change DD amounts.

 

Can the bank set up a s/o without me getting in touch with Cabot as they already know who the are from the cancelled DD?

 

If I don't set up anything at all what will happen? Don't really want to phone Cabot in case they start hassling me again.

Don't be intimidated by cabot. If £5 is all you can afford then that is all you pay. Have you done an income and expenditure sheet or contacted someone like the cccs? Creditors do seem to respond better if you have gone through the appropriate channels.

Would suggest adapting template letter d here

How about sending a regular cheque to:

Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited

PO Box 241,

West Malling,

Kent,

ME19 4NA

or phoning and asking for payment slips so you can pay at the post office:

0845 0700116

or it looks like you can pay online here:

Mr Ton, what will they do if I don't pay? The reason I wanted to do a F&F was to clear a default off my credit reference. I wasn't going to pay the 100 till they agreed in writing to do that.

 

If I don't pay anything do you think they will get back in touch and take the 100? I'm not giving them any more than that.

 

If they don't what will happen if I don't pay anything? Surely it's not worth their while taking me to court for 270 pounds?

Credit files are not actually worth the paper they are printed on.

It will always be down to the company in question as to weather you get credit or not.

Its yet another industry myth built up over so many years that CRA files have relevance...

do you have someone close to you with a cheque book?

 

If so give them the £100 and ask them to write a cheque to Cabot for the £100 quoting your account number with them and saying the cheque if accepted and cashed is in acknowledgement that the account will be closed and default removed from your credit file.

 

If it comes from a 3rd party and they cash it they are bound by those terms.

 

If they don't and send it back - you've lost nothing and go back to paying them the £5 a month.

 

I bet they cash it!

that is the risk you take if you do not pay.

 

whilst we all know mr.ton detests anyone paying a dca ( who does'nt) but when people are due money and do not want to go to court and want to pay it to clear it up it then obviously you need to make an arrangment to pay.

 

It's up to you

If the DCA does not obtain payments via the correct legal route then they should be told to bog off effectivley.

DCA's lie,cheat & bully no matter what you pay them - thats why i advocate letting a county court sort everything out.

That way there can be none of that then.
