    • 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've read them all - probably more than you. RLp deal with about 70'000 cases every year, the amount of threads here compared are minuscule. How many threads are there? Even if we say 100 threads thats about 1% (ish). You can manipulate statistics endlessly if you want to.Minuscle to your 70,000 ? what is the relevance-this is a Consumer site in case you didnt notice,granted theres many to come here yet-but it grows every week.

Theres a difference in the 70k you read-here we are helping not chasing.

I fully understand this forum and have been a user for years, under a different name. It's a fantastic place. Sometimes things do not go right when you're dealing with a huge number of issues though, do they? I mean, you're not evil if you mess something up - if the process is wrong?

So why choose only now to make your presence known ?

If you have been here for years you should know that CAG stands for justice and power to the Consumer-something RLP predominantly seek to deny its victims

 

 

I wonder if there is another example of this we could think of....oh yes, RLP.

Yes it did not take too long-or maybe you think Admin invented all the threads ?

 

My interests aren't vested at all. I think you're bringing your role into disrepute by even speaking to me in that tone - I'm here to help and this is how a "site team" member treats me? Are you for real? How is this helping the cause? You are working for RLP if thats not vested then I dont know what is.Helping the cause would be seen to be justified if you can explain some of the actions that RLP have initiated against people who have documented them within these forums.

 

I don't care how people view RLP to be honest. This forum, no matter how you spin it, is a tiny proportion of society. Like I said, I'm not defending RLP - but would you like to get into a discussion about the validity of civil recovery as a concept - I'm willing to if you are. RLP might do things wrong, I know this more than you do to be honest, but the concept itself is a sound one. If you disagree why not make a thread saying so and we can discuss it like adults?

Yes you say again that YOU DONT CARE this just confirms the assertion that your interests ARE vested.What concept ?

Yes it is sound if you are making money from it.

 

I know the misery and woe people have experienced. You get your knowledge from reading a page on a forum, I get it from real life, every day - who are you to lecture me on it?If you get it every day-then you should have no problems in understanding the very reasons for these forums.

 

No offence Martin, but you're out of order. I come to help and you basically try to get me to back off unless i tell you my name and address or something. It's insane.

I will let all those who have been victims of RLP make the decision as to whether I am out of order or not-after all,this forum was created for THEM.

I dont recall asking you for your name and address,nor asking you to sign any papers,after which you would get a demand for £137.50

Ah ha.....thats because I am not working or have any connections with RLP.;-)

Hi all,

 

Sebastianuser has contacted me and asked me to delete all my posts which incorporate his/hers due to several reasons which I don't want to disclose.

 

I'm not a heartless person, but am also loyal to this forum and all who subscribe to it as it has provided me with a fantastic source of support over these past 2 months - 2 months which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

 

What should I do?? I do believe his/her intentions were to help? Am I wrong?

 

Quick replies requested!

 

Thanks.

This is a decision for you to decide upon-no one can make that for you.

Oh no, not at all. It could have a detrimental effect on his/her life.

 

I am honest and have conscience and think I have to remove them.

 

Just worried about letting the other forum users down.

 

This is why I would never knowingly steal anything. Only wish RLP/Boots would believe me.:(

he should have thought of that when he brought his RLP attitude here.

 

Up to you, but I would consider were your loyalties lie firstly to yourself and your family, then your CAG friends who would help you through thick and thin right to the end.

 

 

RLP employees must come very low down the list.

 

Up to you and your own way of thinking, though. :-)

Sorry guys, wouldn't have been able to put my head on my pillow tonight - this person might have a family to feed.

 

Hopefully this will go a little way to proving that the people who do come onto these forums are honest and genuine and do not deserve the treatment they receive at the hands of RLP.

Hi hotfish,

 

How are you getting on with your awful situation?

 

yes, basically just said to ignore.......very similar advice as to what is on the forums actually.

 

I don't think they are such a frightening company as everyone thinks they are! They are just good with their threats!

I'm still trying to decide what to do....

 

If I ignore, am I just going to keep on getting letters for all eternity? And will it affect my credit rating if I don't pay?

 

I have decided to write to Boots though. Not now, but when the baby goes to school. I will take great delight in enclosing copies of all the receipts for baby products that I have bought from elsewhere to show them exactly how much business they have lost from me. In the two weeks since my ban I already have a couple of hundred pounds worth of receipts :D

Nothing here we didnt already know.

Cag has been looking into the activities of RLP for almost a year.

Much of what we have discovered has been reported but not all-some things,just like yourself we have chosen to keep off site.

We will continue our efforts to assist those who come here.

 

Given that the original posts from the so called RLP worker have now all been self edited,in addition to many of those of your own,I am inclined to agree with quite a few people active on these forums that this thread serves no further purpose and should be closed.

Yes I agree.It was quite amazing how quickly things developed.

However,there may just be a little disappointment-some of the posts were reported to the site team by users who remained suspicious or else voiced concerns as to the merits and motivations of the posts.

So we do have the posts.

Secondly I took the liberty of taking snapshots too because I was equally concerned and suspicious.;)

Martin, I don't mind if the thread is deleted. I'm new to this forum and am just trying my best to make sense of all any information I can find to try and make best sense of this awful situation.

 

I didn't delete my posts - just any quotes that I included from the other forum user as requested.
