    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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 guys, really looking for some advice!! My partner recieved a letter from Lowell stating that they are giving him the chance to 'bid back his account' which was with HSBC for x amount, the letter said if we can't bid and pay a lump sum then we can pay £40 a month.

 

Anyway he knows he got in a little trouble with HSBC about 9 years ago and was adament that he has heard nothing about this debt in the last 6 years...We have just moved into a new address so i'm wondering if thats how they have found him? Anyway, i replyed to them with letter template M i think it was stating that the debt is statue barred etc.

 

We have today received another letter saying they are in receipt of correspondence and will be in touch where approriate as soon as possible and in the mean time the account has been put on hold and we will not hear from their collections team. The letter ends telling us there is no need to write to them again nor have a representative do so for us.

 

Has anyone been in a similar situation with some advice for me? We've just had a baby so not paying for something we don't have to would be ideal right now!!!

 

Please help!!

Hi,

Will the Leeds Losers ever learn. :rolleyes:

It is down to them to prove the debt isn't statute barred. Simple as that.

 

They may try the "An attempted payment was made on such and such a date" but again they will have to prove it.

 

If you are thinking of phoning them-don't. They will try to twist you in knots and get you to say things you may regret. Do everything in writing and make sure you send all letters recorded delivery.

 

I would be asking people who have moved into your previous address to forward any post on to you as these DCA's have been known to file court papers at previous addresses to get a judgement by default.

 

There is loads of help on the forum to help see these leeches off :D

Before the Leeds Losers actually throw in the towel you will receive two once in a lifetime discount offers of 60% off for a quick settlement. This is a sure sign they are stuffed

Like I always say, especially where the leeds losers are concerned, you must report them, each and every complaint the OFT receive goes into a file, and when their licence comes up for renewal the OFT ask them to account for the number of complaints they have received, also if the OFT receive more than 20 complaints within the same month, they will investigate the complaints straight away, so your complaint may just be the one that tips the balance:D

they do not investigate,they write to inform them,alert them to the fact that there has been above 20 within the previous month.this is recorded on file for renewal time.

at least 3 of these in a year and no NEW LICENCE.which never happens,because they back off with their antics for a while:rolleyes:

 

 

TS choose which to report if local TS and west yorkshire TS agree to the breach reported by consumer direct.

 

we can but try:)

Well I bloody never!:eek:

 

Seems the DCA's tactics are rubbing off on the OFT aswell!

As you say, we can but try, but I always like to complain, it makes me feel much better when I know that my letter will hopefully depress them and make them feel worthless too......don't ruin my thought SAM!:p

I have not posted on this thread before but would really welcome some advice in respect of Lowell.

me and my OH have received a letter today from the company offering me and my OH the chance to bid on our debt.

Our accounts are currently with Payplan and a small amount are being paid off each month. Would it be worth us bidding on this

How much would you offer?

Has anyone received a letter like this before?

 

Any advice would be welcomed. :???:

Hi Beanie Babe - I really wouldn't bother - if you are on a debt plan you are a lot better of sticking to that than getting caught up in what would only be a fake bidding war to get you to pay more than they did for it hence making them a profit

Do not be fooled. This is a CON TRICK by the Leeds Losers to get rid of an old account. Report them to the OFT

Thanks for your advice. I would be more than happy to report then to the OFT but what reason do I state in my letter? How could this benifit me and others? Is there a template letter I could use as I am not very good at putting letters together. X:???:

could give you 100 reasons for reporting them but not one would get passed cagbot:D

 

its a con,ignore them.

 

your bid has to meet their reserve,which will be far more than the pittance they payed for it.

 

less than they say you owe.

but a lump sum for them,instead of a small monthly repayment.

Hi

 

Further to the above we have since received another letter - main paragraph below...

 

We would advise you that the limitation act 1980 section 5 is not applicable in your case and would refer you to section 29 (7) of the limitation act 1980 which states "A current period of limitation may not be repeatedly extended under this section by further acknowledgement or payment." Your last attempted payment date on this account was dated 30th November 2004 for a payment of £30.00.

A copy of the agreement and statements has been requested from HSBC Bank Plc and these will be sent to you upon receipt. We trust this clarifies the situation and look forward to receiving your payment proposals.

 

What exactly do they mean by an attempted payment? Surely there either was or wasn't a payment made?

 

Can anyone advise what we should do now? Do we just wait for them to provide these alledged statements or should I reply to them saying we look forward to receiving them...? My partner is sure he never made a payment...

 

Thanks guys

Could that mean they tried to take a direct debit which was refused? Think they're clutching...

 

You must ask for - no, DEMAND - proof and details of this so-called attempted payment. Make it clear that if you uncover any evidence of their misleading you, you will approach the police to report an attempted fraud.

Lowell speak-"attempted payment"= we're screwed :D

 

How on earth could they prove an attempted payment was errm, attempted

 

Put them on the spot. Ask them to state when, where and who made this attempted payment. They won't be able to as they have plucked this date from thin air AND they can only prove a payment that HAS been made.

 

Report the losers.

Send a copy of the letter with your formal complaint to the OFT.

Make a complaint to Lowlifes aswell.

 

They have begun using this con to fool people into thinking that the debt isn't SB, when in actual fact it is.

 

An 'attempted' payment, which they can't prove, and I sincerely doubt you ever made, does not nor can it re-start the SB clock.

 

The evidence is in the letter, "Acknowledgement or Payment"

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Just the usual hillocks from the Leeds Losers. An attempted payment even if made by you does NOT count. Make them prove who made this attempt and where and when it was attwempted. Treat this latest piece of bog roll with the contempt it deserves

This is so true...I never looked at it like that...If he 'attempted' a payment then no payment was actually made in which case the section of the limitation act they are referring to does not apply in our case?

 

Any ideas on the sort of thing i should write back to them? Any templates i can use?

 

Thank you so much for your help!!
