    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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 took out a loan with TXTloan this month. It's not something I do often but I do usually find TXTloan easy to deal with, convenient and not too expensive. I borrowed £100 and will be paying back £110 on 30th Sept...

 

EXCEPT that this morning, while I was straphanging on the bus, some scrote nicked my wallet out of my bag. Luckily all that was in there was about a fiver in cash, some stamps, my Nectar card and my Debit card. More upset about losing the actual wallet, to be honest, and some photos that were in it... Anyway, Natwest cancelled the Debit card straight away when I called them, replacement to come, very efficient.

 

But then I emailed TXTloan and explained my circumstances - I am happy to pay back my loan but won't have a replacement debit card for a week-ish, so can I have bank details to do a transfer. Answer: NO. Absolutely not. Unless we can take funds from your debit card on the 30th, you'll be charged myriad fees and penalties and we'll strike you down forever blah blah. Me: but I don't HAVE a debit card, it's been stolen. THEM: tough.

 

Any advice??

Well, if they can take payment from my card all the better - at least they won't try to charge me for being late... Although Natwest did say the card would be cancelled immediately as it was stolen - my PIN wasn't with it or anything, and I've checked and no-one's tried to use it online or anything today.

Message from TxtLoan to nonymouse and readers of this blog.

 

Firstly, in such unfortunate situations as far as one has sufficient funds available and account is not suspended there is no problem on due date.

 

On the other hand, if you have cancelled the card simply notify us in writing ([email protected]) and we will find other means for the payment.

 

We are sorry if you have had bad customer support experience, we are here to help and not make things more difficult.

Dear Txtloan team

 

If you had read my post above, and if you had read the email I sent you yesterday, you will note that I HAVE notified you in writing that I have cancelled the card as the card has been stolen and I HAVE offered to make other arrangements for the payment. Unfortunately, the reply you sent to my email made it clear that you are not willing to make alternative arrangements for payment. Funny how you can come onto a public website and be all lovely and nice and 'here to help' but you can't do that when I contact you by email, isn't it?

 

IF you send me your bank account details I WILL make payment of the £110 I owe you tomorrow by direct payment. I will NOT be paying any further charges for late payment.

 

Thank you.

hi i am dealing with these clowns - whilst i take full responsibility for taking the loan the help any off these companies offer if u come into trouble is a joke - i sent them a letter stating i couldnt pay back and can i set up an arrnagmeent they declined and said that for a £100 loan total i would pay back is now £200 if they cant take full payment from my account i have said fine send it outside company and then i will negotiate with them and get them to take off the unlawfull charges

 

in reality wen these companies sell your debt the sell it for around 80% of the value becasue they are making money anyway as they are covered by insurance plus they get the money from the sale of your debt so its happy days for them

They are nothing short of useless I can tell you!!

 

I sent them a snotty email telling them to stop calling me at work and they replied and said that they were not calling me as my debt had been passed to a DCA - well funnily enough, I recall they have an internal DCA, also quoted them the telephone number, have now just had an email asking for my mobile number so they can identify me, funny how the guys surname is nastasio!!! Wonder if that is made up or not LOL!!!

 

Are we able to get the unlawful charges removed by going down the same process as you do with the banks and credit cards?

the unlawfull charges can be removed by yourself just have to stick to your guns if these people threaten you with legal action tell them great see u in court as they would not go to court as they no there apr is ridiclous and there contracts are not worth the paper there written on also fair enough we all took out these debts granted but if they were willing to help we wouldnt be refusing to pay there silly prices negotiate well and u can save yaself a fortune all these companies are insured and if they do pass it over to collection agent u have won casue they are easy to deal with and accept full and final settlements offers - some companies maybe not on first letter but if u chuck in sob story about how ure thinking or going bankrupt as its your only option or u are moving abroad for family reasons they bite your arm off as they think they will never see a penny little bit is more than none

Hi all, new to this site, but had to join as I am having a nightmare with txtloans. When I applied for one loan, after being 2 weeks away on holiday I rcvd emails stating I was overdue and owed 200 on one loan. Apparently I had requested 2 "parallel loans" without even knowing it, even tho my website screenshot only showed one and I had never heard of 2 Parallel Loans!! Has anyone here ever had 2 parallel loans going the same time with txt loan. They claimed it was for a valuable customer although they never informed me ever about such an offer. I have now today rcvd an email stating that there Parallel Loans offer has been withdrawn by the company, but I am adamant that this has only been used to throw me off the scent that they had messed up and I should have never had 2! It has caused loads of problems with txtloan not once ever offering a reason or reply. I want to find out if this is all one big lie by a horrible company or whether I am one of many who have had these parallel loans. Their website and terms and conditions dont say anything at all about it- HAVE I BEEN LIED TO FOR MONTHS BY A SQUIRMY LITTLE LOAN COMPANY??? PLEASE HELP

I understand the frustration of the original poster as it can be difficult sometimes to deal with loan providers in exceptional circumstances, although most will usually help out where a card has been stolen.

 

Some of the subsequent comments are also understandable to an extent, but it never ceases to surprise me how some people enter into certain credit arrangements, default on repayments and then claim that the charges are "unlawful".

 

I think TxtLoan offers a pretty clear service, for better or worse. If you take a £100 loan, you should be willing and able to repay the required amount back within 7 days (£110 isn't it?). It's a short-term or emergency loan. If there is a strong chance that you won't be able to pay the full amount in 7 days, you simply shouldn't take out the loan.

 

BTW Just because an APR is high does not mean that the charges are "unlawful" - many of the banks have already argued successfully in this respect, so be careful not to adopt such a view.

garysonjack, how have you been done over? By your own admission companies like txtloan have a reason to charge high APR as their lending is high risk. If you enter into an agreement knowing that you need to pay back the balance within a week or so, I'm not sure you can say that you've been done over just because you miss the repayments.

 

Unless something else happened to you?
