    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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 Faded-Rose, just popped in to give you some support.

Ell-enn is the best! (you too Jansus)

I can't give the sort of advise that they do, but if you want any moral support let me know. I've BTDT and it's a very difficult time leading up to the hearing, even knowing that the outcome should be favourable- it's hard to deal with.

Hi Nunnyrose

 

Thank you so much for this. Ell-enn and Jansus have been superb. Really feel supported. Posted everything off now so out of our hands until next week. It feels that everything in between now and then will be affected but trying to stay positive. Will be pleased when the day comes and we have a decision.

 

How lovely of you to post this. A superb site and so lucky to find it.

Hi Ell-enn, Jansus and Nunnyrose

 

The Form N11M plus enc was delivered to the Court on the 2nd Dec and I have a printed off 'receipt'.

 

I have typed a brief note based upon corrections to the Witness Statement they have sent a copy of - hoping I can just give the Judge and them a copy to read rather than read it myself!

 

This time tomorrow it'll all be over.

 

A big thank you again for the assistance, advice and support shown. Really grateful.

Hi Faded Rose, stay positive - you will be OK.

 

If you haven't been to a court hearing before, here a few tips to help you:

 

You should arrive at the court in plenty of time (allow for finding parking etc). When you get there, ask the court usher if there are any free legal reps there (a lot of courts have them) - if so, approach them and ask for their advice, they can accompany you into the hearing and speak for you.

 

Sometimes the lender's legal rep will ask to speak to you, if at any time you feel intimidated or uneasy, just tell them that you would rather wait for the judge to decide.

 

The hearing will be held in a private room with just the judge, the lender's rep and yourself. It will be conducted around a table, like a meeting and the public are not allowed in. It is much more informal than you'd imagine.

 

As this is the lender's application, the judge will speak to them first and then you. Judges are usually very good at recognising when you are nervous and will guide you. When you speak to the judge you should address as Sir or Madam, explain that you are very nervous and ask if you may hand over your notes. If you have the benefit of the free legal rep then they will speak for you.

 

The whole process should take no more than 10 minutes and I'm sure you will feel very relieved when you leave the court knowing your home is safe.

 

Good luck, I will be thinking of you :)

 

Ellx

With you all the way Faded Rose, not an easy day tomorrow but as Ell-enn says, stay calm and positive - I was so nervous I could hardly speak, but the judge did recognise this and did all he could to help us.

This time tomorrow you'll be sitting back with a big glass of wine,- I'll probably join you :)

Hi Ell-enn, Jansus, Nunnyrose and CitizenB

 

Wasn't able to log on yesterday due to broadband probs (again!). The outcome of the Hearing was a suspended repo (as requested by the lender). So very happy with that. It was a strange experience - 2 mins and we were out. Judge wouldn't let us speak, nor give typed notes and the 'locallish' person representing the legal firm was quite unpleasant but over now.......

 

A really BIG thank you for everything. We will donate and I will keep being a cagger-not because I can offer any advice but hopefully I can give others the support I have had the benefit of.

 

Faded-rose :) :)

 

PS Did manage a rather large glass of wine last night!

Great news :)

It's not a nice experience, but as you say, it's over now.

I found the day after our hearing, not only were we more relaxed, but the whole house seemed to have relaxed if that makes sense. It was a very strange, but calming feeling. It took me a few days to shake off a fuzzy sort of feeling. I suppose it's a bit like the build up to christmas in reverse - you don't look forward to the big day, but the after effects are fantastic!
