      Eviction Time Again - Twice In 7 Months

      By stu007 · Posted

      Hi With the Section 21 Notice I do hope the Landlord issued you with: Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for the Property How to Rent Guide A current Gas Safety Certificate (if gas in the Property) If above have not been provided to the Tenant by the Landlord then they can't use a Section 21 Notice until the above have been provided (note you don't warn the Landlord of this until but put it in your defence) Have a good read of this link: Evicting tenants in England: Section 21 and Section 8 notices - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Information for landlords in England on tenant eviction: assured shorthold tenancies, including eviction notices, Section 21, Section 8, accelerated possession, possession orders, bailiffs

      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By dx100uk · Posted

      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

      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By Easywayout · Posted

      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,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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,

 

I hope I've posted this in an appropriate place, and I hope you can help.

 

Long story short, I sold quite a large item on ebay, a couple of months ago, which, as part of their fees for using them, meant I owed them £56.

 

I lost my dad around this time, and as anyone who knows when they lose a close loved one, it was bedlam for for a while. I went away as things were calming down and just had to get away from it.

 

Upon my return, I came back to a dozen emails from ebay saying my account was well overdue. I immediately paid it, and bought it back into line.

 

Since then, I've started getting chased by Iqor. I've not yet had a conversation with them, everytime I see their number, I send a busy tone, but I've heard some horrendous things about them, and in the event they do things properly and actually write to me, I'd like to be ready for them.

 

I've heard of in such instances, Iqor want to charge a fee on top of what the actual debt is. Is this legal? As I mention, the debt is now cleared, yet Iqor are chasing me. I can only assume its for their cut, because I no longer owe ebay, or anyone else for that matter, anything.

 

What would be the best way to play this when they next attempt contact?

 

Many thanks for any help or advice.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Ignore Iqor, and get in touch with E-bay, and tell them to get their appointed collection agency, to back off immediately. Ask them for their complaints procedure, and make a formal complaint to them, the OFT, & Trading Standards Via consumer direct.

 

If Iqor still chase you after you have told them (ebay) to call them off then look at letting BBC Watchdog know aswell.

 

Contact us - The Office of Fair Trading

 

Consumer Direct

 

Ignore any notion that you are liable to pay any fees to Iqor, they are deluded and incorrect in their assumptions that you will have to pay any of their fees. Chancers:-x

 

If you still get aggro come back and get further advice.

 

Have a Peaceful X-Mas,

 

Boo;)

I would not advise this they are DCA aka **** it will achieve nothing as they will not listen and still claim it is owed.

 

It is after all £56 they will not put too much effort into recovering such a small amount, its not worth there while.

 

One of several things WILL happen.

 

They will send a couple of scary letters then give up.

 

Ebay will inform IQ (Size of sloth) that client has paid, unlikley but miricles happen.

 

Best advice is Report them AND Send a letter to them demanding they explain themselves.

 

or simply ignore but NEVER EVER ring them

 

Merry Christmas

We live in an unmoderated country why should the net be any different?

Ringing Iqor, or any other DCA for that matter, will be as much use as indicators on a submarine.

 

They work on commission and will not entertain anything other than, debit or credit card details, because that is all they have on their scripts in front of them.

 

There is no reference to anything other than, empty threats of bailiffs, bankruptcy, or the taking of doorsteps.

 

Most of these telephone Jockeys have no form of qualifications or training other than flipping burgers at McDonalds and asking if you want fries with that.

 

The next thing they know their in charge of a desk with a telephone and a Computer screen, with a flip chart outlining questions they should ask and what page they should flip too next, in response to whatever answer they get.

 

They don't understand explanations, that does not compute with their flip charts, plus it won't pay them the commission. Your better off, dealing with adults, not some tin pot DCA who doesn't know left from right..

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!

Hi,

 

Do you still need your Ebay account? If not, ignore Iqor and do not contact Ebay or log into your account (which is prob suspended anyway).

 

I refused to pay their astronomical fee's for an item I sold, got an email every month for about six months, one letter from Iqor, ignored them and they haven't contacted me in over a year.

 

Iqor had added a £10.00 fee also.

 

Hope this helps

My experience so far of speaking to IQOR, is a realisation that if I'd read this forum 1st, I'd be in a lot better position now.

 

I should never have discussed issues with them on the phone. Despite their inappropriately timed calls, their demeanor on the phone was initially polite and helpful.

 

Since then it has become more rude, arrogant & aggressive to the point that they put the phone down on myself & my wife.

 

This relates to eBay insertion fees that I dispute in the 1st place, but eBay have never been able to resolve, eventually passing it on to IQOR who have now added proportionate ?? fees to an amount I don't owe.

I would never advocate debt avoidance that is not the purpose of CAG a view shared by the moderators.

 

Howeve,facing a debt less than £100 and IQOR are involved, I would...

A NEVER RING THEM

B NEVER PAY THEM. I MEAN HELL WHAT CAN THEY REALLY DO. THATS RIGHT NOTHING.
