    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.
    • paypal, but i would like to know if anyone knows if there is a certain time limit they have to refund you? thanks
    • Dear lookinforinfo, I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but what exactly am I telling them? -what code/ law / standard have they broken that I will use as an argument in letter? I don't understand the premise of your argument.  I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me clearly and in simple terms so that I understand.  Thank you

    • Agreed, let them default. Keep everything in writing, if they ring to discuss the accounts over the phone, simply say 'everything in writing please', and hang up. They'll soon get the message. Get all of your paperwork in order too, if you haven't got any, or are missing relevant documents, then you can SAR the original creditor, which is free and they have 30 days to supply the info. Keep a diary of events too. sit back and relax, YOU'RE in control, not them.

    • 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.

Cheers, Elpulpo.

I will have a think but I know that I really want my holiday pay & the amount that he underpaid me in Dec. Not sure if I can take the whole situation any further or not given that it is all so unfinished and messy. I want to though!

OK. What I'd do now is write to him and say he's had over 2 weeks since the supposed disciplinary hearing to give you a response, he has a responsibility to deal with the matter within a reasonable period of time, so you now consider the matter void.

Work out exactly what you are owed, itemise it all in the letter and give him 7 days. letter before action across the top.

(This time we mean it!;))

Then if ya don't get, we'll make the neccessary applications, either to ET or CC.

I have just found out that you only pay if you earn £95 or more.

I am working on my letter at the mo and I am a little confused. Due to not knowing if I was dismissed or not, I am unsure if I am entitled to demand my hol pay etc at the moment. If I was sacked then I should have got it in my Jan wage if not I won't be due it until the Feb wage which is my final pay.

I'd ask for settlement of everything ASAP. You've resigned from your job beacause of the treatment you've received, which continued and even escalated after you'd been signed off sick. State that you want to draw a line under everything straight away.

Below is a rough draft of my letter. Does it sound ok? Anything I should add or take out?

 

I would be grateful for any suggestions!

 

Dear *****

 

 

This letter is regarding the disciplinary hearing that was held in my absence on 22nd January 2010. I emailed you on 2nd February informing you that I had not yet received notification of the outcome of the hearing and requested that you provide me with this. You have a responsibility to deal with the matter in a reasonable period of time and have now had more than 2 weeks to provide me with a response but have failed to do so.

The disciplinary policy states that there should be no unreasonable delays in issuing the subsequent decisions and that all parties must be advised of any delays in the process. Given that you have breached this policy, I now consider the matter void.

I would also like to refer to your letter dated 20/01/10. I do not agree with the explanation that you have given in regards to my December pay as this does not correspond with the way in which my salary has been calculated previously.

The treatment that I received whilst at work resulted in my GP signing me off sick, the situation then escalated and worsened which then forced me to resign but even that did not reduce the harassment and for this reason I would like to draw a line under this situation as I feel that it has dragged on for far too long and it continues to have an adverse effect on my health. I have attached an itemised list of the monies due to myself and will expect to receive this in full within the next seven days.

 

 

Yours Sincerely

This is the list of what is owing to me. Does it sound ok?

 

Payment in Lieu of Holidays -

 

24.2 days for 2009/2010

5 days carried over from 2008/2009

 

 

Total = 29.2 days.

 

 

Underpayment in December salary

 

 

£40 owed for payment of 4 nights on call, I clearly stated that I did 14 nights but was paid only for 10.

 

 

Monthly salary for ***** - £****.**, I was only paid £***.**which leaves an underpayment of £***.**.

 

 

Given that I was responsible for confirming all work carried out so that you could process the payroll I am aware of the dates that the wages are calculated from and up until. The December payroll was for work carried out from November 23rd to December 20th.

Up until I received you letter dated 20/01/10 I was unaware that I was only entitled to statutory sick pay as I have never been made aware of this previously.

Having looked back at all of my wage slips from my time as ***** my basic salary has never been less than £****.**regardless of any sick time.

 

 

Total amount owing due to underpayment in December = £606.77

 

You also refused to refund the deposit I paid for uniforms (£15) and a jacket (£10). I paid this on commencing employment. This was paid in cash and has always been returned in cash to staff upon return of the above items. This should not be taxed as it is not classed as earnings.

Total deposit refund - £25.00

 

I will expect to receive the full amount owing to me within the next seven days otherwise I will be left with no alternative but to take further action.

I have some news! A letter will soon be with me informing me of my dismissal. This letter was written by the MD but will be signed by the person who was supposed to be chairing the hearing,.

I have proof in black & white that it is from the MD and he has asked the other person to sign it and send it to me. Will this help me any?
