    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Can you tell us more about what happened please? Who stopped you and which shop? Best, HB
    • You don't mention what the debts are, which is important, as it really depends on the details in deciding best course of action. So list types of debt e.g credit card, type of loan, utility bill; current owner bank or dca; approximate amount for each debt.  And do you own any property assets. There is no blanket advice regarding all types of debts. Whoever you contact regarding debt advice would want to know all of the information. The debt buying businesses deal with multi billions worth of debts. They can't issue Court claims for most debts as the cost of pursuing would be ruinous and don't have staff resources. Instead they rely on credit records being impacted and therefore people need to resolve the debts. And they rely on anxious debtors paying amounts after receiving threatening communications. If you know you are likely to be made redundant, start looking for other employment soon. Due to longer recruitment processes being followed by employers, it can take about 3 months between applying and starting a new job.
    • Hi I was caught shoplifting 4 items £20 worth, I’m petrified the Police will come to my house now please can you help. What can I do I worried about my job. 
    • I heard nothing more from J&P but have now had an email from the bank saying they have instructed IDR to act on their behalf?  so are they just passing it back? Selling it on again? I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing 
    • I posted a couple of years ago about our debt situation and have been trying to pay off our debt as best we can. It is a possibility I maybe made redundant in a few months time, so I am trying to find out everything I can about what happens in today’s world when you can’t pay. I keep finding conflicting advice on various sites so I wanted to post this quote to get thoughts. It claims basically that the dca will likely get enforceable documents these days and therefore it’s likely you will have to pay dca at some point during the 6 year process.    on here I read a lot of comments assuming the exact opposite of this. A lot of the threads on here state the beginning of the process but I never see conclusive stuff about what happened from start to finish to get insight into whether debts post 2015 have been enforced etc. I hear a lot here not to pay dca companies but most my debts are post 2015 debts I am all up to date on our debts but if I lose my job it is likely I’ll end up where I tried to avoid in the first place. Which is destroying our files and dealing with DCA. I’ll post it below so you can see what I mean.   It is likely that any debts incurred after 2007 will end up with all the documentation being provided and being enforceable. Therefore you should use the time while awaiting responses going through your Income & Expenditure and considering any possiblity of making a full and final settlement. It can take a number of months to reach the stage of a hearing date and exchange of witness statements and normally you would be able to settle or come to an arrangement to pay before the court hearing, once documents have been provided, although this isn’t guaranteed.

    • 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 came across this post on Google as I was trying to find out who these people were. I have a similar case with them. However I didn't realise I had options - I had a £1000 balance of which only £200 was an interest free overdraft and the rest was bank charges. It was an online account that I had never accessed to view as I lost my job just after I opened it. :confused:

 

I've copied part of the letter into one they've just sent me as I feel it is relevant as I told them I was disputing it from the start but did not realise any of the above.

 

I'm not sure whether to carry on trying to pay the rest of the amount as they now say they won't accept instalments but I can't pay it in full as I'm disabled and sefl employed. Plus their letter was dated 21/12/2009 giving me 7 days to pay in full yet only arrived 31/12/2009???

 

Help... :confused:

These are A&L's in-house bunch.... part of the same outfit.

 

I had dealings with them a long, long time ago. A&L have more than one set of in-house debt collectors. The other one I know if is Global Debt Recovery Management Services Limited; not to be confused with the other Global Debt Recovery company, who are not in-house....

Thanks for the info... would they pass it off to someone else then or take it through to court proceedings themselves? They haven't been very helpful at all... in fact neither have the bank so hardly suprising they didn't want to hold the account due to me disupting the charges if they're the same people.

 

Maybe it's with it being such a small debt - an external company might not want it?

 

I've paid the overdraft off and over £100 off the charges but that hasn't even touched half of the balance they're wanting. It's a lot of money when you're not in employment. :(

If the balance is all charges, then you need to have these wiped out. You can either itemise all the charges yourself if you still have the statements or send a SAR to A&L for all transactional info. on the account (by rec. delivery) The cost of this is £10... and there is a template on the site that you can use.

 

If you've (so far) "disputed" this over the 'phone, you've wasted your time... everything needs to be in writing only and sent by rec. delivery.

 

They may flog it out to an outfit like Moorcroft in the meantime... but if it's all charges, they'll be on a road to nowhere with it providing you follow the advice on here.

Thanks for the advice... that's fantastic.

 

It is all charges... I have never had a statement and they never kept me up to date of what charges they were putting on there as it was an internet account. If they told me sooner I could have done more about it.

 

I didn't even realise the balance until they passed it off to the debt team as I've never logged in to use the online service!!! So it was quite a shock.

 

I'll carry on through with the claims and SAR tomorrow and see if I can get the rest written off. :)

 

Thanks again for your help!!! And Happy New Year!!! :D
