    • 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.

    • 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.

From post on my old thread

 

hi all

 

ive been asked to drop in

first this is a regulated agreement

 

i need you to confirm this

 

your monthly payments are £303.58

 

 

the interest will be £30,590.54

 

not £30257.46

 

now add acceptance fee £ 235 gives a total of £30825.54

stay with me on this

 

so the amount of credit will be £20411.10

interest will be £ 30590.54

 

thats a total of £51001.64

 

now add acceptance fee and interest to give the total charge for credit

£ 30825.54 not £30492.46

 

so the total payable to welcome will be £51236.64 not £51001.64

 

thats £235

they have added acceptance fee back into the agreement

 

now devide £51236.64 by 168 months gives a total of £304.98

 

_____________________________________________________________

 

its a legal contract with the rights that go with it

 

its for the protection of the borrower as well as the creditor

 

apr is mistated

they can not send out another ammended agreement without the agreement of the debtor

 

the interest on acceptance fee is wilson v fct

 

only applies if the acceptance fee has been included in the amount of credit

 

the agreement is unenforceable

 

the apr stated is incorect being a prescribed term

the biz on the calculations is no more than creative accounting to extend the loan when the borrower thinks has been compleated

 

seen it to often

 

makes a change for no mortage indemnity fee on a secured loan below 25 k

 

thats another con (creative accounting)

 

 

Agreement was signed on 18 Feb 08

 

Regards

This would be edited for Scotland.

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Account Ref xxxx

 

Please be advised that I will only communicate with you in writing. I have noted your repeated attempts to contact me by telephone over the past few weeks/months and these have been duly logged by time and date.

 

Furthermore, should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make such an appointment with you.

 

 

There is only an implied license under Scots Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc. Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives, to visit me at my property and if you attempt to send such a collector to my home, you will also be reported for harassment and I shall seek damages for a delict of trespass. You would also be liable for conspiring in a delict of trespass by acting in defiance of my instructions and sending someone to visit me nevertheless. Should it be necessary, I will obtain an interdict from the Court to prevent you carrying out your threat.

 

Yours faithfully,

hav a little read of this:

 

Cancellation right

 

The Regulations give consumers the right to withdraw from financial services contracts entered into through distance selling.

If specified conditions are fulfilled the consumer has the right to cancel the contract within the cancellation period. This terminates the contract from the notice of termination being given.

 

Cancellation period

 

The cancellation period begins on the date of the conclusion of the contract and ends 14 days from that date. As discussed above the contract is concluded at the point at which the copy of the prior information is sent on paper or other durable medium, hence the commercial interest in sending the information as soon as possible.

In life insurance contracts the cancellation period runs from the date the consumer is informed that the contract has been concluded. The cancellation period in life insurance or personal pension contracts runs for 30 days instead of 14 days.

 

Method of cancellation

 

A cancellation notice is to be treated as properly given to the supplier where the consumer delivers, posts, faxes or e-mails it to the supplier. The consumer may also send the notice to an website which the supplier has indicated to the consumer may be used for that purpose.

Where the supplier has indicated to the consumer that cancellation notice may be given over the telephone this is also an acceptable method. However, it is worth noting that in a recent review of the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (which do not apply to financial services, but contain largely similar provisions) the DTI concluded that suppliers should not be required to accept cancellation notices by telephone, because of the evidential problems for smaller suppliers. It is likely that the financial services Regulations would follow this route if the same issue was raised.

 

Exceptions to right to cancel

 

There are certain circumstances where it is unreasonable to allow a consumer a right to cancel a distance contract. For example, in a contract for travel insurance a consumer could take out travel insurance, go on a week's holiday and return to cancel the insurance. This is clearly unfair.

Therefore a consumer has no right to cancel a distance contract:

 which relates to a financial service where the price depends on fluctuations in the financial markets which are out-with the control of the supplier; or

 which has been fully completed by both parties at the consumer's express request before the consumer gives notice of cancellation.

These are the main exceptions but there are other specific contracts that a consumer has no right to cancel, and it is always worth exploring to check whether specific products are excluded.

Had a VERY close look at the contract and it says this:

 

On the contract itself (page 1) under Key Information, below the charges table:

 

"You have no right to cancel this agreement under the Consumer credit Act 1974, the Timeshare Act 1992 or the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulation 2004."

 

But in the other column still on Page 1, in the 3rd box up, and on page 2 second column 3rd box up it states:

 

"Under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you should have been given a copy of this agreement at least seven days ago so you could consider whether you wanted to go ahead. If the creditor did not give you a copy of this agreement he can only enforce it with a court order."

 

We signed the contract at their offices and we were given seven days to cancel. After the seven days we were given the cheque but I would have to check with the bank as to when we put the cheque in.

 

Regardless, the contract says 7 days but doesn't the law state 14, as your last post?:confused:

 

What do you think?

 

Lawrence
