    • 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

    • 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 P1

 

I think I have to disagree on the client/debt owner point.

 

ARUK is acting 'on behalf of' Phoenix who will 'own' the debt - although the extent of that ownership will also be in question. The 'Deed of Assignment' will also be interesting (although I doubt anyone will get to see it)

oh boy, now i am getting more confused. :confused:

 

 

Nothing to be confused about. nothing has changed, send the SAR, send it recorded (registered if you can afford to do so) and then wait for their reply.

 

A Subject Access Request is a legal request for information, laid down in statute and isn't something they can argue about, they are obliged to fulfill this request.

 

When they fail to produce, complain loud.

 

Irate, some of the people posting on this thread have great experience of dealing with matters such as this, their input is invaluable.

 

However, nothing has changed, send off the SAR

Phoenix bought the debt and Aruk are the clowns they have chasing, yes.... but the original creditor will have no interest in it after an Absolute Assignment. That's the point I was trying to make....

 

The original credior is not the "client" because it's been sold. Also, the liklihood is, that Aruk are part of the same outfit anyway, which tends to be the case.

I agree with what spamheed has said.

 

Dont ack the debt until you have the complete breakdown of that debt and also full details of how the property was marketed/auctioned/sold.

 

Also was a court order obtained by the original lender for that amount?

 

you need full details of everything that would be relied on in court to pursue the debt.

 

They can not get monies out of you that you can not afford - so if that means going to court, then as stated they will have to produce all that documentation to prove the debt and ownership of the debt.

 

Is it true that at one point you did attempt to negotiate the debt as stated in their letter?

My confusions are that I do not understand all of the big words and comments, I am not ignorant but I just dont understand it. Basically I just dont know what to write back to them if anything.

 

Ok... take a breath.

 

Have a slow read of the thread I suggested. I went through a shortfall debt myself around 11 years ago now, so can appreciate what this must be doing to you.

I'm trying not to confuse things here BUT it would seem that because of the way Phoenix operates the assignments are only ever equitable - sort of changes things ;)

 

No-one on CAG has, as yet, had a single piece of paper from Phoenix ......

Claims are issued through solicitors like Bryan Carter so I think that says a lot about the way they litigate.

 

I realise that this aspect of it is *very* confusing to the OP

BUT it is soooo important - the SAR *must* go to Luxembourg that is the data controller as registered.

Within the thread I posted up, there are a number of letters which specify the information you need. There will have been heaps of unlawful charges added on to any alleged balance they're going after anyway... and once they know you're aware of this (among other things).... they should start to back down and tread a little more carefully around you.

 

Do not speak to them on the 'phone though.... it's a golden rule.

If anyone uses jargon, please feel free to question and clarify what is meant, nobody will judge or feel insulted, this is a complex business and we all had to start somewhere.

 

The people who are posting on here now were all in your shoes one way or another at some point.

Point taken.... but due to the timescales involved, I'd be very surprised if the original creditor still had any legal interest in this.

I'll shut up now ;)

 

All I am trying to say is that before you get involved with amounts owing and how it got the that. IMO you need to confirm who, if anyone, actually legally owns the debt now.

Irate, a lot of what is being posted is just fact finding.

 

Nothing has changed, you still need to send the Subject Access Request, the question is, to whom?

 

Sending it to a debt collector will do nothing (as you have already found) as they will have none of the documents you need. They are just the gophers employed to shake you up in the hope you will pay

 

Sending it to Luxembourg as has already been covered will no doubt be fruitless, but I agree that the SAR must go to Pheonix as they are allegedly the debts "owners" and as such the creditor

I sent the subject access request to aruk and they responded with letter 2 along with an income and expenditure form for me to fill in. I didnt return that.

The SAR must go to Phoenix as they allegedly "own" the debt. then when and if they default the complaint needs to be placed with the Information Commissioners Office asap.

 

If and when this does end up in a court you can then show that you tried to establish the validity of their status and they did nothing to co-operate.

Very true.... ;)

 

Irate, send the SAR to Phoenix by rec. delivery. Phoenix would need to legally own the debt before they could issue proceedings against you in their own name. If your original creditor still owned the debt, they would be the only ones who could take legal action against you.... so this info. will tell you who you need to deal with.

 

Once this has been established, we can then bosh the other muppets out of the picture... Still think Phoenix have bought it..... but we'll see ;)

I would be inclined to agree, the OC washed their hands of this when they assigned it.

I wouldn't make any comments about where you get your info. from... it's none of their business.

 

Have nothing further to do with Aruk now and if they contact you again (in writing) inform them at that point that a SAR has been sent to their "clients" :rolleyes: and that you will not be corresponding further until your legal request has been complied with.... by rec. delivery.

 

If they 'phone.... hang up.

Will I use the address gh has posted on here or will I send another letter to aruk asking for phoenix address.

 

Have no further contact with Aruk.... send to the address posted up on here. If Aruk contact you again (in writing), deal with them at that point.... as stated above.

 

We will help you.... don't worry.... but one step at a time.

The address I gave for them in my previous post was from the Information Commissioners Office

 

If you ask ARUK they will say send it to them as they are acting as 'agents'

 

you choose who to believe ......

 

--------

 

Background info for those who may be interested lol

 

I believe the assignments are only equitable as Phoenix, as a 'securitization vehicle' are not allowed to 'take risks' themselves, therefore every debt they 'securitize' as they don't actually buy them, they lend money to the original creditor who uses the debt as security for the loan. (like if you used shares as security at the bank for a loan - the bank has a 'charge over them but the absolute ownership doesn't pass to them)

 

When the securities (the piece of paper saying there is a debt to be repaid) are eventually proven to be 'worthless' Phoenix can chargeback to the OC. (again in the same way, if your bank - who lent you money aginst the shares - then finds out the shares are worthless they would call in the loan)

 

Ok, so they're only lending 5 or 10p per £ BUT when there are a million debts of £1k each ........
