    • 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, im new here and this is my first post.

 

I was hopeing someone can help and provide some adivce on the below.

 

I made my first order on LXdirect 15/04/06 which was for a Ornamental plate.

 

The order is as follows which was received by email as confirmation.

Qty Item Expected Delivery Price Discount DiscountCode 1

with love set MF370A5 Estimated delivery by Tue 2nd May £ 18.99 £ -1.90 XX172

 

Order Discount ZG562 £ -15.00

Sub Total

£ 18.99

Total Discount

£ -16.90

Delivery

£ 3.50

Total Including Delivery

£ 5.59

 

There it clearly states that the total is £5.59 after discount. They took a total of £20.59 from my bank account making me £6.29 overdrawn which meant I had a £25.00 bank charge thanks to them. I emailed them 18/04/2006 stating that they have overcharged me and have now made me overdrawn and that i require a refund.

 

27/04/2006 I emailed them again asking them to cancel my order and to give me a total refund as I still had not received any refund and the delivery date given is too long (18 days after order placed which website showed stock). I did receive a refund on this day after my email for £15.00 which was for what they overcharged me. I was now left with an outstanding refund of £5.59 plus £25 bank charges.

 

I got this reply 27/04/2006

 

Dear Mr *********,

 

Thank you for your e-mail requesting the cancellation of your order.

 

Unfortunately on this occasion we have been unable to stop your order in

time to prevent it from being despatched.

When the order is delivered to you please either refuse delivery or

contact a member of our Online Care Team 08705 896611 to arrange a

convenient date for collection.

Please remember that all unwanted goods must be returned to us within 14

days of receipt.

 

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused.

 

Kind regards,

 

LXdirect Customer Care.

 

I waited until it wass delivered to refuse delivery but the 02/05/06 came and nothing was delivered. I emailed them again stating that I would refuse delivery if there was something to refuse and got this reply on 11/05/06.

 

Dear Mr ***********.

 

Thank you for your e-mail regarding delivery.

 

On checking MF370 is due for delivery today.

 

We look forward to seeing you on line soon!

 

Kind regards,

LXdirect Customer Care.

 

I emailed them again on 19/04/2006 stating that they have not refunded me and to tell them to stop telling me its out for delivery as its now 24 days since i ordered it and is way passed the specified delivery date.

 

On this same day they slipped up and refunded me the sub of £17.09 followed by the sum of £3.50 and again with the sum of £17.09 totalling £37.68. Taking my £5.59 off this meant that they refunded me £32.09 too much not taking account the £25 bank charges they owe me.

 

So as it stands I now owe them £32.09 and they owe me £25.00.

 

I received an invoice from them on 15/07/2006 a invoice demanding £32.80 which includes 71p interest by 07/08/2006. I decided to pay it get it over with and then try and get my bank charges back after. So I paid the balance I owe them plus their interest on 04/08/2006.

 

I got this confirmation email back on 04/08/2006

 

Dear MR *********,

Thank you for your payment of £32.80p.

This amount is currently being processed through our systems.Subject to clearance this will be credited to your account and shown on your next or following statement.

I was shocked when I received another invoice on 12/08/2006 demanding the original £32.09 plus 71p interest which now includes a £10 admin charge and another 72p interest totalling £43.52.

 

So for some reason they have had problems with their billing software again as they didn’t actually take my money. So now they want me to pay more interest on the money they gave me in error plus a £10 admin fee for their error. Yet there is still no mention of repaying my bank charges or paying any interest on that either.

 

I am outraged and here to ask advice on what to do as this is clearly wrong. I have tried to order an item which they overcharged me, didn’t deliver and refund me too much and demanding more money when I tried to give them it back and screw me over with bank charges and their admin charge plus interest.

 

I have emailed them requesting the address as to where to write a complaint as they won’t the £43.52 by 02/09/2006. I have emailed them twice and not received a reply. Has anyone got any details as where im to write to and as to what I should put in my letter.

 

Our Customer Charter is our pledge to you the customer. It contains our promise for safe and honest shopping.

 

That is not that case since i have lost out on £37+ so far for making the mistake of trying your e-shop.

 

Thank you for any help in advanced guys and gals.

 

Regards

 

Mike

Actually write to them on paper, concisely putting everything in chronological order with all monies given and received. Give them 14 days to have the account brought up to date giving an accurate representation of its state and a refund for expenses due to their error or you will proceed with legal action.

Like some many of these cat companies they are a shambles & no one actualy reads your messages. If they do having only 2 brain cells amongst them they try not to deal with your query correctly & just press a coupl of buttons to send you another template letter.

Hi mikeuk2004

 

I too have dispute with Littlewoods.

 

Becuase of my problems with the banks my cheque to pay them was returned and they charged me £15.00. I had a phone call from their financial services and explained that whilst I was changing my bank account they would have to wait a little while but i would pay the balance in full to close the account. This amounted to £65.84. I also asked them to waive the £15 late payment fee, as I was not in control of the time factor. As soon as my parachute account was set up I sent them a cheque for the full amount which was duly paid. They sent me a monthly statement which said I still owed the balance plus two late payment charges plus £5 letter fee. This took my balance to over £100. I had already sent the balance so obviously there was a crossed in the post situation. I am waiting for my next statement which will probable say I owe them for the late payment charges and the administration fee. This they will have to sue me for, as I will refuse to pay. After having explained why their payment had not been made and then in good faith paying off the account they still want to claw another £35 from me. I call that greedy. They won't get it. I shall expect a breakdown of the £15 and what justifies this charge (twice).

 

 

Any thoughts??

I paid the £43 odd pound as im just writting my letter now. I paid it so there are no more charges while i get my complaint in as I dont what them to add this to any debt recover thingys and effect my credit score.

 

Anyway I paid it and I have just looked on my account and it says I owe 35p interest.

 

What for??? there is nothing on the account. How can they now be charging me 35p a month interest on a £0.00 account???

 

What is going on.

Ignoring the spam post above, do as Blacksheep states and write in. They have committed several breaches of the distance selling regs. Do not fall into the trap of keeping their money as payment for your own losses - they are different things (although if a modicum of common sense existed this would be ideal).
