    • Looks promising then.  Well done   Dx
    • So a little update.  I sent a complaint to ico and have heard nothing. I just got the general reply email and that's it.  Sat twiddling my thumbs and thought about what I should do next. I searched for the CEO of Studio but then found that he'd left so as keep getting letters from studio about the arrears etc. I thought I'd email the David Twigg. Sent him all the bumpft and a copy of my original complaint and sars request.  Got no response. So didn't know what else to do. Then I thought I'd try through the financial difficulties option on the online form. One last try before I just give up and let them default me.  Then on the 5th June. I got an email from their customer services. That the items that had gone AWOL have all been cancelled. Nothing else on that email, so I had a look in an email account that I don't use anymore and there was an email from the customer service.  That they were sorry for the problems I've had for the last 9 months. That the sars info was emailed to me on 14/04, it wasn't I've kept all spam and deleted emails on that account, they have raised a complaint with their studio pay team regarding the issues, balance dispute, fee's and my credit file. They are hoping to resolve in 3 days but they have upto 56. They also said in regards to my other issues I have to raise a complaint with studio retail but haven't told me how I do that.  The sars info only goes upto the end of December 2023. It has my previous complaints on there but nothing after so I don't know how I get hold of that information. Luckily I've kept copies of every time I've contacted them. Every web chat or social media contact.  Apologies for the extremely long post but I wanted to add everything I could just incase.  I have checked my account balance and it's still minus 900 odd pounds but I'll keep checking to see if it's all cleared and on my credit file.  I'm hoping this is the end of the whole debacle and they close my account because I never want to do this again. Although it's been a learning experience.  Thanks to dx100uk for pointing me in the right direction. Much appreciated.

    • 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.

Does it matter then whether they have the original or just a scanned copy? I thought it wouldn't make any difference as its still a copy of the original showing my signiture etc.

The difference would be, if this went to court, the creditor should have the original credit agreement. However, as it is not a reconstruction but a copy of the original document, a judge may decide to accept the copy document. It would be down to the judge on the day.

 

But BC rarely take their cases to court ............ 8-)

Hi all. BC have been rather quiet lately so been concentrating on my MBNA who have decided to take me to court. However I recieved a letter today from Debt Managers Ltd demanding the full amount and that interest will be charged at 1% a month. Do I reply with the same thing i've keep sending BC stating the amount I can afford each month? I still have my SAR to do as money has been very tight lately but will get it done asap do I now send it to Dept Managers Ltd of still to BC.

Hi Gem,

 

I assume the letter from Debt Managers is for the BC a/c, but please confirm.

 

Ignore DM and send the SAR to BC as soon as you can if you think there may be penalty charges you can reclaim on the BC a/c. If you delay doing this, you will lose out on a/c data that is older than 6 years.

Hi Slick, Yes, sorry the letter from debt managers was for my BC account. I have a few charges on there from the last 6 months but I also have PPI that I took out when I applied for the card even though I stated I was self employed. This goes back to 1999 though. gona send the SAR as soon as hubby gets paid.

If you stated on the application form that you were self employed, this should certainly help in reclaiming the PPI plus compound interest at BC's contractual rate.

 

The £10 SAR fee could prove to be £10 invested very wisely.

 

Disputing the PPI, once you get the SAR data, will put the a/c into formal dispute and any DCA will have to back off.

Hi all Recieved another letter today from Debt managers LTD. Reads as follows:

 

NOTICE OF LEGAL ACTION

 

Your failure to respond to previous letters has resulted in your account being passed to this department for court action and our solicitors may prepare the court papers within 7 days. If you wish to avoid legal action you must now pay in full today using the attached giro or you can phone and pay by debit or credit card or alternatively you must immediately telephone our legal manager on 0844 225 3047.

 

Supervisor

Court Department

 

Should I be worried about this. I am sending the SAR today 1st class recorded. What should I reply to DM?

I am getting so stressed out with all this now it is really getting me down.:sad:

Hi Gem,

 

Good to see you're sending off the SAR.

 

You can now reply to DM Ltd saying you have sent a SAR to BC because of a potential dispute over charges (you don't need to tell them any more than that). Accordingly, they should hold off any further collection activity pending resolution of the dispute.

 

This is just one of their usual letters and is very unlikely to lead to the court action threatened.

Hi Slick. Yep sent off today 1st class recorded. Ok so I will send a letter to DM tomorrow.

I am a Little jittery as people were saying that MBNA were just threatening then court papers fell through the door :shock: and the BC acount is double what the MBNA is. Lets just hope there are more charges than I relise and lots of PPI that might reduce it by quite alot :wink:.

Thank you for all your help. My head is just buzzing at the moment trying to fight off all these vultures!:!:

Hi Gem,

Hang on in there.

Hang in there. I am in the same boat, worry about what the postie is going to bring everyday. I always feel better after coming on here, and believe me some of the things DCA write can have you spitting feathers.

 

At least you are not just burying your head in the sand and you are taking measures to sort this out.

 

We are all here to help
