    • I have received an email from town and country on behalf of everday loans. I assume I don’t reply to the email?   Any advice appreciated 
    • Hello, my name is Chris and aswell as saying hello, am checking my posts pop out nicely.  I have  an ongoing problem with British Gas(which shouldn't have become a problem at all), which has cannonballed into recently involving the Energy Ombudsman, Ofgem and I even, hasten to add our government because I am at wit's end. I have a couple of questions. What I write is likely to be mammoth size, I really would like to indicate why I am at wit's end, and as far as I am concerned (conjecture and opinion) it's an indication of the inadequacy of our country's system that since and including John Major has been deliberately brought in to be such. Anyway hello and my 2 questions are 'Can I post photos and if so how, are there any instructions?'  and secondly,  'To what extent can I mention names in what I post, first names only, second names? only, both allowed where known? quoting or gist acceptable, do I need to even though its case and should be anyway, state it's a truthful and honest account?'  It's been ongoing for over a year now on something which I am guessing should get sorted in maybe a month for most people, and I would actually like to go into fuller details than I've even said to them because I feel its important you know that I HAVE been significantly hindered and am living under that still as I speak/type. 
    • Well, Have we all got our piccy id ready to start taking out the Tories err Trash in the locals?
    • Thank you, I’m wary about calling ask know bullying tactics wilL start. I’m happy to write to them.  I will see what happens when we visit the garage. 
    • Hi DX, Glad to see you’re still around 😊 The keeper and driver have had no contact with any company regarding this.    Seeing as this is the second DCA involved, wouldn’t it open a can of worms by getting in touch with them?

    • 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 Blondie

 

Good of Wonga as usual. Last time I looked courts decided what was a crime and not them.

 

I am assuming your card has been cancelled and your funds are safe. PDUK & WDA are easy to deal with, just make a small/affordable monthly payment offer subject to them freezing all interests and charges.

 

Wonga are more difficult and they eventually farm out to all sorts of dca's. They do on occasions reach agreement on a monthly figure. Yet to see a Wonga debt in court and not such a bad thing if they tried it.

 

I must admit to knowinh nothing about 24/7 but assume the same rules apply.

 

Good luck, don't let them bully you

 

if they can't access your cash they will have to negotiate.

Hi blondie

 

Good progress:) 24/7 basically don't get paid until they agree to a reasonable payment plan. Keep a copy of all your correspondence.

 

You invariably have to play the long game with wonga- lots of tales on this forum

Keep going

Hi Blondie

 

I would just e-mail them rather than send letters. Just be firm with your offer. Explain you can afford no more and that other creditors have accepted your offers.

 

Difficult to stop them phoning in the short term as by the time you complain etc the damage/embarrassment has already been caused. There is a telephone harrassment letter in the template library if you want to try this.

 

I generally answer the phone to them and arrange to call them back a few minutes later in private.
