    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be 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.

Well, it's been a while and no contact from Moorcroft but just had a nice call from 'Apex'!

 

Wouldn't confirm any of their security details, told them to contact me only in writing and never call me again.

Well, I got this yesterday (Monday 13th), how they managed that is a mystery as I only told them at 15:20 on Saturday 11th to only contact me in writing?

 

Anyway, any idea what's going on here?

 

Have Moorcroft passed this on or did they give up and send it back to Lloyd's?

 

I sent the account in dispute letter to Moorcroft on 10/09/10 and they responded on 13/10/10 returning my £1 fee as they could not obtain a CCA.

 

As always any help greatly appreciated.

It seems that Moorcroft have either passed it back to Lloyds and they have farmed it off to Apex OR Moordroft were collecting on behalf of Lloyds and just passed it direct to Apex. Either way, I think this letter should wing its way to Apex

Thanks silverfox,

 

Letter compiled and ready to whiz off tomorrow.

 

BTW they called again tonight at 19:15!

 

Quote "You called me on Saturday and I told you to only contact me in writing. I now consider this harassment and if you call me again I will report you to OFCOM & the OFT, goodnight", click.

That's a ridiculous and grammatically naf letter!!!

 

First they refer to "Our client Lloyds TSB" then go on to say "we profile our clients' accounts carefully using external data sources and believe you have the ability to pay"

 

So reading it literally..based on Lloyds TSB's profits, YOU can afford to pay?

:lol:

 

Daft beggars.

Send the letter!

Sorry, maybe I need to start a new thread on this but I need further advice related to this on-going dispute.

I have been left a modest sum in a will that I have paid into my current account (via a cheque and I have an overdraft of £2000), this is the same account from where the DD payments for this loan came out of. I am quite happy to continue with the overdraft arrangement.

The internet banking site used to show up the loan on my list of accounts, it no longer does. I presume this is because they have wiped their hands of it and passed it on to DCA's?

The cheque will clear tomorrow and will put me in the black for the first time in years!

I have always had funds in the account to cover monthly interest and account charges but is there any chance Lloyds could cancel my overdraft and swallow this up to either pay back some of the loan or just cancel the overdraft?

TIA,

TC

Didn't have the option, I thought I had a 'parachute' account but (at the cashpoint anyway) anything I tried to do came up with same msg 'cannot process at this time'. Since opening it about 18 months ago have never used it. (Different bank).

 

Seriously considering going into branch tomorrow and withdrawing the lot in cash...

Update:

 

Followed your advice and withdrew my cleared cheque on Xmas eve, phew!

 

I've now received the attached from the original debtor, namely LloydsTSB (after sending the account in SERIOUS dispute letter to Apex).

 

What course of action now? CCA Apex???

 

As always, many thanks in advance...

Quoted wrong letter sent to Apex

Hi TC,

No need to CCA Apex, your original CCA still remains unfulfilled and the account remains in dispute.

That's just another computer generated letter informing you of Apex's involvement. No response required.

 

They know they can't enforce this debt, all they can, and often will, do is keep sending you various templated letters hoping to prompt/bore/shame/worry/terrify (*delete where appropriate) you into coughing up. :-)

 

They'll probably get to the end of their letter list soon, and unless they can find a grown up to write them a new one, it will then go quiet for a while. They might eventually pass it on to another debt collector with a new letter set they got for Christmas...you just need to send them the "don't be silly" letter every now and then or send them to the naughty step...

Hi all

just a timely reminder to all CAGGERS.

 

BIG BIG LETTERS

 

NEVER EVER EVER SET UP A DIRECT DEBIT WITH A DCA (or anybody else for that matter).

 

If you MUST pay a DCA something monthly set up a STANDING ORDER. This protects you as ONLY the amount specified on the standing order will be paid.

 

DIRECT DEBITS ARE ESSENTIALLY EVIL since these can be altered at will -- some DCA's have been known to empty peoples Bank accounts even when the Direct Debit was made for 1 GBP a month.

 

Again repeat NEVER EVER SET UP DIRECT DEBITS WITH A DCA.

 

even if there is the "direct debit protection / guarantee scheme" in operation it's a lot harder to do anything with ZERO money in your Bank account -- it takes often as much as a MONTH to get your money back and it's not always possible either.

 

If you've made one of these arrangements CANCEL IT QUICK and immediately open a "Parachute" account in another Bank -- The CO-OP and TESCO both do basic current accounts with a hole in the wall card and no credit reference check.

 

Cheers

jimbo

What I find odd is that I've never heard from Lloyds since it was passed to DCAs. (Didn't get anything similar when Moorcr@p were dealing).

 

What I thought happened was:

 

Apex: Errrr, Dear Mr Lloydstsb. You've sold us this debt but nasty TC has sent us a letter saying the account is in dispute, (whatever that means)? What do we do?

 

Lloyds: Dear Mr Apex, Don't worry we'll just send him a letter to let him know you're dealing with it now... As for the 'account in dispute' thing, no idea what that means either!

Dear Forum,

I'm after a bit of advice in advance if you can help?

To cut a long a long story very short I have an outstanding debt with LloydsTSB for £5600

I negotiated with LloydsTSB to pay £75 a month (should have been £246, this went on for a couple of years) but now they have passed me to these lot!

After getting what sounds like the standard letter from the 'Pre Court Division' I went to the CAB website and filled out the budgeting forms. It calculated I could afford just £25 per month which I would be happy to set up a direct debit to pay on the 23rd of the month when I get my salary, (result)!

I sent this off together with the CAB offer letter template (recorded delivery).

This has since been delivered and signed for by someone with the surname Moorcroft, (family company)?

Now bear in mind I sent this off on the Friday, after getting their letter on the Thursday and got a call at 8:30am on the Monday.

The person on the phone didn’t know about the letter and was phoning on the off chance I presume. So I explained what was contained in the letter.

After first asking for my card details for full payment there and then (lol) they accepted my offer of £25 per month if I could make the first payment today, no problem.

I gave them my card details, £25 was taken from my account, they set up the direct debit and said they would review it in 2 to 3 months time.

I have since received a letter from them setting out my repayment plan that stretches till 2029.

Now I don’t want to seem blasé about this, I know 19 years is a long time to pay off a debt but I am quite happy to pay £25 a month for as long as it takes...

So my question is how do I deal with the inevitable phone call(s) that will come a couple of months from now? How do I best phrase that I WILL NOT increase my payments for as long as the debt lasts?

Any advice would be most helpful!

Many thanks,

TC

 

invest another £80 in a truecall and you will never have another unwanted telephone call
