    • Interesting question regarding what Government accounts opposition parties have access to, before an General Election. From what I understand, Government department accounts that are published are always lagging behind and would not include some amounts which are classified as 'commercially sensitive'.  Therefore opposition parties and Parliamentrary select committees would not have access to accounts which contain real time up to date information. If a new Government have found £20 billion of spending liabilities they did not know about, this could be true, as £20 billion is not that much when you look at total Government expenditure. Government department are making decisions on spending all of the time and it could be the previous Government were planning tax changes and/or spending cuts to balance the books.  Jeremy Hunt has recently said that if the Tories had stayed in Government and held an Autumn budget, it would have been very difficult to cut taxes as some had wanted.

    • ok your WS is wrong. Paragraph 16 and 17 says  you did not contract with evri but this is not true - see below  Furthermore to the eBay Powered By Packlink T&Cs that Evri is referring to, Clauses 3b and c of the T&Cs states:  (b)   Packlink is a package dispatch search engine that acts as an intermediary between its Users and Transport Agencies. Through the Website, Users can check the prices that different Transport Agencies offer for shipments and contract with the Transport Agency that best suits their needs on-line. (c)  Each User shall then enter into its own contract with the chosen Transport Agency. Packlink does not have any control over, and disclaims all liability that may arise in contracts between a User and a Transport Agency post 251 of occy thread - £844 lost    you should also add a paragraph on donough v Stevenson talking about the fact that even without contract there is still duty of care to goods and by failing to deliver this duty has been breached.   Make those changes and post it back up here and I'll check over things again

    • 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 guys, I am new to the forum so please advise me if my thread is in the right place etc.

 

To bring you up to speed I was being harrassed by HFO constantly for a debt to Barclaycard and after reading some great advice within the forums I sent them a CCA request.

 

Today they replied with a letter enclosing my application form and asking me to contact them regarding payment.

 

What they sent me was a copy of my origional application form (copied from microfiche) which I had filled out. It's not a great copy and you can't read that much. It does not contain any T&C's or credit limit or interest rates etc They did not send me anything else I requested like statement of account etc.

 

Also what strikes me as strange is that I stopped paying my credit cards, bank loan and O/D at the same time (to the best of my recolection) when I lost my business and all of the others are Statute Barred. But the Barclaycard isn't until june 2011 under HFO's entry on my CRA file. Can they alter these dates?

 

Basically where do you think I should go from here?

 

Thanks guys

Alex

Just to add I found the letter from HFO a little odd, it read:

I write to you regards to the above debt in your name. Please also see enclosed application relating to your account with Barclaycard.

 

As we have provided the documents you requested, please no arrange to you account manager on xxxx xxx xxxx to arrange payment on the account.

 

 

They haven't provided me with any requested documents. The only thing they sent was a copy of my application.

Hi FORMISTER,

 

From what you say there is nothing to worry about.

 

If all they have sent is an application form, then that’s all it is. The agreement is unenforceable at court and HFO will be well aware of this.

 

I would ignore their request to contact them and just let the clock tick until June 2011. Do not acknowledge the debt or make any payments.

 

If you do encounter further issues then post them up.

 

Regards….Turnaround

Thanks for your reply.

Just a quick one, they don't seem to want to send me a statement of account. I may be guessing that my last payment could be over six years ago and statute barred. They tell me it's not but are quoting the date I was issued a default on. I would assume that my last payment was long before the default notice was served.

Knowing HFO it probably is Statute Barred and they are chancing their arm, they now have this idea that if a debt is statute barred and you admit it is statute barred THEY can still collect via the courts... plus if you send the statute barred letter they say it irrevocably means it IS your debt.

 

Others of the HFO fanclub will be along at some point.

Hi FORMISTER,

 

I would be careful not to acknowledge the debt in any way when contacting them.

 

It would safer to take the June 2011 date you have, rather than press for one. So if you can hang out till then do so.

Hi Formister,

 

There's a letter in the Debt Collection Library for use when a debt is being chased after 6 years - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?420-Letter-to-use-if-a-DCA-still-try-to-collect-after-Statute-Barred

 

If they have proof that the debt is NOT Statute Barred, let them provide it, or go away. 8-)

Even if they had committed an offence it isn't sufficient to have them closed down.

 

There are goings on at the moment involving HFO and there will hopefully be some action on this company.

 

Watch out for a card from Silverpoint Deliveries asking you to ring to confirm identity as they have sensitive documents for you... its HFO in disguise....

Hi again, After reading some other posts on the forum I thought I would question a letter that i received from HFO :

 

HFO Services

 

Notice of assignment of debt

***

***

***

etc

 

Your account including all legal rights and obligations associated with it, has been sold by BARCLAYCARD to HFO capital. Your debt is now subject to HFO's standard terms and conditions.

 

The account has now been assigned to me. As HFO will devote all of it's commercial and legal resources to the collection of this debt, my responsibility is to assist you in coming to a final and positive resolution with this account. I request you to contact me as soon as possible so that we may work towards reaching an amicable solution on this outstanding issue of yours which is incurring charges because of non payment.

 

It will never be cheaper and easier to settle this debt than it is today. etc etc etc.

 

My question is as they say HFOC has purchased the debt then shouldn't I have received the NOA from them or does this constitute a assignment agreement between HFOC and HFOS ?

 

Cheers for all your help so far

Personally, I would only send the Statute Barred letter at this stage.

 

To argue with them on other issues may be construed as acknowledgement of the alleged debt.

Thanks slick, will pursue the SB line, don't think the HFO mugs want to send me a detailed statement of account. Found my old statements last night and looks like I haven't paid it for over 6 years.

Excellent - if you have proof of the last payment being over 6 years back, just use the SB letter.

 

If they persist with this, you can report them to Trading Standards and to the FOS.

Hi

 

Just seen your thread. If you know that you have made no payment or written 'I acknowledge this debt' during the last 6 years to anyone then I would say to send the Stat Barred letter - link below. It is then up to them to prove that the debt is not (you do not have to prove that it is). The letters/documents they have sent you are all hamster bedding IMO and you could send the In Dispute letter as they have not fulfilled your CCA request. To get the full documents you would have to send a Subject Access request to Barclaycard but hopefully you will not have to do this.

Thanks again for all your wonderfull advice, will make sure I make a donation to the site.

 

On another matter I received a letter today from Zinc collections saying that they have been instructed by Barclays Bank to collect £626.54 from me. However this debt was assigned years ago to CL Finance and shows on my credit report under that name (it also still shows as barclays bank on my credit report, so a double entry).

 

Should I ignore it and wait for them to make their next move?

 

Thanks

That's what I was thinking , but like to have a second opinion. Got DLC mugs to stop harrassing me over £6000 debt to Barclay Loan with a SB letter and they have agreed to wipe my information from their system. I know we should all pay our debts but I lost my business over 7 years ago with several companies going bankrupt on me, so I don't feel bad about these people. It's nice to finally start to feeling like I can move on with my life.

 

Thanks for all your advice on what is a fantastic site.

Hi Formister,

 

Do you know how long ago you acknowledged this other a/c with Barclays and CL Finance.

 

I assume you've received no letter of assignment re the a/c.

Well Barclays have a default on my credit record on the 4th of january 2006. So im guessing i probably didn't pay it some months before hand but I can't guarentee this without sending a SAR to Barclays. Probably it is coming up to being SB which is why im getting fan mail again! I have never aknowledged any debt to any of them since I stoped paying, nor have I spoken to any of them on the phone.

 

Thanks
