    • 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.

Hi everyone, Im new to this forum and have decided to join having got myself stuck in the payday loan trap....At this moment in time I owe £453 to Wonga (£300 loan), £584 to PTP (£450 loan) and £400 to payday UK. Have been in touch with Payday Uk today as I defaulted last month and they have offered me a 3 month repayment plan which, I may be able to pay but didnt commit to, said I would ring them Friday which is my payday. I cancelled my direct debit last week with PTP and they have e-mailed me stating that they need me to contact them urgently as direct debit cancelled, I did this today saying I would once again contact them Friday with a view to paying, but not the full amount. However I havent contacted Wonga yet as I defaulted with them Saturday and they havent contacted me.

I have cancelled my debit card and will be paid on Friday, I intend to make arrangements with these companies but need some advise on how to do this.

 

Should I email them with an offer of payment, I can afford £50 per month each? , I have heard horror stories that even though I have cancelled my card they can still take money from it ! Is this true?, also My payday being Friday...I intend to wake at 2am to transfer my wages to another Natwest account I have I guess this is sensible as wonga take payments (sometimes the full amount) from 5am.

 

Any advise would be appreciated .....I fully accept responsibility for this mess but really need to sort it out as £250 interest a month is crippling me.....Thanks

you might have to accept a little extra, but its your choice how hard you want to fight. just regarding the letters etc.. i would answer their calls and have the conversation, this will give you a better chance of a better deal speaking from experience. make sure to have everything confirmed in writing thereafter though and NEVER give new card details as they will try and take every penny...

Try not to worry too much about Wonga....just stick to your guns and insist on everything in writing. There are several of us on here who have successfully managed to set up repayment plans over 12 months. I am paying back the original loan plus the interest they would have charged for that........no further charges or interest have been added.

Good luck!

PTP have a damn cheek!! they rang my work number today and asked for me, I told them to ring my mobile.....and my mobile only, at 2.30pm..no call. I rang back and asked what was going on to which I got ' Its regarding your cancelled direct debit and collections will ring you at 4pm' we will see. Anyway I checked my account and PTP have charged me £59.00 non payment fee and the money isn't even due until Friday!!! I shall e-mail them later today to request only contact by e-mail and letter. Does anyone have a template letter at all

 

Thanks.

PTP are one of the worst, I suspect their collection agents are paid on commission only and get 'marked up' if they incur £59 charges... it is about time this whole industry was heavily regulated, £59 for non payment is crazy by anybodys standards.

They just rang me back, wanted payment today, two days early but are prepared to waive the late payment fee if I give debit card details and pay on Friday. I obviously didnt give them and will be e-mailing them friday afternoon.
