    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 there, i am really in need of some advice...

 

When i was a student i was offered a Natwest student account which came with an interest free overdraft. I know i definitely used the account and i'm not disputing that i owe them money, however, i have now received a yellow warning card from Allied International demanding the outstanding sum is paid in full.

 

My issue with this is that correspondance in previous years has either not been sent or sent to another address. I have received e-mails over the past couple of months from Natwest asking me to get in touch urgently which i have done only to find that they won't discuss the account with me as i can't pass security. At this point i told them my current address and asked if they could send me details of the account but instead i have received this warning and demand from Allied. I phoned Allied last night and explained that no-one from Natwest would speak to me regarding the account so they gave me a number and a ref to quote and again no-one would speak to me so i am currently waiting on a phonecall back from Allied.

 

I am happy to pay the amount i owe (just over £1,500) but this isn't something i can do in one go as my partner and i are saving for our wedding in 8 months and money is tight. I am also concerned that charges may have been added to the balance so i want to see a full break down of the amount before payment is discussed.

 

Can anyone advise me if it is likely that they will agree a payment plan with me and if they will provide me with a breakdown of the amount? I can't see them being understanding about me needing my money for our wedding and was considering the option of not disclosing how much i earn if asked - would this be adding fuel to the fire? (I don't earn alot of money but would ideally like to tell them i earn less than i do but not sure if they can find out how much i earn?)

Hi,

couple of questions first.

 

when was the last time you made payment to this account?

Have you admitted this is your debt - in writing?

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my problem.

 

I really don't know when the last time was i made a credit but it was definitely a while ago.

 

At the moment, i have said i do not understand the debt as i haven't received any statements etc.

The reason I asked was that if no payment nor acknowledgement of a debt is made in 6 years (5 years in Scotland) the debt is Statute Barred by virtue of the Limitations Act 1980.

 

Allied (I believe) are a debt collection Agency and as such should be treated with caution. I would send them this:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?428-General-debt-letter-if-you-know-nothing-of-the-debt

 

Make sure it is sent Recorded delivery and don't sign it. Just print your name.

 

They have to prove a debt exists. Not you prove it doesn't

 

In time it may come to you sending Nastywest a SAR but I would hold off till you get some response from the DCA

Hi, i just wanted to ask advice on an update i have regarding my overdraft. Allied finally phoned me back and they have offered me the opportunity to settle my account by paying £900 instead of the £1,584 that is owed.

 

To me, this seems like a good deal but is it too good to be true? Also, would this be their final offer?

 

Thanks

stop talking to these jokers on the phone

NEVER talk about your debts to a DCA by that method.

they have no legal powers and can do nowt to you.

 

if they are giving you a discount that prob means that its statute barred or made solely of charges or something else is wrong.

 

don't pay them a penny.

 

demand everything in writing only

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I had hoped that my account may be statued barred but i credited it just over 2 years ago so unfortunately i do owe Natwest.

 

This makes me think that the offer of £900 is not bad as it means i will be rid of the debt and Natwest once and for all. I'm just surprised that they have offered me this and i wondered if it was worth saying i can't quite raise that amount in the hope that they would come further down?

no dca offers a 'discount' if they can hit you for the full amount

 

they cant prove its yours

 

so dont give them any clues

 

fire off the letter SF recommended to the DCA

 

and stop using that phone
