    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • 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.

MW2.........Hi......HL and Experto the same............who purchased the debt was it Varde Ireland????????????????????Experto usually state this in their letter.............if MBNA sold the debt they are required to to send a Notice of Assignment, this can be a line in a letter saying "we have sold this debt to....whoever)" and the purchaser of the debt are required to do the same............if Varde are the purchasers and Experto acting for them the letter needs to be slightly different from the obvious..............will watch out for your reply............good luck............FS

MW2............so Experto wrote to you stating that Varde Ireland had purchased the debt and had been instructed by Varde to act on their behalf,at this stage write to Experto and say you have never heard of Experto or Varde why should you accept their word that Varde own the debt and they Experto have authority to act on their behalf, you are required to prove this debt before you will give this your consideration..................CCA send this later...see what their response is to the PROVE IT letter...................FS

MW2.........yes PPI can be recovered/challenged..........in your case if PPI was sold as this was the only way you will get a card,that is sufficient to claim..........because there are a number of reasons covering mis-sold PPI there does not appear to be a letter,send a letter along the lines of...............I am claiming back mis-sold PPI because it was made very clear to me that unless I took out PPI I would not get the MBNA card......................send to MBNA not Experto................do you have all the statements covering the period of PPI payments???????????.......FS................you need to work out the PPI payments then add the interest that was applicable at the time and then add 8%...................

I've been looking around on the Internet and it appears if the account is over 6 years old,which mine is, it's harder to make a claim on ppi as they won't have the records of the account that far back ,is this the caes?

Do not believe it,they have records they are just hiding behind "we only need to supply up to 6 years worth of statements"should they make this reply to you tell them as they are unwilling to co-operate you will estimate the payments made to them and add the likely interest and the 8%..................FS

Do not phone them........strange letter........write to them and ask them to supply the details they refer to from the CRA they have been monitoring ..............have you sent a Prove it Letter??????? because you are dealing with a company who say they represent another company who you have never heard of,why would you consider sending money to a stranger..................FS

Hi firstship the letter I sent to them was the one when the debt has been passed to a dca while still in dispute with original lender, can't for the life of me think what they've been looking at? No doubt highly illegal whatever it is!! Will write and ask them.

experto are never quick with their replies..............to sum up your thread MBNA sold your debt and did not bother to send a Letter of Assignment,Experto/HL confirmed that they represent Varde Ireland and Varde had purchased the debt and from the out set MBNA are in Account in Dispute situation............. am at this point myself with Experto.............have written to Experto and told them I am not prepared to take their word that they represent Varde and who is Varde(I am aware of who they are and their connection with Experto) and I am not prepared to accept their word that the company they represent who I have never heard of have purchased the debt,they Varde need to write to me to confirm the purchase(Assignment) and their authority to allow Experto act on their behalf.As things stand you are asking me to pay a company I have never heard of who represent another company I have never heard of,do you think I am silly? and in passing MBNA sold the debt you say whilst the account was in dispute which is in contravention of OFT guidelines,and suggest you return the debt to MBNA.....................a letter along these lines should start things moving.............FS

As long as MBNA where in default and did not send you a letter of Assignment,they have ignored OFT guidelines as it so happens the OFT on the 10th December took MBNA to task for their methods of dealing with their clients in financial difficulty,and should they continue it could cost them £50,000 per complaint,with this in mind tell Experto,to return the account to MBNA and respond to your letter regarding their additional OFT guideline contravention.Write to MBNA re the mis-sold PPI get your claim in,and inform the OFT and the ICO,either online or in writing regarding MBNAs complete disregard of OFT guidelines....................FS

Just had a response today from Experto asking me to inform them of the dispute with mbna so they can refer it back to them? What should I send them, if anything and should I mention the missold ppi on the account? Any advice would be appreciated.

Tell Experto that MBNA are in default of the Law of Property Act 1925 section 136 and 196 by selling a debt without informing the debtor,and further remind them that you have no idea who they Experto are or their clients Varde Ireland are,under the current circumstances, your company need to prove the existence of a debt ......and you are in the process of claiming back mis-sold PPI from MBNA(get this claim in to MBNA asap)...................FS
