    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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.

Just rec'd letter from Wescot re loan, confused as opens with "Thank you for your recent contact with regard to the above account". Just checked thread and sent the account in dispute letter to them late Sept. 2012. Reckon the nursery nurses must have made them have a long sleep after feeding them dinner.

 

Letter states they are investigating my query!!! and they will suspend all collections activity whilst investigation taking place - guess the colouring books and pencils been locked away, naughty children. "Process may take several weeks and we would appreciate your patience during this time" Tempted to reply with "please take all the tie you want, several years would be better as I am a very patient person"

 

Guess advice will be to a) ring them immediately and offer to pay them, or b) ignore. Decisions Decisions!!!

Hi All

 

Things been quiet for a while but son-in-law just received letter from LTSB notifying they have assigned all rights to 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd, who will now be the Data Controller of persoanal data contained in the records of this account. Also 1st Credit Limited will manage account.

 

Have no experience of this bunch. Any advice welcome as ever.

 

Account has been in dispute - no CCA received for the account. Would it have been sold as a job lot with no paperwork??

 

regards Intend

 

comment to site team - might it be wise to change thread name to "1st Credit bought LTSB loan"

 

just read another recent thread in which 1st credit just bought a LTSB loan - could have sold a batch perhaps.

  • 4 weeks later...

got a couple of letter from 1sr Credit just before Christmas - ignored up til now - daughter very stressed and affecting her health badly.

 

First titled "We accept affordable arrangement offers" - inviting contact to agree repayment terms. Interesting that they quote Client as Lloyds Bank - despite allegedly buying the debt. Is this normal??

 

2nd letter offers discounts for paying with timescales.

 

As yet have totally ignored them since getting assignment letter. I am unsure about how to proceed. All advice welcome as ever.

 

About to look at PPI on the loans with a view to reclaiming - am sure son-in-law had more than one loan with LTSb so about to SAr them.

Intend- I had the same letter. Your next letter will also offer discounts by certain periods and then a further letter will ask the same except worded slightly differently.From my experience if reduced payment offer letters are sent then it usually indicates that they would have difficullty enforcing due to a number of reasons so use this tactic to get some sort of payment.

Thanks for replies -

As predicted DD

- couple more letters arrived

 

- first titled "Make us an offer"

- stating they have written on numerous occasions ( twice actually but for dumb DCAs this is the limit of their maths ability)

- go on to threaten passing account to a doorstep collector (at which point I always chuckle at Baz Boo and his I have no doorstep to collect retort)

- Also they included an Income and Expenditure form to complete.

 

Second letter titled "Discount Opportunity"

- now they

"intend to instruct a doorstep agent" to visit property then go on to say or alternatively they are prepared to offer a discount to pay.

Daughter stressed about home visit

- husband at work all day

- 12 hour shifts 6 days a week and has 2 young children.

 

Ford - thanks for input - account has been in dispute and been with Moorcrap, Wetcloth, CSL and Apex.

 

As yet not sent anything to 1st Crud - thinking either prove it letter as they now claim to own debt,

yet still quote LTSB as client, or the Account in dispute letter.

 

All advice welcome

 

Guess need to get something sent to stop them calling - seen something on CAG to stop them in their tracks - will look around other threads.

 

Cheers - Intend

maybe then continuing with the 'dispute', sort of starting all over again as they now own - eg prove it/cca request type incorporating no acknowledgments, no visits, no calls? what do you think?

alternatively, could consider negotiation. or continue to ignore for now (but note that they now own so is up to them, not the original creditor, to decide what to do)

Cheers Ford - was thinking along same lines - not inclined to ignore, daughter very stressed, but send the prove it letter and as you say start all over again and take it one letter at a time.

 

Am tempted to change address so letter come direct to my house - both me and OH can handle these.

 

DD - seems we are on the same timeline with this bunch - will keep you posted on developments and respnses.

 

Off to type up the prove it letter and a SAR to LTSb.

Another missive arrives

- still talking about my LTSB account rather than their account

- misleading to say the least if bought by them.

 

"Would like to offer you a few options to get the debt resolved.

 

Would you be in a position to agree to one of them?"

- Err no!!

- affordable monthly installments or seek advice from a non fee Debt Management Company.

- give 3 firms.

thats the thing, when they sell things on they don't pass on any further details such as any complaints/disputes/issues etc, so its sort of starting over.

don't recall atm, is this close to statute bar? and the 'dispute' was re no agreement/cca request response? any missold ppi?

Cheers Ford - not close to SB- dispute was no agreement - think has ppi on it , just starting process

 

Agree its like staring over so was torn between the prove it route or the "aacount in dispute route - not sure of implications of OC selling a debt that is in dispute.

not sure of implications of OC selling a debt that is in dispute.

 

Pretty much it shouldn't be done, the OFT guidelines state this, but as par the course OFT DCG go unnoticed and carry little or no weight.

 

Although a complaint should always be made to the OFT regarding the ignorance of their guidelines.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

ok, not close to SB. would think then prove it/cca request type letter, see what they come back with. they'll prob have to refer back to loyds, so things should go on 'hold' then. include in letter no acknowledgments, no visits, no calls. in meantime do that sar and see what the situ is re any missold ppi.

 

generally, seems that if an original creditor doesn't take action themselves, then they'll just take the escape route and sell things on regardless. so if no contact with an original creditor after it has done their dca collection rounds, then is likely to be up for sale.
