    • I posted a couple of years ago about our debt situation and have been trying to pay off our debt as best we can. It is a possibility I maybe made redundant in a few months time, so I am trying to find out everything I can about what happens in today’s world when you can’t pay. I keep finding conflicting advice on various sites so I wanted to post this quote to get thoughts. It claims basically that the dca will likely get enforceable documents these days and therefore it’s likely you will have to pay dca at some point during the 6 year process.    on here I read a lot of comments assuming the exact opposite of this. A lot of the threads on here state the beginning of the process but I never see conclusive stuff about what happened from start to finish to get insight into whether debts post 2015 have been enforced etc. I hear a lot here not to pay dca companies but most my debts are post 2015 debts I am all up to date on our debts but if I lose my job it is likely I’ll end up where I tried to avoid in the first place. Which is destroying our files and dealing with DCA. I’ll post it below so you can see what I mean.   It is likely that any debts incurred after 2007 will end up with all the documentation being provided and being enforceable. Therefore you should use the time while awaiting responses going through your Income & Expenditure and considering any possiblity of making a full and final settlement. It can take a number of months to reach the stage of a hearing date and exchange of witness statements and normally you would be able to settle or come to an arrangement to pay before the court hearing, once documents have been provided, although this isn’t guaranteed.
    • depends who said sols state their client is. IDRWW vis~IDR(worldWide) are a debt collector regulated & registered in the UK & USA    they are not solicitors. they use various 'for hire' - here use our letterhead paper tiger solicitors. its just a case of who's stupid enough to join their folly. IDR law used to be their fav but they lost do much money, they broke ties after almost being struck off and now do Will/Probate disputes only. IDR Legal are their sols wing. moriarty law Judge and priestly Taheel - a foreign DCA that use absolutely any trick in the book to extort money even pretending to be any of the above inc being the bank themselves in phone calls.

    • 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, i am new to the forum and appologise if i have posted something that has already been answer. My problem is that a solicitors in Manchester (GLP) have sent a leeter to my parents house, where i have lived for 25yrs . My parents phoned me to tell me that a letter had arrived with a solictors stamp on the envelope, i collected the letter and opened it to find that a finance company (Marsh) had tasked them to collect a £5000 debt which i had no idea existed. I phoned the solictors to enquire who they where and informed them that i didnt know who they where and that the address they had posted to was my parents and that i hadnt lived there for 25years. The solictor told me i had until the 15/02/11 to pay the full amount or the word follow with court proceeding. Can anyone help with any information

Hi Eli

 

Welcome to CAG

 

Thread Moved.

 

It sounds like a 'fishing trip'. I would check your credit file. Providing you haven't had any CCJ's the debt if it is yours is Statuted Barred providing no payments have been made over the last 6 years. One of the Credit Reference Agencies does a 30 day Free Trial. Don't forget to cancel it. There are template letters in the library that you can send, if you need too.

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

 

If the information they send back shows that it's a debt which hasn't had any payment made or written acknowledgement of for a period of six years (five in Scotland) it will be Statute Barred & they cannot take any legal enforcement.

Thanks for the speedy replies, however i am unsure of any dates. if i have had any dealing with this company i cant be sure it is more than 6 years. even though i have spoke to the solictor, is it safe to ignore any futher letters from the solictors

If the debt is Statuted Barred, they won't waste their time, theres nothing they can do.

 

what is the likely step that solictors take after first contact, is it safe to ignore any future letters, and return thm to sender

Check your Credit File, that should answer the dates question, you haven't sealed your fate, far from it. No negative thinking please. The general guidance on DCA's and solicitors is don't speak to them over the phone. It's better to contact them via letter.

 

i think as i am not sure of the dates and that fact that i have contacted them, i have sealed my fate. thanks for all the replies though

The only reason we advise not to speak to them is so that you have documentary evidence of what's occurred. They can say anything over the 'phone and then deny it unless you record the calls. Besides the telephone is a debt collectors preferred medium in order to threaten & intimidate.

 

The fact that you have spoken to them on the 'phone is not evidence of admission of a debt.

Well i havent recieved any mail today from GLP, however i have give some thought to my past finances and i believe that i may of had some dealings with Marsh Finance about 4 1/2 years ago but i have heard anything from them in the last 4 1/2 years. Can anyone advise me on the best course of action now even though i spoke to GLP

There is no fixed time limit for them to respond, it really depends if they are fishing or not. They may try their luck & try and pursue but as already said if it is Statute Barred they cannot do anything, equally if you are not the person they are looking for.

 

Don't let it worry you, there's nothing they can do. ;)

Hi

Welcome to The Consumer Action Group.

 

 

I am just letting you know that as you haven't had any replies to your post yet, it might be better if you post your message again in an appropriate sub-forum. You will get lots of help there.

 

Also take some time to read around the forum and get used to the layout. It is a big forum and takes a lot of getting used to.

 

 

Once you start to find your way, you will soon realise that it is fairly easy to get round and to get the help you need.

 

It can be bit confusing at first.

Please be advised that my time will be limited for the next few weeks.Thanks for your understanding.
