    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • I want to add my 2 cents here...  The purchase of this debt, Perch Group dont absolve themselves of liabilities from the Original Creditor. They should be responsible for dealing with this complaint in response to an Irresponsible Lending dispute.  If the balance is disputed as such in that way - Then they should be referring to the Original Creditor where applicable.    Also if your complaint was written in a way where a template wasnt used or it was rewritten to a similar effect where it wasnt recognisable - Then you probably would have stood a better opportunity at it not getting rebuffed.  To be honest those - Perch and TM Legal are a waste of Oxygen and will say anything to get you to pay.    Ditto on the template. Where did you find it?  Please keep in mind we have to unravel what you have done till now and help build a formal response.

    • 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 All :-):-)

 

I hope you can help me.

I am in a bit of financial bother at the min and am looking to try and pay off all my debts. I have got some money to pay off some debts and today I have been calculating what I should pay.

 

Anyway, I bought a Sofa from SCS back in Feb 08 that is being finance by Barclays. I have been paying £27 per month since on 0% and today phoned for a statement to see how much was outstanding.

 

I was shocked to find that a balance of £558 was still to be paid. I asked what this was for as my 3 years payment was nearly finished and they have told me its to do with charges ref to returned DD's and Letter being sent out!! Me and my partner have been struggling in the past couple of years as she has been made redundant twice and have recently had a baby.

 

I asked if they could wave some of the charges as I am looking to pay off the balance in full but the most they could offer was £45.

 

Were do I stand with possibly getting these charges refunded?

Hi SaintDP,

 

Can you confirm the exact Barclays product used to finance the purchase.

 

Don't accept their offer to refund £45, or any other amount, at this stage.

 

It sounds like a Fixed Sum Loan, in which case, any Penalty Charges added to the a/c for late payments, missed pay'ts or returned DD's can be reclaimed in full. You can also claim compound interest on the penalty charges if any interest has been charged.

 

You need details (amount and date) of every charge added to the a/c and, if you don't have statements showing this, you must get them by sending an SAR to the bank or finance Company.

 

This template letter should do but adapt it to reflect your individual case as necessary - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?552-Data-Protection

As far as I know its a Fixed sum loan as you said.

 

I requested a statement when I spoke to them, not sure if it will show all the charges but will wait and see what they send. If it doesnt Ill sent the letter you said.

Hi Saint,

 

I'd give them 7 days from when they said they'd send out a/c statements.

 

If no response by then, use the SAR.

Yep, send off the SAR to get your statements.

 

No point in wasting any more time waiting for them.

Barclays have 40 days to respond to a SAR, so there's still a while to go.

If the cheque has been cashed, I'd give them a few extra days.

 

If it hasn't, send them a reminder letter enclosing a copy of the original.

Update. The cheque cleared on Wed (Typical) so I though cool will get my statements in a couple of days.

 

This Saturday I get a letter saying unfortunatly we can not action your request as NO cheque was enclosed!!! WTF!!!

 

I am now thinking of getting a copy of the banked cheque from my bank to send to them, any other suggestions?? Or is this just delay tactics?

No, it's not delaying tactics...............just a bit rubbish with their admin !!

 

Maybe the cheque and the letter were separated, hence the delay in the cheque being cashed.

 

Write confirming your cheque was cashed by them on xxdate and you want your SAR response asap.

Either ignore Mercers as they're pretty harmless, or send them a brief letter saying Barclays are in default of your SAR request so the a/c is in clear dispute and they must cease all collection activity.

Just a brief suggestion as I don't want to hijack SaintDP's thread..........

 

Don't let the bank dictate the timescale by which they'll respond.

 

Four weeks is way too long so, if they haven't responded to your complaint or request within 14 days, follow up with your next step.

 

:roll:
