    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Can you tell us more about what happened please? Who stopped you and which shop? Best, HB
    • You don't mention what the debts are, which is important, as it really depends on the details in deciding best course of action. So list types of debt e.g credit card, type of loan, utility bill; current owner bank or dca; approximate amount for each debt.  And do you own any property assets. There is no blanket advice regarding all types of debts. Whoever you contact regarding debt advice would want to know all of the information. The debt buying businesses deal with multi billions worth of debts. They can't issue Court claims for most debts as the cost of pursuing would be ruinous and don't have staff resources. Instead they rely on credit records being impacted and therefore people need to resolve the debts. And they rely on anxious debtors paying amounts after receiving threatening communications. If you know you are likely to be made redundant, start looking for other employment soon. Due to longer recruitment processes being followed by employers, it can take about 3 months between applying and starting a new job.
    • Hi I was caught shoplifting 4 items £20 worth, I’m petrified the Police will come to my house now please can you help. What can I do I worried about my job. 
    • I heard nothing more from J&P but have now had an email from the bank saying they have instructed IDR to act on their behalf?  so are they just passing it back? Selling it on again? I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing 
    • 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.

    • 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.

I am thinking of claiming against Abbey for £170 of bank charges (for being overdrawn for 6 days) and I have read the advice that suggests opening a new account before you start in case your old one gets closed. I am thinking of closing the account anyway so that all of my direct debits can be transferred before I approach Abbey for a refund.

 

Have people found it more difficult to claim against a bank that they are no longer a customer of? Would I be better off claiming first, or does it really make no difference?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm new to this.

I am interested in this too. The HSBC account in question was closed by them & the outstanding balance sold to a collection agency.

 

We are currently in a dept plan with payplan, and as HSBC was our current account at the time we defected leaving our overdraft behind which is now in the plan and we are paying teh collection agency through payplan.

 

Would they pay us even though we did owe them money? all outstanding has been sold on. The account was closed by them 18 months ago.

 

Thanks

The point is if they have applied charges to your account they owe you the money back, in effect they have unlawfully taken money from your account.

 

So i am not sure what payplans view will be, i used them but didnt know about these charges until i settled my debts.

 

But if the creditors owe you money then you should pursue it to redcue your debt. Even if you dont end up with cash in your hand you will potentially reduce the total you owe or the period over which you have to pay.

 

Im not sure if anyone else here has claimed while in a debt management plan i would do a search for payplan, cccs and also wait and see if anyone else turns up with information.

Ahha! The very same question as i was about to post.

Hi all, my first post and i wanted to know whether anyone had claimed money back from a closed bank account. I have just recently left my barclays account and closed it down. Ive had this account since i was a student and it has seen a fair amount of charges! Im about to fill out the initial form which will give me the total amount taken form me as i really have no idea!

Im already with another bank now so i suppose i cant threaten them with losing my custom anymore! Wish id found this site a few weeks back while it ws still open.

Nadia.

I'm with the CCCS or consumer credit councolor service and Citicard have sold their debt onto Cabosh finance. I'mgoing after the Citicard and as i understand it as they have sold the debt on then they will need to send me a cheque.

 

On the other hand, my other debtors....up to 15 of them will probably put the money straight into my account therefore reducing the debt I owe. having said that it has been said on this site that you can demand the money back in any form you like, i.e. cheque or credit to your debt account.

If you are in a debt management plan or iva i believe that if you recover money you are obliged to distribute it pro rata amongst your creditors.

 

So i think that it is right to insist that any creditors who may be sued are forced to send you the money for this purpose.

 

If you havent i would run the idea past your debt councillor or insolvency practitioner.

Hi glen that goes without saying really. It would be nice to have a cheque to spend but as I said the citicard account is closed so they can't refund the charges to my account / debt. Having said that and with a long way to go to pay off he debts every little helps. I don't know wether i would be happy with a pro rata to everyone because some of my creditors have been right twats and for me i'd rather give it to the ones who have helped me rather than those who have had me on the brink of suicide......
