    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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'll be brief but hoping someone may be able to help.

 

£9000 credit card with Halifax, no enforcable credit agreement, all they have is my application.

disputed agreement etc, didnt hear anything for years but i was making very low contributions through payplan. (ive heard courts agreeing with banks if they say they lost it but provide a new one now anyway)

stopped payplan as never heard anything from halifax.

letter through dated 18th march taking me to court for full amount.

called blair oliver scott to try and stop court action, they want £7500 in 3 installments to avoid court. offered £3000 said no.

 

court papers worrying me, if i go to court will they force me to pay the whole lot or am i better to agree £7500 but ask for longer to pay? Should i continue to dispute the account? If i stand in court and they say did i borrow it, id have to say yes. Id imagine a court then saying well pay it, and giving me a ccj.

 

does going to court about these things always result in a ccj?

 

thanks

They won't force you to pay in one go. On the other hand if that you have assets such as a house, then they could be a charge on it and you could be forced to sell the house.

 

Are there any charges associated with this credit card debt? – And if so how much?

No assetts so no worries there.

Yes there are charges but more concerned with having to go to court and getting a ccj, i want to avoid this at all costs really. Just spoke to Blair again who have said there's now nothing i can do except pay the full amount now... which i cant do.

 

Can i go to court and say they have no complete paperwork, which they have admitted to... all they have is my application form as in another post i have made here. Ive heard that courts now say if banks come up with a replacement they can just use that. got to reply to this court paperwork tomorrow so if anyone can help today would appreciate it....... cab are so hard to get hold of!

So you haven't actually been served court papers yet (just a letter from the DCA saying they are taking you to court)? There is a possibility that this wont go to court. A DCA threatening court action doesn't always mean court action will happen. Its usually just the DCa trying to scare you into parting with your cash.

 

Firstly stop speaking to them on the phone. They will lie to you just to get your money.

Secondly as BankFodder mentioned have a look at your charges. there is always a chance your charges outweigh what you actually owe. you can also add a compounded interest rate onto your charges so this will help.

If the agreement is unenforcable then that would also help you.

 

well thats everything from the top of my head hopefully more help will be on soon to help.

 

Lastly, try not to worry too much. It may be easier to say than do but rest assured you're in the right place :)

i have posted most of what i have received from halifax. They have actually filed court action as in the first pics, not sure if they are bluffing hoping i will pay the full amount or what their plan is really. The £9k debt has around £2.5 k of charges on it but i dont have an exact figure, just what they let slip on the phone once. I did request details of all charges years ago but since moving house cannot find details. Any help greatly appreciated.
