    • Thanks dx for your kind words. I plan to renew my season ticket and write a new begging letter as following, can I ask for any suggestion about it?   Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,   Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.   I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.   I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.   Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.   I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.   I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.    Yours sincerely,
    • You did what??? You asked them to send you the documents that without them you had  a 100% ironclad win in Court. Why on earth would you do that? As it happens in this case, there is still enough mistakes in their PCNs and the NTH to have your case cancelled. Amd it may be that not sending those documents in the first place along with the ICO complaint and the letters from Alliance themselves which would confirm by the dates on the letters may be enough to cancel it anyway. I hope you have kept their letters as evidence? The chances are that Alliance will not actually take you to Court because of their errors but you never know.  You have made so much extra work for yourself in your WS if they decide to push their luck.though. Can you please post up their letter where they give the reason why I wasn't sent with the NTH.
    • I'm not sure that I fully agree with my site team colleague above.  My understanding is that there is nothing to stop you recording but it is strictly for your own personal use.   
    • I live in a student house, with 5 tenants, unihomes is our utilities provider, who we each have a direct debit set up with and have paid each bill every month. Two letters were sent in my name by BWLegal saying I had two outstanding payments due adding up to over £3500, I have tried to contact british gas (as that is apparently our houses provider) as well as Unihomes. Nothing has helped and BWlegal are pursuing legal action if these debts are not resolved by the 1st May. What do I do? I've called Bwlegal when i bring up that the debt isnt for me and for unihomes they hang up on me. so I am stressed and do not know what to do
    • cant do either if its not in a public place or on your land. dx

    • 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.

Hello all

 

Today i received a letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery ltd demanding £1580 ( letter dated 6th april and want payment in full by 13th april ) on behalf of Lloyds tsb or they will instruct solicitors to take court action aginst me

 

This is for an overdraft but im ive been in a IVA since 2008 ( Thats when i changed bank thus leaving my account in this overdraft )

 

I feel like writing a letter back begging them to please take me to court and let a judge decide teh outcome as im sure if im in an IVA then surely any of my creditors cannot keep harrasing me ??

 

Any help appreciated , on how to go back at them with leters etc or people who have had experience with moorcroft ( are they serios when mention court action , door step collections etc ? )

 

Thanks

Moorcr@p don't know the meaning of serious, Hello guests!

 

And as it is them, then this is almost certainly unenforceable as that is all they deal with, the buying up of all the lemons the other fools don't want.

 

Is Lloyds in your IVA?

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!

I'd be inclined to keep shtum and allow Moorcr@p to to dig their own grave, lodge a formal complaint about them to the FOS. http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/consumer/complaints.htm

 

Moorcr@p won't go near a court, they can't, they are a petty foolish debt collector, something which they are very bad at.

I take it that you mean they have been sending you interminable emails?

 

Have you told them only to contact you in writing and by mail?

Hello Again !

 

So your advice is to just ignore all these letters until something / if anything about actually being taken to court arrives ??

 

Then maybe when that does happen send CAA requests etc for them to prove it is my " debt " and that they have the authority to collect it ??

Just an update

 

Today i recieved a letter saying as i failed to respond before 13th April ( As requested in previous letter wanting payment in full ) then i must complete an income and expenditure with an advisor ???? Have they the powers to make me do any of this or can i just ignore their demand ??

 

Im getting fed up already as since monday 11th April i have now received 4 letters from Moorcroft ( In a 7 day period ) surely this must border on harrassment

Get that letter to the OFT immediately, pressurising you to do an I&E with an advisor (for which they might slap on a charge to YOU) is wrong. Why not tell them you are in an IVA and let the IVA people deal with them.... they have no right to harrass you and need to be reported.

The problem i have is the " Debt " which Moorcroft are chasing is for an overdraft which was a joint account in mine and wifes name but only myself entered into an IVA as all the debt was in my name , so i guess that they will now ( after over 3 years ) try to make my wife pay this remainding balance

If they have only chased you so far, then I suspect they will continue to only chase you. Are the letters addressed just to you or to you both?

 

As regards the IE sheet they have absolutely no right to ask for it, only a judge can demand you fill one in. However, sometimes it can help your cause if you offer it voluntarily to back up what you are telling them you can afford to pay each month, it is not for them to dictate this to you.

 

I would agree about the harassment, but would put up with it until you have a payment sorted out as you want them on your side for the moment. Once that is sorted, report them immediately for harassment.

That is where I differ! I would NOT put up with ANY of these imbeciles harassment whatsoever. If you think they are harassing you, then they are harassing you, once they have carried out an action at least twice, then they are committing a criminal offence, have them by the short & curly's!

 

Report them not only to the OFT&TS but the FOS your local MP the local media, AND your trump card the Police.

Here is a list of the offences they are committing.

Totally agree with above comments use that payment book to pay whatever you can afford and not what they want, Totally agree you have a life to live so dont let it get you down and just give them what you can afford, i have been doing some work on this where they have requested xx amount and after a bit of letter tennis they now accept x amount!! Keep positive

Steve, if you can only afford to give them £1 a month, then thats what they get, its not for them to tell you how much to pay them. I had dealings with this muppet firm a few years back, they didn't get paid as we couldn't agree an amount, they went of in a huff saying that they will take me to court, that now nearly 4 years ago & the account in question is doing the merry go round as its still in dispute.

 

Listen mate, don't be afraid of Moorcroft, they are nothing, just like any other DCA, they are nothing, they have no powers. It maybe worth you making a complaint to Trading Standards/Office of Fair Trading amongst others.
