    • 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.

Not sure if I am in the right place, first time user! Anyway, does anyone know how I might stand right now. Last year I incurred two £12 charges for apparent late payment, they arrived on the same day. I paid up my account in full within a month minus the £24 and sent an email to say I didn't agree with charges, they replied that I had to. They have since been chasing me for this money plus a lot of interest. I did contact FOS who wrote to them on my behalf, they replied with an offer for me to pay just the £24 and I have replied that I still don't agree with it. What do you think?

Received a letter yesterday which couldn't have possibly crossed with mine where they state that the £24 is arrears (which they aren't) and that I have until 3rd May 2011 to pay or else the account will be passed to normal collections activity. Also enclosed is an acceptance form that I am supposed to complete and return with the money. If I wish to discuss this account I can telephone them (no point). Letter ends with the comment 'I trust this clarifies our position'. Still not sure if I must pay this money, although I think not. Should I just send everything to FOS for their help?

no def not

 

they are a 'penalty charge'that have not been negotiated with the consumer and as such are unlawful and can be reclaimed.

 

i think it might well be an idea for you to have a read around

 

although not specific to your issue

 

sequenci's blog in my sig is worth a read.

 

i'd also goto this forum homepage and do some reading of some other like threads.

Hi dont know when you started your account but if prior to April 2007 they may not have a signed agreement and you would be able to reclaim all interest applied to the account as no agreement to apply interest. Please have a look at the link to my claim against J.D. Williams it shows it can be done and difficulties they can make.

Just a thought here.

 

When you piad the account off, JD would (in all likelihood) put part of your payment to the charges and the rest to the debt owing which would leave the account in arrears.

I would ignore the FOS and start a reclaim of the charges

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Hi! Unfortunately my account was opened in 2009 online, but I never actually signed anything although I probably clicked on something that means the same? Don't know how I would stand on that one. However I will look at the link to your claim, everything helps and I just want them off my back.

Yes Fox, they take any payments made off the default charges first and not off the actual balance, ie if 2 £12 charges are added and customer pays £50 off bill then £24 is allocated off the charges and £26 off the outstanding balance, they will then try to argue any interest incurred was not on the charges as they were paid off in the next payment, I claimed for a relative and charged them the 39.7% + the CC int @ 8% and won.

Just a thought here.
