    • she and  johnson need to be kicked off the taxpayers credit card - for starters I'm certain there is cause - taking up 'jobs' when they shouldn't, bringing the nation into disrepute with their antics .. I'm sure it would be a very popular act from a new labour guv
    • Please have a look at this draft letter. It is modelled on yours but I have cut out a load of the unnecessary information. Also, the responsibility lies with the finance company because the vehicle was brought on hire purchase. You send it to them and a copy to big motoring world.   Let us know if there's anything that you disagree with, which is wrong, which you think should be added
    • According to Alastair Campbell on Twitter, anti-Le Pen parties are pointing to RN's fiscal policies and saying they'll cause a 'Truss-style market meltdown'.

    • Thank-you @BankFodder, your statement is a correct understanding of my position and I agree, it is actually really what I was looking for in starting this thread, as I too believed that the maximum I could claim for is that which I sold it for, even though this was substantially below market value at the time. And so, this sold value is what I shall be claiming for + the other expenses. @dx100uk I get your point, but this is just not what I want to expose myself to. Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones to have my details stolen in the Peoples Energy hack, and in 2020 I discovered that those details had been used to take out car insurance, and that the insured was then involved in a collision and my details were dragged through the mud. Despite Aviva cancelling the claim and treating as though it never were, even though I have the letters from them to say that they have removed this claim from the insurance database, I still get refused insurance and credit products to this day until I send across the letter from Aviva which explains that I was a victim of fraud. So you'll forgive me for not jumping up and uploading my data to a server utility for which I have no control over its retention policy, or where the server is located globally, its legal jurisdiction, or its security protocols.

    • 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.

Ok, thats what I thought now the fight is on to get this off my name!

 

I was trawling thru the paper work the covering letter "application form request" was dated 4th May... That was when the statement request was... and when you look at the covering sheet for each item the same person it was sent to or requested by... So to me it looks like they sat on it until this time!

 

I think it should be that account in dispute letter and at the same time get a letter to the OFT and ICO for the records entered on my credit file!

Ok I have tweaked this abit

 

Thank you for your letter of 16th June 2011, the contents of which are noted.

 

I am disputing this account as I have never had this account with Barclaycard. As such, therefore, I consider this account to be in dispute and no further action should be taken by yourselves until this matter is resolved.As per OFT guidelines Section 2.8k "not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt."

 

I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the original creditor for resolution of this dispute as HFO Services cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities. I have firm belief that this is not my debt.

 

After reading all correspondence from HFO Services and if HFO Services still chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the CPUTR 2008 and the Office of Fair Trading's guidance on debt collection. I need to remind you that this states that it is unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain they are the debtor in question I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

I am also writing to the OFT and here is my letter:

 

Complaint against HFO Services.

 

I am writing to yourself regarding the above company and their actions that I am unhappy with and urge you to investigate this.

 

In early April HFO Services contacted myself on a mobile number they claim I had supplied to them in 2003. This phone number in question did not go live until 2005 and in December 2009 it was signed over to my partner to go on her mobile phone contract account. This to me is a breach of The Data Protection Act by incorrectly gaining data for their personal gain.

 

During this conversation they first claimed I owed a large amount to them regarding a Barclaycard debt. During this call they wanted me to confirm to them my personal details which I refused to do, and during this they accused me of trying to avoid my debts and call the police. I then advised them that I was to terminate the call and they should contact the debtor in question via post as this was not myself.

 

On 16th April they sent me a letter which to me are basic threats on what they can do regarding the account (copy attached). I also responded to this letter on 18th April asking them to prove this debt is owed (again a copy attached).

 

During this time I set up an account with Equifax to view my credit file and I was disgusted to see that they have placed a record on my file but under a different name xxxx at a previous address. With a last delinquent date of 08/05 and default placed In July 2005. When my credit report was created with updates on 13th May this entry was changed by HFO Services and Equifax to Mr xxxx with a default date of August 2005. Both entries have last updated 08/2010. I have taken a screen shot of theses and included them for your attention.

 

I have also contacted equifax regarding these entries and they responded that the company concerned advised its correct and will stay on there and a message from them urging I contact them regarding the debt. I do not appreciate a credit reference agency acting as a messenger to pursue the debt.

 

On 21st May I received copy of what looks like statements from barclaycard via HFO Services regarding this account the 1st statement from July 2005 with 1 payment then 18 months worth of none payment (again copies attached). I responded to this letter on 23rd May (Copy attached), asking them to provide me further evidence within 7 days and if no response I Would consider this matter to be closed.

 

On 17th June HFO Services contacted me again with a very appalling copy of an application form (copies attached). But when you look at all the information that was supplied with this is suggests to me it was also requested at the same time as the first letter to them was received asking them to prove this debt was owed by myself.

 

Today I am writing to HFO Services placing this account into dispute as I firmly believe this not to be my debt (copy for your reference).

 

I now feel I have exhausted all possible avenues with this company and would greatly appreciate your input on this matter.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

 

 

Mr xxxxxxx

Er, no way, Experian. They cannot act as a messenger for HFO. If HFO have confirmed to Experian that the info is correct when it is not (why else would Experian delete your correction?) then, IMO, HFO's actions have become extremely vexatious.

 

I think a letter before action to HFO us now required, as well as the complaint to the ICO. Copy in the OFT.
