      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By tobyjugg2 · Posted

      So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have they actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?

      Letter before Action - Negotiation not going well

      By Restart · Posted

      Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.

      Hi all, Many thanks for the advice! Unfortunately, the reply to the email was as expected…   Starbucks UK Customer Care <[email protected]> Hi xxxxxx, We are sorry to read you received a parking charge after using our Stansted Airport - A120 DT store. Unfortunately, the car park here is managed by MET parking.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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,

 

Great forum, I'm really glad I found it in time.

Just been informed by Quick Quid that my debt has been passed to Mackenzie Hall.

They won't have my correct details as I know QQ didn't.

Does this mean they won't be able to enforce a CCJ ?

How quickly do they normally contact you after the debt has been passed over ? And do they ever turn up and do doorstep collections ? The address they have is my parents so wouldn't want them doing that.

 

Any help much appreciated

 

Thanks,

I imagine they will attempt to make contact almost immediately.

 

When you say "passed on".. are QuickQuid no longer the owner of the account eg they have assigned/sold the account to MuckHall ?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for the advice.

I took out the loan whilst living at my parents house, I've since moved house so they'd be writing to me at the old address.

 

 

If I simply just ignore them forever what would happen ?

They will send letters addressed to you to your parents address, harass them on the phone and generally just be a pain in the rear for your parents.

 

IMO I would give them your correct address, unless you don't get on with your parents? As already said, there is nothing muckyhall can do anyway, they are not bailiffs, how much is this for? Why can't you pay it back? Have you attempted to contact QQ and arrange a reduced payment with them?

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!

This is not a debt avoidance forum but where anyone can turn to and obtain advice on how to deal with companies who are demanding cash from you. If you owe this money ignoring firms like Mhall won't help you in the long run. Going back to the original creditor and trying to arrange an affordable repayment plan might be the best way forward. If they refuse and insist you deal with Mackenzie Hall then demand to see all the documentation that proves the debt exists and that they have the proper right to collect.

I can only really afford £20 a month at the mo. Surprisingly however the debt does not show on my credit report. Can they add it on at a later date ? They don't have my parents phone number so can't hassle them.

Not trying to avoid it in the long run but could do with buying myself some time.

Ok have you checked all 3 main CRA's as I have seen lately Call Credit is not always up to date.

Is £20 stretching your finances with regard to priority debts?

OK I understand,

They have a maximum of 6 (six) months in which to register the default on your credit file, but it is usually done a lot sooner.

 

TBH and IMO that £20 could be reduced by 50%? Unless you really do have that much disposable income that you can afford that each month?

 

Look it is a pay day loan, these ARE NOT priorities by any means, it's not as though you have fallen behind with your rent or council tax, one of which could see you homeless, the other seeing you serving time in Her Majesty's pleasure!

 

So you MUST work out what YOU can realistically and comfortably afford to pay each month, work out your own I&E form http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/budget_sheet.php?country=england_wales

 

You DO NOT have to give this personal and confidential information to Moorcr@p, QQ or anyone else EXCEPT a Judge, who is legally trained & qualified in making accurate decisions on this information.

Thanks for all the advice, turns out they have sold the debt to Jbdr not Mackenzie Hall, the guy is an idiot, I've requested that they send me the original agreement and proof that they can collect this debt but I keep getting the same email asking me to ring them even though I've said I won't communicate with them over the phone.

 

On the issue of 6 months to register a default, now they have passed on the debt will they be able to do this ?

 

I keep checking my experian account which is normally quite up to date but I see nothing about defaulting on QQ.

Defaults should usually be placed with in 6 months but some rogues will do it when they feel like it

and the CRA's accept it.

Mackenzie Hall better known in the refind confines of CAG as the KIlmarnock Cowboys a pond life debt purcase and debt collection agency

that seems to specialise in statute barred debts or those that other companies have given up on.

I have beaten them every time I have had dealings with them.:madgrin:
