    • @BankFodder sorry for the delay and thank you for the lengthy reply. Yes, I agree. It's a small business and the guy is very very decent. I know someone else said my priority shouldn't be worrying whether he gets shafted but I'm not here to try and screw him over because I feel like if someone behaves decently and gets exploited, they might not behave so kindly in the future. I know DX mentioned he thinks I've caused the issue by leaving multiple instructions, but I have already explained why and both instructions were to leave it with a neighbour and there was nothing advising the driver to abandon the parcel on my doorstep. I don't think leaving it there could be considered a safe place.  I am still waiting on the retailer to respond. Ultimately, I wanted to know how he would proceed if DPD's response isn't favourable. I am certainly not looking to cause any problems. I just want my laptop. I will read the other posts for sure. I've been a bit preoccupied with family stuff. I have nothing in writing from DPD as I phoned them, but they did advise it should be the retailer that liaises with them. I tried contacting the driver straight after deliver via Whatsapp, as that's an option, but it said I couldn't send him a message and I have kept that log. We all know who took the parcel on our street, because that person has a history of parcel theft, but I don't have a doorbell camera or cctv. Police are refusing to intervene, despite the fact that I, along with several other people, spotted another's neighbour's parcel in said "suspect's" car and confronted her to get the parcel back. If the police had acted sooner, I might have had a better chance of getting the parcel back, but I suspect the laptop has long been sold on.  When the retailer responds, I will send him the link to this thread. Hopefully, he will benefit from the information on here as well.
    • @dx100uk none of the instructions advised them to leave the parcel on my door step and without such instructions., I'm struggling to see why they think it's ok to just dump it there.
    • I have checked. No recording was triggered by the camera - I don't have loop recording, only proximity and vibration sensor triggered recording - abs and since he took photos from afar and did not physically touch my car - no recording was done. 
    • He also useing he girlfriend to phone and mesage people as well
    • No TIC sheet with journeys history as I can see within the letter pack. Should there be one? Maybe they didn't look into it thoroughly?  No other pleading letter, only the one from above.

    • 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.

They're currently being a real nightmare!

 

I took out a loan, and I kept paying the interest only for several months as I couldn't afford the repayments. I've had to cancel the DD as was getting nowhere fast and can see the never-ending debt cycle with them.

 

I have taken advice from the CCCS and their advice to me is to apply for a debt relief order. As this is a formal type of insolvency I wish to avoid this. I keep offering QQ repayments but they keep refusing; having read the forum it appears that their DCA's are pretty useless too and unwilling to set arrangements... any advice?

Hiya nottslad

Don't worry, just keep offering them what you can afford. Eventually they will pass over to a DCA (I'm having "conversations" with QQ's DCA at the minute - bunch of bully boys! - but that's all they are tbh). Don't offer any more than the original loan plus 1 mth interest. You will be ok I promise, just keep researching here and posting if you have any probs xx

I am tempted by going for a debt relief order, however I'm moving shortly and wouldn't want to rule out the possibility of changing jobs, and most employers credit check!

 

Lowell Financial who hold 3 of my debts (capital one and vodafone) have been brilliant. I sent them CCCS income and expenditure and they've accepted £5 per month off debts in excess of what I owe QQ!

Hiya

Unless it's security related your employer won't want to do a credit check. I have worked in finance for a number of years and although I've been CRB checked, I haven't been credit checked, or at least if I have it didn't matter!

I think banks need you to have a sqeaky clean record before employing you (acceptable) but this was jaw dropping, I went for a job with a well known insurance company and was declined becauise of debt problems and that was in a call center beggars beleif

Just keep making the offer to pay if they decide to go further it will in your favour to have done so.

alternatively if you are willing to pay set up standing order for just what you can afford after taking into

account all other calls on your income.

Had a text message from them today offering a reduction in the balance for payment in full, can't help but think this is a tempting offer, but then if I do go for formal insolvency I'm at risk of treating them as a preferential creditor and would be in trouble with the OR...

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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, dx100uk! I was not aware of that policy. I’m sorry! Because we value privacy and handle highly sensitive information for our customers, we will not and can not discuss details of a person’s loan on a public forum, which is why we direct them to contact us. Plus, every customer’s situation is unique and we handle them accordingly. I'll be sure to refrain from posting our phone number.

 

Having said that, my account has been verified by consumeractiongroup, and I am an official representative of QuickQuid. I’m here as a resource and I will do my best to offer any advice I have for users on this forum. Please feel free to PM me or ask any general questions you may have. If I can help, I would be more than happy to.

 

Thanks!

Quickquid rep -

 

Although settlement has been agreed, I am still not 100% happy with the service I have received.

 

I sent several emails detailing my financial difficulty, requesting a temporary payment arrangement etc.

 

On one instance I asked for details of the regulator or how to complain as I wasn't happy with the advice I was given. A very rude response came and told me a manager would phone within 48 hours - I never heard anything.

 

The FSA sets out guidelines called Treating Customers Fairly, part of which is being sympathetic when customers are in financial difficulty. I sent you documentation from the Consumer Credit Counselling Service. One of your advisors suggested I contact a private debt management company, which again, breaches regulation as they are not financial advisors, also a private company would charge where CCCS offer free services.

 

Several times I have had to chase up an email confirming a payment would be accepted as full and final settlement - I have only received this this morning ans suggests a different amount to that which had been agreed on the online chat facility with Cherise in your collections team!

 

If it weren't for the fact I wanted to get rid of your company from my life, as at one point your unsympathetic collections team drove me to the brink of suicide, I would continue this complaint and expect some kind of compensation, escalate to the press etc, which believe me, I would have no qualms of doing.

 

Your response would be much appreciated

Hi Nicole

 

So can you tell me why mine was sold to a DCA called MacKenzie Hall and then in turn to a debt collection agency called JBDR? I spent ages trying to resolve my account with you guys (there are 76 emails in my QQ folder in my inbox!) and after rolling over my loan 3 times and not being able to afford any more I asked for help. You point blank refused my offer of £50 per month temporarily until my priority debts were paid up and sent my account onto a DCA which included more charges! I paid £127.50 interest 3 TIMES on a £600 loan so you have already got £382.50 interest and are now asking for £739.50 but refuse to set up a payment plan! Would you mind explaining huh?
