    • 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.

Hello Vinny

Welcome to the site!

Take a look at the FAQ http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faq.php

and open up a thread in the Barclays section, there you can get all the help you require.

There is a spreadsheet available to work out your interest, to be found in the library.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/

All the best with your claim, keep us posted.

What actually is the extra £511?

It is not out of the ordinary - I presume that you sent the letters by recorded delivery?

 

Assuming you did, then just proceed to the next stage - although I am not aware what this "third" letter would have been since the step-by-step only mentions two.

Not a serious problem, but it reduces any credibility when they claim they have not received the letters. However, a court will accept that they have been delivered providing you have kept copies.

 

I would now just move on to the next stage - eventually they will have no choice but to respond.

Hi :)

 

I am a just a few days ahead of you. I sent my letter off to barclays yesterday saying thanks but no thanks, I also tried to ring Laurence White to discuss my claim and it's a waste of time, as it took me three days to get in touch and then it was his collegue that called me back to say that basically that was the offer take it or leave it. I have now given them 7 days to pay up or I will start my claim with intrest and court fees. I have also incurred another charge last friday which I have added to my list of charges as you can change the amount up to the point where you do a money claim. I will keep my eye on your progress.

Barclays wil probably acknowledge in the next few days - this gives them 28 days to file a defence. At the 28 day point they will defend. The Court will then send a copy of the defence and an allocation questionnaire for you to fill in and send back wthin 14 days. Then you wait maybe 3 weeks until the court tells you when you get a hearing or whatever.

 

You will have plenty of time to read the posts in the forum to see what happens.

Hi Vinnyk67

 

I am at the same point as you. We sit back and wait and read up!! And as far as I know, they have 28 days (as you also know), and thereafter the courts will send us an Allocation Questionnaire and we will then have to send this along with all our documentation to Barclays, which we intend to raise in court.

Anyone else agree?
