    • Today , after a lotof years i recieved a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we havent had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. uP TO 2000 I hadsucessfully gotten deferment on low income. But rarther thansign on as unemployed,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondance ceased from them, circa 2001. To date  I have had no correspondance from Student Loans. I was made  redundant in 2009 and  reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now ,today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4

    • 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.

Such knowlegdge from ones so young, i am truly gratefull, i have been trying to be realistic today, and face facts. Something i do know is, that we have paid huge amounts in PPI plus fees and interest to once respected firms, and many of them, i do hope to claim these back of course, but the harsh reality is i will not live long enough to pay all my loans mortgage off, the rest of my life will be spent worrying about things i cannot change,and battling for my stolen money! sorry for sad story, but this is how it is, Where i went wrong was to choose to be S/E as a qualified electrician, i can no longer do that now, i have to try and earn money, i build conservatories / decorating instead, but customers no longer have the money. we have worked all our lives to keep our lovely home. which we had dreamed of paying off one day, no chance! i firmly believe we would have been in a more stable position, had we not been ripped off by said greedy once respected firms! i must admit i had wondered how i was allowed to obtain the funds i did. was it a trap? is there a thread regarding irresponsible lending? sorry gloomy! regards Ro

Hi ro

 

Sorry to hear of your position...it must be hard for you.

 

But take heart that you can start to get even with these institutions by claiming back as much as you can.

 

If you have the stamina for it, then so does CAG and all of the members here.

 

We will support you and give all assistance you need so don't worry on that front.

 

As regards irresponsible lending, there are threads on here but I don't have a log of them myself. Maybe use of the site search facility would bring something up for you to look at.

 

Best wishes

 

ims

Oh, I wish ....

 

I am so sorry you are having a down day, Ro. We've all been there.

 

People still need builders/decorators/electricians. You should contact everyone you have ever met and ask them to pass on your details to everyone they know by email. Someone out there (more than one person I'm sure) will need your expertise.

 

The rest of your life shouldn't be worrying about all this, so let's see what we can do to help to resolve some issues for you.

 

PPI refund may or may not be a battle. Some companies fight less than others. Start the ball rolling on those refunds.

 

I don't know too much about irresponsible lending but I have read that it can be a very effective defence.

 

Start your MBNA/Abbey thread and post the link here. I believe someone was using irresponsible lending as a defence there.

 

The most important thing is that you pay the mortgage. Don't ever, ever, ever make a loan or credit card payment which means you can't pay the mortgage.

 

As ims says, if you have the stamina then CAGgers do too.

 

Hang in there.

Thanks for replies, i have today recvieved a reply to my SAR request, they write the following, =You requested copies of the executed credit agreement and a statement of your account under section78 of the consumer credit act 1974.as you may be aware , you brought your balance to zero with a final payment in monthxxx and we completed closure of the account on your request in 2002,Where there is no sum which is. or will, or may become payable under the credit agreement, then the obligation to provide documentation under section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 does not apply. therfore we have no obligation to provide you with a copy of the documents that you have requested. in regards to your request for information relating to PPI, i can confirm that under Data prootection act 1998 we are not obliged to send documents which do not contain any customers data.they did not include statements only lists.! however i do have some original statements from that time!they do nor realise this,there were also several computer prinouts (very small) which appear to be only relavent to them! also on one print out it reads PPI required YES, PPI2 required YES. yet it states on the agreement that i am S/E.they add if you wish to make a complaint, regarding PPI you must contact us seperately, setting out the reason for your compaint. however if PPI was added to the above account, your client was provided with all relavant details of the PPI policy including the t & c. details, any details paid can be found on the statements enclosed, there was only the final statement enclosed showing amount of 3 pence!! on a requirements form it states PPI cost 73. To be honest there are not many statements missing, as we paid this off early, the point of doing this account is to see how to proceed in readyness for much larger accounts,Any advice or thoughts please, regards Ro (apologies for block posting, i included spaces etc. but the result is still a block!)

Hi

 

Not familiar with that template.

 

You need to write back to them tellng them that they have not complied with your SAR and that they appear to have rsponded to a CCA request which is not what you had asked for.

 

Tell them that 40 days is still running and you expect to receive a full reply as required by the DPA within the permitted time.

 

Have they cashed your £10 payment?

Hi

 

There won't be a template for that....it will have to be in your own words just informing them of their mistake and that you look forward to receiving a proper response.

Ok i have written the letter, In their letter to me, they state that they include a set of my account statements covering the past 6 years, there are no statements, would this be because of the account being dated 02, therefore should i ask for account statements in restitution.or am i misunderstanding this term, Ro

Hi

 

Lets hold on 'cos now I'm confused.

 

They have written to you apparently talking about a S77/78 request and have also mentioned enclosing statements for the last six years which would normally be in response to a SAR.

 

Hold fire on your reminder letter for the mo.

 

Can you post up the letter you have received from them MINUS ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION, BARCODES ETC?

Hi ro

 

Thanks for those....I am off to work now but we will be on-line early evening.

 

You say you have some original statements from that time so that should be good enough for us to start working out the CAP1 claim.

 

I'll comment more when I get back this evening

 

Regards

Hi ro

 

Right, they have sent you a load of stuff with your SAR which is not really relevant to our claim calculations but is stuff that is relevant to a SAR in general.

 

As this account was closed in 2002 according to their letter it is very unlikely that you will get the agreement.

 

All is not lost though because you said in an earlier post that you have a good many of your original account statements, although you did say they were in a mess. Javer you dug them out and sorted them into date order? If not you need to do so since it is from these that we can start work on your claim.

 

Regards

 

ims
