    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again 
    • Gosh mate I've woke up this morning with half the worry I had last night when going to sleep!.  I can't believe how much this forum has helped me over the years and I don't  have the words to explain the gratitude I feel towards you guys -  Now that I've slept on it I feel ready to reject this company and my plan is to make them an offer to accept payments to date as full and final settlement - I will I think write them a letter once my review is completed or maybe just send it now whilst they are reviewing explaining my kids are unwell for which reason I'm struggling to survive and if I can politely request for them to accept payment to date as a full and final - I'll mention I don't have any cash or anyone to borrow from to offer a full or even part amount of the remaining balance of the iva and therfore am unable to make a offer of payment.   If they agree to at least even put my offer to the creditors then I feel it's better I hang in there and that way I won't have to deal with any possibilities of more defaults and ccjs    Right now the only adverse effects on my credit report are the iva that is now 3 years old and 2 Ccj one coming of this July and one thus October.    But I am worried new action will begin and new defaults and Ccj may start to appear because I've paying into an agreement im under the impression the 6 year rules starts again so yes I have lost of mixed feelings about this but I'm not going to lie you guys have put some life back into my breath this week as for the last 3 years I've felt caged like an animal and this morning I feel freer I can't explain how much but certainly my soul feel lighter today thanks to yin because I'm now viewing this review totally different to I do yesterday thanks to you guys

    • 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.

Got this the other day.

I requested my employment details for 1993 from the NI archives.

The alleged date that this crisis loan was taken out was 23rd April 1993. I was pretty sure I was in employment on that date and I'm assuming if that's the case you cannot apply for a crisis loan?

Is this letter definitive enough?

Unless I'm missing something, I don't think that proves that you were in employment on that specific date. :/

Welcome akinika! Feisty little buggers formerly Iqor I believe?

 

They first called Friday eve & a tart 'only in writing' soon got rid of him but then a second call came this morning!

 

Me: "You called me last night and I said only in writing"

Them: "We've sent you a letter, you may not have received it yet"?

Me: "So why are you calling after I said only in writing"? "This is now the second call, times and dates are being logged, if you call again I will raise a complaint of harassment"!

Them: "You can't do that Sir"

Me: "Oh, can't I"? "Only in writing please, do you understand"?

Them: "And when you receive the letter, you will act on it then"?

Me: "No". CLICK

 

I know I should have just hung up after 'only in writing' but I love to hear them squirm and hang themselves.

Sorry, typo in earlier post. 1993 is correct.

Hmmm 45002, I was labouring under the false understanding that if I could prove I was working on the date of this crazy alleged debt I could prove it was nothing to do with me.

I have since found out that at the time a 'crisis loan' could be obtained even if you were in work.

 

Not sure what you're getting at with the attachment in post #33? That the letter I got today from akinika?

whichever way it turns out DO NOT EVER PAY A DCA FOR A GOV'T DEBT

 

they DO NOT and WILL NEVER OWNTHE DEBT.

 

if you owe it

the only thing that can happen is 'eventually' they take a small regular payment out of any future benefits.

 

its up to you really what you do.

 

if you do find that you did have the loan

and there is a balance outstanding

 

theres nothing to stop you paying them sooner so's benefits aren't dipped into in later life.

 

don't forget this will Never be a priority debt anyhow

 

so minimal payments once you start.

This also happened to me as well,

DWP sent attachment to my employer for £235.00,

It was for a loan from 2001.

Never had any paperwork - my employer had to take deductions,

due to timescales paid in full,

wrote to the DWP as to date they have never replied

and now give up in getting my money back bunch of crooks the DWP

So make the Data Protection Subject Access Request which is free with DWP and ask for written proof of the particular debt. If they can't provide it, make a formal request for a refund to DWP head office and if no joy get your local MP involved.

We could do with some help from you.

'Prove it' letter (CC company payroll dept) plus SAR to DWP all ready to be sent off Monday morning.

 

Any suggestions for wording to send to payroll (I can easily email) to make sure it's stalled until resolved?

 

TIA

Kinda broke the golden rule by giving them a call,

(In my defence they're not a DCA) just to make sure they got the letter and what they're going to do about it really.

 

Actually got through to a really helpful bloke who, after I explained the supposed reasons for said alleged Social Fund loan, (to recap, 1993, I would have been 22, single, living in a bedsit and it was for bunk-beds) he agreed that something didn't seem right.

 

We came to an arrangement that involves him forward dating to October and him sending me a bank giro bill for £44. This will put a stop on the AOE order and give them time to investigate.

 

If nothing else it's stalled for a couple of months and I'll wait and see what, if any proof DWP will provide.

Thanks DX.

 

 

I kinda think I'm delaying the inevitable though.

 

 

If they've done what they've done so far with no evidence,

(and how can there be? Being 1993 they would have destroyed records by now)

 

 

I think they will just steamroller this farce through eventually even when they can't find anything :mad2:

so what is the bill for £44 they are sending?

 

Should they steamroller through and enforce this via a DEO then refer to post #43
