    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised 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.

Dear All.

 

I stupidly got a £100.00 loan from CFO. Due to their practices and excessive fines, I contacted the Financial Ombudsman. They are looking into my case and are investigating these cowboys.

 

A few weeks passed after the investigation got underway and I receive a phone call today from Carter & Co (Debt Collectors) stating that the debt has been sold onto them. I explained that the Financial Ombudsman was investigating CFO and I was instructed by the Ombudsman not to pay anything until the investigation had concluded. They did not know anything about this and were annoyed!

 

Anyone have any ideas how I can go about this? CFO are obviously selling debt that they should not be. They are well aware that the Ombudsman are investigating them and still they sell the debt on? Is that even legal?

 

Look forward to receiving your replies!

 

Cheers

David

Interesting, couldn't agree more with above poster but won't David also have to do a debt in dispute letter to the DCA, I hadn't realised they tried this trick with me too! I couldn't work out the charges it wasn't until a third party broke it down saying some of the charge was to go towards debt collection but I'd never heard from any debt collector !! although they certainly loved threatning it along with telling me the FOS would side with them etc etc, which is why they then 'walked' away !

 

I'd also make your troubles known to the BCCA (their trade association) that's the British Cheque & Credit Association

see www.bcca.co.uk - I did them and the FOS for CFO at the same time

Happy to share my experience but for your own protection, please check and double check what myself and other Caggers inform

Thanks for the replies guys. I have also contacted the BCCA as per your advice. A new situation has come to light I spoke to Bryan Carter & Co today (very unprofessional to say the least). They threatened me with court action, then they stated that a debt collector would be knocking at my door within the week....oh and they also said the debt collector would be accompanied by a lock smith incase I did not answer. He also gave me a very childish name and put on a voice in which he sounded like some sort of gameshow host. I done a bit of digging and managed to get the Email address of a partner in the company so hopefully this should sort it out. The email is below:

=============================================

Dear Sirs.

 

I am writing in regards to a telephone conversation earlier today with regards to a debt which was passed to you from Capital Finance One. Hopefully you can obtain my details from the subject information.

 

I received a call from telephone number - 07049011055 on my mobile today. I unfortunately missed the call as I was working. However after calling back and giving my information, I was aghast at the attitude of the person who answered. He more or less said this was going to court, he further stated that a debt collector would be at my door to collect items from my home to the value of the debt owed. He also stated that the "collector" would be accompanied by a locksmith. This apparently is incase I do not answer the door. He also gave me a fake name when I asked him to spell it, all I got was childish banter. I.E. ' N ' for Nickers!

 

I explained to a lady last week from your company that Capital Finance One should not have passed the debt to you as the Financial Ombudsman are looking into a complaint with regards to CFO and their practices. I have now also contacted the BCCA with regards to their conduct. I spoke to the FOS to tell them that I was being chased by you guys for the money and they very kindly sent me a letter to send to you to confirm this, however when I asked for an Email address to forward the letter, the Email address was incorrect.

 

I have now contacted the FOS in regards to these threats by your colleague/employee, they gave me a number of the Ministry of Justice to complain about this, I called the MoJ however apparently you guys are not regulated by them, however they done a bit of digging and I believe your are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Unless I can have a very good explanation why this conduct has taken place, I will be reporting you to them, and also to the Police for threatening behavior. The threatening behavior being that your colleague/employee stated that a "collector" and/or a locksmith would enter my property without permission.

 

If you wish, you can call the FOS to check that my "excuses" are legitimate.

Tel: 0800 023 4567

 

I await your soonest response.

 

Best Regards

David Whyte

Not sure if that was the way to go, however its done now :???:

Morning :-)

 

As per my previous post, I have had some problems with Carter & Co.

 

I thought I found the correct people, however after sending an Email, they advised me that they never heard of me???

 

I contacted Capital Finance One, who have passed the debt to these cowboys, and I asked them of a mailing address & telephone number for them. They gave me the following info:

 

Carter and Co

Kirkdale Road,

Kirkdale House

Leytonstone

E11 1HP

Telephone number 01617381203

 

I cannot find anything on the net with regards to the company name, address or telephone number. When I call, they refuse to give me info and just keep saying the old chestnut - it's going to court if you do not pay. I cannot post links and thus cannot link back to my previous post.

 

Can any of this great community assist and possibly have an email address for these people?

 

Regards

Davie.

Well for a start they have no legal powers to break into your home. I am assuming that you were unable to record the call, what a fantastic result that would have been !!

We'll I bluffed I had the call recorded, however they hit me with "so is ours". They seem to be very unprofessional and have no interest in the fact that Capital Finance One are being invesigated by the FOS and now also the BCCA. Fools!

I am not sure, I see there is a Bryan Carter who everyone on the net is complaining about (they have a site dedicated to complaints about them). Capital Finance One was very hazy with the details. So to be honest I do not know who I am dealing with. They call now and again from a mobile number and hit me with some threats and abuse. They have not even sent me an official letter, however they feel they can still take this to court (while Capital Finance One are being investigated by FOS & BCCA) and threaten for debt collectors to arrive at my house armed with a locksmith incase I do not answer!....crazy!

I had a similar phone call from a company called Carter & Co, They demanded that I clear the outstanding balance before court and bailiff action. I made a payment in full to the account.

 

I managed to find out they are linked to a DCA based in Liverpool, The company's details are as follows:

 

Carter & Co

 

Managing Director a Mr Terry Sanderson 14/08/1958 Based in the lovely SW1 area of London!!!

 

These guys are ruthless!!

 

They all use ALIASES I spoke to a Sarah, Joe Middleton and a Mr Singh!

 

They did however offer me a settlement figure that was a reduction of about 60% of the TOTAL DEBT!

 

Mr Sanderson also has a number of financial interests in the pay day loan industry with WONGA.COM and QUICK QUID!! He is a major investor in all of these companies. I understand he oversees all the collections for all of the above companies!!!

 

VERY FISHY!! Type Terry Sanderson in Google and you will see his IMAGE

Im scared they will come to my house and hurt my family. Are they allowed to just turn up and take my car? My debt is only £300!!!

Simply put, no they cant. If they telephone again, just ask them to put what ever they have to say in writing. Even better if you have the facility to record the call then do so. If you need more advice, please start your own thread. :)
