    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

I have an agreement with quick quid with a outstanding balance of £447. I emailed them to explain that due to xmas/new year payment date changes i would not be able to repay the full amount and could I arrange a repayment over 3 months?

 

No reply to the email but they have taken £217 out of my bank without explaining what it is for or even asking for that matter. The card they used was cancelled after it was snapped by a over keen atm machine. Yet the bank payed out on it? The downside is that

now as a family of 5 we have no money for shopping or petrol for me to get to work. They have left us high and dry.

 

The bank are sending out a form for a charge back but this takes time. Would I have a case complaining to trading standards and the OFT regarding the taking of money without my consent. Is there anything I can do if I ring these [EDIT]?

 

Any help would be great.

Best to make a complaint first to Quick Quid - head it OFFICIAL COMPLAINT

 

Sadly the bank could also be accountable here - you see even if the card is replaced QQ will still access your funds - banks work with these type of lenders because of 'rolling contracts' - I'm no banker but really believe this element

 

Be careful because QQ can and do set up direct debits as a 2nd protection which maybe why you'll need to change bank/building society

 

From my own experience once your in some kind of repayment plan with QQ you will just not be allowed to change figures or future payments - understood that in a round-about reply entirely different to something else I was asking!

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

QQ only communicate with you on their terms. I notified them on 21 December that bank account had been closed; responded stating that they would contact within 24 hours; they finally did, today, by text, stating that there had been a problem with the transaction (really?!). Got on the phone to them. Well, my son did and then authorised them to speak to me. They stated that the £450 loan, £122.81 interest had now been increased by a further £133 because the payment had not been honoured. Hit them with dates and the consequences of not acting upon communications to them; informed them that they had been notified well in advance of the 30 December deadline and the fault was theirs. They then proceeded to transfer me, keep me on hold: the usual time-wasting tactics, so letter to Financial ombudsman will be posted tomorrow; Consumer Direct have already been notified. bart 70: inform them that the account is being closed (apparently they require 3 days notice); close it, and inform your bank that you have informed QQ that the account is to be closed and no further payments are to be levied against it. According to advice on other threads on this forum, they can't keep adding charges as they feel like it. I am writing to their London office now.

It sounds like you've got the bank onside regarding reclaiming the money, but in answer to your other question...yes, do report them to the OFT and TS.

 

As ASmileCostsNothing has already said, it's important that you open another account - they will try to set up DD's on your account, and even if you cancel them they might try to re-instate them.

To encourage you!

I have received a response from QQ resolutin centre: they have removed all charges, and interest from my son's account; all that has to be paid is the original loan of £450. I used the pdf on irresponsible lending available from: http://www.gov.uk/about-the-oft/legal-powers/legal/cca/irresponsible

My son has mental health problems, but the updates to the irresponsible lending documant also covers the rights of people to a reasonable amount of time in which to repay what they owe if the existing repayment period is causing extreme financial hardship to the borrower. The pdf is 80 pages long, but it is worth a read. I have submitted a case to the Financial Ombudsman Service, because payday loan companies do need to have their licences reviewed with regard to irresponsible lending, and I want to encourage you to persevere because when you hit them with facts about their irresponsible practices they will back down.

if it was by dd and they did not write to you stating the sum and the date

invoke the dd guarantee

 

if it was by the card

 

invoke chargeback

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...
