    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

Aha - threatening to call AT your work is a serious no-no - hope you've sent that to the OFT

I have been harangued by Carter Forbes

sending me texts and calling me for several weeks now, threatening doorstep visits etc.

 

I sent the doorstep letter three weeks ago;

it was ignored and I received more threats.

 

I have since reported them to the OFT etc., and on Friday last week sent a VERY strongly worded letter to this effect,

reiterating my 'in writing only' stance.

 

Today I have had a text asking me to 'close my overdue account by paying only the capital plus one months (sic) interest'

 

Since this all, I assume, refers to a Capital Finance One payday loan for which I have already paid back the capital plus several month's interest, I intend to pay no more.

 

Should I now SAR Capital Finance One and get this sorted once and for all, or should I ignore?

If you have paid the capital and more than one

month interest personally I would write as a final

response detailing what has already been paid in

accordance with their offer.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Agree with Brig. Plus, do you have bank statements/receipts proving your final payment of both capital and interest?

 

Make sure you keep copies of anything/everything you send and receive regarding this.

No, no reply as yet. They signed for my letter on 15th March so it's been over 2 weeks now. However I have asked them before for proof in writing of the status of my account but nothing has been received.

 

I assume they are waiting for me to pay £10 for a SAR.

I have had an email today from 'CFO Resolve' with the following message:

 

You can now apply for CFO Resolve and get a weight off your mind and up to £200 in your account today! In an effort to get your loan out of default with CFO Lending we would like to offer you our CFO Resolve product.

 

By taking advantage of this offer we will:

 

1) Remove all fines and interest currently on your account. We take your current outstanding balance, including all late interest charges £xx.xx and reduce it to the original £xx.xx that you initially borrowed!

 

2) Offer you a small top-up. We have an available £xx.xx that we can transfer to your account today!

 

3) Set your due date for you next payday. We will set the repayment date for your next payday where you can clear the new balance in full or defer if you choose too.

 

4) Get your account out of default with CRA’s We will advise the Credit Reference Agencies that we work with, that you have resolved your account, which may make applying for credit in the future easier!

 

The Resolve team has been specifically set up to help you get out of debt by reducing your balance.

 

Simply CLICK HERE and complete the simple application form, be sure to enter your details correctly so we can get the cash out to you as quick as possible!

 

Aside from the fact that I do not owe CFO any money (having paid off well in excess of the amount I initially borrowed and then some), surely this kind of email is illegal?

 

A loan to resolve a loan seems... dubious in the extreme!

 

Obviously I've moved it to my SPAM folder but should I report this to anyone?

Don't even think about taking up their "offer". We have heard of people who did apply for this "Resolve" and found they were declined the extra money into their account - not only that they had to give their new bank /card details and gues what ? CFO took the money from there to pay the money they were after in the first place. In other words this "Resolve" is a trap to get new bank or card details so they can take the money you owe.

 

Report that email to the OFT.

Oh, I absolutely won't be taking them up on the offer, but just wanted others to be aware. I'll forward the email to the OFT today, thanks.

It's a con used by CFO to harvest your details and strip account. As CB said, you MUST report it to the OFT.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

I don't know if I am posting this in the right section but I recently just cleared my account with these cow boys i had taken out a £200 pay day loan from them in 2012 but tragically I was in a bad car crash two months in to my new job so I was not entitled to sick pay and my account went in to default. As time went on the total balance including as cfo quote"fines" was sitting at £495. I started getting bombarded with offers for the cfo resolve offer stating that they will remove all fines from my account etc and take It back to the original loan amount of £200 and credit my account with another £50. To cut a long story short after lots of emails from CFO trying there bully tattics, and trying to bull s**t me by saying that I need to supply debit card details to qualify for the resolve. I stood my ground and told them if you can send me this CFO resolve offer to clear my account for the original £200 then you can accept my offer todAy to close my account for as previously stated £200. They eventually agreed on the £200 which I paid on the 31st of May however it still shows as default on my credit report and I Am trying for a mortgage just now. I emailed them today to get them to rectify it but not heard nothing. Is there anything else I can do as i am sure this company will not be willing to help me. Thanks G

One thing i did when i had defaults on my file was negotiate their removal with a F&F settlement. Granted, a few companies were not prepared to do it, but i managed to get rid of 3 defaults that way. After all, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi bombaymix, please pardon my ignorance but on my report it states balance satisfied but status default? I thought if you paid money due it is no longer default, can someone please explain? Thanks G
