    • no DCA is a bailiff end of neither do they have any legal powers whatsoever. i would write to everyone simply giving your current abroad address , inc proof of residency. that will stop all threats going to anywhere else.  
    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.

    • 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
