    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

Though come to think of it, Ebay does actually offer a credit account for your fees if you register a credit card for payment of those fees.

 

(Ebay will take your account fees (listing and Final Value Fees) on a monthly basis direct from your credit card.

 

Ebay's User Agreement also restricts membership to over 18s.

 

NCO are pursuing this alleged debt on behalf of Ebay, who have either not told NCO to desist or because NCO's left hand doesnt know what the right hand has been told, and will continue to pursue until they again are told not to by Ebay.

 

It is Ebay that you need to contact, as they are the data controller.

 

NCO will not take a blind bit of notice of any template letter from here that that you send, claiming they are merely doing their lawful job on behalf of a client.

 

I went through something similar last year with Paypoo.

Kimmy01 did they speak to you that's the question? I would love them to speak to me so that I can put the phone down on them. I guy phoned up twice in 45 minutes and asked for Heartlands Hospital. My daughter answered the first time and I answered the next time and when he said is that "Heartlands Hospital", I replied are you Heartlands, he laughed and put the phone down. I've just come to the conclusion that they haven't got a brain cell between them at NCO.

As bed32 has said, citing Trading Standards as a kniggit in shining armour with regards to NCO's breaches of the OFT's guidelines is simply holding out false hope.

 

Been there, done that. Had to carry out an unrelenting campaign of my own against Paypal and NCO myself to finally get Paypal to see that there was no debt to be collected and to get NCO off my back.

 

Was very, very hard work, with automated phone calls coming two or three times every day.

 

Even two months after Paypal finally realised they had been paid, the phone calls from NCO, demanding payment, stated again and I had to make the problem public by telling the World about it on Ebay's Postage and Payment forum.

 

Tell you what though- Paypal's liason rep reacted very rapidly when she saw Paypal's "Safe and Secure way to send and recieve payments online" nonsense exposed for the nonsense it is.

 

That would be my advice for you- go on to Ebay's P&P forum and slag Paypal, NCO and Ebay off to the roof tops. You will get a more helpful response that wat than from Trading Standards.

They rang again, and I asked them EXACTLY what the debt is for - and they said paypal-related ebay charges - a chargeback from a buyer to an account with your telephone number attached to it.. but not my address. Wtf?!

I asked them 'can you please give me more details about who the person you are trying to find?' and they just said sorry we cant give you any more information as you are not the 'account holder'. Agh bastards. I'll sleep on it and if they call tomorrow again I'll request information in writing and see what they say.

Then I advise you to call Consumer Direct (the point of contact for Trading Standards) and request that they contact NCO Europe with a demand to cease and desist, and to conduct any business in writing.

 

Cease and desist letters just encourage NCO.

 

Trading Standards? Dont make me laugh.

Wait just a (*(*&%(* minute.

 

My advice to contact Consumer Direct was given in the light of the following FACTS.

 

(a) lai1 said that he/she did not want NCO finding out the address and therefore a letter was out of the question. A letter giving no address is useless as they will (rightly) ignore it.

 

(b) I have been party to MANY threads on this site where Consumer Direct/Trading Standards have direclty helped by writing to organisations and getting them to back the hell off. When TS write to Wescot, for instance, Wescot sit up and take bloody notice. I see no reason why NCO would be any different.

 

© I stand by my comments regarding PayPal and EBay. Neither offer credit. They charge their fees directly to the funds source for the account at the end of each month in which fees occur. The fees are paid in full at the end of each month. The fees could not be charged anything other than in arrears as they cannot be quantified in advance. This is not credit, and you do not sign a credit agreement regulated by The Act - therefore they do not provide credit.

 

Now - if anyone would like to publicly challenge my knowledge on these subjects then let's have a good old fashioned argument in another thread for the purpose. BUT let's not confuse the very people we're trying to help by having a row about what is the best advice to give them. It's downright unhelpful to ANYONE reading this thread who will no doubt now be thoroughly confused about what the best course of action IS.

Cheers for that, v handy and will be making use of it just to wind all the b&gg8r5 up

 

:D

 

Also , just noticed that they have added an online facility (free) to the 1571 answerphone service

 

It lists the number that called, date, time and duration and even gives you the option to save sound files of the messages to desktop

 

Particularly handy for me as I've had loads of messages left from one CCP that has completely failed to provide a copy of the executed agreement (not even an app form)

 

So as they in very hot water for attempting to chase this debt and I now have proof of each and every unlawful attempt that I can easily show to the court, I am rather chuffed with BT! (and trust me, I never thought I'd write those words)

 

Happy Easter Everybody!

I HOPE they GIVE ME A JOB..............

 

Hello, I want to know if you have any jobs on the go. I am arrogant, loud, ignorant, abusive and love putting the phone down on my customers. Additionally, I am able to harrass, send pointless letters and intimidate members of my clients family. I understand that your policy is to call people and not say who is speaking...and when asked, to put the phone down on them and abuse innocent people upto as late as 9pm even though children are in bed.

 

I feel that I am most suited to this position because, like your other staff, I am a complete waste of space, have very little communication skills or qualifications and am desperate to earn pathetic wages for long boring hours being bossed around by gormless team leaders.

 

I hope you will consider me for the position of "Mr Telephone Caller" at your Preston office in the UK. I love Preston, it is such a fabulous bustling city with lots of fast food joints and loose women. I will fit in perfectly there.

 

Lots of love

Your future employee and bestest friend in the wurld
