    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments. 
    • I'd get back to them tomorrow, and explain the circumstances, that you have a wedding reception, and just appeal to their better nature. Hopefully they will be able to move sooner rather than later, especially if you go in in person and speak to them, and show them the issue.
    • The 3 pieces of mortar that fell on the same day, at the same time, were approx. 25-30cm long and weighed around ½-1 kilo each from a roof that is above the 2nd floor; they were by no means tiny pieces of mortar but large chunks falling from a rather great height. I believe the size and weight is enough to cause serious injury and if it falls on your head, I assume it could potentially be lethal if unlucky, but we don't wish to put that theory to test... We can't in good conscience let a contractor install a patio and a gazebo as it is in the exact spot where the mortar fell, nor do I think anyone would be willing to take the chance. Looking at the roof, there are multiple other remaining pieces from the same 'line' or 'row' of mortar that can potentially fall. The mortar is right underneath the slate tiles on the neighbour's roof and I don't know whether the tiles are also (becoming) lose due to the loss of the mortar. I was trying to upload a photo but it seems it's not allowed. The first contractor to work in our garden in preparation for the patio and gazebo is scheduled to start on 10th June, that leaves the neighbour 5 workdays to sort their roof which is unlikely, so it seems we will have to postpone our patio contractor without knowing when they can come back. We have already had extensive work done in the garden in preparation for the wedding reception and it will become very costly for us if we have to move the wedding reception to a venue (if we can even get one at this short notice) rather than have it at home which was our dream.
    • Is this sufficiant for a letter of claim  ? Letter Of Claim       Reference: Techzone Mobile Phones Samsung A71 Mobile Phone £140 Purchase date 29. 5. 24     I the claimant purchased a 2nd hand Samsung A71 mobile from Techzone Mobile Phone unit 10 of the indoor market at the Potteries shopping centre. Initially the phone worked well until I used the camera and found debris in the camera lens spoiling pictures making it not fit for purpose. I contacted the seller who offered a replacement which I initially accepted but later rejected and wanted a refund in full which the seller refused saying they Do Not give refund is unlawful and goes against the Consumer rights act 2015. Therefore I intend to issue proceedings against you in a county court without further notice unless you reimburse me the above amount in Full within 7 days from the date of this Letter     ------------------------------------------    I think its best if i hand him the letter as posting it might not get through so can claim expenses traveling up there ?   or would it be best to just post and get 'Signed for'  ?   Should i also put in the letter of claim interest added or leave that till the Particulars letter ?

    • 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 azzadle

 

I am in the same position as you but I havent heard from them since last June when they took £75 [EDIT] from an account I had only had opened for a week. When I took out the loan with them I banked with Barclays this new account was with Lloyds TSB so still dont know how they managed to get the debit card details. When I emailed them on the address that I had done several times before telling them I would be reporting them to the police [EDIT] the email came back as not recognized I havent heard a thing from them since not even from this MT Collect or anyone else that people have mentioned on this site.

Dear Ell-een

 

No i had only opened the account about two previous to my salary going in and had not been on the internet what was so mad the bank wouldnt accept it as fraud they said because I owed them money it wasnt classed as that. When I asked them how have they got my card details with Lloyds TSB when I banked with Barclays when i got the loan and they couldnt answer. I emailed Capital One and told them I would be reporting them for fraud the email came back as not a recognized website even though I had emailed them before with the same address. The last I heard from them was last July when they said my account had been passed to Daniel Silverman I sent him a letter saying I would pay £40 a month and thats the last I have heard. I havent heard anything from this awful MT Collect or anyone else.

Did you give your new card details to anyone at all ? either by entering it onto a site to buy something, or over the phone? We need to explore every avenue to see how CF1 could have got your new card number - someone somewhere is passing these details to them and we need to prove how it's done.

Dear Ell-enn

 

I never buy anything off the internet but what I couldnt understand is that they never tried to take anything from my Barclays account which was the bank I was at when I took out the loan but as soon as I changed banks they then took out £75 in 3x £25 instalments. I suupose I was one of the lucky one's as I have heard stories on here where they have wiped someone's bank account out. They have not taken anything since but I am still wary everytime my salary goes in.

I really do think you need to get a crime number.

 

As I see it, this is fraudulent activity and as such a report to these will be a start

Have now recieved a letter from these people on Friday threatning legal action against me. The amount is now £690 for a £200 loan. Usual crap saying that if i dont respond to a summons they can take goods or I could have a attachment of earnings order blah blah. Can anyone give me any advice what to do should I reply to them telling them to foxtrot oscar or should i ignore them. They have rung me which I have ignored i havent had any threatning texts yet. I sent Capital One loads of emails they also commited fraud by taking money out of an account they didnt have details for. I then sent a letter to Daniel Silverman's and this was ignored. Would just like some advice on what my next course of action should be.

Hi silverfox1961

 

Do you think I should reply to the letter. Just worried that if I do they will start sending me threatning text messages as they have already been trying to ring me on my mobile.

If it was me they were dealing with, I would encourage them to go to court. Calling their bluff is high on my list.

 

You could write back and inform them that their threats don't work.

if they start sending the texts, you already know they are rubbish.

 

The amount of tea and biscuits wasted on them not actually turning up must be horrendous :madgrin:

Had a text message from Capital Finance One saying that my account is in default and that if I dont make an arrangement for payment then i will be passed to a credit reference agency blah blah blah. I have tried on several occasions to set up a repayment plan with this company and have had no response. At the beginning they took £75 out of a new account without my consent. I have tried to set payments up with the company & Daniel Silverman to no avail.

I have also had one text from MT Collect.

They have put on the recent text asking me to go on their website and set up a direct debit has anyone else done this and had any problems i am reluctant to give them my bank details as they have a reputation of wiping peoples banks accounts out.

If you set up a direct debit with them they can then take money from your account - you need to be in control of payments. Ask them for their bank details and if you have internet banking pay that way - make sure you quote your account number and name on any payment transactions.

Ask for their bank details for a SO- Do Not give them bank details. I took out a loan with them last year, they helped themselves to everything in my bank account ( double the loan amount). I then find out that they want more money as this was "just interest" I too have been ridiculed, threatened etc by them, I have also today received the same text! I have advised them that I have a solicitor and that I require their details. Hope you get sorted

Set up a parachute account to secure your money. With your account you have atm, cancel the debit card, and get the CPA cancelled on the account.

 

Regardless of payment plans etc, you MUST secure your money above all else.

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..

dear renegade- that is a sound option! My loan has been repaid more than tripple the amount yet they still help themselves. I've a new bank account now I have told them I have a solicitor and until they give me their details then nothing will be settled! It's shocking how rude abusive and childish their staff are and they hang up too then send threats!

Unfortunately thats how all PDL's are. They throw around threats, and harass debtors with anything they can, purely to get money from them. It's why we call them legal loan sharks.

 

Get that new account set up with a bank that isnt in the same banking group as your current one and secure your money. Then we can help you write a full complaint to CFO outlining your position, and what will happen if ANYTHING happens regarding your account, as no debt exists.

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..

Recieved an email from these on Wednesday. I stupidly took a pay day loan out from these and because i missed a payment and explained the reason my amount went from £200 to over £500 so my account has been in dispute for about 18 months now.

I have had emails telling me to set up a direct debit to clear the account but am reluctant to do this as they are known to wipe peoples banks accounts out.

This latest email is a classic they have offered to reduce my debt to £200 and offer me a further £70 which I am really going to do. Has anyone else had this email just dosent seem legal to me but is anything they do legal.
