    • My ex blamed me for her not paying her bills she says I controlled her money. So I have been told I need to pay them as it was my fault. She has not paid the bills where she lives now which was my house. I'm not allowed contact with her and again she is blaming me. As in this type of case it is victim led so no matter what stupid thing she says she is believed. It is for me to prove otherwise.
    • No SAR yet but they have confirmed via email that they have everything and will supply it by this month end.    When you say the FOS considered it a personal loan due to personal guarantee who is the FOS? Financial Ombudsman?  But then that doesn’t make sense as they haven’t been involved yet.    Santander in their final response to my original complaint did not agree to it. They turned my complaint down and specified that the selling dealership had agreed to treat it as personal for settlement purposes.    I guess they could not agree to it as then they would be guilty of miss selling but they gave me what I wanted by saying I would not get treated as a business customer in regards to finance charges.    Awful bank to deal with. Will never touch them again. 
    • Background I am in dispute with Clerical Medical over, amongst other things, statements that I haven't received. They didn't resolve my complaint in time so invited me to complain to the FOS, which I did The FOS investigator in his findings has written that  Clerical Medical have mow provided all missing statements apart from two. One of these is for the policy year 2021 - 2022, which they say is unavailable due to a system migration. I have twice asked the FOS investigator for a copy of his screen shot to try and resolve this discrepancy but they have ignored me so today I submitted a subject access request. I said I was primarily interested in the screen shot but I also asked for everything they held against the complaint reference number. The response I got from firstly the Data Protection Operations Senior Coordinator, then secondly the investigator was that  The investigator expanded on this and said I'll wait the 40 days and see what they come back with then make a decision on next steps at that point, but I want to make sure I've got my facts in the right order before I start arguing with them. They seem to be saying that my SAR doesn't cover the screen shot because it isn't personal data but I disagree. I have a reference number that identifies my complaint and therefore indirectly identifies me. I think that means everything that is held against that reference number, including the screen shot, is my personal data and is in scope of my SAR (subject to exemptions). Who is right?

    • You sure it's a Section 48 notice? Section 48 notice is just telling you who your landlord is. Have they sold and they're just telling you who your new landlord is or is it an actual eviction notice? Might be best scanning it up just in case here.

    • 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.

Thanks

 

Ok one last question , would it not be beneficial to me to get my free irish credit report online ? There is a website which provides within 5 days.

 

WON'T THIS CONFIRM STATUTE BARRED? Or is there any risk involved. I will use my old Irish address.

 

I am certain statute barred but if I actually get the report any mention of this will be deleted correct

Quick one , the SB letter refers to English law does anyone have the right names/links for the equivalent irish legislation ? I can't really refer to uk legislation for an Irish debt

 

Can I just take the specifics out of it and say basically 'alleged debt not proven and I have asked for last correspondence of alleged debt which has not been provided, please stop hassling me'

For the RoI The Statute of Limitations, 1957 and the Statute of Limitations (Amendment) Act, 1991 imposes a limit on the right of action so that after a prescribed period of six years any action will be time barred.

 

Ok so the sb letter has resulted in this

 

Because I offered to settle earlier in the year that is being taken as proof of acknowledgment of debt , which to

Me

It's not as

I also asked for proof of the debt at the same time ? How can I have acknowledged a debt before the proof was

Provided? Legally am I in a bad place ?

 

One

More thing , if I cave , this cannot be

Entered now on my file can

It ? As I said before my file is now clean , they are now 'proceeding' is this a bluff ?

how did you offer the settlement?

 

dx

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...

If there is any clear period of six years it is SB & admitting to the debt after that does not unbar it.

 

I sent an email offering to pay x amount but only if they provided proof of debt , they have since sent two documents one is a statement of account (with no signature but it has name , address , acc nunber etc) the other is dated 2003 and shows amount allegedly owed my name etc this doc looks weird dont know what this is, I would really love show it you but that's hard

 

I have now asked in three seperate emails for last correspondence and its been ignored , they are saying the offer constitutes admission I don't think it does , this was before I got clued up

 

Everything is via email Where do I stand now ?

Should I state this or call their bluff ? A big concern is if I ever go back I don't want this still on record , you have reassured me it won't be my file is currently blank

Six years after a debt is registered as in default on your credit file it automatically drops off & cannot be re-entered.

 

They are trying it on & personally I would either ignore them or if you prefer email them again reiterating that there was a period of six years where the alleged debt was not acknowledged nor payment made & as such it became SB. It is totally irrelevant whether any perceived admission of the a/c was made after that time as it does not unbar the debt. Remind them that if they continue to pursue you will make a complaint to their local Trading Standards & the OFT.

As I said, if there is any clear period of six years where you didn't make a payment or written admission then it is SB. It doesn't matter what happened after six years have elapsed it will still remain SB.

 

Going on a tangent here but just for my info , when someone does default and say eventually pays , does that disappear after 6 years.

Again curious , say I wait it out and they feel they have a legal case what should their next step be ? And when is it too late to make an offer ? I am nit going to do this and am convinced it's barred but would be good to know anyway just in case

Being SB is an absolute defence in any case they may bring although it is highly unlikely that they will.... unless of course they are terminally stupid. ;)

 

If they did pursue you would receive court documents asking how you pleaded & whether you wanted the hearing to be at your local court. If you got these papers you could then invoke the civil procedure rules (CPR) which means they would have to provide you with the evidence they intended to rely on in court.

If they send you another letter threatening court action you can pre-empt them by invoking certain sections of the CPR before you even get any court papers, but we'll hold back on that until if & when. :)

 

Get it thanks
