    • as this situation has now come up again for you, how confident are you that if you get on the straight and narrow with having a respite of 60days (Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)... would you then be able to resume ok? if not quite honestly, the very best thing you can do is to get ALL your debts defaulted by the issuance of and the registering of a Default Notice from each creditor. this is done by stopping ALL PAYMENTS, it wont hurt you short term, esp as all the debts are still with the Original Creditors. this of course will kill credit for 6yrs, but, will cause the debts to vanish from your file (paid or not, paying or not) on the DN's 6th B'day, but of course that wont mean the debts are not still owed, legally, just your file will be clear of them all. if you read a good 10-20 of the stories in this very same forum you found to start yours, you'll soon get the idea behind the advice given. as for things like IVA/BK etc NEVER EVER do those, that secures unsecured debt. just contact one of the free DMP providers and get breathing space implemented, that gives you a 60 day buffer to firm up your future actions. but DO NOT enter into a DMP, do one yourself. they can be a bit pushy, but simply insist you just want breathing space invoked, i would only be giving them enough info to achieve BS too, don't give them anything you don't need too, they are funded by the banks and debt collectors and can sometimes be over intrusive and nosy wanting info that is better not revealed. dx    
    • “Not realising it was a no parking zone” doesn’t help you if the timing is correct, as (at least, on Google Maps / View) there is clear signage ('7am to midnight', parked at 15:22) What might be worth pursuing is the "ticket handed to driver" aspect : do you have any view on why they would be  stating that?
    • it's 85k of turnover (well, now £90k). However, you're digging yourself into another hole here. That ship has probably long since sailed. Is it worth pursuing this? You're not going to get anything back from it either way.
    • Hi,   A few pointers from yesterday to take note of evris cpr 27.9 failed again so we should really make issue of this also their WX fail to comply with CPR so again we should take issue with their statement of truth  you cant get tort if you get damages under subsection 7 of CRA because its double recovery  - not sure what we think of this? however its the first time i saw the judges make reference to your non automatic rights from s49 which s54 and 57 assist with. We should start stating this specifically for claims as I think its much better than just 49 and 57 as we need to make it clear where our non automatic rights come from as 54 automatic frankly dont help  I have sent the claim form and defences to the admin email because I can’t upload them for some reason as it wont let me but thought this may help as its the first time we’ve taken tort to trial. although i think the DDJ was honestly struggling to understand some parts of the law because he was asking me about them and how he should interpret them, especially for the automatic. Will apply for transcript if you want it?

    • 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.

Since last Thursday,

 

I have received 3 texts from Scotcall saying "you have failed to contact Scotcall, please contact us on blah blah quoting ref blah blah".

 

Then today I had a missed call from them and a lovely robot left a message saying "This is a message for Katypie please contact Scotcall on blah blah".

 

Now, this is the first I have heard from Scotcall.

 

No letters, just texts saying I have failed to contact them.

 

The only thing I can think it would be for is an 8 year old debt.

 

Should I ignore these texts/calls and wait to see if I get a letter?

Ah but they like to get people on the phone so they can use their "psychology" on you. They would say things on the phone to out the frighteners on that they would never put in writing.

 

Golden rule is never talk to these pond life on the phone.

As advised above - completely ignore any texts or phone calls.

 

In case you pick up any call by accident, refuse to go through any security questions even confirming your name, do not get into any conversations with them, just say "in writing only" and hang up.

 

If the calls are coming through on your mobile phone, plenty of free app call blockers.

 

As IMS said above, speak to them and the phone monkeys will go into overdrive stating CCJ this, Bailiffs coming with a van etc. All rubbish and to get you to pay.

 

Until they write, just ignore but keep the texts and a log of the calls received for future reference.

Thanks for the advice. They have only phoned my mobile so far and I will definitely not be answering it and allowing them to try their jedi mind tricks on me.

I had a message left on my answer phone, turned out to be a PPI company. but it sounded so menacing

and they left no details, makes you wonder why they do it. A nice friendly voice would get a better response from people

You can block messages and numbers on most mobile phones quite easily, or do what I sometimes do, reroute the call back to their mainline number.... would love to hear the conversation with themselves!

Thanks for all your advice. Still haven't had a letter. More texts, last two were worded differently from the ones before and came from a different number and have had one more robot phone call. Might look into blocking them because it's getting a bit tedious now.

Be sure to put them on "Who calls me?" web site, I can ring them over the weekend and have some fun.

Hi,

 

you can send Scotcall the following letter from the Library... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?410-LETTER-USED-WHEN-A-DCA-THREATENS-A-DOORSTEP-VISIT

 

Sometimes, it has been known for someone to turn up, please remember that they have no legal powers, they are not bailiffs and tell them to get off of your property, if they refuse, call the police and they will remove them on your behalf.

scotcall use self employed local people -- history says -- they do call around -(forget which act of parliament you have to educate them about) and leave a card with their phone number - whatever you do don't enter it into any who calls me type website because that will mean the next person who googles the phone number -- will rumble what the game is -- and we don't want to spoil things
