    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Can you tell us more about what happened please? Who stopped you and which shop? Best, HB
    • You don't mention what the debts are, which is important, as it really depends on the details in deciding best course of action. So list types of debt e.g credit card, type of loan, utility bill; current owner bank or dca; approximate amount for each debt.  And do you own any property assets. There is no blanket advice regarding all types of debts. Whoever you contact regarding debt advice would want to know all of the information. The debt buying businesses deal with multi billions worth of debts. They can't issue Court claims for most debts as the cost of pursuing would be ruinous and don't have staff resources. Instead they rely on credit records being impacted and therefore people need to resolve the debts. And they rely on anxious debtors paying amounts after receiving threatening communications. If you know you are likely to be made redundant, start looking for other employment soon. Due to longer recruitment processes being followed by employers, it can take about 3 months between applying and starting a new job.
    • Hi I was caught shoplifting 4 items £20 worth, I’m petrified the Police will come to my house now please can you help. What can I do I worried about my job. 
    • I heard nothing more from J&P but have now had an email from the bank saying they have instructed IDR to act on their behalf?  so are they just passing it back? Selling it on again? I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing 
    • I posted a couple of years ago about our debt situation and have been trying to pay off our debt as best we can. It is a possibility I maybe made redundant in a few months time, so I am trying to find out everything I can about what happens in today’s world when you can’t pay. I keep finding conflicting advice on various sites so I wanted to post this quote to get thoughts. It claims basically that the dca will likely get enforceable documents these days and therefore it’s likely you will have to pay dca at some point during the 6 year process.    on here I read a lot of comments assuming the exact opposite of this. A lot of the threads on here state the beginning of the process but I never see conclusive stuff about what happened from start to finish to get insight into whether debts post 2015 have been enforced etc. I hear a lot here not to pay dca companies but most my debts are post 2015 debts I am all up to date on our debts but if I lose my job it is likely I’ll end up where I tried to avoid in the first place. Which is destroying our files and dealing with DCA. I’ll post it below so you can see what I mean.   It is likely that any debts incurred after 2007 will end up with all the documentation being provided and being enforceable. Therefore you should use the time while awaiting responses going through your Income & Expenditure and considering any possiblity of making a full and final settlement. It can take a number of months to reach the stage of a hearing date and exchange of witness statements and normally you would be able to settle or come to an arrangement to pay before the court hearing, once documents have been provided, although this isn’t guaranteed.

    • 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.

Hi! :)

 

Ooh, well done - where did you send your letter? I've put the address of the head of customer relations in London but wasn't sure if this was right? Did you send yours recorded?

Yep, I sent it to the same address - it's the HSBC head office in Canada Square. I also sent it recorded just to be sure it arrived safely - I thought that would be the prudent thing to do since it could be worth £1616!

Could someone answer a quick question for me please?

 

I've been reading through a few more posts today and now I'm worried! I sent off my prelim letter a week ago but, for the main, just used 'Total Charges' on my spreadsheet. Is this wrong? Should I have tried to break them down into exceeding overdraft etc?

 

Help!

 

Laura

Using 'Total Charges' is fine - as long as they're dated so that the bank can reference them if required.

 

Thanks SD! Yes, they're all referenced with the correct dates etc. Phew!

 

One week and counting 'til my LBA! :D

'Total Charges' are different to other charges, and can be claimed for as well. Make sure you're not missing out on other charges, as 'Total Charges' are not the same thing as those others!

Hi Doryphor,

 

I'm pretty sure I haven't missed any (!) Mine seem to consist of returned DDs (£30) and then a Total Charge every month of £27.50 so this is how I've recorded them on the spreadsheet.

 

6 days and counting to LBA! :D

You seem to be at the same stage-ish as me. My LBA is being sent out on Thursday, if nothing heard. (It would be novel if I heard anything by the sounds of others' experiences!) I'm also amending my claim to include contractual compounded interest with the appropriate textual insertion explaining the amendment.

 

If you use mindzai's spreadsheet (from his signature) it calculates compounded interest once you input your own contractual interest. (15.9% or so for HSBC both auth and unauth od.)

 

If you use contractual interest, then the "fun" as folk say starts earlier, and a claim of £1011 becomes nearer £1900!

Ooh, bit of an update. Filed my MCOL 2 days ago (which has been acknowledged today) but this morning received a letter from Colin Langdale offering me £1,479 (am claiming £1,740 + 8% interest now)

 

Just a couple of questions:

 

1) As I've already filed my MCOL do I just ignore this letter? I have no intention of accepting his offer, am prepared to go to court if needed.

 

2) In his letter he says, "If your claim for a refund proceeded to Court, we therefore believe we would successfully resist any legal challenge in relation to these fees." Is this just him trying to intimidate me or is he being serious?

 

Was stupidly excited to receive the letter though, thought they were just ignoring me! :D

Just a quick update: HSBC filed the standard defence on Friday (3 days before I would have won by default :mad:) and I recevied a letter from DG on Saturday asking for a breakdown.

 

I'm just compiling a letter to them now to post off tomorrow enclosing a breakdown of my charges and reminding them that I have to file my AQ by 26th December so they'd better get a move on!

 

Just a quick question though - do I have to add into my letter the fact that they also owe me my £120 MCOL charge or does this go onto my breakdown?

 

TIA!

you are sending a cover letter with the breakdown so just put:

please note I will now require xxxx.xx for charges and interest as per my claim plus £120 for court costs making a total of: xxxx.xx. Upon receipt of this amount, I will halt my claim with the court.

you can put it on the breakdown if you like but they know what's up - put it in the letter and try to be firm but polite in your dealings with them.

still send it recorded. they seem to be doing a lot of this lately - where before you could count on an offer in the third week of the 28 days - now, i've read several where they don't even ask for a breakdown before the defense is filed. but, take heart, we are still seeing them settled before the aq has to be in in most cases. send your breakdown tomorrow and i'd say thurs or frid. call on the pretext of asking if they have received your breakdown. as the courts will obviously be closed 25 and 26, i think you need to check with the court to see if it needs to be in by the friday, the22 by close of office and that may even be earlier than normal - best check by calling the cust. serv. number on the mcol site and then tell dg in your letter - that due to the holidays you will need to file your aq, no later than thurs. 21st. fingers crossed for you. get that breakdown off asap.
