    • If anybody has any advice here, it would be greatly appreciated, I already suffer with pre-existing disabilities & have struggled with this so far. 
    • so return of goods order etc etc read upload  scan pages to jpg, redact in mspaint. the convert to and merge to one mass PDF  read upload and use the online listed sites for all 3 stages. do you want to keep the car? i will guess this was a manual paper claimform direct from the co.court or was it org sent from salford bulk processing and has just got reaq ssigned?      
    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.

    • 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.

My son has fallen into the snake pit of PDL vipers (and other vermin) and I am about to deploy my snake charming skills, learned from within these hallowed frames!

 

He has recently lost his job (misconduct) and is on the benefit that replaced Incapacity Benefit, as he has suffered from Depression and Anxiety for many years, so has no other income at present.

 

In addition, he has parted from his girlfriend and is now living at home, so we are dealing with a lot of 'fallout' after his world imploded..

 

So, learned counsel, given that he has racked up multiple debts that he is totally unable to service - and disposed of the proceeds on drugs and alcohol - is there a minimum amount of money he is 'entitled' to keep for his essential living expenses, or can his creditors simply plunder his bank account as and when they find money in it?

 

He is in the process of opening a 'parachute account' -as advised, thanks to previous CAG input on my behalf some years ago :-))

 

I can deal with the 'admin' side of things and am looking forward to dealing with some of the lovely DCA's who are swimming around in the pond currently (apologies for mixed metaphors).

 

My current thinking is that there is nothing they can do to enforce any of these alleged debts, some of which were activated 'under the influence' - and apart from a trashed Credit History, any potential court action will only result in awards of a pound or two a month at best - n'est ce pas?

 

It's quite touching to think I was so naive about debt once and how I used to TELEPHONE them when they wrote to me and give them information - oh dear, I'm cringing with embarassment again :-)

 

I would appreciate any specific or indeed general advice that may be on offer which might assist me in relieving some of the pressure he is currently under - and yes, he is truly repentent and ashamed of his behaviour - much good it will do him now! :-(

 

Many thanks - and keep up the excellent work guys!!

If he is on government benefits, then he only has to pay £1 a month. If a PDL ever takes him to court, a judge could reduce that amount, or even tell him not to pay for a certain amount of time, then to come back to court for a re-evaluation.

 

As for the PDL's taking money from his account, do the following:

 

  1. Write to the bank and tell them that under Regulation 55 of The Payment Services Regulations 2009, you instruct the bank to stop any and all CPA@s on the account with immediate effect. As this is enshrined in law, the banks MUST comply. Do not take no for an answer.
     
  2. Cancel the current debit card by reporting it as lost.
     
  3. Cancel any Direct Debits that he has with the PDL's
     
  4. Write to the PDL and TELL them that you revoke all authority for them to process any transaction on the account.

 

This should secure the money. However, it is worth opening a parachute account so the benefits can go into an untouchable account. The old account can then be sent money as and when bills need to be paid. Never give anyone the new bank details.

 

Forget about how much living costs your son needs. He is on benefits, so he is only obliged to pay £1. If he cant afford that for any reason, then write to the PDL by email or recorded delivery letter and tell them that you will be withholding payment for a certain amount of time.

 

Never phone them. Always deal with them in writing.

 

If they get cocky, tell them to take you to court, where you can show a judge the facts.

A quick follow up please - what would be his situation if he were to find another job in the near future - it won't be highly paid, but assuming he was to find himself in Court at some point, his ability to pay would presumably be 'assessed' - are there guidelines on this, or is it on a 'case by case' basis and the Court to decide on the day?

 

Thanks

Start with the pound a month. Once hes working you can revaluate his situation and increase payments.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of opting for a DRO in his circumstances?

 

He now lives at home, has applied for ESA/JSA - outcome awaited and has NO savings or significant assets of value!

 

My son would appear to qualify for this option and seems prepared to go take this route.....

 

Looks like he could (make that we could) hand over the £90 fee and after a year, walk away 'debt free'

Hi again Imp!

 

So is this the same as 'going it alone' and writing to the PDLs, as you have outlined to many others in similar circumstances previously, but through a more 'formal channel?'....

 

The way he described it, I thought it was a form of 'Bankruptcy Lite', which allowed you to 'hunker down' for a year and IF your financial situation hadn't changed in that time - your debts were written off!!!

 

The obvious question for me, would be, 'what happens if he did find a job during that time?' - do they come after you all over again and you pay according to your ability to pay?!

No need for a Dro or the like. Simply tell his creditors that he is on benefits and theyre getting a pound a month to be reviewed every 3-6 months. Get a letter from the jobcentre if you like to prove it to them. Theyll stamp their feet but theres NOTHING they can do.

 

If he finds a job then you can write to the creditors once he has his first wage and offer a higher amount.

OK thanks for that!

 

So just to close this down and move on, I am now intending that I/he writes to each of the PDLs he has borrowed from, informing them that he is unable to repay these loans, due to him losing his job recently and that he requires a redemption figure from them, in order to set up a repayment plan (does he offer the £1 per month at this stage?)

 

Meanwhile, he needs to complete his application for benefits (not sure if he will end up on ESA or JSA - as he was on IB for a long time, until he found work, which only lasted several weeks.....:-()

 

By advising them of his inability to pay, they are obliged (in law) to freeze any interest being charged and refrain from applying further unreasonable charges by way of 'default fees' etc....

Get a letter from the jobcentre confirming he is on benefits. Send copies to each creditor stating that thy are only getting a pound a month to be reviewed in 3 months time. Since each creditor will have official government documentation, theres nothing they can do but to accept. Theywont go near a court because its pretty much a guaranteed lose for them.

If his debts are under £15,000 and he has no assets, then this would be the time to enter into a DRO or bankruptcy if the debts are over that figure.

 

Have a read of the NatDebt fact sheet in the link below - DRO is 5th one on the list. Your son will be discharged from all his debts after one year.

He wouldnt be paying that long for multiple reasons. he could get a job, the creditor takes him to court and the debt gets written off or the creditor might write it off themselves.

Thanks to each of you for your contributions!

 

I am very tempted by the DRO option (a worthwhile 'investment' of £90 on my part...) as it does appear to offer 'closure' after 12 months, which is something I would have been attracted to when we had some difficulties several years ago :-(

 

I agree that he will certainly need to address his 'issues', but the inability to secure money from sources who are only too keen to hand it out without any vetting process or even paperwork changing hands, will be a good start - but it's not a cure, I realise....

 

There is clearly a real need for these PDL companies to be kept on a much shorter leash and as usual, the regulators will struggle to catch up with them, but the good news, is that CAG exists and thus there is hope for all those who seek it!

 

Many thanks!

That code wont close any loopholes. It is a self made and self policed code designed and implemented by the PDL's themselves. Since they cant stop breaking the law and regulation now, what makes you think theyll abide by a self designed code?

 

Of course, i could be very wrong, but the history of the PDL "industry" speaks for itself.

All letters went out a few days ago - signed for, of course :-) - BUT, just checked the tracking on one of them and see that it is 'being returned' as 'either undeliverable OR unaccepted by recipient' ....interesting!?

 

Not sure if this is a genuine error, or a tactic by the PDL - anyone got experience of this situation??

 

No problem with a re-send if appropriate, but what if not?? :???:

 

Off to check the rest now......

Check the address actually exists. If it doesnt, then report them to companies house and OFT for false registration details.

 

If it does exist, then send an email to the PDL who refused the letter, with the same letter content. If they do not reply, then you can add all this as "failure to respond or negotiate" in a court case. This also means they are breaking OFT guidelines on debt collection whereby they are delibratley avoiding contact so the debt keeps escalating to an unreasonable and unrepayable amount.

Hi 'Imp' - do you never sleep!? :-)

 

Just in process of checking the others and the address of the 'returned item' - may be an own goal yet, but we'll see........

 

Right, the address used on the 'signed for' delivery, is exactly the same as the address on a letter received FROM the PDL this morning - cute huh?

 

Email on its way shortly!!

Haha. yea i sleep. Any replies to a thread im subscribed to, get sent to my phone. So it only takes a min or two to reply.

 

Make sure you check that the address actually exists. They could have moved away, or they might be housed in a temporary office while their main address is being refurbished.

 

Once you have eliminated all that, the only answer is that they have refused your letter. Which PDL is this anyway?

Email back from the PDL, with another email address to use for Debt Management and a postal address for the 'Hardship Team' :-(

So, off to the PO again later with the same letter - and another £1.55 :violin:

 

At least their language seems appropriate in tone.....

 

Thanks again!

Hello again....

 

Not sure if a new thread is required for this 'topic' but it's the same person with the same problems, just a variation on a theme :???:

 

One of the loans taken by my son, has defaulted to the 'guarantor' that was required at the time the loan was taken - his partner!!

 

She is now having daily interest taken from her Bank account and understandably, isn't best pleased with him or the PDL!

 

Does this get treated any differently?

 

We have already sent them a letter stating HIS circumstances, but does SHE need to do the same, as she is also on benefits, with two young children (not my sons)....

 

Messy business :sad:

 

One more small point, is that one of the PDLs has responded by requesting that he complete an income and expenditure form and send them £1 for a copy of his agreement, 'in accordance with the 1974 consumer credit act' - legit?

If she is on benefits then she shouldnt be paying more than £1 a month. As a guarantor, yes she is obliged to pay the debt, but due to her being on benefits, the PDL should NOT be taking money out of her account. She needs to inform the PDL and get the money refunded. \Failing that, she needs to go to the bank and get chargebacks initiated.

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..
