    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • Thanks DX,   I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week
    • Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have.

    • 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 I'm very new to all this so please bear with me.

 

I have an long outstanding debt with HBOS just over £9000 due to stupid decisions i made earlier in my life.

 

I have over the years been in dispute with BOS,

they have passed my account from one DCA to another about 5 in total,

everytime I complain or kick up a stink they send it back to HBOS.

 

They have now passed this to 1st Credit who i beleive has been sold the debt by HBOS,

although I can not see any mention of them on my credit file, checked on 'Noodle' today.

 

I am really angry with HBOS as the last time i had contact with them, around 18 months ago,

i sent them a complaint as i did pay an amount to one of their DCA's about 3 months worth,

this was never reflected in the figure they put on the statements they sent me

and is not reflected in the figure they have passed to 1st credit.

 

Furthermore i did questions a possible breach of DPA as one of the DCA's HBOS sent my file to,

contacted a utility company and stated this in writing to me.

 

The utility company provided them with confirmation of my address and that i was living there and also that i was paying for utilities at the address.

 

I complained to HBOS as they had no right to do this as i had previously been in contact with them and they was no question that i was living at the address.

HBOS did not reply to this and over the months as they kept quiet i didn't puruse the complaint, however i did keep the letters.

 

I have just looked at my credit file today and it does show the default with HBOS outstanding ,

the first default date was 22/11/2007, it doesn't show any payments after that date,

probably because i paid the DCA not BOS, and they have never acknowledged this.

 

1st credit have now sent me 2 letters, the first with your typical B&W photocopy of a bank of scotland headed letter

saying that they have now been passed the debt and a second one threatning bankruptcy and asking me to pay £1500 in installments.

 

I have read a few comments about 1st Credit and I have sent them a letter telling them i don't acknowledge the debt and asked them for the original signed agreement.

I have not signed the letter and asked them to contact me in writing only. I also included a postal order and gave them 12 days as recommended.

 

I suspect I will need some guidance going forward, as i know these people can be a bit tricky.

I was considering an IVA as i am just about coping with my debt until these people came along, i am now a bit worried.

 

If i do opt for an IVA i didn't want to pay 1st credit as i know how much they pay for books of debt,

i would have rather resolved the issue with BOS, which I did try to do initially.

 

Any advice or assistance would be much appreciated.

 

Kind Regards

The original debt was a Credit Card debt of £9660

but i paid £300 to a DCA some 18 months - 2 years ago (Not 1st Credit).

 

I made the payments as a gesture while BOS was dealing with my complaint.

 

BOS have never acknowledged the payments and the file was passed back to them after I stop making payments.

 

The Credit card was taken out in 2000/2001 but i can't be sure the exact date.

 

Thanks.

doesn't it not make you wonder why for a debt of £9.6k they have never gone to court?

when they take people to court for as little as £100?

 

something smells here ?

 

so its live and still owned by BOS

it was defaulted in 11/07 so before that you never had any issues paying.

 

then you hit hard time and its been passed around eventually with you making a couple of £150 payments in all that time.

 

and now you've a threat-o-gram from 1st crapit.

 

i think you need to SAR BOS

 

i can only think that the bal if mostly PPI &/or PENALTY charges

 

and thats why they wont go near a court for fear of a counter claim

or

there is no enforceable paperwork

 

that CCA 1st crapit will be interesting !!

Was it a credit card that came unexpected with a loan? BOS did this a lot. We successfully claimed back PPI on both loan & credit card and unfair credit card charges which wiped out the debt. Sounds like you are in financial hardship. BOS know you are struggling and may have mis-led 1st credit about your ability to pay. Make sure they know debt was in dispute and you are in hardship.

Hi All

 

Just to clarify the debit is showing as owned by BOS on Noodle but i did receive a letter from 1st Credit saying that 'Bank of Scotland PLC has assigned all of it's respective rights, title and interest in respect of the above mentioned account' so i assume BOS have sold on the debt.

 

Anyway, i received a package today from 1st Credit, they have provided me with a bunch of printed statements going back to 2006, but no signed agreement, of which they did acknowledge i required in a previous letter and that they would approach the original creditor. I have issued a SAR to BOS today, what should I do about 1st Credit? Should I just reiterate the account is in dispute and request the CCA again ?

 

Any help appreciated as always.

 

Kind Regards

J

This is their response to a CCA request?

If so send the account in dispute letter from the CAG library.

Yes i sent the CCA request with a £1 postal order recorded delivery. They acknowledged the request with a letter confirming they had put the account on hold and would request these from the original creditor. Then i received a bunch of copied statements today, no agreement.

Then they have failed to comply with the CCA request, so defo in dispute send the letter addressed to their Compliance Manager, by RD.
