    • Yee I mentioned after the new regulations. Depends if the amount off to date will take that threshold below £50k
    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards

    • 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.

Small Update & Big Thanks

 

Barclays

Received cheque for £500 PPI claim. Of course I have no way of knowing if this is fair or not but very grateful to get something.

I also went through the data and in different parts states "for deletion" giving various months in 2013.

I then decided to email Anthony Jenkins CEO, email was passed along and I have had long conversation with someone who is going to find out what she can and get back to by the 7th Oct.

 

Santander

Bank statements received going back to 2001. This I am assured is all they hold on me. Going through these statements I have

Admin charges - various amounts

Interest charges without ref - various amounts

Unauthorised OD charges - £37.50

Daily OD charges

 

Am I able to reclaim any of these charges?

 

Lewis

FOS is taking this up in their banking & Credit department. Had long chat with the case worker on Monday. Will update as and when

 

lastly thank you, it feels like a long slog but I feel more empowered in tackling all this thanks to you people. I want to make a donation, don't have a paypal account, what other way can I do this?

Bless you all

Satansbank charges can be reclaimed yes! Not 100% certain on the interest front, BUT IMO, if they have added interest to the charges then I would be reclaiming these back also, but I might be wrong?

 

There is a 'clickable' option for donations to CAG at the bottom of theis page, should auto take you to the PP page...

And well done for maintaining the long arduous slog, slowly slowly catchy monkey is an apt phrase!

Hi SB,

 

If it's a Santander current a/c, you will not be able to reclaim their default charges unless you do so using the Financial Difficulty route for charges made from March 2011 onwards.

 

See the Article here about The Lending Code - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?557-Letter-for-an-application-for-consideration-for-hardship

Thanks for that Slick123.

 

Thought as much going by what I have learnt on this site.

 

I will however have a go, will let you know.

 

In just one year, 2001 charges add up to a lot, makes me sad,

I never stood a chance with keeping working, dealing with my mental health and other personal stuff.

 

More interestedly I have just received a large package from Barclays,

on first quick look statements going back to 2001.

 

Letter included, mentions ICO, microfiche statements and they have requested more statements which I will receive shortly.

Will have a good look and let you know anything interesting.

I wish BB:lol:.

 

I need statements from the year before when all started to go belly up.

 

I started to get straight towards the end of 2001 re: current account with santander.

 

Statements from Barclays I have so far show that cards were suspended mid 2001.

 

Have more questions than I started with, more confused now.

 

Have someone from Barclays ringing me on the 7th, may get some answers.

 

I know that my debt with Lewis, after paying monthly for 11 years is in the main interest.

 

Interest was going on the cards for a couple of years after cards were suspended and I defaulted.

 

I first saw the phase cash cow on here when I first wrote, that describes me to a tee, for I have truly been a cash cow.

No more though.

 

Have realms of computer print out to go through, if nothing else I will have enough scrap paper to last the rest of my days.

Best wishes, will update after Monday

IMO, it all depends on the amount of charges levied, and if they are the £25 charge they used to add on, then this has always been deemed unfair, I will have to go hunting around for the relevant info which refers to reclaiming these fees and charges, but even now a days with their £12 charge I always demand them refund this.

Didn't receive telephone call yesterday. Will wait until the end of the week and ring the number I was given if call does not happen.

 

Today received letter from the executive office with a goodwill offer of £50 because of problems with SAR together with explanation of their difficulties.

 

Also received today another package of computer print outs and statements. Mainly same stuff as received last week. I have spent the day going through it all. Some of the print outs give basic info but statements only going back to 2004. Bit confused with it all. Can any of you good people answer a couple of questions I have.

 

1.Went delinquent in 2001. Recovery status. Only charge I can see was in 2001 "out of order fee £40.00, can I reclaim this?

 

2.Print out states " No c/off T/C s or historics available, unenforceable too old for c/off t/c

 

3.PPI cancelled 2000. Opened 1995. Refund of £500 no interest paid, no data

 

4. What does profiles indicator mean as it has yes besides that.

 

Any answers/advice gratefully received.

hey well done

 

 

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...
