    • Received this letter today after all this time !! Doesn’t sound like just a threat any advice please  Thanks  Photo.pdf
    • Good evening. Hoping to keep this short and concise. Any help really appreciated! Sent originated from council tax in 2019.  I moved address for a new career 240miles away in December 2019 and have lived here ever since.  A distant friend resides at previous address.  A CCJ was filed regarding this debt in January 2020 but no correspondence was received my end or at the old address.  Move forward to this year; early April I learn of a letter received from Bailiff - Notice of Enforcement dated 13/03. Stated I had ten days to settle a payment/payment plan or £75 will be added after ten days from 13/03 and bailiff instructed to visit.  Obviously I was unaware of this letter till well after the time period passed. Attempted to contact Dukes via email but zero response. Asked for breathing space in order to check the original debt with the respective council (I wasn’t awarded a week of Housing despite being on UC for a short period due to a contract date given by the old employer).  29/04 a note was left at the old address stating a bailiff had visited. New balance £310 more than original outstanding.  I’ve since contacted both the council and the bailiff agent to state I’m more than happy to settle the original debt over a payment plan but at this stage they will not remove the fees despite all correspondence not being sent to me and obviously me only seeing them much later than one would have expected.  Tried live chat today with the company and firstly was told the fees will remain because I spoke to the enforcement agent - I have never spoken to him/her.  secondly told the fees would remain because “I tried to use their web chat service to complete an income form” - I have zero recollection of doing this and I also wonder if it’s another tactic? any help on where I stand with the fees added would be incredible. Thank you
    • the evidence you have from Mercedes is perfect. simply write to both the finance company and the dealership that sold you the car, stating under the consumer rights Act 2015 should a fault appear outside of 6mts, it's for the consumer to prove the fault was present at time of sale. Please find enclosed a copy of said report from Mercedes at XXXX stating quite clearly that the windscreen was replaced on Date , some xxx months/years BEFORE my purchase on DATE. there is a bill to pay of XXX to XXX , i expect you to sort this out between yourselves , i am not liable for this. something upon those lines anyway.  
    • Not really. I just wrote it based upon my credit file data with screenshots and stuff.  Also referring to multiple data points. You need to read before sending or writing it.    I have plenty of experience in this stuff so takes me half hour to write something like this. For you itll take an afternoon probably. An additional day with it on your CRA wont cause a problem.     Reference Material; ICO Credit File Guide - https://ico.org.uk/media/your-data-matters/documents/1282/credit-explained-dp- guidance.pdf ICO Main Page For Credit - https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/credit/ CMF Limitation Act 1980 - https://www.checkmyfile.com/articles/the-limitation-act-1980-and-debt-time-limits.htm Gov Limitations Act 1980 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/58/2023-11-18 (Latest Version) Transunion 6 Years - https://www.transunion.co.uk/consumer/credit-report-help/how-long-does-information-stay-on-my-credit-report-for Equifax 6 Years - https://help.equifax.co.uk/EquifaxOnlineHelp/s/article/Howlongdoesadefaultedorsettledaccountstayinmyreport Experian 6 Years - https://www.experian.co.uk/consumer/guides/defaults.html#:~:text=A default will stay on,you still%20owe%20them%20money

    • 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 looking for some clarification for a claim I'm putting together against Barclaycard.

 

Background:

Took out CC in 2000, ran into problems in 2008 and ended up setting up a DMA (Free One) and been making payments since.

 

Position so far.

Have found all possible statements (still a couple of years missing) and using them have added up all PPI payments made. = £2534.20.

Using one of the spreadsheets available on here (thank you) have calculated interest. =£7905.55. Does that sound right?

Have also worked out that not paying the PPI would have meant that I would not have exceeded my credit limit, so have claimed back overlimit charges. = £132.00

Have calculated interest on overlimit charges. =£184.82

Have also roughly calculated how much extra interest I paid by having the PPI. =£1358.94.

Have calculated interest on the extra interest paid. =£2796.54.

 

Also, I have calculated that at the time my CC was transferred to a DMP, my balance would be a lot lower. Should I also seek reduction of the DMP by the difference in the balance.

 

Does this sound right?

Many thanks for you help.

If not for this forum, I would not have been able to do this.

 

Info in table format below.

 

Reclaim of PPI £ 2,534.20

Interest on Reclaimed PPI £ 7,909.55

Reclaim Incorrectly Applied Overlimit Charges £ 132.00

Interest on Reclaimed Overlimit Charges £ 184.82

Reclaim of Excess Interest Charged £ 1,358.94

Interest on Excess Interest Charged £ 2,756.94

Total of Claim £ 14,876.44

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...

penalty charges and ppi should be separate claims and soc's use the runningfos one from here

 

for both

 

unless you want to claim CI then use that one.

 

BC do pay CI at 24.9 i think

 

see the BC forum

Hi dx,

 

Thanks for that.

 

So seperate claims for PPI and Penalty Charges. OK

 

I did use the runningfos spreadsheet to calculate some of the figures but was concerned that the figures seemed OK.

 

Many thanks,

 

Jedicris

Advice Please:

Well, my SAR arrived from Barclaysharks today by Recorded Delivery. Problem is, they sent it to my previous address, despite me informing them of my present address two years ago and my present address being very clearly displayed on the SAR request that I sent them.

 

Now my query is; Do I write to them and point this out or do a formal complaint to the ICO or do both?

 

To really pea me off and to add insult to injury, the have only sent; "Letters and Reports", no statements or transaction history. Nothing really useful except that one of the reports does show my present address but with the previous Post Code. What a load of incompetent idiots!

 

They still have 10 days before the 40 days runs out but suppose I'd better think about preparing a "Failed SAR" letter.

 

Any thoughts gratefully received.

 

Jedicris.

Hi,

 

Latest Update on my Barclaycard claim.

 

Had a letter from them saying:

"Not currently in a position to provide you with a final response".

"We are waiting for records relating to the sale of your PPI so we can reach a resolution".

"We are currently investigating your complaint and are yet to reach a resolution".

"The delay is due to the high volume of cases we are dealing with".

 

Ummm! Perm any one or two from four.

 

Perhaps the poor dears are just sooooo overworked with all the nasty ickle people claiming their money back.

 

Power to the People.

Hi Everybody,

 

Well, Well, Well!

 

Further to my previous post. A letter today from Barclaycard upholding my claim and offering just over £9500.

 

I am WELL CHUFFED.:-):-):-)

 

Once I get some of the cash in the Bank Account, a nice donation on its way to CAG.

 

Perhaps a change of title is in order?
