    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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 all.....

My wife has just had a letter from scotcall saying they are going to send someone round about a debt we have...

 

I have an arrangement with another DCA , DLC to pay this debt monthly and am happy to pay this as it is owed by us jointly.

 

I rang scotcall and they said that they had been passed my wife's details by DLC and they could chase her for it.

 

I pointed out to this person that I had an agreement with DLC ,

his reply was " she hasn't so we are chasing her ".

 

I then told him that he had no right to send someone to my door without an appointment and if he did I would call the police,

 

his reply was thanks for your time and he hung up...

 

What should we do as we are already paying back this money to DLC

and don't want to pay someone else as well

 

Any help would be welcome

Thanks

Dear oh dear Snotcall with delusions of grandeur again!

 

Ignore them, and this other clown outfit DLC.

Why are you paying a debt collection agency anyway?

 

What is this alleged debt?

 

Who is the Original creditor?

 

When was this taken out?

 

As you have found out, never ever phone or speak to a DCA over the phone, unless of course you can record the calls?

 

Keep everything in writing.

 

Keep a diary of events, especially regarding the telephone harassment you'll undoubtedly receive.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hi ,

the debt is for the balance of our mortgage when our house was repossessed and sold .

 

I know we have to pay this as there was a difference between what we owed and what the house was sold for.

 

This happened just over 3 years ago and we have been paying DLC for about 2 years now,

they send a letter every 6 months or so and review our payments, trying to put them up,

then we get a letter with our pay arrangement on it ,

subject to review in 6 months time.

 

Each time they review they want to run through our finances.

 

Can scotcall chase my wife for this debt if I have an arrangement with DLC ?

something smells here.

 

no tin pot DCA has ANY legal rights AT ALL

to collect money from you

nor

be give PERSONAL financial details.

 

how did you get spoofed into paying DLC

 

it should be the mortgage company you should be paying

IF you owe anything at all.

 

tell us the story.

 

those two DCA's are bottom feeders

and only usually collect lemon debts.

 

that no-one else has the front to chance their arm collecting upon.

Hi dx thanks for the reply....

The story is that when our house was repossessed there was a difference of £21,000 between what we owed, including charges for missed payments etc

and what the house was sold for..

 

.the mortgage company got in touch with us about a year after the repossession and asked for the money.

 

We told them we didn't have it so they passed or sold it on to DLC and we made an arrangement to pay them monthly..

 

.the debt is now £19,000 and we just keep reviewing every 6 months

 

but now scotcall are chasing my wife for this same amount even though I have an agreement with DLC.

 

..what should we do now ?

Surely if the debt has been assigned /sold to DLC then it indeed is DLC you should be paying. Aren't DLC the collection arm of Hillsden securities?

 

If I have confused the issue then I am sorry but I don't understand.

 

As for scotcall send them a letter saying that they may not make an appointment , if they do turn up they will be committing trespass for which you will claim damages and call the police. I am sure there will be a letter template in the library

somethings not right here

 

a mortgage company does not 'sell-on' a £12k shortfall.

 

you mentioned PENALTY charges

 

they are unlawful and can be reclaimed

 

get that SAR off.
