    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Back in 1997, I helped my mother who is mentally ill and physically disabled enter a payment plan to help pay her £200 debt off to JD Williams (T/A Ambrose Wilson). By 1999 we noticed that the amount she owed was not going down so I wrote and asked for a full statement which was revived within a couple of weeks.

 

I noted that although they had in fact frozen the interest and had not added any charges all her payments were showing as a debit to the account and not a credit, so I highlighted the transactions and wrote off to JD Williams for an explanation, we heard nothing and time went by and it was forgotten.

 

In 2007 a letter came from Reliable Collections asking for £475 for a debt owed to Ambrose Wilson. I wrote back to them explaining the situation and as we had had no contact from the original creditor for over 6 years then it was Statute Barred, again nothing not confirmation they had received the letter or any follow up demands nothing; and again we thought it was over...

 

Now today 02/11/2012 my mother has had a letter dated the 26/10/2012 from Transcom Worldwide (UK) Ltd threatening legal action if they don't hear anything from her by the 5/11/2012, I have quickly fired off another Statue Barred Letter and posted it via Recorded Mail at 10am today 02/11/2012.

 

Of course after 12 or 13 years there is no way they can take legal action, but I was wondering is there anything that can be done to stop JD Williams/Ambrose Wilson from keep sending this debt out to other DCA's Do I send another SB letter to them or is there another type of letter I have to send to the OC or do we ignore the OC as they have not bothered in 12 years to contact her direct.

Letter just states they have proof the account does not fall under the limitations act and they look forward to receiving a payment plan to settle the debt...

 

Also now says on behalf of Motor Mile Finance but on Transcom Letterhead, Any way of finding out if they are part of Newman & Company as Google Street View does not recognise Limewood Way only Limewood Road and The Transcom Building (Limewood House) has a Newman & Company Google Marker on it.

She's not... I know enough from other on this site not to allow her to do anything, So far NO PROOF has been provided

 

The Original CCA for Ambrose Wilson was signed sometime in 1985 when she first set up the Catalogue Account, she was a good payer each and every month always paying more than the min payment.

 

The problems only started as described in my first post...

 

The only acknowledgement since then was the first SB Letter sent in 2007 to the First DCA.

Same hear really, Stopped Paying the Debt around 11-12 years ago when we realised their was a problem and nothing until the DC Letter from Reliable Collections in 2007... But the letter does state Transcom can confirm that it's not SB and they also state they are working on behalf on Motormile...

 

It all does seem very 'coincidental'

 

I wondering if OC are going into administration and are trying to claw back anything they can, not heard anything tho.

I have discovered only one link my mother ordered some items from Jacamo for me last year but has paid everything upfront with a debit card so nothing owing to them but she has also just brought a new outfit from Julipa a few months back but again paid in full with her debit card.

 

Both Companies are part of the JD Williams Group so if there was a problem there I would not of thought she would have been allowed to order from them, although I doubt anything would show up on her credit file after all this time.

AW are I think part of Shop Direct, someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Emmm I have put Transcom to strict proof that the debt is not SB, written to Motormile also who have state 56 days to make a reply??

 

I'm going to ask my ''clients'' to get CRA files checked and I will do CCA requests for them. I would suggest you do the same.

UPDATE!

2nd letter arrived to say that DCA "Transcom" is now checking with the OC for details/proof of date of debt which is odd seeing as their 1st letter states they already had proof that the debt did not fall under the limitations act...

 

Me thinks the DCA needs their information updating before contacting susposed debtors.

Make sure you keep both letters safe for future use, nothing like having proof they have lied to you

Hi I have now a considerable number of similar cases, and I am preparing a complaint to the OFT regarding the statement ''we can confirm that this account does not fall under the limitations Act 1980 etc.''

 

These are showing up daily, I would like to include your case for a mass complaint if I can.

  • 1 month later...

If I have gotten this correct as I was trying to send via PM until I realised that all the instructions were for threads and not messages, so thanks for the help in that.

 

The two letters from Transcom as below and we have not heard anything since the 2nd letter no calls, messages or subsquent letters, all gone quite now for near 4 weeks.
