    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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 heather

It doesnt hurt to try to get a charge wiped out before its debited from your account, think i've managed to do it on a couple of accasions over the years. At the end of the day its gunna depend on who you speak to and what mood they're in. Just be polite and you never know your luck.

 

As for claiming back your charges you must first obtain your last six years of statements and tot up exactluy how much they owe you. You can then start the wheel turning on claiming the lot back. All the templates and step by step instructions can be found here on this site so please read thorugh the FAQs

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/ before starting.

Keeps us informed and good luck

ha just went into the bank and they aksed why i thought the charges were too much. but as i thought they wouldnt budge on reducing or deleting them. so i promptly handed them a letter saying that because of the OFT it was unlawful for them to charge £35.00. this will now be passed onto there cusotmer care department to be dealt with.

Oh Dear, At any point did you stop to read the FAQ's. step-by-step instructions or rules of engagement which are all available from the bank templates library??

It is all very well arming yourself with a piece of information, but if you spent long enough reading these forums you may have learned there is a tried and tested method of recovering your charges.

 

i challenged the bank to give me breakdown of the charges and that they were once gain being illegal

 

The charges are not illegal, they are unlawful. If you have not distinguished between the two, you have not done enough research.

 

Perhaps if you post details of the letter, informing you of your 30days notice, someone with a bit more knowledge than me might be able to help.

In the meantime, spend some time searching the forum for information on banks closing accounts as retaliatory measures, and what you can do about it!!

 

Good Luck

S

hi yes i have read the forums taking the information to succesfully receive my last 6 years of bank charges, sorry i meant to say unlawful and have said this in my letters.

 

the problem being they are still taking charges off me at the usual rate being £30/£35. at this point in time this month it is £95 worth of charges and next month £35. can you give me the link so i can see a forum about them closing accounts, im not really that bothered about them shutting the accounts as i have found the service and memebrs of staff within my local branch rather poor and they have been well taught on what to say to the customer when they appraoch them to challenge the charges, espcially when i was told that on no uncertain terms will they be refunding my charges this time around as i have already had them refunded. i have spoke to the financial osbudman about this and they have asked me to fill in a complaint form due to them closing my accounts because i have challenged them again about my charges. they can proceed to take to take the charges and i will send them the letter step 2 of the stage (as i know what bank charges they are and what date) and i will also be including the interest which they never paid me when they refunded my charges from the past 6 years.
