    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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.

I have received another email from credit corps stating the following:

 

I can confirm your recent dealings with xxxxx in my team regarding this and that it was your intention to make contact with him upon your return to work last week. Sadly this has not happened and xxxx has today escalated the matter to me for the consideration of outsourcing. Our UK agents, Stevensdrake Solicitors, are standing by awaiting my instructions and I must recommend your urgent respnse to this email with a payment proposal. Payments can be made via our website ww.creditcorp.com.au however the amount and frequency will need my approval first.

 

Should I just ignore the email or respond claiming that I have had no contact with his team member and have no knowledge of the debt? Should I ask them to email me proof of the debt. I am about to go away for a month and am worried that this may escalate to court action whilst I am away. At present they only have my work email address (which I am about to leave) but I am sure that UK solicitors would be able to track my address down.

 

Urgent advice needed please.

 

Thanks

Start making a list of times and dates etc, who they spoke to and what they said. It will come in handy for any other complaints you need to make. See http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?265807-More-AUS-debt-being-chased-in-the-UK for an example of someone who was contacted at work.

 

BTW also they need permission from you to send emails. If they dont have it they can be reported for privacy breaches.

Dont email them or have any contact. If they call you refuse to answer security questions for privacy/security reasons.

The debt clock will only restart if you admit to the debt and sign something to that effect.

If you do email or write at any time start your mail or letter with I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT WITH CREDIT CORP OR ANY OTHER ORGANISATION YOU CLAIM TO REPRESENT.

Impossible to say. Some DCA's hound people for months, others 2 or 3 times and then give up.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

From what i have seen in the past and read on this forum credit corp will not give in easy and will perhaps stop contact for a while maybe 6 months or so and then start all over again. They will search social network sites like linkedin for your details and come at you again every time they think they have a new phone number or address. If they are sure they have your home address they will request Stevensdrake solicitors here in the uk to try their luck and threaten all sorts of stuff.

It all depends on how much contact info they have on you and how much documentation they have on the debt. Every case is different.

Hope that helps

If Credit Corp are operating outside of the UK, then the OFT guidelines on debt collection don't apply to them. You will have to complain to the Aussie authorities and hope that they get them to stop.

 

As for your Manager, if they don't know about this debt, just tell them that this company keep harassing you about some loan they want to transfer to the UK from Australia, which you don't want to do.

 

If there is no court judgement in Aus, then they cannot do much. It is up to CC to take forward relevant court proceedings in Aus in your absence and then to transfer to the High Court in London, if they want to do so. Obviously there is a cost to this, which they are trying to avoid.

We could do with some help from you.

The loan ammount is $15,000 do you think they will? They were suppose to send the debt to the UK end of feb when they contacted me on the first time

 

Empty threats mostly. If you ever receive a court claim from a UK court, you will have to dispute jurisdiction. There is a thread in the legal issues folder by Rebecca H, where CC have just passed the debt to UK Solicitors, who issued a county court claim and jurisdiction is being disputed. They have not followed the correct court procedure for Australian debts to be heard in the UK, so are unlikely to get anywhere. Under legislation, I believe CC would have to obtain court judgement in Aus and then transfer the claim to the High Court in London.

We could do with some help from you.

They wont apply for a court order in Aus as the OP does not live there and much like the uk if you dont live there you cant get a judgment against a non resident. At least thats the way i see it.
