    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do medication and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?

    • 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.

Hello,

Well I really dislike Paypal, awful customer service, random money holds,

closing accounts for no reason, confiscating money for 180 days, and I could go on.

 

They seem above the law, but this really annoys me, I am essentially being told I have no right to ever leave pay-pal, So I will forever be bound to their agreements, however they are changed.

 

They have sent me their updated terms, which basically add even more powers to Paypal, including sharing information with everyone on the planet. so it says if you do not agree with these terms, close your account..

 

So I go to do this, and I am told due to my limitation (which was for no valid reason, but that is another story) I cannot close my account until I have fully restored my account access... but paypal make it clear they will never restore my account.

This can't be legal? Surely consumers should always have the right to close an account, and to refuse to accept new terms. there are also no ebay sales or any transactions that could be reversed or pose any risk in that sense.

 

This must be illegal and abuse of a loophole on so many levels? ... instead of closing an account they put it into indefinate limited access. what can be done?

To add insult to injury, they won't even let me ask on the official forum,

since they have limited the account. Talk about suppressing peoples freedom. Really hope these cowboys are held to account,

 

So annoyed with what they get away with, CAG should not use them to accept donations on principle of what they do to people (look it up online literally millions have been conned) there should also be a webwallet section. Thanks

have you been money laundering? If so they cannot release your funds. Ask CIFAS if you have any flags on your name, address or accounts and explain the problem. If they are involved they should be able to correct any errors. If still nothing then look up their UK registered address and write to them citing breach of contract and give them time to release you funds to your bank account without penalty. If they dont oblige then report them to the FSA.

Hi, money laundering? no,There are no flags on my name. don't quite see how that fits in with anything?. Thanks for the reply though.

 

To be clear, I don't have any funds in pay-pal, and there was no reason for my limitation,no pending or recent transactions, no charge-backs, no complaints, just the standard copy and paste email, if they done it due to the fact I have deposited to a casino before,therefore they decided I am a "risk", or , I have no clue.

 

I would suggest anyone that finds that surprising investigate paypal online. Sadly many think those who are limited must of done something wrong, I thought that myself until it happened, it's then that you uncover the truth of how they operate.

 

Anyway, that is another issue, I do not wish to be a PayPal member, To be honest I don't care about the new terms, What I do care about is I have the right not to agree to these terms, and as stated in the email about their updated legal agreements, If I do not agree to the terms, I must close my account.

 

So my issue here is, it seems they are abusing the law by putting accounts into permanent limitation mode, removing the ability to close your account, and therefore your ability to not accept any agreements they come out with, and be assumed to accept them by the fact you have not closed your account...however it is not possible to close your account... this cannot be legal?. they could come out with an agreement saying anything they like, then claim it was agreed to because I did not close my account.

 

Thanks for the info though, from what I understand PayPal moved to Luxembourg to avoid being under fsa rules, I am not sure on that. Again, there are no recent transactions, and no funds on hold, or any other reason for keeping the account open, and paypal do not even claim there is an issue here.

 

We really need to establish how PayPal don't have to follow any rules? if this was a bank there would be hundreds of people bringing up legal issues and letters to send, is it just that they really are above the law?.It is the consumer action group, reclaim the right and all that, seems to not apply to PayPal.

 

I appreciate anyone that can bring back my faith in being able to have some rights as a consumer with giant corporations like this.

 

Thanks

Those emails about account limitations and holding onto funds? Are you sure they're not phishing emails. I get them frequently with an attachment to update my account - but it's not Paypal that has sent them. They look official but are from fraudsters

I totally sympathise, I have first hand experience of the monstrous behaviour of both Paypal and eBay when I was running an eBay business. In end I closed it because I realised that I could never rely on eBay or Paypal not to act unreasonably. What you have to realise is that neither company chooses to provide proper customer service because of the sheer number of users which would weigh down their margins. Instead they rely almost completely on computer algorithms to identify risk, and they amputate that risk just as automatically. The problem with this approach is there is no human reasoning in the loop, and their algorithms are frequently wrong.

 

Examples of this are:

a) Holding on to money because you are selling goods with a statistically higher chance of fraud/counterfeiting.

b) Permanently freezing accounts because you are logging in using an IP address that has been linked to someone elses bad account (Thats a nightmare to get removed).

c) Freezing seller accounts because you are withdrawing your money 'too often'!!!

 

The list goes on, it's all extremely inaccurate, unfair, unreasonable and VERY VERY difficult to correct, all of which led me to conclusion that basing a business model on eBay/Paypal was a mistake. I've walked away, but like you have several 'accounts' with ebay/paypal that I neither want or can close.

 

I should add that technically the accounts are meaningless, because I formed a limited company for them, which I have subsequently dissolved. eBay/Paypal will still try and treat them as personal accounts, but there is no basis in the T&C's or law for that, so you can safely ignore them if you have done the same.

 

I've posted on this issue in the past: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?349102-Are-eBay-Paypal-acting-within-the-law&p=3824527#post3824527

Thanks for the replies, no they are not phishing emails.

 

Sounds familiar Howardb,

 

Yes it must of been one of those automated systems, my friend also got his account limited as he logged in while at my house, so linked the accounts, Completely disgusting. Also they fail to allow anyone who is limited to go on the paypal help forum to ask questions under the limitations section! very clever way of stopping anyone speaking out about their treatment.

 

In relation to agreements, there must be a legal issue here, they clearly have to send the email telling members they are updating

their terms, and they can close their account if they do not agree. so considering this, how can they get away with limiting accounts

forever rather than closing, therefore taking the ability to disagree with their terms?.

 

sounds like they are abusing the rules here, I will have to do some more investigation and find the relevant laws here,

I did think someone on cag would know which laws are relevant here, but seems when it comes to paypal no one is quite sure.

 

They do have a lot of personal information, and as their agreements contain an ever increasing number of people they can send my bank and other details to - I must have the right to not remain a member forever.

 

Thanks
