Hi all

had a phone call of buy as you view to take payment.

Payment has been taken and my TV will be being returned tomorrow (they cant tell me what time but they say i will get a phone call an hour before they deliver it.

I then need to carry on making my £13 a week payments to them.

 

Hopefully it will be all sorted now!

Thanks All

Hi Rebecca1992

 

Some of this just doesn't sit right with me.

 

1. The friend that waited in and then signed that document were your personal details on that document at all even if it was you account number with them?

 

2. There Rep accused you of fiddling with the TV so what Photographic evidence and written evidence have they provided to back up this claim?

[Rebecca1992]

Hi Stu007

the document had written in pen or pencil the date, my account number and name and address. that is all, it was just a pink piece of paper with buy as you view printed on it and collection by consent/termination ticket printed on. then there were boxes that should have different things wrote in it. No details printed on it if thats what you mean?

 

They have no evidence photographic or otherwise as it was never done just "word of mouth" apparently.

[renegadeimp]

So what you are saying is that they unlawfully took your tv and held you to ransom. You fell for it and are happy with what they did.

[Rebecca1992]

Im not exactly happy with that, but i am happy im getting my tv back and not flushing £800 down the drain.

[renegadeimp]

Pleas re-read what i wrote. You had your items, in effect, stolen from you. THey then held you to ransom/blackmailed you, and you fell for it hook line and sinker and seem to be content with what they did.

[stu007]

Ok

 

1. You did not give them any permission to collect anything by Consent/Termination

 

2. You did not give them any permission to reveal your personal data to your friend in signing that document.

 

3. You were accused of Tampering with their property without any proof either photographic or written (remember this is not even written of the consent/termination document they made your friend sign why)

[Rebecca1992]

I agree

i pretty much did and i wish i didnt have to.

yes they took the tv but i wasnt around to prevent this, I was told until i paid what was owed i couldnt have the tv, so in a way this is a form of blackmail. but unless i paid for it i would have lost the TV.

 

I didnt see any other choice...

[Rebecca1992]

yes i DID NOT give them permission to take this TV

i did not give them permission to reveal my personal details to my friend, yes he already knew my personal details, but that isnt the point.

and yes i was accused of this and it was never mentioned in the termination ticket.

 

I am guessing they never mentioned it in the termination ticket because it never happened and they wanted something to try and "get the ball in there court" they were in the wrong and wanted to make everything ok again by lying.

[stu007]

Ok

 

In your discussions to resolve this is what you agreed to recorded/emailed or being sent in writing to you?

[Rebecca1992]

Ive had several emails from a member of staff.

One where i asked if the insurance where compulsory and if i could have them taken off to which i was told no and they are compulsory

another when i asked if as i couldnt have the insurances removed from my account if i could reduce my weekly payments to which i was told i would have to have a "fresh start" put on my account where i pay lower amounts over a longer period.

Another where i said i no longer wanted to be a BAYV customer and was there any possible way instead of continuing to pay for the TV if i could use the £800 to pay for another TV refurbished or not to replace it and cut my ties with the company which i was told wasnt possible

Another where i asked why a court order wasnt used to take the Tv to which i was told they had permission (my friend) and that it is " Buy As You View is a Hire Purchase Company and the terms of the Hire Purchase Agreement is that the goods remain the property of BAYV until the final payment is made"

 

I have letters from them (my agreement, the consent to remove and a few receipts)

Thats about it, i have no statements or anything

 

Im not sure if this is what you meant?

Rebecca

[renegadeimp]

I still dont know why you are believing BAYV. They have conned/tricked you, you fell for it completely, yet you still think they are in the right. By now, most people would have send a full complaint letter, started claiming back the insurances, and would contemplate legal action as well as complaints to the regulators.

 

You seem to be happy simply because after ALL they have done to you, they say they will give the TV back.

[matt v atos]

Ok so you have paid £888.00. up to date means £712.00.left to pay all for a Tv thats sells new for £440.00

[Rebecca1992]

Yes that is correct matt v atos, if there was a way to cancel i would have

Also renegadeimp I have already sent a full complaint letter to head office, I have attempted to claim back insurance but was told it wasnt possible, that doesnt mean im not going to try again, as soon as i have the TV back i will carry on pushing for the insurance.

I have also contacted my local CAB and have made an appointment to see them on Monday 13th when they are open to talk about legal action. I am by no means letting this slide. Yes i am happy to get my TV back tomorrow as it is a step in the right direction but that doesnt mean im not disgusted by the way i have been treated and that doesnt mean I am going to sit back and simply wait for my TV to be paid off. I am going to carry on trying for the insurances and I also want those responsible for wrong doing me to suffer in some kind of way.

Good for you I am getting angry reading this stuff

[Rebecca1992]

It makes me angry also but it is a catch 22 situation at the moment as until the TV is back in my possession they can at any moment "bring an end to the agreement" there words not mine. so until i have the TV there is very little I can do.

What you were told by BAYV and what is legal and reality are two wholly different things. We keep telling you that. You need to keep the pressure on them and report them to the regulators if they refuse to follow the law.

 

You NEED to stop believing what they tell you. We have already told you that they are acting unlawfully and borderline blackmailing you, but you still think it is right that they are able to do that. Before we are able to help you, you NEED to ignore what BAYV says and do what the law says. This is how BAYV operate. They lie and mislead people into thinking they are right and the law is wrong.

[Rebecca1992]

I dont believe them for a second. What would you suggest my next course of action should be?

I will start listening to you and not them, Im just not sure what to do next

[renegadeimp]

You need to start reclaiming that insurance for a start. I'm sure someone can help you with that. Regarding the complaint, you need to make sure it is specifically worded and if possible quote certain regulations, and demand they tell you which law states that insurances are compulsory on HP. They will try and ignore or mislead you, because thats how BAYV operate, as well as other "buy now, pay later" firms.

 

The main thing is you need to stop backing down and believing them, as they WILL start threatening you and pressuring you. Theres very little point in sending in a complaint or reclaiming the insurances if you simply don't have the resolve to stand up to them and tell THEM what is going to happen, and not let them tell you, which is how it's been for you.

[Rebecca1992]

Ok so if i research on the internet regulations and put together a rough letter if i post it on here will you read it to make sure its worded properly, i wouldnt have the first idea where to start. I am going CAB on Monday so if i take my HP Agreements and letters with the insurance details ans a print off of the emails which say its compulsory should they be able to guide me in the right direction.

I can deal with them being threatening and pushy as long as they dont send people round to my house, im not good with face to face confrontation. this wont happen will it?

[renegadeimp]

If you want to put a letter together, we can proof read. Just understand that BAYV read these forums, so it is a good idea not to include any personal info when you post it up here.

 

IF anyone comes to your house that you dont want there, dont open the door, just talk through a window and tell them to leave or you will call the police.

[Rebecca1992]

No problem I wont.

Thanks for your help.

Ill sit down and structure one tonight and post it on in the morning, least the reading up on regulations will help me in the long run. I start a Bachelors of Laws Honours degree in October

[renegadeimp]

You are going to be very surprised by what is actual law and fact, and what BAYV have been telling you.
