    • sorry but that letter needs to be much much better. you need to express that it was a stilly youthful mistake trying to be the big man and jumping the turnstile to look big infront of your peers. TfL prosecutors are on the email address on their first letter. get the court form sent back to the court , (but copy it first) stating you plead guilty and wish to attend to address the judge in person face to face to show your genuine remorse for your stupid youthful exuberance.      
    • I thought I should send the begging letter to the prosecutor. Does the hearing means the time I need to send back by? If so, it’s June 5  I plan to send the new begging letter as following, can I ask for some suggestions? Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,  Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.  I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.  I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.  Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.  I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.  I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.   Yours sincerely,
    • LoL Dx you crack me up. Thanks for the advice. I'll stay positive.
    • Utter Rubbish!! lowell dont write and beg for deals once they start court. as for your attitude, we'll thats nothing new for you.😎 you wont be quizzed, it's not like TV, simply refer to your defence/WS when answering anything the judge may ever ask. well it involves chickens. dx  
    • Thanks fk, I hope I don't have to face the court. Bless you for the reassurance.

    • 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'm new here and I'm just looking for a piece of advice,

 

long story to understand but here goes nothing

 

when I was 18 3 years ago I let my mother who had just been made redundant take out one of these loans in my name

the amount was 600 I'm sure but not 100%,

 

as far as I was concerned she made every payment on time and the loan was paid off during the agreed time

but it turns out she lied and I only discovered this when a letter dropped through the door from C.K Edrupt & Co solicitors

asking me to pay the remaining balance of £413 and

 

I confronted my mother about it and she said she will get the money and pay it but around 1month passed and she came up with nothing but

 

this week another letter has came through from C.K Edrupt again saying they are willing to accept 50% of the amount due if I pay in full,

which I'm more than willing to do as I will just pay it.

 

The questions I have are is there anything I should know before making this payment over the phone?

 

Like asking them to send me a receipt or anything like that.

 

And the next question I have is will this have a really bad effect on my credit score in years to come as I embark on getting my own mortgage ect in the future,

everything else I have ever had on my credit file is perfect and this has got me really worried about things looking to my future,

 

many thanks for any replies I get and

 

I'm very sorry if I've posted in the wrong section.

I would just like to add that I have until Tuesday the 14th of May 2013 to accept the 50% off offer from C.K Edrupt & Co. I'm also aware that I might be sounding daft in this thread for worrying about it but I really just want to be sure when it comes to applying for anything in my future that this is not going to affect me. I have now received advice telling me to ignore it but I don't want it to affect me anymore than it already has. Thanks again. PS I know I over think things but I'm just a young guy that wants to be sure and think about my future rather than ruining things with stupid debt.

moved to the provi forum.

 

these debts never show on your cra file normally so don't worry.

 

as they are offering a discount

this means there issomething WRONG with the debt

 

prob unlawful PENALTY charges

 

they'll never go near a court either as they don't want the judge knowing their extortionate int rates.

 

you are safe to ignore then and your cra file is safe too.

 

but chec kthe debt does not already show

 

 

NEVER EVER discuss your debts on the phone or at your door

 

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS

and NO dca or their fake/tame spoof DCa solicitors have

AN YSUCH LEGAL POWERS.

My score is perfect other than this one thing I've had a mobile phone contract for 3 years never missed a payment, I've also got a credit card which has never missed a payment and 2 store card/catalogues that have never missed a payment. Would I just be throwing away £200 by paying it or what? Again sorry for sounding like an idiot i just really worry about these sort of things.

hope you've got no "12 PENALTY FEES on those cat debts or any other debts you have?

 

I think it would be best if you read around a bit

 

the general debt forum

 

off of the main forum tab up the top left of this page might be a place to start

 

or type in

discount

 

in the search of our grey toobar up top

 

a debt with a discount means there is something WRONG with it

 

could be an unenforceable agreement

could be PPI

could be unlawful PENALTY charges

 

or all 3!!

 

pers , i'd wait for it to be sold to a DCA

 

then you'll be able to offer a F&F to settle it & demand its total removal from your CRA file

as a condition of payment.

 

you could SAR greenwood

 

that would give you all the statements

then you'll find out.

 

whatever you do

 

take your time

read around

DONT fall for the threats - they are NOT BAILIFFS

nor a REAL solicitor

they have NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS

many creditors levy fees for late or over limit penalties

 

these are unlawful and can be reclaimed

as can PPI or any insurances they made you take out.

 

as for calling ANYONE on the phone..

 

never ever discuss your debts on the phone!!

 

you are under NO LEGAL REMIT to do this

 

you need everything in writing only!

 

if anyone phones you up

 

REFUSE to go through their security checks

 

and state 'in writing only please'

and hang up.

 

you should NEVER EVER be giving your card details over the phone concerning a

payment of a debt or credit.

 

those details are often retained and they will drain your bank account .

 

you need everything in writing for a data trail.

 

most DCA/fake solicitor will say ANYTHING on the phone to make you pay

 

DO NOT fall for it.

Ok thanks for the advice,

 

I just want to get rid of it once and for all

 

if I phone now tomorrow and ask to pay via "?" And a condition of me paying is that it gets removed from my credit file this should work?

 

The payment method has a ? Because I'm not sure what method to offer.

 

And like I said I'm only young and the threat that ill be taken to court is not what I want hanging over me

 

I'd rather get rid of the debt and be happy again as this has been really worrying me.

I would pay if you must by your internet banking webportal

do not give them a card number

 

get their confirmation in WRITING FIRST

if they agree to mark the file settled [NOT PARTIAL SETTLEMENT]

 

they must also remove ALL negative data [late markers]

else they'll still show

 

post the letter up when you get it.

 

do NOT pay them before you get it in WRITING that they will abide by your conditions

 

however I doubt they will do that.

 

don't pay it, it will be a waste of money

and they'll sell the rest of the undiscounted debt on

and you'll get more threat-o-grams

 

you REALLY need to do some reading around

 

they will NOT do court.

I will call them tomorrow and ask if they will remove it from my file if I pay in full, how do I pay through my web portal? Ask them for bank details or what?

Please do not call them unless you can record the call. You need any agreement in writing so that they can't go back on any agreement.

I am just going to call the, and say " I would like to pay the account off in full, but as a condition of this payment I would like my credit file to be marked and settled and any negative marks against me removed, the payment will be made when I get a letter in writing from yourselves agreeing to keep to your side of the agreement."

Have they provided you with any evidence of the amount due?

 

Do you know if there are penalty charges?

 

You are implying that you will pay 100%. Is that what you mean?

 

If you want to agree a F&F settlement why not offer less?

 

You also need in writing that they will not sell the remaining part of the debt to someone else as it could come back again from another DCA.

 

I really would strongly urge you to read some other threads and advice before doing anything - especially speaking to them on the phone.

They have not provided anything to me other than the letters i mentioned at the top.

I'm offering to pay the 50% they mentioned in the letter because I don't want to get into a legal wrangle over such a trivial amount of money I just want to get rid of it,

i need to get from them a letter stating that when the payment is made they can't sell the other 50% on and that I would like my report marked as settled. And then I will proceed in paying it, like I mentioned before I would also like a little advice on how I should pay them I don't know how to pay anything other than using my debit card which I use to pay everything.

I agree with dx and caro,

 

DO NOT speak to them on the phone,

 

communicate only in writing,

 

there might be unlawful charges added,

they have not provided proof that you owe them money.

 

If you decide as you have been saying then take a look at the letter templates page on the link below

www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?20758

Letter J is the letter for offer of reduced offer as full and final settlement, there is also letter N which you should read.
