    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • Thanks DX,   I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

If it is now a compliant DN but a default has been recorded before then no they can not add one again.

 

Dx I know we have had this conversation before

 

but you really have no evidence that anything is wrong with the way eurodebt have handled this account.

 

Having said that a full statement from eurodebt would be a good idea.

 

It seen it now a waiting game.

 

Will a compliant S78 request turn up before SB is reached.

 

The biggest danger imho is them selling it and the new owners being trigger happy

dx speaks from a long and varied experience of these DCAs, not just the odd one that he may have personal experience of, and there is much on record regarding Eurodebt and others DCAs that shows how they work (or don't) within law and regulation.

I was referring to this account not eurodebt as an organisation. Without evidence it is wrong to say the op has been fleeced by eurodebt. Something the forum could be liable for

Point taken however all those were several years ago before the OFT tightened up and many DMC's handed back their licences or otherwise exited the market. You can noy judge a company on such old data that is all I am saying.

 

In most markets companies rise and fall and some rise again

Thank you guys for all your input.

 

Personally, it was my choice to go with Eurodebt because at that time (2002), I never heard of any other company who could have helped me.

 

They managed to reduce my monthly payment to £40 per month from £400 I was paying,

but obviously I had to sacrifice my credit file as I had no other choices.

 

Saying that, they never helped me in any other way.

 

Example - they never asked to see original agreement from my creditors.

 

They never negotiated low F & F settlement.

 

One thing that annoys me now the most is, I was told debt will be wiped out after 6 years.

 

When I raised this question after six years,

I was told what they meant was the CRA file will be clean after 6 years.

 

But hey I have now found helpful people here in CAG and only regret is why didn't I come across this site way earlier.

 

Will be writing to BC as per your suggestions and update to follow.

 

Thank you.

My personal view which I know isn't universally shared is that you should use whatever debt remedy is right for you at the time.

 

I think that the DMC's that still exist are now much better but yes it must be very galling if you are led to believe

that after 6 years you will be debt free and you aren't.

 

It would be lovely if in the bundle of letters you get back from ED there was one that said that but I somewhat doubt it.

 

I used a feepayer for a couple of years and at the time it was the right thing for me to do,

if I got a letter or a phone call I just scanned it and emailed it to them.

 

I had enough stress at the time with my job and facing the size of my debts, in fact even admitting them was a huge issue.

 

When I left them I was sent a full statement .

 

It might have helped that I personally knew the person who ran the DMP.

 

Keep us informed

big deal

 

P2P are a powerless doorsteeping company

just like all DCA's

 

they are NOT BAILIFFS

 

and never ever will have any powers.

 

as for the DMC's saying your file will be clear after 6yrs..

 

it would be clear anyway, as long as the debts are defaulted

 

any debt with a default in the summary line

TOTALLY VANISHES on the defaults 6th birthday, paid or not

 

with a DMC or not.

Hi Ryan,

 

Power2Contact tend not to be too hard to get rid of. If they do attend, simply tell them to leave, refuse to discuss anything, then close the door.

What was the date on the Default notice sent by Mercers originally ?

 

B/shark wrote to a lot of people some time ago to say they had messed up with their DNs and gave the date they would be using on Credit reference files.

 

If you have a copy of the previous Default date then you should challenge this new one.

Thank you DX for your reply. I sent the letter attached after receiving their letter mentioning their intention to default, to which they replied saying they will investigate the default and get back to me. They haven't replied until now but now they have gone and defaulted the account. I would appreciate if anyone can draft me a strong letter to contest this default.

Do you know the date of the original default.. you say it was defaulted 11 years previously ? If you had made any payments to the account after that default date, then they could claim that you remedied the breach !

I do not even know if it was actually defaulted at all. That's why I started this thread. But most of the contributor to this thread assumed it must have been defaulted hence I assumed the same.

Hi Rayn,

 

 

I suggest you make a SAR to BC asap so you will get all the data on the account.

 

 

Specify you want proper copies of default notices not generic representations of what might have sent.

It is likely as Citizen B has said that this one of BCs foul ups on DNs and reporting to the CRAs.
