    • Thank you very much for your letter in regard to the above mentioned shipment.  Due to the high volume of parcels coursing through the courier network each day, undergoing continuous processing and handling, certain packages may experience delays or even can get lost in the course of this journey. Please note that due to the time that has passed, this shipment has been declared as lost.  I have today processed the claim and made offers to the value of £75 as a goodwill gesture without prejudice. I do acknowledge that you have mentioned in your letter that the value was higher, however, you did not take out any protection to that amount. The protection for this shipment was £20 and we will not be increasing our goodwill offer any further.    Please log into your account online in order to accept our offer. Once accepted, our accounts department will process the claim accordingly. The claim payment will be processed and received within 7 working days.                                  In addition, a refund of the carriage fee will be processed as a separate payment and will be received within 3 working days.  If I can further assist, please feel free to contact me.   I have also just noticed that yesterday afternoon they sent me an email stating that "after my request" they have refunded the cost of shipping. I did not request the refund so will mention that in my letter as well.
    • Hi I had to leave Dubai back in 2011, during the financial crisis. And only now have I received a letter from IDRWW. Is this anything to worry about about as I have 2 years left until it’s been 15 years(statute barred in Dubai). Worried as just got a mortgage 2 years ago. Could they force me in to bankruptcy? Red lots of different threads on here. And unsure what true and what isn’t.

    • Often with the Likes of Lowells/ Overdales that 'proof' doesn't stand up to scrutiny.   Think about it like a game of poker, they want to intimidate you into folding and giving up as soon as possible, and just get you to pay up and roll over, that is their business model, make you think your cards are rubbish. What they don't expect, and their business isn't set up for it, is for a defendant to find this place and to learn that they have an amazing set of cards to play. Overdales don't have an infinite number of lawyers, paralegals etc, and the time / money to spend on expensive court cases, that they are highly likely to lose, hence how hard they will try to get you to roll over.  Even to the extent of faking documents, which they need to do because the debts that they purchased were so cheap, in the first place. Nevertheless it works in most cases, most people chicken out, when they are so close to winning, and a holding defence is like slowly showing Overdales your first card, and a marker of intention that this could get tricky for them. In fact it may be,  although by no means guaranteed that it won't even go any further than that.  Even if it does, what they send you back will almost certainly have more holes than Swiss Cheese, and if with the help you receive here, you can identify those weaknesses and get the whole thing tossed in the bin.

    • 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.

Have just received a letter through the post today from BW Legal stating that they have tried to call at the house on 2 occasions

(both times I was here and no-one knocked at the door)

and that they will call again on 4th December to issue a Statutory Demand and will post it if we don't keep the appointment.

 

Firstly,

I have never heard from this Company before and other than there reference number,

it doesn't tell me who the debt is for?

 

 

There is a telephone number,

should I call it to find out?

 

 

Can I try to agree a repayment plan?

 

 

I'm scared witless that I will suddenly lose everything when I thought I was starting to get back on my feet......

 

If anyone can help me, advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

 

I would normally say that you shouldn't talk to debt collectors, but there isn't too much time bearing in mind the weekend.

 

Is there an email address on the letter? You could try emailing if there is.

 

If not, I think you may have to call them because even with recorded/signed post it often does take more than a day to be delivered and you may not be able to check online for the signature before the 4th.

Have just figured out which debt it is and it's one, to be honest, that I've ignored.

 

 

Have had the usual letters from them but it's been passed from pillar to post so I assumed it would keep doing so.

 

 

The debt is 5yrs old so not yet SB.

 

 

Can I contact them to agree a payment plan?

 

 

Will they accept at this late stage?

Send an urgent CCA request to Lowell by recorded delivery and see if they can provide it. This is presuming the debt is covered by the CCA. Would not be relevant to an overdawn bank account.

Did you ever raise any dispute with the original creditor or debt collectors about this debt ? Any PPI or excess charges to claim back ?

 

The problem with not setting aside a statutory demand, is that at any time you miss a payment, Lowell could proceed with bankruptcy provided the debt was still over £750. BW Legal or whoever is dealing with this at the moment, will want the debt to be paid off in a period of less than 24 months, going by what has been said on here previously. So if you want to look at a repayment arrangement, this would need to be negotiated. Personally I would suggest that the CCA is sent off now and see what you get back. You have 18 days from the date the statutory demand is received, to apply for the set aside.

We could do with some help from you.

It may do. We'd need to see it, so do get the CCA request off today.

 

The ones from the very early 2000s aren't enforceable. It depends when Capital One actually changed the wording of their agreements.

 

However as it's 2005 they would need to produce the agreement to enforce if they went through the County Court and this is why SDs are currently their favourite form of trying to get the money. :mad2:

April 2005, does that make a difference?

 

Yes for account taken out pre April 2007, creditors need the original CCA, if this is requested by the defendant in court. So it makes sense to send Lowells a CCA request urgently by recorded delivery.

 

There appears to be an assumption in your posts that the statutory demand has something to do with the courts when issued. This is not the case. It is simply a letter issued by your creditors, which if you don't deal with within 21 days, they can provide it to the court, along with a bankruptcy petition. Normally going by reports, it can be many months after the SD is issued that any attempt is made to use bankrupty. You don't need to enter into a payment arrangement as soon as the threat of a SD being issued is made. You have a chance to set aside the SD if you wanted to try this.

We could do with some help from you.

Also send a copy of your CCA request letter to BW Legal saying that you trust that they will not be issuing a Statutory Demand before you receive a response to your CCA request.

 

They may or may not do this, but if they do proceed it makes them appear unreasonable if they serve it while you are waiting for information you are legally entitled to. Send that RD too.

Is an SD shown on my credit file even if it's set aside?

 

The SD is purely a letter from your creditors. Has not touched a court and appear nowhere. It can be used later, if the creditors wanted to proceed with bankruptcy, hence importance to set aside if you can. To set aside the SD, does not require you to pay any fee to the court.

Ok, please no shouting at me but I was really worried.

 

 

Have rung BW and in a nutshell:

I offered them a payment of £100 pcm but they said I need to provide an official I&E account before they will consider such a proposal.

 

 

They also said it's related to 2 debts..

..an old Vodafone account.

 

 

Now I haven't received a letter about this for quite some time and I certainly never signed a credit agreement.

 

 

It's only for £224. Now.....

 

 

....if I send off the CCA to Lowell and they can and do provide it, is it likely to **** BW off

so they don't accept my payment proposal?

 

 

Could they then pursue through the courts and take my house off me?

 

 

I believe there is enough capital in my house to cover anything I owe.

 

 

If I do send the CCA and it doesn't come back before the 18 days has expired,

what would I do?

 

Part of me thinks I should just try to set up the payment and ensure I can make payments so I can sleep easy between now and xmas!

CCA is not relevant to a mobile phone account, but would apply to a credit card.

 

Lowell/BW Legal have done what they have done to others. Group several debts together to look to make someone bankrupt.

 

Up to you what you do.

 

1) Send the CCA request. Look to set aside the statutory demand

 

or

 

2) Send a payment to BW Legal, with offer for further payments, with some basic income and expense details.
