    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

Hi everyone am new to this forum so please bare with me!

 

Long story short,

 

I am on a DMP after not handling credit well at all and spending more than I could afford..

. I had a lightbulb moment 18 months ago and now have 18 months roughly left on it...

 

I have checked my credit files and noticed that 4 creditors have issued defaults,

1 of which I have had removed as they did not issue default notice as it was all online based..

. I am waiting for copies of the other 3 DN but one has written back with this:

 

 

 

11 December 2013

 

Our Ref:

 

Dear

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

 

I am sorry to hear you don't remember receiving a default notice, sent to you in June 2012

This must have been worrying when you obtained your credit report.

 

I can understand why you've asked for a copy, for your records.

 

The original Default Notice was sent to you on 14 June 2012 and we're not obliged to keep a photocopy of it,

or send the document by recorded delivery.

But I have attached a copy of what would have been sent, which I hope you'll find helpful.

 

I need to let you know that even if we had not sent you a Default Notice (which we have),

we would still be entitled to record arrears and defaults on your credit files.

This is because the Data Protection Notice is included in our Terms and Conditions,

which you accepted when you placed orders with us.

 

"If we enter into a credit agreement with you, we will also supply details of your agreement with us to the credit reference agencies,

as well ongoing details of your account and how you manage it.

 

If you do not repay on time, or in full, we will advise the credit reference agencies who will record details of the debt.

 

All this information will be seen by other organisations carrying out later searches."

 

Now the thing they have sent attached nowhere states they are planning on issuing a default..

. It's a bulk standard letter saying I need to phone them to discuss arrears

and that if I don't they "may pass the account to a DCA, may register a default and I won't be able to use the account".

 

My question is is this adequate as a DN?

 

How should I respond to them?

 

The account was from next but currently with a DCA with a low balance I could clear in the next week

but want this removed as I kept all paperwork and no they didn't send what I feel is a proper DN...

 

Sorry about the long post,

any help would be appreciated as we are looking to buy a bigger house in the next 3 years and this obviously impacts on my credit!

It was with next online directory, when I started the DMP it was passed to a DCA with a balance of just over £100... I only had the account running about 6 months before I started the DMP... I kept all correspondence and have this letter but no DN... Sorry I'm new so don't really no what info would be useful!

I really hope the DMP is not a fee paying one

and that you have sent a CCa request to all those being paid through it?

 

as for the next catalogue default.

 

all they have to do is prove that a DN 'was sent'

 

that's all

 

they appear to be able to do that.

 

who's the debt with now please?

 

whats the name against the account on the CRa file?

 

and whom are you paying?

The DMP is a free one through stepchange formerly CCCS, I however haven't sent a CCA request to any of them? Without sounding stupid what is the purpose of this as I know I owe the money to the creditors so am happy paying what I owe...?

 

My credit file still shows up as next PLC rather than the DCA... I can't remember the DCA name will have a look through all my paperwork and find it

well if your cra file shows Next

 

then you can safely ignore the DCa

 

they can do nowt to you.

 

good you are with step change.

 

trouble with all DMP's free or fee is they never check IF the debt is legit

and whom you pay HOLD the correct paperwork.

that's the idea of the CCa request.

 

if the debts are still shown as being owned by the original creditors

and you are paying a DCA - you need to question why?

 

pay the OC's direct, then the dca's cant take their cut.

 

as for the 'default'

 

does the account show 1,2,3,4,5,6 red 6 or 8?

if I sent a CCA request to all my creditors

I could stop paying them if they didn't hold the correct paperwork?

 

Wouldn't that still show on my credit file as the debt but the balance wouldn't reduce every month which would have a negative effect?

 

Even though my credit is shot to pieces anyway!

 

I use noddle for my credit report, it goes from a number 4 to DF?

 

I guess it's not going to be very likely to get the default removed then :(

 

I know it's my own stupid fault for not being able to handle credit was just hoping to be able to tidy it up a bit..

 

. Bit gutted that the default for just over £100 has such a big consequence!

 

Wish someone had explained just how bad a default was!!!

 

Thanks for all your help

 

so far will fire off some CCA requests as I know some of them were applied for online and so I didn't sign anything

Just another quick question as you've been so helpful...

 

One of the Creditors I contacted have emailed to say that as it is with a DCA they will hold the copy of the DN (even though it was the OC that issued it)

 

I have since emailed the DCA who say that's as the OC (studio catalogue) issued it they should hold the DN!

 

Am a bit confused now! Is the OC just trying to fob me off?! X

once a default has been issued

 

the WHOLE DEBT, will disappear from your cra file on the defaults 6th birthday.

 

might be an idea to list your debts

and whom you pay via CCCS

My debts are

 

Santander x2 credit cards

Nationwide credit card

Capital one credit card

Vanquis credit card

Studio catalogue

Next catalogue

ISME catalogue

Little woods catalogue

Jacamo

Wonga

 

I have defaults on the 2 santander cards, wonga and studio catalogue and next catalogue.

 

Studio have replied saying that as it is now with wescot DCA that they hold the DN even though it was studio that issued it.

 

Wonga have emailed saying they are under no obligation to supply me the day it was issued or a copy of the DN...

 

Next replied as above

 

Sanander have replied saying they are obtaining copies and will post them to me within 14 days...

 

Just a bit thrown by them saying they don't have to supply copies tbh I thought they did!

no one has to supply copies of DN's

 

under the ico guidelines

 

all they have to do is prove, by a note in say the comms log etc.

 

that one was sent.

 

seems like you might have some reclaiming to do here?

 

are all your debts showing on your cra file?

dont bother trying to reclaim catalouge fees it doesnt work unless its over the 12 pounds threshold as they and the oft deem that to be fair and just.any of your debts that have been sold to a dca first thing to do is ask them for documentation of proof ie:deeds of assighnment,deeds of novation.if they have bought the debt they will have to provide you with copys of these documents which they wont have as they buy portfolios of debt with no paperwork for pennys.

sri thats not correct.

the OFT/FSA did not deem £12 fair , it just said they would not seek further enforcement under £12

 

it is STILL a PENALTY charge and tthus unlawful

 

and you wont see the deeds either

 

sounds a bit FoTl stuff to me.

im not a member of fotl.i have used this approach on 5 alledged debts and all were closed even when they provided a sighned ca.5 out of 5 is a 100% success rate.so yes it does work.obviously you have to be prepared to go to court but once you know how these dca operate you will loose your fear.they cannot provide a deed of assighment or deed of novation which is needed for any claim to be legal and lawfull.so when your requesting a ca also request those deeds and dont be fobbed of with any crap your not allowed to see them.wake up sheeples and stop paying these ****.i would appreciate if the 2posters who mention fotl could enlighten me why all 5 of my alledged debts were closed using this approach.considering sighned ca were supplied by the dca and they wernt sb
