    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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 have been contacted by a debt collecting company called Motor Mile Finance. I received a rather threatening letter from their solicitor called Neal Chatrath which I was not happy with. It was a carefully worded letter to cause maximum distress.

 

From reading postings on this company, I realised the threats were hollow. I sent this solicitor Neal Chatrath a suitable response and placed the account into official dispute. This alleged debt is in reference to a payday loan taken out in 2009. On checking my credit file Motor Mile Finance have defaulted this account 1/12/2012.

 

I have never taken out a payday loan.

 

Today I received a response from a Mr Barry Ellarshaw saying this account has been placed on hold and to expect a response within 4 weeks.

 

I am enclosing a copy of the first page of their complaints procedure enclosed with the letter from Barry Ellershaw for consideration

Place the debt in dispute, and address all correspondance to Rob sands complaince officer. Everything else will either go ignored, be replied with a bunch of whitewash, or theyll send more threats.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

On your credit file does it show a default with MMF? You mentioned about your credit file.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Send the prove it letter too

 

usual empty threats from pretend solicitors.

 

Chatrath is a qualified and properly registered solicitor wholly employed by MMF and they are indeed starting to use the courts.

I have been doing some digging on these payday loans from forum members. For the record i have never taken one out. My question is on Default notices.

 

It appears no default notice will be needed on a payday loan as they have to be paid back after 30 days. In my case, this fraud took place in 2009, yet the default registered with the credit agencies december 2012. That is three years after the account was closed.

Are you sure?

 

A default notice DOES still have to be issued.

 

You'll need to challenge MMF... That's not quite right about the default date.

It is correct a formal demand for payment which if not met results in the account being defaulted.

 

If the 'fraudulent' account was just closed as often happens in this sort of situation without being defaulted immediately the PDL will default immediately prior to selling the debt.

 

The way forward in the situation of a 'fraudulent' account is a formal complaint to the data controller at the PDL demanding that the entry be removed.

Neal Chatrath

I did receive a notification from experian about the addition of deleation of an account by MMF.

MMF have probably vanished their.... threatogram machine, as soon as a threat to their authority is seen all goes quiet let sleeping rats lay.

I have just received a letter from Mr Barry Ellershaw.

 

He has stated that if i consider this to be ID fraud then i need to get a crime reference number,

and send in a copy of my bank statement .

 

He then goes on about making a payment arrangement to clear this debt

 

What is even more shocking is that he has sent a put together credit agreement which is so bad my 8 year old son can do better.

it is stated as an electronically signed agreement.

 

Barry Ellershaw states in his opening paragraph that the loan was from june 2009 and purchased june 2012,

yet the agreement from them is dated october 2008.

 

I have stated that this is nothing to do with me yet they still send this so called credit agreement

 

You cannot make this up it is so preposterous

 

How are these cowboys allowed to continue to operate with their blatant disregard for the law

Sounds typical MMF stupidity!! Try the following.

 

 

Private & Confidential

 

 

Mr Rob Sands

Director of Compliance

MMF Ltd

 

 

Date:

 

 

Ref: use theirs:

 

 

 

 

Dear Mr Sands,

 

 

I refer to a letter from Barry Ellershaw dated xx.xx.xxxx (copy enclosed for clarity), Mr Elllershaw clearly states the account relating to this alleged debt was opened in JUNE 2009.

 

 

The childish attempt a producing a " reconstituted" agreement is dated OCTOBER 2008 as this is clearly a fabrication the "reconstituted " agreement is totally refuted and it does not satisfy my request made under sections 77/78 of CCA 1974.

 

 

I am sending a copy of Mr Ellershaws letter and the alleged agreement to the OFT/FCA with a formal complaint regarding the conduct of MMF Ltd.

 

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to MMF Ltd., and I know consider the matter closed.

 

 

Send by recorded signed for post.

I am completely baffled as to why MMF are getting away with all this, they must know they have a very sour lemon of an alleged debt portfolio.

 

My main problem from my bad PDL days is now phone calls from another company - but they have been reported to the OFT, FOS, ICO etc and I am waiting replies from those organisations.

 

The whole PDL debt collecting side of the so-called industry seems to be as poor as the business practices in general - but luckily sites like this exist to inform people of their rights, rather than the 'implied rights' the DCAs seem to think they have.

Theyre already under investigation. Sadly though, people rarely complain. I still really hope they pick up my sb debts though. Theyre with arrow/restons atm and theyre not doing much.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
