    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

I have had a look at page 3 and all the others but can't see where I have left a reference number.

 

I have downloaded the spread sheet and also tried to open it but a box appears saying the programme is unable to run due to missing or corrupt files. I have tried a few times without success.

 

As far as the loan that remains and what Lloyds are chasing, we have had nothing back except a statement of payments made and we don't know what my friend is paying £25 per month for. We did expect some agreements back which would explain what it was but nothing came How does he stand now?

 

Regards and many thanks.

From what you've said it sounds like the loan is with the collections department. What they would normally do is setup a payment plan for people who regularly miss payments, this is something they do in agreement with the customer. Is it possible your friends wife did this before she passed away?

Hi. I have my friend with me as I write this reply.

 

He has no knowledge of what this current liability is for.

 

One of his letters say's 'current account loan', he has no idea what that is.

 

The SAR and the CCA requests did quote the reference numbers on the request letter

and given they did include the statement relating to that account in the SAR and CCA request bundle,

suggests that all they do have is just the statement and nothing else.

 

My friend states that any agreement made to pay a monthly amount must of been made by his late wife otherwise he would remember.

 

When she passed away my friend contacted Lloyds and asked about the payment being made to them

in particular what it was for,

they simply said it was a joint account and had to be paid.

 

This was just a few weeks after she had died and not a good time to deal with such matters.

 

Hope that helps?

Hi.

 

Many thanks again for your help and advice.

I do have open office and will have a go again at opening the file.

 

The original SAR and CCA request did include the reference numbers relating to this debt,

I still have a copy of it and it is the only reference number that I did quote,

do we need to do another SAR or CCA request given that's already been done?

 

I have replied to another post and copied that below which I think covers what your saying.

 

My friend has no issue about stopping payment given he has no idea what it's for

and Lloyds have not come back with any paper work to explain it,

he is just concerned about any potential action that Lloyd's may take.

Hi DX.

 

We are now going to write to Lloyds and tell them no further payments

and the reason is he does not know what he is paying for.

 

e will also mention that nothing was in the SAR and CCA bundle to explain it either.

 

If it is the case that they can not give a clear answer what are the chances of getting the payments made back?

Hi.

 

Just as we thought Lloyds had sent everything

 

a box arrived with over 4000 pages of data.

 

It all seems to relate to the three loans that were paid off when my friends wife passed away.

 

The only loan still active seems to have no paper work as noted on the scanned letter attached.

 

Could you advise please.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi.

 

I have now looked through over 5000 sheets of paperwork

and isolated everything that relates to this one debt.

 

It relates to a 'premier' joint bank account from 2004.

 

The account was started with a £500 overdraft facility and looking through all the bank statements

the account was never in credit up to when it was closed 16 Sept 2009 when it is marked as 'TFR to CDR' with a dept of £3,375.47.

 

Since that time payments were being made via a debt management company up to my friends wife passing away in May 2011.

 

The statements show that every year or so the overdraft was increased in the following amounts:

07/2005 - £1500

08/2007 - £1800

08/2008 - £2500

 

That is everything on file regarding this debt.

Your advice is appreciated.

 

Unrelated, but I also found his original mortgage agreement which he paid off last year with inheritance funds after his father died, nearly £50k

was paid to Lloyds pay off the mortgage.

 

On the agreement, and clear as day, showing the mortgage had full insurance cover.

 

The agreement is now being looked at by a Solicitor,

because looking at agreement the policy should of paid off the mortgage when his wife died.

the DMC should have had interest stopped as well as charges stopped

then there would be no need for an OD increase

 

i'd also hit Lloyds with an irresponsible lending claim

if they have simply upp'd the OD limit

without consultation

looks like they were in cahoots with the DMP provider

 

who was this?

Hi.

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

The account was overdrawn from day one and continued to be overdrawn for close on 5 years when it was closed.

 

Once the overdraft limit was reached the limit increased over this period.

 

Once it was given to the dept management company charges were stopped, or I think they were.

 

I will find out the answers to your questions and report back tomorrow.

Hi.

 

The overdraft was only increased whilst the account was in use and before the debt management company got involved.

 

The debt mamnagement company was 'Lawrence Charlton'.

 

Once they became involved no further charges were made on the account, that would be in 2009.

and the account was closed.

 

my friends wife died in May 2011,

 

Lawrence Charlton had no further dealings when all debts, except this one bank account, were written off.

 

Are you saying to now put a claim for irresponsible lending?

 

I know my friend had no idea of the increasing overdraft and was never consulted when it was clear the account was out of control,

all the banks dealings were done with his late wife.

 

Thanks in advance.

The advice given by dx100 uk is spot on irresponsible lending/unfair trading, to continue increasing the OD limit purely to accommodate, fees/charges/interest is wrong.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.
