    • a chargeback via a paypal account used in an ebay sale doesn't usually result in funds being sucked from your bank account,  just that you attain a paypal negative balance. as you saying the money was taken by paypal from your bank account without you authorising this? or is it directly the buyers name that is shown? regarding the chargeback but either way you bank account HAS been debited? dx  
    • what solicitor is the PAPLOC from? then just search xxxx snotty letter dx  
    • moved to the debt self help forum. plenty of like threads here to read along with the ones you've done so far..good work. last thing you ever want to do is look at any kind of IVO/BK or anything alike concerning consumer debt, never do that, turns unsecured debts into secured ones in many instances. your best bet for now is p'haps looks at  Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) sadly you have to go thru one of the free debt charities to invoke that but DON'T be tempted to also open up a DMP with them, just get the Breathing Space done. get that in place that gives you at leasy 60 days buffer you've also goto to realise you'll probably get a default once breathing space is in place, bit if not it might pay you to withhold payments even after BS then p'haps re start payments once a DN for each debt is issued and registered. at least that way, whatever happens in 6yrs the debt will drop off dx  
    • Hello, I am a private seller and recently sold a pair of trainers on eBay.  Everything seemed fine until just after the eBay 30 day mbg had expired.  The buyer contacted me with photos showing me that both shoes had ripped.  He wanted his money back, and after refusing to refund him, he then left me retaliatory and defamatory feedback on my profile to the effect that I had sold him fake trainers (this was removed by eBay).  He then initiated a chargeback via Paypal.  Invariably, the outcome was in his favour, and I have now been charged for the cost of the trainers.  I would have also been stung for the chargeback fee, but eBay refunded this.  Incidentally, I do have the email receipt of the trainers from when I bought them from a well-established and bona fide online retailer.  The susbequent conversation with eBay followed its predictable course, i.e. the chargeback is out of their hands etc. I have been in contact with citizens advice, and my bank.  Citizens advice told me that as a private seller I'm responsible for the "Title and description" of the goods, but not the performance, or the fitness for purpose.  To me it is clear; if you receive something that's not as described, you don't then use the goods, and more than 30 days later claim 'not as described'.  In my mind, this makes the claim fraudulent.  He's used the 'they're fake' card to give credence to a 'not as described' claim here, obviously, without any evidence.  My understanding is that the chargeback is unlawful, because the trainers were shipped as described.  However, I read something on an eBay forum regarding sellers having no statutory rights, i.e. no right to appeal against a chargeback decision, or to complain to the financial ombudsman.  Does this mean that if my bank disputes the charge on my behalf, it will be to no avail, even if it's recognisably a fraudulent chargeback?  I have reported it via the Action fraud website. Any advice, anyone?  Would be most grateful!
    • Thank you, I have drafted my letters and started to complete the reply form, printed from this site and not using the one they provided.    2 questions, on the forum link it says to tick box D & I, the reason for box D will be given on my thread, what would my answer be to "I dispute the debt"?  Do I send anything for the Vodafone debt they have included?  I've only done 118 loan s. 77 & capital one credit cards so. 78    Thank you

    • 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.

Good news one of the worst most aggressive and abusive lenders has finally had its wings clipped by the OFT.

 

Without giving too much away the evidence the OFT has is so overwhelming that closure is a certainty pending any miracle.

 

It is fantastic news that these companies are now suspended from operating in examples such as this.

 

A big thanks to everyone (You know who you are) that also stood witness statement against these less that desirable characters..

 

If anyone is interested the local news paper in the area this company traded are interested in hearing anyone with horror stories to add to their portfolio.

Their loan book will probably go the same way as Toothfairy's (on the assumption they don't get their licence back)

 

As it stands, I don't think they can collect anything yet.

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Cancel the CPA NOW! You can do this with your bank. Let whomever takes over the loans contact you rather than do the chasing yourself. If Microlends licence is fully cancelled, the new owners of the debt will contact you.

 

As for Toothfairy:

Thanks will do that now.... do you think the new owners will accept a kind of payment plan then

 

If you cannot afford to clear the loan then they should offer a payment plan based on you financial circumstances.

 

When the chasing starts, start a new thread and the others will be able to offer assistance.

came into 3 emails this morning all saying payment is overdue (which it isnt).

 

they have given me no reference number to use so how will they know the money is from me?

 

not sure what to do to be honest, if i pay the full amount, how are they going to know its from me and if they are now saying that's its overdue and adding charges, that's not what was agreed with microlend? i can afford to pay what i borrowed but dont want to pay charges which are not relevant.

 

having heard so many stories regarding Andrew Hart.......bit scary to be honest.

That's how interest is calculated. Changed from the 'rule of 78' a few years back.

Oh dear, if Andrew Hart has taken these debts over that's not good news for anyone. He'll chase and chase - there are some real horror stories on here about him, seems he doesn't mind a trip to the courts either.

 

Quite frankly I am amazed he still has a license, I thought the FCA were going to crack down on rogue lenders and he is the very definition of one

Yes, I recall reading some of the terms and conditions on his websites. As for the FCA, they take over from next month. Wonder what they will do?

Although they take over next month, I think they have had to get permission from them to keep lending on an interim basis, then at some point this year they'll have to undergo a full application. I've read the FCA website, looks like they're going to be quite strict on criteria so all we can hope for is that the really dodgy companies get rejected! I would have thought that the FCA would take into consideration forums like this as well, I bet they look at them

Hello Shaza,

 

Firstly do not worry – try and relax. It would be very stupid of Wage Payment and Payday Loans Limited t/a Payday Overdraft to start harassing anyone.

The first thing to do is forward on the correspondence you have received to the OFT investigating Micro Lend Ltd to: [email protected]

 

Mark the first line of your text:

 

FAO: Team investigating Mirco Lend Ltd, Unit 3, Colindale Business Park, 126 Colindale Avenue, NW9 5HD.

 

Tell the OFT you have received a multitude of demands for payment from a company claiming to have been assigned the loan book of Micro Lend and you are unsure if you should pay this company in respect of the on-going investigation in the Micro Lend.

 

I would be very surprised if the OFT would approve the loan book to be passed from one dodgy lender to one equally as dodgy with an appalling history of breaches against their guidelines.

 

I mean what is the point of the OFT closing down Mirco Lend if the loan book is just passed to an other unscrupulous lender.

 

There may even be some links between Mirco Lend and Wage Payment and Payday Loans Limited t/a Payday Overdraft. Although not easy to prove.

 

This could be an attempt by the owner of Mirco Lend aided and abetted by someone else he knows in the industry to get around the OFT suspension.

 

The most important thing though is to make the OFT aware what is going on in case they do not know.

Wow this is fastinating. Especially as the FOS think this is a perfectly reputable company and when I complained about them they told me that they had done 'nothing wong' and told me to pay them £1,500 for a £250 loan when they refused to send me a statement of account so I had no idea what the £1500 comprised of. Turns out £650 of that was debit cars fees charged during their total disregard of CPA rules....Don't you just love the FOS?
