    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • 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     .

    • 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.

2) Do Erudio have a legal requirement to provide them?

3) How do I go about asking?

 

Appreciate any help ... thank you.

Update: ..

 

Well none really as Eruido have still to send me a copy of the original loan agreements.

 

What do I do if they do not send these copies by the required date which is 16th April?

 

Also..

while reading through the many messages on this wonderful website

it has been mentioned that if you took the loans out before you were 40

they would be cancelled when you reached 50.

 

 

I had my first S loan in 1995 when I were 37 and my last in 1998 when I were 40.

 

 

Should the first 3 loans have been cancelled 6 years ago when I reached 50 anyway ?

 

 

I have always deferred payments as I have never reached their payment threshold and never will.

I am also on long term disability not sure if that changes anything.

 

Your help is very much appreciated as always.

According to a chart over on MSE, you have two grounds for the earlier loans. Aged under 40, debt wiped at 50 and also unfitness to work.

 

For the 1998 loan, if you are classed as never being able to work again, this could also be wiped.

 

As for the CCA request, if they fail to supply, complain.

 

As an aside, have you received anything from Erudio asking for your signature on any documents NOT related to deferment. I.E, new terms and conditions?

[As an aside, have you received anything from Erudio asking for your signature on any documents NOT related to deferment. I.E, new terms and conditions?]

 

All I received was an initial letter informing me that they had purchased my SL from SLC and that they would be sending more info . I then received there long winded deferment form which asks for way more information than they legally require. I have not sent this back as I am awaiting the copies of the original loan agreements.

 

I am still on deferment until May 2014 .

How do you deal with people who just ignore you?

I have sent all correspondence via recorded signed for and have kept proof of sending. All the letters have been received and signed for [i have kept a copy of their signature.]

 

I assume they will ignore me until the end of my deferment when I will no doubt get accused of defaulting and then receive a demand for full payment.

 

Who do I need to complain to about this and should I still send Eruido a request for deferment even though they are ignoring my letters?

 

As always .. any help is appreciated.

Janmarie

you need do nothing more until they respond to your CCA request,

 

do not return deferment form and

 

do not return any thing until they respond to your CCA request.

 

If they are beyond the 12+2 working days they are in default already.

 

In effect, by sending a CCA you are disputing the alleged debt they claim to own,

and by them failing to respond you can only assume they are liars

and no debt between you and them exists until they do respond to your CCA request.

 

Do not fear their threats of default as this will be deemed vexatious as they failed to prove to you that you have any contract with them

and their deferment deadline is not something you need worry about as your account is now in dispute .

 

...so sit back, relax and do nothing until tthey fulfil your CCA request. :)

Not that it needs be - but I second what warrens just told you. I'm in exactly the same position as you, and can assure you - they will get nowhere with their lies and attempts at manipulation with me.

 

Your accounts frozen - they can't then turn around once/if they unfreeze it and say deferment has been missed and your in default, as it was their incompetence that caused the situation. Otherwise companies would always hold up paperwork then say you missed the deadline.

Incidently, failure to respond to a CCA request isn't a golden ticket - http://www.oft.gov.uk/about-the-oft/legal-powers/legal/cca/unenforceable-credit-agreements#.U1_7WFdWiVo

 

But stick to your guns.

 

As far as i understand it, since they cant get a judgement then their trump card is no good so the debt is dead in the water till its written off. They'll whine, but its nothing more than hot air. Also as i understand it, if they produce a Credit agreement in the future then you have to play ball again.

 

If thats wrong someone let me know!

I received a letter from ERUDIO this morning informing me that I am now in arrears of £354.74

and that I should pay ASAP or they will pass it on to their debt dept.

 

I really do not think its worth writing to these people again.

 

As you can see from my previous messages they have totally ignored every letter I have previously sent.

 

I requested a copy of my credit agreement way back in March.

 

I have also sent three other letters regarding the cancellation of the first three loans as I took them out before I was 40

and was told that they should be cancelled when I reached 50,

 

I am now 56.

 

Not one reply from them.

 

Any advice is welcome :)

This company just makes me laugh!

 

They have ignored every letter I have sent both via e-mail and royal mail,

 

 

yet claim that I am ignoring them.

 

 

My arrears now stand at £800+ and they have started to phone me daily

[i have their number blocked but I keep a log of who actually calls]

Yes I have sent them the " do not phone me" request.

 

Today I receive yet another letter from them claiming that I have failed to contact them

and that I need to set up a direct debit with them urgently! ... AS IF!

 

Still waiting for that CCA request to be fulfilled ... 8 months and counting

 

I can keep this up for ever ... its quite entertaining to be honest!

Received a letter from them today ...... I quote:

 

"Telephone us at your earliest convenience to discuss the outstanding arrears on your account.

If you fail to contact us within 14 days it could lead to us taking steps to default your account.

 

 

This could result in you losing the right to defer your loan repayments and to other benefits

such as age related cancellation and payment by instalments.

 

 

If you do not clear these arrears, this may also lead to possible legal action and placement of your account with a debt collection agency.

 

Please do not ignore this letter.

 

 

This is a serious matter and non payment may affect your ability to obtain credit both now and in the future,

as a default may be registered with credit reference agencies regarding the conduct of your account."

 

I am pretty sure I know the answer to the following questions

but could someone in the know just confirm it for me as I am having a weak moment.:frown:

 

I sent a CCA request back in March with the correct fee and they have refused to acknowledge it

and every other letter I have sent them since.

 

 

I send recorded and I also send a copy via e-mail.

I keep proof of posting, screen shots from track & trace etc.

 

 

What more can I do if they will not acknowledge Me?. If its to make a complaint whom do I complain to?

 

Am I correctly assuming that the above is just another tactic to get me to just roll over,

especially mentioning the age related cancellation part, as it is part of the issue I have with them in the first place?.

 

 

I took the loans out before I was 40 and I am now 56.

 

Does my account remain legally in dispute until they comply with the CCA request?

 

As always I appreciate any help :)

Update:

 

I am still receiving demand/threatening and default letters from them and they are continuing to ignore every letter I send.

 

 

Apart from one letter I received on Dec 18th which confirmed that they had received the letter which I sent back in JULY

and that they were now investigating it.

 

Phone calls have stopped which is a plus.

 

I will keep you updated.

 

Thanks again for your help!

Their next move was to start harassing me by phone AGAIN!

 

 

I have logged 16 calls since beginning of the month.

 

 

I have their number blocked but I keep a log of who actually calls and

I have sent them the " do not phone me" request a few times in the past.

 

 

They do try the "withheld" number route occasionally but those are blocked too - It just goes straight to answerphone.

 

I'm going to play the "if you ignore me I am gonna ignore you" game ....

 

Waits with bated breath on their next move...

 

BRING IT ON!:madgrin:

It took almost a year ... but they finally sent me my CCA request details. [The one which should have been sent within 12 days]

 

I need some advice on what to do next.

 

My circumstances have not changed nor will they.

 

Do I now have to apply for deferment as per their rules and after all this time are they going to back date it...?

 

As always any help is appreciated.
