    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • 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.

I have an issue with my bank but what worries me is even if i were to win in small claims court could the banks appeal? If they did would the costs get rather large?

No. If it starts as a small claim then even if it is appealed, it stays on the small claims track

Hi,

I need some advice on the following,

can you carry on making pro-rata payments after you have put an account into dispute ?

 

I want to put my husbands cc account into dispute but I do not want it to look as though he trying to avoid paying what he owes.

 

It had PPI on it and it is the one that is still with the FOS

 

I need time to work out what he actually owes as he now has his SAR info I can fill in the blanks created by missing statements.

 

Thankyou.

Hi Brig,

the debt is on a card taken out when the current account was opened June 1999 to allow his wages to be paid in locally,the card was never used.

 

2005 he's working away and uses the card account shortly after he notices the extra payments going out (PPI) but makes the mistake of thinking he is paying for protection against card fraud.

 

2010 he's out of work but carries on the payments until it was realized what he was actually paying and he put in a claim to the bank,rejected.Complaint sent to FOS.

He carries on paying until finally in March this year he can't,defaulted in April I believe.

 

Managed after several months to get HSBC to accept pro-rata payments,

bank tells him they are passing account to Metro,

payments still being made to HSBC.

 

SAR material shows that HSBC did not fill in FOS form sent to them early 2011.

 

Have not got through all the documents yet so do not know if they ever did.

 

Documents show that the HSBC are inferring that the cc account was opened May 2004

and that my husband was still in the job that he had in 1999 when he opened his account,

he had not worked there for 2 years and apart from 1 DD had not used the current account or the cc.

 

As he still waiting for a decision from the FOS and the delay appears to have been caused by the bank

 

I feel it would be unfair to allow them to pass the debt to Metro or for him to be taken to court on this if he has a valid claim,

 

so I wondered if he could carry on with his pro-rata payments and dispute the debt at the same time.

 

I would like to calculate how much he would owe if the PPI was out of the equation.

 

He is not disputing that he owes them money only not the amount they say.

 

I hope you can make sense of this :???:

Hi Ro, yes continue the minimum payments it's a wise move.

 

The data is wrong obviously if your hysband took the CC in 1999 that is what must show on the data.

Does the CRA file an inception date?

 

There is enough erroneous information there for a complaint to the banks Data Controller, check the rest of the data you have received see if the FOS form has been completed then I'll put something together for you if you wish.

Thanks Brig,

CRA shows the inception date as May 2004

 

HSBC supplied a signed DD statement by way of saying he knowingly took PPI on that date

 

we have found a letter the bank sent to the FOS saying it was a postal sale and he signed for it

 

the only dealings he had with the bank in 2004 was to pay money in for a DD.

 

I can't say they were lying but I don't think they were telling the truth.

 

I'll spend the weekend sifting through it all,

 

many many thanks

Oh this is not a fun weekend,

 

HSBC sent the FOS sometime after 15th May this year a letter stating that "I can confirm this was a postal sale which is confirmed by the pre-approved CC agreement that was sent to Mr Blah to sign and return if he wished to take out the card."

 

Below is a historic snapshot showing the PPI being debited from his card.There are 3 examples of these.

 

Problem for me the number listed next to Gold CC ending 6165 on one sheet shows opened 16-04-2012 document sent to FOS has it being in use Jan 2011.

I have four numbers listed as Gold CC, two I can track transactions on, two I cannot,my husband thinks they may be the PPI numbers would they be listed as credit cards ?

 

 

:frusty:

Actually this may all be irrelevant,

 

PPI payments started being applied 2005 after my husband became self employed

which the bank was aware of and there are documents relating to this in the SAR

 

although we believe the PPI was attached to the card taken in 1999 when he opened his account

he never used the card until 2005 .

 

So not bad as he also had PPI on the loan taken out in 2005.

 

To sign for one PPI is unfortunate to sign for two could be seen as carelessness........sorry Oscar

Hi Brig,

I have not found anything else that appears relevant the salient point

 

seems to be HSBC say the account +card with PPI was opened and signed for May 2004

we know this is not the case.

 

However as the whole thing stems from a PPI complaint it is obvious now that both the CC PPI and the loan PPI were added 2005

first reference on statement history is March 2005.

 

A more pressing matter has now arisen as my husband has received a letter from Metropolitan saying cough up or else

and I am going to put the account into dispute whilst maintaining the pro-rata repayments agreed with HSBC ,

 

a reply to the CCA request should arrive in the next couple of days and the fog in my brain may have cleared by then . :pray:

Hi Ro,( ooh that sounds Chinese ). You are taking the right course of action.

somthing to challenge this.

Hi Brig,

this is all I could extract-it's not much.

 

1.Document showing customer since 07-06-1999 commencement of current account 08-06-1999. 3 updates of account shown 1st one date unknown other 2 dated-22-07-2002.

 

2.Document dated 25-05-2004 shows previous address and card number ending 802.employment details wrong as husband had not worked at this job for some 2 years. Data input by number ending 417.

 

3.Document same as above but dated 24-05-2004 but no previous address or card number shown.Data input by number ending 658.

 

4.Document same as 3.Data input by number ending 658.

 

5.Document showing CC end numbers 802 opened **25-5-2004.**** 1 update on 22-07-2002.**

 

6.Document showing CC end numbers** 173 opened 02-11-2009**.1 update on**

 

Statement history earliest date for CC 802 is 08-03-05.

 

Nothing in the SAR material goes back to May 2004

 

I don't think there is much that can be done with this do you ?

 

regards

Ro

Hi Ro,

 

Something is not right, account opened 1999 was a current account according to the bank?

Your belief is that this was in fact a credit card account?

Coould the 2004 card be a new card perhaps an upgrade of a previous one?

 

5 Shows card ending in 802 opened 25 05 2004 one update on 22.07 *2002* updated before it was issued.

 

If I'm thinking right here there a probably 3 cards, 1 original 2 up dates/ replacements.

Makes me think the records have been doctored!!!
