    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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

I'm writing on behalf of a freind who's first language isn't English.

I'm going to recount the facts as they were told to me.

 

He bought bedroom furniture from Betta Bedrooms.

Because the offer was interest free credit on purchases

he agreed, paid a deposit and signed and returned the relevant forms to Consumer Credit Solutions

 

The cost of the furniture was £2,458 - date of agreement Nov 19 2012.

The terms of the agreement were 0% credit on purchases.

 

Direct debit started Dec 19th 2012 @£62.8 p.month. leaving him, plus the deposit paid, approx. £1,400 to pay.

 

He has never received a statement of account or any other paperwork (except the contract which he can't find)

 

Two months ago he received a call from Moneyway

(who for some reason have taken the loan over)

informing him of the balance owing..

.which including interest is £2,574.80 including interest !!!

 

He spoke to me and I told him to ask for a statement of account & copy of the contract.

 

Only the statement arrived consisting of the DD payments

 

It consisted of his address, the date and adds £1,310.00 in the first entry for interest.

 

It doesn't state what the interest is APR.

..he has told them there was no interest to pay but they seem to just ignore that.

 

I know him well enough to know that he would not have signed up to pay interest on purchases.

 

Although he speaks English well...he is at a disadvantage in this type of situation.

 

Because I'm acting on someone elses behalf I need to know I'm doing the right thing for him.

 

I am assuming that my next step is to request a SAR from Moneyway

(not the original company who had the loan)

- using your (very conveniently) :clap2: provided template.

 

I haven't asked if he was charged insurance yet !!

 

As always, thanks for your help in advance

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

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

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi

 

I'll know more when I see the contract. However he's paid by direct debit in a timely fashion and the interest has been added to the first day of the contract being in force.

 

Also the three months deposit has not been deducted or acknowledged in the statement

 

We shall see - but he is adamant he read through the contract carefully, however I would tend to agree that he didn't read the 'small print'.

 

I'll be back !!!:???:

 

 

Thanks again

Disagree with DXs premise of Moneyway being a DCA. they are not a DCA, they are a legitimate loan company.

I wonder if the loan book was sold on to them.

 

They are still obliged to provide a copy of the CCA.

With that in mind, please raise a complaint with Moneyway. He is entitled to see the CCA and also at least a yearly statement including any payments made etc

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi BRIGADIER2JCS !

The original loan to pay for the furniture seems to be a standard service which purchase transaction which BETTA BEDROOMS subscribe to called Consumer Credit Solutions.

 

I can see no reason for them to have passed the loan over to Moneyway :confused:

 

The statement they provided excluded the 3 months deposit in the calculation and added the interest at the top of the statement to the purchase price making a total loan figure of the two combinedas the initial sum owed.

 

Even if he didn't read the small print and interest free period was only one year - interest is not payable on the whole loan as their calculation shows.

 

Again I repeat there is no interest rate shown/ nothing at all

 

Regards

I suspect that this credit provider has been adsorbed into the same group of companies as Moneyway.

 

 

We need to be clear as to the 12 Months interest free set up, it means that the account has to be completely repaid within the 12 months period if the debtor fails to repay in that period interest becomes payable on the amount loaned.

 

 

When was the 12 month started, how many payments have been made?

Hi

 

He can't seem to be able to find the original contract but is adamant the transaction was interest free for the duration.

 

I assume I need to send a SAR....do I send it for him to Moneyway.

Yes a SAR to Moneyway is a good idea , however this may not provide a copy of the original agreement as there is no obligation to supply it with a SAR.

 

 

I would also send a CCA request at the same time, Fee for SAR £10: Fee for CCA request £1 there's templates in the CAG library for these.
