    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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

 

 

They have written again by email,

 

 

now asking for £256.63 which is interest and charges only as the original loan and interest was paid.

 

 

They say again that their litigation team will be assessing my acoPiers Morgan for court action.

 

 

To stop this from happening i can pay the £256.63 reduced by 10% and paid in 3 monthly installments,

or pay it in six installments with interest freezed.!

 

 

OK, like im going to give them more money, but they are scaring me now and i do see they go to court.

But surely, they cant go to court on inetrest and charges.

 

 

I was with step change and they shouldnt have added all the extra charges and interest.

 

 

I have written to them and told them its unlawful,

 

 

i also sent a letter recorded delivery that they have got saying i have paid the full amount borrowed plus one month interext

and i now consider the account closed.

 

 

They are harrassing me, i need a strong reply

 

 

PLease help

 

 

Thanks

Ignore them for the time being, only respond to them ''IF'' they issue a summons.

 

Keep a diary of events, and have a read of the Malicious communications act

 

Give a dog a bone and it will keep coming back, keep responding to their puerile threat letters is having

the same reaction.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Any of their silly text messages can be forwarded to 7726 (SPAM) on your phone keypad, this will go to your network provider who will mark it as such, and forward it to the ICO for investigation at a later date in order to close down the likes of these companies who abuse the system, such as PPI claims an NWNF accident claims companies.

 

Emails, just mark them as Junk, or Block them in your email inbox.

 

Telephone calls, send them this http://http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387367-Harassment-by-Telephone-%28update-21.04.2014%29

Send it 2nd class post but obtain 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter.

  • 2 weeks later...

Just got this,

getting worried and they've had their money plus I see they do go to court a lot.

But can they take you to court on unlawful charges etc

 

Following our recent correspondence last week giving you the two options on settling the debt.

We are currently assessing your account for court action,

we are looking to work with you and want to give you the opportunity to settle the debt with an affordable payment arrangement.

 

You haven't put forward a suitable payment arrangement or provided debit card details to set an arrangement up.

We do want to resolve this amicably and look to avoid court action when possible.

We would look to move forward with a County Court Judgement (CCJ) and Attachment of Earnings (AOE).

If we choose to go down this route court fees and costs will be added to your account.

 

If payment isn't made nor an arrangement set up on the account,

we may feel asking the courts to intervene the best option on resolving this debt.

 

Your current balance today is £256.63,

if you want to make a one of payment to settle the account please put forward your proposal.

 

We look forward to your response.

Our contact number is 01253 603951

e you will be transferred through to our Customer Relationship Manager.

 

Kind Regards,

 

1st Stop Recoveries

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

Ignore them, you're really reading far too much into their petty missives.

 

A debt made up solely of charges will never get a look in at court.

 

They may attempt it, but with the correct defence the judge will laugh, and throw it out.

 

This is nothing more than their computer spitting out puerile missives on the speak & spell, let them willy wave all they like.
