    • So you have your refund? If you have your refund what's the problem?? What money have you wasted in getting a refund/ how have you wasted money in getting a refund? You can't sue them because they took too long to refund. The emails I gave you earlier were because I thought you didn't get a refund yet. If you already have it im not sure what your expecting?
    • Octopus are very approachable so I would suggest you contact them, advise them paying the amount in one go is going to cause you hardship and ask if it could be paid off at an agreed rate of an additional £xx to the next few months bills. I'd be surprised if they didn't agree.
    • Dear Forum Can someone read the letter I received from Barclaycard and comment, I made an offer for full and final settlement of a Barclaycard debt and received this letter as terms of the agreement and acceptance of my offer. I have paid the money. My credit file is still not updated to show the settlement and when I enquired on the phone, they confirmed the account was closed and I would not have to pay the outstanding balance, I pointed out that the payment I made was for the final settlement of the outstanding balance, and that they agree to clear the rest of the debt and why were they still referring to a balance, the person went off and spoke to a manager and said what they mean by clear the debt is to clear my liability to pay the balance, that is not how I understand clearing a debt to mean, I did not argue further as I thought to wait to see how the settlement is described in my credit file when it is updated as sometimes the person you talk to on the phone does not know what is going on.   They are saying there is nothing to pay and the account is closed, but I worry are they up to something?   Barclaycard.pdf
    • bobandi,  Has your Ex made a domestic abuse/violence allegation about you to police, specifically that she is a victim of financial coercive control by you? Are you currently awaiting a CPS charging decision, presumably under the Domestic Abuse Act? You said earlier that you are expecting a decision on whether to charge you this week or next.  If this is your position I assume you are on police bail. If so is it a bail condition that you do not contact your Ex? So can't ask her what her debts are?

    • 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 have an account with Vanquis that went into arrears.

 

Organised a payment plan with them but had to stop as hubby was made redundant and could not afford it.

 

Heard nothing from Vanquis

but got letter from Moorcroft saying they were handling debt.

 

Then a couple of months ago started getting statements from Vanquis with a note on the statement that debt had been passed to Moorcroft.

 

PRA have now been phoning and writing (since about 2 weeks ago) saying they are now responsible for the debt!!!

 

My query is this

- if I am still receiving statements does this mean my account is in default?

 

If it says on the Vanquis statement that Moorcroft are responsible

can PRA still contact me as have been getting at least 4 calls a day on my mobile which I have not been answering.

 

Should I carry on paying Vanquis even though they have not acknowledged my reduced payment plan now that they are sending me statements?

 

The debt is for £1516.

Any advice.

Hi - I have checked my credit report and all it has is Vanquis no Moorcroft or PRA.

 

Can Vanquis still send me statements (last one I received as 29/11/15)

saying debt is being handled by Moorcroft and then also get a letter from PRA saying they are dealing with the debt.

 

 

Can two debt collection agencies handle the debt at the same time and if yes should they not be on the credit report.

 

I don't understand why I am receiving monthly statements if my account has been "handed over" as well???

Any advice?

No two DCA's cannot handle the account at the same time, so sit on your hands, and wait until they fight it out amongst themselves as to which creche is going to chase you for this account.

 

You should receive an annual statement of account, which will tell you the figure owing.

 

Have you received a default notice, and then a termination letter afterwards?

 

Is the figure going up, down or staying the same?

 

Keep everything in writing, if they call and you answer, laugh and hang up.

aha not been sold on then

you can totally ignore the silly dca's

 

 

they are not bailiffs and

have no such legal powers

 

 

carry on paying Vanquis direct

have you written to them regarding your financial troubles?

 

 

and asked them to freeze interest and penalty charges [which can be reclaimed]

 

 

as well as the ROP [PPI]

Hi - yes they have stopped interest etc and agreed on a payment plan which went a bit out the window for a couple of months due to hubby loosing his job.

 

They are sending me monthly statements were the figure is the same but it says on the statement next to the account summary that I should contact moorcraft as it has been passed over to them to recover the outstanding debt.

 

If that is the case why are they still sending me monthly statements with payment due date etc and also why is another company chasing for the debit.

 

Just received December statement with a due date of 04/01/16.

 

Soooo confusing.

its not confusing

the original creditor has simply asked a couple

of no powers DCA's to give you a kick.

 

 

the dca's can safely be totally ignored

they don't own the debt

the original creditor does.

 

 

just carry on as you were.

 

 

and get reclaiming!

Agreed, Keep paying as you are, you can ignore the powerless DCA.

 

As long as you are paying the OC then there is nothing they can do, and hopefully they might eventually realise that these tin pot DCA's are a waste of energy.

Hi and thanks. Very clear now

- understand that is still owned by Vanquis and not the other two!!

 

 

Have had no notice of assignment etc so was also a bit confused as I did not also fancy any more dca's coming on board!!!

 

Just as a matter of interest,

if you pay one of the dca does the money go to them or the original creditor.

Was just wonder if it does go to the dca's if they make their payments!!!

 

 

Thanks for your help clearing this up, much appreciated.

The money will go to the DCA if you pay them, they will then take their cut of the money before passing on the rest of it to the OC.

 

This is why you should never pay a powerless DCA, unless they own the debt, as it only encourages them, and makes OC's believe that they can pass the responsibility to a third party.

 

The whole reason behind not paying a DCA who then passes your funds onto the OC, is that you want to tell the OC that it is pointless employing these powerless nobody's and that you will only pay them direct, each time they have passed me onto a DCA I have continued paying the OC direct, if they sell it on, I've stopped paying.
