    • have a good read in the debt selfhelp forum. its easy to do a self managed one..only on the debts you find ARE enforceable mind..

    • Hi there Manager for our soccer sixes team moved overseas mid season and we struggled for numbers so we told the ref about 5 weeks prior to seasons end that we would see out these games then be done and he told us he’d ’pass the message on to the relevant people’. Heard nothing, then 3 days prior to the new season beginning we were given our fixture for that weekend. Told the guy over text we had pulled out and the ref should’ve passed a message on but we were told sufficient notice wasn’t given and it needed to be in writing. I argued it’s not our fault the ref didn’t do as he said but we were countered by the T&Cs.    now being chased for what was £608 kindly reduced to £476 to pay off remainder of the season. Been sent a letter in the post from their accountancy team and told needs to be paid by Friday.   seen a lot of the other threads saying we can literally just ignore everything but im concerned about debt collections and credit score being harmed. Can anyone confirm if this all works/what we should do?   thanks
    • Hi,   I have given an official police witness statement for the prosecution in an upcoming criminal court case, and I am very anxious about what might happen.  Specifically regarding being cross-examined.  My statement is very short, and only a couple of paragraphs long, regarding a conversation I had with one of the victims.  I have tried to research online about what information about me the defence barrister might be able to find and use to discredit me.  I have by no means have a shady past but, I am concerned about what private information might be brought up, and as this is a case that will be in the national press as it is in the public interest.  The two preliminary hearings were reported in the papers.   I have tried to research  online what information the opposition can seek, but it is all very complicated.  I believe that they can legally access public records, but I'm not sure what information public records hold.  Can they access my medical records, educational history, HMRC, and Department for Work and Pensions? (I am a self employed sole trader).  I was arrested once, and this was unfortunately instigated by the victim in this case, so could well be of interest to them.  It resulted in no further action, however I have only discovered this week that that, in fact, this means I have a criminal record, and will be so until I am 100 (no chance)! This has really annoyed me to say the least, especially since I asked him afterwards why he rang the police and he said 'for a laugh'.  So I have started to look into applying for it to be deleted, but again, if anyone has any advice on this I would be appreciative. At the moment, my name isn't on the confirmed list to give evidence, but the detective I have been dealing with has said it is 'likely'. The names of the victims in this case will not be allowed to be reported, are witnesses fair game for the press? I really need no know how deep they can delve in to my life so I am prepared if my character gets assassinated in front of the nation. I really wish I'd never agreed to this.   Many thanks
    • A belated thanks dx. Yes I may take your advice regarding StepChange. I am finding that I am telling them (on behalf of my Son) the true balances outstanding? They never seem to check properly in which worries me. If I was to take on myself is there another way of dealing with various debts? I have already submitted other IRL complaints on his behalf. Today I have received a further response from Quidie T/A Fernovo confirming that they will waiver all interest paid.

    • 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.

Have a read of the thread linked above.

 

If the companies were aware that you had other PDLs and that you were obviously rolling over the loans to make payments, then yes, you might have a claim for irresponsible lending.

 

You should check your credit files with the 3 main reference agencies to see if the companies did even the basis of credit checks before lending.

 

Have a read of other threads in this forum to see how they are approaching the companies and the Financial Ombudsman if you need to escalate your claims.

The reason you are looking at your files is to see what has been recorded in the first instance, and what searches were undertaken to assess your credit worthiness.

 

If you had a rubbish credit history, then lending you more money is irresponsible, yes ?

 

If they didn't do any searches, then this compounds their irresponsibility, yes ?

Right, Im here after an SOS Request :p

 

Most PDLs use Callcredit which in turn has a free offshoot called Noddle, because its supposed to offer Real Time Account Info for Short Term Lending. However this was only setup and subscribed to a few years ago.

Also you have Clearscore which would be a good option to check to which is Equifax.

 

If they did searches and still lent to you even though you have paid off numerous loans in such a short period of time, I would suggest this is Irresponsible lending.

CitB has created a contact thread with info on all the top dogs on the PDL Tree and this is in my Signature. Looking at what it shows, I think that this maybe a large case of irresponsible lending especially after so many loans before and AFTER the cap on PDLs themselves.

 

How many loans do you have running at the moment and how many defaults are present across the board?

  • Haha 1

At this moment, I see a massive weight on your side that if you play this right, could be to your advantage.

 

So, all these loans were used for gambling? If so then, right there that is irresponsible lending but your challenge would be to prove that this was the case.

Bank statement would be perfect, funds going in, funds going out.

 

This will be a long process but we will help every step of the way.

Yes they was all for online gambling which I am not proud off.. The defaults are on my barclays loan from last year which I still owe 4,200 and have one on wonga one on sunny,

 

Basicly long story, still living with parents(mum) she's noticed and managed to close all my gambling accounts down, now leaves me with a list of payments to sort out.. So any help is taken seriously.. Yes my statements would show money coming in then straight out to online companies

 

basicly alsways managed to get the payment back to the pdl either via wages overdraft or another pdl to pay the other off, was a time or two where I had to freeze them cause couldn't afford and pay in instalments

 

I'm still unable to post pictures as of yet too

 

Here's what most statements look like over the months ;(

Okay thats fine. What do you want to post up.

 

So our first step is to find out how many loans you've had, So maybe its emailling every company and asking for a full summary for free.

 

Or alternatively send a SAR Request for £10 each to every PDL Company and also to Barclays.

I would make a suggestion. Download ALL of your back statements for the last couple of years for free from Online Banking and then store them somewhere safe.

 

You need to see payments in, payments out to Gambling Companies and highlight these and link them to your loans.

 

From your attachment I can see Massive amounts of money being paid and received. B365? Bet365?

I just wanted to say well done for facing up to this and well done to your mum for setting you on the right track. I really hope the gambling is behind you now. It's far too easy to do online and annoys me whenever I see ads for it. Well done you though. :)
