    • dispute it with whichever cra provider is now showing it. simply state the a/c is from 2015 and was defaulted (date) and should not have re appeared. probably getting ready to sell it on. dx
    • Hi Caught Shoplifting at John Lewis - Retail loss Prevention/Other shoplifting allegations. - Consumer Action Group Thanks a lot for commenting this experience of yours. I do understand this might be something that you are not willing to talk about anymore but the same exact scenario happened with me today at John Lewis. They took my name/ address/ a picture of me holding a signed banned letter. the only questions I've got are... will I be contacted by the police will this be recorded as police caution or criminal record?  I would really really appreciate if you could let me know how it went.  I am so so so ashamed of myself and am really making changes in my life I feel like I've lost myself for a period of my life but anyways it would be really great to hear back. 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.

Long story short

 

 

i had an old Halifax CC opened in 2006.

 

 

The CC is in my name, but the debt was not run up by me,

but.....by my old man who then refused to pay it, but i think thats by the by. And no, he's won't cough up to pay it.

 

I received 2 letters before xmas,

one from Halifax saying the debt had been sold to Lowells in 2014!

And the other from Lowell saying they'd bought the debt back in 2014.

 

Now, its not SB as the last payment, of a pound! was made in 2011.

 

Second letter was a nicely nicely letter than i got yesterday telling me i won't have to pay what i can't afford.

We struggle to pay our own bills, let alone anything extra.

 

For now, i think my best bet is to ignore the letters? Or do i start the "3 letter process"?

 

Many thanks :)

there is no such thing as the three letter process

that [i hope its not] smack of freeman of the land rubbish

please don't follow that route

it'll get you in even more bother.

 

 

you could send them a CCA request

but pers i'd let it run.

 

 

is the card registered to your current address ??

in otherwords, if they do issue a claimform

you'd know about it?

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...

Its passed the anniversary of the default do its no longer on my credit file.

I printed off my entire credit file before the defaults started to drop off last year.

But no, the address isn't registered a my new address.

But both Lowell and Halifax know where i am as they both started writing to me 2/3 weeks ago.

the owner might well be writing to your new address

but that doesn't stop them issuing a claim at the old one if they don't officially know where you are now,

last registered address with the oc.

Is your address up to date on your credit file, and does your last address show?

 

This is for a petty CC debt which will be full of reclaimable charges, so if Lowlifes rock the boat too much, then you can reclaim them and they won't get their grubby paws on as much dirty money as they had hoped.

 

As it's a 06 agreement then they better hope they have the original at hand to enforce, but that's all par for the course, exactly when in 2011 did you make the last token payment? Beginning? Middle or end?

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!

The address on my actual credit file is out of date from when i opened the Noddle account. The address that showed on the Halifax debt is about 4 addresses ago. But Halifax themselves wrote to me stating they'd sold the debt to Lowells. Last Payment was made in May.

If it's out of date then you need to update it, and all of the other addresses also, otherwise you'll leave yourself wide open for getting a CCJ by default.
