    • Today , after a lotof years i recieved a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we havent had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. uP TO 2000 I hadsucessfully gotten deferment on low income. But rarther thansign on as unemployed,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondance ceased from them, circa 2001. To date  I have had no correspondance from Student Loans. I was made  redundant in 2009 and  reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now ,today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4
    • As long as we are clear . Do the reading and post your letter of claim in draft form as requested and we can go from there.    
    • Hold on @BankFodder, that was a bit harsh. I spoke with the EVRi complaints Facebook group to begin with, a user on that group told me to send a letter but didn't give any specifics. Here at CAG, I was looking more for specific help as I've never raised such a claim before, and wanted to be sure that my claim was correct, which is why I've researched information with the other groups too, to be sure; but you seem to have assumed that I've made some form of contact with the other groups, such that I find your comments and tone to be very unfair. And I do know a thing or two about forums, that forum users are unpaid volunteers, I happen to be a Tableau Ambassador, and so perform a very similar role helping others in an unpaid capacity

    • 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.

DO not send them anything. It is their responsibility to prove you are who they think you are. The debt collector - who is it by the way - are in default of their obligations under the CCA for having failed to provide you with documentation. Indeed after this amount of time it means they have committed a criminal offence with a fine not exceeding £2500 awaiting them before magistrates not that it will get to that stage.

 

If they are playing silly beggars just ignore them but report the **** instead to the Info Commissioner for mishandling your data. They are clearly unsure of your identity but that hasn't stopped them issuing a default. Check that the default hasn't been issued twice, first by the original creditor and then "renewed" by the debt collector. That's illegal and actionable for defamation.

 

Copy the IC correspondence to the OFT and ask if the debt collector is worthy of its Consumer Credit licence. Insist on a reply.

 

You can have a lot of fun now because the boot is on the other foot.

 

Go on tell us which debt collector is making a hash of the rules again!

It is important that you dont mix up the DPA and the CCA. I believe that with a section 7 DPA request that they are allowed to verify your identity(not an expert on DPA matters so please correct me if Im wrong).

 

In terms of a CCA request I dont have a clue why they would ask for your passport

As your request was under the CCA then it is for them to prove that you owe the money - certainly they have no right to demand proof of who you are...they should know!!

 

The CCA has nothing to do with the Information Commissioner. Any complaint should be addressed through trading Standards.

In addition to what's been already been said in answer to your post, I'd be very suspicious of anyone asking for a copy of my signature to verify who I am.

 

What's to stop them forging your signature on a blank document? Or am I just a naturally suspicious person?

Me too. And, as has already been pointed out, they should already have verified your identity themselves before sending out any letters. Write back and point this out to them.

 

Don't sign your letter, though!! :)

 

.....or, alternatively, change your signature so that you can tell straight away if someone has copied the 'new' version.

Fly buggers...

 

All these thoughts had been running through my head. Was more of the opinion to sit back, with feet up and see how this progres.

 

Would be interesting, to see will they try and inforce it now.

Is it likely that Barclaycard havejust written ti them, stating they cannot find the agreement, and this is whats brought this on....?

With all my correspondence to the DCA's I have used a different signature, its not too unlike my real one but there are little differences that i will be able to spot.

Never ever send or give your IDs to any of those scumbags. they are thieves and will 100% defraud in order to receive payment. Never give out your A/c or Credit card number because they would steal your money without your authorisation I have seen it many many times. the way it works is like this

they enter payment and sometimes fake CV2 and the system would allow it to go through but because the advisor would process 1000s if 10 or more are fake his boss will most probably tell him to be careful and you would be left to fight for a charge back. I knew a guy who managed to do it this way and he got 100.000 pounds collection in order to get a bonus etc.....

the other thing is that they would simply click on Direct debit and iot would be authorized. if you complain they would say that you called them and authorised it .if you ask to listen to conversation they would say it is only recorded randomly for training purposes

I do actually have a 'second signature' that I have used once or thrice on those occasions when I don't wholly trust the recipient.

Oh my goodness Jimbo44 - you are clever :-)

 

However, I have learnt my first valuable lesson of the day. Granted i'm going to have a couple of sleepless nights with worry but live and learn and I guess I won't be so trusting (OK ... DAFT) again :rolleyes:.

Thank you :-)

bottom line here is they have sent you a reasonable request and I would not expect any judge to uphold the CCA request until you send it.

 

Your choice but if you do not send ID do not expect to have the protection of the CCA.

Zooman's comment is completely unfounded.

 

Nathal has made a CCA request for douments held by a debt collector. It is their responsibility to comply without conditions. The CCA makes no mention of the requestee providing identification details with the request. The requirement for identification smacks of desperation on the part of the debt collector who is now playing for time.

 

Nathal, don't give in, stick to the timetable set by law. If they default report the ****!

I agree.

 

I should not have to show id. It was actually a copy of my signature they are requesting.

 

I am aware that you do have to sometimes show id for a dsar, which is acceptable.

Ashley is right.

 

He is asking for data held,albeit not a request under the data protection act but nevertheless still subject matter.

 

section 7.(3) a of the data protection act states that they are not obliged to release data if they cannot reasonably be sure of the identity of the person requesting the information.

 

Maybe there is nothing under the 74 CCA act,

But they could certailnly argue the toss under this one.

So what your saying is that they can put a default on your file without being 100% positive its you but cant release the credit agreement unless you prove its not you

why argue with the law and just send the bloody ID, and achieve goals, you guys may want not to send it on princeable but princeable means jack all in the law, I am a DATA CONTROLLER at work and I can tell you now there Data Statement will have this in it and they are acting well within the law asking you to prove who you are before they send anything.
