    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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.

I just want to ask advice with regards to this case.

I have an ombudsman decision and told arrow to deduct the PPI payment made to them and also to pay me compensation for the stress they did to me.

They paid me the compensation and they said that they had deducted the amount October 2020 wherein they had deducted it on my balance.

Last March 2022 I paid my last payment to Drydensfairfox solicitor as they are now the one dealing with my account and not knowingly that I have overpaid already.

I emailed Drydensfairfox to request for a refund but they said that they are waiting for arrow if they can refund me my over payment as this is because of the adjustment and until now Arrow has not responded to Drydensfairfox.

I have informed my adjudicator wherein he also contacted Arrow but did not have any reply.

Would this be not part of the Ombudsman decision?

What else can I do to get my refund?

Is there any other way to get my refund because Arrow is just ignoring and according to Ombudsman

. The decision said that Arrow needed to reduce the balance of your outstanding debt by £242.82 and pay £55 compensation. 

because it was now overpayment this is not part of the decision, but my argument is I over paid because the adjustment was only done lately so my balance was adjust until I over paid Drydensfairfox

Can I do this in small claim and If I can what is the process? Thanks

Dear Solicitors

This letter serves as a formal demand for payment of my overpayment in the amount of £148.50. This amount is the overpayment after the adjustment of my account. If my account was adjusted as what Arrow had said that they did last September 2020 then it should have reflected in my balance but this did not happen and I had paid until the last payment as what my remaining balance and not knowing after my final payment that I have already overpaid.

I received a PPI payment from Canada Square, part of this was paid out to Moorgate to pay some of my debt. This debt had actually been sold to Arrow in 2015, so the payment should have been made to Arrow. This took place in 2017.

 

I communicated to Moorgate to transfer the amount of £242.82  to Arrow as they are now the one dealing with my account. Moorgate replied to me that they sent a request to Arrow to adjust my balance on November 2017 but this was ignored by Arrow. Even after communication with then they just denied that there was no payment received. It was only then Arrow started to action when I complained to Ombudsman about this case wherein, they said that they have adjusted my account last September.

 

I emailed your office to continue to chase my refund but according to you that you are still waiting for Arrow response because the overpayment was due to the adjustment.

 

I have also the Ombudsman decision which I will attach with this email. 

 

If I do not receive the total amount of £148.50  by  8th of July , I will promptly file a claim in  small claims court.

Sincerely,

Can I send this letter of claim by email. If I can I will CC Arrow.

Here is the Ombudsman decision. Arrow did not sent me statement showing the adjustment

Final decision

Complaint by: xxxxxxxxxxx

Referred to as: Mr L

Complaint about: Arrow Global Limited

Complaint reference: xxxxxxxxxxx

Date of decision: 30 March 2022

The complaint

Mr L complains that Arrow Global Limited didn’t apply a Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) refund to the outstanding balance of a debt.

What happened In November 2015 Arrow purchased a debt in Mr L’s name from another business (I). Mr L went on to make a successful PPI complaint and was awarded £242.82. I says it contacted Arrow to reduce the outstanding balance on several occasions going back to 2017. Despite requests by I, Mr L says Arrow has failed to reduce the outstanding balance.

Mr L referred his complaint about Arrow to us and it was passed to an investigator. They upheld Mr L’s complaint and recommended that Arrow reduce the outstanding balance by £242.82 and pay him £55 for the distress and inconvenience caused. Despite several follow up requests, the investigator didn’t hear back from Arrow. As a result, Mr L’s complaint has been passed to me.

What I’ve decided – and why I’ve considered all the available evidence and arguments to decide what’s fair and reasonable in the circumstances of this complaint.

Our investigator upheld Mr L’s complaint as they thought Arrow had failed to show it had applied the PPI refund to the outstanding balance. They thought it was more likely than not that the restructure of Mr L’s account required hadn’t taken place. It should be reasonably clear whether the PPI refund was applied but Arrow hasn’t sent evidence to show that.

It’s clear there has been a reasonable degree of back and forth between Arrow and I concerning this matter over the years. The contact notes indicate I first got in touch in 2017 to request a balance reduction. Arrow’s contact notes show it received contact from I in September 2020 but I haven’t seen any evidence to support its claim the debt was then reduced by £242.82.

As Arrow hasn’t responded to the investigator’s view and I haven’t seen evidence to verify its claim it acted on I’s instructions, I’m going to uphold Mr L’s complaint. I can see the issue has cause some distress and inconvenience to Mr L, so I’m also awarding £55 to reflect that.

 

My final decision -

My decision is that I uphold Mr L’s complaint and direct Arrow Global Limited to settle as follows

- If it hasn’t done so already, Arrow should reduce the outstanding balance of Mr L’s debt by £242.82 - Pay Mr L £55 for the distress and inconvenience caused

On settlement of the complaint, Arrow should provide Mr L with an up to date statement of his account showing the reduction in the outstanding balance. Under the rules of the Financial Ombudsman Service, I’m required to ask Mr L to accept or reject my decision before 27 April 2022
