    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be 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.

Hi,

 

Having an issue with these people not rush fitness anymore because apparently they have nothing to do with it now.

 

So my story is, i signed up to rush gym in October 2016 and as i am told this is a 12 month contract which i didn't really understand at first because when i signed up online i saw something about no contracts but anyway.

 

In January 2017 i wanted to cancel my gym membership as i could no longer afford the fee's as i was unemployed and the direct debit was coming from my mums account who is also unemployed and is claiming benefits as she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she stopped working.

 

I then called my gym (rush fitness) and was answered by a women whos name i do not know now because its been a while anyway i explained the situation to her and she said yeah thats fine i will get that cancelled for you and you can cancelled your direct debit too.

 

Got silence and peace of mind for a while now, until around the 20th feb when i recieved a letter from harlands saying they were unable to collect my installment and they added a £25 pound admin charge...(17.99+25.00=42.99 arreas) i called harlands and told them that i had cancelled my membership in jan and was told to cancel my DD. They replied with not their issue and i should contact the gym and i should re-instate the DD and pay the admin charge which i just cut the phone on him as he was very blunt!

 

I called my gym and spoke to another rep and this time it was a male, i explained the situation to him and he then went on to saying that i couldnt cancel over the phone and he doesnt know who i spoke to and i couldnt remember her name either. He told me the only way to cancel was online so i should re-instate my DD for the time being but i dont have the money so he said i should contact harlands about that.

 

i went online and again went through a cancellation process and recieved an email saying that i ahve to provide proof in which i did reply that i was not currently working and my mums medical issues and how we couldnt afford it.

 

On the 18th of march now i recieved a phonecall which i missed on my phone but still have the voicemail of from connor from rush gym who contacted my to say that i hope everything has gone well and my membership is cancelled and if i wanted to leave feedback.(i heard this voicemail late).

 

On the 23rd of march 2017 i then received another letter from harlands saying that they refer to me from their previous letter and my arreas have doubled to £85.98.... now im getting annoyed as hell! in the same letter it says and i quote word for word 'if you do not contact us by the 6th of april 2017 your balance of £193.92 will be passed on to a debt recovery company who will add their fees to your account.

 

So somehow the charges jumped from £85.98 to £193.92 if i didnt contact them. i tried calling a few times but no answer so again i got advice from other people and they said to just ignore them they cant do anything to you and all these charges are not enforceable by law!

 

Then the letter from CRS came on 25th april 2017 saying that they have been employed by rush fitness as my membership remains in arreas despite previous letter being sent to me and now they have are charging me £263.73.

 

Where do i stand now?

 

Any help is much appreciated and slick132 if your reading this i see you are the genie in these situations!

 

can post pics of letter in a PDF format if needed!

Hi Adam and welcome to CAG

 

I've added better para spacing to your post so it's far easier to read.

 

Stay OFF the phone from now on. Speaking to the gym and Harlands/CRS will do you no good at all.

 

1. Have you made the gym aware that you cancelled because of you being made unemployed.

 

2. Has this been confirmed in writing at all.

 

I suspect you owe the gym one final month's fee as you have to give a months notice if cancelling due to unemployment. But you do NOT owe all the fees that Harlands/CRS want. We always challenge their admin fees.

 

I understand the issue with your mum and her unfortunate circumstances but this is not relevant to YOUR gym m/ship.

 

Read other threads here and you'll see that folk tend to ignore Harlands/CRS after initial contact and explanations.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

Thank you for reply it was very swift, i'll draft up a letter in regard to only paying one months membership which i will post on this thread, would this be directed to rush fitness, harlands or CRS?

 

Appreciate your help i really do.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Membership at Rush Fitness, Uxbridge.

In the month of January 2017 I had contacted the gym in regards to cancelling my membership(due to unemployment), but the actions were not executed by the representative even though I was assured they would be and was given the instruction to cancel my direct debit.

However the actions were not carried out and my direct debit had been cancelled, upon phoning a second time and speaking to a representative of the gym I was told to cancel online. The cancellation was later done online and on the 20th February 2017 I received a letter from Harlands claiming the membership fee and administration fee of £25 which is outrageous.

As far as I was concerned my membership should have been cancelled in the month of January along with a notice period of 30 days and payment of one month’s membership.

I then received a further letter in March which doubles the arrears in the last letter thus bringing the total to £85.98 which is unacceptable as to my knowledge the membership is cancelled and the gym has acknowledged this and I have proof via a voicemail from rush fitness themselves confirming it. In the same letter I am told that if you do not contact us by the 6th of April 2017 your balance of £193.92 will be passed on to a debt recovery company who will add their fees to your account. So somehow the fees had jumped with ridiculous unexplained charges.

In April i then received a letter from a subsidiary of Harlands called CRS claiming the amount of £263.73 which is ridiculous.

I will not pay any Admin fees charged by HARLANDS or CRS but i am willing to pay £17.99 from the first original month of cancellation. My offer will expire in 14 days and i will not be paying anything after this deadline.

I will deal with this in writing to you only so please do not call or text me.

I only ask you to provide me with bank details in which I will send funds only amounting to £17.99.

Yours Faithfully,

Adam177

 

if someone could proof read this it would be much appreciated!

Hi Adam,

 

That will do and send it to the gym. Get a free Cert of Posting at the PO when you send it.

 

Ignore demands from Harlands/CRS in the meantime and keep us posted.

Please remove all identifiers you have left on that post, Harlands/CRS watch these sites and now know your next move.

 

IGNORE Halands/CRS, they are a powerless DCA.

 

Complain in writing to the gym, and the CMA about their abuse of customers details, and harassment from their employed third party monkeys.

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!

Hi Adam,

 

Identifiers removed from your last 2 posts. Please don't use your real name in any posts here.

 

I assume you've had no reply from the gym to your letter you sent them.

 

If that's the case, simply ignore the latest from Harlands/CRS but keep us posted.
