    • 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. Just after some thoughts.

 

My dad went to a Barclays branch in 2008 to take out a business loan

 

The branch staff member stated that he could not take out a business loan to start up his business

 

As an alternative, the staff member suggested just taking out a personal loan in my mums name as my dads credit file was terrible - despite him knowing it was for business purposes.

 

They went ahead with this advice.

 

My mum and dad have since split up and she's left with this loan amongst other debts he's left her with.

 

Obviously with it being a loan it's in her name only and she is liable for it.

 

She's in financial difficulty and I am trying everything I can do to sort everything out.

 

My main concern here is that the staff were happy with a personal loan being taken out for business purposes and stated 'just pretend it's for house renovations'. This was in fact their idea too.

 

Might not be anything, might be something, but during such a difficult time I'm not leaving any stone unturned.

 

 

Further information .....

Was the debts not reviewed at the time of the split....either legally or amicably ?

 

How much is the loan for and what its age and term?

Andy

I don't think she has a leg to stand on legally because the loan is in her name only. The loan is down to around the £4,500 mark but I'm unsure on the agreed term.

 

It's not something that can be resolved between them because when brought into discussion it's avoided. Because of various problems he's not able to contact her as he has been warned by the police. This has left me in the middle to pick up the pieces (yay).

 

Thanks

Thanks ...just viewed your other thread in relation to the whole problem.

 

I would send a section 77 CCA request for starters and take a look at this dubious application to make sure all is in order.

 

Is this being paid direct or through PP ?

Thanks for viewing the other thread.

 

All debts are being paid through PP at this moment in time. I'm looking into writing up an SAR tonight. I'll take a look at a section 77 CCA in a moment.

 

Thanks

The one displaying 'LINK' is a DCA originally with BC.

 

The rest are displaying 'Barclays' so I can only assume they are still with BC/Barclays.

 

Thanks

If Mums BC business loan is with link ..then the Section 77 goes to link assuming its been legally assigned to them...if they cant comply with the request I would consider stopping payments if they fail to respond to your request...as they usually cant....thats one less off the list.:wink:

It's a personal loan because they would not give my dad a business loan and made this suggestion to take out a personal loan in mums name.

 

Barclays suggested lying and say that the loan is being used to renovate the house despite their knowledge that it would be used for a business and not for personal purposes. Do you think we should log a complaint about this or would this be a waste of time?

 

As far as I know personal loans cannot be used for businesses and considering they gave this advice they're out of line imo.

 

Do you think this could be considered misselling?

 

Thanks

I see. The personal loan is still with Barclays at the moment.

 

The LINK debt is for a Barclaycard but on that note I could proceed with a section 78 CCA for that one couldn't I?

 

In relation to the loan which is still with Barclays, should I not pursue a complaint in relation to the whole personal/business fiasco?

 

I've got quite a bit of work to do on this mess so I don't want to waste any efforts if I don't need to.

 

Thanks

The LINK debt is for a Barclaycard but on that note I could proceed with a section 78 CCA for that one couldn't I? If its a credit card yes...send to Link

 

In relation to the loan which is still with Barclays, should I not pursue a complaint in relation to the whole personal/business fiasco? No need to a section 77 request cuts all that out..they either comply or dont...if they cant ..no pay.

 

I've got quite a bit of work to do on this mess so I don't want to waste any efforts if I don't need to.Well it takes time to sort out so you will need patience and is worthwhile if you can ease the problems for Mum.

Thanks

Hi LH,

 

It'll help us if you only discuss one topic per thread.

 

Let us know which thread is about a BC a/c and we'll move it to the BC forum.

 

Also if you were charged penalties on the BC or a Barclays Loan a/c, you can look to reclaim the penalties PLUS compound interest at a nominal rate (19.9% or 24.9%) have both succeeded here, as well as 29.9%. But you will need to take court action to recover this, just like many have done in the past.

 

:-)
