    • we have known for a very very long time that 9/10 the OC never knows IRRWW are chasing debtors nor  in some cases even taking money from them that the OC never ever see!! IDRWW pockets it -  free money - lets all go on a staff holiday. there was an article some years back whereby that quoted some +£4M debtors had paid to IDRWW on UAE debts that when contacted the originating banks knew nothing about....😎  
    • let the ombudsman do their job. you'll win handsdown you dont obv owe OVO p'haps anything at all.  dont worry about Past Due credit or any other DCA ( THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!) as for you being added to the debt, thats quite OK, you were a resident adult and equally liable under law. once you start getting things moving via the  ombudsman dont forget to get your credit files cleansed of any negative data & seek compensation for distress etc, again the  ombudsman should sort both out for you. as you are now NOT a customer of OVO, there is very very little they can do to you now.  
    • A question - did you use the supermarket or the restaurant? I see the restrictions are different. Sign.pdf
    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx
    • Npower and Scottish Power and others have always had regulations that require them to treat customers fairly - the threads here and my experiences demonstrate that those regs are little more than useless.   Even Octopus recently spent month after month saying they needed to increase my monthly payments despite my credit balance slowly going up TWICE I had to reset it online back to prior payment as they unilaterally increased it unilaterally. Raised formal complaint and they than said i was paying too much and reduced the payment, again without my agreement, although that time at least they told me they were doing it.   .. and Octopus has been one of the better ones.

    • 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 I.m new here and need help .

 

 

Over the yrs me and the wife have had provident loans

we have defaulted 3 times on them for thousands over the yrs.

They still lent to us mind.

Over last few yrs we have never missed a payment but got our self in debt with them.

 

To the point we paying £200 a wk in repayments over long term.

We kept renewing loans for more to keep money in our pockets it would last us a fee wks until next renewal to the point that we are at the limit.

 

We did pay it off once to lower payments and renewed straight away then to get more money back but this is how we got to the limit .

We paid off with our Christmas no ey borrowed 2 wks later to get our money back but borrowed even more .

 

My wife as aspergers and she hates not paying it especially as we know the agent as live locally.

We on benefits which as been stopped at moment due to change over from was to income support not had money for nearly 3wks andooking at another fee wks before it's sorted.

 

We missed last wks payment they been fine with it and going to try and help but can't afford to pay it back at all.

My son and daughter been helping is out for so long even my son's boss giving is money to lend .

 

CAB just told us to contact them to make arrangement to lower payment but we been told it looks like we been irresponsible lending and between defaults and constantly renewing for more shows we couldn't really afford them they never looked at our money coming in and cause we needed the money for Christmas we lied what we had coming in I know it's wrong but was desperate.

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..

Update I emailed the directors yesterday evening

I sent it to every one listed as the ceo

 

 

got returned out of all the names on the ceo webpage.

Only 1 allowed it .

 

 

I then had a look on the other provident pages and found another director and it was sent there aswell.

Got a reply today to say they are looking into our complaints.

 

I have all our books going back yrs and boy I am shocked myself what we.ve had and how they allowed it

at the time u don't see it but every few months, some every wk.

 

Will keep u posted how it goes

little dicky bird tells me that the FCA are FERY interested in Provident at present

they've had 100's of complaints from people getting letters from lowells on debts going back to the early 2000's some beyond

that lowells are now chasing and many they are trying to litigate on too.

Are they really

I keep getting chased by them aswell

but thry statuary bard as they are over 6yrs old

I believe around 8/9 yrs

I just ignore them cause I know they can't do nothing

 

 

I also believe provident won't take to court cause of the interest rates.

 

 

From what I can see I have paid what I have borrowed prob 3 times over in the last 6yrs .

 

Only thing I.m unsure of is that I know we been lent irresponsible b

ut in terms of figures how do I break down what I want.

 

 

I have memory problems so what I read don't always make sense of

I can't absorb the info to make sense without someone telling me what it is I need to do so if anyone can help i.d be greatfull .

 

 

Just need to explain what it is I need to calculate so I can get someone to do this for me

 

 

cause without knowing I can't explain to the other person.

If that makes sense sorry for so many questions.

didn't say provi take you to court

ofcourse they don't

I was relating to lowells

they will and do

 

 

they send out 1 or 2 letters to an old address

then if they get no response

they issue a speculative claimform.

 

 

matters not if its Statute Barred.

if the claim is not contested

no human looks at it

rubberstamped default judgement.

 

 

1st people know is a judgement for claimant magically arrives at their correct address

that's why its SO important to update debt owners of a change of address

 

 

750'000 claimforms are issued every year

more than 85% are never contested

Irresponsible lending - probably.

Irresponsible borrowing -certainly IMO

Wanted loans for Xmas etc - sounds like a tenant?

 

 

What would you have said/done if Provident had rightly turned you down for a later loan?

With paying them so much every wk we had no money left for savings and what's wrong with being a tenant anyway we can't all own our own houses.

Plus isn't taking numerous payday loans out no different

 

 

so you saying people who keep talking pay day loans with numerous companies it's their fault for taking the loans out .

Even though your taking one out to allow u to live for the next few wks.

 

 

No need to judge us ,we already told provident we hold some responsibility in the emails.

But perhaps you should be on this forum if you can judge anyone so quickly
