    • I'm really trying, but worst case I can't find what are my options?
    • John Lewis' Privacy Notice states that their CCTV Systems does not use facial recognition or collect biometric data - so I assume it should be fine?    Thank you a lot for your reply. I've scheduled my first therapy session ne t week. Really the time to turn my life around..
    • absolute rubbish, whomever told you that lied to make them sound important. no stores are using face recognition, they are not allowed too it's not been generally licenced by the gov't. it's only in a very few stores in central london. and they most certainly would never waste staff time searching old CCTV they dont even have. it should be wiped by GDPR laws etc after 30days. if you get any silly letters BIN THEM. go see your GP ASAP 
    • Thank you both so much for the reply. I am worried because they told me they have face detection systems in place, that they go back through the CCTV from their other stores and find out I've shoplifted from them before. How likely is this? Also they did not mention anything about DWF solicitors or retail loss prevention. Should I still expect a letter from them? 
    • OK, I've found some time, new version here. Bit in blue that seems to me to be superfluous - but you decide. Crossed out bit where the law has changed. Added bits in red. Only one bit rewritten for clarity in magenta. Here are the two exhibits I mention. That's enough playing with colours by me 🤣   Defendant's WS - version 3.pdf 17_extracted_IPC Code of PracticeV9 V4.pdf Transcript - Excel v Wilkinson.pdf

    • 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.

It depends what it is in their Privacy Notice. They will pass details onto Anti Fraud agencies... But there is a secret market you might not know about...

All the big CRAs have products available to lenders which stores application data and then that information is available to other companies accordingly.

 

I had this once with Experian... I applied for a Tesco Loan at the time and my info was given to Experian in one of their products.

A DCA then used this information that had been stored at Experian to start spamming me with RoboCalls.

The DCA admitted & fessed up to it. Experian complaint yielded no results and referred me to Tesco who then said its in our Privacy Policy that we share information with 3rd parties.

 

But whats gone on... Whats made you ask this?

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..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

ok

ive merged this with your existing cabot thread

better in one place then we don't have to ask q's already here again.

 

once you have the sar return.

things will be clearer

 

just because you might have money

makes no offs to a DCA

they couldn't careless

 

the automictic threat-o-pc will still spew out its garbage.

 

please never forget the golden rule...

 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

and have

ZERO legal powers.

 

if you really did owe that money

why didn't satans bank take yo to court?

why sell it on for 10p=£1? to a debt buyer....

 

think about it...…….

Thanks for your responses and apologies for posting in the wrong place. Santander have acknowledged my SAR request so I'm curious as to what that will show up. I see the point Santander would have tried to enforce the debt themselves if they thought worth pursuing:wink:

I'm starting to relax a little now:humble:

Cabot have written to me stating the credit card debt is unenforceable also as the original lender does not have the relevant information:oops: They also state they cannot comply with my CCA request at this time.

I notice they have entered details of these debts on my credit file even though the debts are disputed I guess nothing can be done about that. I will be sitting tight and awaiting the SAR from Santander (if anything arrives).

Seems my Christmas will not be ruined after all:whoo:

Update on this: SAR from Santander has arrived most of which I don't understand however it does confirm Cabot bought the debts. There is a copy of an online bank account application with no signature and an illegible copy of a credit card agreement dated 2008 with a very poor signature that does not match the signature on my passport.

Both accounts show significant charges. Is the credit card agreement enforceable as there is confirmation it has been forwarded to Cabot.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all:-D

Had another letter from my friends at Cabot.

 

When I originally wrote to them I stated that I had no assets and various health problems.

 

I informed them that as Cabot were unknown to me they were causing me a lot of stress.

 

This has triggered an "investigation" and today I received a letter enclosing various print outs of CC statements and a copy of the previously uploaded illegible CCA agreement for the credit card (nothing related to the current account).

 

The enclosed letter informed me of the outcome of the "investigation" and requested I supply confidential medical reports from my GP to confirm my medical issues and that I fill out an income outgoings report. The letter also states that both accounts are unenforceable!

 

I intend to place these papers in my file marked Cabot and ignore them but as always advice is appreciated. Interestingly the CC statements all show PPI payments:roll:

Happy New Year to all:-D

Update, new tactic from Cabot??

After a quiet period I suddenly get a call to my mobile asking for me by my first name to which i answered yes, (my name) speaking.

 

Caller then says this is Cabot Financial, my reply, never heard of you sorry. I ended the call and blocked the number ( a mobile).

 

Ten minutes later I get a text message stating: Hi, its Cabot click this secure message link if you want to hear something beneficial to you ( or words to that effect).

 

I deleted the message and blocked the sender but I am curious as to what this ploy is.

 

I am guessing by clicking the secure message link I will be acknowledging the debt and thereby resetting the statute barred clock.

 

Have any other Forum members experienced the secure message approach?

Thanks in advance.
