    • I've just taken another look through the stuff they sent me in response to the CPR request, the notice of assignment isn't the original , it's on a plain sheet of non letterhead paper, in fact it could have easily been typed up by Overdales, or anybody really.  On the other side of the paper are standard Lowell terms and conditions that are only half on the page. Should this be part of my defence?
    • I agree with my site team colleague above. We need to know all the facts including which company you are dealing with and an explanation of the problem. It really is too difficult to start giving speculative advice on some speculative problem that you have laid out as a generalised scenario
    • Moorcroft are sending a rep round to my house this week. What is the best way to handle this? Ignore and not answer the door or engage with them? I haven't acknowledged anything since I started on this journey and defaulted on my cards in December 2022
    • Very sorry but with the best will in the world, I don't think we can at all understand what the situation is here. Please can you try rewriting this on a word processor and maybe send a copy of what you have written to a friend and working out together so that the story is complete but as brief as possible. Maybe a list of dates as well. If you can do that and then repost your story we can have a look
    • Hi, I am a local authority tenant and was in a 3 bed house. At the end of last year, my last child moved out and so did my spouse as we are now going through a divorce which meant that I was in the house alone and decided that I needed to downsize not only for myself but to offer the property to a family that needed it. I registered on the local authority housing bidding site as i was asked to do and I was accepted and given a priority banding as I was downsizing and they were desperate for my house. I have been extremely lucky and after about 6 weeks was accepted for a new build from a housing association via the housing gateway. I viewed the property 2 weeks ago and had to sign the tenancy last week when they were doing bulk signups for the houses and that is the day I moved. In between viewing and sign up, I contacted my current local authority landlord and asked how I give notice as I had been accepted for a property I had bid on and was moving.  The lady told me how to do it online and then said that I needed to give a full weeks notice which wasnt a problem as I had enough time.  (I was also told a weeks notice was what i would need to give by another staff member about a month ago when I phoned up for another housing related question.  I dont have any of this in writing.) I have now moved, handed back the keys and I am now being told that I need to give 4 weeks notice which I cannot afford. I hav e spoken to the council again explaining that I was told a week and that to be honest, if I knew they were going to charge me 4 weeks I would not have been able to move and would have stayed in the other house.  I thought I was doing the right thing. They said that calls are recorded and they asked me when I called in and was told a week and they would listen to the telephone conversation and if it was correct what I was told, they would see what they could do to reduce the notice period. They have now emailed me back and said that they have listened to the conversation and the lady said 4 weeks notice and I am liable for 4 weeks rent.  Now I may well of misheard her when I thought she said a full weeks notice she may have said 4 weeks notice but I am sure she said a full weeks notice and i was told a week by another member of staff a few weeks ago. I have emailed her back and said that I may of misheard but I would like to listen to the phone recording myself.  As yet they havent responded. I think its unreasonable for them to make me give 4 weeks when I had to sign the new tenancy with little notice or loose the property.  And it was all done through their gateway, and they will have a tenant in there pretty much straight away getting rent from them. I am on a very low income, I am on my own, I have serious medical issues and I am really getting myself stressed out over this. Any advice would be so appreciated.  Can I insist they let me listed to the recording? RH

    • 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 had a debt with Barclaycard in 2004/05 for £476 and then facing financial trouble, I have an IVA in 2007/08 which failed because of emigrating to Australia for 4 years. Since 2006/07, I had no contacts with any financial companies and didn't pay any money to anyone, other than GE. I have come back to UK and since then paid off GE. But, I have no communications from any financial companies.

 

I checked my credit history and there was nothing showing from any financial debts from 2006/07.

 

I did get in touch with Barclays but that was for a PPI claim which they paid up.

 

I am now suddenly being chased for that debt with Barclaycard from 2006/07 by a company called Cabot Financial. In the letter they sent me, it says they'll send a company called ResolveCall to visit me and discuss the debt, if I don't call them within the next seven days.

 

My question is I am sure the debt is statute barred. I have never made any payments to Barclays since 2007.

 

What are the next steps - bear in mind, I haven't contacted them and I have never admitted to the debt to them.

 

Thanks for your help

Give barclaycard a ring and ask for the last date of payment.

 

Cabot have bought a ton of bad debts and will try anything to cash them in. They do not enforce legit debts. They only go after unenforceable ones, as they know the vast majority of debtors are totally uneducated and ignorant of their rights and debt collection procedures.

 

If its statute barred, barclaycard will tell you.

 

Remember, cabot wont tell you, nor will they care or even have ANY paperwork whatsoever on the debt apart from your name address and amount allegedly in debt.

 

relax, and give them a quick ring tomorrow morning :) If it is Statute barred, send them out statute barred letter and then ignore everything they send unless theyre dumb enough to try and issue a court claim ( yes, they really are that dumb sometimes).

 

regarding resolvecall, totally ignore the muppets. They have absolutely no authority over anything, and if they come to your house, tell them in whatever way you like to leave you alone, or youll call 101 and say some random person is at your door demanding money and harassing you.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thanks.

 

I can call Barclays, but hope this doesn't constitute any sort of admission to the debt. Therefore, if they say is it the account where you had owed some money, I'll have to say no or I don't admit to anything being owed?

 

I'd rather not liaise with Cabot at all. If I send them a statute barred letter, what if they ignore it and chase the debt. Can I ask them for the original contract?

Nope. They dont own the debt any more so no need to worry about admission. You just give them the account number and ask for the date of last payment to the account.

 

If they chase you for a debt thats SB, come back here and we will give you a letter to make them go away for good. Dont worry about contracts etc etc. They have nothing to do with it.

 

Again, just give barclay card a ring tomorrow and come back to us :)

if you've not paid since 2007 its statute barred

 

send the SB letter from our debt collection section of our library.

 

as I will guess that its a phishing letter as you've never told them in writing where you live now...?

so protect against a backdoor CCJ..end of the matter

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

Well, I haven't moved in 20 years - except for 4 years in Australia. So they just had to send the letter to the address pre-Australia.

 

But I do feel like they are trying to bait me and see if they get lucky :razz:

The SB, in this link?

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=65092&d=1476888386

 

 

I read here that if a debt is statute barred, I don't have to do anything at all? So can I just ignore this whole saga?

 

I called Barclays but they have no way of verifying the details and asked me to give them details of the debt company to which I said I'll get back to them. I didn't want to give them those details until I understood the ramifications fully.

 

If the link I have included here is the template, I am happy to print it off, amend it and then send it off tomorrow. Thanks for all the help.

no need to print off the PDF just use the text from the post.

it doesn't hurt to send it and nails your colours firmly to your flagpole as once told they must stop ALL comms.

else off to the relevant authorities as they are have broken the FCA CONC code it states.
