    • Post #9 suggested some options to avoid or put off having a smart meter. Post #12 a simple solution to your complaint about the ay they handle fixed monthly DD. It's not really clear why you posted if you're going get irate when members "jump in" with suggestions. You can see what I'm referring to on "gasracker.uk" to allay your suspicion that I was lying in Post #16 which was made to correct ther misinformation shown in your Post #15
    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. They also say they do not/will not disable any smart functionality when they fit a smart meter I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.
    • You mean your witness statement 
    • That may be your personal claimed experience I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least   politeness ends with: - I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see, You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

    • 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.

For a while now I've been paying small amounts "owed" to Capquest, directly to Restons who were dealing with it. I was paying via direct debit

Last week my bank informed me via e-mail that a new direct debit had been set up to a company called "AllPay ltd RE DFS Ltd". As I didn't recognised it I phoned my bank and cancelled it. 

 

Yesterday I received a letter from Drydens Fairfax saying that they had bought the debt from Capquest and that any correspondence now had to be made to them, and also that I didn't have to do anything as the direct debits would now go to their bank account via Allpay Ltd! So that explained the direct debit that appeared on my bank account without my consent. 

I also received a letter from Capquest yesterday infoming me of the same, and that they had "Passed my account details and payment history" to Drydens Fairfax. 

 

I am outraged that a company would pass on my BANK DETAILS to a third party without my consent. 

 

Not only did I not agree to this but surely this is against data protection laws?

 

I intend to fight this as I did not ask for this company to buy my debt, and I bet they don't have a CCA. 

 

My question is, what template letter should I start with?

I fully agree and thats why this infested industry needs renewed regulation ..they have carte blance ...not complying with the LoP Act or the CCA1974  nor the DPA.

 

Click the underlined CCA in your post.

Thank you. With regards to the original creditor passing my bank details and personal details onto a third party, what can I do?

It also has my old name on and on the bank details that they said they held for me, my old name, which of course is not the name on my bank account. 

Anyway I've cancelled that DD now so they're not getting anything from me. But I do want to take action against Capquest for passing on my bank details.

Capquest, or restons, passed my bank details onto another company without my consent. 

Min my opinion, that should not happen. 

This means they must have stored my bank account details, which is illegal.

no you've already given your consent on the agreement you made with the original creditor.

Not sure why Martin Lewis never covers this on his programme.  He should be shouting from the rooftops. Don't pay DCA's without a CCA.

DX - Under DPA they are allowed to sell the account as part of the T&Cs but financial data is covered under PCI DSS Compliance and they cannot "Just" send financial payment details to another company and set up a DD willie nillie. They need consent from the SC / ACC holder and a signed DD Mandate. 

This is a very very shady thing to be doing. If paying by Standing Order however - Its different as the Debtor is in control of payments and while the company can see SC / ACC on payments, they cant just set up a DD :) 

 

I believe that the ICO needs to get involved here. :)

Because, Restons got a CCJ against me for ANOTHER debt I didn’t pay, not only that but all correspondence was sent to my old address and CCJ was without my knowing until the new owner of my old house moved in and forwarded the mail to me (house was empty for a year).

 

When I received letter regarding this debt, I was scared and Restons bullied me. I’d been very ill, and wasn’t able to fight, so I just agreed to pay it.

 

Stupid thing is, in the past I’ve foufhg loads of debts and had them either written off or just left, and are now statute barred. So I know what to do I’m just rusty at it and need a bit of help and support.

yes std CAG advise is to use SO not a DD

 

but this was done over the phone and unrecordedi suspect... before the OP was wise from CAG advise.

 

I would suspect that the reston dd has been cancelled and a new one,  following the clients instructions set up via drydens, with previous permission gained over the phone, under their  client instructions to be able to do so. 

 

agreed not right.

agreed short practice

but a payment via dd was agreed to a solicitor operating under their clients instructions to do so...

those instructions were carried out...

 

an sar to CQ, restons & drydens might prove useful, 

but if there is really any there there to go after is debatable...

Thanks for the info so far. 

I've sent a CCA request with postal order. 

I want to write to Capquest aswell to complain about them passing on my data (direct debit details) to another company, as from what I understand after a little bit of research, they have breached GDPR laws. 

Is there a template for this?

Not sure about GDPR laws.....possibly Banking and the Direct Debit guidelines.

Still not heard from them so they are now in breach - I assume I now ignore any future requests for payment from them?
