    • 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.

i would not be paying any DCA on any OD debts.

as for the other debts are there any and is he paying them?

i suspect not and simply ran away from his debts and never updated anyone of the move.

Yes he has other debts that he is paying. The debt in question he informs me he been  regularly paying Via direct debit  with the exception of couple months missed payment. 
 

Strangely one would assume that he ran away but far from it - the first ever call from Moorcroft made him petrified and complied however with no notice of assigned or any formal agreement in place It has left some doubts the way in which his debts is managed.

looks like he made some form of attempt via a scamming reclaim company to reclaim package account fees in 2014 after the A/C was upgraded 2yrs earlier to one with various insurances inc in a monthly fee after probably being told in branch he can't have an OD without the package by a staff member who pocketed the commission fee of about £400 for selling this account to him.

the org account was opened 2010.

 

i would suggest there remains some worth in this reclaim and that was the route cause of the OD balance and subsequent fees and interest, but not all of the £4k balance but halifax shipped it out as it remained an issue they knew about.

 

pers i'd simply stop paying link.

but lets see this credit file.

IMHO stop paying link now.

 

he'll get a forest through his door threatening everything including murdering his grandma budgie.

but he is safe to ignore everything until or unless he gets a letter of claim from their favourite wolves Kearns solicitors.

 

then comeback here.

 

but don't forget to send a letter informing them of his new address and again if he moves.

Lol I like that phrase ‘forest’ 🤣

 

so we write to Link to update his address? Should the letter be straight forward. 
 

by the way my friend says thank you so much as you have given him hope

looking at the statements closer, haliprats were charging him £97PCM in fees going back 30 mths = £2910

prior to that we know he has had this A/C + its package fee of £10PCM since 2012 

so i make that 6.5yrs X £10 = £780

and i bet there were OD fees in that 1st 6.5yrs too

hence the balance is all unlawful reclaimable penalty charges.

hence why haliprats dropped it like a hot brick.

 

safe to say..well sad to confirm...Link have been cash cowing him from day one, and to a certain extent Haliprats too. plink wont go near a court room door.

 

write to link the following (yes white lies too)

 

dear Plink.

 

your ref number xxxxxx

ex Halifax current account OD ref xxxx

 

i have recently taken possession of numerous letters from yourselves, Moorcroft and Halifax dating back to 2017 regarding the above alleged debt, the contents of which are duly noted.

 

Since 2017 and a subsequent divorce , my address changed, so please carefully note my correct address contained upon this letter.

 

It has also come to my attention that you must now be the legal owner of this debt as you are issuing statements and have been accepting my payments, of which neither you Moorcroft nor Halifax notified me of.

 

whilst the account was still with Halifax i was quite happy to pay a small sum with regard to the account, even though it was subject to a long running dispute. 

 

As i now understand things from seeking financial advice, Halifax must have sold you the debt sometime last year for a much reduced sum from what you claim is actually outstanding.

 

The outstanding balance you purchased IS SOLELY made of £4000 worth of unlawful penalty charges ....(£87PCM dating back for 30mts & £10PCm dating back to 2012+ more )  which was the basis of my dispute with halifax.

 

As the debt has now been sold without resolution, i shall now be ceasing all payments.

 

should you wish to contest this action, i am more than happy to see you in court .

 

 

yours

 

disgruntled debtor
