    • 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.

Do Credit Card companies regularly check CRA for other unrelated defaults?

Clumsily phrased question but I'll try and explain:

 

I have a loan with TSB with about £3900 outstanding from an original £5000 principle.

 

I also have a Barclaycard with a £7k limit, and £2k balance - on 0% for another 15months.

 

Due to Covid I have recently lost my job.

 

I have no savings.

 

In the, hopefully, short term only, I will need to use my Barclaycard for living expenses, cash, rent, utilities, food, etc. Not ideal, I know, however needs must when the devil drives and I'd rather get through this current situation and stay afloat to worry about future debt at a later date when hopefully I've secured more employment.

 

My question is, the upcoming payment on my TSB loan could be covered by transferring cash from Barclaycard to my TSB account, but is it better to let the loan default and come to an arrangement with them (I've already used up my 3 months deferment/repayment holiday grace period with them)? And if the loan was to go into default with TSB would Barclaycard eventually see the default due to my credit rating crashing, and pretty soon cut off my 7k line of credit, or as it's unrelated company am I "safe" to keep using Barclaycard over coming months.

 

I don't expect to be in a position to pay the loan in the next 2 to 3 months either way, so would rather just bite the bullet and let it default now. However I NEED this Barclaycard as my only source of funds for at least the few months too. I can keep affording to pay the minimum payment on Barclaycard each month irrespective.

 

Hope the question makes sense, please ask if I need to explain my reasoning further.

 

Ta.

Just to clarify, I'm not looking to get new credit or new cards/loans, I'm concerned that if my loan defaults with TSB, then Barclaycard will eventually get wind of it and cancel my EXISTING credit.

 

Make sense?

Ha! A man of few words I see DX100UK! I meant is anyone sure that Barclaycard won't get some sort of warning that my credit rating has nosedived and I've defaulted on other lines of credit. Are you sure they don't routinely check that I'm still a good risk, etc.

 

If you are sure, could you let me know why you seem so sure. ie/ evidence. 

 

A man on the internet who only responds with 3 word answers doesn't inspire me with confidence, sorry!

 

Anyone else? Thanks.

Hi Dankest 

 

And welcome to the forum - Yes - Banks and Credit Card providers do regular administration checks to check for defaults. 

I personally have had a CC removed because of a default early in my days. 

 

They do it even more so now. My brother had an OD removed because of a late payment caused by a catalogue company causing an error. It was resolved and a £500 cheque sent to him.

But that should answer your question now. 

 

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for an adult and comprehensive response at last, fkofilee, you've restored my faith in the site! Ha! Don't know what that last bloke was about! Odd!

 

This is exactly my concern, I was worried Barclaycard may become aware of my suddenly reduced credit rating due to loan default and cancel my credit.

 

So in your opinion, would it be better for me just to borrow the money to keep paying the monthly loan to stop if from defaulting then, in case it forces Bcard to cancel my credit?

No - My advice is to speak to your creditors directly and pursue no further borrowing from any institution. 

I have to keep Bcard as I have no other source of income till my UC kicks in in 5 weeks, but even then it won't be enough to cover bills till I find a new job.

You do have other options. But you need to seek advice elsewhere for this on I think.

What "other options" might there be when I have £9.34 in my bank account, and £5k available on my Barclaycard?
