    • we have known for a very very long time that 9/10 the OC never knows IRRWW are chasing debtors nor  in some cases even taking money from them that the OC never ever see!! IDRWW pockets it -  free money - lets all go on a staff holiday. there was an article some years back whereby that quoted some +£4M debtors had paid to IDRWW on UAE debts that when contacted the originating banks knew nothing about....😎  
    • let the ombudsman do their job. you'll win handsdown you dont obv owe OVO p'haps anything at all.  dont worry about Past Due credit or any other DCA ( THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!) as for you being added to the debt, thats quite OK, you were a resident adult and equally liable under law. once you start getting things moving via the  ombudsman dont forget to get your credit files cleansed of any negative data & seek compensation for distress etc, again the  ombudsman should sort both out for you. as you are now NOT a customer of OVO, there is very very little they can do to you now.  
    • A question - did you use the supermarket or the restaurant? I see the restrictions are different. Sign.pdf
    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx
    • Npower and Scottish Power and others have always had regulations that require them to treat customers fairly - the threads here and my experiences demonstrate that those regs are little more than useless.   Even Octopus recently spent month after month saying they needed to increase my monthly payments despite my credit balance slowly going up TWICE I had to reset it online back to prior payment as they unilaterally increased it unilaterally. Raised formal complaint and they than said i was paying too much and reduced the payment, again without my agreement, although that time at least they told me they were doing it.   .. and Octopus has been one of the better ones.

    • 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.

so many to choose from but lets have Newlyns for claiming to have visited my property on numerous occasions to deliver letters. Calling daily despite being told not to adding huge charges to the debt when they were only entitled to charge a fee once.

 

Thanks to you CAG guys I was able to get them off my back by writing to my council.

 

I have more but cannot remember all details companies were Lowells, Capquest, Wescotts, GBDR

 

worse than all these is Welcome Finance (yes I know they are not a DCA)

 

cheers

How about APEX writing on behalf of Halifax (re a disputed debt) saying they had made an enquiry to The Land Registry where we have confirmed that you are the current owner of *******(my partner's house). Lies Lies Lies. They say "It is our intention to consider litigation action against you to obtain a County Court Judgment and then secure the overdue balance against your financial interest in this property by way of a Charging Order Application." Shame it's not my property!!! Used CPR 31.16 as they were threatening legal action and section 7(1) of the Data Protection Act. Guess what? They've sent the usual standard terms and copy contract - no signature.

eos solutions split the balance of 1 freemans account into 4 and sold a portion to weightmans & threatening me with the other balances.

 

Their is only one account so why has it been split up.

 

 

Another way is sue the original dca for your costs. Ie letter writing etc and sue them. This works.

So whats cooking today ?

Good morning...

 

CONGRATULATIONS - A LOT OF EFFORT, BUT WORTH IT....

 

SOMETHING WE SHOULD ALL TRY WITH ALL OF THE BANKS I THINK - ANY COMMENTS ANYONE???

 

By the way, why don't we ALL join together and consider a possible 'Class Action' against these 'repeat offenders'. This action would surely result in Criminal proceedings being bought against those responsible for their own behaviour, and of course that of of their staff!!

 

See 'FRAUD ACT 2006' - some good posts on this.......

 

As always

 

 

Best wishes

Credit Security Ltd for ignoring my letter stating I had no intention of entertaining any doorstep calls yet their agent came knocking 3 times (all ignored). Relentless calls to a mobile number (all ignored) now calls to work. Letter regarding calls now sent. Lets see if these muppets can understand it!

Lowell Financial for sending harassing letters despite accepting and receiving, on time, a token payment; also trying to get my new telephone number from my son, who is a minor

I'm not sure a DCA is allowed to do that! AFIU, it's only the bank that can shunt money from one account to another. Go and speak to you Nationwide branch right away and get that sorted! These people will try and leave you with no money to live on but they are not allowed to do that! They have to leave you with enought to cover all your outgoings - all of them - and enought to live on! Somebody posted about this back in August but I can't remember the thread.

 

HAve you started your own thread?

Hi Flyboy,

 

I don't know if you mean my posting as I've put information on this subject on a couple of threads.

 

Some (most?) banks will have in the small print of their agreements that they can offset outstanding credit card debts against other accounts, or just take money from your one and only account if it is seen as disposable income.

 

The Financial Ombudsman Service is very clear about "disposable" income. You must be allowed to pay your mortgage or rent, the council tax, tv licence, utility bills, travel to work expenses, and other essentials. You are also allowed to eat and feed your children if you have any. Your bank may not care about taking the food out of your mouth, but thankfully FOS does!

 

You are not obliged to make any of these payments by direct debit or standing order just to make it easier for the bank to assess your "disposable" income. They may ask you to prove that you have these expenses, but I have only ever been asked to fax a copy of my mortgage statement once - and I went to their nearest branch and got them to do it so there was no cost as I haven't got a fax myself.

 

The first time the bank did it I called the FOS immediately and got the money back the same day. They've tried it three times this year and always refunded immediately I've said "Financial Ombudsman Service." The FOS will give you a reference number and a direct line to someone in customer complaints who will actually deal with it.

 

The bank will want you to use DDs or SOs. If any of these are unpaid because you have no money in your account the bank will return them and charge you for doing so. This is what I have explained to the FOS and the bank. It's quite clear from my account that there are no DDs/SOs for any of the things I have mentioned above but it does show debit card payments for them on various dates when money has come in.

 

I'd call the FOS first thing tomorrow, and then call the Nationwide with the reference number they give you.

 

Good luck.

 

DD
