    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

Can we quote that bloke from Barclays in our AQ's or Court Bundle - especially the bit where he said.

 

"To charge £30 or £40 is a bit harsh really."

 

Just goes to show what CAGers have been saying is based on fact rather than supposition.

 

Add something in to say "I respectfully draw the judges attention to...."

 

I wonder how many Barclays customers will be moving their accounts now? :lol:

The problem is where to move your account too they all seem to be as bad as each other.

 

As for the charges being "a bit harsh" what doesn't come across on paper and you know that the judge would miss is the tones of understatement in the way in which it was said. :D

Letter 2 from Rachel Tomlinson informing me that HSBC is confident that its charges are reasonable and would be successful in court. However to save management time and costs they are willing to offer me an ex gratia payment for the full amount I am claiming.

 

Bring it on!!!!!!

 

I have heard what the banker has to say and he has asked me the question.... my response ... Deal!!!! :D:lol::D

 

Strange thing is the offer is a bit more than I was expecting actually to the tune of the daily interest rate I was claiming. I wonder if they have been reading my posts!!!! Now to read up on accepting an offer!! :)

I love the two contracdictory letters from the same person. Sounds like Ms Tomlinson doesn't know her *rse from her elbow but at least you have got (the offer) your money.

 

Well Done :smile:

Date

Dear Whoever

Ref: Your Offer of Settlement

 

Account: xxxxxxxx

Sort Code xx-xx-xx

Claim No: XXXXX in XXXX County Court

 

I acknowledge receipt of your letter date xx/xx/xx and your settlement offer of £XXX

 

I accept your offer as full and final settlement only for this claim of bank charges made on my account between xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx(dates of first and last charge)

Ok guys please let me know your thoughts on my letter?

xxxxxxxx –v- HSBC Bank plc

xxxxxxx County Court

Claim No: xxxxxxxxxx

Your Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxx

I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated xx/xx/xxxx and your settlement offer of £xxxxxx

I accept your offer as full and final settlement only for this claim of bank charges made on my accounts xxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxx in the period xx/xx/xxxx to xx/xx/xxxx. I agree not to make any other claims relating to these charges.

 

I accept this offer without prejudice and reserve the right to make any further claims should they be brought to my attention and may be considered unlawful under common law or in violation of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 or Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of this claim within 7 days. The settlement monies should be deposited in my account xxxxxxx. Failure to adhere to these conditions will result in me continuing my claim with the county court. I will also inform the judge regarding your actions and that consideration of your request for a one month stay as indicated in your allocation questionnaire should be ignored as an attempt to stall the court process. I will also request that the judge adopt my draft order of directions issued with my allocation questionnaire in order to bring a swift conclusion to this matter.

 

I am also not prepared to agree to any confidentially clauses you try to impose, unless of course your client wishes to make an offer of due consideration in addition to the amount of £xxxxx, in order to be afforded this privilege by me.

 

I trust that you will find these arrangements acceptable.

 

 

Notes: There are two things I am wanting to do with this. 1) Leave open the possibility of going after charges made before the 6 year limit. 2) Ensure that the settlement is paid in a timely manner!!
