    • Unsettling the applecart?,  I'm going to be direct here, I know how this works , I've been in far worse situation than your relative, and I can assure you , now that there i likely a default in her name, it makes absolutely ZERO difference if she pays or not. Denzel Washington in the Equalizer , 'My only regret is that I can't kill you twice'... It's the same with a default, they can only do it once and it stays on your credit file for 6 years if she pays or not, and as it stands right now she's flushing £180 of her hard earned money down the toilet  so that the chaps at Lowell can afford a Christmas party. As for the SAR this is everybody's legal right, originally under the Data Protection act 1998 and now under GDPR, it's her right to find out everything that the original Creditor has on her file, and by not doing it the only person she is doing a massive disservice to is her self. As the father of 2 young adults myself, they need to learn at some point.. right?
    • Thank you for your pointers - much appreciated. dx100uk - Apologies, my request wasn't for super urgent advice and I have limited online access due to my long working hours and caring obligations - the delay in my response doesn't arise in any way from disrespect or ingratitude. I will speak to her at the weekend and see if she will open up a bit more about this, and allow me to submit the subject access request you advise - the original creditor is 118 118 loans and from the letter I saw (which prompted the conversation and the information) the debt collection agency had bought the debt from 118 and were threatening enforcement which is when she has made a payment arrangement with them for an amount of £180 per month. It looks as if she queried matters at the time (so I wonder if I might with the FIO request get access to their investigation file?) - the letter they wrote said "The information that you provided has been carefully considered and reviewed. After all relevant enquiries were made it has been confirmed that there is not enough evidence present to conclusively prove that this application was fraudulent.  However, we have removed the interest as a gesture of goodwill. As a result of the findings, you will be held liable for the capital amount on the loan on the basis of the information found during the investigation and you will be pursued for repayment of the loan agreement executed on 2.11.2022 in accordance with Consumer Credit Act 1974"  The amount at that time was over £3600 in arrears, as no payments had been made on it since inception and I think she only found out about it when a default notice came in paper form. I'm a little reluctant to advise her to just stop paying, and would like to be able to form a view in relation to her position and options before unsetting the applecart - do you think this is reasonable? She is young and inexperienced with these things and getting into this situation has brought about a lot of shame regarding inability to sort things out/stand up for herself, which is one of the reasons I have only found out about this considerably later Thank you once again for your advice - it is very much appreciated.    
    • That's fine - I'm quite happy to attend court if necessary. The question was phrased in such a way that had I declined the 'consideration on the papers' option, I would have had to explain why I didn't think such consideration was appropriate, and since P2G appear to be relying on a single (arguably flawed) issue, I thought it might result in a speedier determination.
    • it was ordered in the retailers store  but your theory isnt relevant anyway, even if it fitted the case... the furniture is unfit for purpose within 30 days so consumer rights act overwrites any need to use 14 days contract law you refer too. dx

    • 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.

:) Hi there,

 

Been reading up on things for a couple of weeks now and decided to go for it. Sent my letter away today requesting my statements. So I will wait & see how I get on. A little nervous though! Never mind, I will keep reading up on things. :)

Hi Gil,

 

Great start, nothing to get nervous about though - as you've probably seen from reading these threads YB/Clydesdale can be a little harder to tackle, but you've got as much help and support as you need here.

 

Just give a yell if you need anything, and make sure you keep us updated with everything so that we can see what's happening should you need any advice :)

Thanks PJ,

 

A couple of things you might be able to help with are: The account is in joint names, does that mean we both have to claim against them or can one of us just pursue it? We both signed the form requesting the statements just to make sure that they couldn't waste any time! Have also asked for my credit card statements, so can I claim on both accounts in one go or will they be individual claims. It will probably be just late fees on the credit card & service charges on the bank account. Also we live in Scotland so I understand the procedure is a little different to England. Will be greatful for any help. From what I've read about the Clydesdale I think I'm gonna need it!

 

Thanks to anyone with info, Gill

Hi,

 

Today I received a letter confirming that the Clydesdale have received my SAR. The letter thanked me for my request. Also confirmed my £10 payment. It then went on to say that they have 40 days with which to comply & that I will be receiving statements in due course.

 

The only thing I was wondering was that my SAR was sent to the Head Office in Glasgow & this reply has came from Leeds. (Advice Quality Unit, Charges Section, Third Floor, Brunswick Point, Wade Lane, Leeds, LS2 8NQ.) I was under the assumption that Glasgow was their Head Office & any correspondance should be sent their.Their letter states that if I need further assistance I should contact Leeds with my reference number.

:confused:

Should my request for charges be sent to Glasgow or should it now be Leeds I deal with.

Anyone??

Nothing after the 40 days is their normal trend and the ICO appears to be doing nothing to correct this, which is their job. I suggest you nip over to the DPA Non-Compliance FAQ:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html

 

Mine went off last week to Yorkshire and they have until tomorrow to come up with the goods. Seems unlikely they will bother complying with the law. They haven't so far. So Wednesday it's down to the court to begin action to force them to provide them. (Next thread down).

Good luck. You won't need it but you will need a lot of patience, which they thank you for! :roll:

Cheers Devonshrimper, no need to now as I received statements today (day 40) for mastercard account, my current account statements are at the post office. Will pick them up tomorrow & go through them. They sent letter of apology for taking so long. Seems to be due to amount of requests they've had!!:-o Thanks Again. Gil

Statements arrived yesterday morning. I received 6 years statements. Should I just chance asking for the 6 years? It all mounts up to just under £300. Do I apply interest at this stage?
