    • Hello, welcome to CAG. Can you tell us more about what happened please? Who stopped you and which shop? Best, HB
    • You don't mention what the debts are, which is important, as it really depends on the details in deciding best course of action. So list types of debt e.g credit card, type of loan, utility bill; current owner bank or dca; approximate amount for each debt.  And do you own any property assets. There is no blanket advice regarding all types of debts. Whoever you contact regarding debt advice would want to know all of the information. The debt buying businesses deal with multi billions worth of debts. They can't issue Court claims for most debts as the cost of pursuing would be ruinous and don't have staff resources. Instead they rely on credit records being impacted and therefore people need to resolve the debts. And they rely on anxious debtors paying amounts after receiving threatening communications. If you know you are likely to be made redundant, start looking for other employment soon. Due to longer recruitment processes being followed by employers, it can take about 3 months between applying and starting a new job.
    • Hi I was caught shoplifting 4 items £20 worth, I’m petrified the Police will come to my house now please can you help. What can I do I worried about my job. 
    • I heard nothing more from J&P but have now had an email from the bank saying they have instructed IDR to act on their behalf?  so are they just passing it back? Selling it on again? I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing 
    • I posted a couple of years ago about our debt situation and have been trying to pay off our debt as best we can. It is a possibility I maybe made redundant in a few months time, so I am trying to find out everything I can about what happens in today’s world when you can’t pay. I keep finding conflicting advice on various sites so I wanted to post this quote to get thoughts. It claims basically that the dca will likely get enforceable documents these days and therefore it’s likely you will have to pay dca at some point during the 6 year process.    on here I read a lot of comments assuming the exact opposite of this. A lot of the threads on here state the beginning of the process but I never see conclusive stuff about what happened from start to finish to get insight into whether debts post 2015 have been enforced etc. I hear a lot here not to pay dca companies but most my debts are post 2015 debts I am all up to date on our debts but if I lose my job it is likely I’ll end up where I tried to avoid in the first place. Which is destroying our files and dealing with DCA. I’ll post it below so you can see what I mean.   It is likely that any debts incurred after 2007 will end up with all the documentation being provided and being enforceable. Therefore you should use the time while awaiting responses going through your Income & Expenditure and considering any possiblity of making a full and final settlement. It can take a number of months to reach the stage of a hearing date and exchange of witness statements and normally you would be able to settle or come to an arrangement to pay before the court hearing, once documents have been provided, although this isn’t guaranteed.

    • 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.

This is all standard stuff just fill in the AQ send it off with any fee you have to include £100 if over £1500, no fee if less. You will then be given a court date and will need to porvide doc prior to the court date see here: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/33060-basic-court-bundle.html

Don't worry they will settle before this.

Hi Guys,

 

I need some advise please, I started my court preceedings back in January and have now heard back from the court, I have been asked to attend a Preliminay Hearing on July 18 which is really dragging out my case!!!

 

Do you think I could ask Barclays if they would normally attned this as I am sure they should but would not have the time to do, that way I could ask them the best course of action and whether to settle now as the interest is just going to keep mounting up until my court date which could be August/September time!! :O(

 

Any help/advise would be great.

 

Many thanks

No not that I know off I just really want an end to this as it is really dragging on, do you think the bank will cave before this prelim hearing or carry on until the full hearing should it go ahead? My case will have been running for 7 months by this time. I can wait though and see what happens in July...

Hi , I too have a preliminary hearing on the 18th July. I called Barclays and they told me to call back about three weeks before the hearing to arrange settlement as they are really busy at the moment!!!!!

Personally, i think the courts are doing this to get B's to pay up earlier, Barclays will also be instructed to attend and when they dont, aint gonna look good is it,

Recently there have been cases that members have contacted the Litigation team and told them they have a hearing date [dont tell them its a prelim] and they have been settled within 48 hours.

 

So i'd give it a try if i were you, wait until about 10 days before the hearing and send them an email or phone them direct.
