    • Thanks dx for your kind words. I plan to renew my season ticket and write a new begging letter as following, can I ask for any suggestion about it?   Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,   Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.   I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.   I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.   Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.   I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.   I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.    Yours sincerely,
    • You did what??? You asked them to send you the documents that without them you had  a 100% ironclad win in Court. Why on earth would you do that? As it happens in this case, there is still enough mistakes in their PCNs and the NTH to have your case cancelled. Amd it may be that not sending those documents in the first place along with the ICO complaint and the letters from Alliance themselves which would confirm by the dates on the letters may be enough to cancel it anyway. I hope you have kept their letters as evidence? The chances are that Alliance will not actually take you to Court because of their errors but you never know.  You have made so much extra work for yourself in your WS if they decide to push their luck.though. Can you please post up their letter where they give the reason why I wasn't sent with the NTH.
    • I'm not sure that I fully agree with my site team colleague above.  My understanding is that there is nothing to stop you recording but it is strictly for your own personal use.   
    • I live in a student house, with 5 tenants, unihomes is our utilities provider, who we each have a direct debit set up with and have paid each bill every month. Two letters were sent in my name by BWLegal saying I had two outstanding payments due adding up to over £3500, I have tried to contact british gas (as that is apparently our houses provider) as well as Unihomes. Nothing has helped and BWlegal are pursuing legal action if these debts are not resolved by the 1st May. What do I do? I've called Bwlegal when i bring up that the debt isnt for me and for unihomes they hang up on me. so I am stressed and do not know what to do
    • cant do either if its not in a public place or on your land. 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.

I recieved a very pretty pink stripey postcard in the post this morning.

On the reverse of the card the following:

 

Ms XXXX

 

We would like to arrange for a representative to call at your address within the next week.

 

To speak to one of our co-ordinators please telephone XXX XXX on XXXXX quoting reference number XXXX.

 

Now I have no idea what this is about and just wondered if any one has had any dealings with this company. I'm assuming it has to do with some debt or another and with my track record it's lottery as to which one.

 

Obviously I have no intentions of inviting any representative to my home. Just thought I'd see if anyone has any info on this company before I ring them to tell them that.

Fairclaire,

 

This is one of the companies chasing me for a debt that someone else took out in my name. I believe they have links to Barclays or Barclaycard card.

I would not even ring them, because that would make them think that you have time for them. If you do not know what it is about, then i would put that pretty piece of pink paper in the bin

They cleverly disguised themselves as Direct Loans and Collections on the letter they sent to me.:x

 

Goodluck

B

Thanks all for the info.

 

Haven't bothered to ring yet and don't think I'll bother at all. I'll let them write to me with whatever it is that they want.

 

Can only be an old debt as I have no recent ones. and thought all the old ones were sorted out? Well whatever it is I'm sure they'll let me know soon enough

 

Thanks again everyone who replied

 

Claire

Ok a bit late in the year for a posting to this subjectbut, I have recently received a fancy stripey bit of paper also- asking me to phone and quote XXXX or they will arrange to send a 'representative' round to visit me- I assume the 'represantative' will be the type called "Daz" or "Gaz"- eaten one too many pies, sports a couple of faded eagle tattoos on each arm and has a shaved haircut? or is that what the TV biz does to you- make you cynical!

 

However- seriously, the said debt, is only small, and something I am currently contesting via a solicitor- I received a letter from "Direct Legal" some months ago regarding the said debt of £55.00- I replied with a letter, stating I was contesting the amount and had referred the matter to a solicitor- also including their details so "Direct Legals" accounts can contact my solicitor directly for confirmation. My reply was posted recorded delivery- I had no response to this letter in any form (which was delivered- I did check), and now I receive this slip- which I will pass on to my solicitor.

 

Has anyone on here also had similar experiences? I assume the offices of "Direct Legal" are either in-efficient or just plain arrogant?

Hi

 

I got one of these postcards in the post this morning addressed to my husband. We have a DMP through CCCS which includes an egg debt which I think this postcard refers to. I just wondered if anyone has ignored the postcard as suggested in previous posts and what happened as a result? I'm worried that the heavies are going to turn up unannounced when I'm home alone with 3 very small children.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

First of all Moomoo, don't worry, if anyone turns up they have no legal powers at all, tell them to get off of your property or you will call the police.

These so called doorstep collectors have no more right to ask for money off you than I do if I knocked at your door unannounced.

Just keep the postcard for reference and wait to see what else turns up, they will write again eventually, just remember that a DCA is similar to a school bully, they pick on the uninformed and vulnerable and if you stand up to them, they'll eventually move on to someone else who have not yet found CAG.

When/if you recieve anything else, start your own thread and advise will follow.

Best Wishes

Stigman

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

I've just had my 6 monthly demand fo £1864.85 off these chancers. Remember Direct Auto Finance? I do. Now nearly 5 years ago I returned a car under the halves and thirds rule. Direct Auto Finance found a bizarre loophole and took me to court. I paid the full amount immediately. Three months later they threatened me demanding more money. They even broke the DPA giving my details to a finance company suggesting I take out a loan to pay the imaginary amount. DAF went 'bang' but resurrected itself as Hillesden securities. Remember. If it quacks, has got webbed feet and waddles its a duck!!!! It seems to me as time passes the only people they are kidding is themselves.
