    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.
    • paypal, but i would like to know if anyone knows if there is a certain time limit they have to refund you? thanks
    • Dear lookinforinfo, I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but what exactly am I telling them? -what code/ law / standard have they broken that I will use as an argument in letter? I don't understand the premise of your argument.  I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me clearly and in simple terms so that I understand.  Thank you

    • 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 everyone,

Here" an update,since last Tuesday 13 feb.

Paid £5.oo directly to halifax,and asked for my statements for the last 6 years,Have recieved them today 20 feb,but only going back to march 2004.

Have moved around alot in the last six years,but surely this shouldn"t be a problem.

Spoke to Halifax over the phone again,and have been told to go into a main branch,with ID and they will sort it out.

So im off to the bank again this week.

Will i have to pay again,do you think?

I think previous card going back was probably a halifax credit card?(reason they only sent me 2 half yrs of statements,not sure?Three kids and four moves in the last few years has frazzled my brain?) £676.OO SO FAR!:confused: IN CHARGES!!!!!!!

Any tips for me please.

Also,i had a halifax credit card, over 2 years ago,can i chase that up as well,for charges of say late payments?:eek:

I would just stick to what you are doing now and if you have any questions then post them in your thread, pleanty of people here to help you. Just make sure you read plenty of other threads to familiarise yourslef with the process so that you know what to expect.

You are right to claim the returned DDs and unauthorised overdraft charges etc.

Also you can claim the credit card charges for late payments etc.

 

PS you should not have to pay anything else for your remaining statements for your bank account.

I give advice not as an expert on law, only as a guy who succesfully claimed back £3385 from The Halifax. Followed by another £2611.

 

Lloyds TSB settled in full before hearing

 

Cap One offered full settlement and default removed.

So is that right,i shouldnt have to pay any more money to halifax,even if i asked for six yr statements, and i had forgot that i changed my card from credit to debit card over 2 1/2 yrs ago.

I should go to the bank and asked for my credit statements now going back the previous 3 1/2 yrs.??????:-? :-? :-? :-? :-?

hi mummyofthree,

 

as far as not having to pay anymore money for defaults well No thats not scrictly true the banks continue charging as they always have. For every account you have had you need to send a separate S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) (well you could of listed all your accounts in the one S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)) but probably as easy now to send a new one listing your CC account number and wait for statements. Your entitled to your entire history with the bank even if this was twenty years ago so dont be fobbed off with only a couple of years worth.

Yes get hold of a law pack kit (i have one) and it is very usefull reading for bedtime, gives you lots of reassurance and breaks down the process step by step.

Once you have your bank statements then total up the charges, and put them into one of the spreadsheets and work out the interest they owe you (depending which route you want to take of course, ie contractual interest ect) and then print off your Prelim letter with your details on it ie account number and anme abviously, then give them 14 days.

Then send your LBA (letter before action) letter and again give them 14 days. Then if they have not made you an offer, ring the branch and ask for the manager tell him the situation and if they dont offer to pay you will be starting court action and at that point they will be liable for your court fee and 8% interest, (be reasonable with them and they might pay there and then)

If not start the court process (the law pack will help loads with this) everyone on here will offer support and guidance though its only you that can actually do it.

 

Be strong girl...go for it ! :):p

Hi mummythree,

Not many people on here have the book, as all the help is on here.

im sure i read that some one said there wasnt a lot of info about bank charges in there. If im wrong then some one please feel free to say..!

 

There is a programe on friday night, trevor mcdonald. On at 8 with Martin Lewis. (the money expert.......genius guy) all about the charges.

 

Any way if you ask the bank about the credit card they will have to give you your details.

And if you have charges then get them back.

 

Also if you paid for your statements for 6 years then you should recieve 6 years regardless of if you have moved. As long as they had the address then they have to send them.

It might be worth giving them a ring. Did you ring customer services. The number is

0121 234 1068.

Please dont ever feel stuck, if you need any help just ask, theres always plenty of people here to help. :D

When sending SAR, the best thing is to add all account numbers on the one letter.

Then it covers them all.

Hi everyone

Just spoken to the Halifax today (21/02) after sending my letter into them for my Data Request, they've happily banked my cheque for £10 on the 13/02 but have no record of the request for statments on my account....quick enough to take my money though!!!!

 

so have now reordered my statements and should be with me in the next 7 days....we'll see!!!
