    • no DCA is a bailiff end of neither do they have any legal powers whatsoever. i would write to everyone simply giving your current abroad address , inc proof of residency. that will stop all threats going to anywhere else.  
    • 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.

    • 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.

Deb,

The courts normally close at 4pm.

Even if you get the call from James agreeing settlement, you should still attend court tomorrow (if only for the experience:D )

There have been posts on here where the Abbey have agreed settlement and also attended hearings (mostly phone hearings), so it`s best to go along to the court and advise the clerk that Abbey have agreed to settle and ask for the hearing to be postponed (not cancelled) for a month pending receipt of cleared funds by you from the Abbey.

Deb

 

if you havent already make the settlement condtional to being paid in seven days.

 

If they argue tell them you will see them in court.

 

When i settled with Barclaycard i made this a condition and had my payment by return post.

 

Oh and if they fax/email you a form to sing, dont be afraid to write this condtion on it, initial and date it and send it back to them. Keep a copy too.

 

HTH

Hi Armsoft just rang the Court and they ve said to do what you have said!!! so will trot along tomorrow with a big grin on my face hee hee !!!!!!

 

Congratulations Deb.

 

It may seem a bit like `Crossing the T`s and Dotting the i`s` but better to be safe than sorry, and as I said, if only for the experience it`s got to be worth it.

 

Interestingly I had a bit of a result with Abbey today, they`ve removed a Default Notice against me today, and I`m not due in court till the 22nd March, so this is a Real result for me as I can now consider a Defamation claim against them:D

I`m just waiting for James to call me to agree to pay me the Compensation I`m after, else I will start putting together my next claim details ready for filing against them, he`s got till the end of the day to phone (and I am not going to phone him, the balls in his court now:eek: )

I requested statements 28/08/2006 everything went pretty smoothly on that score. Claim was filed in October and 30/11/2006 AQ was completed. court date Tomorrow. Going to go to ask for an adjournment for 7 days to make sure the payment is in my account (brand new shiny one) and as Armsoft says just for the experience.

 

Looking forward to it not dreading it now..

 

Good luck Adam and follow the plan. I only ever sent a post when i had a wobble and the advice is well can only say FANTASTIC!!!!!
