    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

    • Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • 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.

Dont worry, stay cool...they will leave it as late as possible, if you ended up in court (which I VERY much doubt, someone in your area might be able to come and support you!) Dont worry about the Joint account bit, its all fine!

Received a cheque on Saturday morning for 597.04 - about 100 more than claim but then I have had 50 extra charges go through this month so maybe they're covering their backs.

 

It was accompanied by the usual letter about how it's not an admission of liability and they will be contacting me regarding the account. They're going to have no customers left at this rate!

 

Thanks everyone for your support and good luck to everyone who's in the process.

Hi,

 

I only have £75.57 worth of charges and I have sent the Request for payment letter and the letter before action and received the same as everyone else. I am a bit worried about sending the claim form. I have read the FAQ's and being me I am a bit confused. Can anyone email me who has been succesful with the A&L what they put on their claim form. Does the form go to the local court? Or do you think it is worth the fight.

 

Good luck to you all.

 

Thank you

 

Carol

I am in a state of shock. I checked my bank this morning and they have applied another 75 pounds of charges for paying amounts of 15.79, 10.88 and 11.50! THe ironic thing is that I paid in the cheque from them on Monday and desperately needed it to clear as we had no cash - so the refunded charges hadn't yet cleared and caused further charges!

 

I rang the call centre and they advised that I would be contacted about it in writing from the supervisor, I told them if the charges weren't refunded that I would be starting the whole process again. I think they'll probably close my account now but luckily I've got my parachute account open and ready to go!

Sent a preliminary letter and the amount has been refunded but it looks as if they're going to withdraw our overdraft. Luckily we've got enough to cover it as we have come into some money but this could be difficult for people who are worse off.

I've been home and actually read the letter now and it appears my partner missed out the most important part. Alliance & Leicester are closing our accounts on 4th July and want us to return our cards and cheque books in a teeny tiny little envelope (this is going to be quite difficult considering they send us a new chequebook every other week whether we need one or not!). I'm not sure what to do now as we were going to close the account next week anyway - we've switched to another bank.

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. You have your money back, you were going to close the account anyway. You could just destroy (shred if possible) the cheque books etc, and tell them you have done so. Surely it's just a case of whether you want them to close the account, or you want the satisfaction of closing it yourself and telling them why. I understand it doesn't affect your credit rating either way. :rolleyes:

I don't have a problem with them closing my account, my only bugbear is the reason they're doing it - as a consequence of me claiming back money which is lawfully mine!

Well you wouldn't be the first to fight the closure if you wanted to go that route. There are other examples in the forums.
