    • whitelist - the same with mine....the battery had a mind of its own. i bought it for my Son...he'd shut it down and it would be completely off but the power light would either stay on or flash...also it wouldnt start properly, had cmos errors on boot and other stuff.   i bought it through HP store on ebay ..brand new. after 6 days of receipt i recieced an email from HP asking if i was happy...i returned an email saying no and that i want to send it back as it was faulty (basically the email served as a reminder for me to leave them good feedback lol...not as a geniune enquiry to actually make sure i was happy with as they didnt reolve the issue when i was not) after trying to sort it for a couple of months with HP not replying, not offering a solution etc i finally got passed tech support who confirmed it was faulty. i then had to return it to their factory. this is where its gets beyond worse...waited 3 times for parcelforce to collect - they didnt. in the end HP sent me a label which i had to take to the post office - not good as im disabled with a mobility disability. then they asked for my bank account number to issue the refund. they hardly ever replied to my emails and it took over a month and a half to refund me once they had received the laptop back. no explanation, no progress emails, no updates. i kept emailing them on a daily basis as no one would reply to my emails through the website, forum, internal email addresses and even phoned 3 different departments who basically had no idea what to do or what was going on and did not help...they couldnt even tell me when the refund would be issued, let alone why it hadnt been done already. on the forums theres other customers who've had to wait 6 weeks , 2 months , over 2 months etc...it seems as though HP like to with hold peoples money to earn interest on the money in their account. i spents days phoning and emailing them - even sent a recorded letter. at the begining i phoned citizens advice and they said i am entitled to put back into the same financial position as before i lost the out of pocket expenses ie: compensation for my time and recorded letter sent etc. ive started a martin lewis 'resolver' case with them and basically in a snotty reply they told me im not entitled to compensation which is contradictory to what citizens advice told me. i was just wondering if theres any .gov website or law/legislation that i could reply with and say "no your wrong - please compensate me"
    • LBC is here. Complete with a note showing a phantom payment. What to do next?
    • I suppose it doesn't make a massive amount of difference as Kev has never had the guts to do court - well at least not yet - but to me the number of cards played still needs to be reduced.  Given the OP has already referred to the "very busy and overflowing car park" in the appeal I'd refer to that and tell Kev to go and look up case no.3JD08399.
    • thanks ftmdave again for the help with letter. thanks lookinforinfo for the info, im glad i found this forum as its a great comfort and relief to know ive dont the right thing as i wasnt too sure at first. and good to know what excel are really like.   thanks guys.

    • 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.

Only the normal - three phone calls where they were abusive, continued phone calls after I'd formally asked them to communicate only in writing, an implication that I had a CCJ despite the fact I've looked at my credit record . Complete refusal to provide a notice of assignment or authorisation OR a Credit Agreement even after I sent them a CCA request. Failure to inform me who owned the debt, and a failure to abide by the Companies Act 2009 in terms of providing the required Stationary information on their email.

 

I knew the correct laws to quote, so they've disappeared off the scene... It'll probably be 1st credits turn next, but they can't do anything without a CCA.

 

I realise its a typo but could you tell me more.

Hi

I have today received a hand posted letter with my name on the front and a scrap of paper saying ring paul on extention xxxxx

 

I called the number and asked what the compay was. they said j2 solutions (alas MH) but would not tell me what it did. The lady was rude and put the phone down. I called back and she keeped asking my name. I didnot give her any details as she would not tell me what she did.

 

I think it was a debt from 1994 that I keep getting accused of.

Not really sure anymore details but dont want them coming to the house again as it is embarising..

 

Any idea what i can do if they come again. can i throw them of my land etc....

 

Cheers

Just talk to them in the same patronising way they talk to you. Violence isn't the answer. I wouldn't certainly laugh in their faces though, tell them they weren't getting a bean, call them idiots and ask them what the hell they were going to do about it! ROFL

What sort of world do you want your kids to grow up in?

Simple answer. If they call at your house TELL them to leave. They have absolutely NO LEGAL rights to be there. How polite you are is your business. Personally I would tell them to F OFF If they refuse to leave telephone your local police to report a breach of the peace. Remember they have NO rights. Do not even engage in conversation with them.

Or you could just keep telling them to come round in a few days and just keep laughing at them. LOL Surely they would stop coming round after a while. See how many times they come round. We could run an idiot doorstep collector contest. See how many times someone showed up before the penny dropped! If they really are superdumb and you get bored with them just follow ODC's advice. You have to have the stomach for such machinations though.

MH are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They ar more than likely on a fishing trip. Obviously someone with a similar name or address as your partner so the monkeys have probably sent quite a few of these letters out to see if a sucker responds. Then it will be all threats and bullying. NEVER RING THEM. Your partner can write to them and ask them to prove he/she owes a debt or send them a CCA letter (template N) by recorded delivery enclosing the £1 fee. No matter which course of action he/she intends always write at the top of any letter I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OR ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY. If you start getting phone calls from them set the phone down or promises of Doorstep collectors start your own thread and you will get plenty of help in how to deal with these numpties

We have requested CCA for the t mobile debt and united utilities, we got a letter back from wescot re united utilities saying We can confirm under the terms of the comsumer credit act(exempt agreements) order 1989 article 3(1) (a) this account is not regulated by the consumer credit act and is enforcable.

 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

 

Thanx lorraine

Hi all. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong thread or has been discussed before.

 

I have a problem with Mckenzie Hall (as it seems we all have).

I owed £800 to halifax cetelem (Dixons). Last year I was contacted by MH that they were taking over the debt (before that it was Lowell contacting me). They said they would accept £500 as a settlement. (I cannot find the letter)

I payed this thinking that would be the end of it. I did ask for a letter saying I had payed, but one was never sent.

 

I have now been contacted by a company called "Hamptons legal" Regarding their client "Lowell portfolio 1 Ltd"

 

They are asking for the rest of the money (300) to be payed and are threatening court action.

 

When I looked at the bottom of the "hamtons legal" letter they are a "Trading Style of Lowell Finacial Ltd". Am I wrong in thinking that Mckenzie Hall is also part of Lowell?

 

I am totally confused by this. Do I pay? Do I take them to court before they take me? Surely if they said they would settle and clear it for 500 then that is it?

 

I have this feeling that I am being swindled. I would pay to get rid of them, but I'm disabled and unable to work, so I cant really afford to pay. Not with three kids to feed too.

 

Any advice on this matter would be greatfully accepted. Please I need your Help.

Hi.

 

MH are not part of Lowells.

 

Write to MH asking that they provide you with a letter proving the settlement of the debt or you will be forced to contact TS & OFT as they haven't passed full information about the status of the debt onto their clients.

 

Write to Hamptons advising the debt is in dispute and the reasons why.

 

Unfortunately, without a letter, it really is your word against theirs so it may prove a bit of an uphill struggle for you.

 

If MH don't comply, i would hit them with a SAR next.

Debit card - there will be a record of payment then. When, to whom and for what amount. Check your statements and you haven't got them get onto your bank. There may be a charge - but if you're clever you could claim this back from the greedy debt collector when you ask him for all cvosts incurred unnessecerily.

Hi all. Thanks for the replies.

 

I have heard that there is a letter that I should send Mackenzie Hall asking them for proof of payment. But i am not sure what it is called.

I think its something along the lines of proof of release of debt or satisfaction of debt.

Is it one of these or am I totally on the wrong lines?

Hi everyone.

 

A friend of mine has had a letter off MH chasing up an old student loan. As the loan was given (I think) by the government, are they not exempt from their own laws. e.g data protection because in any other case it would have been illegal for the lender to pass personal information to a third party (MH).

 

Please don't quote me on this, it's just what I've heard. Any feedback would be appreciated.:?
