    • I posted a couple of years ago about our debt situation and have been trying to pay off our debt as best we can. It is a possibility I maybe made redundant in a few months time, so I am trying to find out everything I can about what happens in today’s world when you can’t pay. I keep finding conflicting advice on various sites so I wanted to post this quote to get thoughts. It claims basically that the dca will likely get enforceable documents these days and therefore it’s likely you will have to pay dca at some point during the 6 year process.    on here I read a lot of comments assuming the exact opposite of this. A lot of the threads on here state the beginning of the process but I never see conclusive stuff about what happened from start to finish to get insight into whether debts post 2015 have been enforced etc. I hear a lot here not to pay dca companies but most my debts are post 2015 debts I am all up to date on our debts but if I lose my job it is likely I’ll end up where I tried to avoid in the first place. Which is destroying our files and dealing with DCA. I’ll post it below so you can see what I mean.   It is likely that any debts incurred after 2007 will end up with all the documentation being provided and being enforceable. Therefore you should use the time while awaiting responses going through your Income & Expenditure and considering any possiblity of making a full and final settlement. It can take a number of months to reach the stage of a hearing date and exchange of witness statements and normally you would be able to settle or come to an arrangement to pay before the court hearing, once documents have been provided, although this isn’t guaranteed.

    • 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.

Barclays have offered me a settlement, but will only put it towards my overdraft and will not send me a cheque. Surely this is my money to allocate how I want, I have other things to pay. Can they do this? If not, does anyone know how I should go about getting a cheque from them? Please help!!!

As you say, this is your money and your terms.

They can not tell you in which way to spend your money.

Inform them that you accept the amount but under your terms and you require payment via cheque or BGC into your or another account.

Failure to comply will result in you continuing to court.

 

DONT LET THEM BULLY YOU

Thanks for your help, I've tried this approach and they won't seem to budge, I said it is my money to do with as I like, and if they won't give it to me I will take them to court and they more or less said 'ok carry on'. If I fill out a court claim can I specify that I want the funds by cheque?

Thanks for all your help

Yes, put in your particulars of claim that you require payment by cheque or into a nominated account.

On my barclays claim i put that i required payment to made by BACS to a nominated account of my choosing.

I did more for the fun of them having deposit all their charges into another bank account then my Barclays acount

If you take them to court you can probably get a lot more money from them too as they seem to only offer the minimum that they can get away with

get hold of the spreadsheet wich allows you to claim contractual intrest and then work out how much it will get then phone barclays and tell them you will take them to court for the contractual intrest too , so its in their best intrest to pay you by cheque and not mess around

Do you think I should ring them and say I am in the process of filling out a court form, but would rather settle out of court as long as they agree to my terms, ie: more money and by cheque!! (which would save them the court costs) What do you think?

I would not bother wasting my time on this. Barclays only seem to settle very close to your court date - the day before in my case.

What's the big deal?

 

Either they pay it in your o/draft if you are within it, and you can pay your bills from your o/draft.

 

Or you are over your o/draft limit, and they have every right to offset this with the repayment, as you have "unauthorised" borrowing, which they are entitled to have back.

 

Be VERY careful about refusing full payment because of the method of payment, a judge could take a dim view about that. However, if you are determined to carry on, make sure you have set out the required method of payment from the court claim, you won't be able to do that later.

The big deal is that I want my money!!! I wouldn't have been so overdrawn and forced into a state of no return if they didn't keep whacking on charge after charge!! My account is closed with Barclays, has been for some time and I make monthly payments towards the outstanding overdraft amount I owe. However, they are not adding interest and other debts I have are, therefore I would like to pay them off first. I am also not happy with the amount they have offered although I know they are willing to negotiate with me on this, but they won't budge on sending me a cheque, and I just wanted to know where I stood.

As Bookworm said, If you owe them money they are entitled to take that from your settlement.

 

Why not try and agree to having the balance sent to you by cheque.

If your account is closed and you still have the overdraft you owe them £1300.

YOur overdraft wont be authorised anymore because the account is closed or your account would still be open.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I thought Barclays would pay the money into my Barclays account, but in typical Barclays fashion they left it until the 11th hour to pay. They left no time for a cheque to be sent and cleared by the time of the court date. So they did a transfer straight into my Natwest account.
