    • I am worried about being able to continue paying them and wasting money on debt that I am likely to end up defaulting on if I have a job loss anyhow. I am thinking it might be best to default on it and work out the rest as they get sold on perhaps 
    • i hark you back to two years ago. as these debts are still with the original creditors 'm not really to sure why you are still worrying about these debts. not alot anyone can do, even if in 2-3yrs on , they do get sold   to dca's. dx

    • Hi dx, the only secured debt we have is the mortgage on our property and that is a joint mortgage.  all payments are up to date with a clean credit file albeit with a of debt so no missed payments etc sorry what is f&fs? If I am made redundant I am not wasting it on paying all this unsecured debt down and leaving my family broke. This is the dilemma I am currently in. i am not sure I can mentally keep living the way I am I am weighing up how to deal with it without leading to needless ccj threats etc… not sure what direction I am to go in. Hi uncle, okay but 3-6 years of a bank owning my debt means our files are destroyed for longer than 10 years based on that ? Not sure this works out for us that way? Unless I am misunderstanding you
    • How are you funding the privately run supported living housing in the new city ?  Why are you moving? Have you served in armed forces previously? If you are registered with the existing Council as disabled or have other needs they assist with, then depending on the reasons for needing to move, your current Council may help with costs of moving. But you would have to submit an application to them. So you are best to speak to your current council about the help you are seeking.  It is not about a Council being responsible as I don't think there are specific laws saying a Council has to help with costs of transportation. And in regard to Housing costs in new city, as this is going to be private, I don't think the Council will pay under Housing Benefits. You might have to claim Universal Credit, but UC might not cover the full cost as Housing is limited to Local Housing Allowance. Citizens Advice are generally worth contacting about complex Housing issues.

    • 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, I'm new here so please be patient with me!

 

I've just issued court proceedings against abbey to reclaim charges and interest totalling £1150

 

I've received a letter from the court this morning saying that abbey intend to defend all of the claim and also a letter from abbey asking for details of the charges and interest so they can put together their defence.

 

Should I be scared? Or is this just a stalling technique? please let me know if anyone has any experience of this.

 

Many thanks

Rach

Hi rach,

 

I bet your letter looks like this doesn't it?

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/72134-defence-letter-abbey-help.html

 

stalling tactics, but you'll need to send them another copy of your schdule of charges etc

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

......................................................

I have no legal expertise or qualification, and give advice on the basis of my own experience and nothing else.

Hi,

 

This is the standard reply from Abbey! I've recently received the same. Just send them a further copy of your schedule & then sit back & wait for their defence to be filed. In the meantime spend time reading up on lots of other Abbey threads to get a feel for things & familiarise yourself with the next stage.

 

Keep posting your queries on here, there are lots of helpful people who will advise you but also read read read!!!. Good luck!
