    • 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.

Read up more threads on this site...There are plenty of people who have already gone through what you're about to...At this stage, you can claim for all overlimit charges and late payment fees. First thing first though..You must send a CCA - template in library- to the DCA who are holding your account..Dont forget to send it recorded delivery and with a £1 postal order..I doubt the DCA will reply to your CCA request within 12 working days, so you'll need to let them know that the account is 'in dispute' ...You also need to decide what form of interest you intend to claim...Either contractual or the normal 8% . It is important you decide which form of interest you intend to claim before you send a Prelim letter for payment....

Just hate every DCA out there

I am currently at the stage where i have sent on the 12th March my 2nd letter (letter before action)! today i recieved a letter from cap 1 dated the 9th March offering as a good will gesture to reduce the fees charged since oct 2001 from 20.00 per charge to 12.00 per charge (i calculate that they owe me 1180.00) they are offering to refund my account by 440.00 (cheeky bleeders) what do I do about this letter? Do i respond or do I ignore it and carry on with waiting 2 weeks then issue a court claim???

 

Thanks??? Oh when it gets to the court claim is that when i add on the 8% interest??

Hi Jemg1077

 

Send them the rejection of settlement letter.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html

 

Accept the money on the clear understanding you will persue them through the courts for the remainder.

 

When you file your claim with the courts then you can add the statutory 8% interest. This is section 69 of the County Courts Act, and therefore can only be claimed at this point.

Thanks, ive just looked at the rejection letters but cant decide which to send, the letter i have recieved is attached to a form which i have to sign that states ' i confirm my acceptance of capital ones offer to refund fees totalling £440.00. This action by capital one is accepted by me as closure of my complaint'! No where on the letter does it state full and final settlement??? So which letter do I send or do I have to send one???

Hi Jem

 

Use letter 1 : http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html

 

Do not sign the form sent with it. You will be accepting their terms if you do.. Just send the rejection letter. You will get it all back, but you may have to file with MCOL. They may then file a defence, then they pay up..

Does this sound ok i have just altered it a little but I dont know if i have missed out something important, they have only offered to knock the 440.00 off my account if i sign the attached statement!!

Dear Sirs

 

Thank you for your letter dated 09.03.07 received today 16.03.07

I respectfully decline your offer as Full and Final settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totalling £1180

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

 

My letter before action dated 12.03.07 indicates that you have until 26.03.07 to respond before I commence legal action. My deadline remains the same despite this offer.

 

If you do not accept my conditions, or you do not respond within 7 days, I wish to stress that I do not accept your offer.

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

?????????????? Do i need to put anything else in or is it ok????

Hi all, well im at the stage of completing my court form, in total i am owed £1180.00 of which capital one offered to refund me 440.00 in full and final settlement, i responded saying that i would accept this as part payment but i would be continuing my claim for the rest. Since then i havent heard anything back therefore do i claim for the full 1180.00 plus interest or knock off the 440.00??? Im due to put my court papers in on thursday so its quite a rush??
