    • 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.

Hi all , recieved to day from county court notice of acknowledgement of service from capital one they are defending all the claim which in total comes to around 1500.00 they have until the 2nd may to file a defence... is it likely that this will proceed to court or is there a chance that they will settle??? Getting worried???

Don't worry, there are a few of us with court claims pending, mine was deemed served on 6 April and have also now received acknowledgement of service that they are going to defend. It is to be expected. What date was your claim served to Cap One.

7 threads merged, pls stay on 1 thread per claim, it helps keeping track.

 

I think if you read a few completed Capital One threads, you'd have found the answer to your question yourself.

 

It would also help you conquer the fear, which is mainly due to the fact you don't know what's round the corner, when it's following a very similar paths to others before you. Why put yourself through that? Read on, and know what to expect next, and it will help settling the jitters. :-)

I have read through quite a few threads but i have to admit im not the brightest spark and some of the terminology confuses the heck out of me like MCOL it must have took me a week to suss out what it was lol!! Anyway the claim was served on the 4th April so from my reckoning that means they have until the 2nd May to file a defence??? The thing is as well i cant check on line because i didnt issue the N1 through MCOL i did it at court due to being exempt from fees.... but hopefully the end is near!!

 

Anyway thanks to evertone whao has respnded and answered a few of my silly questions ive really appreciated it!!

Hello Jem

 

Click on the username of the person you want to send a PM to. That will take you to see their personal details that they may or may not have put in about themselves. There you will find a link 'Send a private message to .........' By clicking on that link you can then write a message and send it. This is called a PM(Private Message)

Hello Jem

 

If you go to the home page of the consumer action group, and scroll down to the bottom of the homepage, you'll find everyone that is using the forum at the moment. Just click on one of the green names. The names in green are moderators, the names in pink are site-helpers. I don't know the difference, all I know is that they are all very good!!!!!!:D

OH YES!!!!! Recieved a letter from Crap one today!!! It reads;

 

Dear xxxxxxx

 

I write in connection to the above court claim, which you have issues against capital one i have now had the ooprtunity to investigate your claim of 1517.54

 

blah blah it is denied that these charges are unlawful as you have claimed blah blah..... Whilst we do not accept liability for your claim i have in an effort to resolve the matter without the need of acourt hearing refunded 1517.54 to your account. This refund has cleared your balance and i have arranged to send you a cheque for 1091.24 which you should recieve within 14 working days. These refunds are made purely as a gesture of goodwill and we will now defend your claim on the basis that we have refunded the correct amount.

 

So all i need to do now is wait for the cheque to arrive... they said to inform court to confirm settlement but until i have the cheque in my hand im not doing anything!!!

 

Anyway thanks to all for all the help and support given.... Do i need to tell a moderator that the claims won or do i wait till ive recieved the cheque...

 

Once recieved a donation will be on its way couldnt have done it without the help of this site and all the members!!!:lol:

Hi all just an update, as of today still no cheque, i rang the court up who says that there has not been a defence submitted as yet, so im wondering what to do have i to leave it for a little while longer of have i to enter judgement??? Rang capital one but the department that deals with these issues do not recieve phone calls (typical) when i rang capital one they did say that the balance on my account was zero and that i had a 200.00 credit limit (god knows how i havent had the card for years) and i certainly dont want another!!! So do you reakon that i give them a bit more time or enter judgement???

It looks like they have just re opened your dormant account. Tell them that any balance left after clearing your balance is to be sent out as a cheque and the account closed.
