    • 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.
    • depends who said sols state their client is. IDRWW vis~IDR(worldWide) are a debt collector regulated & registered in the UK & USA    they are not solicitors. they use various 'for hire' - here use our letterhead paper tiger solicitors. its just a case of who's stupid enough to join their folly. IDR law used to be their fav but they lost do much money, they broke ties after almost being struck off and now do Will/Probate disputes only. IDR Legal are their sols wing. moriarty law Judge and priestly Taheel - a foreign DCA that use absolutely any trick in the book to extort money even pretending to be any of the above inc being the bank themselves in phone calls.

    • 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, first of many posts me thinks..

 

My wife and I have held separate accounts (two each) with HSBC for the last 6 years. We started the process on my wife’s accounts about three weeks ago and now have all the statements etc. We've filled in the spreadsheet and calculated they've taken £3243.50 in charges plus £54.12 in interest (think I worked that out right).

 

So the next steps.. send the first request for repayment for my wife’s' accounts. My accounts on the other had are a different matter. They closed my accounts for me late last year as they were overdrawn by about £60 each (because they were applying charges to the accounts!). Then to add insult to injury, because I refused to pay them the charges, they added 2 defaults to my credit file! So I have filled in the data access request and will be sending it tomorrow.

 

I hope the charges on my account add up to quite a lot, I don't suppose it will hurt them as much as those defaults have hurt me, but at least I may feel I got some justice. So here's to the long road ahead (and believe me, I will not be accepting offers! It's not about the money, it's the principle).:mad:

Welcome aboard smart !... if you haven’t already I would read the following http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/38807-newcomer-heres-user-guide.html

Then start to read the threads here, they will give you some great background and insight into the workings of both HSBC and DG (the solicitors) and you will start to recognise the letters they are sending you and the slimy reasoning behind them.

Good Luck with your claims

Hi all,

 

have been going through the FAQ and stuff and the following worries me a little...

 

"If your account is closed, it is likely that the Banks will make an entry which could affect your credit score and make it difficult to get even a debit card in the future..."

 

 

I started this process as part of an attempt to clean up our credit ratings because we want to buy a house.. If they dump bad ratings on our files, we're back to square one.

 

Any advice welcome.... Thanks.

A couple of things firstly as part of the settlement you are seeking from them you can insist that the defaults against your credit record are removed. Secondly as this is your first claim for this account they are unlikley to close your account so it should not be a problem. It is also worth pointing out that the financial ombudsman takes a very dim view of banks that engage in that sort of practice and may open the way for another claim against the bank in the event that they did close your account.

Right then, we're on the way. The first letter has been sent for my wifes accounts, asking for OUR money back. Still waiting for my statements to come. Will keep posting on our progress.

Ok, help please! I'm at the MCOL site and my claim doesn't fit in 24 lines. Do I have to tell them I want the money in a cheque? You see, we have an outstanding loan with the bank and I want the money back, not the loan paying off.

Ok, it's been a while since I posted our progress, sorry about that. So, here is the update. In my wifes case, we've submitted a mcol for £3821 and have received and acknowledgment. In my case, I sent the data access request, that expired. I sent and 7 days "send it now or else". That has now expired. Not too sure where I go from here, anybody?
