    • 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.

Just a quick update, preliminary request for repayment sent on 19th June, so 4th July is their deadline, then letter before action will be sent.

Hi, sent LBA on 4th July giving 14 days to settle, partner received reply very quickly, the main points of which are;

 

Their fees are in line with other banks. OFT believes default fees of of £12 are likely to be fair (not exactly what the OFT statement said?). Capitol one disagrees with their analysis and believe their current fees are fair and legal.

As a matter of goodwill, they offered to reduce the fees applied to the account to £12, therefore offering a refund of £168.00.

A settlement form is included, reading as follows, 'I confirm my acceptance of Capitol One's offer of late payment and overlimit fee refunds totalling £168. This action by Capitol One is accepted by me as closure of my complaint about the fees added to my account.'

No thanks, Capitol One.

I have all my statements from the time the account was opened so I don't think I need to ask for account information under the DPA.

 

I was wondering what you used for the prelim letter?

Hi, just used the preliminary approach letter in the library, replacing the reference to direct debit refusals and exceeding overdraft limits with late fees and overlimit charges.

Hi, letter from Capitol One yesterday offering full settlement as a 'gesture of goodwill'. An additional £40.00 has been charged since the claim began, wondering how the following part of the settlement form would affect claiming for this;

 

"I will not take any further action in relation to this and I understand this offer is made without any admission of liablity on the part of Capitol One and I agree to notify the court to confirm settlement"

 

Does the 'further action' part refer only to this case or does this stop us taking action against any further charges?

It will mean no further action on your part at all, so you obviously don't want to be excepting that. I'd write back to them saying you will be continuing with your court action until you get a full settlement offered with no conditions applied. They will either have the choice of defending or paying up with no conditions. :)

Hi, another case won but with a lesson learnt. My partner decided to sign their offer letter as, I suppose like a lot of people on here, we need some money coming in fairly quickly. So, we posted this acceptance, but before Capitol One had received it, they wrote again saying as they hadn't heard from my partner, they had credited her account with the full amount.

So, if we had waited a little longer, the money was paid up without any conditions and we could have claimed again for the extra £40.00 that has been charged. Just waiting for my DPA info for my own Capitol One cards, so at least I have a good idea of how they will act.
