    • Thanks guys. Received a letter today from Resolvecall to say that I have been removed from their files and my account has been closed, it continues to say that I maybe contacted in future by Intrum or another debt collection agency. Do you think it’s worth finding Itrums address and sending them the same letter? Thanks in advance 
    • He is still trading.   I won't get anything out of it, no.  But is that the point?  Not charging it means the Govt misses out on important revenue 
    • for whatever reason, if you did not get the original PCN on the car/by hand nor in the post before things escalated you need to appeal using the correct forms, not a soft appeal to the issuing council Which forms to use for which offence pe2/3 & te7/9 - Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences - Consumer Action Group  
    • as this situation has now come up again for you, how confident are you that if you get on the straight and narrow with having a respite of 60days (Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)... would you then be able to resume ok? if not quite honestly, the very best thing you can do is to get ALL your debts defaulted by the issuance of and the registering of a Default Notice from each creditor. this is done by stopping ALL PAYMENTS, it wont hurt you short term, esp as all the debts are still with the Original Creditors. this of course will kill credit for 6yrs, but, will cause the debts to vanish from your file (paid or not, paying or not) on the DN's 6th B'day, but of course that wont mean the debts are not still owed, legally, just your file will be clear of them all. if you read a good 10-20 of the stories in this very same forum you found to start yours, you'll soon get the idea behind the advice given. as for things like IVA/BK etc NEVER EVER do those, that secures unsecured debt. just contact one of the free DMP providers and get breathing space implemented, that gives you a 60 day buffer to firm up your future actions. but DO NOT enter into a DMP, do one yourself. they can be a bit pushy, but simply insist you just want breathing space invoked, i would only be giving them enough info to achieve BS too, don't give them anything you don't need too, they are funded by the banks and debt collectors and can sometimes be over intrusive and nosy wanting info that is better not revealed. dx

    • 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.

UPDATE:

 

Sally from Halifax rang me to tell about 3 OTHER accounts. "I thought whilst I was doing statements for you - I'd check to see whether there were any other accounts."

 

How sweet and kind of her! (And I'm NOT being cynical!!!)

 

Sadly: one of them is already being dealt with - no surprises there.

 

Two were savings accounts (now closed).

 

But, Hey! One was an ISA -still open and with dosh in it! I'm £50 better off than I thought I was!

"I'd check to see whether there were any other accounts."

 

I'm sure she was nice, Dusary, but if you refer back to this post on my thread, you'll see that you should be able to walk into any branch with ID and get a printout of all your accounts including a/c numbers, open/close dates (for active AND closed accounts) etc. instantly. Give it a try if this lady doesn't come up with the goods ;)

 

This is also a useful tool in another way - it indicates that they certainly hold at least some data about you going back ages - in my case 20 years :D

I should point out as a rider to the above post - the printout I refer to is a summary, with no transaction details - it should be just one A4 sheet for most people i suspect.

Ah Well!

 

Rang a number given to me by someone who is following my progress very carefully.

 

S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) Request Team: They now have it on record that something is happening! They have requested ALL the information on the #1 a/c PLUS, PLUS, PLUS .......

The 2 other accounts they inadvertently let slip that I once had.

PLUS, PLUS, PLUS ......

The 3 Loan accounts I had had!

 

They said that these would be with me within 14 days!! (We'll see!)

 

As a High Heart card:

I politely read out a bit of the Information Commissioners Office letter!!!

 

Then I rang the 08457253519 number to ask how the Senior Review Team was getting on.

 

Surprise! Surprise!

 

I spoke to the nice lady I had spoken to twice before. She recognised my voice!

 

She could tell me that the SENIOR REVIEW TEAM had sent me a letter on 27th June (yesteday - 2nd class) OFFERING me:

 

Wait for it: £5,116.23 for the #2 a/c mad0058.gif

£2,308 for the #1 a/c mad0058.gif

(and, of course, I haven't got the full history for that a/c!)

 

That seems to me to be £7,931.87 adrift on the #2 a/c (excluding the interest!).

 

And £2,848.39 adrift on the #1 a/c (excluding the interest!).

 

Any guesses what I'm going to say to them when the *OFFER* comes?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mad0233.gif

 

 

 

 

 

 

!!!OH! AND THERE'S A POSTAL STRIKE TOMORROW!!!

 

 

MMMMMMMMMM Let me guess what the response is from Mr Dusary.

 

It is good progress though. I am pleased. I know you will be, obviously.

 

Same thing with me at that stage. Onto review team, 4 weeks or so. At some time phone them up, link it to length of time, their failures etc and zipity do, it will go up to the 100%. Would be nice to get the statements (still waiting). All of this can be used if referring to FOS or elsewhere, later.

 

Sally sounds helpful. Have not really come across that before. Bit of a stand out even!!!!........ Potential employee of the year!!!!!.......Lets not say that, otherwise she will end up on one of their infernal adverts!!!!!

Well - AT LAST!

 

For years and years and years, SSL, they've been running after me - but for different reasons.

 

Now there's a jaunt in my step - or something equally "Irish"!

 

And had it not been for CAG - I'd have folded under the pressure!

 

Not now!

 

Not even if they refuse to go any further.

 

Oh! NO! This is the beginning of the "END".

 

AHEM! Once I get my FULL history of the #1 a/c and the histories of all the other accounts that nice "Sally" told me about.

 

And now I've finally persuaded my Secretary to get going and begin to chase LLoyds TSB. She deserves success as well!

 

(I know you are reading this *Dear Secretary*!)

 

And, even if there are still some humpy-bumpy bits to circumnavigate:

 

I know that HBOSplc are caving in for my claim(s) as well!

Printed out the 4 "rejecting offers" letters in readiness! Unfortunately, I have to be off at sparrow-fart on Saturday morning to Perth (6.50am train) - so won't have the pleasure of opening their offer letter and reading ........

 

Dear Dusary,

We are so sorry that for years and years you have mismanaged your account(s) with our connivance.

 

We admit that we have fleeced you on many occasions, charging you £39 a time when it really only cost us £2.

 

We also admit that due to our ineptitude as a financial organisation we have delayed, or seldom if ever, replied to any of your letters and those we did respond to were way beyond the time-scales set down by law.

 

We think that you are very naughty running to the Information Commissioners Office.

 

However, as a gesture of goodwill, we are prepared to offer you 27p as FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENT..... if you will just sign below and promise never to tell anyone of our generous offer.

 

Please do not trouble us any further about the other 7 accounts. We are too busy trying to conceal vital information from all our other customers.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Joe Smith

Senior Review Team Manager (who receives a £1k bonus every time a fool like you accepts this first offer)

 

PS. Sally has been demoted! - So there!
