    • Hi I was caught shoplifting 4 items £20 worth, I’m petrified the Police will come to my house now please can you help. What can I do I worried about my job. 
    • I heard nothing more from J&P but have now had an email from the bank saying they have instructed IDR to act on their behalf?  so are they just passing it back? Selling it on again? I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing 
    • 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.

I have just received a letter from Cobbetts defending my claim for bank charges. I have 14 days to reply but I do not know how to proceed, I do not fully understand their defence. They have not replied to any of my previous correspondence except to the courts on the 26 day of there 28 days to put in a defence. Should I see a solicitor or is there a simple way to deal with this myself. They claim that the particulars of the claim fail to disclose reasonable grounds for bringing a claim against them and that the claim is incoherent and does not disclose any legally recognisable claim against them. They invite me to remedy the above in 14 days. It appears to me that they have not received the earlier correspondence asking them to repay the unlawful charges. I did sent all the corresponsence recorded delivery, twice giving them the opportunity to repay the charges but they have not replied. Any advice welcome, I only have 12 days. Thanks.:???:

They claim that the particulars of the claim fail to disclose reasonable grounds for bringing a claim against them and that the claim is incoherent and does not disclose any legally recognisable claim against them.

 

They always say that - it's their standard letter and meant to intimidate you. Don't let them. There is plenty of advice on this site on how to proceed.

 

Initially, just send them a copy of your spreadsheet with a covering letter 'for your information'. Otherwise just wait to hear from the court. THe next thing you should get is the Allocation Questionnaire but some courts are not bothering.

 

If you do get an AQ go here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/11644-allocation-questionnaires-guide-completion.html

 

if not, go here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/80091-your-court-dispensing-allocation.html

 

In either case, don't panic.

I wonder why so many others claiming bank charges seem to have some kind of contact with the banks or Cobbetts. I have only received one reply to all the correspondence I have sent and that was from Cobbetts to defend my claim. They requested that I clarify my claim as they seem confused by the lack of information for this case. I wrote to them with copies of schedule of charges, summary of charges, covering letter etc. I gave them 14 days to reply. Today is the 14th day, no post, no phone call, no email, no nothing. This may be a good thing, can I please have some advice on what to do next? Thanks.

Well onward and upward. Fill it in, get it sent back in plenty of time with the fee it says is payable, then sit back and wait for your cheque to follow some short time after. Lol. xxxx Onward and upward. Nearly there.

Thank you fendyweather for your support, I have visitors this week and not a lot of time to read through the advice for section G. This section causes problems for many others, really stressed about this as the time lapses. I don't want to make any mistakes at this stage. Any advice. Thanks. pot plant.

Thanks for the info and the link. I think section G is difficult, other information that you consider will help the judge to manage the claim. Should I put in this section that I have also paid £994 in bank charges that were standard charges, that I am only reclaiming excessive bank charges. Over the period of 3 years that calculates an average of £27 per month which I accept as reasonable. I have not mentioned this fact in any of my correspondence and I feel that this is important to mention, but I am unsure if section G is the right place. Any advise please, although I do understand if I don't get a reply at this time, I've just looked at the clock. I started reading all the threads and time just ran away. Thanks Pot Plant.

I was about to deliver my N149, luckily I had to lend my car for an emergency yesterday and could not get to the court. I have got until Tuesday to return it to the court and after reading about the test case in Birmingham I want to make sure the courts have all the facts. I do not want to be the second person to lose. We will all have to tread very carefully from now on. An appeal would mean more stress and now the outcome is not as promising as before. Please could I have a reply to the question of the charges I am not claiming. It appears to be more important now as we need to show the judges that we have paid an amount already for the interest and bank charges. Thanks. Worried Pot.

Thanks Hedgey for the reply, I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but what does bump mean? I use my computer for very basic tasks and all this lingo like furl, thread, post is all new to me. I am determined though, and work twice as hard to overcome the unknown. I now realise after spending all day and most of the evening reading other threads that section G of the N149 is not the right section for adding comments about charges I am not reclaiming. I have decided to copy the New strategy for Allocation Questionnaires posted by Bankfodder, as I have gathered most of the evidence needed for the draft directions anyway. If I new how to add a link here I would, still struggling with new tecno. I have tried looking for a help section to deal with how to use this website but I can't seem to find any instructions. Has anyone got any advise on that, I would like to be more helpful to others and add other links if I find them helpful. Anyway I'm not giving up, even if I have to spend every waking hour on this court case, I will take it as far as I can. Some words of encouragement please. From a plant that is going slightly POTTY!

Hi again potplant, sorry I couldn't help with this. If you do feel really stuck though and nobody responds on this thread, I think you should PM a mod or Michael Browne just to make sure you've got everything right.

 

Good luck mate - hedgey xxx :p

Pot plant stop worrying so much. The case with Lloyds yesterday we are all sure will be overturned at appeal, and the guy was claiming for other things as well as charges, something to do with SAR. Not sure of the full story, but its business as usual on this, so carry on with your claim, and dont delay on anything. Get everything submitted that has been requested in plenty of time before deadlines. Continue on as normal. Nothng to worry about just now.................. Fendy xxx

I have several questions as I am preparing in advance to go to court. I have sent off the AQ and draft directions for the court, the deadline is today for their return. If the court agrees with the directions I have little time to prepare and don't want to leave any important information out. First question is how can I get hold of the T & C's for a Current Account Plus & Advantage Gold Account as I changed my account in 2001? The charges I am reclaiming is for the same account number but I don't have any info about T & C's. Another question I have; I was reading a thread, but can't remember where, that the T & C's should have been sent with the SAR request and I can write to Cobbetts & court to have the case struck out because the defence has not produced the information requested. True, false, give it a go, or should I apply to Cobbetts for T & C's or Nasty West. Any advice welcome. Thanks Potty.
