      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By dx100uk · Posted

      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

      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By Easywayout · Posted

      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,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Got a court date through now for July!! Problem is its actually H account and I dont think he is v comfortable about going to court. I now feel bad for declining Barclays offer (which was about 75% of the claim). So what I wanted to know is how Barclays are playing it at the moment - are they settling before the court date or will we have to face them? Also, is it reasonable to contact them befroe our date and arrange a settlement?

Im happy to go to court and fight them tooth and nail but I now feel bad that I have pushed H into it.

 

Thanks

Just sit it out until about a couple of weeks before court date and give Barclays a ring say something like 'Got a court date on .... and was just ringing to give you a last chance to settle before we meet at court.' Generally Barclays settle before. Make sure you get the full amountyou are asking for its your money they have plenty of their own!!!:wink: Easier said than done to tell someone not to worry, but if you follow the step by step instructions on there you shouldn't go far wrong:)

Good luck with convincing the hubby!!!! :D

I got the letter yesterday stating that my court date is 19 July in Portsmouth and that the hearing will last no more than 20 minutes. Do you happen to know if it will just be us or will they see a load of others in the same boat too?

It also says the defendent has 28 days to supply a list of the charges. Nothin about what we have to do, supply or how to prepare. Can anyone please advise ?

 

Thanks

l but I now feel bad that I have pushed H into it.

Okay, think of it this way, you can push him into letting you spend all that lovely money when you get it.

 

Ref your last post,, are you sure it says DEFENDANT to submit a list of charges???

The list of charges are yours..................??

Might be worth giving the court a call to clarify,

As suggested if you hear nowt from B's before the hearing, give em a call about two weeks before enquiring why you havent received their court bundle or are they willing to settle out of court.

just to let you know H does not have to go to court if that is what happens, i have asked the court and legal solicitors and both say you can have somone represent you providing you inform the court who you are and who you represent. I hope this helps :). julie

Hi, yes the letter says "The Defendent shall within 28 days of this order file and serve full details of the cost of each and every one of the charges levied"

 

Is this not the norm then? Should I give the court a call?

 

Thanks!!!

This is not the norm. I think this is a new one. This is the more reason Barclays would want to settle before court because they do not want to disclose their actual cost for dealing with every breach of contract.

 

Its a matter of time. They will surely pay up and they will not submit the details to the court. That is commercial confidentiality! as they put it.

 

You will get your money before the end of 28 days from the date of the order.

 

You may give them a nudge with a phone call. Some members have got results from this Barclays number: 02071164523. Get your claim number in hand when you call.

Wait for a few days to allow Barclays receive their own court correspondence.

 

Make sure you have read the court letter correctly to know your next course of action.

 

Is this a preliminary or full hearing? Read information around.

Hi Benny

Umm what I have received is titled as follows "Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing) says

 

"District Judge Tetlow has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track. The hearing of the claim will take place at 10am on the 31 July 2007 at Milton Keynes County Court and should take no longer than 1 hour 0 minutes. The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date"

 

Also says that several small claims are listed for 10.00 because many disputes are settled either before the hearing or very quickly on the day.

 

The orders attached state basically that each party needs to deliver to every other party and the court offices copies of all documents on which he needs to rely at the hearing.

 

No later than 14 days before the hearing

 

Original documents to be brought to the hearing.

 

Statements etc, etc, etc

 

OK should just take deep breath and not rush in like a bull in a china shop at this stage then....

 

Wait till end of next week???

Since 31st July is still far away, I will suggest that you allow some days or up to a week for the bank to receive its own letter from the court.

 

Prepare your bundle for court and defendant. Before you send off your own bundle to court and defendant, contact the defendant for settlement to free the court system. In your call or letter state your claim amount again and request settlement within 14 days.

 

They may then settle at that stage before sending your bundle.

Hi - thanks for the advice. The letter says "This matter be listed for further directions and preliminary hearing to consider further direction at Portsmouth Country Court....and should take no longer than 20 mins. If one party fails to attend the same without good reason, the Court may make a final order."

 

So, is this not the norm them - I'm a little bit worried if they have changed the process as I have always relied on other peoples experiences to get me through this. Do you think I should call the court and ask if this is an error or just sit tight?

 

Thanks!!!

Hi yogachick,

 

I got exactly the same letter yesterday. My court date and time is the same as yours at Milton Keynes County Court. Judge asked for my bundle to be with court no later than 14 days before court date as well even though I used new AQ.

Bank: Barclays

Amount Reclaimed: £1800

Amount they paid: £1800

The story:

followed the steps in the article, they offered £1000 we rejected and logged a claim online. They acknowledged and defended so we got a court date through for July. However the judge asked the defendent to supply a list of the charges being claimed and justification for these one month prior to the court date - what a clever man!!! So, here we are 1 week before Barclays had to submit this info and they settled!! Just in time for our holidays - hurrah!!!!
