    • 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 have 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.

  • 3 weeks later...

Will confess at this point to not keeping to my own advice above :o I kind of lost the faith when various people told me I'd never win now, and what with my recent birthday, impending holiday, and other bits of life, just lost the plot really. My b/f has just given me a kick though and told me to sort myself out :o

 

A few weeks ago I was sure about my next step. Now I'm a little nervous about getting it wrong.

 

Do I use the new PoC from the sticky above?! The format looks a bit different from the one I drafted. Does it all fit on the form? And if not am I allowed to type more?

 

I received one of the standard letters from Barclays at the end of July. Does this have any impact at all?

 

One heartening factor... from another post I've read tonight, it seems that Nottingham are adopting a business as usual approach.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Nicky

 

Everyone should now be using the new POC from now on. It is a lot longer and if you have downloaded the .pdf N1, you can increase the length of the N1 by adding pages - I added two more to the body to accommodate the new Particulars version.

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

 

 

3 Wins :

Barclays t/a The Woolwich (Data Protection Act breach costs & compliance)

HSBC (on behalf of brother)

Settled Out of Court - £3,874.76

Alliance & Leicester (on behalf of friend)

Settled Out of Court - £723.41

Hi Nicky

 

Cant help with the new POC's as already submitted mine long time ago. But dont get disheartened, I know it all feels pretty uphill at times. I felt a tremendous feeling of relief when I finally delivered my court bundle, even tho this was 2 days after the news about the OFT test case. I'm remaining optimistic that the banks will lose and we'll still get whats due to us - remember there's alot of consumer pressure out there, AND WE'RE STILL PART OF IT!! Have faith and keep smiling:)

Hi all,

 

I got a series of letters last year and early this year from Barclays keeping me updated on the (lack of) progress with my claim. Recently it's all gone quiet though.

 

I've had a look on here but can't seem to see a general update (sorry if I'm being blind) What's the current state of play if you're not a hardship case?

 

Thanks,

Just read this thread...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/oft-test-case-updates/139971-oft-abbey-others-april.html

 

If you have not yet put in a claim but have written your preliminary letter do continue to make a claim so that you can claim your interest. If you wait until the outcome of the final decision it is unlikely that you will be able to file a claim as assuming the court rules in the consumer's favour the banks are likely to pay out on receiving complaint without waiting for you to file a court claim. In which case you will lose out on the valuable interest.

 

Does this mean i should still submit court bundle?? I'd understood before that this wasn't worth doing til the decision. I got mine all ready to go but then sat on it waiting. Did i do the wrong thing??

 

Cheers, nickyc

Hi Nicky,

 

Having read back through your thread, it looks like you didn't get to File your claim at court on the N1.

 

You should file your claim at court anyway to:-

 

1. Avoid losing out on older charges which may fall beyond 6 years when the OFT case is resolved.

 

2. Ensure you are earning s.69 Statutory Interest while the claim is Stayed.

 

Update your SOC and File the N1 at your local court.

 

Does this mean i should still submit court bundle??
This has nothing to do with a Court Bundle, which is the bundle of evidence which you wil rely on to prove your case in court in due course.

We could do with some help from you
