    • good idea take some pix and put them in a PDF read UPLOAD dx
    • 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.

Hi

 

I have spent the last hour or so, lookin through threads that people have started in regards to making a claim against their banks for the unlawfull charges that they have incured, many of them start with the same question, where do i start? to which the answer has been read the f.a.q, Here is my question, where in the f.a.q does it say wher to start? i have read all 7 posts in the f.a.q and none tell me where to begin, is this the correct f.a.q

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

 

 

Just for info i have my bank statements and have worked out that i have been charged £736 since december 2005.

 

a direct link to the f.a.q that i need would be greatly apreciated, or a pointer wher to go next.

 

 

thanks in advance.

 

David

Hi i decided to start my claim in a new thread. anyway, sent my prilimary request on the 12th june requesting that they refund my penalties totaling £736. recived a letter today(16th june) dated 14th june saying " we,re keen to deal with your concerns as quickly as posible. A customer relations manager will investigate the points you have raised and you will recive a reply shortly, but certainly no later than 4 weeks ".

 

So my question is which i think i already know the answer, do i wait just the 14 days and send another letter?

Yes, follow the step-by-step guide. If no settlement received after 14 days then move on to the next step (LBA).

Ok update, i recived a letter from halifax yesterday 17th june, usual blaggg "Thanks for your recent letter....... good will gesture..... £216..... Final settlement".

 

Obviously i am not going to accept this as final settlement.

 

So do i wait untill the 14 days are up? which will be 28th of june, or do i send them a reply stating i will accept this payment but not as final settlement and will still persue my claim for a refund of all chrages? Is there a letter i can modify for my own circumstances in the library for this purpose? Do i fill the "Acceptance form" in that they sent me?

 

Thanks in advance

This is what we wrote to them

 

Thankyou for your letter dated xxxxxxxxxxx

 

I respectfully decline you kind offer of xxxxxxx in full and final settlement of my complaint regarding bank charges I will of course unconditionally accept it as a partial payment of the charges and retain the right to persue the remainder through the courts if neccessary.If you wish to send me this partial payment then you can send me a cheque made payable to xxxxxxxxx etc

 

As for waiting until the 28th there is a divided oppinion here some say wait they could change their minds ....others say they have stated that its in full and final l settlement ..........you can move to the next stage ......its entirely up to you what you do ........we moved on once we knew it was their final offer

 

We didnt fill in the acceptance form as we emailed it to them....they did not reply so we moved to the next stage

:) Go on ... you know you want to click me :)

Update, i recived an offer of £650 as full and final settlement, only £80 away from what they owe me, im thinking i may accept the offer but am not happy with the other conditions imposed.

 

"I am prepared to increase my offer to £650 in full and final settlement of your complaint. I will reiterate that future valid charges will stand and reserve the right to close your account if you do not manage it correctly."

 

So if i accept this payment, am i giving up my right to make future claims?

 

Maybe i should just take it all the way, at the end of the day thats £80 of my money. Damm decisions, what do you guys think?
