    • 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.

Here we go then, hold on it's going to be a bumby ride!

Lloyds returned three DDs in march even though only one would have put me over my overdraft limit. the branch agreed to refund the charges, but didn't, causing me to go over my limit again and more DDs to be returned - total cost about £400. They refused to return the charges, even though the spiral was started by their error. I was having a whine to someone about it and they refered me to this site, so now, because they refused to reasonably refund £400 I am going to pursue them for the last 6 years worth, oh, if only they had been reasonable in the first place!!

 

I'll keep you posted, great site, it's good that someone (or some people!) are out there to help.

I have sent the DP letter as above but I do have the last three years statements. Going through those 3 years ago I was charged £20 for unpaid DDs, now it is £35, thats a 75% increase in charges (I think) I find it hard to believe that Lloyds costs have risen 75% in that time!!

If it was my business and my costs had increased 75% in 3 years I would be mighty concerned!

Got my statements through the other day, so have now sent my prelim letter (on 18th) so we await developments. Lloyds seems to be a harder nut to crack than some, but all will be revealed in the fullness of time!! To all those reading this forum I am following the step by step guide and using the library letters and, up to now, it has all been very easy and straightforward.

 

HSBC £3566 LBA sent 20.07.06.

Lloyds £1334.50 prelim latter sent 18.07.06.

MBNA £who knows! LBA Sent

well, Lloyds wrote back on the 3rd August saying sorry but tough. They said write to the banking ombudsman. personally I would rather p... in my breakfast cereal, and it would probably be as useful!

 

They just bounced another three payments, but processed one to themselves that appeared on my statement after the others and was bigger than all 3 put together. Bouncing that one would have left enough to pay the other three but of course that wouldn't have maximised their charges would it!!

 

so today my LBA goes

 

If anyone is any doubt as to whether to claim the interest, it is a lot of hassle after all for 8% then look at how much difference it has made to my claims, I was gobsmacked! Using the template in the library it is actually very easy and I would advise doing it initially for your scale of charges, even though you don't need interest calculations at that stage, as it saves re-entering the data later.

 

MBNA £999.00 + £708.15 interest @24% LBA sent 11.08.06.

Lloyds TSB £1409.50 + £194.03 interest @8% LBA sent 11.08.06.

HSBC £3602.50 + £727.88 interest @8% Moneyclaim completed 11.08.06.

lloyds are one of the tougher nuts to crack, but you will crack them, and the harder they make it, the more likely you are to have to issue proceeedings against them, which means you can then add interest and get even more money out of them!! Remember that each time they send you a letter trying to put you off, do not be distracted, it's a win win situation, you just have to be patient and stick the course.

follow the step by step guide on the forum, use the template letters, and you can't go wrong!

good luck, although luck has nothing to do with, just tenacity and perseverence

Lloyds seem to be playing the tough guy, I have had acknowledgement from their solicitor but nothing else as yet. their 28 days since registering on moneyclaim are now up, does this mean, as I suspect, that I can now issue a default on them through moneyclaim. Does anyone have any experience of how far they will push this? this is, I think, the final hurdle before it goes to court. has anyone else been down this road yet?

I'm geting a bit anxious now so any help is appreciated

Hi Moggy

If their 28 days are up then by all means file judgement against them. Unfortunately in many cases, my own included, they file there defence late and will just have the judgement set aside. **** are VERY busy now an have a policy of leaving it to the last minute, expect them to file defence by end of week then its A/Q time

The thing I don't really understand is that this seems to be a standard tactic by them, looking through this site. they push it as far as then can without ever intending to go to court. surely that makes them guilty of contempt and wasting court time? why does the court continue to allow them to do this?

 

answers on a postcard please!!

I think something has to happen quite soon regarding this, I would assume that the courts are getting fed up of these piles of litigation from customers piling up their desks, in the meantime you need to crack on I am afraid! Not fair - no! but happening - yes!

You need everything from the http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/33060-basic-court-bundle.html in the templates library, all correspondence between you and Lloyds, your statements or account information, a schedule, the McNamara interview (templates - soundfiles) and edit this to suit your claim and add it to your bundle too - GaryH v Lloyds TSB - WON !! UNCONDITIONALLY !!!!.

 

You need 3 copies of everything. File one at the court, serve one to Lloyds sols and keep one for yourself (this should include the originals).

 

Get this all off and then ring SC&M and ask where their documents are. They should then say that the settlement is in the post.
