    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4
    • As long as we are clear . Do the reading and post your letter of claim in draft form as requested and we can go from there.    
    • Hold on @BankFodder, that was a bit harsh. I spoke with the EVRi complaints Facebook group to begin with, a user on that group told me to send a letter but didn't give any specifics. Here at CAG, I was looking more for specific help as I've never raised such a claim before, and wanted to be sure that my claim was correct, which is why I've researched information with the other groups too, to be sure; but you seem to have assumed that I've made some form of contact with the other groups, such that I find your comments and tone to be very unfair. And I do know a thing or two about forums, that forum users are unpaid volunteers, I happen to be a Tableau Ambassador, and so perform a very similar role helping others in an unpaid capacity

    • 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 received a reply today from the OFT re my complaint about being asked for payment for a debt I knew nothing about from Debt Managers on behalf of Aktiv Kapital. The letter says neither company has a consumer credit licence and my complaint has been put on file "for future reference". In other words, if they do apply for a licence, they have had their chips, so do send your complaints to the OFT.

 

WTF :eek:

Sorry, Babybear - I got that totally wrong!! I must have been dozy this morning! They DO have licences and the OFT are going to add my complaint to others - they are taking it seriously. So my message is always write to them even though they do not deal with individual complaints.

Recieved letter today 'headed' from Thames Credit, which is a trading name for Aktiv Kapital, which is a company in Norway, with a Uk Po Box address hmmmm :roll: The letter goes on to say

 

'i have been advised that Attiv Kapital Investment Ltd have bought the interest of Barclays Bank Plc in the debt i owe them under an agreement.'

 

I have never had anything to do with Barclays, :confused: so couldnt possibly owe them anything, its only a smallish amount compared to other peoples letters £77.84, but its money i dont owe.:evil:

 

I think i should approach Barclays and ask them and i am wondering if there are any suggestions to anyone i should/could tell......

i need help .... i bought a suite off reid furniture braehead scotland... fell on hard times and got late payment fees from first national over £220 worth.... had £466 to pay which was passed to AKTIV KAPITAL i thought was another depmnt first national... anyhow i was paying till i could not get MULTIMASTER insurance to claim for suite broken but hard to get thru... also for a spray that was supposed to protect the suite (31/7/2004) ok AKTIV KAPITAL took me to COURT the other day for £131.02 plus expenses... i paid £131.02 out of fear 5 weeks before court but still went as they were claiming £150 expenses for brining this action.. by law paying the £131.02 is an admission of the debt but i explained to the judge i did not know this but paid to buy me more time to see if i could claim late fees back from finance company as you can with ppi , credit cards and bank charges so the judge has put the case to PROOF this September.. i think first nat is linked to GE CAPITAL BANK therefore can i claim these charges back from AKTIV as they now own the debt as they say! Can anyone help please?

sorry agatha basically i bought a suite with protection spray and warranty added to cost meant i had to pay £1972 however due to bank charges from lloyds i struggled to make payments to First National who financed my purchase from REID furniture. I owed £466 when i found out AKTIV KAPITAL bought the debt but i thought it was another department of First National... anyhow i stopped paying and was taken to Court for £131.02 but paid that 5 weeks before going up in front of the judge lasat week. The judge was going to award them expenses as paying the £131.02 was an seen as an admission to owing the money but i persuaded the judge that it was not an admission on my part and that i was seeking information as to the legality of late payments made to First National of more than £220 and whether it would be AKTIV KAPITAL who should repay now that they have taken over the payments? Now i am wondering if AKTIV KAPITAL should send me a copy of the agreement and whether i should be asking for not only late payment fees but also £210 for the so called protective spraying of the suite and extended warranty service that i never received? Any help appreciated

You must ask for the details of the alleged debt then DEMAND a true copy of the original agreement. I did this after the case they dropped the claim for expenses as soon as i asked for a true copy of the alleged agreement! You can get further info from oft but if they cannot produce then they have no right to any payment!
