Just a thought, for a bit of sport, has anyone tried sending an invoice to a PPC for the time taken to read and respond to any letters they may send?

Maybe you could enclose your T&C's - £90 for every letter received and read, £150 for every letter sent...

sub... good luck!

We make that forum exciting by causing mischief (or i do anyway ) - the rest of the time its just dull & lifeless.

Mr Bidwell tries to act all controversial, but just comes across as a buffoon

I dont know about anyone else, but i really am getting fed up with these consumer advice web sites which tell people how to evade paying their debts effectivley.

My company has had so many letters recently informing us of what we can & cannot do.

Everything from...not being able to visit debtors homes without prior permission to having to provide credit agreements etc..

What can be done about these websites?

They are costing us too much money/profit & i know they are having an effect on other debt collection companies as well.

They didnt! lol Its exactly the same as the one at the beginning of this thread.

write back and ask them why they are sending you alf's t&c's!!

the £200 will prob include transfer to "short term cover" - much higher premiums. should be a £35 cancellation fee.

The "Driving other Cars" ( DoC ) extension applicable to certain insurance policies will allow the policyholder to drive a vehicle not owned/hired to them for Third Party Risks only (TPO). It is really designed for "emergency" use only to legally drive another vehicle.

I'm not sure legally where you would stand especially driving a foreign registered vehicle in a foreign country under a UK policy extension. I certainly would not recommend this. Perhaps an Underwriter or legal expert can comment - I'm a broker in the commercial world where DoC does not apply to fleets so am a bit rusty on personal lines underwriting.

 

There are a few threads on this subject where others have commented so worth looking at them.

 

Again, if in doubt, ask your insurer - You may not get an immediate answer though as it is a specific technical underwriting issue which may need to be referred.

 

It is a good question though which I will put to some of my colleagues in the underwriting world - I bet they won't even have an answer - and we're talking ACII qualified brains !!!

thanks for info. underwriter doesn't seem to know much i'm afraid - i always get a call back tomorrow, we'll have an answer!!

cheers Trojan...I've got the breakdown sorted - found a great value online service through insureandgo.

another query:

my policy insures me to drive any other car on a 3rd party basis. There is no stipulation that this has to be in UK. Do you think I am correct in assuming I have minimum cover driving another car in France?

cheers

i've scoured the small print and can't find anything! good idea to contact them thought thanks.

EGG always pay up.

 

You may wish to send the S.A.R letter and start to reclaim your charges.

 

Jogs

I've just calc'd from old statements that there is £80 in charges... there's always the option to reclaim these, but to be fair I suppose they would just reduce the alledged outstanding balance...

debt is 3-4 years old...

Evening all,

I'm taking my car to France for 2 weeks soon and whilst I, as policy holder, am insured fully comp, it doesn't mention anything about other named drivers on the policy.

Quote from policy docs:

"Cover also includes 60 days comprehensive cover within the EU."

Has anyone any knowledge/experience if named drivers are generally included in EU cover, or indeed, if they are not?

Cheers

ok above letter sent today... i'll let you know when/if I receive a reply...

my wages are 14,500 approx per annum, and because my company backdated a bonus which should have been applied in september, they backdated it only 3 months, and paid this into my first tax years wage, including the 2 bank holidays i had to work as my shift are flexi, making my wages in april well above my average wage, and even if i continue to get my average wage, i will now have earnt over 15,000 this year, so they are taking 9% of my wages due to my HR department being slackers!

the 9% isn't retro to nil - you only pay 9% on anything above £15k, so even if you hit £16k, you would only pay £90 for the year...

linz - did you ever get to a resolution on this? my egg "agreement" follows the same template...

crikey that's a long one... but i like it! thanks for that drob.

just for clarity, which page are you contending is just T&C's - the first page? I think i may omit the "current" from your first paragraph of the letter body as it is dated in 2002??

What they have sent you is not a true & executed copy of a CCA

 

I

tbh i'm not 100% the 2nd page relates to the 1st page! there certainly appears to be something missing after the 1st page...

can you elaborate on why it's not a true & executed copy? Need to send a written response maintaining that i do not recognise the debt...

cheers

it is strange i admit...

ok here's the agreement - 2 separate pages. What do people think?

yes DLC were involved before ARC and they couldn't find the CCA then a year later ARC called me out of the blue... just in the process of upping the "credit agreement"...

over a year ago! just received this week. obviously i only have 10 days to respond....

write back to them asking what the debt is for? better than telephoning as provides a full audit trail of correspondence should it ever be needed...

Having sent DLC a cca request for an egg agreement, the issue was passed to ARC (Europe) Ltd who have now come up with (what looks like) a credit agreement.

When I've scanned it in I'll post on here.

In the meantime, assuming it is an enforceable agreement, is there a possible argument if:

- i didn't receive a default notice?

- i didn't receive a notice of assignment to either DLC or Arc??

Hi all,

Monday this week, I applied for finance with a company and was accepted but have since changed my mind.

The situation is rather unique however:

- the company couldn't get the paperwork sorted in time for me to sign, the agreement was £300 per month.

- The only paperwork they could rustle up in time (the company closed at 6pm) was a CCA agreement detailing payment of £40 per month - I assume there was going to be another CCA agreement for me to sign for the difference...

Anyway I haven't yet signed this additional agreement so can I cancel the £40 per month agreement under the cooling off period?

blimey well this is an anti-climax...3 hours reading the 22 pages and no conclusion! no test case!

is the general consensus that a s10/s12 to the bank is the best route for just one default removal?

hey, slightly resurrecting an old topic here but has this default remained absent from your credit report?

section 61 maybe?

hi... did you send this as appear to be in the same boat with HFC (illegible "agreement")?
