A new solution for middlemen who need to pay their supplier before being paid by their client is being launched.
Funding the gap is a real headache for middlemen. They have few ways to leverage the payment from their client, the buyer, to pay their supplier, and often have to arrange expensive...
It depends exactly what is meant by a 'handle fee' !
Is this a fee from the escrow company for paying the money ?
Is this a fee from the seller's bank, to cover an incoming international payment ?
Both are possible.
If the first, then the seller should have been aware of this fee when they...
Not at all. You are wrong. Read the rest of this thread.
With the online Small Claims Court claim website, it was the work of less than ten minutes (not the hundreds of hours you suppose).
And I am still curious to see if it will enforce the law or not (it seems that it hopefully will, from...
I purchased the item with a full view to buy it.
It was only when I received the item in the post, that I found it was too large for me to use (the size was not described during the sale), and so I had to return it (at my expense on the return, but under the DSR NOT on the initial dispatch to...
Smiles.
Actually, I kept reading about retailers who were flouting the Distance Selling Regulations by not refunding the initial postage charge on returns, which is totally against the law.
When I was subject to such misconduct by a retailer, I wanted to see if it was possible to enforce the...
It was an experiment (which is obviously still on-going), to see how easy it is to claim low amounts of money which are legally owed.
The Small Claims Court claim can now be conducted on the internet, and I wanted to see if Justice is easily enforceable.
If you have a claim with a bank or...
Thanks, but if you read the thread, you will see the original claim was for £8.70, and the final Court Order after the filing fee was £33.70.
What is the name in the County Court for an application for them to appear before the court to explain why they can't make payment ?
What do I ask the...
I can't arbitrarily add interest or costs. It will take many years to get over £50 with interest.
The goods were returned under the DSR (Distance Selling Regulations) - that was the basis for the refund.
They were used goods, but the DSR applies to both used goods and new goods, so that I...
But this is where I started.
The firm you quote has a minimum County Court debt of £600.
And the legal minimum for Bailiffs seems to be £50.
So am I in a legal black hole ?
I know, it's crazy.
Worse, the original amount before the Court costs was only £8.70.
It only became £33 with the Court Costs.
Despite almost begging the seller not to take him to Court, the response I got at the time was:
'Hi,
As stated before, you are welcome to take me to court....'
I...
The eBay seller of the item uses eBay identity the247enigma, and looking at eBay this seller is a currently a very major eBay user.
And yet the seller will not honour the Court Order (on Green Resources Recycling (GRR) Ltd) to reimburse me.
Given their current eBay activity, they will have...
Thanks for the suggestion.
The original payment was made through PayPal (who were no help in obtaining the required refund [Distance Selling refunds are apparently not their problem, and are not covered by their protection - so much for PayPal being 'Safer']), so no bank details (only the...
I am writing in my personal capacity as an individual consumer.
I purchased some low cost goods from a UK company over a year ago (via eBay), and returned them under Distance Selling Legislation, but was not refunded.
I took out a Small Claims Court action, and eventually won the case and was...
