Merchants Rentals Plc

Re: Merchants Rentals Plc

It gets stranger and stranger all the time with these companies. I was told by handepay that they are no way associated with merchant rentals and also vice versa with merchant rentals. I checked the tracking number of the letter I sent to merchant rentals and I have the signature of the person who signed for it but where it says printed name on the track and trace website it says "handy paye" obviously that is how the delivery driver as written it when asked for a name. Hmm thought they were not associated.

They must think they are very clever as it does get very confusing with them. I can only hope that other traders read this thread and realise there is a problem with their contracts - don't trust them. My initial cancellation letter was addressed to Handepay as my contract and all initial items received from them had Handepay plastered all over it. I was told the letter was never received as they are Merchant Rentals and my contract is with tem not Hanepay - They are in the same building and same address !!!

Re: Merchants Rentals Plc

Just updating to keep this thread going. I sent my letter to them over 7 days ago via recorded delivery and know it has been received but not heard anything back from them. Should I so anything else as the letter required them to respond in 7 days?

You could say you are willing to comply if they withdraw all current cases

Ok, what you need to do is to return the terminal as agreed and do it registered so it forces a signature and/or proof of delivery of some capacity. Then get the original wrong-agreement they sent and take a copy for your records (back-up) and send the original back to the woman who wrote to you, with the following main letter:

* edit the bold parts as appropriate

Dear Miss xxxxxx

Ref: xxxxxxxxxxx

I write with reference to your letter dated 26th March 2014 and note your comments.

As previously stated, I am happy to draw a line under this matter and can confirm that the terminal was posted on xx/xx/xxxx and the tracking reference is: xxxxxxxx. Attached to this cover letter is the original incorrect agreement you sent me, which now concludes our business.

As I have complied with my end of the deal I now expect the same and look forward to confirmation that this account is now closed in its entirety and that you will not attempt to hassle me in years to come.

Yours sincerely,

Re: Merchants Rentals Plc

Ok.. not sure if this is still an active thread or if this company is still using these unfair contracts

But FTR I went to court today today and they never turned up.. so the case was struck off. .

I'd recommend to anyone considering defending this.. to make sure the case is transferred to your local court as it costs them money to travel to make their case.

While I can't guarantee they will never travel.. I suspect the further you live from their Merseyside HQ and local court the less chance they have of travelling to present their case.

And IMO their actions are all about making more money. So simply doing this makes it as expensive as possible for them. I'd be happy to share my defence with anyone considering defending similar actions.
