star rage......I agree with you about the debt is a debt bit.....but im having great difficulty seeing this as a debt......I feel like I have been stolen from here......when I joined this site.....this premium rubbish was never even mentioned......losing all my life and when I go on a bit of a run.....they want to charge me some sort of winners tax.....

understand pw but unless you can try and plea bargain a reduction it is still a legally enforceable debt and it's probably best just to take it on the chin and then rethink whether you want to stay with Betfair or move elsewhere. Maybe a chat with them can bring some sort of compromise. If you close your account you then have the worry of getting a bad credit rating which can be a lot worse than paying the money. Hope you get it sorted anyay

star rage.....it has nothing to do with a credit rating.......they don't give credit....nor have I looked for it even if it was available......they have in fact taken my money without my consent......id say that is a lot worse than any low credit rating issue.....
|
|
By:
no, i meant that if you don't pay they can then get a black mark against your credit rating, which can affect things like getting a loan, credit card, mortgage etc

To the op.
The exchange is a listed Identify and a public company regulated by law .As you have agreed to their terms you are liable to pay. Failing to pay will result in bf seeking a judgement which will be granted.Then that is passed to the sheriff who employs bailiffs. After that it remains on the record as to whether to peruse bankruptcy if the assets seized did not cover the original amount plus the cost of court proceedings and the bailiffs charges . Your situation is A. have you any assets and if so are they worth more than the debt.B can you use another identity to be able to carry out your day to day stuff. |

it is still a legally enforceable debt
Is it? I'm not arguing as I'm no legal eagle but has it been tested and what would it be classed as being for exactly - what does one get in return for paying it? What i mean is, is it a subscription fee, a membership fee, a legally enforceable tax - i.e what do you get for your money that incurs a debt - 'It's a fee on being a successful gambler m'lud' sounds odd to me! It's not a set amount each week and I'm not sure how easy it is to work out - all I'm saying is that if it hasn't already been tested and i got walloped and could afford the legal fees I'd be tempted to see what my chances were! Feel free to put me right anyone! |

I had a winning bet with them last week and am having a b1tch of a time getting paid out on it.
During the week I asked for a copy of their complaints policy but still haven't received it, even though 'it's the law' that they must have one and make it available to customers. When it suits them, Betfair are hard enough to deal with. They are making me jump through hoops to get paid. If I were in your position, I'd happily make them do the same. |
|
By:
The lifetime premium charge was introduced retrospectively, thus giving customers who had been with Betfair for years no warning that they would soon be liable to pay it.
If they had drawn a line in the sand and said if you win 250k from the introduction of the charge you would be liable that is fair enough. But to back date a surcharge, now I'm not sure whether that is legal. Its certainly immoral. Perhaps someone might make a legal challenge and see if Betfair can justify their dubious legal position in court? |

How exactly can BF legally enforce the PC? If you take on a mortgage or credit card, the bank has to go to great lengths to make sure you're fully aware of your commitments. And the charges and payments need to be clearly explained. The interest rate might change, but otherwise, you should know exactly where you are with regards to making payments.
With BF, on the other hand, there's absolutely no clarity with regards to PC. At some point, they decide you ought to be charged a certain amount. Now, I don't see how that can amount to a debt that they can then legally enforce. (And the retrospective PC payments, where you're expected to surrender half of all your winnings once you reach 250K most definitely aren't enforceable.) The PC is really a fee for continuing to bet with BF. They're within their rights to withhold the BF service from you if you don't pay up, so if you want to stick with BF, you have to put up with it. However, I wouldn't be sure they can enforce the PC, if you're prepared to walk away. |

PC was introduced a long time ago.
Nobody (apart from BF) like it. If you owe you should not even ask the question. A man without honour is not a man,imo. |
