This is the agreement I quote somehow exactly because I want to 100% sure of what I am understanding:
KEY FINANTIAL INFO
Amount & purpose of loan: £7500
Term: 60 Months
Total amount payable: £9,345
Installment repayment: Repayments due monthly intervals from the date the loan was
drawn but where you elected…… the repayment are follows:
60 repayments of £mount.
Annual percentage: 9.4% has this got fixed or variable written after it?
OTHER FINANTIAL INFORMATION
Total Charges: £1.845 Is there a Breakdown of these charges in terms of their 'constituent elements ? Does it include an arrangement or administrative or even a brokers' fee.Have they stated that a commission was paid to a broker for arranging this loan if this is the case.Is there a provision on the agreement for you to CHOOSE to purchase PPI,Is it TRULY OPTIONAL on a PROPER CONSTRUCTION of the agreement? IF NOT THEN YOU MAY HAVE BEEN MIS-SOLD THE POLICY AND THE WAY TO GO IS UNFAIR PRACTICE.LOOK INTO YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES AT TIME YOU TOOK OUT PPI.WAS IT THE SITUATION THAT YOU COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PAID OUT ON THAT POLICY IF AND WHEN THE TIME AROSE IN THE FUTURE.IF SO IT IS AGAIN PROBABLE THAT IT WAS A USELESS POLICY.AND IF YOUR LOAN WAS CONDITIONAL UPON IT THEN THAT MAY BE WRITTEN OFF TOO.ALSO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE POLICY IS OPTIONAL( in the sense that you have taken it out with a different provider) IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL CHARGE FOR CREDIT AS IT DOES NOT COME UNDER THE MAIN AGREEMENT. IT SHOULD NOT THEREFORE BE INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL CHARGE FOR CREDIT as it is NOT an ELEMENT OF THE COST OF THE LOAN but a separate premium.
Annual rate of interest: The amount of interest payable is calculated of the beginning of
agreement is equivalent to a fixed rate of 9.02% over the term
KEY INFORMATION
Charges on default: (Explained)
Right to Settle early: (Explained)
NB No signature THIS IS IRRELEVANT/DOES NOT MATTER ON YOUR OWN COPY

N.B HAVE THEY STATED THAT THE APR ASSUMES NO VARIATION.IF NOT THEN IT SHOULD BE VARIABLE AND STATED TO BE SO.

DOES THE AGREEMENT HAVE YOUR NAME<ADDRESS<POSTAL ADDRESS.DOES IT ALSO HAVE THEIRS AS WELL?

If at the time of the agreement this was your COPY for your own keep...then there needs to be NO signature..ONLY on the one you SENT BACK to them...this would satisfy the requirement in s61(1)...IF there is NO signature ALSO on the one you sent back...THEN it has not been properly executed according to s61(1) and can only be enforced through Courts by courtesy of section 65.

The powers of the court are contained in s127

IF your agreement was made AFTER the repeal of s127(3) then unless there has been no prejudice to you even IF there are prescribed terms missing it may still be enforceable under 127(1)...This is because the Court's now have a DISCRETION to enforce whereas before they were BOUND not to.

Agreements made before the repeal and in which there ''is a sum that is or may or will become payable'' before and at the time and after the repeal will still be able to call upon the protection under s127(3)

Your agreement will be regulated by both Consumer Credit Agreement Regulations 1983 SI 1553 AND Consumer Credit Agreements (Amendments) Regulations 2004 And Consumer Credit( Notices of Cancellation and Copies of Documents) Regulations 1983
in relation to FORM AND CONTENT of Agreements. These regulations tell you what MUST be included in the agreements AND what information can be omitted under the powers given to Secretary of State under s180 Consumer Credit Act 1974.

Look up into your message I have highlighted ''WHAT YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR''

LOOK FIRSTLY TO CCA 1974.

AS YOURS IS A RELATIVELY RECENT AGREEMENT THE LEGAL DRAUGHTSMEN SHALL HAVE LEARNT BY NOW FROM THEIR PREVIOUS MISTAKES.DO NOT BE SURPRISED THAT YOUR AGREEMENT IS FIT FOR PURPOSE.

THE OLDER THE AGREEMENT THE MORE LATITUDE EXISTS FOR NON-COMPLIANT COPIES.

Could you possibly move my response to Nat West Forum in order that Msafari can benefit from it.I only just realised AFTER posting my response that you had in fact moved him to other thread otherwise s/he will not see my advice..ONLY IF THAT IS NECESSARY.

many thanks

Does it include an arrangement or administrative or even a brokers' fee. No arrangements or broker fees which am aware of. Have they stated that a commission was paid to a broker for arranging this loan if this is the case. No statement about fees paid to the brokers. Is there a provision on the agreement for you to CHOOSE to purchase PPI,Is it TRULY OPTIONAL on a PROPER CONSTRUCTION of the agreement? The PPI: I was just told it’s compulsory to take otherwise I will not be given the loan. The loan advisor told me that I can take it and drop it after one month. IF NOT THEN YOU MAY HAVE BEEN MIS-SOLD THE POLICY AND THE WAY TO GO IS Unfair practice.LOOK INTO YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES AT TIME YOU TOOK OUT PPI.WAS IT THE SITUATION THAT YOU COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PAID OUT ON THAT POLICY IF AND WHEN THE TIME AROSE IN THE FUTURE. My circumstance that time I was doing agency works with no future to have permanent post but they cook it up so that the loan will be easily accepted. IF SO IT IS AGAIN PROBABLE THAT IT WAS A USELESS POLICY.AND IF YOUR LOAN WAS CONDITIONAL UPON IT THEN THAT MAY BE WRITTEN OFF TOO.ALSO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE POLICY IS OPTIONAL( in the sense that you have taken it out with a different provider) IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL CHARGE FOR CREDIT AS IT DOES NOT COME UNDER THE MAIN AGREEMENT. IT SHOULD NOT THEREFORE BE INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL CHARGE FOR CREDIT as it is NOT an ELEMENT OF THE COST OF THE LOAN but a separate premium.

Does your APR have fixed or variable written after it?-If not then these are prescribed terms that are missing from the agreement.

Find the EXACT date of your agreement.
yOU SHOULD BRING YOU COMPLAINT UNDER s140a CCA 1974 INSERTED BY s19 cca 2006 unfair relationship.

yOU SAID THAT YOU WERE NOT ENTITLED TO THE LOAN unless YOU ALSO TOOK OUT THE INSURANCE POLICY FROM THEM.

yOU HAD NO FREEDOM TO CHOOSE AND IF YOU ALLEGE THIS THE burden IS ON THEM To prove they did not do this.

iF YOU GO THIS ROUTE YOU WILL HAVE more chance of rescinding your contractual obligations AND write off THE REMAING DEBIT BALANCE.

iF YOU GO DOWN THE PRESCRIBED TERM ROUTE you WILL NEED TO SHOW THAT YOU SUFFERED PREJUDICE...BECAUSE IT APPEARS YOUR AGREEMENT WAS MADE AFTER REPEAL OF S127(3).

My ADVICE IS TO WRITE A LETTER UNDER S140A CCA 1974 and in your own words put in that letter what u c up there in red...but check your agreement again!!!

So do you think is still worth it sending them a post order and see their reaction?

No Msafiri

I think you misunderstand me.I did not say that you OFFER them £1.00 a month minimum payment (heee! heee!) every month.I am not talking about payment arrangements.

I said put in a section 77 consumer credit act 1974 request for a copy of the agreement.Let them send a copy and we see if that copy matches copy you already have.This is a totally different thing.It has been 2 yrs since the agreement was made it would be interesting to see if the copy they send you matches your copy that you have in your possession.

Then we take it from there. READ s77 you will understand what I mean.We may be able to temporarily suspend activity on your account giving us time for your next move.It appears as you have nothing to lose now as they are probably already reporting you to CRA.

Take your personal details out of your copy agreement and post the agreement up on this thread.I will be better able to look at the terms and can advise you more accurately.BUT leave your name/address/account details off.

use this link it's easy

www.photobucket.com

Scan the agreement into your computer then edit your personal details then upload image from your computer edit it before you upload it to this thread.You may need to register before you can use it but it is simple and FREE.

I have looked at your agreement?

If that is the ONLY page then WHERE is THE NOTICE OF CANCELLATION....

It should begin with something like 'YOUR RIGHTS TO CANCEL' and then tell you what and how and who to take the written notice of cancellation to???

Also if they told you to take out the insurance where is that Information on the page .

I am gonna check to see whether your agreement after APR 9.4% must state fixed or variable.Get back on Sunday.

I need to know the circumstances of how you got interested in this loan and where you signed the unexecuted agreement for example at home ,on trade premises etc... and what sort of discussions you had and with who and how did you learn of this loan.I need to ascertain whether this is in fact a cancellable agreement OR not.
