    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi,

I wrote to HSBC bank informing them that I had been miss-sold PPI on a personal loan.

I stated my reasons.

 

1. I am self employed partner in a business, so if I am off sick the business still keeps going so technicaly I do not loose money so a claim could not be made.

 

2. I have pre-existing medical conditions which I was not asked about when the PPI was sold. Also the person selling the loan and PPI knew I was registered as disabled but never questioned my condition. So I could NOT make a claim if I became ill or had a flare up.

 

3. I was led to believe that I had to take this PPI out or I would not get a loan.

 

I think there were a coupe of other reasons but I can not remember them now.

 

I had a bad year last year and could not repay my loan which had been running for 4 years so I defaulted. I visited my local branch and was told they could not do anything for me and I had to phone a number to talk about it.

I did this and got treated like a criminal. I offered reduced payments but they would not have them. Next Metropolitan collections threatened me, again ignored my letters to them offering reduced payments. Now a firm called DG Solicitors.

 

Now I have had a letter from HSBC offering me £2,532.21.

I nearly said "WHOOPEE", then I read the terms they are trying to impose.

They say they make the offer without prejudice and accept no blame etc, etc. Then it says I have to sign a form agreeing to them paying the money over to the DCA to be taken off of my outstanding balance. I have 6 weeks to resond.

I wrote them a letter back the same day. I stated that I did not wish them to pay the full amount to the DCA on the grounds that this refund was for a miss-sold PPI. The money they offer is the repayment of 4 years worth of PPI premiums + interest at 8%

This refund is NOT the refund of the original loan amount.

Hope that makes sense.

 

I told them that I would agree to them paying 60% towards my outstanding loan and the other 40% to be sent to me via cheque.

 

It is now at least a month and they have failed to respond in any way.

 

Today I had another threatening letter from DG Solicitors. I wrote straight back to them with a copy of the offer and all other correspondence and told them that I am prepared to make monthly payment only once the refund has been made as this will alter the balance considerably.

I also found an email address for HSBC Complaints compliance officer, who signed the offer to me, so I emailed her a letter informing her that she had failed to respond to my request and I was giving her 7 days in which to respond.

 

What should I do next?????

 

Any advice most welcome.

Hi

 

Since the DCA is now the proud owner of that debt, HSBC is obligated to ensure that the DCA is not prejudiced by the fact that the debt they bought is having its balance reduced by a simple goodwill gesture, and HSBC are legally bound to make that refund to the DCA.

 

I know its not what you want to hear but i think you will be banging your head against the wall with this one.

WARNING TO ALL

Please be aware of acting on advice given by PM .Anyone can make mistakes and if advice is given on the main forum people can see it to correct it ,if given privately then no one can see it to correct it. Please also be aware of giving your personal details to strangers

But is th DCA the proud owner of the debt?? It is no longer with Metropolitan collections but with DG Solicitors apparently acting on behalf of HSBC.

I have nothing in writing to state that they own the debt. In fact HSBC are now and have been charging me bank charges every month for a failed direct debit to themselves. That is another debt which they are now creating and if the debt is no longer with them, what are they playing at???

Sorry if this sounds confusing, but it is confusing me :)

Just another query,

My understanding is that if they sold off the debt to the DCA them they are legally bound to pay the refund to me as they never took the premiums from the DCA.

The repayment they are offering to me is the actual paid premiums plus interest. It is not just a gesture of goodwill.

urm...

have your received a default notice from HSBC & a letter informing you they had sold the debt & have you had a letter from the DCA called notice of assignment?

 

if not the DCA are only collecting.

 

HSBC can take ARREARS only from the refund, not set-off the whole amount if this is thae case.

 

my take on it

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thanks for that,

I am now wondering about the arrears. The sum the dca is trying to get from me is the total outstanding amount. This figure I believe to be the total left to pay on the loan including PPI + Interest.

Hope you can understand what I am saying.

The offer was for PPI + interest up till 19/06/2009. So the outstanding balance includes another 9 months of PPI + interest. which calculates at £35.59 per month x 9 = £320.31p + interest. So surely that should now be deducted from the balance.

 

Can you see what I mean ?

 

If I am right does this mean yet another letter to HSBC and DCA to get the balance put right?

Hi DX,

Sorry no longer got it, we have moved house since then and I have not got a clue where it is. I have already gone through every thing.

I did try to get a copy from bank last year but they were no helpful.

I can find the total balance left outstanding on letters but nothing else.

I will send you that in a private message if that will help. I know what the repayments were as well, but these included PPI premiums + interest.

 

Will send you a private message now.

having played with your est figures, and not really getting any concrete 'link' between what theyhave refunded and my figures.

 

i would say that you need to write back to hsbc refusing the offer, asking the A/C be put on hold until they fwd you a copy of the agreement

either

as an CCA request

or even better

an SAR.

 

i would also request they give a detailed breakdown of how they calculated it.

 

pers i'd go for the sar [look in the stickies up the top for the PPI version of the full SAR request]

that way you will get everything they hold on you and it might reveal more than you expect.

 

pers i think it foolhardy to accept any refund without the full facts esp the agreement.

 

they must have it because they have calculated the refund.

 

and you are legally entitled to it

Hi dx,

 

Thank you. I will sort a letter to them over the weekend. I am not too sure where to send it to though as the letters are coming from different address's and not my local branch.

I shall send it to the address I have in Bristol where the offer came from.

 

Once again thank you your help is very much appreciated.

 

Have a nice Easter.

It is my figure. I divided what they say I have paid in premiums by the total amount of months they say the premium was paid for.

Got letter back telling me that no way are they going to pay anything to me personally. They say they have the right as I broke the terms of the loan and they say they have a legal right to demand full payment straight away of the outstanding sum and can therefore pay all the refund to the dca.

been playing with this:

Loan Repayment Calculators – Free APR & Loan Repayment Calculators

 

cant make things work for the figures we have........

 

a payment of £210 for 60mts = 12,600

 

35.59 x 60 = 2135

 

12600 - 2135 = 10464.60

 

using the site

 

7400 apr 7.9 over 60mts = 10447.60

repayment of 148.73

 

210-148.73= 61.27

 

for the ppi figure then on the site: that makes no sense at all.

 

we need that agreement.
