    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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 had a loan with CFO Lending/Capital Finance One.

 

I ended up paying a huge amount in charges. Has anyone successfully reclaimed charges from these guys.

 

They have sent me a statement of account so I know how much the charges I paid were. A summary of my account with them is below

 

 

Thank you for your email. Please find attached a statement of your account for your reference.

 

Having looked through your account I can confirm you first took out a loan with CFO Lending for the amount of £200.00 with interest of £78.00, making the total amount payable £278.00. You agreed to repay this amount back in full on 29th June 2012. At your request, on this date we collected the minimum of your interest payment and your loan was deferred. Making your interest payment did not reduce your outstanding balance but covered the cost of borrowing for a further month. Your loan was then due for repayment on the 31st July 2012.

 

On the 3rd July 2012 before your loan was due for repayment, you chose to refinance your loan for a further £400.00. This amount was added to your Principle loan amount of £200.00 and interest was calculated on the total. You agreed to pay the amount of £834.00 back in full on 31st July 2012. On this date we failed to receive payment as agreed and as per your contract your account fell into default and collections procedures were in place in an attempt to collect full amount of funds owed under this agreement.

 

As per your contract a £25.00 administration fee was applied to your account for falling into default. Added interest would then have been applied at a rate of 1.3% of your principal loan amount daily.

 

Through collections procedures we collected the amount of £234.00, as you had not requested for your account to be deferred, your account remained in default and continued to incurred added interest and charges as per your contract. On the 2nd August 2015, the business received a text message from you requesting to set up a deferral payment. You were advised that as the we had collected your administration fee payment along with a payment that matched your interest amount we will be happy to defer your loan until the 31st August 2012.

 

On the 31st August 2012 we again failed to receive payment as agreed and your account fell back into default and incurred added interest and charges as per your contract. As per your contract a £25.00 administration fee was applied to your account for falling into default. Added Interest was then applied at a rate of 1.3% of your principle loan amount for a maximum period of 90days.With all the added interest and charges applied to your account your outstanding balance was brought to £1410.40.

 

To date we have received payments totalling £1410.40 leaving a current outstanding balance of £0.00.

 

CFO Lending can confirm your account with the business is settled in full and closed.

 

Should you have any further queries regarding your account please do not hesitate to contact us.

Since they are unlawful penalty charges, you can SAR them if you dont have all the statements, and put in a claim for them at their interest rate. IF they refuse to allow the claim, then you take them to SCC.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

I have a statement of accounts from them with dates. I assume I will need to do some form of complaint letter and calculations.

 

They also took £15 off each of the loan amounts for faster payment

Hi madmatt101,

 

New to this!

 

How have you managed to get in contact with CFO? I am trying to write to them about my old loans but all e-mail addresses I have are no longer working... their websites are closed too, etc.

 

Any info you can provide regarding contacting them would be great.

 

Thanks

 

Luke

Hi DX

 

I have filled in the sheet and I think I must have done something wrong

 

It tells me that I am claiming for over £158million for interest on charges of £541

 

It would be nice to get that, however I cant quite see that being paid out, and going through the courts could be expensive ;)

To update all the readers of this thread.

I have sent a formal letter of complaint.

 

I noticed that there were no further interest charges on my account so I used the satint sheet.

 

I will see what they come back with and post up an update.

I know the £56 says default

But I don't think they are reclaimable

Just the £25 ones

 

So seems correct for £74?

Trying to get hold of this lot myself, ended up paying back almost 700 for a 358 loan and all the MT collect threat nonsense years ago claiming I still owe them. Is the one in this thread the best to use or the customerservices at cfolending one? Or are they both the same?

Just an update on my case, I asked CFO Lending to refund all interest and charges on all of my old loans due to irresponsible lending. They declined my claim so I took it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. They ruled in my favor and I received a refund of approx £740 (including £50 compensation).

 

I would't take any other lower offers offered directly by CFO, if you refer to the FOS, you will most likely be able to claim back all interest and charges. I had a strong case and supplied a copy of my credit report at the time of each loan... this showed I should not have been approved and the proper affordability checks were not carried out. Worth perusing.
