    • Thanks very much Bank. I have topped and tailed my LOC and printed off a copy which I shall post tomorrow by First Class post at my local post office and also obtain a proof of postage. I'll also email them a copy. I've opened a MoneyClaim account, and shall now begin work on my draft Particulars of Claim which I shall post here for your thoughts. And I shan't be using the Moderation service.
    • Yes, it struck me this morning that I'd got it wrong    - no involvement of UKPPO in any previous Tesco thread    - there would have been an entrance sign to a Tesco car park    - CCTV isn't something associated with Tesco car parks. Presumably whoever runs the car park has put CCTV at the electric, and probably BB, areas, done absolutely nothing to stop abuse, and then rubs their hands in glee every time the CCTV catches a motorist out. You can pay £60 and this will go away. Or you can defy UKPPO and rely on their non-respect of POFA, consideration period, etc., should they be daft enough to do court later down the line.  We would support you all the way.
    • thats not the way to do it sorry. sorry so what is your problem? that vanquis paid the £560 or that they are now chasing it? how old is this debt? dx  
    • If you visited Qatar you could be detained at the border, if the debt has been notified.  If you are only in transit and do not seek to cross border into Qatar you might be ok, but you may want to seek formal advice about this.
    • Howdy, I had a short lived credit card with Vanquis that I did not need. I paid it off in full and called them and closed it with the person at the other end. 2 months later they started sending me messages about late payments, I called them and to find out that the card had not been closed in error and 6 weeks after it should have been closed they paid a google debit of £560. I hit the roof and made a formal complaint that took them well over a month to respond to. They agreed they were at fault, refunded all late payments fees and offered me £100 in compensation. However they said the debit amount stood as 'I had benefit from it' and I should get a refund from google. I hit the roof again but they have stuck to their guns. The debit from google is a genuine one but I wanted to dispute it with google so closed the card so they would have to engage with me. But surely that's neither here nor there surely? What is the next step? Ombudsman takes forever doesn't it?  thanks in advance

    • 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 All... First off apologies if I am asking something that has been answered elsewhere... Truth is I'm in a massive hole and trying to find anyway out (not just with welcome lol)

 

Long story short... Took at a 3rd charge loan with welcome about 12 years ago...it was a struggle from the off... About 3 years in welcome offered us the chance to resign to extend the length of the loan and reduce the payments which we did... Split up with the wife who remained in the home about 6 years ago. For the past 5 years no payment have been made to welcome. Current balance is about £29k.

 

My initial question is that they have never really chased for the monthly payments....the only contact we have from them is a yearly statement and that's it. The debt doesn't appear on my credit file however there is a charge at land registry...does anyone know why this might be the case that they are not chasing us for such a long period of time?

 

House in massive neg eq so am desperate for any ways out

 

Thanks all :)

Yeah will have to get the papers I suppose.

..was just reluctant to contact them in the first place for paperwork as am not hearing from them.

..have looked through the forums just think its unusual not to have heard from them for years for such a big amount I guess

Welcome will have added a ton of charges and fee's to it. All of which you cna reclaim. Get the SAR off, and forget about VR until you have the facts in front of you.

 

And its not unusual to not have heard of them if they know very well they have messed up.

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..

Sure well that's what I'm hoping....although not sure how much the fees would be...I mean this is a morally dubious question but is getting out of the whole loan an actual possibility does anyone know?

Thats why you need that SAR :)

 

 

We dont condone debt avoidance so cant comment on it,.

but with welcome, the reclaim + interest could be in the thousands.

If the charge was comprised mostly of fee's then you could theoretically get it removed.

very. Get that sar off asap. Youre likely looking at reclaiming thousands, and a possibility of getting that charge gone.

I'll get it done then...I know its on other threads etc but its patchy and am not familiar with all this...what would they have to have done to mean the debt is unenforceable...or at least shouldn't be charged against the house? Sorry for the noon questions I'm sure :(

TBH I don't think theres any real possibility the charge will be removed

its not a charge as a result of a court CCJ

its one that was placed there upon loan sale as it was a secured loan.

 

 

funny thing is

welcome about 2yrs ago removed 99'9% of all their outstanding secured loan charges when they signed the waiver..

 

 

never mind

it'll all come out in the wash

The SAR will give you the facts surrounding the debt. The fact youre asking questions shows you NEED the response to that SAR.

I can't remember of the top of my head but pretty sure its still either welcome or progressive on LR..

.But like I said not a peep from them in years apart from an annual statement.

 

 

.just can't figure it out really..

.am a bit worried about the sar with it flagging up my account to them..

.but having said that they are the third in line against the house.

..and its in neg eq by about 20k..

plus I can't afford any monthly payments anyway so not sure what they could do anyway..

 

 

. I'm hoping there has been some sort of historic cock up on my paperwork anyway

and that's why its not been sold on

or why I haven't heard from them in years

...I mean its 30k I'd be chasing it lol

well no as I've said the charge is there so they've the money ..even if eventually.

they cant force a sale

and they'll not bother with a CCJ as it achieves nothing for them.

 

 

I bet you its progressive on your LR file.

A sar it is then. Thanks for all the advice. What is it I'm looking for when the paperwork arrives in particular?

 

We wont know until you read the sar. But i'd be looking at the refinancing plus all charges etc and interest accrued on them as a start
