    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 am looking for some advice/opinions...

 

In January 2011 I purchased a car with finance provided by creation.

The price of the car was £2995, I paid a cash deposit of £800.

I was made aware of charges/fees totalling £450 (ish), which would be added to the finance agreement.

 

All was going fine until around 6 months ago, when a change of bank account led me to registering for online account management (so that I could arrange continuing payments).

 

The amount outstanding didn't appear to be correct so I contacted the company and requested all of the relevant figures.

It turned out that the set-up/admin fees had been added twice,

the representative I spoke to said that the dealer was wrong to add these fees at the point of sale as they are always added afterwards.

 

A rather in-depth conversation led to me being informed that creation don't actually hold any physical paperwork, and that they would be unable to amend the loan amount without notification from the dealer.

 

After some detective work I managed to locate the dealer

(who had now leased his forecourt to someone else, but I found him in the end!).

 

I explained the situation, and asked for a copy of our original sales document.

A week of telephone calls and me harrassing him brought no joy.

 

He told me that all of his paperwork was in storage and that he'd been unable to locate the document.

Well, of course he couldn't find it

- it would prove that he had actually received £450 more than he should have from creation, which they would obviously want back!

For me, the actual cost of the £450 would be much greater due to the associated interest.

 

Fortunately,

I did find my copy of the sales document, and emailed creation again,

informing them that I had a physical, SIGNED document showing the correct amount.

 

I explained that I would be happy to send them a COPY, not the original

- this was all the proof I had, it wasn't going to be lost in the post!

They did not reply.

 

On to the more pressing concern now...

during all of this I noticed that creation had the wrong registration number for the vehicle.

 

I informed them of this, without giving them the correct number.

Again, they were unable to amend the details without verification from the dealer.

 

I sent a final email informing them that this needed to be corrected (as did the loan amount) as I was hoping to sell the vehicle, with their permission of course.

 

I was hoping that this would set alarm bells ringing for them

- the vehicle did technically belong to them.

No joy.

 

after a couple more months,

it became apparent that the car was going to need a lot of money spent on it

- which I didn't have.

 

I did a hpi check and, surprise, it showed no outstanding finance.

So I traded it for another car at a local dealership.

 

I now find myself in no position to continue with repayments

- I am just setting up a debt managemnt plan,

and have just been visited by bailiffs

and had to agree a repayment plan with them

(which I can't afford, but will have to find if I want to keep my possessions obviously!).

 

I am in this position through my own actions

- I was earning a good salary until a year ago but had to give up the job.

This really is no-one's fault but my own.

 

My question is this - what can creation do to me?

I no longer have the car so they can't repossess it.

 

Actually, I NEVER had the car with the registration number they hold,

although the make and model are correct.

 

I am willing to come to some arrangement with them if they will accept a much reduced payment,

my concern is that they won't accept it and I have sold a car which didn't belong to me

. But then, it didn't belong to them either maybe?

 

I know I shouldn't have sold the car, but in my defence I did inform them of the mistakes with the agreement.

The only document I have ever signed is the original purchase order with the dealer (which he can't find).

 

Any ideas?!

Thank you.

Hi, can someone please help - I don't know what steps I should take next:

 

I sent a CCA request regarding an old agreement.

A copy of the 'original' agreement has arrived today

- with a forged signature!

It is most definitely NOT my signature, although it is a good attempt.

 

I never signed a credit agreement, that is why I sent the CCA request.

 

There are other issues

- the registration number of the vehicle I bought is incorrect,

as is the purchase price

- both issues were reported to the finance company at the time.

 

At this point, though,

I am more concerned with the fact that someone has had the audacity to forge my signature!

 

There must be a process I need to follow,

but I have no idea where to start.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Many thanks

The account is now with Lowells Solicitors

- they sent a 'final notice before court action' type letter..

. There may have been many other letters which were never opened (head buried in sand moments).

 

I haven't been paying this debt,

and I haven't acknowledged it.

 

 

Because of the issues with the account

(as my original post - incorrect details, no satisfactory response from Creation regarding these details)

I just didn't pay it

- I know that's not the best course of action,

but I've had many other things to worry about over the last 5 years.

 

I think the problem was always the cowboy that sold me the car.

He was more than a little surprised when I found him in 2012!

Funnily enough, I've seen a FB post very recently about him, and it wasn't a good review.

 

In summary

- I am in possession of the original purchase order,

showing the correct vehicle registration number and purchase price.

 

 

I have not made a payment on this account since 2012

(according to the statement I received today

- I'm sure it was longer ago than that, though).

 

 

I have not opened any letters about this account for years

- but that's not to say I didn't get any.

 

 

I am angry that I seem to have been 'done', and yes,

I'm trying to not pay it for that reason.

 

 

The CCA request was made because I KNEW they did not hold a signed agreement,

because I never signed one,

and I need to show I have tried to resolve this before it goes to court.

oh and you did the very best thing by not paying!!

 

pers i'd let this run

 

if you do get a claimform

then comeback here.

if casbot has sold it to lowells.

 

that means its definitely a lemon debt.

 

cabot are bottom feeders

Lowell don't usually deal in debts cabot has had

so i'd sit on your hand

which might have been a better thing to do

unless you've moved since you took this out

then the CCA was a good Idea as they now have the correct address

and cant get a backdoor CCJ.

 

the fact that its fraud and you have proof will KILL any court claim dead.

 

don't worry

Thank you for your input, it is appreciated!

 

Yes, I have moved - and changed my name (first name by deed poll, surname by marriage). Letters are still addressed in my old name. They found me somehow - not sure how? I had already changed my name by the time I moved...

 

Do I need to do anything about this fraudulent signature? Should I respond, pointing that out? Report it somewhere?
