    • 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 this is a bit complicated by here goes

 

I took out a loan in 2006 with Creation finance one of those buy now pay later deals. Due to financial difficulties I was unable to continue with the repayments from August 2008, and I had assumed that the account had gone into default. In the middle of 2009 I contacted Creation finance and offered them a partial settlement and after some wrangling they agreed that they would accept what amounted to two thirds of the debt and not chase me for any more. I cant remember if they accepted my terms as full and final or partial settlement, but it was probabally the latter. I paid of other creditors in the same way, and never really looked for credit again.

 

Then in 2013 I started getting letters from Cabot demanding payment of the outstanding balance, and of course I lost the correspondence between myself and creation re the partial settlement of the debt. I ignored all letters from Cabot and then went and checked my credit file.

 

With regards to this loan, my payment status on my credit file was 6 from feb 2009 until August 09 (which means that I prob hadnt paid anything since at least Aug 2008)

then in sept 2009 it shows a 1 status, this is where I had paid of 2/3 or the debt, then the non payments reset and ive been at a 6 status since February 2010

 

Creation Finance only issued a default against me in January 2013, when it should have been done around feb 09 six (ie 6 months of no payments) or because i reset the debt clock by making a partial settlement in sep 2009 a default should have been issued in march 2010?

 

I did a SAR but of course there is absolutely no information from them regarding this Loan after 2009, no record of our correspondence re the partial settlement.

 

I had a couple of other loans with them previous to this and the Payment protection insurance on three of them amounts to more than Is outstanding on this debt

 

In reality what I really want is this default removed from my credit file, so what can i do, Cabot finace have resorted to phoning my neighbours to find out if I'm still living at my current address which I think is very poor form and very embarrasing for me

I have been hoking out old paperwork in regards to Creation finance, and i found a letter from Clarity dated August 2008 titled notice of instruction, stating that creation finance has served me with a default notice. the exact wording is

Creation Finance has served you with a default notice under section 87(1) of the consumer credit act 1974. This notice confirmed you are in breach of your agreement

it goes on to say

Failure to agree and maintain a payment plan may lead to creation finance registering a default against you with one or more credit reference agencies.

 

Neither of these letters was included in my SAR, is this because the letters are from clarity and not from Creation? there is no information in my SAR of any correspendence between creation and clarity, even though the sar asked for correspondance between third parties

 

So did Creation issue a default against me or not, and if so should a copy of the default issuednot have been included in my SAR?

 

I found a further letter from Clarity dated Nov 2008 saying stop further action now

its states

The outstanding balance on your account is £xxxx as your account is in default the full amount outstanding is payable immediately.

 

Am i right in thinking that this count was actually placed into default in 2008?

 

Also in the SAR there is a memo (undated) stating that they received a letter from the customer asking for a settlement of £xxx (which was about a quarter of the outstanding debt) rejected ESM stands foned cust l/m asking 4 call b4 8.30 2nite

 

My sar did not include a copy of this letter that i sent or a rejection ie I dont even know how they rejected ie was it by phone or by letter

 

So i offered them an increased settlement amount which they accepted but of course there is absolutiely no informtaion in my sar about that.

 

There are also charges of nearly £200 on the account, made up of £30 late payment fees and a fee of £100 to pass he debt on to clarity

 

Any advise or thoughts on this would be greatly appriciated

I have had a further look through my SAR and found a copy of a letter creation finance sent me in June 2008 its a default notice giving me until the start of July 2008 to bring account out of arrears. I didnt make a payment to them

 

I don't have any ppi on this account but on 3 others loans I had with them I was sold single premium insurance totalling almost £1000 including the interest they charged me for the insurance, on one of the three accounts I have £180 in charges made up from £30 charges from direct debit return fees, There is also £190 in charges from the default account.

 

So do I start a ppi claim rolling on the three accounts one was way back in 2001 and the other in 2003.

 

I have read the other thread in this forum re Creation registering a very late default, so should i also send them a letter similar to the one in the other thread? I think I am slightly confused because from my reading of the information creation, actually put my account into default in 2008, but didn't register it until 2013, and that my situation is slightly different because I paid them a large lump settlement in 2009 approx a year after the default notices. Am i right in thinking that I reset the statute barred clock due to making this payment

 

do I have any recourse over the £30 returned DD fees?

 

Also there is no default notice relating to the default in 2013 in my SAR

Creation often defaults accounts without issuing default letters. This is a practice put in place by the manager of their third party debt team called west midlands debt that is actually in office and not third party. The manager is Sean Shears. He personally will default accounts without sending out the letters. Ask them to provide you the notes from the account and then complain to the FCA.
