    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • 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.  👍

    • 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.

I wondered if anyone can help.

 

I have missed 3 payments on my santander mortgage.

 

I got a suspended possession order in Oct 2013 and had to pay £50 on top of the normal payment which i did

then approx 8 months later Santander said they would be willing to re-capitalise the arreras (approx £9,000) into the mortgage

and so I would have no arrears but my payments increase a bit. so I said yes.

 

Then last year we had all sorts of issues, the year from hell.

 

My father in law had what we think was a stroke or something at our house at xmas last year and my husband spent 6-7months

trying to get him re-housed to a care home and we can't look after him,

I have two kids and a full time job and so does my husband.

 

My daughter who was only 11 at the time was very sad and upset and finally last year she tried to commit suicide.

 

My husband then in Oct he went off work with stress anxiet, depression etc, he was foo work for 2 months,

he normally gets paid a healthy overtime payment and on call allowance which he didn't get while he was off work.

 

We had a problem with our roof which was leaking and had to be repaired which is why we missed the first 2 payments in Sept and Oct 2014

it cost us nearly £3,000 (our home insurance had lapsed so we weren't covered there)

and then because my husband was off work and we had less money we didn't make the 3rd payment in Jan

as we had robbed peter to pay paul fro nov and dec and had literally nothing in Jan.

 

I don't know what to do,

they are asking for all monies (£4,612) to be paid within 7 days which I cannot afford.

Mortgage is £1494 and I offered Santander an extra £65 to pay £1559 per month.

 

 

they said they would have to send it to their legal team (Eversheds) I got their latter last Saturday,

 

 

Obviously I don't want to go to court and I want to make the same offer to them but I can't face ringing them which they have asked me to do.

 

I have paid the normal payment today, and we are all back to normal finance wise, and husband is back at work.

 

 

I have extra outgoings and my daughters counsellar suggested that I enrole her in some classes to build her confidence.

but I can afford to pay what I offered above.

 

I need some help drafting something to them, I just don't know where to start!

 

Can you help?

Hi there, I will get back to you later when I'm home from work and we can get a letter drafted. In the meantime, fill in the affixed budget sheet (it calculates automatically as you fill it in), so you can show how you are going to afford the payments going forward.

Hi there, what's the 200 per month Hobbies ?

 

Also, the £12,000 arrears on the secured loan - is that also with Santander?

ON a side note

How many "Charges" have been made to the mortgage for late payments and letters etc.

 

These charges should be totted up and reclaimed, or at the very least offset against the arrears (Along with interest charged on those penaltys) as they are unlawful and unenforceable. Particulay if the recapitalisation includes previous unlawful charges.

 

I would be sending satans bank, a full subject access request.

MyFamily my own experience would be that you do need to have the courage to ring Santander/Eversheds to explain your situation.

 

 

I can understand why you don't want to and in the past Accord's call centre have reduced me to tears with their heartless attitude. However, over the last couple of years their attitude does seem to have changed, probably, I suspect because the Financial Conduct Authority have made it clear that those in difficulty are to be helped, not made to feel like dirt! On my last two calls they have been reasonable and understanding.

 

 

You do need to have a budget sheet produced because they will probably want to go through it with you. My own view, and Ell-en may disagree as she has far more experience, is that you do need to show that you are putting your mortgage first. £110 a month for TV and broadband suggests you have every TV package under the sun and I am living proof that you can give up Sky etc. and put that towards the mortgage. :)

 

 

The one lesson I have learned is that the mortgage HAS to come first. Otherwise you end up leading a miserable life of fighting eviction over and over. I live a very frugal existence at the moment but that is how it has to be until those arrears are completely cleared. No holidays, no car, no luxuries whatsoever, because as a woman on my own I can no longer deal with the ongoing eviction threats.

 

 

I hope that helps, just my experience, but mortgage first - everything else - second! :)

I do agree that the £110 per month for TV and broadband would be looked on as excessive and I think a judge might think you should save the cost and make a higher offer towards the arrears.

Please, I really need help just putting my situation into words, I just can't face speaking them, I tried speaking to Santander before and I gave them all the fugures that I have put on my budget sheet but they still said it would go over to Eversheds, I have had dealings with Eversheds before and I can't talk to them!

I'm at work at the moment but will try and find some time to draft the letter - are you going to change the budget sheet to show a reduction in the TV etc ? if so, will you be increasing your offer towards the arrears to £70 ?

Affixed is a draft letter, you need to put your surname where there are XXX's, affix the budget sheet and send by special delivery (costs just over £5.00). Make sure you keep a copy of everything for yourselves. A few days after posting check the royalmail website to print off the signature receipt and keep safe with your copy of the letter in case we need it for court.

 

Do you have a receipt for the repairs to the roof?

Hi Ell-enn - Yes I will do the budget sheet again so should I be offering £70 in total then my last offer was £65, so only £5.00 more is that right?

 

Also not sure if you realise but you don't seem to have attached anything :-)

Sorry, increase your offer by the £20 you've saved on the tv package

Hi All,

 

Havning a panic right now, I haven't made the payment that was due for my mortgage this week. I had some serious personal issues basically to do with my husband - he withdrew all of my wages (that usually pays the mortgage) and spent it (he is a compulsive gambler) and now have no money to make this payment. I normally have full control over the bank account. I keep both cards, mine and his.

 

Last week I was at work and I asked him to pick something up for me, without thinking I gave him his card so he could pay for it, and he used it in the bookies!.

 

I have taken his card off him and cut it up - I am so angry but I don't know what to do now. I made an arrangement which I kept in Feb and March but now I have nothing to give them, I cannot even pay my other bills, such as council tax, gas, electricity etc. A friend is going to help me out with shopping for food for this month (she's coming with me and will pay) but she can't help me with this - it's too much.

 

I don't know how I can explain this to them, I feel like and idiot for trusting him. He was doing so well, I was controlling any money he had, but I let my guard down for a second and this happened, he is in GA and obviously like any addiction they have blips.

 

Like I said I have cut up his cards, he doesn't know the pin for mine so that's o.k. What can I do about Santander, I'm terrified!

 

Please help

I don't think you have any option but to come clean and contact Santander to explain. If you don't contact them they will assume you have just defaulted on the arrangement and will more than likely apply for an eviction order.

Make sure you send it to the right department and by either special delivery (best idea) or recorded delivery. If you need help with the letter please let me know.
