    • 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.

Hello

I am new to this,

I have been reading up on your blogs about swift advances

they are a force to be reckoned with,

if I could get them of my back it would be such a relief.

 

I took out a consolidation loan with them in 2008 which is secured to my mortgage,

at that time I was very unsure whether to take the loan or not but with my foolish self listened to the sales person on the other end

who suggested I take the loan and maybe in 3 years time I could apply for a further loan at a reduced rate.

 

 

I accepted., not knowing that I was never intended to pay off that first loan because of their ridiculous charges and interest rate

I was desperate at that time and a bit naïve

 

they have taken me to court and applied for repossession but I got a suspended order

as long as I kept up my payments there would be no further action,

 

 

I kept up payments for about six months then I lost my job,

I have also got another creditor who has made me bankrupt

 

 

I have my first mortgage, swift advance and this creditor wanting to sell my house to pay the creditors,

I don't want to loose my house

 

 

I have worked hard to pay for this house and is all the assets I have,

its all I have left worth anything to hand down to my children and grandkids.

 

I am supposed to be in court on 2nd of September 2015 for them to seek order for sale.

 

 

I will fight this even if I have to do it myself.

Swift are daylight robbers I owe them more now than when I first took out the loan

will never be able to pay it of,

 

 

I feel sorry for those who have lost their homes to swift, it has to be stopped

people are working thinking they will have something to show for it when they retire but that's not what happens.

 

 

people need their homes swift don't care they need your house to keep them in the money,

which is more important don't let them get away with it fight.

 

bankruptcy courts want £36.0000 to pay of my creditors and fees and the rest to go to my mortgage and swift advances.

my house is worth £111.000

so I don't get anything after sale

they said they have made me bankrupt,

 

 

my name was in the paper that they use to announce someone who has been made bankrupt.

 

even though I did not go to court or see the trustees or signed any document.

 

bankruptcy is not right in my case because swift is my biggest downfall

they are the one that's suffocating me

 

 

if I could get rid of them all my other bills would get paid.

 

 

I only wanted to borrow £12.000 but I ended up getting £36.685 because I had to consolidate my other debts.

 

 

I have paid back about £30.000 plus not sure yet how much exactly,

and they said I still owe them £57.764.71 that's after paying £485 a month for 7 years. less arrears of £6,0000.

 

I tried to find if there was any help out there when it comes to secured loans

 

 

but nobody has any information on secured loans debt its as if they shy away from it.

I have just received a settlement figure of £82,000, borrowed £40k 7 years ago with £15k arrears..

 

 

They took me to court twice and luckily the judge was on our side as we could prove we were working at the time

and made a payment arrangement both times.

 

 

Unfortunately with these loans if you get made redundant or have financial problems, it's almost impossible to catch up,

selling the house to consolidate is pretty much the only way but I don't know anyone that managed to make money from their property after taking a secured loan.

 

 

It's not fair the excessive charges though, they say it's compounded interest but this is never explained when you take out any loan,

we have contacted financial ombudsman for financial advice and requested Swift revise the settlement as we won't be able to sell the house at that figure.

 

 

I will keep you all posted to see what number they come back with.

Every lawyer I have spoken with all say that is very excessive interest and to keep fighting the case until we have a satisfactory resolution.

 

It should be in their interest to get their money back and help their customers,

I will be only too happy to post a result which shows they actually do care

and not just trying to excessively charge people who need the help the most.

 

 

as it stands I will be lucky to see £5k back from a £50 deposit originally invested,

15 years living in a house and lost £45 doesn't quite stack up, watch this space!

They deliberately keep us in debt because they know they will collect another property at the end,

we might as well just hand our houses to them when we take out a loan, because there is no way that we would ever pay of that debt, I just wonder if anyone as ever paid of their debt or kept their house when dealing with swift.

I am sorry but I will not give my house to them without a fight, we work for 20 years or more to pay for some sort of security for our children or grand children and they come along and steel it, yes that's what it is theft, we would not get away with something like that, why do we keep letting them get away with it, we are like lambs been led to the slaughter.

if corporations like that keep doing this to us we will have nothing to leave for our family because the way things are they are going to be worse of than us.

we cannot keep working all our lives and then let them come and steel what we worked for sometimes with our blood sweat and tears. none of the so called legal system is on our side they work for the corporation, we have to fight for ourselves.

don't want to put anyone on a downer but Swift know all the ins and outs and that's why they'll never be beaten. If anyone could afford to employ a barrister to fight them you would be lucky to find one to take the case. The FOS must take much of the blame, god knows how many complaints they must have had about this company but 99% of the time they find in their favour.

hello

I received a letter from swift stating that they will send me the documents I asked for within 40 days.

I also forgot to mention that I did claim back my ppi from swift last year, but there is something I forgot to check on, should the amount I pay each month should that not have been reduced due to the fact that I no longer pay ppi. because I had been paying the same amount plus the arrears and my payments was not reduced.

I suggest build a case with your solicitor to prove you have an income and explain any shortfalls, redundancy or whatever has caused it. Make a proposal and submit it to swift a.s.a.p, if it's the first time they won't react coz they know the judge will probably make an agreement to spread the arrears over the remainder of the course of the loan. They have to do that as an offer!

But swift will want to proceed anyway because once they have the repossession order then the next time it's easy for them to just take your property if you don't maintain payments. Suggest y find a way out a.s.a.p, I'm still in a battle with them over my settlement figure,making it to financial ombudsman now, if they don't help then we open up a legal case, if that don't work I have no issue meeting the directors face to face! We wait and see...... Good luck

Humm, not good. I got advice from CCS, consumer credit service, it's free, but maybe you already gone down that path. It's gonna be difficult if you can't prove you can afford the payments plus something extra towards arrears, suggest you either sell your home quick before they take it, or find extra income, sry to be blunt but that's how it will be looked at I think.

I'm not sure tbh April. If you are going to be made bankrupt I'm guessing any assets will be taken, I.e secured assets (house). If there is a negative balance still then an arrangementt help in my experience swill be made to pay it off. If you have enough to sell and clear your debt, move into rented I would say you might feel happier this way, no more pressure to meet ridiculous high interest payments to swift, just your rent and food. I really hope it all works out for you, please try and get some advise from a professional or legal expert, forget CAB, they don't help in my experience. Keep fighting 💥👊🏻💥👊🏻💥👊🏻💥👊🏻💥

hey its not all doom and gloom and lose your house.

 

 

you need to carefully document the way swift have treated you.

 

 

even to me

how much you borrowed ,

how much the loan cost you in int

and how much you have paid

 

 

anyone even a judge can see its daylight robbery.

I will, as soon as I have received the documents from them I will know exactly where I am.

I will not have them steel my house, even if I have to arrange a peace full protest, if they come to throw me out.
