    • 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.

Looking for some help and am new so please be kind!.

 

I have a loan with loans2go.

I borrowed 850

was told I would pay £92PCM interest

which was included in my monthly payment of £164

I have made 9 payments

 

today rang for a redemption figure

was horrified that they still want £474

despite admitting Ive already repaid over 1400!.

I feel sick.

 

I have dug out my original credit agreement

 

I did indeed sign for an 850 loan with a total repayable of 1972.

Interest rate is 500.7%.

 

Horrified I have done some digging with the fca handbook

and found that a logbook loan is classed as a high interest short term loan.

 

The way I have read is that means they come under the new rules of capped interest from 2015

and I should never have been expected to repay more than double my original debt?

 

Can anyone confirm that this makes the loan unenforceable

and I can request the excess I have paid back?

 

Please say I'm right

because I would love to wipe the grin from their faces

I can't believe I agreed to those terms but I was desperate X

I did think that

but when you read into the new legislation it does say it covers log book Loans

and is covered in the concs handbook.

 

When reading the concs handbook

it does say interest is capped for all high interest short term lenders (a loan for 12 months or less).

 

I think I'll ring the ombudsman service tomorrow and ask for advice

because it's very misleading.

 

I would think all logbook loans are secured on a car so I don't know why they would mention it in the list of high interest short term lenders from none are included?.

 

I have read and re read it and I can't find any exclusion,

 

the only ring it excludes is a loan secured on land or property (mortgage).

 

The recent review into bill of sales even says they will ensure firms comply with the concs handbook

and all this mentions is a cap of 0.8% per day or a maximum of the same value as the loan in interest and fees? X

  • 8 months later...

Hi I really need some help and advice I am so stressed.

 

Long story short but took a ridiculous loan with loans2go for 850.

Repayment 1947 over 12 months.

(Longer story as it was mis sold to me as having monthly interest applied When it was a fixed sum agreement).

 

I missed a payment three months in and didn't catch it up

and a few months later I made only a partial payment so 1 1/2 months arrears.

 

I asked for a redemption figure months later and was quoted the full fixed sum to 12 months.

This was over 550 at the time and I had already repaid 1400.

 

 

I complained I had been mis sold the loan as they clearly weren't applying interest monthly and I was being offered nothing in early redemption.

 

In order to deal with my complaint they agreed to reduce my balance to 300 pound with three payments being due at 100 each. They confirmed this arrangement in writing and advised the changes had been implemented.

 

I believed this had cleared my arrears and I made my first 100 pound payment.

I struggled with the second month and they allowed me to make weekly payments to clear the balance which I did 3 weeks later than was originally arranged.

 

The loan was repaid and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I then Applied for credit with a lender I frequently used and was unexpectedly refused.

 

 

I checked my credit file and found loans to go had applied a default 3 weeks before the loan was repaid in full for a balance that was due 6 months previously. It didn't make sense.

 

I contacted them and asked them to remove the default.

I had never received any default notice and even without the arrangement they made I was not 3 months in arrears as per ICO guidance and our relationship had not broken down.

 

They refused to remove it and so I contacted the ombudsman.

I had an adjudicator go back and forth for 5 months while they still refused to remove it.

 

 

2 weeks ago they finally said they would remove it but show as partially satisfied.

I refused this action as it was settled in full.

 

The adjudicator passed it to a proper ombudsman and I have received a ridiculous response today.

 

 

It states loans2go have agreed to remove the default in full and not show my account as ever been in arrears and they therefore do not have a decision to make and cannot award compensation as loans2go are being more than fair??!!

 

They would have been fair had they agreed to do this in October 16 when I first complained.

How can they suddenly decide to remove it before an ombudsman makes a decision and that be ok?

 

What about the period from October til now where it has affected my ability to obtain credit and caused me so much anxiety to have it removed?

 

I have to accept or refuse the ombudsman decision but I am confused as they haven't actually made one!

 

If I can't be compensated via the ombudsman on what grounds would you take court action?

I know they breached data protection by not abiding by ICO and data protection and updated a default for an incorrect date and Amount and it wasn't three months in arrears.

 

The anxiety stress and depression this has caused me are indescribable and I want loans2go made accountable for what they did.

 

I should add after months of prompting they produced a load of paperwork notice of arrears and defaults to the Ombudsman and not one piece of this paperwork was received by me.

 

 

The default notice they provided shows a balance for the whole fixed sum and took no account of the arrangement of compensation to reduce my balance.

 

Where do I go to next?

I hope others read this and stay well away from loans2go

Thank you. Finally getting somewhere.

 

 

It seems the ombudsman did not pass on the fact loans2go had agreed to remove it and have today apologised and offered me compensation.

 

As they made no decision on the default itself I'm free to pursue further action.

 

I have made a formal complaint to the ico which hopefully help other customers.

I've also issued loans2go with a letter before action and intend now on taking them to court for breach of data protection act a d credit consumer act.

 

The arrogance they showed in refusing to correct their mistake left me so stressed and angry.

 

At least I can help other people suffering the same fate.
