    • Hi Lolerz Thanks for replying to me, yes I've been ignoring her & will continue to do so. All she keeps saying is they want to come up with an amicable settlement. Keeps saying this to our receptionist she shouldn't be saying this to a receptionist or even me in the first place as they have given no proof of anything no IP addresses noting just keeps saying about an amicable settlement.
    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step? It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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.

In 2007 me and my then husband took out an additional secured loan on our property with swift in joint names for the amount of £10k the money was to do up the house.

 

 

In February 2007 the loan was granted to be paid back by Feb 2017

in the same year me and my husband split up which resulted in a divorce soon after.

I was left with a loan, mortgage and 3 very young children to bring up on my own.

 

I informed the company with the changes in my circumstances but was ignored

instead advised that I was liable for the full amount as I was the resident in the property in question.

 

As time went by I paid what I could afford, on many occasions falling into arrears.

With the help of family and friends I still managed to pay the out standing amount but could never catch up to the interest and charges put on the arrears.

 

It has now come to the point the contract is due to expire in February 2017

I have already paid the company a sum around £16/17k

but the company is demanding a further £24k and has placed a charge on the property.

No chance I have that kind of money to pay Swift.

 

I believe the company has been unjust and unfair.

They have made no attempts to chase my ex husband for the out standing amount.

I need to know if anyone thinks I may have a case?

Hi Martin,

 

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes I have all the paper work including a copy of the original contract that has bot our signatures.

I have also noticed that each time I have requested for a redemption figure over the phone,I was advised that the figure can only be sent out in the post, this yet again came at a cost.

 

Every time they put pen to paper they have charged me bucket loads, I feel like im in quick sand and I keep sinking deep.

hi dx100uk

 

Thank you for the link I have seen all that was written in the message but not yet clicked on the links. I can tell you from dealing with my case that I am in the region of £10,000 in charges and fees been applied to the loan.

I have now instructed a solicitor to have a look into my case and see if I am able to take swift to court.

Hi dx100uk

 

I have now taken time to read the links and liked it very much,

 

 

in fact I was smiling thinking there may be yet hope for us all.

 

I have applied on line yesterday with the FSA, it could take 2/6 days for them to respond.

 

I know what you mean dx100uk

but I have exhausted all avenues when it comes to trying to resolve my matter with this company

they are not wiling to comply with no matter what my situation may be.

 

 

My property has 80% equity which I can see them sat rubbing their hands to get hold of.

 

I have searched and searched on this company and all the response I see if everyone failing to find a way out.

I want them to know that I will fight this with all my power and more, for my sanity and my kids.

 

:-xsorry to sound so emotional but for those who have dealt with companies like this in similar situations will know how I feel.

If you can add up 10k in charges from the statements, then once you add in 8% stat interest from the date the fee was applies to present day, i think you will find the total will far outweigh what they claim you now owe.

 

If your a little more confident and can argue then it might be worthwhile looking at compound interest which would be the contractual rate you had on the loan.

 

Compound interest would leave them no doubt owing you money!!

 

And then theres the PPI, havent started with that yet !!

I have asked the ombudsman to look into the PPI

 

i have bags and bags full of statements, letters and more that have been sent to me and in the name of my ex husband

not to mention the same letter then sent to both our names (what a joke)

and each time a letter is sent out there is a charge

so most likely they have charged e for all 3 same letters sent out!!

There are two different apr percentage figures if you can make clear for us please.

 

 

Contact Swift to send you a letter showing the interest rate changes, if any, over the period of the loan.

 

 

It's usual they change them over the loan period.

 

 

You will need this info before completing a spread sheet.

 

 

In the same contact request a loan statement from the start of loan to present showing your payments and charges taken.

Thank you determindator

 

I have the most latest statement stating all he figures paid from start until now but I don't have a letter stating what APR has been charged.

I will contact the company tomorrow to request this information.

This is so draining....

 

Thank you

Not only do swift charge you for sending you a letter, i think its about £33 a time, they also have the bare cheek to charge you to receive a letter from you aswell, unbelievable!!

 

If you are ok completing the spreadsheets you should be using an interest rate of 12.5%

dx100uk I shall be fine doing the spread sheet not a problem as long as I have all the info needed. And thank you everyone that has helped me so far .

dx100uk I don't think you have to be and expert but when your thrown into the deep end you end up learning so much more and see a new world.

I think the biggest fight can be forth with wit and determination. I have both even through I feel drained I have come so far not to lose but fight on....

 

And when you have good people on here like your self and others to guide and mentor you then it would be foolish of me not to take this matter the whole way and see it through. I might not win but least I would have given it my all.

I will get on to the spread sheet tomorrow with a fresh head.

I will go through the last statement I received to date and put it al on the spread sheet.

Then work out the percentage charge for each charge and then a total percentage of charge to date and interest paid to date on the charge to date.

What is the reason for this flat rate please Martin if the rate changes over time.

 

 

you have a point, would you advise I contact the company and ask for each charge and interest charged on each charge too?

Share on other sites

just a point

if you use the CISHEET here

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?330996-Latest-Spreadsheets-PPI-Claims-and-Charges-Claims-Dec-2011

 

 

all you have to do is put each PENALTY charge in individually

on its own line

then put the Int rate in cell D15

the sheet does the rest for you
