    • 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.

I am after some advice please if possible

 

Having had a number of loans with Wonga I eventually reached a point I could no longer afford to make the large payment back on my last loan, taken out in February of last year.

 

Before the payment was due at the end of March I raised a complaint of unaffordable lending and asked for a payment plan offering an amount I could afford to pay.

 

Wonga sent me an I&E sheet which I completed and sent back, then I heard nothing from them.

 

Next message was a couple of months later with a threat of court if I didn't pay,

which was a surprised as i'd offered an amount that they never came back to me on

 

After that a payment plan was agreed and I made 2 payment towards to loan.

In the meantime my complaint was rejected by Wonga,

 

sent to the FOS where it was upheld and Wonga agreed to a refund of £2.5k,

although £850 would be used to pay off the outstanding loan and all negative information removed from my credit account.

Not an issue, all sorted, balance was paid back to me at the start of October

 

In mid December I was contacted by Moorcroft about an outstanding loan with Wonga.

I logged into my Wonga account and it showed I still had an outstanding loan.

 

I then checked my Noddle report (I usually look at Experian but Wonga don't report to that).

My credit report showed not only was my loan not paid off,

but showed as defaulted in July.

 

I contacted Wonga who at first told me that the last loan hadn't been part of the arrangement (utter rubbish) but they would look into this.

 

Over the last few months of the year I had an MBNA credit card suspended and a catalogue account suspended due to "adverse information on my account"

 

Now Wonga have admitted they should have removed the loan and have asked Equifax and Call Credit to delete this.

 

Now that would be great if they hadn't done so much damage to my credit over the last 5 months.

Also looking at my Equifax file it shows my loan a month in arrears in Nov 2016 and then 2 months in Dec, up to 4 months in arrears.

 

All this before I even opened in the loan at the end of Feb.

The loan shows as AP (?) from March to June 2017 and then defaulted in July 2017, which is all total lies

 

Where do I stand with this?

I'm absolutely furious with Wonga,

but currently stuck in their 8 weeks complaints procedure (again),

but this whole saga is a shambles.

 

I have all of this documented on email.

 

Any advice would be great

Do you have the letter confirming they should have removed this? This could be instrumental!

Do you have your historical credit files?

 

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for the quick response

 

I have the confirmation email from the adjudicator on 31st August that stated what they should do.

They didn't argue with any of it.

 

They left the first 3 loans on my credit file, which was as the adjudicator said.

They confirmed to the FOS they would work to the proposal put to them by the adjudicator, this was on the 25th September.

 

I received the confirmation calculation on the 3rd October 2017 and that was the last communication I had from Wonga until Moorcroft emailed me on the 19th December.

 

In that time I received no phone calls (my mobile hasn't changed since 2005), no emails and no letters in the post.

Wonga claimed they had rang me and had a list of when, so I asked for a copy of this but was told I would have to pay £10 for SAR!

 

I have quite a lot of Experian credit files but Wonga don't report on there.

I only set Noddle back up once Moorcroft got in touch, and also my Equifax report (the last one I had is a fews years old unfortunately)

In this instance i believe you have further recourse to make a complaint. This is all dependant however on the info from the below;

 

Over the last few months of the year I had an MBNA credit card suspended and a catalogue account suspended due to "adverse information on my account"

 

If their mistake has caused you great detriment, damages may be brought in the form of a MCOL Court Claim and taking this through the legal channels.

 

We could do with some help from you.

I have a screen shot of my Next account stating that it was suspended due to adverse info on my file.

I also spoke to MBNA who would not remove the suspension my credit card account for the same reason.

I have a letter from them telling me that this is why my account is suspended.

 

I no longer believe a word Wonga say, couldn't trust them to investigate my complaint properly and believe that no matter how much info I send them about the effect this has had on me, they aren't taking this seriously.

 

I suspect on Feb 15th when the 8 weeks is up I won't get a response as they are inundated with complaints.

I can't possibly think why!

 

I haven't even had an apology in writing yet.

Although I do get mad at times, and especially so with this,

i'm more than happy to get even, sadly this may have to be through MCOL.

 

I have no idea what a suitable compensation would be though.

 

Any ideas or cases studies would be great

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi dx, they won't do anything unless Wonga have had 8 weeks, as they view it as a separate complaint to my original one last year. I emails the adjudicator the second Moorcroft got in touch and to be fair to her, se responded straight away, chased up Wonga to see what they were doing (after the New Year) and emailed me back. She saw this as a new complaint but added the info to my original one.

 

If i don't get something I feel is a suitable response then I will be looking at a complaint with the FOS (although complaints seem to be taking 3 months to be picked up at the moment), send everything to the FCA and see what i can do through MCOL. I'm sure a newspaper or 2 might be interested too!
