    • see post #425 above: I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale ...   could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead? It would certainly side swipe the lender and receiver if this other entity did this
    • Hi, no problem at all. It's a Vauxhall Grandland X and I can confirm that the service history is not stored in the vehicles computers or online. The vehicle is financed through Black Horse on a PCP. Thanks, Steve
    • Thank you so much for all the information you all have provided! I really appreciate it.  dx I will definitely speak to the TFL prosecutor before the hearing if I can find them to beg for an OCC.    Just to update. At the start of this journey I reached out to many organisations and advice centres but no one responded. However, a few days ago I received an email back from We Are Advocate, that a barrister has volunteered to help me with my case. He said it is his job to get the best possible outcome for me. He suggested I get some character references, which I have done and will be receiving over the course of the next few days.  He also told me: Unfortunately, you WILL be left with a criminal record if you are convicted! You do not stand convicted of the offence  YET. You can only be convicted if a) you plead guilty AT COURT or b) you are FOUND guilty after a trial in open court. So that answers one of our questions.    I have asked him lots of other questions and I'm just waiting for him to reply.  So glad I will not be facing the court alone.    TD

    • 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.

Hi everyone

- haven't been on this forum for ages which is probably a good thing as it means I have no problems that need solving, but need to use all your brilliant advice again.

 

Got a letter from Direct Auto Finance saying I could claim for PPI,

they sent a form and also asked for copy of my agreement (which I did have, think was from 2012)

 

filled it all in as we were conned,

I remember the sales guy saying we had to take out PPI otherwise we could not get the car without it even though it was over the amount we could afford and kindly left the room for us to "talk about it".

Had no option so signed on the dotted line.

 

The total amount of PPI on our finance agreement was £1018.97.

 

Got the letter with breakdown from them today and they have agreed a final settlement of £219.75.

 

What I would like to know is does this amount sound fair or should I appeal.

 

The only reason I don't want them to get away with it as looking back the salesman had no right to say we could not get the car without it.

 

My brother has bought me a ticket to go to New Zealand over Easter to see my nephew so would be brilliant to have some extra money to spoil him.

 

I have attached a copy of the breakdown.

see they have 'added back' an 50% re the 'guidelines'.

what 'guidelines' state about 'adding back' 50 %, did the fca state that 50% shld be taken off where there was a deemed missell?

you cant get both!

 

either you accept the Plevin refund

or

you reject it and put in a std PPI claim.

have you ever tried to reclaim the PPI?

this reads that you might have and were refused before?

Hi - was not going to claim for both.

 

Want to reject the DAF and do a PPI claim via FOS as might be able to get more.

 

First time I have claimed PPI,

I just got a letter from them with a form to complete and post back,

telling me I would hear back from them within 8 weeks.

 

Do I need to let DAF know I am reject and doing a claim through FOS,

again only because of what the salesman told us which is not right and he could see we had no idea on what we were supposed to do so took advantage of us,

 

h the money came out of his pocket especially as he got the commission!!!

Hi There,

Can you please help me and advise me on how you first got in contact with Direct Auto Finance as i have written to them a couple of years ago with no response as they mis-sold me PPI beween 2001-2007 and feel i am owed quite a bit but I have banged my head against a brick wall trying to get a response.

Thanks in advance
