    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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 All,

I'm a newbie to the site and I hope i'm in the correct forum.

I would be very grateful for any advice or guidance from those of you with experience of similar issues.

 

We took a loan with Welcome Finance in 2007 secured against our home for £17,000.

Over the years they have changed companies and are now known as Prime Credit.

 

We have taken steps to sell our home and have accepted an offer.

It is only now that we are in a position where we are looking for a new mortgage that we have realised the secured loan will create difficulties.

 

We have paid £234 per month for almost 10 years totalling around £28K.

When we finish the loan with Prime Credit in another 5 years we will have paid in excess of £40k

 

Can anyone offer some advice on the best way to approach this with the Loan Company please.

We have just realised that if we have to settle the loan first we will not have the deposit needed to move house.

 

We have been improving our credit scores over the past few years and are bordering on achieving Good.

 

Would it be advisable to apply for an unsecured loan to pay this off or would this also affect our mortgage application.

 

We are so confused about the best way to deal with this :???:

Many thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

So theyve sold the debt on.

The new owners have continually applies more and more interest and charges.

 

I think its time you read your contract that you originally agreed to and what interest you had to pay, as well as SAR welcome and get accurate statements.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thank you for your response.

 

I have spoken with Prime Credit this morning and they advised me that the current outstanding amount is £9868.88.

To settle now would incur a 30 day interest charge amounting to £116.

 

I gave him the repayment figures to date and the figure for the next 5 years worth of payments.

I explained that we have repaid highly excessive amounts for an original 17K loan.

 

They have advised me that they will send the Redemption Statement to me and request that someone contacts me to discuss the figures.

 

I informed them that I would be sending a SAR and asked them to confirm that this should be sent to Welcome as the original creditors

 

After seeking clarification from his supervisor the call handler came back and advised me that the SAR is to be sent directly to Prime Credit as Welcome provided Prime Credit with all of the records dating back to the start of the account.

 

What are your thoughts :???:

Kind Regards

Dx should be online soon he loves welcome finance and unraveling them

 

 

If I was you going on my history with them. You need to find out some facts from LR too.

 

I’d go on here and pay £3 for your deeds make sure you save them

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/land-registry

 

Then when you get that use this form to get the official copies it will cost you £7 but you’ll get more info

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/official-copies-of-documents-registration-oc2

 

Good luck.

 

PS watch prime credit as they are added interest on when in my case it should have been at 0% from the sale to them from welcome.

 

SAR welcome asap

 

Prime don’t like replying to letters or A SAR

 

Don’t speak to prime on phone either you need everything on paper as evidence. In case you need it for a later date.

you need to stay off the phone. Keep everything in writing and demand that they provide a complete breakdown of the alleged amoun t owed and how they came to it.

 

Also, i hope you have reclaimed any PPI and unlawful charges from welcome and the new owner.

Best it comes from Welcome first. And then go to prime if needs be later.

 

I’ve already been to court 3 times with prime and they are still not following court orders or producing anything I’ve requested.

 

I’m only speaking from my experience.

 

Sar Welcome and see if there’s any reclaim to be done through them or FSCS first

cruzhughes many thanks for this. I'll get on to this now and gather the documents.

 

Kind Regard

I haven't claimed any PPI as yet.

 

To be honest i've been extremely stupid and naive.

The loan has been ignored for the last 10 years and i've only taken any notice of it now that we are selling the house.

 

I'll take all of your advice on board and start with the SAR to Welcome.

 

Will this give me an indication of any PPI and other charges/fees associated with the loan?

 

I've been through a mountain of paperwork trying to find the original documents from Welcome and I can't find them.

Very frustrating.

Your advice is hugely appreciated.

Sounds like you're having a terrible time with Prime.

Any pitfalls you can share are most welcome. Many thanks :-)

And fire a CCA Request off to prime.

 

Don’t hold out much hope of getting one.

 

I’m still waiting for mine almost a year and 3 court cases later :lol:

 

I'm probably asking a silly question but is it Section 77 of the CCA that I'm referring to?

The Charge has been varied by a Deed of Variation dated 17 September 2016 made between (1) Welcome Financial Services Limited and (2) Alpha Credit Solutions
