    • Good evening folks, i have my hearing tomorrow at 3pm. I have never been to court for a civil matter, what is likely to happen  and what do i need to do?  I plan on going straight from work, i finish at 2pm, it will take about half an hour to get there, does that sound ok? I called the court late this afternoon, sadly i was too late in the day and the office was closed.  
    • This is kind of related but does anyone know since I have this ban from entering UAE because of my loan, can I visit Qatar? 
    • Thank you for that i thought id just ask as i was unsure.  Just hope its returned to me and doesnt spend the rest of its life going back and forth to Singapore  
    • Thanks @lolerz. I've attached it to the post. What do you think? What's the organ grinder? NTK.pdf
    • I'm afraid that if the value of the item was under declared then that is probably the best that you can hope for. Also, because the item was incorrectly addressed – even by a single letter, if that because the issue relating to the delivery then that has probably compounded the problem. There is probably very little that can be done. If you are lucky you will get the item back and then you can start again and declare it properly. Undervaluing parcels which are sent by any means is always going to cause a problem if the item is lost or damaged. It may mean that the cost of delivery is slightly less – but at the end of the day the risk becomes yours. When you enter into any kind of contract, effectively you declare it a level of risk to your contracting partner – and they decide to enter into the contract with you based on that level of risk. You have declared a level of risk and £50 – and that's the deal.   Additionally, undervaluing an item which is an internationally has the effect also of evading customs and any VAT system which is in force in that country – and that makes the whole thing a little bit more serious

    • 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.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone as won any cases against Blemain in regards to unfair charges etc....

 

I took out a loan in 2006 for £25k secured on my property, I clearly checked the box indicating we did not want PPI only to find that over £5k was added to our loan which was for PPI.

 

However in late 2017 I still had £27k outstanding on a loan which was taken out over 180months. Simple math shows with have paid over £50k back since 2006.

 

My beef with Blaimain/Togrether is :

 

£5k was added to the loan at the front end for PPI to which we clearly said we did not want.

 

Since 2006 our monthly payments have been based on £31k rather than £25K

 

I would like to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience. Thanks.

Hello Andy, thanks for getting back to me.

 

Yes, I have all the documents.....

 

Just continuing from my first post I contacted Blemain/Together in November 2017 to get an update/status on our loan etc...I told there Customer Services Department that I would like to lodge a compliant regarding three points :

 

Firstly - PPI being added to the loan at the start, hence £31k and not £25K which we applied for. We clearly checked the box on the application that no PPI was required.

Secondly - Our monthly repayment since 2006 as been on £31k and not £25k

Thirdly - Unfair and inappropriate charges for missed payments. Our beef is that due to us paying monthly payments on £31k and not £25k this contributed to falling into arrears.

 

I would say that all arrears were paid up and the account is running on track.

 

We received correspondence from Blemain/Together confirming acknowledgement of our compliant which basically said they would investigate however this could take a few months etc.

 

So correspondence was received regularly, monthly from them just saying they were still investigating etc. One of the letters received a few months later said that our PPI was sold by a broker, Loan Line Ltd but Loan Line were no longer trading so Blemain/Together could not help with the PPI element. I went back and told them as far as I was concerned firstly we didn't ask for PPI and secondly we had never had any contact with Loan Line and our contract was with Blemain/Together etc. unfortunately this was still rejected by them and they told me to contact the FSCS...which we did....

  • 3 months later...

Ombudsman will be no use whatsoever as Blemain will argue that loan is over the 25k limit and therefore not a regulated agreement. Ombudsman reply will just be that this matter would be better for a court to resolve. Been there done that got the T Shirt.

 

 

As already said can only really help if we have sight of the agreement with personal details and agreement number removed. Was the agreement signed by the Lender or do you have an original agreement not signed by the lender.
