    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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 understand where you are coming from mcfadwmc. the problem is that the County Courts set no precedents - therefore each case has to be judged by itself. Also, there is the additional problem that different courts being presented with essentially the same information may come to different conclusions.

I have had dealings with welcome & mr orill last year..my complaint dealt with fraudulent addition of ppi when i left the office, (£900,000 added transaction on my account and pages of additions and deductions leaving account£82,000 in credit, 2 new accounts opened without my knowledge and also these disbursal fees... It was agreed that my debt of £2500 was written off and also £265 costs were given and the matter would be closed.

 

guess what in nov07 they sold it to hfo (hard hitting dca). so breached our agreement of may. I spoke to mr orrible and he said it was in error and slammed the phone down.

 

In retaliation i have recalled all my payments in the form of all the direct debit payments they had through the debit indemnity promise and so now i have got back every penny i have ever paid them. I am also going to mount a case to the fos for compensation for the distress and inconvinience they have caused me. I went to the police when i got my dsar and discovered their fraud as their internal notes confirmed they knew what their staff were doing. this company is corrupt through and through...If you are reading this mr orill ..IT AINT OVER MATE!!!

Hi alp

 

When you start your case with the FOS perhaps ssuggest that Welcome "are not fit and proper persons to hold a consumer credit license". Copy your letter to the OFT (since they actually issue consumer credit licenses)

 

(in fact, perhaps everyone should do this)

Hi everyone! Not too sure where to post this message as i am new but if anyone can point me in the right direction i would be very grateful.

 

I have applied for a loan with Welcome finance but after reading some of the posts i feel very uneasy about it now.

They have sent their final pack to me and my partner to fill in and send off all the documents but i don't want to fill in the section about them contacting my employer.

If i leave this blank can the loan still go ahead? I work with all females and they can be very bitchy and nosey and i don't want anyone knowing about my private finances.

If i send in my payslip will that be enough? My partner has no problems with putting his employer details down.

Also its a secured loan of £10,000 on our house but we only want the loan for six months and then pay it off in full after 6 months - what are their early repayment penalties like?

 

many many thanks xxxxxxx

yes, not sure if I did this already, I will have to dig out my notes, files, etc, but had something back about the PPI being non returnable because it was too many years ago,(seemed wrong to me), besides my complaint is about the overall behaviour of this company, the fees, added without my knowledge.

 

does anyone know exactly what disbursal fees are?

Hi sweetie123 and welcome to CAG.

 

It's completely up to you as we cannot give advice about loans.

 

Personally, though, from what I have read here, I would only borrow from Welcome if there was absolutely no other choice (although I am not trying to influence you in any way). By no other choice I mean matter-of-life-and-death.

 

You will have to ask them about early repayment penalties. Ask them about PPI, late payment charges, etc whilst you are at it.

They are not bothering me for the debt, but are updating my file with adverse information also the account balance is going up and up so thats why I decided to report them.

They have no cca with my signature on so cannot prove I gave permission for they to share my information with the CRA`s therefore breaking the data protection act!

  • 10 months later...

Hi al, thanks for a fantastic thread. I am still pursing a claim against Welcome, specifically i am refusing to pay the penalty charges to the account, and i am questioning the legality of them charging interest on the original credit.

I am slightly confused about some of the comments posted on pages 8 to 10, which seemed to suggest that the "acceptance fee / disbursal fee" is legally legitimate when added to the amount of credit given ?

 

In my case, the figures are:

 

Total case for goods: £5,400

Less Deposit: £100

Amount of credit: £5,300

Acceptance Fee: £150

Finance Charge: £2,615.92

Total Charges: £2,765.92

Total amount payable: £8165.92

At 24.8% APR

Payable at £168.04 per month.

 

Can anyone tell me if these look correct / legally enforceable?

 

Thanks for your help. I realise this is an old thread, but hoped someone can answer me.

The acceptance fee may be split up and paid in installments over the life of the loan but it must not be part of the loan - ie have interest charged on it.

 

I think what they have done is this. (assuming it's over 48 months)

 

£150/48 = £3.125 (fee divided into 48 equal parts)

£168.04 - £3.125 = £164.915 (monthly payment of the loan - ie with fee taken off)

 

48 x £164.915 = £7915.92 (total paid for loan)

£5300 + £2615.92 = £7915.92 ( = loan + finance charge)

Adding £150 to the finance charge gives total charges of £2765.92 (which is correct).

 

Adding £2765.92 to £5300 gives 8065.92 so the total amount payable is wrong by £100. However, total amount payable is not a prescribed term.

 

So 48 payments of £164.915 = loan + finance charge = £7915.92

48 payments of £3.125 = £150

 

£5300 paid as 48 payments of £164.915 is 23.5% APR (so they got that wrong - however APR is not a prescribed term for a fixed sum loan)

 

So, the answer to you question is that they have made several mistakes but the prescribed terms are in fact correct so the agreement is enforceable provided it is signed by you on the same sheet of papaer as this otehr stuff.

Sorry

 

I don't think you have paid anything over what you should have done. You paid (or will pay) 48 x £164.915 + £150 which is £8065.92. The fact that they say it is £8165.92 doesn't stop it actually being £8065.92!

  • 1 year later...
use the wilson case..admin fee/accept fee cannot be added to amount before calculating the monthly payments/interest.

the loan one is an unforcable agreement, they have charged interest on admin fee, please read the wilson case, and print it out.

 

I have an agreement for hire purchase dated 2002 ,on the agreement the arrangement fee,and warranty are totalled in with the goods and then intersted added .Also the agreement has a signature on which isnt minme .Which I didnt know until I requested my agreements from the company ,Buy As You View (Dunraven Finance limited ) .Interest charged at 40.6% . The agreement is a modifying a hire purchase agreement

Is this unenforceable ?

Thank you
