    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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

Here is a letter for you to look at.

I did not hink it good idea to play the unenforceability card just yet .See what they come up with first.

 

Without Prejudice

 

Date

 

Your name

Address

 

 

Their name

Address

 

 

Dear Sirs

 

Re rescheduling of account no************

 

Thank you for your recent correspondence dated **/**/**** regarding the above.

In order to expedite this matter i would request that you sen me an itemised statement including agreed rebate for the PPI instalments and interest calculated up until the account was first in dispute and using the statutory formula.

 

If the ballance requested is acceptable I may then consider refinancing for that amount in order to settle.

 

Yours

Hiya razor sorry to here your problems with Welcome Finance.

 

Ive been reading through different sites the last few days, and Welcome seem to be the company that all members hold the greatest evidence for illegal practice.

 

Shame all cases couldn't get heard together for a mass complaint.

 

Best i can offer on the thread is, Never ever think Welcome will be doing anything to improve your circumstances , as they do not and never will.:Cry:

 

They rewrite purely not to let you fall off their monthly income sheet.

 

Stick to your guns and don't let them wobble you one bit, they are bullies and nothing more.

I agree with fuzzy - WFS are out for 1 thing only, to make money out of those who can least afford it.

 

Just a quick question - have you involved the FSA or FOS

 

I have had a run in with WFS - got my £8k balance wiped - I too borrowed £5k, paid £7.5K and they still wanted more - but they failed on a cca request (or knew it was unenforcible and decided not to send it me) and agreed to wipe the loan, but after that, they were impossible, they put a £8k default on my credit file, took it off, put it on, and I have now (after nearly 3 months) managed to get them to correct the info.

 

If you have a chance, hit them where it hurts, your outstanding balance!!!!

 

Just for info - I copied in the FSA/FOS/FLA/OFT/TS/ICO and made welcome aware of it.

 

Good Luck

Hi

In order to give you the option i have drafted this, i do not know whether you wish to pursue them for money paid into the account or say, fair enough, you have the money back you loaned but since the agreement was inproperly executerd you are not entitled to any other interest or charges itemised in it, in either case you just need to include the extra information at the end of the letter.

I have also included the the relavant sections which will stop them invoking the use of any security whithout a court order to enforce the agreement.

 

Dear sir

 

RE Account No.***************

 

Thank you for your recent correspondence and offer to refinance the above account.

 

The above action is I take it an admission that the previous agreement was improperly executed due to the erroneous inclusion of the ppi insurance within the total credit calculation.

 

You will of course be aware that this error renders the agreement enenforceable under section 65 and section 127(3) of the consumer credit act 1974.

 

Also in order to conform to the agreement regulations of the act there should be included a figure indicating the Total Charge for Credit, the absense of which renders the agreement enforceable only by order of the court also by section 65.

 

You will be aware that any attempt to enforce securities mentioned within the agreement would constitute a breachof the act, as section 106 renders the security ineffective via sections 113 (3)c and 65.

 

In view of the aforementioned I will be making no further payments on this account

 

 

Best regards

Peter

In what way is the account in dispute?

 

ongoing dispute with them since nov 2007 , regarding them trying to get me to sign a new contract with them , since a got them to take of PPI on the account , now they have offered me a 50% discount on the ammount owed

 

which I refused because they have been adding interest on to the account since its been in dispute

 

my new payments were to be £132 for 18months = £2376

 

they have been adding the interest so they say a owe £3900 odd , so they have offered me to pay £1900 to close the account , i said this ammount was wrong if its half its only £1600 less £300 compensation they said they would give me which they have never did , and i have the letter to prove it which i sent them still they will not give me it

ive noticed that you have only done two posts, both prasing welcome.

that is unheard of.

people who come onto this forum are in the norm at whitts end and have reached a deadlock with welcome.

 

for the record

 

i have had dealings with chris palmer and can confirm that he is indeed polite and professional.

its a shame about the rest of the staff.

also, the way i had to get info from welcome was through legal action, as the norm, correspondents get lost or they ignore you.

 

welcome do not resolve complaints unless they are backed into a corner, so forgive me being suspect, nothing personel, you have given no details of your complaint and two posts says it all

Well The Fee Being A Charge For Credit Is Included With In The Loan,

The Loan Is Then Unexecuted As The Agreement Is Crap

 

So No Agreement

No Debt
