    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • I want to add my 2 cents here...  The purchase of this debt, Perch Group dont absolve themselves of liabilities from the Original Creditor. They should be responsible for dealing with this complaint in response to an Irresponsible Lending dispute.  If the balance is disputed as such in that way - Then they should be referring to the Original Creditor where applicable.    Also if your complaint was written in a way where a template wasnt used or it was rewritten to a similar effect where it wasnt recognisable - Then you probably would have stood a better opportunity at it not getting rebuffed.  To be honest those - Perch and TM Legal are a waste of Oxygen and will say anything to get you to pay.    Ditto on the template. Where did you find it?  Please keep in mind we have to unravel what you have done till now and help build a formal response.

    • 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 Guys,

 

We have had numerous problems with Welcome Car Finance and have been told by people on here that our agreement is unforceable (welcome don't seem to think so). We were phoned on monday by an account manager about why we haven't been paying our account when we "agreed" to a payment plan in February, we didn't they took the money from my husbands bank card (visa electron) and left us overdrawn and unable to pay the insurance and tax for the car and refused to refund it back to my husbands account and basically told him to drive the car with out tax and insurance. She then discussed my husband issues and agreed to look into the account and send us the information. Today we received the info and according to her all of their calculations are right we owe them the full amount (still over 6 grand) and need to contact them a.s.a.p to make arrangements to pay. They have also offered us a 50% discount on the account if we "manage to accquire the money" and pay it in 21 days.

 

My question is :- Why would they offer us 50% discount on the account? If they were sure we were wrong wouldn't they just default us, repo the car and then take us to court for the money owed?

 

We have paid 1 or 2 payments in about 18 months as they are in default of the account from a previous lot of letters that they haven't responded to.

 

Any help or advice about how to go with this will be greatly received.

Hi

 

My husband and I, like lots of others on here are having LOTS of problems with Welcome Car Finance.

 

Long Story fairly short

 

April 2005 needed a bigger family car. Seen an Espace in a local garage. Went in and got the car on finance with Welcome through a "friend" of the garage owner. Thought everything was fine and dandy apart from the APR but needs must so we got the car. In May 2005 husband had a very serious brain operation and I had to leave work to look after him and our then 3 children (I was also pregnant with #4). Tried to use the PPI but was told we couldn't as we weren't eligible to use it as I was working for a temping agency, then was told we should of never got the finance because of this too. Needless to say we missed payment had charges added ect and couldn't afford the monthly payments. Had loads of problems and they then wanted us to sign another agreement for the balance left over another 60 months. Didn't sign because I had seen the type of tactics they use because of this site. Asked for the CCA then but never got it. Didn't pay for over a year as we couldn't afford the payments and no one contacted us about it. Now being rang everyday for payments - husband gave his card details to them as he was told could contact them to make the payment and if we couldn't pay they wouldn't take the money, ha ha ha they took the money. We contacted them to ask for the payment to be returned but they basically said there was no chance. Decieded to CCA them.

 

We received a copy of the loan statement with all our payments and charges and a printed copy of the agreement. Pictures by mummy_of_Five - Photobucket

 

Is this agreement enforceable as they have added the acceptance fee to the rest and I think it has then getting interest added on it? We paid them for 3 years and missed the fourth, as explained above, but we still owe them just over 6 grand.

 

All help and advice would be gratefully received as I think they are trying to take us for a ride with the amount we still owe.

 

Thanks

Sorry I don`t know if I`m doing the right thing here, but it seems Mummy of Five caught the attention of post and Andie 303 ( anybody know how she is)? And then didn`t follow up on whether the advice had been taken. Or what any outcome of this advice was.

 

I think some one could help a little more here. Mummy seems happy enough to do things her self, but may be a little push in the right direction from the likes of your good self pwg or post et al, would be sensible idea, before she attempts further contact via email.

 

Sorry if poking it in, at the wrong time as they say.;)

 

Cheers, MARK

hiya.

 

i probably wont be about much tomorrow, but will be about the next night, just name a time after 10ish and i'll be here to talk.

 

We haven't really done much. We CCA'd them (as above message) and have tried SARing them. No info was recieved by us and the postal order wasn't returned so i dont know what happend with it. I have tryed to complain to a guy called Pete Ball in central recoveries, after i recieved a letter from him about all our information on the credit reference agencies was correct (we didn't ask for it), but he told me that all the info was right and that basically he wasn't going to do anything bacause the account has been sent to the DCA, and that any problems with the PPI need to be sent to the complaints department.

 

We haven't paid them anything in about 18 months and the only things we have recieved is the letter from mr Ball and a letter from a DCA. We haven't even recieved a default letter yet, but i'mm guessing they have defaulted it.

 

any help or advice on what to do next would be really appricated

 

Thanks Lyndsey

Are we still requiring email addresses for Welcome? I have for Compliance, Complaints & PPI Refund Team if it helps

 

Post them all up M8. I can`t see a problem with that.

 

It will give them something to keep them busy for a long time. I shudder at the thought of answering all those Emails. lol. They may even keep somebody on to do that. lol.:D

 

Cheers, MARK

Welcome Finance are the most annoying company i have ever had to deal with, i have been in disspute with them for 2 and a half years in which the same time i have not made a single payment to them, lots of threats to take me to court but no real action, rang them didnt want to speak to me, so brill i now chase them and i meen buisness chasing. I got some legal advice...found the fair debt collection practices act and found out they have breached my contract of finance with 18 breaches of loan sharking and harrassment and physical abuse.....big no no, so im now taking them to a magistrates court to clear my credit file and debt and a sueing payment to me for the stress of chasing them, so began proceedings sent them letter...do not reply to me if you agree you have breached my contract of finance with these clear unlawful breaches by such a date to reply...guess what no reply sent them second letter telling them when court dates were, got a post dated letter from them for the first letter...great thing about this is royal mail stamp date on letter when letter processed letter post date dont match by far the date on stamp by royal mail, now got them in court for fraud aswel. the moral of the story is, thats how far and stupid welcome finance will go. there is an email address if you ring up and speak to the right people, personally send royal mail recorded letters nothing can be defrauded.
