    • Your page numbers should run through your WX and exhibits so im concerned its page x of 9.
    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.

    • 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.

Sparkie,

 

I understand completely that you are going to see these law firms with your specific case in mind, but can I ask a favour please?

 

Mention their interest rate increases/LIBOR rate decreases/pegging them at a completely unreasonable level - can you ask if there is a case that they are abusing their position of power and if our loans can be considered to be based on an unfair relationship.

 

If they think its a goer, let me have their details and I will instruct them as well!!

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Don't you worry Marky it may "appear" that its just me .....IT isn't .......I have everyones cause in mind...... We are here to help each other and that is already in the file as a questoion ...I am covering all bases..... mine and everyone elses, where possible!

 

I have the LiboR rate from 2006 to date mate....have no fear,

I have the records of ...the monthly rate...... the 3 monthly rate and .....the yearly rate

 

They have got to made to explain that as they borrowed at a fixed capped ratee what authority or reason could they increase rates ...I now have records that they increased their interest every single month of the year on 12 different agreements that were taken out in the different months.of te year....without a doubt UNFAIR to everyone concerned

This what Mark White has got to explain.............the contradictory false deliberate misleading statements made here in his witness statement of TRUTH

If they had included the one off fees as he says the APR would have been shown as 15.4%

 

Summary be leading Law Firm on the Case

KJM Superbikes v Hinton [2008] EWHC 1280

This case therefore serves as a timely reminder to signatories to statements of truth and those advising them to ensure that the facts stated in the document concerned are true. A failure to do so can expose the signatory to criminal proceedings for contempt of court and if convicted, the sentence can include imprisonment, a fine and/or a seizure of assets. Not only that, but the credibility of the signatory as a witness will be destroyed and the Court is unlikely to accept as true other parts of his or her evidence. Witness statements and statements of case should therefore be read thoroughly before signature and amendments made to ensure that the document is factually correct.

That No.20 above looks rather incriminating too Sparkie...how can he say " All these costs were as a result of increase in costs of funds to Swift" when they borrowed at a fixed rate or are linked to Libor which was coming down?

 

mmm??? :cool: I hope he's a dexterous with his answers as he is with his Witness Statements.

Hi everyone

 

First Legal aid approved ...Barrister is engaged ..who specialises in possession case and Consumer Credit Law.

 

First step Setting aside possession order, application for an appeal ( NO problem seen with that particular issue.

 

The law firm has been in existence for over 40 years, Barristers Chambers a very old established one over 50 years, legal guy I saw today has been involved with possession cases for over 15 years, ( and previously worked for local govt in Housing etc Barrister over 20 years experience.

 

Will take all the way to High Court initial view 60/40 my side. Barristers opinion ASAP.

 

These people do not take private cases on ( the big money makin cases ) they do nothing else but legal aid............He said someone has to stand in the corner of the bottom section of legal assistance ...and they believe in what they are doing ...rememebr folks the legal Aid people do not pay all that much in hrly rates. Guy I saw not a young guy .....but one with lots of experience.... Relaxed a bit more now.

Sparkie thank god, at last a human being with some compassion. I have a friend who is now looking at Kestrel and Swift relationships and accounting. Will be happy to forward his findings to you. I do not have to pay for his time, but any disbursements. He is a wiz kid who once worked for Price Waterhouse Cooper, so hopefully he will spot anything in their book keeping that does not ring true. Hope your other half is feeling more relaxed too.

 

Take good care.

Excellent news sparkie, well done and I hope a victory is near for you :D

 

 

I would not say "victory" but what I will be doing is causing Swift some very BIG problems.........because I can now bring into play ALL that has transpired from the time I questioned the brokers fees the interest increases in May 2007......all and the misleading statements made in the previous hearin ....I was told if I have got the evidence then they will play a major role in my case......the Barrister will see to that...........and ...I HAVE GOT THAT EVIDENCE.

I'd like to second what Sparkie says: Everyone should read this OFT document. If you have complaints or information to share with the OFT write to David.Blocksidge, Head of Secured Lending Team at the OFT. [email protected] and Nigel Cates, Deputy Director, Consumer Credit Group, OFT. [email protected] .

 

 

The OFT do not reveal which individual companies they are investigating but they will be interested in hearing your stories. They are currently carrying out an investigation into firms who offer second charge loans. Blackie, maybe your friend's findings would be interesting to them too.

 

Even if you've complained to the OFT's general enquiries dept, I think it's worthwhile repeating your information to these guys directly. They will not intervene in individual cases but it will help build a file against Swift which can only be an advantage to everyone.

 

 

If you have complaints with the FOS or FSA encourage them to share the information with the OFT as outlined in their Memoranda of Understanding.

 

Keep fighting. :-x Still mad but Sweet :)

"Sweeterthanhoneyjane" ........(is her new name) ....................(I'm a creep really )............... spot on I first complained to the OFT about Swift in 2007 3-4 times and they had started to build the file then .....must be getting pretty big now so ...get writing with EVERY little bit of information you can provide about their tactics.

 

Backie gives herself that name because she has just started practising "The Black Arts" against Swift !!:D:D

People will be talking about us Sparkie :D

 

Here's the email I got from the OFT in full. Because they "are now approaching the end of our investigation" it is very important that everyone writes to them asap:

 

"Firms offering second charge loans must be licensed by the OFT under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Swift Advances plc and associated companies hold a consumer credit licence. Following a review carried out last year of practices in the sector the OFT published guidance for the industry ( http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/general/oft1105.pdf ). The guidance sets out the minimum standards the OFT expects from businesses engaged in second charge lending if they are to be considered fit to hold a licence. It covers the entire lending process including selling techniques, customer care, and practices around the management of arrears. The OFT also retains an ongoing monitoring role over the sector and, as a result of the concerns about the practices of a number of particular lenders, launched an investigation into their activities alongside publication of the guidance.

Our inquiry is focused around the entire lending process from the initial lending decision up to the handling of arrears and defaults and possession actions. On the latter issue, since October 2008 lenders have had to comply with the Pre-action Protocol for Repossession Claims and our inquiry includes how lenders have amended their practices to ensure compliance. We have already written to a number of lenders seeking further information to assess the level of consumer detriment in relation to these matters. We are now approaching the end of our investigation and expect to take enforcement action in the next few months.

We are interested in the information you may be able to provide to us, and I have asked the Secured Lending Team to get in touch with you. David Blocksidge, the head of the Secured Lending Team, is copied to this email.

Due to statutory constraints on disclosure of information relating to ongoing investigations we are unable to comment on whether or not Swift and linked companies are among the companies subject to our investigation and enforcement action. Once our action is completed it will be made public."

Can everyone do me a favour and go back to my post 2091...........where Mark White explains ( or tries to) in his witness statement the interest rate.

Mathew Payne had said in his statement of truth that the interest rate was 10.3% at the statrt of our loan...I queried it .so

Mark White said that interest was calculated at 0.82% per month and this works out at 10.3% so both are correct.........NO matter how I try I cannot make 0.82% Multipled by 12 equal 10.3% ......................it comes to 9.84%..................even if you do it on a 13 month basis it comes to 10.66.

 

Am I missing something ?? Can others check please?

Taken from sweetjanes letter from the OFT

 

"Following a review carried out last year of practices in the sector the OFT published guidance for the industry"

 

The OFT issued guidelines for secondary lending ages ago....Do/did Swift take any notice of that ...NOT in the slightest they completely ignore it..........and as seen by the speed they possessed our house in 24 Days they took no notice of the latest guidelines either.

 

That's how big they set themselves up to be. They put two fingers up to the OFT.

Had an immediate response from the OFT won't go into details .but called the person who wrote it and when I told him that Swift have now asked for an income and expenditure details AFTER possession.....that really took him a back little HIs words " They did this AFTER the possession order............why did they do this " I said I do not know ......and that it took them just 24 days to get possession.

 

He said he was off to a very important meeting and would call me back tomorrow without fail.
