    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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 - thanks for all the useful info. I've just totted up my charges and they come to £360, now I'm unsure as to the interest on my overdraft at that period, so do I have to claim for that interest as well? Also who do I send the initial request for payment letter to? My own branch or is there a centralised place to send it to?

Hi blacksheep1979, I am intrigued, as I am Blacksheep!

NatWest, initially refused to send me my statements until I sent them £15.00. I asked again enclosing a cheque for £10.00 telling them that this is the maximum they can charge.

I waited, and waited and asked again. My first request was Feb 27th 2006, suddenly my statements arrived saying they had only just received my request, this was on June 27th. The letter was dated Feb 2nd (They probably wanted to give the impression my letter had been lost in the post). However the accompanying letter was dated Feb 2nd 2006, three weeks before my original request!

I will have to complian to the information commissioner now.

I have subsequently received my statements 3 tomes over, good luck with your claims.

PS I've just submitted a cliam in the small claims court for £1484.31 from Nationwide building society. Keep your fingers crossed for me

Regards

Blacksheep

Hi Blacksheep1979

 

Working out the interest can be complicated, therefore most people do not add it to their claim at this stage.

 

I suggest you send your initial request for refund to your banks registered office.

 

In the case of Natwest it is:

 

135 Bishopsgate, London, EC2M 3UR

 

Hope this helps

There maybe, but you would need to investigate the forum further in order to find out. I just sent mine addressed to "Customer Relations".

 

I also marked the envelope as being "Time Sensitive".

 

I suggest you use Royal Mail Special Delivery, that way you are guarenteed a signature, with Recorded Delivery you are not.

 

I hope this helps

Right got a reply

 

Dear Mr Anderson

 

Thank you fo your letter of 17 July 2006 and I apologies for any dissatisfaction caused by the application of charges to your account.

 

We believe that our charges are fair, reasonable and transparent

of course you do - you're getting money for nothing

 

We consider that the amounts debited to your account have been applied strictly in accordance with your agreement with us and our published tariff which we are satisfied complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

ok if you're sure they're ok - why haven't you ever gone to court to keep your money?

 

We are also committed to ensuring the transparency of the information that we give to our customers about the operation of our products.

 

We have considered the Office of Fair Trading's statement of 5 April 2006 aand do not accept its findings in relation to settling of credit card fees.

of course you don't as you lose out on some not so hard earned cash

 

We are concerned that the Office of Fair Trading has publicly called into question the setting of charges applied to other products, including current accounts.

yup you hate losing cash don't you

 

The Office of Fair Trading has restricted its investigation to credit cards and made no attempt to consult with the RBS Group or the industry in relation to other entirely different products.

different products - yes, but similar style of charges thats why you never contest it in court and whys hould they consult you, so you can try worm your way out of it?

 

Consequently, against that background, we must differ with the views you have expressed and will not be refunding any of the charges applied to your account

oh yes you will.....

 

I am disappointed to note that you are contemplating legal action against the bank.

yup as you will lose money

 

Whilst I hope you will feel able to reconsider, should you decide to go ahead, please ensure that any Proceedings are served on our Registered Office address, which appears at the foot of this letter.

 

I suspect that this is unlikely to be the answer you might have hoped to receive but nonetheless thank you for taking the time and trouble to contact us.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Stuart Higley

Actually signed - nice and I'm sure office and registered aren't proper nouns?!?

 

So I guess that means LBA time?

they really are daft if they don't pay out before small claims court time - as they will end up paying more, and whilst it isn't that much they still aren't being responsible to their share holders.

They must realise that all the identicle letters they receive are from here and that we all just don't give up - so they know where it is going....

Thats what I was going to do, but think its a bit odd that they didn't take yet another chance to try fob me off with the 'oh you agreed to it'

 

You're probably on the pile with the rest of us :D
