    • Morning guys As Bank suggested, I've now re-worked my POC to include details of my parcel's original loss,  miraculous rediscovery a month later and subsequent delivery, albeit having been opened and the contents removed. Grateful for your thoughts please, as (P2G having gone very quiet) I intend to initiate court proceedings against P2G tomorrow - 1 May. Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing 8 second-hand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and whilst Evri collected the parcel for delivery on 18 March 24 they then ‘misplaced’ it a day later, formally declaring it lost on 27 March. On 16 April they found it and delivered it on 17 April but, at some point before delivery, it had been opened and the contents removed . The defendant refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is also in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80  
    • Odd one this, I recieved 2 notice's for the 18th and 19th April stating that I overstayed on Wigan Robin Retail Park. Permitted Minutes 180. They state I was there 355 minutes on the 18th and 388 minutes on the 19th. Both times I was there around 10 minutes getting my wife a brew from costa after dropping the kids off at school.  On both days I had passed through there a second time around 3pm, again to get a brew then left. Both notices have 2 images each, Entrance and exit.  This is the interesting bit. The Entrance images both timestamped actually clearly show I am exiting the retail park not entering it. And the exiting images they provided show me leaving the carpark after visiting a second time later in the day. In the attachments You'll see all 4 images show that I am exiting, none of them are of me entering. I understand most if not all that see this post won't know the area but if the look at the map link i gave you'll see the road I was on leading up to the main road. g24 ltd 1.pdfg24 ltd 1.pdf GoogleMap view of the road I am on in the entrance images I would have had dashcam footage but I since formatted the memory card. I tried recovery tools but I couldn't get the files back.  
    • An update: I just got another PCN. I get the feeling that someone in the residence is calling OPS, as it's dated for a few mins after I parked. I won't appeal of course. Interestingly, our cleaner was also parked but didn't get a PCN. I asked them why and apparently they're whitelisted. I did ask the MA if they could whitelist me and they said they couldn't. Clearly they decided not to tell the truth. Surely, this would resolve all of the issues entirely i.e. we'd keep non-residents from parking, whilst allowing for residents to park without issue? Also, could OPS now take me to court for both PCNs separately, or could it be one case?

    • 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

 

GMAC RFC announced on 29 Sept 2008 that all their sales force are to be made redundant by the end of the year! - and not currently writing any new business in UK.

 

Anyone had a GMAC mortgage which has been sold to another lender? - and what your experience was of the transfer?

 

GMAC had sold a tranche of mortages to Bradford & Bingley - and we know what happened to them! :)

I think you may find that most sub prime lenders are not taking on new business at the mo. Mainly because they deal with the "high risk" customers they can no longertake thatchance as they are becoming even highre risk.

I am with KMC who Bradford were suposedly buying loads of mortagages from but I believe it fell through. I dont think it wouold change an awful lot as you will be just going to anouther sub prime lender. Tyhey are always changing comapnies regardless of the recession , sorry credit crunch

we were with GMAC, but they sold it to MAS number 5. They seem quite good. This was about 18 months ago though.

WE WERE WITH GMAC AND WAS THEN SOLD TO MORTGAE EXPRESS WHO ARE PART OF BRADFORD AND BINGLEY! NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW THOUGH, p.s. just a grip!! THEY HAVE NOT PASSED ON AS YET THE INTEREST RATE CUT FORM LAST WEEK, SO UNFAIR.

GMAC-RFC is changing its strategy in order to work through difficult market conditions and is currently in transition to form an international asset management company, responsible for managing over 16bn of mortgage assets. They will lend in the future but this won't happen in the short to medium term.

MAS number 5, is a company owned by Platform Homeloans which is a 100% owned subsidiary of Britannia building society. Most probably WMS would be servicing your mortgage.

My Gmac Fixed rate finishes next july . Anybody got any idea what is likely to happen then ? The paperwork says I'll go onto a high rate (Libor + 3%) unless I renew with a different deal or move my mortgage, but as I'm at 90% now and property values still dropping I'm unlikely to be able to transfer elsewhere .

I am also with GMAC and it runs out on 30th Nov . Payments are currently £1059 but will go to £1289. This was before the rate cut. Are they likely to pass this on? My broker says that there are no alternatives at the present. Anybody got any advice?

Its better to live one day as a lion than a thousand days as a lamb!!!;-)

No 2 company trying to make me bankrupt going under, I had my main mortgage with GMAC, and secured loan with London & Scottish who are now in administration - the news gets better and better!

 

I suppose I could do the 'moral' stance and offer 1p in £1 or £1 per £100 but they took my house and both owe me in fees and charges - so I will settle for no collections activity on their behalf as full and final...

Im with them too - based on Libor and only reviewed 3 monthly, when i called to see if the rate would be dropping i was told it would be reviewed the first week in december - fingers still crossed

 

 

Im not sure it is based on Libor. All my rate cuts have been passed on without waiting 3 months. Tends to be a month or 2 later.

Hi folks, I have a mortgage with GMAC currently and im finding it hard to keep up repayments at the moment. Im 2 months in arrears.

 

Ive been reading various articles about GMAC recently however and it seems a possibility that they might file for bankruptcy themselves!

 

Could someone please tell me what happens to everyones mortgages if this happens to GMAC ?

 

Many Thanks

The mortgage will probably have already been 'sold' onto another company and be serviced by a third party, at least my research into this suggests - I may be wrong but nearly all GMACs mortgages were SVP types dressed up as 'sub-prime special deals' and nearly all got transferred to another company after the initial 'deal' period finished - sometimes before.

Thanks for your reply.

 

My mortgage is only 2 years old and I have not been informed of any change in ownership of my mortgage at anytime.

 

Is that normal or does that mean GMAC have not sold my mortgage on ?

 

And if they do still have it and they go into liquidation does anyone know what happens then?

Do the liquidators sell the assets ie mortgages in blocks to the highest bidder? or do they keep it in GMAC or holding company until the fixed rate period ends, has anything like this happened before.

 

Many thanks in advance if anyone replys

GMAC has been suffering the credit crunch for sometime. Last year, they withdrew a number of already approved mortgage offers causing applicants problems. If the current situation continues, the company could go into administration.

 

I understand GMAC has made a large number of its mortgage workforce redundant effective 31st December 2008.
