    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

Nope,

 

All I have had in response is another letter saying that a team manager is looking in to it and that they are greatful for my continued patience blah blah blah.

 

I have also revieved a letter saying they have charged me £10 for default sums lol.

 

I am guessing as the company is in turmoil at the minute looking in to my complaint is the last thing on their mind!

 

Might send a letter saying that as they have yet to respond I am assumming that the case is closed and the agreement has been cancelled with immediate effect or words to that effect!

I wouldn't even bother with anyone at branch level if i were you.

 

Ring and get the number for the Compliance Team,

run through everything with them (even they are hard work),

then scan all the evidence you have and send it to them

- give them 28days to act on what you have said.

 

If they settled a loan of that size that was not yours then you paid interest on a non existant sum.

They are going to have to rebate you n what they have taken plus the contractual rate as applied to thier own agreement with you.

they will have to remove all the charges obviously also.

 

Tell them if they do not reply or act with 28 days you will issue CC proceedings forthwith and without further notification in order to recover your money.

If they don't comply issue proceedings for all your money back with interest. thats what i would do.

 

I once asked a question of an welcome account manager pertaining to an account i had

- i felt they had had too much of my money lol.

 

He said oh you must of had charges,

i said don't be silly my friend you know full well i have not incurred a single charge in 4 years

(he's looking at the computer screen ffs).

 

Oh yes he said i can see that now.

 

I said "so why have you over charged me"

- his final comment " I DON'T KNOW "

 

these people working in the branches can be total retards

- just go round them, when i did a cheque arrived in under a week!!:)

 

A final word of warning - NEVER sign anything without at least scanning the document - ideally tell the salesman to Fook Off for 10 minutes while you inspect any agreement.

Hi all,

 

I'm in a bit of a pickle with the company named above.

 

I have had a few loans with welcome and renewed them as many of us have.

Then I got into a bit of difficulty paying them so renewed on different terms.

Once again my circumstances changed and I couldnt meet the repayments.

 

I got the usual welcome hassle such as phone calls and home visits.

 

I went in to the branch to sort it out and noticed that they had signed an agreement to renew a loan that I didnt agree to....

. it was very obvious as the signatures werent even similar!

 

I spoke with the account manager and expressed my displeasure and he said he would look in to it.

I didnt trust him so I wrote to the compliance dept and they just said they are looking in to it.

 

Next thing I know a couple of months later I get hit with letters from a DCA regarding the account.... thanks welcome!

 

I checked my credit file and they have issued me with a default

 

What can I do to sort this out before they go to court?

 

I am so miffed at them as they have hit me with a default on a fraudulent agreement and without writing to me first!

 

Any help would be greatfully appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

MJ

I had loads of problems with Welcome Financial Services,

please see thread: http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/credit-reference-agencies/203042-welcome-financial-credit-reference.html

 

for the address of their data controller and write to them directly

- "go for the jugular" as I have heard someone say on this site.

 

Welcome do not give any leeway when you are having problems,

so if they are having "problems" and "finding" paperwork with a signature you do not recognise then you need to do as the previous poster

has mentioned and ask them for a SAR, and then keep a copy of everything they send you and also of eveything ou send them.

 

Also, a very important note:

use recorded delivery, otherwise they have a nasty habit of "loosing" mail.

 

Even if your recorded mail gets returned a couple of times,

 

stick to it and persevere and you will come out of it in a better position.

 

Good luck and keep us posted!

MAKE SURE YOU USE RECORDED DELIVERY for all letters you send.

 

Make sure you tell them that you are disputing the account and keep a copy of all receipts for letters that the post office give you and keep a copy of all letters - from you to them and also from them to you.

Good Luck!

Ste

 

P.S. This is what I would do...... Make sure you get more advice before doing anything and check anything I say with someone more qualified in this area. This is only my opinion.

I might sound paranoid, but they managed to loose 8 of my letters..... 2 of which I took into the local branch, handed to the manager and got a written receipt for!

Never talk to them on the phone either, if they do call and call send of the Telephone Harrassment letter to them. Mind you, even that won't stop them calling, so if they do call, lay the phone down, go make a cuppa, potter about the house or even sing a song in an off-key for about 10 minutes, then hang up on them ;)

 

If you can, record the calls.

That's not paranoid sjl2, that's the correct process - recorded.

 

They do lose letters on a regular basis.

 

But I would never deal with a local branch (assuming there are any left) - they are just commission fed monkeys. Compliance at Ruddington is the only address to serve documents worth using.

Hi there,

 

MKDP have been in touch saying I owe then approx 4k for a welcome loan.

 

I sent them a prove it letter. Today I have received a copy of the agreement but the signature on the agreement has not been signed by myself, welcome have signed it but signed it using my name - the signature is not the same as my signature.

 

I think what has happened is I got into a bit of difficulty with them a while back and they tried to get me to re-write the loan but I never went in to sign anything, I verbally agreed with the agent that I would call in to sort my payments out.

 

Are they allowed to do this? Should I call them and setup a repayment plan to prevent getting a CCJ?

 

Many thanks

 

MJ

You shouldn't make any agreement with WF; if it isn't your signature, they have committed fraud. You should write to them advising that it is not your signature and that you will not enter any agreement until it is investigated. Advise you will contact the police and FOS if you don't receive a satisfactory response.

please scan up all the agreements and statements you have

 

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc using paint program

but leave all monetary figures and dates.
