    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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

On the 01/09/2005 made an agreement with Welcome Finance that they would accept 36 consecutive payments of £150 as payment in full of a hire purchase agreement no 1523039. which is £5400 - luckily i kept of copy of this agreement as they lost theirs!!

 

I managed to pay 31 of these payments then defaulted. leaving a balance of £750

 

When welcome finance contacted me about this they said I owed them £3,585.97.

 

 

I made another payment of £150 at this stage and asked for a statement of account to be sent to me as i disputed the amount.

 

To me the balance is £600.

 

I have received the statement and they never changed the amount owing at the 01/09/05 when i made the agreement with them so in their eyes i still owe £3585.97

 

as they have the amount totally wrong and I still have the agreement that I made with them am i still liable for the difference?

 

If not how do I go about this????

 

Any help would be appreciated as I have to ring them on wednesday with further payments.

 

Thanks

Sort answer is if they haven't got a copy of the agreement, they cannot enforce the debt.

 

CCA them and watch them suffer!!!

PS NEVER talk to a finance company or collector on the phone.

Dear Sir/Madam

Account no

With reference to the above agreement, I would be grateful if you could send me a copy of this credit agreement. I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974(section 77-99) I am entitled to receive a copy of my credit agreement on request. I enclose payment of £1 which represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act.

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act, creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the act.

I look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely

Send a £1 Postal order, and DON'T SIGN' just print your name. Send it special delivery. They have 12 days from receipt of your letter to send your agreement (or not as the case would be!!:D) Once the 12 days are up they are in default and you don't pay them anything. Good luck:)

Thanks I am going to send of the CCA tomorrow, what i need to know is if they send back the original agreement, and say that the second agreement i made with them in order to clear the debt is invalid as i didnt pay all of the 36 payments as promised do they have the right to reinforce the first one??

 

This is where i am confused:confused:

Their statements confirm what i have paid

 

Im not explaining this very well this is why its confusing

 

My original debt with welcome finance was for a greater amount that £5400 but due to problems in work etc I managed to get them to agree that 36 payment of £150 which is £5400 would clear the debt in full, but i only paid 31 payments.

Because i defaulted on the 36 payments have they got the right to re-enforce the original amount?

Mr.ton, sorry but im not sure where you are coming from here, the first agreement was signed by me in their showroom when purchasing a car., after not being able to keep up with the finance agreement i negotiated a second agreement with them in full payment (which was considerably less) still secured on the vehicle. Now i have defaulted on this agreement the statement that they have sent to me appears to be the amount owing from the first agreement and they do not acknowledge the second agreement anywhere within the statement.

 

None of this has been done through court so i really dont know where i stand:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Shazbeb..what is difficult to understand by what i am telling you? :confused:

It doesnt matter what you have or havent signed & when etc...i seriously recommend that you bring this matter to a head once & for all by stopping all payments immediately & that the matter be sorted out in a county court - that way you can tell them everything that has happened, produce proof of what you have paid if you have it & then let the CC decide what is best for you.

Welcome finance are only interested in their profits, so if they can lie & cheat with you, thats what they will do.

So let a CC sort it all out once & for all, who will be on your side and take the power away from Welcome Finance once and for all.

If they have to go to court then thats fine I can do that i have all agreement etc and receipts for all payments made.

 

Last post if you can confirm that they have to go to court in order to seize my car!!!

 

Thanks in advance:smile:

If you have receipts & proof of everything then thats great - the CC will be able to tell that Welcome Finance have been in the wrong & rule in your favour.

For anyone or any company to take any sort of actions, it has to be authorised by a court 1st.

The laws of this country are there for a reason, use them to your advantage ;)

Have composed a letter stating that after receiving the Statement of account from them I am not making any more payments or taking any more phone calls from them regarding this account until they comply to my request for a CCA, as their statement does not acknowledge that second agreement made by them, therefore the balance owing is considerably more.

 

Thanks will keep fingers crossed
