    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.

    • 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

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice or if they have ever experianced this.

I have a 22k loan with Natwest its £450 a month over 5 years.

I had the loan topped up for my wedding.

The wedding has sent me spiraling into debt.

My 2 overdrafts are maxed out as are my 2 credit cards.

I am now incurring huge interest and bank charges. Natwest told me they had closed one of the accounts but it seems they havnt.

They advised me to speak to the National Debt advice line as i was having trouble meeting the payments.

I have been with the bank for 24 years and they have made huge amounts of money from me over the years.

The stress has led to my and my new husband seperating for a short time and i went to a branch near work to ask for help either reduce the payments or take a payment holiday.

They were absolutly no help.

I have no equity in my house and cannot take a morgage holiday as i had one for the wedding and you can only get it once every 18 months.

Do you think i have any chance of pushing them to get a payment break on my loan or reduction in payments.

They said they could put me on a hardship loan but its nearly double the interest and i have to surrender my gold account and perks and it flags on my credit file PLUS it is only £12 less a month than im paying now!

The gov have bailed them out but yet they wont help their loyal customers im so mad.

:mad:

Desparately sorry to hear this situation LLY, As usual banks will give you a nice umbrella when the sun is shining, then when it is raining they take it away !! firstly be warned that if you miss payments on one account they can (and likely they will) offset any money in credit or within overdraft limit (sometimes they will offset and go over this !!) towards let's say an overdue loan payment, so it might be worth setting up a parachute account.

 

It might also be worth a call to the National debtline as they are impartial and the service is free - National Debtline – Free, Confidential Debt Advice – Call 0808 808 4000

 

Also are there a significant amount of excessive charges that you could potentially reclaim back over the last 6 years ?

 

Is there a PPI affixed to the loan ?

 

If they are being unreasonable and not accepting reduced payments within your budget, then a CCA request may be an option BUT, Natwest might see this as a possible 'threat' and pull all the facilities away from you...

Hiya thanks for the reply.

I tried to get hold of CAB but found it difficult i will try the National Debtline. Can they negotiate with Natwest like i have heard the CAB do?

Is it worth getting an account with a different bank. I have everything with Natwest but my morgage.

There is no PPI.

I did a claim in 2008 for bank charges but to be fair until the last year or so i was in control of my finances but following a wedding which grew massively its got out of hand.

I dont think i will go down the iva route as any of my bonus' and pay rises will disappear into the iva.

I cant do bankrupcy as i will lose the house and car.

Aghhhh i hate debt but im happy i found this site

A misconception with BR is you automatically lose your home. If you have no equity then it'd be pointless to force a fire sale of it. Similarly, if you need a car, and it is 'modest' and you need it for work, the same applies. There are some good threads on BR in these forums, iirc they may be in the legal section.

 

PS: iirc, if what you pay in mortgage for your current 'modest' home matches (or thereabouts) what you'd have to pay in rent for a similar property then that would be in your favour. But if you lived in a 6 bedroom palace that was OTT then that wouldn't be in your favour, its that sort of thing...hope that helps.

Hi,

 

I have experienced something similar to this with Natwest as well....

I have a loyal customer of Natwest for abt 15 yrs, and they too have made alot of money from me sometimes charging me £250 per month for failed DD's, bounced cheques and exceeding my overdraft limit, knowing full well that funds come into my account every friday on a weekly basis (I'm self employed)....now I have reached a point where the excessive charges and interest have pushed the debt into such a mess that I cannot pay it. Plus this is a joint account with my wife....

 

I had requested a payment plan whereby I could pay what I could afford but they were very unreasonable and not willing to assist...numerous letters have gone back and forth and now their solicitors are involved, and they have chosen to ignore all my previous correspondence to Natwest and issued both my wife and I with a CCJ claim.

 

I am now with a debt management company who are OFT registered, but Natwest and their solicitors are not interested....I'd like some advice on this as well....

The BR thing is intersting. My house is classed as negative equity and i only pay £350 a month for my morgage. My car is an 07 astra at £160 a month and required for work.

It would cost more in rent than my morgage. I have never had any problems with my morgage which is with Halifax and they are lovely.

I sent Natwest an email but they havnt responded.

How do i go about putting on an offer of a decreased settlement?

I have just spent 20 minutes on the phone to Natitional Debt advice line and no luck getting through. Im going to try after work. I dont want to ring at lunch as i will rack up a high mobile bill.

Is it true that BR is better than IVA?

there is some blurb here:

http://http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7669115.stm

 

maybe it would be a good idea to do a financial striptease and place an append in legal issues and let the more experienced comment, or visit an IP, presumably some may do a 1/2-1 hour free consultation, similar to solicitors.

I have tried to ring the debt line 3 times today and cant get through it rings for 9 minutes and then cuts you off.

 

Any ideas people ?:???:

 

Oh and NatWest have not replied to the email :-|

 

I would have thought emailing Natwest a complete and utter waste of time. Is Credit Management Services in Telford dealing with it (the Natwest delinquent account dept). I've had many dealings with them. It's pot luck who you get hold of I'm afraid. Some may have PMT issues, another I spoke to was in hysterics when I read out over the telephone what it said in their letter they sent me (sic) "please call our highly trained and experienced staff" but as it turned out she was very positive and helpful.

I've been treated exactly the same as you guys, by Natwest. I've been a good customer for 30 years, maintained perfect accounts, always in the black. Credit crunch hit my business this year; I need a few months grace to get back on my feet and can give them a sensible repayment plan. They refuse to negotiate:mad:

 

Gordon Brown should have let them go to the wall - I would love to see all their vicious employees unemployed and struggling with money worries: It would be the most poetic justice.

I spoke to one of my contacts at Natwest Pudsey in Leeds today and told him the situation basically said sort it or i will go bankrupt and you get nothing. He has told me to come see him next week and he will see if he can put a payment plan in place. So i guess its reduce payments and freeze interest? I will let you know. They still havnt replied to the email i sent a few days ago suprise suprise

This may be important !. It is unclear from your previous appends what the CCA situation is. So be very careful you don't sign an agreement (or whatever) that supersedes an unenforceable agreement for an enforceable one. They're crafty (or disingenuous) take your pick.
