    • Hi, I have found this group very helpful hence I am here seeking help and advice.   I got myself into a situation where I have now more than £50k in unsecured debts (personal loans & credit cards) and things are now getting out of control as I am struggling to make payments. This is purely my own created situation and I am taking 100% responsibility for it. I am keen to get out of this situation as soon as possible hence I would appreciate any help and advice in this process. I am employed at the moment and don’t want to risk going into IVA or bankruptcy as this would risk losing my job. Being sole bread earner of my family, I cannot afford to lose my job. I have been trying to keep up with the payments so far and had few missed payments instances until 3/4 months ago but got caught up with missed payments somehow using my savings. All my debts are still with original lenders. However I know I am getting into same situation again shortly and won’t be able to get out of it again. I have started exploring Debt Management Plan (DMP) option through StepChange but haven’t submitted it yet. Based on budgeting, I have around £820 available to make payments to all lenders after taking care of all other essential expenses. This is definitely lot more affordable than what I am currently paying to different lenders. 1. Is DMP right option for me in current situation? 2. what are the negative consequences of availing DMP? 3. is there something else that I can do to get out of this situation? I’m determined to clear out all my debts but need bit of breathing space and time. Let me know please if you need any additional information. Thanks in advance for all your help and guidance. MM

    • 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.

'Wicked' loan shark guilty of rape

A loan shark who raped an impoverished customer and threatened to petrol-bomb another woman's house has been convicted of 18 charges.

1101922962-wicked-loan-shark-guilty-rape.jpg#200,200 Loan shark Paul Nicholson has been convicted of 18 offences including rape, blackmail and …

 

 

 

Paul Nicholson, 39, squeezed hundreds of thousands of pounds from the vulnerable, even telling one distraught debtor: "Your priority is to pay me, not feed your kids."

The former bouncer, who has convictions for possessing a stun gun and supplying steroids, forced one woman who owed him money to perform oral sex. Detectives later found pictures of her half-naked on his mobile phone.

While his victims were scraping together money to satisfy his 125% interest rates, Nicholson's four-year reign of terror netted him a Land Rover, a Porsche Carrera and a move from his £170,000 home to a palatial house worth more than £1 million next to a golf course. Between June 2007 and last March he collected £648,000.

A Warrington Crown Court jury of five men and six women convicted him of rape, 12 counts of blackmail, lying about his criminal record, operating without a licence, acquiring criminal property and two counts of assault. He was cleared of one blackmail charge.

When police searched his lavish home on Golf Course Road, Delamere, Cheshire, they found stacks of loan records, two horses, £26,000 in cash kept in boxes and a pair of tights, and a knuckle-duster in his Porsche.

Hearing the verdicts, powerfully-built Nicholson jumped up, shook the reinforced glass and bellowed at the jury: "You have made a mistake and f****** ruined our lives."

His girlfriend, mother-of-one Tracey Rogers, 38, helped run his "wicked" empire from their home and she was convicted of blackmail, operating without a licence and acquiring criminal property.

The couple, who targeted more than 800 poor people across Widnes and Runcorn in Cheshire, will both be sentenced at Warrington Crown Court on March 20.

I'm sure there will be a job going for him with Blair Oliver Scott/Credit Solutions/IQOR/Wescot/Lowells/First Credit/Moorcroft etc etc when he gets out.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Sorry Fred,

 

Its got to be Mercers aka Barclaysharks or 1st Crud I reckon for a job, be out in 5mins no doubt given the fact theres no space available.

 

Fair enough. I'm just making the point that he is obviously an exceptionally nasty b****** and therefore ideal material for a debt collection agency.

 

Regards.

Please Fred, don't go putting ideas in their heads:D

Seriously, am I right in thinking anyone with a crim record cannot be on the staff even? Or is it just the big wigs who are exempt?
