    • Morning dx and thank you for your message.   With regards to your comment about them not needing to produce the deed, the additional directions ordered by the judge included 'a copy of any assignment o the debt or agreement relied upon'  so that is why I thought that point was relevant?
    • Sorry for the long post but I don't want to miss out any relevant information: My wife bought a car from Trade Centre UK and have been having nothing but trouble with it. Unfortunately we paid of the finance used to buy the car as we weren't expecting this much trouble with the car as we we though we would have protection as buying from a dealer. We are wondering if we can still reject the vehicle since the finance plan has been paid off. Timeline is as follows: 13/12/2023 -15/12/2023 Bought car from Trade Centre UK for £10548 £2000 deposit paid on credit card on 13/12/2023 £8548 on finance from Moneybarn (arranged through Trade Centre UK). picked up car on 15/12/2023 Also bought lifetime warranty for £50/month 25/12/2023 Engine Management Light comes on. The AA called out and diagnosed the following error codes: P0133 - Lambda sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) Oxygen Sensor. Error Message : Slow reaction. Error sporadic P0135 - Lambda sensor heat. circ.(bank1,sensor1) Oxygen Sensor. Error Message : Component defective Due to it being Christmas took a few days to get through to them but they booked me in for 28/12/2023 to run their own diagnostics. 28/12/2023 Took car in to Trade Centre so could check the car – They agreed it was the Oxygen Sensor and Booked me in for repair on 30/01/2024. I was told they had no earlier slots, and I would be fine to carry on driving car when I said I was afraid of problem worse. During diagnosing the problem, they reset the Engine Management Light. During drive home light comes back on. 29/12/2023 - 29/01/2024 I carry on driving the car but closer to the date, engine goes to reduced power every now and again – not being a mechanic I presumed that this was due to above fault. 20/01/2024 Not expecting any more problems paid off the finance on the car using personal loan from bank with lower interest rate. 30/01/2024 Trade Centre replace to O2 sensor (They also take it on a roughly 60mile road trip which seems a bit excessive to me – I can’t prove this as something prompted me take a picture of milage when I handed car in but I forgot take one on collection – only remembered next day.) 06/02/2024 Engine goes in reduced power mode again and engine management light comes on – Thinking the Trade centre’s 28 day warranty period was over I booked the car the into local garage for the next day to get problem fixed under the lifetime warranty package. Fault seems to clear after engine was switched off. 07/02/2024 In the Morning, I take it to local garage who say as the light gone off – the warranty company is unlikely to cover the cost of the repair or diagnostics and recommend I contact them when the light comes back on. In the evening the light comes back on and luckily I manage to get it back to the garage just before it shuts for the day. 08/02/2024 The Garage sends me a diagnostics video showing a lot error codes been picked up by their diagnostics machine including codes for Oxygen sensor and Nox Sensors, Accelerator pedal and several more. Video also shows EGR Hose not connected to the intake manifold properly, they believed this was confusing the onboard system as it is unlikely this many sensors would trigger at same the time but they couldn’t be certain until they repaired the hose. 13/02/2024 Finally get the car back as it took a while to get approval and payment for the repairs from the Warranty company. Garage told me to keep an eye the car as errors had cleared with the hose but couldn’t 100% certain that’s what caused the problem. 06/03/2024 Engine management light comes on again. Fed up I go into Trade Centre as I was just around the corner when it happened and asked them how to reject the car or have the problem fixed. They insist that as it’s over 28 days I need to get the car fixed under the warranty package I purchased and they could no longer fix the car as it was over 28 days. When I tried telling them it appeared to be the same or related problem they said they couldn’t help as I hadn’t contacted them earlier. I asked them if they were willing to connect the car to the diagnostics machine and tell me what the problem was, as a goodwill gesture, which he agreed to do and took the car to the back He came back around 30 minutes later and said they took a look at the sensor they replaced previously and there was nothing wrong with it and engine management light went off when they removed the sensor to check it. When I asked what the error code he couldn’t give me an exact fault but the said it one of the problems I told him earlier (Accelerator pedal). I have this visit audio recorded on my phone – I informed the reps I was recording several times. As the light wasn’t on, local garage couldn’t book me for a repair under warranty. 07/03/2024 Light came on so managed to book back into local garage for the 12/03/2024 Whilst waiting to take car into garage, I borrowed a OBD sensor and scanned for errors on the car. This showed the following errors: P11BE – Manufacturer specific code (Google showed this to be NOX sensor) P0133 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow 12/03/2024 Took car to local garage and the confirmed the above errors. This leads me to believe that either Trade Centre UK reps lied and just reset the light or just didn’t check properly (Obviously I am unable to prove this) 22/03/2024 Finally got the car back as according to garage, the warranty company took a long to time to pay for the repairs 28/04/2024 Engine management Light has come back on. Using the borrowed OBD scanner I am getting the following codes: P0133 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow P2138 - Accelerator Position Sensors (G79) / (G185): Implausible Correlation I have not yet booked into a garage as I wanted to see what my rights are in terms of rejecting the car as to me the faults seem related. I can’t keep using taxi or train to get to work every time the car goes into the garage as it is getting very expensive. Am I right in thinking that they have used up their chance to repair when they conducted the repair end of January or when they refused to repair it in February ? If I am still able to reject the vehicle could you point to any sample letters or emails I can use. Thankyou for your advice on my next steps.
    • Ok noted about the screenshot uploads. In terms of screwing up I had one previous ticket that defaulted and ended up in a CCJ from Southend airport because for some reason during COVID I didn't receive their claim form just a notice of default. This hospital ticket was the 2nd ticket that went to CCJ due to a lack of knowledge of the process. Maybe it's easier just to pay them in future I'm thinking though, I don't get them very often anyway

    • 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.

Anyone dealt with the lovely people from the funding corporation?

I have had a constant headache from them, anyway can anyone take a look at the attached c/a, I would like to know if this looks enforceable and also can't get the figures to tie up, I have been told that as this the PPI and loan amounts are not shown seperately this is a unenforceable loan:

 

PPI (which is useless) £1860.00

Amount of credit £10000.00

Intereset £5073.00 @14.9 apr

 

5 years @ £282.23 per month

 

Also after months of letters and phonecalls regarding the PPI they finally agreed to cancel this but my payments only dropped by 81p per month, (no refund either)

 

Be grateful for any suggestionfccreditagreement-1.jpg

I think the PPI cannot be just added to the rest cos you would pay interest on that over the term and then it would not be the sum shown - I am sure others will come back also on this question but does look similar layout to others found unenforceable so hold on for reply:)

Thanks for the reply!

 

Received a letter from The Funding Corporation yesterday, this is what they had to say:

 

"The Payment Protection Insurance you have purchased is classed as a linked transaction to you loan.

It cannot exist on the finance agreement without the principal loan. Consequently it is not a separate agreement and is not required to be detailed as such.

I can confirm the credit agreement you have signed is compliant with the CCA 1974".

 

 

Can someone help me, is this correct or are the F/C trying to fob me off AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Yes its a personal loan from May 2004 and that was all the paperwork that was sent, After weeks of sending letters regarding the enforceability of my agreement (the ppi and loan amount being lumped together and not shownseperately) The Funding Corporation have totally ignored all letters and emails and have failed to give me an answer, I have now stopped paying and now I get constant phonecalls to both mobile and home, (I have sent them 2 harrassment letters and 2 emails advising them to stop but they are relentless and still continue.

I have wrote numerous letters requesting answers to my query above but choose to ignore these.

I have now been sent a letter from Roman Recoveries (same address as The Funding Corporation), saying if I do not pay within 7 days they will:

 

Get a court order under the attachment of Earnings to deduct money from my salary

 

Send a baliff to take goods to the value.

 

HELP!! Can they actually do this, I have sent all letters recorded delivery and also taking times and dates of phonecalls.

No Panic Pinky

 

Seems You Have Done The Biz And Backed Them Into A Corner.

 

Send A Letter By Special/recorded Delievery To The Funding Co, Enclose A Copy To Roman Recoveries.

 

At The Top Of Your Letter Put

I Dont Acknowledged This Debt To You Or Any Other Company

 

Tell Them Any Actions By Roman, The Funding Co Is Responsable For There Actions As They Are Acting Under The Funding Co Instructions

 

Now Tell Them This Letter Is Subject To Your Complaints Procedure And Require A Response Within The Time Frame Perscribed By Law

 

You Now Consider This Account To Be In Dispute.

 

They Cant Put The Loan And Ppi Togeather, Period

How Was The Ppi Paid

Was It Front Loaded In One Go

Knowing This Lot, Would Not Surprise Me

 

Where Are The T&c

Any Default Notice

Statement Of Account

Statement Of Means Ref Ppi

 

Say If You Receive No Response Of Acknowledgement With In 14 Days A Complaint Will Be Sent To The Oft And Fos

 

 

Ill Drop In Later

 

Boy Have They &&^%* Up

 

Only A Court Can Do Those Things

 

Dca Do Not Have The Authority Of The Court

Though They Think They Do

 

Pure Dca Crap As Usual

 

Just Thinking About This To End It For You

 

Tell Them As Well As All The Other Things Mentioned You Consider The Account Unenforcable For This Reason

 

Ppi Was Added To The Loan, There By You Are Paying Interest On It,

The Ppi Is Not Part Of The Original Loan So The Agreement Is Crap Ref

 

Wilson V FCT

 

You Require Also On The Ppi Statement Of Means The Part In The T&c Telling You The Ppi Would Be Front Loaded And That You Would Be Paying Interest On It.

 

If They Maintain The Ppi Is A Linked Transaction With The Loan, Where Is You Sig As Consent For This And Are The Above A High Court Judge

 

 

Did You Ever Receive A Ppi Policy Doc And Who Are The Underwriters

 

I Ask This As The Funding Co Went Into Micky Mouse Car Finance And A Lepoard Never Changes Its Spots

Thanks for all your good help!!!!!

 

Yes it was lumped together with my loan, been paying as one payment every month, I will write back to them and include the details you advised.

So the letter they sent saying that this is classed as a linked transaction to my loan is that another load of rubbish they are telling me?

They eventually did send me a leaflet on the PPI I had been sold which seemingly was bronze cover which is a life cover policy, which I would not have taken as myself and husband both have adequate life cover, I think the underwriters were AXA.

 

Cheers for all your help, feel more confident taking these cowboys on now.

pinky

 

what i am after is the statement of means

 

its a document pre check list o see if the insurance is sutable for you

 

for instance

 

you could be a sky diver who smokes 100 cigs a day

 

its a legal requirment

 

i know these so called car finance cretins never did these

 

if the insurance is part of the agreement, it calls the whole agreement into question if there is no statement of means

 

dont get me on to the undisclosed commission payments also

 

thats to come

No nothing like that, the cheque was hand delivered by courier, and did not have time to read over paperwork before I signed, also I was self employed at the time, and they did not ask to see my accounts.

The agreement you have and the amount you pay is bang on the same as mine.

 

Totally unenforcable. I am on my way to court with the muppet corp, Barrister has gave me a 90% chance of winning, writing off £23,000 and claiming back up to £5900.

 

If you want to discuss it in detail, pm me as i dont want to put the details on a public forum until i win my case.

 

, and papers they sent, contradicted themselves.

Still determind not to pay up until they give me what im looking for.

Hi Postggj, Just received a letter from the F/C today in response to the letter I sent them containing the advice you had advised previously, they quoted the following:

 

"The Credit Agreement is laid out correctly in line with Regulation 2(8)/(9) of the of the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 (as amended). This requires to only show the principal heading and signature box.

 

I am unsure what you refer to in this point. Please provide clarification.

 

No commission payments were made. Our underwriting process is fully your automated and no underwriting sheets exists.

 

I trust this answers tyour questions and look forward to you bringing your account up to date".

 

 

ANY HELP WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT MOVE

 

 

CHEEERS XXXX
