    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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, I had a letter today off HBOS saying that they have terminated my agreement because "I have failed to repay the requested amount by the date shown in the notice".

 

I posted the DN above, and as you can see the last date for payment is 19th August, but on the new letter they are saying that it was the 10th August? I'm totally confused now as it's still only the 5th anyway??

 

Can someone advise please?:confused:

Hi Maybelate

 

I trust the original DN allowed 14 days to rectify the breach inc service.It clearly states before the 19th August.They have terminated the account too early IMO and therefore forefit their right to claim the full balance.

Have you made any approach to them with regards the DN and breach ie payment plan ,F/F/S?

If they have not responded to your requests just retain the DN todays letter and any paperwork for your requests to resolve.Should be fun if they attempt any litigation.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy, thanks for looking. I was considering a F&F offer, but haven't done so yet. I have sent several letters requesting a payment method, as they have terminated my current account I cannot pay by card or cheque and the standing order was also cancelled, so I have been asking for a payment book, but they just wouldn't give me one, and now they have terminated the account, way before the date that they gave me to receify.

 

Is it best to contact them and advise what they have done or jost wait and see what they do next?

 

Regards

Maybe:D

Hi Maybe

 

Ok the Account is now terminated,they have refused to correspond,I trust you have other banking facilities in place.Have you made correspondence since the issue of the DN and have this recorded?

Do nothing now disregard any F/F/S and totaly isolate them as they have you.They may pass it to a few DCAs but you will be ready as the account is in dispute.They may consider litigation straight off and issue a summons,but you are more than ready and prepared for that also.

Sit tight build your case go through your papertrail and wait to pounce.

 

Regards

Thanks Andy The only correspondence I have made since the issue of the DN was to ask for a payment book to bring the account up to date, but I didn't send it recorded. I sent an SAR on 16.7 (which they have ack. receipt of), I was awaiting the SAR documentation before making an F&F offer.

 

Is the account in dispute now because of the termination being too early?

 

Thanks again

Its in dispute as far as litigation is concerned,you would have to confirm Maybe if it was before the DN was issued.

Hi Andy, thanks I'm having a blonde day today:DHere is the series of events:

 

I asked for a copy of the CCA before DN issued (1st post) which had incorrect interest rate.

 

I sent several letters requesting a payment method before DN issued

 

1 letter sent to request payment method after DN issued

 

SAR sent before DN issued

 

Thanks Andy

Hi Andy, thanks I'm having a blonde day today:DHere is the series of events:

 

I asked for a copy of the CCA before DN issued (1st post) which had incorrect interest rate.Therefore unenforcable but they have complied

 

I sent several letters requesting a payment method before DN issued.So no response and therefore Account assumed in dispute

 

1 letter sent to request payment method after DN issued

So you responded as per their advise on the DN and again they failed to respond to you

 

SAR sent before DN issued (40 days and they are indefault)

 

Thanks Andy

 

I would say it was fair assumtion then that the account was in dispute pre litigation.The iceing on the cake is their termination not allowing you the prescribed period to rectify.

Sit Tight and prepare.;)

Thanks again Andy. Is it best to just wait though or should I go defensive and report them to FOS, who will be able to see how quickly they have terminated?As they would get the information BEFORE the date on the DN:)

Hi hope you don'y mind me butting in but I would get someone to calculate your apr again using dual calc.

 

62 weeks is not perculier i.e. 60 weeks + 2 weeks holiday! and it can also depend on when you started paying one month or 2 months after youve received the money. Halifax and BOS played around with words.

 

Check what it says in the signature box, check that there is no 2 week holiday included - both of these can alter the APR drastically.

 

Sorry I am not proficiant enough to do this for you

Hi, No you're not butting in, any advice is useful. I will check the rates again, but I'm not sure how significant it is now that they've terminated the agreement.:)

If it goes to court, then you may want to use the APR to invalidate the CCAgreement.

 

I have this somewhere, I will try and search it out. It goes something like this

 

Apr is not a prescribed term but if it is stated it must be correct

 

again off the top of my head it must not be out side the following tolerrances -0.1 +1 of a percent

 

Hopefully a more learned person will confirm this

That is quite true what you state Kel.I would consider myself quite learned in these matters and a such, inline with Maybelate opinion, the argument would be far better served on the invalid early termination point from a litigation angle however your valid point is of interest but im not sure a DJ would concern himself on such a minor point to rule in favour of the claimant on that point alone.

 

I trust the above clarifies my reasons.

Why hit with one when you can hit with two. A card in your back pocket is not worth a jot, if it's not used. I do agree about the premature termination but I would expect them to have that covered, but by increasing the balance of probabilities there is a better chance of success

I do not class my self as learned, I only put an opion over based on my own experience and of reading threads across a few sites. The object in this situation is to instill dought as to if it is a viable propersition to take this to court. I too have an Halifax loan, the APR is incorrect, it is in their mis-use of words, particularly in the signature box! A couple of DCA's have tried but nothing for about 3 months and we are 18 months down the line, They may in the future decside to take me but who knows.

Kel Im not disregarding what you state as a valid point,I do take exception to be referred over by "Hopefully a more learned person will confirm this"

 

As you state I do agree about the premature termination but I would expect them to have that covered then im sure they will also have an invalid APR/Interest rate covered also.However the OP is aware of your advise and as reflected that this is not particulary significant.I am in agreement.

 

I think in this instance and at the point of veering off thread in Maybelate thread we let this matter drop.

Sorry I did not mean any reference to anyone in particular only that I am not proficient enough to work it out given the variables. I will remember to put in 'than myself' in the future.

 

I would have thought the termination letter was computer driven and as such programed to time scales Again I am not refeerenceing to anyone but I would re-afirm dates etc.
