    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 everyone,

 

I took out two loans in 2001,

 

the first was with Welcome Finance and

 

the second with Norwich Union.

 

The Welcome loan was for £1300 but I was also sold "optional" payment protection for £344.67

 

and Healthcare for £170. the APR was 57.1%.

 

The norwich Union loan was for £1000 but they also added "Norwich Union Creditcare Gold"

which came to £369.50.the APR was 21.8%.

 

When I look at the loan agreements now I'm amazed to see that the Welcome loan ppi/healthcare comes to 39% of amount borrowed

,and the Norwich Union loan creditcare gold comes to almost 37%.

 

The Welcome loan has been paid but I'm repaying the Norwich Union loan to Cabot(who have bought the debt).

 

Does anyone know if I have a chance of reclaiming these ppi's.:confused:

Yes indeed you do, get you claim in pronto ;) it was massively mis-sold and was just a money spinner for the financial sector.

 

Read the links at the top of the PPI FORUM loads of info there to get you on your way.

 

Good Luck

 

If you need more help or advice post here and someone with the knowledge will be along.

Hi everyone,

 

Today I phoned the OFT regarding claiming back PPI.

 

I was told that any agreements prior to 2005 were dependant on the finance/credit card company

being members of the General Insurance Standards Council,

 

if the company was not a member of GISC it could make any claim difficult.

 

Does anyone have any info regarding this matter.

Hi, The FSA regulates PPI from Jan 2005, prior to this it was regulated (to an extent) by the GISC. Insurance companies did belong to the GISC but Finance comapnies were not compelled to to join.

Ask the Insurance company if they were members of GISC

I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner.

------------------------------------------------

Bank charge successes:

Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.

HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did :mad:

PPI Successes

PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.

2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

 

PPI Claims ongoing with:

Cap one Now with the FOS

Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

 

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Post 290 from

***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

 

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

the advertisements, the claims management companies – and most of the lawyers don't understand the principles involved here and therefore they don't know what your talking about.

 

If you claim the refund of payments on PPI which has been mis-sold to you, you are seeking the return of money paid under a mistake. The six years limitation period begins from the date that you appreciated the mistake or the date that you could reasonably have done so.

 

This means that if you only realised that PPI had been mis-sold to you, say, three years ago, then the six-year period began from that moment which means that it would have another three years to run.

 

If it was only reasonable that you could have discovered the mis-selling now, then the six-year period begins now and runs to 2017.

Thanks Bankfodder,We have had several loans over the last ten years or so,also a couple of credit cards.Can you tell me if there is a step by step guide to reclaiming PPI. From what I can gather it seems more complicated than the bank charges were.

The claim is not really all that complicated at all Joe.

 

Assuming you do not have copies of all the agreements, your first step would be to send a Subject Access Request (SAR) to your creditors.

 

This is a legal request for them to provide all the information they hold on you as a data subject.

 

There is more information about the SAR on the PPI homepage sticky entitled "full sar for ppi"

 

Once you receive all the documents give us a shout and someone will be along to help you with the next step.

 

Don't forget to send the letter addressed to the data controller at the creditors registered address and post it special delivery, keeping a copy of the receipt as proof of postage.

 

Good luck

Beware i got my loan and PPI from Welcome finance and wasted an entire year exhausting thier complaints procedure . Getting no response i contacted the ombudsman who ordered Welcome to issue a final response .

 

The response stated i must direct my complaint to Bluesky Personal Finance and to this day i have no idea why ? something to do with broker ?

 

Bluesky Personal Finance

Tintern House

William Brown Close

Liantarnam Industrial Park

Cwmbran

Gwent

Anyway i wasted a year writing to Welcome , then another year writing to Bluesky , then another year writing to the Ombudsman , and this week i lodged a complaint against the financial ombudsman service because i am convinced the director actually owns both bluesky and welcome and so it is he whom ripped me off to begin with .

 

Its been a total waste of time for me but i wish you luck .

Hi everyone,I complained to Welcome Finance in August re PPI,today I received a letter from them (Final Response) they state that my complaint "is outside the relevent time limits."

They go on to say that "The rules of our regulator(FSA) state that where a complaint relates to an event that took place before 27 February 2003 we are not required to investigate your complaint.Sales of insurance made before this date were the responsibility of the insurance provider,not the broker who sold it"

They say as a result they have not investigated my complaint,and that if I am not happy with their decision I should deal with the FOS..within six months.

I really detest these bottom feeders and would be grateful for any help.
