    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • I want to add my 2 cents here...  The purchase of this debt, Perch Group dont absolve themselves of liabilities from the Original Creditor. They should be responsible for dealing with this complaint in response to an Irresponsible Lending dispute.  If the balance is disputed as such in that way - Then they should be referring to the Original Creditor where applicable.    Also if your complaint was written in a way where a template wasnt used or it was rewritten to a similar effect where it wasnt recognisable - Then you probably would have stood a better opportunity at it not getting rebuffed.  To be honest those - Perch and TM Legal are a waste of Oxygen and will say anything to get you to pay.    Ditto on the template. Where did you find it?  Please keep in mind we have to unravel what you have done till now and help build a formal response.

    • 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.

i have just been reviewing my mums natwest account with her...she had 14 months of a loan left to pay and exceeded her 500 pound overdraft by 220.21...total od standing at 720.21...

they called her in to the branch to sort it out and informed they could readjust the figures to sort things out for her she agreed as she thought it best..

i will now state the figures from the loan sheet

amount of credit 720.21...cash loan for refinance debt this bank

repayment of exsisting loan 12029.79

insurance loan 3134.00

total credit 15884.00

interest 4129.60

admin fee 0

total payable 20013.60...

now look at this...she was missold insurance she was unaware of...

and basically the cost of sorting out 720.21 o/draft is costing her an extra....wait for it...

7263.60 including insurance.:eek: :eek: :eek::mad: :mad: ...is this looking after her interests???

I don't think there is anything illegal about it unless you are suggesting some fraud was commited or there is some other information you haven't given us.

 

However, some or this may be unlawful but it is difficult to say without further information. If the £720.21 overdraft was made up either partially or completely from charges then these would be unlawful, which may put questions over the rest of the loan.

 

Also you haven't advised how you have come to the conclusion that she was mis-sold insurance.

she was not informed of the insurance in its entirety,does not require insurance as she gets paid if off work ,so if it had been explained fully she would have realised it was an unrequired policy and declined its need, and was quoted the loan figures including the ppi and not being fully compliant with bank issues and insurance costs proceeded unknowingly...

there are enough issues regarding ppinsurance abounding most debt boards and cab boards to make your own mind up about this issue.

and clearly aside from all of this how can the bank defend that this is remotely in anyway in my mums interest financially??? a 720.21 debt turning into 7263.60 in extra cost.

You'd be suprised at how many times if you ask nicely for something that has just happened it will get sorted - maybe not something from 3 months ago but last few weeks maybe. However if you go in there shouting the odds and spouting laws etc then all you'll do is get peoples backs up and where once they might have helped you (even when they didn't have to) you now find them hostile and unwilling to help.

 

Does it cost you anything to try and be civil with the bank first? Maybe seeing your sarcastic response to my attempt at help shows where you might have been going wrong when people try to help you.

She should be able to get the insurance cancelled. It's her policy, so she can cancel it any time she likes - it's not like Motor insurance which carries a lot of legislation with it.

hi to every one who has replied and thanks for the info it really is kind...regarding sarcastic i feel that is a little harsh!! the situation is that this refinancing was carried out over 24 months ago, not yesterday as it may appear..

whilst she may be able to cancel the loan insurance now, and likely get a refund for unused cover,it seems we are missing the point...

the bank have turned her over and in there infinate wisdom have solved a 720 quid overdraft by selling her a loan with insurance that is going to cost a further

£7000 pounds odd more to repay for the sake of 720 quid!!!

my point is duty of care, and putting aside the missale of the insurance and the fact the odraft was made up partly from unlawful charges in the first instance, how can anyone in there right mind consider that this is any way just!!

i wonder if the 2006 finance act that is due in sept i believe? will make this loan unlawful or unjustifiable? perhaps bringing it in front of a judge as the new act will permit them to make a decision on its merits would be worth considering?

Your problem is your mother accepted it and unless she is mentally handicapped (no offense meant) then you don't have a leg to stand on. If she agreed to paying back £x for having the £720 added to her loan then the long and short is she agreed to it. This would be the same as if you bought a car that was worth £2000 for £20000 - if two years later you went back and said 'hold on a min this car aint worth that much' you wouldn't get very far (and this does kinda happen with people getting cars through the likes of yes with 30% apr).

 

Its really harsh and I feel for you/your mother but she did agree to it and at the end of the day you may be able to cancel your insurance but I doubt you will be able to cancel/rearange the laon.

I think you may have your figures somewhat wrong

 

repayment of exsisting loan 12029.79

insurance loan 3134.00

total credit 15884.00

interest 4129.60

admin fee 0

total payable 20013.60...

 

The interest and everything else is on mostly the original existing loan of £12029 - unless you have agreed to some rediculous rate of interest or it is over 50+years you will never see £4129.60 interest on £720.21 that would be an interest rate of 100% for over five years, or a more realistic interest rate of 10% for 60 years.

unfortuantely its an attitude like that which allows the banks to continue these unlawful practices.....not everyone is compliant with the laws and actions of what is and what is not legal or unlawful regarding bank charges ..perhaps you may have made no mistakes in your life and not had reason to question afterwards what you have done!! sadly for both me and my mum we are only human and due to this have made mistakes as have so many others on here and been misled by banks and other bodies you are made to believe are trustworthy.

It seems that your mum could of been mis sold this, It may of been that she did not understand what they intended to do.

 

Is it not this way -

 

She had an existing loan of £12029.79

And an Overdraft of 720.21

 

It seems, But I'm not an expert, she then got a Loan for £12750

 

Then

 

insurance loan 3134.00

total credit 15884.00

interest 4129.60

admin fee 0

total payable 20013.60...

 

So basically, She has been sold a new policy, and starting off again with payments

 

It would of been cheaper to get a loan for £1000, pay it off a year - would'nt It

 

Is this what they call a consolidated Loan?

thank you for your reply sophie jane...that is my point exactly!!

the loan they consolidated was in its final 15 months of repayments, so as you are aware that is when you start reducing the actual loan payments as you pay the interest first on most loans and the capital borrowed last....

Selling a loan is not unlawful, and my attitude is such that I read what I sign before I start paying for it - it is not my way that has landed you here it is the fact that even after being explained the loan and having it laid before her your mother signed it.

 

You say you were mislead by the bank, yet in an earlier post you said that your mother had 'all figures quoted to her' so how is this mislead - she was told what she was borrowing, was told how much she was to pay each month and more than likely how much she would pay in total.

 

The whole point of this is that surely she was given the 12k again (if it was a new loan) or they are sumarising how the loan now is, slightly updating the interest and insurance?

On your mums account, has she had Charges, if so, She could claim that back, and as the loan was taken on because charges had made her OD, then I think (please advise) that she Could challange the validity of this consolidated loan

A loan agreement with a designated interest rate is different than contractual obligations that relate to bank charges - in the contract with your bank regarding your account you agree to pay all costs that they may incur due to missmanagement of your account ie bounced cheques etc, it is the fact that they will not give their costs that we can claim back what they have been charging us.

 

Now your mother is paying interest as a fee for a service it is a completely different matter. If you cannot understand these differences you will stand little to no chance against the bank.

i fail to see where you are coming from on this blacksheep...the fact that bankcharges are applied unlawfully does not stop the banks from making these charges...as is the case with being missold protected payment insurance policies, they were sold to the consumer without the full terms and conditions of the policy being explained to the consumer and have since under the guidance of the oft have been compelled to introduce a customer care proceedure to follow when selling ppi to ensure customers are made aware of this policy...

given also that this loan was also arranged to amend an excessive over draft position which was caused either partially or fully by unlawful charges i am unable to see where any advice you have given to assist these people on the forum is in any way beneficial. surely this exceptionally good site is to assist in helping these people who have been put in these awful positions to overcome and challenge these dubious agreements?
