    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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 have a problem with a loan from Provident. I had 2 original loans with them for approximately £400 each which i struggled to pay and kept falling behind. The area manager then turned up on my door and suggested she had the solution to my problem, to put both agreements together on a new loan so that i could pay a lesser amount over a longer period of time, as i was desperate for a solution i agreed and signed on the dotted line. I have now since been struggling to pay this each week and have again fallen behind. I have been looking at the new agreement to see if there is any way of trying to find a way out of it. I had read somewhere on here (but i cant find it now) that the procedure is that someone from Provident would have to have discussed the new proposal 24 hours before getting me to sign for it, which they didnt. Also on the agreement (CCA) there is nothing wrote on the boxes 'Total charge for credit' or 'Rate of interest'. Just wondered if there is anything i can do about this? Any help or suggestion would be most welcome as i am stressed out about this and afraid to answer my phone as they keep ringing and the area manager has been round again although i was at work.

If you could scan the agreement and post it on here (minus your identifying details and we can see if it has been correctly executed.

 

As for the arrears, all you can do is offer what you can afford, if they don't like it too bad, if they take you to court they will still only get what you can afford. Don't let them bully you in to paying amounts you haven't got.

found you:p

 

added your 2 account outstanding balances together.so you pay less each week because they have extended the repayment time.like from 50 to 80 or some equal crap.

 

they have also added their interest on the one large amount.again.at £60 for every £100 outstanding.

 

usual for provi is £160 payback on £100 at £3 per week for 50 wks.

 

both of your 2 original loans of £400(actuall £640)

started at £1280 and £24 a week.

 

let me know what the 2 outstanding balances were,for every £100 owed they have put another £60 on.they have helped their selves not you,you owe more than before:mad:

reduced payments should have been excepted untill your balance was clear.

 

am presuming that each seperate balance was BELOW £200

 

PM me again if you dont feel comfortable doing it on this thread.

What looks wrong about it. This isnt a normal Provident Credit agreement for a loan. Its what they call a Solve issue which is where they consolidate loans or generate a new agreement to cover the balance you owe on one loan. This isnt anything that will benefit you other than you will only be paying the reduced payment and they wont hassle you for more so long as you are paying. As a customer not paying the full amount you are costing them money with being 'bad' debt'. They get charged for this and it screws their figures up so this is their way or fiddling the figures to make it look like they have made a sale and they will now have reissued you from a bad customer to a good customer.

There are charges for credit andinterest pre printed because a Solve issue carries no interest. There are zeros in the boxes. Provident agreements are now watertight. They were all recalled from agents a year or so ago as they were wrong. Something to do with examples of paying the loan off early but I cant remember exactly. They are very careful now.

they are very very careful with teh agreements and even a spelling mistake mean they will throw out the agreements. Even if you are on a "solve" agreement, as long as you keep paying something (even if its not close to the full amount) they wont set the dog on you.

Hi,

sorry not been on for a while ive been on a long stretch of nights.

 

Just wondering if then, from what 'longroad' has said, that the agreement is in order? Only i dont want to get into an agreement with them at the moment if it is wrong with them not putting the interest on the paperwork.

 

Also i have still for in my head what i read somewhere on here, about that they are supposed to discuss the agreement with you 24 hours before they get you to sign, which did not happen in my case. Like i said, the area manager turned up on my door some months ago when i was struggling to pay suggested putting the 2 loans together to make one. I just signed this is i was about to go to work and was in a hurry.

 

Any help or advice would be greatfully appreciated.

Ok getting fed up to the back teeth of Provident and need to offer them lower weekly payments as there is only one person earning at the moment and we have 3 children who are of course our top priority.

Thing is the agent will turn up moaning if I offer lower payments as she has done in the past and then the damn area manager will turn up for a moan also.

Is there anybody here who could offer me a template letter telling them I have to reduce my weekly payments and will not and do not appreciate agents turning up on my doorstep,I will send the letter to head office who can then deal with area manager/agent themselves.I currently pay them 40 quid a week which is 20 quid lower than I should but now can only offer them 20 a week and even that is a struggle. :mad::mad:

Would appreciate any help xxx

 

Also my repayments are for three loans and my partners is for one,anyway i can suggest they put all mine together would that work?

Would appreciate any help xxx as long as you pay £1 on each per week.they will not and can not do anything.you tell them what you can pay.

 

Also my repayments are for three loans and my partners is for one,anyway i can suggest they put all mine together would that work?

 

NO.NO. NO.and do not do it if they suggest or you will end up owing more.they merge and then charge another £60 for every £100 owed:shock:

 

have you another way of paying if the agent no longer calls?and deal direct.

 

 

or would you still be happy for them to call,once reduced payment was sorted.
