    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx
    • Npower and Scottish Power and others have always had regulations that require them to treat customers fairly - the threads here and my experiences demonstrate that those regs are little more than useless.   Even Octopus recently spent month after month saying they needed to increase my monthly payments despite my credit balance slowly going up TWICE I had to reset it online back to prior payment as they unilaterally increased it unilaterally. Raised formal complaint and they than said i was paying too much and reduced the payment, again without my agreement, although that time at least they told me they were doing it.   .. and Octopus has been one of the better ones.    
    • Thank you. You left all your personal details showing on the invoice, but I've removed them. From Googling it seems the free parking is limited to one hour.  You stayed two.  There is no point appealing, you did overstay.  That's apart from the fact the private parking companies are just interested in £££££ and never accept appeals. We have other Iceland cases, Iceland as a company refuse to have these invoices cancelled. So it's up to you. Pay £51 and the matter goes away. Or refuse to pay.  Horizon very rarely do court.  We would support you all the way.

    • 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 am currently in the process of claiming back my PPI and various issues with welcome finance.

 

I took out an initial loan of £500 with £108 PPI added. 6 months later i took out a further loan with a further £260 in PPI added which settled the first loan but the original PPI was added in the amount to settle.

 

How come i was not offered a rebate on the first lot of PPI but instead had to pay for a policy on a loan that had ben settled early?

 

Any help and advice would be appreciated on this as i have been screwed by this company in more way than one.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I am currently in the process of claiming back my PPI and various issues with welcome finance.

 

I took out an initial loan of £500 with £108 PPI added. 6 months later i took out a further loan with a further £260 in PPI added which settled the first loan but the original PPI was added in the amount to settle. Do you have the documentation to show there was no refund on the original PPI and that the outstanding amount was just transferred to the refinancing loan ??

 

How come i was not offered a rebate on the first lot of PPI but instead had to pay for a policy on a loan that had ben settled early?

 

Good question but sadly one I cannot answer without seeing copies of any documentation you may have.

Any help and advice would be appreciated on this as i have been screwed by this company in more way than one.

 

Thanks

 

 

Send a Subject Access Request asking for all the data on both the first loan and the refinancing loan and any other data they hold on you.

 

Ask for the statements on the loans in fact here are two SAR templates for PPI reclaiming..... Full SAR for ppi

 

and also here....Data Protection Act 1998 - Subject Access Request

 

You can be specific with what data you request although the Subject Access Request is really asking for everything. The Statutory fee is £10.00 Postal Order is fine but keep the details of the number for future reference. The post office will be able to confirm when it was encashed (just call 01246 542091 they will even send written confirmation if you request it) Send all correspondence by at least recorded to be signed for so you can track delivery through Royal Mail

 

You should request the following documents:

 

A true copy of your Consumer Credit Agreement with the Terms and Conditions that were applicable at the time you took the loan/card/mortgage.

 

Copies of all statements applicable to the loan/card/mortgage.

 

Copies of all correspondence that apply to you as a data subject ie letters, emails, faxes etc.

 

Copies of all recorded telephone calls or transcripts of the recordings.

 

Copies of any notes made by bank/loan company staff in their dealings with you as a data subject.

 

Do not be fobbed off by them citing issues such as relevant filing systems.

 

If they have any records/data on you as a data subject and it is held under your name, address, post code, account number/s or any other system where the data is identifiable to you then it is a relevant filing system. Even if it is a specific serial number on microfiche records and the serial number is applicable to you.

 

Once you get the data you will be able to ensure there was no refund and then you can claim you PPI premiums and interest back not forgetting the 8% statutory interest as well.

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.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have already made a SAR and received it a week or so ago. For some reason they have not included the loan statement for the first loan showing the payments etc made on that loan. Will have to ring them to find out why.

 

I will post the 2 agreements for you to have a look it when i get in this evening. It is not just the fact i beleive they have included the first lot of PPI in the settlement it is the manner in which they were added/sold and what i was told when applying for the loan as it is with so many cases i see with this company.

 

Thanks so far.

Hi again

 

These are the agreements i had with Welcome along with the default notice.

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc264/Jamesx81x/welcome.jpg

 

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc264/Jamesx81x/Default/welcomedefault.jpg

 

I just need to get hold of the statement for the first loan i mentioned before.

 

Also i was wondering as well as a clear mis-selling of the policy would the broker telling me by taking out the PPI on the second loan it would reduce my interest and that i was unlikely to be accepted for a further loan without it be a case of misrepresentation?

 

After all they induced me to agree to a contract that would turn out to be a detriment to myself and something i did not want or need.

 

Thanks

I would also suggest a letter of complaint is in order to the OFT and FSA. The APR on these loans is extortionate at 89% and 60%. This is surely well over the top in regards to treating customers fairly :eek:

Hi guys!

 

Received the statement from my first loan today so i now have everything to do with both loans.

 

A quick question regarding the statements. On the loan agreement where it states total amount of loan should this include the amount of credit plus the interest on the loan? Meaning the total amount of loan is everything you have to pay. Is that right?

 

Thanks

Anyone?

 

I ask as my statements show my monthly payment been made each month, then interest payments been taken each month.

 

What i find strange is the interest payments that are taken are different each month ranging from £25 up to £52. Just really confused.

 

I was under the impression that the total amount an a credit agreement should include everything including interest and the monthly payment included interest and capital.

 

Thanks

Hi, I have looked at both of your agreements and I beleive they are incorrect and therefore unenforceable. They have not included the Acceptance fee in the APR figure which is against OFT rules. They should cancel the loan. Advise then that you believe is unenforceable for this reason and ask them to prove otherwise.

Thank you for your reply.

 

Do you know where it states this in the OFT guidance?

 

I thought it was against the rules when they added the acceptance fee into the loan?

Hi Postggj

 

Pretty much same as before have just received the statement from my first loan now so i everything under the SAR.

 

There are a few posts above regarding the statements and interest etc.

 

Am a little confused by PPI-Helps post as i was under the impression it is only an offence if interest is charged on the acceptance fee.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I have now checked both the agreements in

 

1. The £500 advance the APR stated is is 89.5% is wrong. The correct APR figure is 107.7%

 

2. The £584 plus £500 advance the APR figure stated is 60.5% is wrong.

The correct APR figure is 68.7%.

 

Therefore they breach the CCA rules as below.

 

The section you are interested in is

2004 No. 1482

CONSUMER CREDIT

The Consumer Credit (Agreements) (Amendment) Regulations

2004

 

 

Permissible tolerances in disclosure of the APR

1A. For the purposes of these Regulations, it shall be sufficient compliance with the

requirement to show the APR if there is included in the document—

(1) a rate which exceed the APR by not more than one; or

(2) a rate which falls short of the APR by not more than 0.1; or

(3) in a case to which either of paragraphs 2 or 3 below applies, a rate determined in

accordance with the paragraph or such of them as apply to that case. ”.

 

Did you get both these loans from the same office of Wellcome?

 

If these figures are typical then none of the Wellcome loans are enforceable.

 

If you need an agreement chacked just PM me.

Thanks for the reply.

 

How did you work out these APR's?

 

If i use it in a complaint to Welcome then they are going to ask how i came about those figures.

 

Yes both loans were done in the same office.

Hi

The calculation is the standard APR calaculation, Welcome Head Office should know how this is calculated. You need to say to them that the APR calculation does not include the acceptance fee. There are very, very, very few people in the finance industry who know how the APR is calaculated and what should be included. I would guess that who ever completed the agreement did not understand this. I have looked at many agreements over the years and a large proportion are always wrong. I would doubt if any one selling a loan could actually calculate an APR figure.

 

Your answer that both loans were written at the same office, indicates that they were both wrong for the same reason. I would suggest that if you know any other people who had a loan from the same office their agreements will also be wrong. Perhaps this may be of interest to alanalana

It may be the standard calculation but how did you get those figures you quoted i ask so i can work it out myself then forward this to welcome. Before any complaint i want to have everything 100% correct.

 

The accpetance fee should not be included in the APR as interest should not be charged on it.

Hi

The formula for the APR calculation is just complicated and not worth your while getting into, I use several methods for getting the answer.

 

Who told you

"The accpetance fee should not be included in the APR as interest should not be charged on it"

They are wrong, and thats why the APR is wrong.

Hi James

The section you need is

The Total Charge for Credit Regulations, made under section

20 of the Act, define a total charge for credit (TCC) which includes interest and other

charges which affect the real cost of borrowing – even if they are not payable under

the credit agreement itself.

Link to post
Share on other sites

That section is regarding the total charge for credit. If you do not include the £75 fee then everything adds up the monthly payments etc are spot on.

 

What you are basically saying is the agreement is unenforceable as they have not charged interest on the £75 acceptance fee. Therefore saving me the cost of the interest added on top.

 

How can someone complain that a company has effectively saved them money?

 

What is missing is the total interest charge and the total amount of loan with the interest added.

 

Then there is the matter of the mis-sold PPI.

 

Thanks

Hi James

You are correct if you do not include the the £75.00 the figures are right. However the lender still has to include the £75.00 in the Total charge for Credit to calculate the APR.

The APR has to include ALL the charges in respect of the loan (subject to certain criteria)

Does this help you?

Thanks

Share on other sites

Yes it will help if they have not followed the correct procedure asng it will throw all the figures out as you said.

 

Am i also correct in saying the total interest charge and the total amount of loan with the interest added should also be on the agreement? As it is missing from mine.
