    • Today , after a lotof years i recieved a letter from this lot. Very friendly, "Were writing to remind you that we havent had any contact from you in a while".  The velvet fist, followed by  a veiled threat to get their preferred debt collectors involved. Yep dead right. In 1992/3 I took out a Student load under duress from DHSS. uP TO 2000 I hadsucessfully gotten deferment on low income. But rarther thansign on as unemployed,I decided to be self employed. I applied and they asked for all sorts of documents. I obliged and then correspondance ceased from them, circa 2001. To date  I have had no correspondance from Student Loans. I was made  redundant in 2009 and  reached 65 in 2012 , at which age the loan should have been cancelled. Now ,today, 12 years on retirement and 11 ( at least years after last contact) I get a letter with veiled threats. Do I , as I smell a scam a) ignore it and hope that Erudio will think that this phishing attempt has failed or b) respond with a statute barred letter or c) remind them of legal terms that loan should be cancelled 12 years ago or d) combination of b) +c)      
    • But I'm not mixing and matching. Sure, when researching I do check multiple avenues, but when speaking, I will open a single post. The Fb post was made in March, it is now June, time has passed, and when the suggestion was made, no further information was given on how I should progress beyond "send a letter", which has meant that I've needed to start another stream - this one, but only after taking the time to research first.
    • hes not turning you away he is simply saying that you should stick to one channel of advice. he is perfectly happy with that channel being this forum, and he will help you   all he is saying, and I agree, is that you should stick to one help channel, not mix and match 3/4
    • As long as we are clear . Do the reading and post your letter of claim in draft form as requested and we can go from there.    
    • Hold on @BankFodder, that was a bit harsh. I spoke with the EVRi complaints Facebook group to begin with, a user on that group told me to send a letter but didn't give any specifics. Here at CAG, I was looking more for specific help as I've never raised such a claim before, and wanted to be sure that my claim was correct, which is why I've researched information with the other groups too, to be sure; but you seem to have assumed that I've made some form of contact with the other groups, such that I find your comments and tone to be very unfair. And I do know a thing or two about forums, that forum users are unpaid volunteers, I happen to be a Tableau Ambassador, and so perform a very similar role helping others in an unpaid capacity

    • 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.

If your buyer is using Beacon, my guess is that it is because no one else will lend to them due to adverse credit. And unfortunately, they will not produce any more mortgage offers until at least Feb 2010, so completion will not happen until at least March of next year. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Beacon are probably not taking your admin fee as they know that no mortgage offers will be produced until February 2010. However, I would still expect them to be able to process your application in the meantime regardless.

 

 

Not what they have said on their Email...

 

"Between now and February 2010, in close liaison with the FSA, Beacon will be carefully managing the conclusion of its asset purchase arrangements, and to assist customers to whom mortgage offers have been made in completing their loans within the stated validity of their individual mortgage offer."

I had that email a while back too. Once you break down the jargon, what they are saying is that they are honouring mortgages that have been offered, but not producing anymore offers until Feb 2010. Basically, the German bank that was funding them, have decided to no longer do so. Thus, Beacon are looking for new funding avenues and are managing the little funds they have left. If they have not found a funder by then, then they will be closing their doors to all business.

Well we applied in June and as many others have been asked again and again for more documments, it got to a stage that they lost some paperwork including a survey that cost us £400 and then they lost a statement from our building society. Now to keep it short we have been told that the American bank that gives them the money, have know pulled the plug. the house we were buying we have now lost and all our money for survey lost, and to top this we are now Homeless, thaks Beacon Homeloans

Well, where shall we start?? I wanted a mort for 20k, but Beacons minimum is 25k. ok, we will have that then. I am putting down 100k (so in effect asking for 20%) so far I have had to fill in two mortgage acceptance forms, re sign countless other forms as my sigs 'dont match' even got my brief to witness that my sig is not always the same. taken out (but is now cancelled) building insurnce on the property (not legal until exchange) got a landline number for the property (having to take over the vendors line) despite giving two mobys and a work landline. Provide a mortgate statement for the ex marital property (no sold and mort paid off), GET IT STAMPED at a local branch, then GET IT STAMPED AGAIN AS THE ORIGINAL STAMP WAS 'ILLEGIBLE' DESPITE THE FACT IT HAD NAT WESTS ORIGINAL FAX NUMBER ON IT.:mad: I have lost count of the hoops I have jumped thru, ok, my cred history, through the course of the divorce proceedings, has dipped somewhat, and I am on a debt management scheme, but moving into my own property will mean I actually live cheaper, and will pay off the debt management in half the time as currently half my salary goes on rent, and a high proportion of what is left goes on fuel to get me to and from work, whereas the new house is walking distance. I feel I am being penalised at every turn. NOW today i hear they 'might' release funds on 4.1.10 (nothing concrete) as they have reached their monthly cap already. This has been going on sinc mid to end July. My conveyancer and estate agent (who is where I got this firm from) sit open mouthed at the things being asked of me. I have ended up on medication. Divorce was easy peasy, financial settlement, involving several court attendances was just a doddle. They say moving house is the most stressful thing, but it is lenders who extend the stick when I get to the carrot that make it hard.:-|. I cant back out now and try via my bank for a mortgage as I have spent money already and every penny is accounted for from what is left. short n curly job:-o.

These are typical problems when dealing with the sub-prime market,lenders make up their own rules.There really isn't a sub prime market in uk now,most lenders have closed the door to new business.

There are ways around the problems sometimes,all cases are different but it can be possible to get people who think they are sub-prime mainstream lending.

Feel free to send me an email with your contact details and circumstances and I'll reply to everyone,not always the answer you want,but it'll be the truth.
