    • If you're set on pursuing the receiver then a complaint to his governing body (if any) might be a sensible low risk first step. You need to confirm what qualifications he actually has. I don't believe an LPA Receiver necessarily needs to be a licensed insolvency practioner, although he may be. Or he may a chartered surveyor. I note you say "LPA" and "fixed charge" receiver, but aren't those two different appointments with different remits? What relevant powers are given in the mortgage terms and security? Or if that's unclear then how was the appointment described to you? Ducking back to the comment I made earlier, you consulted a solicitor who advised a claim against the receiver. How did he advise that you do so?   Some background reading .. LPA receivers owe very limited duty to borrowers; a reminder WWW.WRIGHTHASSALL.CO.UK As lenders rely more and more on their powers to appoint an LPA Receiver, a recent case has clarified the Receiver’s obligations, both to the lender and its borrower.

    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • 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.

Hello!

Just had a visit from some dubious characters supposedly working for Welscum.

It was actually my partner who answered the door and had the forethought to tell them I was out when he noticed their clipboards with 'Welcome Finance' written on"!

They left a very strange letter headed L&E Receivables containing no address just a mobile number urging me to contact them as a matter of urgency as the account has been terminated as required????

I have paid more than a third but haven't paid for 3 months due to non compliance of sar and PPI issues

Please help!!:?

Unless they have a cout order they cannot take your items if you have paid more than 1/3rd which you have. If they haven't complied with an SAR request and PPI issues they can go and play with themselves.

 

If it is a car hide it away and if it is anything else then they are stuck. They will have no legal rights to come in, in fact I would take the letter they left to the police and say these people have been round threatening to take your possesions WITHOUT a court order and it ISNT a civil matter as they will try to tell you.

If they did, it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do - but they are incredibly stupid! Are you absolutely sure you have paid more than a third?

oohh another one.

 

now, stricktly speaking a failure to respnde to your SAR nor your PPI requests, doesn't actually get you off paying.

 

now if they fail the CCA, thats diff. [for now]

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I haven't actually spoke to them so I don't know for certain that they came to repossess, there is a phone number; should I call them?? I'm fairly sure they'll be back so I just need to know what to say or do and what my rights are.

 

OK, I've just been looking through my agreements and I have to say that I am totally confused!!!?? Lots of figures don't add up, the agreement is for 72 months but it says 73 on my credit file??

 

I originally took out a hp agreement in June 2006 for a car costing £3499. It says on the agrrement that the car cost £3999 and I paid £500 cash deposit which I absolutely did not do!! Then they piled on the insurances which they told me I had to have or they could not agree the finance!!!

 

Anyway, after paying for a year my husband became disabled and I was forced to give up work to become his carer. Needless to say; my insurances were worthless! They told me they could reduce my payments by reducing the interest rate, I was obviously in such a state I agreed (stupid I know!) and I then discovered I'd signed a new agreement minus insurances!!!

 

I took the modified agreement in May 2007. Apparently my new agreement is for a cash price of goods £4625 plus masses of interest, acceptance fee and option fee. I have paid for a further 24 months equating to exactly one third. Then after 5 months of them messing around with my PPI complaint I stopped paying in June this year until they sorted it out satisfactorily. Funny how quick they want to sort things out when you stop paying!!!

 

I sent a sar but there were a lot of things missing so I wrote back saying they had not complied fully and to send me what I wanted. Guess what? They ignored me!

I did get a phonecall offering to take the amount of the PPI off my balance, I replied in writing saying thanks for the offer but what about all the interest on that money too. Suddenly there is absolutely no record of that conversation ever!!!! The lying sods totally denied making the offer! I don't see why I should play fair with them when they are nothing but deceptive cheats!! Sorry about the soapbox rant, I just couldn't stop.

 

They are still refusing to pay out saying that it wasn't them who sold me the insurances! So I say "but I'm paying you, how can you be taking money for something you didn't sell me??"

Apparently some other company; Windsor Finance sold it on their behalf.

 

I just don't understand any of this nonsense, apart from the fact that they are robbing gits who forced me into borrowing more money when I went to them to say I was in financial difficulty.

 

Please can somebody tell me what my rights are and what I should do next please???????????:(

1/ have you received any correspondants from welcome prior to this visit

that includes any default or termination notice

2/ do you still have your agreements, be it the first or the one that was re-written

 

3/ do you have any documents to do with any of the insurance crap welcome forced on you

 

 

welcome can not do a repo with out a court order

do not give them your keys

 

if they still start to take the car, let them, thats right, let them

have a read, some bed time reading

 

sign nothing

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/repossessions/150726-car-repossession-welcome.html

OK, so they have failed to comply with your SAR?

 

Have you also sent a CCA request? If not, do so - no signature, PO sent to compliance recorded delivery at Ruddington.

 

Are you sure you have paid over 1/3? If so they need a court order to repossess. An illegal repo would lead to you getting a full refund of all monies paid plus, possibly, the car as a gift.

 

In the meantime, is the car parked on the street or private land?

Firstly can I thank you for looking in, I've been following the Welcome war for some time and I'm honoured to have your input x

 

1) I have a "Without Prejudice" letter dated 4th Aug referring to a Notice of Default issued on 16th July which I did not receive nor is it showing on my credit file. It says the account has been terminated and the balance is payable in full and they may repossess or apply for a court order without further notice.

 

2) I have both the agreements I signed and the copies they sent in response to the sar

 

3) I have loads of documentation about the insurances and they have Welcome's name all over them, there is nothing anywhere on anything about "Windsor Finance"

 

Thankyou for your support

first thing

anything welcome say and is not in pen and ink is pure bovine excrament

 

how can they send a default notice marked with out prejudice,

thats a legal document.

what it means is that doc cant be used in court with out the agreement of both sides,

sorts of defeats the object

cretins

 

what i want you to do is scan the two agreements and default notice into your pc

 

then google a program called photobucket

deleate all personel info but leave in the figures

upload those docs and post onto your thread

use the upload link for message boards without thumbnails option to post

 

like i said, we can sort this

you just have to find how welcome have messed up and exploit,

thats not hard, believe me

Hello, They have sent some things in response to the sar which included the cca's. I didn't bother sending one in the first place because I still had them.

 

I have previously corresponded with Ruddington, all by recorded delivery but it seems they pick and choose which letters they acknowledge and which they don't!

 

I've checked my credit file and counted the number of payments I've made on this agreement just to be sure, and strangely it turns out that I have paid exactly one third, however I also paid more when I had the first agreement which has been settled when I took out the 2nd one. So in total I have paid well over one third towards the car but I suppose that doesn't count and the current agreement is the only one that is valid.

 

Thanks so much for your advice, I severely appreciate it!

Don't see the default notice there, do you have it?

 

Without prejudice letter - seems odd to put WP on what is obviously meant to be an important document. Were you served with a proper DN?

Also the content is inacurate - it suggests they can simply repo. If you are over 1/3 which appears to be £2235.47 they need a court order. Anything else is illegal.

 

As they are still attempting to collect I would CCA them urgently, from the SAR they are able to comply but will buy some time.

this lot still amazes me, even now

 

ill do a letter for you to send these cretins in the morning

do you have an underwriting sheet showing any commission payments to a broker

 

its a long shot but welcome will slip up one of these days:)

Also, even though it may be illegal for them to repo don't assume they won't try.

 

If your car is on private land they would also need a court order to repo even if you were under the 1/3 (my understanding of that law, hopefully someone else will be along to confirm/deny)
