    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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 been asked to go to see a Welcome representative to discuss a missed payment. I can no longer afford the monthly payments on the car & have asked welcome to reduce them. I have made 18 payments so far & have 30 left.

They have asked me to prove why I can no longer pay the full amount. Should I sign another contract? What rights do I have?

 

Thanks,

 

Louis

I dont know much about these car agreements. Only what I read on this forum. Do not sign a new agreement though thats for sure because it certainly wont make you any better off with Welcome Finance and only they will get something out of it. From what I understand if you have paid a third you can give the car back..Postggj will be along at some stage soon and am sure he will advise. Dont panic into a new agreement though please !!!

Hi,

 

There is no default notice, probably because I initially wrote to them explaining that I could not continue to pay the full amount. So they are asking me to go into their local office to re-negotiate the deal, hopefully for lower payments. I am unsure about signing a new contract though. Would I have to sign it there & then or do I have the right to take it home & take a better look?

I cancelled the PPI after the first two days.

 

Thanks,

 

Louis

Visited Welcome today, there office is next door to the FOS, which I thought was ironic.

 

They will reduce payments from £221 a month to £96 but this is now based over 10 years. I only owe £6500 though so this seems a little high.

 

Need to make a decision by Monday because they can only allow 2 people in a set period to reduce payments, so it's a first come, first served basis.

whatever you do do not sign a new agreement with them your current agreement is more than likely to have enough holes in it to render it unenforceable, and if you sign a new agreement now they will make sure the new agreement is bulletproof and your £6,500 will spiral out of all recognition on a ten year plan, these people are only willing to re new your agreement because your current agreement is not worth the paper it is written on or they have lost it, please wait and get more advice from this site dont let them pressure you into signing or you will regret it for years and years to come, this company is about to fall off the map and are desperate to get cash in by any means they can so again dont trust them, dont speak to them on the phone or in person only by letter and for the sake of your future Please do not sign a new agreement

regards

I'll second that jdene. Louisd77 - Do not sign a new agreement!

 

Take a look at your agreement, it will state the 1/3 figure. Once you hit that they can not repo without a court order. You must hit 1/2 before you can VT.

In the meantime, you must send a CCA request to compliance at Nottingham, £1 postal order, recorded delivery, do not sign it. Once you get that you will be in a better position to move forward.

 

The bit about 2 rewrites per period is a lie. Absolute barefaced lie. They want to create a new, tighter, agreement, far more interest, more fees etc. They are not trying to help you, they are trying to help themselves.

 

Step 1 - CCA

Step 2 - see step 1 !

 

I'll give postggj a shout and see if he can pop by.

I have a appointment with Welcome tomorrow. I don't want to sjign another contract, especially one which is going to cost me £11520 for a car which is probably worth £3000. Plus I have already paid £3757. There is now pressure on me to sign & not miss the appointment.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Louis
