    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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.

please can someone help me :Cry:

 

 

I took out a loan with Welcome finance in Nov 2007 the total loan amount was for $5700. Plus acceptance fee at $195.00 and interest at "17%" which made interest of $3000?

 

Interest on this amount made the total amount to be repaid Total amount calculated at $8901.36.

 

The loan was for 36 months November 2007 – November 2010.

 

I have paid 247 each month for 23 months therefore paying $5681.

 

Below are some settlement figures I have been given – I think there is a problem with the " settlement figure computer!?

  • November 23rd settlement figure $3124.40
  • October settlement figure $3338.10

 

I've done a few calculations:

 

Total debt ( $8901.36) – Amount Paid So Far ( $5681) = $3220.36 ( amount remaining if paying for 36 months)

 

Then I moved on to calculate what the benefit of me paying 12 months early would be…….

 

Again some more calculations:

 

Amount remaining if paying for 36 months ($3220.36) – settlement figure ( $3124.40) = $95.96

 

This means for an early repayment "reduction" of $95.96.

 

I've been advised that the settlement figure = (Balance at the time – interest – acceptance fee)

 

Now if I were to work out the interest (3000) over the 3 years I would think that this would be 3000 divided by 3. Meaning that the interest I pay is roughly 1000 per year….

 

Therefore, I could only assume that If I were to pay 12 months earlier – the 1000 would be deducted??

 

Am I missing something?!!?

 

I checked my credit expert file too and it says on there that i owe 300 quid.... soemthing seems fishy

:-(

I agree. the early settlement figure should be excluding any interest that is due over the remaining period. you should only have to pay the capital element of the loan.

 

The capital element works out at about £158.33 a month. therefore with 13 months remaining, that = approx £2058 to pay + the acceptance fee part as this is separate to the loan amount itself. so in total £2253

 

with 12 months remaining it works out at approx £1899 + £195 = £2094

 

The acceptance fee should already have been paid at the start of the loan and I also believe that they are not allowed to put interest on the acceptance fee but I do believe this is currently being contested.

 

Hope this helps.

welcome loans work the same way as a mortage

 

everything is interest to begin with, capital gets paid off at the end

 

every thing is front loaded

 

all charges and insurance are paid up front in a block payment

 

welcome screw you for the max interest rate that way

 

i might have some good news for you as i feel you have been conned

 

this is a personal loan and not a car finance agreement

 

please confirm

Thats HP agreement for you. basically you hire the car from them and pay a fee at the end to keep it.

 

during the term of the agreement you are not allowed to sell the car until the HP has been paid off and the option fee is paid.

 

The car is owned by Welcome until its all paid.
