    • Back to octopus from the smart meter/tariff salesperson. Octopus have now said just ignore the letter - I dont have to have one despite there letter implying (at least) it was required, but that i will HAVE to have a smart meter if current meters stop working as 'their suppliers dont supply non smart meters any more'. I am of course going to challenge that. Thats their choice of meter fitter/supplier problem not mine
    • Point taken that we should inform new Caggers that the £20 option is there in wrong registration cases.  Well, supposedly there, who knows what the PPCs would do in practice.  Anyway, the option is allegedly there with both the BPA as you say, but also the IPC (I've just checked). However, there's a danger here of baby, bathwater. The two easiest types of cases to win are (a) residential - due to Supremacy of Contract and (b) wrong registration - due to "de minimis".  Indeed until recently we has been boasting that no Caggers, over two years, who had sent a PPC the wrong registration snotty letter, had even been taken to court, let alone lost a court hearing. We simply can do nothing about a terrible judge.  The judge seems - I say seems because we haven't had all the details - to have ignored "de minimis",. got fixated on a sign and awarded unreasonable behaviour costs.  A totally bizarre judgement.
    • You mean your witness statement 
    • That may be your personal claimed experience I said i didn't want smart meters - you jumped in to recommend smart meters I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest paying what I owe every month I quite clearly indicated I was happy with being in credit to maintain constant payments - you suggest a variable tariff - even if its one that only varies on a daily basis rather than half/hourly - with prices higher in winter when you need it and lowest in summer when you need it least   politeness ends with: - I'm NOT interested in any smart tariff I see, You are pushing your smart meter + variable tariffs in the wrong place - try pushing them somewhere 'nearer to home'

    • 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.

to be honest, Welcome use that fact that they allegedly sent letters out as being enough for them to say you have had it. I had this problem with the local council, they basically said because they had a record of it being sent, whether or not I receive it isnt their problem.

 

so as long as you have proof your letters have been sent, that's more than enough proof you need in my eyes.

Thank you Beyondhope, for replying.The SAR sent in November wasn't signed for, but they replied so that is proof enough.I may have been a little hasty in sending the LBA (sent 07/01/10).I'm assumimg it was delivered but in it I stated they had a further 7 days to comply.They did not send everything in response to my SAR, which was the reason I sent the LBA, to which I have not yet had a reply.I'm going to be off here for a couple of days but will be back some time Friday.Obviously I will keep you all posted on events if/as/and/or they happen.

Welcome haven't sent anything yet.Received a letter from Young & Pearce on 23/01/10.If you remember, when I sent in my SAR I received a letter from Y&P stating they had a copy of my agreement and they wanted confirmation of my ID and signature.I sent them nothing.Bear in mind that Welcome have not yet responded to my LBA sent on 07/01/10.It is still showing as 'In the system awaiting delivery' although I suspect it has infact been delivered.Anyway, the letter received on 23/01 says:

Dear Signaller,

Further to our telephone conversation on xx/12/09, we note from our files that you have failed to send in to our office proof of ID as requested.

Please can you forward proof of your ID by return of this letter in order to resolve the matter and to come tro a speedy conclusion.

Personally I think that Welcome have received my LBA and it seems that this letter I received is a delaying tactic.Your thoughts and opinions please!!!

Regards

Hi,

Starting to warm up nicely I think :D. Send them a letter, recorded as normal, reminding them you have no legal obligation to provide any such proof of identity and certainly will not be releasing your signature.

 

Remind them the address they have been using up until your CCA request has clearly been accepted by them for all previous purposes of communicating confidential matters and as such you no see no reason why they should now ask for proof of identity at such a late stage. Remind them the clock is ticking on your request.

 

Thank them for their careful attention to data security ;) and inform them that if this agreement is not forwarded you will consider it to be a wilfully obstructive act.

Sent letters to Welcome and Young & Pearce yesterday.Noticed this morning that the postcode I put on Welcomes letter was wrong, so will send it again today. Checked all other receipts though and all previous letters, and postcode is correct. Still haven't heard from them in regard to my letter sent on 07/01, but I didn't think they would reply.Will wait to see what,if anything, they send in reply to my most recent letter requesting all the missing documents from my SAR.Should be interesting though, as I have a letter from them telling me what they sent is all they have.As usual, I will keep you all posted.Thank you yet again for your time.

Well,the letter to Young & Pearce was delivered and signed for yesterday.Sent the letter again to Welcome because I put the wrong postcode on the first one. Probably a waste though, as I doubt the letter to Welcome will be signed for anyway.At least it will show I'm trying.

Can someone please point me in the direction for the template letter for 'Account in Dispute'?

Regards

To be honest Signaller you'll be able to knock that up yourself. Just write and inform them that as of (DATE) you consider this account to be in serious dispute until such time as they provide whatever it is they haven't provided.

 

Remind them of their obligations during this period and suggest you will recommence appropriate action on the account as and when they've responded to your satisfaction. Keep it simple basically.

Emandcole,

thanks for taking the time to reply again.Will get a letter wrote and sent off today.Its that time again where I have a couple of questions for someone.

I have got a copy of my credit file, and on it the loan with Welcome is registered as a mortgage.Is this right,as it was a secured loan?The default balance says £24062 and it says the current balance up to 03/01/10 is £24912.

It shows the monthly payment as £297 over 121 months!!! loan was for 120 months.

On the agreement Welcome sent in reply to my SAR the loan shows as £297.45 over 120 months.A difference of £243.

Also, on the reposessions register there has never been any details registered against me.

Going home in an hour.Will probably spend the rest of the day sifting through the mass of paperwork I have.Will log back in tomorrow afternoon some time.

Regards

Signaller

A question for postggj. OR anyone else who knows the Answer OR some sort of theory.

 

If the amount borrowed is above £25K, But The Agreement states "A Secured Loan Regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974". What is it?

 

Mortgages are regulated differently to Loans.

 

Does the Fact it is Secured Automatically make it a Mortgage?

 

Does the Fact it is Over the £25K Automatically make it a Mortgage?

 

Does The Fact it is stated has being Regulated by CCA `74 pose any Problems of Enforcement if it is Indeed a Mortgage? Or Could it cause Problems for the **** if Recorded as a Mortgage with the Credit Reference Agencies?

 

Cheers, MARK

A Secured Loan Above 25 K Can Not Be Regulated By The Cca

A Secured Loan Below 25 K, Is A Secured Loan, Not A Mortage

 

Welcome Have No Right In Calling It A Mortage

 

Any Secured Loan Over 25 K Would Be Classed As A Second Mortage (charge) On A Property

 

This Biz Of Classing Loans Below 25 K Welcome Have Yet To Answer

 

The Last Excuse They Used Was The Cra Do It

 

The Cra Only Record What Welcome Say.

 

I Would Say If The Agreement Says Regulated By The Cca 1974 And Above 25 K

 

They Are In Trouble

sorry to butt in, do have my own thread but reading this I have a question...........

  • my original loan dated mid 2005 was for £15K & have a charge on my property, registered with Lan registry and have copy of documentation I signed
  • i re-wrote this loan, ~ £19.5K to remove PPI, (trying to reclaim & MIF) in early 2008 but didn't start paying til ~ mid 2008 as welcome did not claim money. No new charge was signed for & on land registry original loan from 2005.

so my question is can I ask for this charge to be removed?? nothing on credit file at all regard the re-write.....

well yes

 

if the charge was for a previouse loan,

when that loan was rewritten, the previouse loan ceased to exsist, so the charge is void

 

welcome will have to do a new charge and you sign for it

 

only different option would be when the re-write was done

 

WAS IT A NEW AGREEMENT OR

AGREEMENT TO MODIFY

Still not heard anything from them.If you remember, there has been problems with sending recorded letters to them, and the letters not being signed for.Had an idea the other day before I posted the 'Account in Dispute' letter.I posted it in a different envelope and asked a lady at the library is she could print a sticky label for me.I thought it might make the letter look sort of official.Anyway, the letter has been delivered AND signed for this morning.I did wonder if Welcome were actually receiving the letters and just not signing for them.Well, it seems to work. Just a thought for those of you who have had the same problem.Sent the same letter to Young & Pearce as well.Will be interesting to see what,if anything, their reply will be.As usual, will keep you posted.

I'm not the only one this has happened to recently.They can't now say they didn't receive my 'Account in Dispute' letter.At least I have proof I sent the other letters. As a matter of interest, are there many of you recently who have sent letters to them and found that they were not signed for?

All mine have been signed for but this is probably due to the coinsidence that im using my old envelopes from a utility company I used to work for so they probably think it is their leccy bill. this wasnt intentional and i only just realized when i read your last post why i get a clear signature. haha.

I've been on to Royal Mail again and, as usual, they say they will look into it and send me some stamps for the inconvenience.Seems a bit of a coincidence that they (Welcome) will sign for (apparently) official looking letters and not handwritten ones from Signaller.:). But it did work for me.Can't wait to see what I get in reply.
