    • Just a little something for consideration When a card is compromised, the replacements can be set up to automatically allow or manually re-add, old recurring transactions. The card issuer may ask you to confirm legitimate transactions which they would effectively 'migrate' to the new card Some do - some don't. Some staff on some cards seem to be entirely unaware/uncaring about this. Some card issuers expect you to sort it all out manually.   BUT if the leak is an ongoing lyca leakas it seems - as soon as you or your CC supplier give it to lyca/the leak source - compromised again     A note on security DONT use the same email or phone number for your banking as you do for sims etc. Although a bank eg santander leak would compromise this Infp seems to suggest that single/compromised multi factor authentication customers are priority targets, with more robustly secure cards being hit by 0.00 tests first Consider that the email address is one of the OTP recieving options AND one of the OTP security checks prior to sending the OTP - with the phone number being another So if they've got your card and email (same email for banking and end contact) - and you aren't forcing a phone OTP - you are compromised.  
    • Thanks for posting up the back of the NTK. The good news s that as it does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act, it means that you are not liable for the charge as the keeper as I explained in a previous post.  The PC fails for two reasons. The first is that it does not specify the period of parking. All it does is list the arrival and departure times of your car. Obviously that does not include the time taken to drive to the car parking space, manoeuvre the car into the space and later drive from the space to the exit. Nor does their times include things like getting kids disabled people out of and into the car as well as things like returning the trolley whilst still being parked. All of which can add a fair bit of time to the parking period which can then be subtracted from their ANPR times and makes your actual parking time a lot shorter than 118 minutes they seem to think it is. The second reason is that they failed to ask the keeper to pay Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][e]  (e)state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges You as keeper are now in the clear which is a good reason for you to contact Sainsbury  stating that you are being pursued as the keeper when you are not liable under the Act as well as the oher things I suggested in my previous post. If you don't get it cancelled with Sainsbury this could drag on for months with endless letters unlawfully pushing the price up to scare you into paying.  
    • Brilliant! That's great to hear and honestly pleased I'm wrong, my advice was out of concern. I checked some of your previous posts last night and you've been giving great advice to others at times. Bringing a claim can be serious (counter-claims etc) and it didn't appear you were knowledgeable based on posts so far. Far from an expert myself, just interested and will try to help. I'll sit on the sidelines, best of luck with the claim!
    • Thank you so much for the advice  I will try and up my savings to £500 for the next 6 months. Although I do still have an uphill battle, I feel more able to deal with it.  I hope my experience with the cifas marker helps someone else who finds themselves in that quite horrible situation. It is a huge weight off my shoulders getting it removed.

    • 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 put the account in Dispute long time ago and put the complain to Ombudsman and i picked home phone it was the account manager from Welcome and he went on saying that i need to start paying as Charges and the interests are being added to your account plus your credit file is going to updated with no payment made .And i told him that what part of dispute you did not get it he went on the dispute is with the Company who sold you the loan and insurance not us we are the lender so we can demand you money and can put default your account and credit history .I said to him i followed legal procedure and put the account in dispute while Ombudsman investigating into this matter so if you did not like my way of putting my account in Dispute and you want add charges and Interests than please confirm it in writing ,He said he will ask their complaint department to do that and send me letter .And then he asked me to send him the letter from Ombudsman that came to me that my case will be looked by adjudicator .I was telling him that you must call me and threat me about my credit rating he went saying it is fact not threat and hang up on me .I was so :-x:-x:-x:-x So guys can he really affect my credit file and add extra interest while the account is in Dispute ? Thanks

 

I may be wrong but as i understand it they arent at liberty to chase payment, add anything to the account or amend your credit report whilst the account is in dispute i may be wrong tho anyone agree or disagree please??

Beyond, you are correct. But Tariq, face it this is Welscum! Would they break the law knowingly?

 

Would they add interest, would they still update your credit file, would they still ring you or threaten doorstep visits and then add their outlandish charges onto your arrears. Would they sell the account on to a Debt Collector?

 

Let us just think about that! They will do what they want, even when everyone knows they shouldn`t.

 

That may be a little unfair, but you would have to watch everything they do as closely as you can.

 

Cheers, MARK

Well after seeing Cattles' share price drop to just over 1p and then raise to over 6p before being suspended I was starting to think this lot would survive. Reading some of the investors' comments certainly didn't help with that, but now that even their optimism has went, it certainly does look as though WFS are finished for good. :D

 

I wouldn't gloat at people losing their jobs, however, we've all experienced this lot's lies, unprofessionalism, threats and fake agreements to name a few, and we all know they get away with it. It just proves that it's not just a company that had a corrupt boardroom of directors; it filtered all the way down to the advisors. I believe in karma, and this is what happens when you play dirty.

 

I would advise people to be even more vigilant. Remember, Welcome employees have very little to lose now and may want to play games with the customers. Make sure all your paperwork is in order and, if in doubt, ask here.

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 don't have much sympathy for the shareholders, they had 6/7 months to sell up their shares n call it a day; they were all giving each other false hope even before the shares were suspended.

 

It's still a shock to see the end of Welcome in sight though 

Hey Sol. Just a little attempt at humour, just as I always try to.

 

I wouldn`t want to encourage gloating at peoples misfortune that isn`t fair.

 

And you are correct, "What Comes Around Goes Around" or whatever the saying is.

 

What I will say though is that after I realised (eventually) just what my Wife was going through every month at the hands of our so called account manager and his cohorts in the local branch, for the bullying, lies and harassment, and for actually frightening my wife to tears with his attitude, I hope now he`s lost his job that his eyes fester and drop out as well. And that all the others in that office really struggle before they get jobs. And they face the prospect most people on these forums faced, when all that was required was patience and understanding.

 

Don`t worry too much about them. They will have nice little Nest Eggs set aside through all the Commissions and bonuses they have fiddled from us.

 

Yet it is the season of good will, so let me wish you a Merry Christmas. One and all.:razz:

Could not agree more...staff in my local office were appalling,ringing mobile constantly if your payment was one day late,shoving notes through your letterbox to contact them urgently oh then charging you £25 for the pleasure...unfortately I signed new agreements last year to bring down the cost of two loans which I can now manage to pay just over a longer term..will be interesting to see what happens now..as for the account managers they can go to hell for being so unprofessional..not very goodwill I know but that sums up their attitudes...going to claim my charges back now..:D

i have a question - if Welcome intend to remain active for another 3 years max to collect their loan book(as stated in the shareholder meeting) what would happen to the people whos loans still had 4, 5 or even longer years to run. As has been stated on many posts, its very unlikely that welcome would find a buyer for the remaining debt as the loans are liable to incorrect agreements & PPI reclaims, therefore what would happen to the amount still outstanding????

Quick question. If and when the time comes to make an offer to settle, which figure do we use? Is it the original amount borrowed, or the amount due overall? I mean, I borrowed £7500 to get my car, but the total to pay back is just over £14k.

Its totally up to you, your making an offer and thats all it is, id take into consideration how long you have had the loan out and how much you have repaid already though. Personally come mid jan ill offer 25% as my settlement, they can either take it and run or fight with me for the remaining 3 years and inccur further costs with no guarantee of being able to collect the remaing amount anyway :D

I wasn't thinking of offering that much, more 5 - 10%. I've been waiting for Welcome to come chase me for money for well over a year, pleaded with them to take me to court (dubious agreement and paperwork), but nothing happening. Although they've defaulted me numerous times, and terminated the agreement with an iffy termination. I beleive Postgg has said before that their termination only leaves you liable to the arrears to termination, could an offer be made on that figure?

If you have a defective agreement then no i wouldn't be offering even that, id either be asking for the loan to be wiped completely or for an even lower settlement figure. What action you take really depends on if your up for the fight and hassle which will come when disputing the agreement if you just want an easy life make them a ridiculous offer, the worse they can say is no.

Hi guys, very interesting news this!

 

I have a secured loan with Welscum (started thread a couple of days ago :-) ) for 3K and after 6 months of not been able to pay I have received a default. Does anybody know if its possible to negotiate a settlement on secured loans??

I'm up the 'fight', I'm assuming getting them to wipe the agreement would involve court action? I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to get these clowns off my back. I might have to phone them and see what they say...

I am absolutely delighted at this news. For 5 years I have had the millstone of Welcome Finance around my neck, their rude, abusive and patronising staff shouting at me. This could not happen to a nicer outfit.

I agree completely, I have no sympathy for any member of staff at Welcome Finance whatsoever. They played unfair and illegally for too long and now it's hit them back.

 

Who wants to toast? :D
