    • Hi I have to agree with @unclebulgaria67 post#3 For the funding side of moving to a new area and it being private supported accommodation I would also suggest speaking to private supported accommodation provider about funding but also contact the Local Council for that area and have a chat with them about funding because if you are in receipt of Housing Benefit certain Supported Accommodation that meets a certain criteria is treated as ‘exempt accommodation’ for Housing Benefit purposes but you need to confirm this with that relevant Council in your new area especially since it is Private Supported Accommodation as each Council can have slightly different rules on this. If you have a certain medical condition look up the charities and also have a wee chat with them as they may be able to point you to different Grants to assist with moving costs and your question about funding for private supported accommodation as well.
    • Hi Just to be clear a Notice to Quit is only the very start of the Housing Association going down the Eviction route there is a long process to go. Also to be clear if you leave at the Notice to Quit date only and go to the Council claiming you are Homeless they will more than likely class you as Intentionally Homeless therefore you have no right to be given temporary housing by the Council. The only way that works is when the Court has Granted a Possession Order then you can approach the Council as Homeless with the Court Order. As for the Housing Association issuing the Notice to Quit because there investigation has proved it's not your main residence but you have witness statement to prove otherwise. From now on with the Housing Association you need to keep a very good paper trail and ensure to get free proof of posting from the post office with anything you send to them. You now need to make a Formal Complaint to the Housing Association and please amend the following to suit your needs:   Dear Sir/Madam FORMAL COMPLAINT Reference: Notice to Quit Letter Dated XX/XX/2024, Hand Delivered on XX/XX/2024 I note in your letter that you stated that the Housing Association has carried out an investigation into myself and came to the conclusion that I am not using this property as my main residence and have evidence of this and have therefore issued a 'Notice to Quit' by XX/XX/2024. I find the above actions absolutely disgraceful action by the Housing Association. 1. Why have I never been informed nor asked about this matter by my Housing Officer. 2. Why have I never been given the opportunity to defend myself before the Housing Association out of the blue Hand Delivered a Notice to Quit Letter. 3. I have evidence and witnesses/statements that prove this is my Main Residence and more than willing provide this to both the Housing Association and the Court. I now require the following: 1. Copy of your Complaints Policy (not the leaflet) 2. Copy of your Customer Care Charter (not the leaflet) 3. Copies of your Investigation into this not being my main residence.    As well as the above you need to send the Housing Association urgently a Subject Access Request (SAR) requesting 'ALL DATA' that simple phrase covers whatever format they hold that in whether it be letters, email, recorded calls etc. The Housing Association then has 30 calendar days to respond but that time limit only starts once they acknowledge your SAR Request. If they fail to respond within that time limit its then off with a complaint to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO).     
    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)

    • 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.

Have been reading this with interest and would like to ask a quick question if I may :D

 

We have two accounts with welcome, a loan and HP. I dont want to give out too much info at the moment as to be honest we have had that many dealings with this that if someone from our local Welcome branch were to read this we would be instantly recognisable ;)

 

We made an agreement on these two accounts some time ago and we have kept to this agreement without fail. These agreements are pretty good with very large reductions in amount owed (provided we keep up with payments) but now I think about it they were very quick to make these agreements and I am wondering why.

 

The question is do we just keep paying or should we rock the boat. The problem is at the moment we get no mither what so ever and we only have just over a year to go.

 

Keep quiet or make waves ????

Intriguing! Better than any Agatha Christie novel.

 

postggj has been working on these Secret Commissions for a very long time. I have missed the point somewhat. Until now, thank you Steven.

 

But still the question remains. What constitutes proof that this is happening?

 

At the time I asked for underwriting sheets from all three. I thought underwriting sheets were the Insurance Details and T&C`s.

 

All I got from DG was 3 sheets of WF headed A4 paper with spurious details of what the insurance was ie: PPI. The date insurance or the loan was taken and how long the term of the loan was. That was from 2 loan accounts and who knows how many insurances.

 

From the **** as proof of how much was paid in Insurance Tax, I got 2 copies of Statement of Price purporting to show how much tax was paid, but not who to. And they told me that answered my questions about Tax on the Insurances.

 

Most interesting though. Aviva when I rang them said they had no live policies for me or Mrs Mark. All they had are records of 2 lapsed policies from 1998/1999.

 

Now , being so naive I am unsure if this situation is important to me or any body else, or what to do about it.

 

Would it be apt to SAR Welscum again. Also what about DG and AVIVA?

 

Sureley if Aviva have no policies then WF and DG have potentially ( IMO) committed fraud?

 

Cheers, MARK

the problem with this welcome elite brokers is getting them to release it.

i have official documents with payments to welcome elite brokers.

 

two cases are at court ref this commission payments and mortage indemnity fee

 

one case a judge ordered disclosure, welcome withdrew the court action rather than disclose

 

the second claim is in court as we speak

 

this will nail welcome to the wall and the only way to get this info is through an enforcement ordergiven by a judge quoting

 

wilson v hurstanger

 

welcome will allways quote

 

comercial sensativity

 

AND IN COURT WITHDRAW ANY LEGAL ACTION RATHER THAN RELEASE THIS DATA

The thing with insurances, is that if Welcome or welcome elite brokers did not receive commission, then they would not of received anything for brokering the deal of selling it. this meant that Aviva got free money for the insurance cover. With Welcome brokering so many of these deals, they would lose a very good income stream, so it would make sense for them to make some money out of it...the only way would be by commission as I certainly dont see any mention about fees included in my agreement.

 

I think I shall make some enquires with my IFA client so see if there is a way of finding out how to get hold of commission details from a provider!

 

Might be able to pull some strings at Aviva heh heh.

look at this also

 

the definition of a broker is to search the market to get the best deal

 

so why are welcome doing there own products at vastly inflated prices

 

CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR WHICH THE FSA ARE AWARE

 

I TOLD THEM

It is unlawful because Welcome act as agent and therefore have a fiduciary duty to you to find the best deal. Taking commission is a conflict of interest which is unlawful in a fiduciary relationship.

 

HAve a look at these two quite recent cases:

 

Wilson v Hurstanger and analysis

 

Imageview v Kelvin Jack and analysis

latest update - welcome are in even more of a dire situation than was 1st thought (if thats possible) they are losing cash at the rate of £32million / month!! The general feeling by the shareholders, who may i add are joining together and are starting a claim against welcome is that is shouldnt be very long now until the receivers are called in.

Ive just started to grab my debt by the scruff of the neck and get it sorted. First step was pay off overdraft, close account and open building society account with no debit card or credit facilities!

 

I have a secured loan with welcome but due to large mortgage payment every month aswell as other things Ive paid one installment in the last 6-8 months. Now looking at my credit file, it has 8 missed payments and states that the credit agreement has ended as the account is now in default.

I know ive only got myself to blame but its just seemed that for the last 12 months my (decent enough) wage has been going in and coming out so quickly that ive fallen behind specifically with welcome.

 

Im not trying to weasel out of paying as I took the loan out and knew the payments.

 

Im just after some advice as to where to go from here, should I contact welcome? Wait til they contact me?

My advice is to get your CCA equests and SARs in now -it will be messier once the receivers get involved. In SARs,make sure you ask for detailes of commissions paid and recvieved in relation to any insurances on the loan.

A group of shareholders in Cattles has vowed to fight for the doorstep lender to be wound up, in an attempt to improve the chances of pursuing a legal case against some of its former employees.

 

Barry Dearing, a Lancashire-based solicitor, has started a shareholder action group to press for Cattles to agree to close down promptly so that potential legal action could be considered under the Insolvency Act. The group is racing against the clock as there is a limited period to prosecute certain offences.

 

Mr Dearing said that so far he had attracted 200 individuals with just under 22 million shares. Shareholders voted at an extraordinary general meeting this month to ask Cattles’ creditors for £500,000 to fund a petition to wind down the company.

 

Cattles, which lent money to customers with impaired credit histories, issued a Stock Exchange announcement this week rejecting the move. Margaret Young, the executive chairwoman, said: “We appreciate the disappointment felt by shareholders but there can be no case for winding up the company when this would be highly detrimental to the interests of all of our stakeholders.”

 

Shares in Cattles were suspended in April. The company has admitted to an “incorrect application” of bad-debt accounting procedures that resulted in an £850 million black hole. Seven directors were dismissed and the chief executive and chairman stepped down in the wake of what the lender claimed was “a breakdown in internal controls”. Cattles is trying to keep going so that it can recoup as much of the £1.9 billion in outstanding customer loans as possible in order to repay some of its debts to creditors, which stand at £2.7 billion.

 

The company is understood to believe that customers are less likely to pay off their loans if it is being wound up. Cattles’ banks, led by Royal Bank of Scotland, support its strategy.

 

Shareholders are angry that the company is not being wound up because they believe this makes it more difficult to pursue potential legal action.

 

Mr Dearing said: “The first critical date to pass will be December 31, 2009, after which criminal offences which might have been committed under section 209 of the Insolvency Act 1986 will escape prosecution.”

I'd be getting any claims in for PPI sharpish whilst Welcome still exist.

 

The quicker that the sharholders can gain enough power / share % to force the company into liquidation, the better for all of us with outstanding finance

I`d watch out for whoever takes over their running accounts!

 

In the end the DCA`s will buy the outstanding debts as well!

 

It may be a case of "Better The Devil......". I hope not, but we shall see.
