    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
    • Just be careful with your language on what you post here - Keep it above board Lets see what you send to the big boss. 
    • I made that payment on 13th Feb, then it all went down hill. 
    • Massive potentially that payment has been made in some form as accompanying evidence to your financial difficulties.  And yes, but add some more zing to the email if it goes to the CEO - You need to make them understand what they have done. And telling the CEO  / MD of the biz what their actions have done to you - It adds to the complaint weighting.

    • 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.

In may 2007, jointly with my ex husband took out a tesco (RBS) personal loan for 25k. My husband left me in Oct 2008 and I maintained payments until Dec 08. I have paid nothing since. This was not a decision I took lightly, but did not have sufficient funds so concentrated on my priority debts.

 

- my last correspondence with tesco was July 09. I sent them my budget and made it clear I could not arroded payments

- Incasso obtained a CCJ against my ex in Sept 09 - I am not sure what the current status of that is

- I do not have enough disposable income for an IVA and for obvious reasons do not want bankruptcy. This is one of 3 unsecured creditors (about 60% of the overall total)

- I have today received a demand for Incasso for the full amount (standard letter, limited info, 14 days to pay)

 

I intend to file a complaint with tesco for failure to follow OFT guidelines (they have never told me the case has been passed to Incasso) and I believe Incasso are demanding an unreasonably large amount. I will follow up with complaints to the Law Society (Incasso) and FOS (Tesco) if appropriate. However this will only delay them. In a seperate letter Incasso has asked for a copy of a transfer of equity form which my husband signed in respect of my property (I will not be providing this!!). My questions are:

 

- is it reasonable to include in any defence to a county court claim, that I have gone a significant life changing event (seperation) which could not have been anticipated when I took the loan out. As a result of this I was forced to prioritise my debts and as a result unsecured debts went unpaid

- is a reasonable defence to a charging order the fact my house is in negative equity? It is worth circa 165k but currently has loans (main mortage and second charge) of around 205k? Therefore there is no reasonable hope of Tesco ever getting anything. I have maintained payments on both these loans although both are currently in managed arrears.

 

For info, I am in full time employment, have have a enough money for priority debts and living expenses. Tesco have previously suppiled what appears to be a valid, signed copy of a CCA.

 

PLEASE HELP!! I want to be prepared. I know Incasso are rottweillers and will follow up leagal threats!

Subbing.

 

In the meantime i'm really hoping someone very knowledgeable will come along!!!!

 

Your husbands CCJ was for what? The full amount?

 

- is it reasonable to include in any defence to a county court claim, that I have gone a significant life changing event (seperation) which could not have been anticipated when I took the loan out. As a result of this I was forced to prioritise my debts and as a result unsecured debts went unpaid Could really do with a comment on this from someone that knows!!

Therefore there is no reasonable hope of Tesco ever getting anything.

Hopefully i've bumped you. Your problems are complicated though I reckon there's a solution.

There are issues here I am unable to help with but....

 

My question is did you have payment protection insurance (PPI) on this loan??

 

If you did there is a strong possibility that the PPI may have been mis-sold due to you circumstances at the time. If PPI was attached and you have a claim for mis-selling this may be of help to you.

 

Please have a look in this forum.

 

Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)

 

I am sure the site team will look at all the eventuallities and offer support and guidance as they can.

 

Please post up for more help and if you consider PPI to be an issue please start a thread in the PPI forum ;)

Bank charge successes:

Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.

HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.

RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.

2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did :mad:

PPI Successes

PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.

2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.

2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

 

PPI Claims ongoing with:

Cap one Now with the FOS

Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.

LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

 

1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

No PPI attached to this loan. I have sending a letter off to Tesco tomorrow about failure to follow OFT guidelines though I know (with Incasso) I am only delaying the inevitable.

 

In terms of the charging order should I lay my cards on the table now re. Neg equity? That let them no there is nothing for them and they will essentially be flogging the proverbial dead horse.

I was posting in the hope PPI would be an issue. Sorry but I am not up to helping on the issues of charging orders. I would however explain to them the full situation regarding your circumstances.

 

I was not aware that Tesco were a company that would do this, especially at this time of year. :shock:

 

I will now shop at ASDA/Morrisons as a personal protest. I know this is no help to your plight but principles come into play here.

- Incasso obtained a CCJ against my ex in Sept 09 - I am not sure what the current status of that is

 

Have Incasso started the Charging Order application process?

 

- is it reasonable to include in any defence to a county court claim, that I have gone a significant life changing event (seperation) which could not have been anticipated when I took the loan out. As a result of this I was forced to prioritise my debts and as a result unsecured debts went unpaid

 

That isn't a defence to the fact that you owe the money. You might wish to apply to vary the judgment to affordable instalments, you can do this via the n245 form. It costs £35 to do so and could prevent a charging order if you keep up with the instalments.

- is a reasonable defence to a charging order the fact my house is in negative equity? It is worth circa 165k but currently has loans (main mortage and second charge) of around 205k?

Very reasonable.

 

Have you other unsecured debts?

You need to get that variation application sorted ASAP, If you can obtain instalments it would prevent them from being able to secure a charging order. More info here:

  • 4 months later...

As for the equity thing, I guess it depends on how long is left on your mortgage, if you can maintain payments for the next say 40 years on the mortgage it means that in 40 years there may be enough equity for tesco - unfortunately companies have time on their hands, so they may be looking very long term on this
