    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Have been reading lots of info on this site and have been inspired to reclaim my charges from my old HSBC account especially when they were less than helpful at a time when I was having a fair few financial difficulties.

This morning received the statements along with my cheque returned and standard letter from Ian Shepherd and have already gone through everything and sent the preliminary letter with schedule of charges.

 

Can't wait to recover MY money that I thought was irrecoverable!!!

 

Just one question, the account is now closed but they sold one of my debts to MCS who I pay a minimal amount to every month, do I need to inform them or can I keep the money to myself?? Can't find the answer anywhere:-?

Hi Maria

As far as I'm aware you don't need to inform MCS. It's your money, if you decide that you want to pay off MCS then that's your decision, make sure you ask for a cheque. HSBC shouldn't know anything about your dealings with MCS now anyway, as far as they know you could have paid of the debt completely.

GOOD LUCK!!

Make sure that you ask for payment by cheque when they make your offer as they have been known to attempt to clear debts with this money

I will also be asking for a chq but I note from a couple of threads over the last few days that people who still have open accounts with HSBC and a current overdraft have requested chq's and had this request declined by HSBC.

Hi Winnie123,

 

I had my statements through in just under 2 weeks so you should receive yours soon. I understand that they cannot request that I pay off the debt cause they have in effect sold it on to mcs (it was for a loan) and my agreement with mcs is a separate issue now, especially as the account is closed. the amount I'm claiming in charges would not even come close to covering the debt and they way I see this is that they have to pay me by cheque as I no longer bank with them.

 

I will keep you updated of progress though and wish you luck, not that its needed!

Help!!!!! Anyone????

I have just seen a post on somebody elses thread that worries me greatly........due to my outstanding debt with MCS, is it true that they are within their rights to demand payment in full within 7 days (or whatever time they give) just because I want my money back for unfair charges??????? It seems someone else has had a similar experience and HSBC advised MCS who in turn got on the wagon by threatening legal action!!!!

I just don't have any means of paying off the MCS debt and the amount I'm looking to reclaim in charges will not even come close, should I give up now???????

Absolutly not. My understanding is that the money that they took is yours, therefore you decide who gets paid, especially if you have more priority debts to deal with, including living costs etc...etc... MCS have a seperate contract with you then the one you had with the bank, the two are seperate. You simply need to make them aware all along that you'll settle for cheque and cheque only, otherwise you'll proceed with court action. They don't want to go to court, trust me!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Stephie, after a sleepless night I've decided to carry on regardless, if MCS do get involved let them try and take me to court cause they can't have what I don't have to give. I WILL get a cheque out of HSBC! Defiant to the end!!

I have read flower chops thread and have to say I'm getting a little worried again but as I've said, if I end up in court I can prove I can't pay up anymore than the monthly amount the are already getting. I too have more important debt to settle and will do my best to push for a cheque.

Hey Maria,

I read the replies to my thread and to be honest I don't think you have anything to worry about. The final demand thing is a big fat threat (according to CCCS) and you can only pay what you have. They would have to take you to court and the court would then set up a payment agreement. That money you are claiming back has nothing to do with MCA. You are paying them what you can and would have a budget to prove it. With me, I do not own a house or a car or anything worth more than around £50 (even computer is OH's!). So, if HSBC OR MCA (if my debt ends up with them) demand a final payment they can go whistle as I'm paying every penny I can!

 

Best of luck with everything and particularly your claim and debts - I know what it's like! And dont worry - just think of that cheque dropping on your doormat!

Thanks flower chops, its good to know there are a few people (even if we are a minority) in a similar boat, I know your right, just got worried when I read somewhere "they are within their rights" to demand the o/s balance!! I will continue to fight for MY money regardless, good luck to you too.
