    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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 took a loan out with Welcom in January 2007- £3500 over 36 months. Stupidly seemed to end up with PPI( Now trying to claim that back- solicitor fighting that one)at £1216 plus a admin fee of £75 so total credit provided on teh whole thing was £4791.98. Didn't pay any attention to the details- i had a poor credit rating and was just relieved to get the loan in the first place. They set Total Charge for Interest at £3710.14 and state an interest rate of 51.11% p.a and monthly payments of £236.17

I am checking with my bank but i am almost certain that the first payment was Jan 2007 so as far as i am concerned it is finished but they have phoned me to say that i still owe them £305.25.

This has spurred me to get the paperwork out and now taking real time over it all i think i have paid too much as the Personal Statement says that the amount of Credit is £4791.98 which i agree with but it shows Annual interest Rate at 42% and all my payments have been at the £236.17. the amount payable for the 51.11%. Surely if the interest rate on the statement is lower than on the agreement, my payments should have gone down? Any suggestions or am i just being thick!!!

if anyone is able to help i would be very grateful, i have my loan agreement and the statements that they sent if you need to see them, but to be honest they might as well be in dutch because no matter how i looked at them i can't make any sense of it all.

I just don't want to get caught up on the telephone with these guys and end up paying yet more money.

Although i see from other threads that you should refuse to speak to them , i will tell them that the next time the try to call me.

 

Any Help on what to do now and i would be eternally thankful.

 

It is all just so frustrating and to make it worse my husband has his own loan with them so i will have to be looking at that also once i've dealt with this.:(

So does this mean the agreement is unenforceable then?

Thank you for the work you have done. But what should i do now, if it is correct should i just let it go or should i stand my ground and do something about the details being mis-stated. I don't want to give these guys an inch if i dont have to?

Also i have noticed today and it is on the documents that i posted, i actually don't have in my possession a signed copy of the credit agreement. I signed my copy and sent it to them but i haven't actually got a copy signed by them- should i have?

I know you must get so sick of questions but not only have they confused themselves but they have done a bloody good job of sending all my sense of reasoning and comprehension out of the window!

I am absolutely drained by all this!

 

I can confirm that None of the paperwork that i have is signed by them.

So does that make the whole loan invalid?

 

Sorry for appearing a bit thick on this but what I can do now?

 

Do i send them some sort of letter or do i just ignore them:idea:

 

I want them to go away but i don't want to pay something i either shouldn't or don't have to.

  • 2 weeks later...

I have had 2 letters from these people in 2 days and really i'm at my wits end!

 

The original details i had in January after they said i still had money to pay was £305.25

I posted that on here with the loan agreement docs which you reviewed and stated that the amounts on the original paperwork were wrong so technically it is unenforceable.Also my agreement document is not signed by anyone at Welcome.

 

I then got a letter on Thursday telling me that i had had £25 added to my account for UnpaidDD/Cheque. So if they were correct that would take the amount owed to £330.25

Saturday i got a Notice of Sum in Arrears and it states - Opening Balance of £315.93 and then " Shortfall for the Purpose of this Notice £602.10" how on earth can this be.

 

What do i do or say to stop these guys or can they just do what they like!

 

Please Help

I have been reviewing other posts about Welcome ,Can you tell me -should Ii notify them that i wish to put the account into dispute - you seem to advise that in a number of cases or do i just write to them and say that i have taken advise on the matter and that the figures have been reviewed and unfortunately it has come to my attention that the initial figures on my agreement are incorrect and in my understanding, along with that fact that my initial loan agreement ( the one i have in my posession) is not signed by anyone from Welcome Finance would mean that the loan itself ius un-enforceable. Or is this the wrong tack to take with these guys- would they take me to court?
