    • You need a back up plan. If you believe that redundancy is very likely, start looking at other employment options.  Don't leave it until you have been made redundant before looking for new employment. I regularly speak to people who have been made redundant and about mental health. Those who have a positive plan, get into employment quickly following redundancy and manage to maintain their finances. Those who don't have a plan, decide to accept redundancy and a period of unemployment. They end up in a downward spiral, with redundancy money spent, debts accumulated, mental health decline and difficulty finding new employment.  
    • Interested observer here as I'm in a similar situation. People become conditioned into seeking and maintaining a perfect credit score/file, but if your situation is that you're unlikely to obtain further credit for the foreseeable future anyway due to your other outstanding debts, then tanking your credit file now won't make a difference other than you've took back control of your finances.
    • Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Since my last post I have received a reply from Plymouth Council Insurance Team concerning my wife’s accident (please see enclosed letter and photo of the offending Badminton post) which they deny any responsibility for the said accident. I feel that the Council is in breach of their statutory duties under the following acts: The Leisure Centre was negligent in its duty of care and therefore, in breach of the statutory duty owed under section 2 of the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (the Act) to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees, and others who might be affected by its undertaking, e.g. members of the public visiting the Leisure Centre to use the facilities. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that requires employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) require the risk to people’s health and safety from equipment that is used at a Leisure Centre be prevented or controlled. I would like some advice to see if my assumptions are correct and my approach to obtaining satisfactory outcome to this matter are accurate.

    • Talking to them does not reset the time limit, although they will probably tell you it does, they'd be lying. Dumbdales are the in-house sols for Lowlife, just the next desk along. If Lowlifes were corresponding with you at your current address then Dumbdales know your address. However, knowing that they are lower than a snake's belly, you would be well advised to send them a letter, informing them of your current address and nothing else. Get 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter, don't sign it, simply type your name. That way then they have absolutely no excuse for attempting a back door CCJ.   P.S. Best course of action, IGNORE them, until or unless you get a claim form......you won't.
    • A 'signed for' Letter of Claim has been sent today so they have 14 days from tomorrow... Lets wait and see what happens but i suspect judging by their attitude they wont reply

    • 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, thought that I had seen a few people feeling a little wary about the action that they have or are taken, wanted to point you in the direction of the FOS stats:

 

Complaints data

 

You can see on the resolved cases from the six months to December, overall an incredible 92% of cases referred to the FOS after Welcome rejected the complaint were found in favour of the customer and an even more impressive 96% of PPI misselling cases where found in favour of the customer when Welcome had rejected the claim in the first place.

 

The work of everybody on here makes things like this happen, it goes to show that through combined knowledge and experience a difference can be made. I would also say that this means for those who Welcome are giving the run around to, remember, they might think that they are getting a small measure of success in batting your complaints around, however don't lose heart as the FOS can see who is actually in the right!:cool:

Exactly right Major :) . . . most of us on here do not want a free ride or a loan that we do not expect to pay back, we jst want to be treated fairly in a moral and professional sense. There are laws to ensure this happens and we will defend ourselves and not only receive justice but allow the path for others.

I agree with this, the majority of us (the ones here doing research to find out rights etc) dont want to wriggle out of a debt we just want companies to stick to the rules which are there for everyones protection funnily enough including their own :rolleyes:

Exactly, take myself for example I have been paying them for 6 years since 2004 and always played their game and spoke on phone and made payments, never questioned them and only now out of frustration and gaining of knowledge that I question their motives and professsionalism and am first ashamed I have allowed myself to be treated this way and now willing to challenge their previous and current actions.

Its not for you to be ashamed its for them to be ashamed they are the ones taking advantage of people that at the time of using their company have very little choice! And with hindsight and knowledge its easy now to see how we have been treated but not so easy at the time. I think CAG is fab because it makes you realise that you arent alone in all of this!

And that MY Friends is the Exact Reason WE Will ALL WIN against these ****!!!

 

WE Found Out WE were being Conned, Diddled, De- Frauded and Theft IS Being Perpetrated Against US. When ALL WE Need is Fairness And Understanding in Our Dealings With this ****.

 

The Strength of Feeling Has Been Unleashed. The Difference NOW is The Knowledge is There, Along With STRENGTH in Numbers.

 

We Played The Game Long Enough. Feeling Indebted to Them because There Was No One Else, and they HELPED Us Out of a Stickey Patch, or something like that.

 

Now WE Have Found that They Make up Their Own Rules has they Go Along!!!

 

That IS SHAME ON THEM, And SHAME on A Government that Allows Them to Operate in This Fashion.

The Financial Ombudsman Service is able to deal with complaints about sales that happened before 14 January 2005 as long as the policy was sold by a high street bank or the firm was a member of the General Insurance Standards Council (GISC), I'm pretty sure that Welcome were not.

 

If the firm you dealt with wasn't a major bank or a GISC member, but was a member of the Finance & Leasing Association (FLA), then the FLA may have to deal with your complaint, rather than the Financial Ombudsman Service, I think Welcome were a member.

 

Welcome must tell you which body your complaint can be referred to in their rejection letter, if they haven't then this alone is cause for complaint.

Hi Major Player, the agreement was a welcome agreement dated 2003. In 2008 we exausted our complaint with welcome and sent to the FOS who took one year to say that they could not help as Welcome had refused them any information on the grounds that at that time they were not regulated by FSA. This only came by letter to us from FOS and not welcome. The OFT refused help also, it seems that no authority is able to help people with these old agreements.

Couldn't have said it better myself....people have been taken advantage of for far too long.

Thanks to everyone involved with CAG.

Somedays I feel I am leading my daughter's boyfriend down a wrong road by urging him to fight Welcome but when I come onto the forum I realise if we all keep fighting, hopefully things will change for the better.

 

Thanks....you are all wonderful
