    • is the home in joint names but this is solely your debt? need far more history to be able to comment if it's paid off and was not just written of by one partly on their books and sold to anther, thus the cra file says £0. dx
    • So, Sunak has managed to get someone to 'volunteer to go to Rwanda hasn't he? .. for just £3000 payment to the person plus 5 years free board and lodging isnt it? - cost to UK taxpayer over £300M+ (300 million quid+) isnt it? - Bargain says Rwanda, especially with all the profit we made privately selling those luxury chalets Bravermann advertised for us   I wonder how many brits would jump at that offer? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Lets see, up to 5 years free board and lodging and £3k in my pocket .. I'd go - and like that person - just come back if/when I get bored. First job - off to Botswana for a week to see the elephants.   Of course the paid volunteers going to Botswana are meaningless - Rwanda have REPEATEDLY said they wont take any forcibly trafficked people in breach of international law eh? Have the poops actually got any civil servants to agree to go yet - probably end up as more massive payments to VIPal contractors to go and sit there doing nowt shortly eh?    
    • Hi Wondered if I could get a little advise please. I entered into a commercial lease (3 years) and within a few months I had to leave as the business I was trading with collapsed. I returned the keys to the landlord and explained the situation and no money, also likely to go on benefits but the landlord stuck to their guns. They have now instructed solicitors to send letter before action claiming just over £4000. The lease was mine and so the debt. I know this. I have emailed the solicitors twice to explain I am out of work and that with help from family I could offer a full and final settlement figure of £1500 or £10pw. This was countered by them with an offer to reduce the debt by £400, or pay off the amount over 12 months. I went back with an improved full and final offer of £2500 or £20pw. This has been rejected with the comment 'papers ready to go to court'. I have no hope of paying the £4000 and so it will have to go to court. Pity as I have no debts otherwise but not working is a killer. I wondered if they take me to court, could I ask for mediation? I also think that taking me to court will result in a pretty much nothing per week payment from my benefits. Are companies just pushing ahead with action even if a better offer is on the table? Thanks for your help.

    • 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,

 

Cancelled my d.debit last month due to unforseen expense, wrote to Welcome and asked them to reinstate for this month, they haven't done so successfully. Branch asked me to pay by d.card, perhaps as month end and if they take 2 weeks to set up new d.debit, will not show on their 'figures' for this month?

My question? - after all i read about Welcome on here, i wonder if i should give them my card details, was assured it gets entered into a once only system and then not retrievable by them, but dont want them having facility to misuse.

Can majorplayer or anyone advise please?

Many thanks

DON'T DO IT - a lot of Welcome branches are being closed down at the end of March, all you will do is give somebody access to your money where they could/might take the lot.

 

If you do do this make sure it is from an account that your salary does not go into.

I agree dont give them card details unless its an account you dont 'use' id be more inclined to send a cheque or postal order

I am a consumer just like you, please get a second opinion or investigate yourself on anything I advise as I am in no way legally trained. Everything I know has come from the Mighty CAG and fellow CAGGERS. :cool:

The most secure way of paying this or any debt is by standing order. direct debits are giving a company access to your monies they "take what they want" a standing order is you giving the monies so "you give what you want" . . . direct debit is in the companies interest . . . . . again to reiterate do not pay by card they DO hold your details and DO take other payments, if anyone disagrees I will find you 5+ threads in this welcome section alone were this has happened.

I agree Ozzy - they have even been known to try and take DDs early :rolleyes:

Jumping in here, Ozzy, Beyond are once again right.

 

Their policy is that they are SUPPOSED to destroy card details once the payment has been made however this board will show many examples of this not happening, they have in the past kept peoples card details and tried to take payments earlier than agreed or even without agreement at all.

 

Direct debits are again controlled by the company and so they can change dates or even amounts if they wanted to.

 

Standing orders are in your control, you decide when to pay and how much, you can also cancel them easily.

 

You can also pay via bank transfer if you ask them for the bank details where to send them to, again you are in control and these can be done instantly nowadays so they will still get their precious payment before month end.

Thank you for all your advice, i will not be paying by card, but will advise them that i want a standing order, Majorplayer, if they try and sell me the line that they don't 'do' standing orders, can i pre-empt this by you confirming it as a fallacy?

Cheers

we started paying by debit card until one time they took 2 payments in one month plunging us into overdrawn with consequent charges. They said it was an error but kept the cash for the next months payments. As said, use only standing order, never ever give them the opportunity to suck cash from your account. There is no reason for them not to agree to standing order but from experience I know they do. Force the issue.

..Should i cancel the DD and set up a Standing order instead?? x

 

 

I would do exactly that, your all right they do not like it as they want to be in control but there is nothing they can do about it, as long as their bank details are correct and its going to your account then your account is getting paid so there is nothing they can do to stop this happening. If anyone needs help setting this up give us a shout.
