    • I doubt HMCTS holds any data on whether arrests by AEAs required police assistance.  They couldn't or wouldn't provide data on how many of warrants issued were successfully executed - just the number issued!  In my experience, arrest warrants whether with or without bail are [surprisingly] carried out with little or no fuss.  I think it's about how you treat people - a little respect and courtesy goes a long way. If you treat people badly they will react the same way. Occasions when police are called to assist are not common and, having undertaken or managed many thousands of these over the years, I can only recall a handful of occasions when police assistance was necessary. On one occasion, many years ago, I arrested and transported a man from Hampshire to Bristol prison on a committal warrant. It was just me and he was no problem. I didn't know the Bristol area (pre Sat Nav) and he was kind enough to provide directions - seems he knew the prison.  One young chap on another committal warrant jumped out of his back window and I had to chase him across several garden fences.  When he gave up (we were both knackered) I agreed to drive by his girlfriend's house to say farewell for a while.  I gave them a few moments and he was fine. The most difficult are breach warrants but mainly in locating the defendant as they don't want to go back to prison - can't blame them.  These were always dealt with by the police until the Access to Justice Act transferred responsibility from them to the magistrates' courts. The fact was the police did not actively pursue them and generally only executed them when they arrested someone for something else and found they had a breach warrant outstanding.  Hence the transfer of responsibility.
    • thats down to mcol making that option available for you to select, you cant force it. typically if there are known processing delays at northants bulk it will be atleast 14 days later if not more.
    • Thanks   Noting the day to apply for default judgement if necessary
    • nope, as the display model was not the colour the customer wanted. but your question is totally immaterial anyway as custom built doesn't come into it. dx
    • as long as aos is done by day 19 from the date on the claimform they get a total of 33 days to file a defence. (whereby the date top right on the claimform is ONE in the 33 day count) dx

    • 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.

Why do you all think you have the "RIGHT" to frozen interest???

 

I don't think anyone referred to it as a 'right'. However, in most cases, it is in the interests of debtor and creditor for interest to be frozen or significantly reduced. If interest is so high relative to the payment then the debtor will soon lose heart in paying off the debt. So no-one gains in the long-term with an attitude of 'we owe you nothing.'

 

The company has done more than it should of by freezing your interest and reducing your payments - no high street lender would do this.

 

Yes, they would.

 

You are all quick to take the money but when it comes to paying it back you start moaning you are being robbed!

 

My experience of most people on this forum is that most want to pay the debt but Welcome's business practices are so vague, unfair and punitive in terms of charges, insurances, interests, fees, etc. that most people have paid the debt and more back but still have outstanding balances. People have little choice but to retaliate.

 

In my experience of many creditors, Welcome operate a policy of deliberate obfuscation and it is this which frustrates and infuriates customers. WFS had a good business model once upon a time and they screwed it up. Their fault, no-one else's.

Get a grip!!!!

 

As for harrassment - I suggest you take a look at The Admininstration of Justice Act Section 40 - I doubt you have any griunds for harrassment!

 

 

I havent seen anyone state they have the RIGHT to frozen interest??

Most high street lenders will freeze interest if its in their interests, I can vouch that Lloyds will.

 

Most people have paid double what they borrowed and still have an extortionate balance is that not unfair? especially when made up of 'ad hoc' and excessive charges?

I do agree that some people jump on the bandwagon but these people dont tend to be on forums like this researching how they can exercise their rights and what those rights are they are the ones that refuse to pay the whole time and then shout about it

And what gives you the right to charge 10 pounds for a phone call to just harress your customers who generally can not pay.No one is moaning about paying the money back they just dont want to end up paying about 10 grand for a 3 grand loan.

In genuine cases I do sympathise with customers, but I have to say a lot of people jump on the bandwagon for the ride -these are the people I get very annoyed with.

 

 

Lets say I understand this statement, then why do you jump on a forum and automatically judge the real people that make a post on here out of desperation . . . . . Fro the posts you have made so far you have shown no sympathy or empaphy . . . . why do you not try helping somone and you have my word it will make you feel better . . . . or are you seriously not capable of that ?

Excuse ME! Who the heck do you think you are? Do you Know my personal circumstances? Do you know WHY they froze the interest in the first place? Do you Know why they want to put interest back onto the account? Do you know the reason's why i have paid back nearly £4000 with another £1,200 left to pay for a £2000 Loan? From 5 years ago? Do you know why Most WFS Employees are Rude, Ignorant, Smarmy gits who haven't got an ounce of empathy in their bones. So instead of coming on here with constructive advice and insider knowledge you choose to slag and belittle people off. You are just one of the reason's why customers are so dissatisfied with WFS.

CRG, well said on your last post exactly right , but dont ever give them the satisfaction of getting you down.

 

That letter of confirmation is good as it proves received so they have to comply aothough only 10 pounds is for your SAR the other pound is your CCA but hey like I said at least they cant claim not received.

Hi, sorry if someone has already said this, but you have been paying PPI on the loan why can't you claim on it as you haven't been well?

 

As the the Ex employee - don't judge people without knowing the facts and how does it feel to be so perfect? People like you need a have a good look at yourself. One day (and hopefully soon) you may need some advice on a matter.

You would need to contact direct group on 0844 412 4100 or visit:

 

Direct Group - Contact Us

 

I would be wary on this though:

 

Firstly if you call up just ask general questions, insurers don't generally cover depression so just ask if they do. If they did and you claimed you would fill in a form and this would give them permission to contact your doctor. AT THIS STAGE DO NOT REVEAL WHO YOU ARE!

 

Secondly, the reason for not revealing who you are is that if you later claim for misselling of PPI, Welcome will use this as a reason to not pay you back. They will point out that as you claimed, you needed the cover, knew you had it and wanted the cover so were not misled - BE VERY CAREFUL therefore.

Hi guys ive been reading through lots and lots of the Threads on here and Boy does it give me food for thought, especially when i was thinking it was just me who was unsatisfied with Welcome. The info regarding my aco**** is on the Welcome UNfreezing interest thread. Now at this pont in time my aco**** is £1,200 owing after 5 years and originally borrowing "2,000. I pay £50 per month direct debit and i have sent the SAR to Welcome and they have wrote back to acknowledge this. Do i have a case to reclaim the Missold PPi and Homecare/Life care Charges they put on my account or will they try and bamboozle me with T&C's etc . Oubviously when i recieve all of my CCA back form welcome we can have a proper look through it, Im just a bit Daunted by the battle ahead. ANy advice would be great Thank you :)

Cityred, posted on your other post before, I would say that if you feel that you were missold the ppi and other insurances, either because you did not understand the products, where told that they needed you to have this to get the loan to go through then of course you have a case for a claim.

 

You are exactly right in saying though, wait for your SAR and CCA back and it will lead to people on here being best placed to assist..

 

The biggest lesson I have learned from this site is that Welcome play very dirty but are more often than not caught out! If you think that complaining to Welcome and their resultant repsonses are more like steps on your journey to justice as opposed to the final destination then you will be fine.

 

From memory they have already provided you with good enough grounds for a formal complaint but you might as well hit them with everything once you have all of the relevant information in hand, it will hurt them more!
