    • 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.

Not sure where to start with this as I seem to banging my head against a brick wall.

Went to Ucan in Chertsey to purchase a car back in January 2007. 7 hours later we left there with a new car after being fobbed off that the systems were down and everything had to be done via fax. Not the best way to spend a day with a 2 year old!

We then spent the next 6 months refusing to make payment ( not using the vehicle) and demanding they return our part ex due to problems with the vehicle and it took 5 months to get our first response! ( should have known from day one that this was going to end badly!) After receiving payment from welcome for the relevant repairs on the vehicle we decided to stick with it and keep the car.

Back in April 09 my new business was struggling and i called welcome to tell them to cancel the agreement and return the car as we had paid off over £7000 of the figure on a £13,000 loan and i just didn't want the headache of finding any money i didn't have. In the true banking style they told me they could half the repayment and half the interest to make it more affordable.

For 6 months I made those payments and then struggled again.

I made a payment on 18.02.2010 after receiving a Notice of Sums arrears and spoke to someone about my problems and then agreed to get payments back on track as there was a 5 months outstanding.

The guy said it was fine if I could start to make regular payment. Unfortunately I never got his name.

On Friday 19th March at 7:20pm a guy turns up at my door telling me he is taking my car. I tried speaking to Welcome Finance but there is no one of any use in that late and we were given a name of someone to talk to Monday but we had to release the car.

The following morning we received a letter from welcome sent second class saying they were lifting the vehicle referring to a default notice dated 11/02/2010. The only letter we have is the notice of sums arrears which surprisingly has that date on!.

I spoke to welcome today and specified the person we were told to call....... No such person!! Welcome are now telling me that when i agreed to reduce the payments and half the interest, i was in fact taking out a new HP on the car and the £7100 i have paid them is irrelevant, the car is theirs and I'm liable for the new loan of £13,652.24!!

I know its long winded, but someone please help

I'm on the verge of breaking down. My wife hasn't stopped crying and my kids are starting to wonder what the problem is.

I'm not sure where I stand and what to do. I have no idea if I signed a new agreement as I was struggling with everything. I now have no car and a serious debt on my head although I've paid off over half of it.

Its highly likely they did make a new agreement if they halved it because thats exactly what they did to us and spread it over 10yrs without bothering to mention it! Hope post can sort this out for you.

 

Post any joy with mine ive had just about enough with it all now.

Ok don't worry, I think the best thing for you to do is sent off a credit agreement request and a subject access request. That way you will get to see the "new" agreement, (if there is one), and any default and termination notices they "allegedly" sent you.

 

If it's any consolation, they probably won't hassle you for the outstanding amount; they just seem hell bent on stealing peoples' cars at the minute. But that's just my opinion based on their recent pattern of behaviour.

 

Once you've got your CCA and any DN you will more than likely have plenty of defence should they take it further. Even more likely though, you'd have plenty evidence to take issue with them!! :D

 

Please keep your chin up, I know how you feel, but all is not lost :)
