    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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 everyone, im knew to the forum, this being my first post after trawling the web for answer to my problems i have decided to get some more direct and personal answer to try and achieve justice on these monsters.

 

I took out a loan with Welcome Finance for £5,000 @ £219 PM x 36 = £7,884. I am somehow incurring Capitalisation of £177.34 to £192.99 a month and it is destroying me. I have no ides what is is and am desperate to get rid of this loan, i asked them to lower my payments for a few months whilst i was unemployed and they refused to so i basically told them i cannot afford to pay you then and they just left me to go in to arrears.

 

I have since read up on them and discovered all this stuff about possibily bankrupcty/admin? And all their tricks to try and squeeze cash out of us and it is disguisting. I receive phone calls every day from a branch manager who sounds like hes lost the will to live and even receive the odd house visit which they apparently charge for. I am desperate to get a loan elsewhere and be rid of them so what can i do to sort this out its upsetting me and keeping me up at night worrying over my debts. I have somehow managed to have a closing balance of £6,176.67 on my last statement!! I cant afford to keep paying £219 as its crippling me as well as these charges they are implementing so what do i do?

 

Please help, Josh!

Capitalisation is another name for interest.

 

Dont let these sc*mbags get you down

 

Do you have a copy of your agreement you can scan in delete personal info and paste here?

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:

Hi Jooshy,

Just found this on the main thread for you.....

 

.......... you can request a copy of your finance agreement under the CCA

 

something like this should do :-

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re:− Account/Agreement Number :- XXXXXXX Customer Number:- XXXXXXX (If Applicable)

With reference to the above agreement, we would be grateful if you would send us a copy of this credit agreement.

 

We understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77−79), we are entitled to receive a copy of our credit agreement on request. We enclose a payment of £1.00 which represents the fee payable under the Consumer Credit Act.

 

We understand a copy of our credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days.

 

We understand that under the Consumer Credit Act creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with a request for a copy of the agreement under these sections of the Act.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

 

---------------------------------------

 

 

Good luck

Dawnx

It may be worth you sending a CCA request and Subject access requestlink3.giflink3.giflink8.gif to have a look a what Welcome have been doing to your account.

The CCA will cost £ 1 (postal order) send recorded delivery.

The Subject access requestlink3.giflink8.gif will cost £ 10 (postal order) send recorded delivery.

When sending these requests do not signlink3.giflink3.giflink8.gif your name just print.

Hi guys, left things a while got loads on at the moment. Basiclly i owe £62400 ish to WF and they have forwarded it to debt colelctors due to non-payment. Basically i lost myjob and informed them i could not meet the £220pm payments and would like to renegotiate for a whileas it was impossible to pay, WF refused several times and said to sort it out basically so i thought sod you i am not paying it as i basically cannot pay it at the moment. So a few months past and now i am in arrears and owing the said amount. Received a few letter and written back to both WF and collectors. Now the collectors sent me a letter saying to pay £3200 ish (50%) by end of July and call it quits, which is friggin excellent news apart from the obvious fact i cannot afford to do so!!! Any suggestions please guys im stuck and need some sort of repayment plan to rid of these sods asap!

Its Lewis Debt Recovery, and i have just typed up a letter to send tomorrow explaining the situation and welcomes lack of cooperation and willingness to repay the debt, just not at £220 a month. What you suggest, not sending it? 29th July is deadline for the 50% off deal so after that i guess itll go further which i dont want.

i have had 2 50% off deals in the last 6months all they will do is continue to chase, stand your ground and arrange a plan you can afford if they ignore your requests enlist the help of citizens advice if no one here can offer advice dont be bullied into promising something you cant afford because even if they were brave enough to take you to court which is unlikely the judge would only allow you to pay what you can afford by offering to pay you are showing willingness but you have to be able to live and no court in this land will dispute that!

To be honest i have no idea with regards to CCA and my account. I worked for a bank and have done my fair bit of claiming back and fighting past but this welcome stuff is a tad confusing. I will do that first if thats the best way forward? I have considered telling them to stuff it and take me to court for your £1 a week for being such a bunch of unprofessional ***** over it but its not worth totally screwing my credit file over. I will send a copy of cca tomorrow then if thats the best way forward and wait for that to arrive before jumping the gun?

If you do a CCA then you would get the agreement back hopefully. If you then scan it and remove all your personal details and then post it on here, people can see if it is enforceable etc

 

If you have been charged any late payment fees over the years, then you would be able to claim those back, along with any mis-sold PPI payments.

 

This would bring your balance down.

 

Most DCA's or OC's wouldn't normally offer 50% off unless there was something wrong with the original paperwork.

 

If you have missed payments and the DCA is up to normal tricks I would bet that your credit file is already trashed anyway.
