    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

Borrowing to a degree is important but borrowing at 69%? I hope your not justifying that? If so then I'll be shocked. However I would never argue that being treated badly is acceptable.

 

My points are valid. Want proof? Look at the economy! That is the result of greed from both lenders & borrowers. Glad they have scrapped 110% - even 125% morgages. Don't you think that's obscene? From both parties?

 

If people only borrowed what they could afford (I accept there are exceptional circumstances btw) then companies like welcome & provident wouldn't exist.

 

I may have inferred incorrectly that some of you aren't taking responsability and for that I'm sorry but 69% loans? And to sign that dotted line? It takes 2 parties to enter a contract and both parties can funk it up. It seems in the case it's welcomes fault 100% without exception.

 

The OP wrote with sarcasm but he has a point many people have borrowed through greed and now they suffering the consequences.

 

I can't possibly win this debate as I have little back up and I have no desire to offend anyone as were all in the boat. I just don't think we can agree that borrowing at 69% does the world any favours so I say roll on the days when you only bought what you could afford

Ahh leelakey, the voice of a dissatisfied youth. I guess your brain has somehow decided that unless everyone agrees with you then they MUST be a staff member of welcome finance

 

I actually work as a resource planner for RAC auto windscreens (now sold by Aviva and bought by a german parent company re-branded as 'auto windscreens')

 

If that's the best insults you've got then I suggest you sharpen your wit by watching Brass Eye. I would even list my work tel no but what do I have to prove to a dude like you? Jog on

Sorry for the delay in replying, the bloke just turned up to regas my air con; that is the air con on MY car that I bought for CASH after Welcome ILLEGALLY repossessed my car. My issue with Welcome was NEVER about the money it was ALWAYS about the principle. I found a car that I wanted in 2006 at a very cheap price, it just so happened it was in a garage that was "in bed with" Welcome Finance had an underhanded, secret commission based bias relationship with them which, incidentally I didn't know at the time. So I didn't choose to have my finance with them, I chose a very reasonably priced car that I could easily afford to have on finance. I was also happy to have the insurances, (even though I was told they were compulsory), to protect me. Only they didn't protect me at all!!! Hence the beginning of my complaints that got totally ignored and eventually resulted in the illegal repossession of my car after I had been paying for almost 4 years.

 

You say you have no intention to offend people?? Well coming on to a Welcome Finance forum and lumping together everybody who took finance with Welcome as irresponsible, greedy and unable to manage their own finances is going to have little other effect than to offend!

 

"My points are valid. Want proof? Look at the economy! That is the result of greed from both lenders & borrowers. Glad they have scrapped 110% - even 125% morgages. Don't you think that's obscene? From both parties?"

No I bloody well don't!! Who do you think I am?? Judge and jury of lenders and borrowers??

Equally, if Welcome choose to offer 69% loans and people choose to accept then that is their personal choice. We have no right to admonish people for the choices they make, to each his own.

 

You really believe the recession is solely the result of 110% and 125% mortgages?? As I said, to each his own, and if that is your opinion then you are entitled to it. I know somebody who had a 125% mortgage and they found it a very reasonable way to pay off expensive credit at a much lower rate, they have never missed a payment. I'm sure banks using tax payers money from bail outs to pay themselves millions of pounds in bonuses didn't contribute at all! But that's just my opinion, which I am entitled to.

 

But I hardly think you came on here to criticise Welcome's APR and the consumers who accept it??!

If you did then you might as well have come on saying you disagree with men wearing socks with sandals! The point is, you are not the judge and jury of the financial sector nor the actions of the people in it! Do you live in a glass house by any chance?

 

I don't think you'll find any threads called "I took out finance with WF at an extortionate APR and now I want to complain about it."

 

"I may have inferred incorrectly that some of you aren't taking responsability and for that I'm sorry but 69% loans?"

You may have inferred????:confused: It's been the whole basis of every one of your posts!!

 

"It seems in the case it's welcomes fault 100% without exception."

I think you may have missed the point of this forum. For the purpose of clarity; this forum is where people who have been wronged by Welcome can come to get help with their situations from others in the same position. Therefore it's highly unlikely to represent a fair consensus of Welcome customers!

 

"The OP wrote with sarcasm but he has a point many people have borrowed through greed and now they suffering the consequences."

I absolutely agree! Many people have borrowed through greed and are now suffering, but you won't find any of those people here. Refer to my paragraph above!!

 

I was VERY offended at your comment that having children is a "luxury"!! Having children is how the human race survives! If people don't have children then what do you think will happen to the economy you are already so appalled by in the future??? Are you suggesting that only rich people should be allowed to have children??? Having a child is every woman's human right devoid of prejudice and judgment NOT a flaming luxury reserved the most well off!!

 

And you had no intention of offending anyone?? Well then you should think more carefully before you make flippant comments like that! You are perfectly entitled to your opinions, but don't think you will be afforded the "luxury" of not offendeding people!

 

"I can't possibly win this debate as I have little back up"

"Win"??? Now who's got an axe to grind?? I thought you wanted to have a discussion not a competition about who's going to "win"?? If you want to accuse people of grinding axes you should look at yourself first.

 

"little back up"?? On the contrary, you have a lot of back up. You've got my back up for a start!!!:mad:

Now there's a co-incidence if ever there was one! I've got my car insurance with Aviva and I just had Auto Windscreens out this morning to replace my cracked windscreen! So us greedy, irresponsible people with the "luxury" of owning a car have just contributed to your wages!!

"Name calling"??? Where did you get that from?? Nobody called you anything!! You're the only one being disgruntled because people don't agree with you! All the posts here have been in the manner of having a "discussion", but you clearly have no intention of discussing anything as you've got your opinion and regardless of how many times others are putting forward their answers to the issues you raise, you just plain don't want to listen.

 

There are no "vile" posts, (apart from the ones you've made), only well informed arguments in response to your provocative and offensive allegations.

 

As you have failed to address any of the issues raised by others and responded to allegations that were never even made; firstly, you are no better than Welcome and secondly, before you question other peoples' intelligence I suggest you question your own. Your spelling and grammar is atrocious to the point it's practically illegible and your inabilty to digest and comprehend the points people are making speaks volumes.

 

You are the only one being childish on this thread, resorting to insults, name calling and a lack of comprehension is not only a sign of diminished intelligence but also a deficiency in reasoned debating skills and humanity.

 

I'm not going to justify your comment about children with a response; needless to say we are all blessed that you haven't procreated and further infiltrated your childrens' minds with prejudiced, judgmental and ill informed attitudes.

 

Incidentally, my inspiration is my children and I theirs.

 

As for your wish for Welcome to screw us over; they've been doing that for years anyway, hence the need for this forum!

 

I'm afraid I can't help you with your other wish, but I sincerely wish you all the best in your quest for it. I genuinely hope you succeed, because let's face it, you're never going to be able to satisfy a woman with your intelligent conversational skills :x

Oh dear richard, as wannabe's partner I for one can tell you, you have bitten off more than you can chew.

 

The children comment you made was in rather poor taste. Bad one.

I think I am sick in the head, I have some kind of warped sense of humour (well I know I have )

 

What idiot sends an e mail to a solicitors firm, insulting them, and threatening legal action, potentially opening a can of worms, and leaving me and my family, and our home, wide open to a heap of trouble, court costs, and hassle for the next few months, but cant help but grin like a Cheshire cat once I had hit the send button on the email

 

Its madness, but it feels good to fight back !

In all honesty I feel you got what you came looking for, you deliberately posted to get a reaction you just werent prepared for how strongly people feel about this subject as for bringing children into the equation we will be the judge of if we can afford them. Im very glad you dont have any as your attitude is appalling! As for intelligence, its nice to see you are so much more highly educated than the rest of us that you didnt have the sense to not bother with your ridiculous accusations and comments. There is something to be said for common sense, educational intelligence can be taught!
