    • as this situation has now come up again for you, how confident are you that if you get on the straight and narrow with having a respite of 60days (Options for dealing with your debts: Breathing Space (Debt Respite Scheme) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)... would you then be able to resume ok? if not quite honestly, the very best thing you can do is to get ALL your debts defaulted by the issuance of and the registering of a Default Notice from each creditor. this is done by stopping ALL PAYMENTS, it wont hurt you short term, esp as all the debts are still with the Original Creditors. this of course will kill credit for 6yrs, but, will cause the debts to vanish from your file (paid or not, paying or not) on the DN's 6th B'day, but of course that wont mean the debts are not still owed, legally, just your file will be clear of them all. if you read a good 10-20 of the stories in this very same forum you found to start yours, you'll soon get the idea behind the advice given. as for things like IVA/BK etc NEVER EVER do those, that secures unsecured debt. just contact one of the free DMP providers and get breathing space implemented, that gives you a 60 day buffer to firm up your future actions. but DO NOT enter into a DMP, do one yourself. they can be a bit pushy, but simply insist you just want breathing space invoked, i would only be giving them enough info to achieve BS too, don't give them anything you don't need too, they are funded by the banks and debt collectors and can sometimes be over intrusive and nosy wanting info that is better not revealed. dx    
    • “Not realising it was a no parking zone” doesn’t help you if the timing is correct, as (at least, on Google Maps / View) there is clear signage ('7am to midnight', parked at 15:22) What might be worth pursuing is the "ticket handed to driver" aspect : do you have any view on why they would be  stating that?
    • it's 85k of turnover (well, now £90k). However, you're digging yourself into another hole here. That ship has probably long since sailed. Is it worth pursuing this? You're not going to get anything back from it either way.
    • Hi,   A few pointers from yesterday to take note of evris cpr 27.9 failed again so we should really make issue of this also their WX fail to comply with CPR so again we should take issue with their statement of truth  you cant get tort if you get damages under subsection 7 of CRA because its double recovery  - not sure what we think of this? however its the first time i saw the judges make reference to your non automatic rights from s49 which s54 and 57 assist with. We should start stating this specifically for claims as I think its much better than just 49 and 57 as we need to make it clear where our non automatic rights come from as 54 automatic frankly dont help  I have sent the claim form and defences to the admin email because I can’t upload them for some reason as it wont let me but thought this may help as its the first time we’ve taken tort to trial. although i think the DDJ was honestly struggling to understand some parts of the law because he was asking me about them and how he should interpret them, especially for the automatic. Will apply for transcript if you want it?

    • 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,

 

I just thought i'd note my experience with Wonga on these forums...I used these forums alot over the last few weeks to help solve my issues with Wonga.

 

Firstly I don't condone these awful companies with their ridiculous APR's but I got myself stuck in a rut and couldn't help but rely on Wonga as an income for a short period of time.

 

I got myself up to £800 in debt with Wonga, getting paid £1000 a month from my employment..... as you can imagine I was pretty screwed.

 

I obviously missed my payment from Wonga.

 

I sent a template letter to Wonga, detailing how I wanted to be contacted and how I wanted to go forward and why I missed my payments, the next day I receive an email saying my payment plan has been set up.

 

Nice and easy really, I have a simple repayment plan of £100 a month until my loan is settled (Frozen interest also)

 

Wonga isn't as bad as it was made out to be, I am certainly happy that I am out of the constant loop that are payday loans, and I wish the same for everybody else.

 

Best Wishes

 

Dave.

Nice to hear Dave, but I would reserve judgement to when the debt is paid off because it is a well known fact that this industry says one thing and does another.

 

Ill keep my fingers crossed for you.

 

Oh and if you have not got this agreement in writing I strongly suggest you write in and get that just in case.

 

Regards

They say they have used the forum over the last couple of weeks but that was their first post... very strange...

 

I reserve judgement on this but suspect we have a TROLL - so watch out people on this part of the forum for strange emails....

yeah sounds wonga's pr machine. I am interesting as I left a rather unflattering testimony yet they neglect to publish it in their testimonials page. Still unprofessional and still do NOT respond to contact. We'll soon see if they respond to the fos!!!!!

I can hand on heart say i'm not a troll :) but i must have been lucky with Wonga.

 

I've been dealing with Alan in their collections team and haven't had any problems as long as i pay what was agreed on the day it's due.

 

This was my biggest payday loan debt as well so i was shocked that i was able to set up an arrangement quite easily.

 

Just to be on the safe side though, after reading these posts, i've checked i have a copy of the arrangement :D

It's that DAVB231 registered on 6th July posted the message at the same time and hasn't been back since!!!!

 

Like I said Wonga's PR machine. I think they may be starting to feel so pressure. About time too.

I would suggest emailing them stating you can't repay them on time. Say you have other commitments and that you can offer them whatever over whatever period of time providing they freeze interest and cards.

 

DO NOT give them your card details otherwise they will attempt to constantly withdraw money from your account.

Chez, the person who started this post is WONGA - they didnt agree to a plan with him!! Read the posts...

 

Thank You for this Jamie , I have read the posts and I was asking LJD2009 how they had gone about getting a repayment plan not the person who started the post I just wanted to clear that up with you ......
