    • 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.

First time poster long time troll....

 

Long story short, have four credit cards that I am struggling to pay off. Have contacted them all and have set up reduced payments plans etc. Had been paying egg 50 quid a month as part of the arrangement, then get a letter from Capitol Credit Agency acting on behalf of Egg ( part of Egg so the lad on the phone tells me ) Apparently Egg havent got an arrangement in place and want to go through my I and E and set something up. I find it slighty rubbish that Egg 'cant' find the call or have lost my I and E paperwork. What of the following do I do

 

1, Send them the CCA letter and take the bull by the horns and go for it? if so do I send it to Egg or Capitol Credit Agency?

 

2......Erm, what other options do I have?, struggle and pay there agreed figure that they come up with based upon my I and E.

 

Any input now matter how small would be appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

Hi durty

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

1. you can CCA either. I always CCA the last person to have demanded money for an alleged debt. CCAgencies will then pass this to Egg.

 

2. you could send your own limited I&E with an offer of payment of what you can afford based on them freezing interest and charges. Your affordable offer should really be pro-rate to what you you are paying others.

 

It's your decision though.

 

best wishes

Thanks Vic,

 

If I ask for my agreement and they produce it will that affect my chances of sorting out a payment plan later on with them?

 

If for example my CCA comes back and its not worth the paper its written on then what happens?

Yes, there are charges you can re-claim, could be worth your while sending a SAR to the origional creditor of each.

Thanks Maroon, and Vic.

 

I appreciate it. I have Albion chasing me for money today. They have an old address ( 2 years out of date in fact ) for me but a current phone number and I only gave them my new address so the bloke couldn't find my account, quoted Data protection and he shouldnt be talking to me etc.

 

I cant seem to find an address for Halifax/Albion to send a CCA request to? Also what relevance is 2007 to the agreement? are they less likely to have the CCA or something of that ilk?

Regarding the pre 2007 CCA, a lot of the older CCAs were/are unenforceable because they do not contain the prescribed terms i.e., APR%, credit limit, repayment terms etc.

Cheers Scott, out of my four credit cards only one is pre 2007!

 

Sorry for all the questions but what happens to my credit rating if they decide that I dont have to pay them back if the CCA is unenforeablce, does it show that I refused to pay it back?

 

My credit is pretty shot anywho but thought Id ask.

 

Thanks again

I'm not sure about that one, I take it if they have already defaulted you that will remain.

Haven't CCA requested them yet but they wrote to me today to say my account has been closed and asked me to cut the card up and return it in the pre paid envelope provided. Shame they hadn't provided one so Ill be keeping it then. Numpties!

  • 2 months later...

Right bit of an update on egg responding to my CCA request. Had a standard letter saying that they have enclosed my agreement and that I should continue to make payments yadda yadda.

 

But the agreemtne they have sent was obviously done on-line as rather than a signature there is a box I have ticked and below it says

 

( This is instead of providing your signature )

 

Almost looks like a screen print off of a PC or something.

 

Are they allowed to have a tock box rather than a signature?

If applied for on-line can you remember which year, after Dec 2004 with any online agreements a 'tick' in the box would suffice for a signature.
