    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.
    • paypal, but i would like to know if anyone knows if there is a certain time limit they have to refund you? thanks
    • Dear lookinforinfo, I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but what exactly am I telling them? -what code/ law / standard have they broken that I will use as an argument in letter? I don't understand the premise of your argument.  I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me clearly and in simple terms so that I understand.  Thank you

    • Agreed, let them default. Keep everything in writing, if they ring to discuss the accounts over the phone, simply say 'everything in writing please', and hang up. They'll soon get the message. Get all of your paperwork in order too, if you haven't got any, or are missing relevant documents, then you can SAR the original creditor, which is free and they have 30 days to supply the info. Keep a diary of events too. sit back and relax, YOU'RE in control, not them.

    • 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 all

 

after redeeming my mortgage with GMAC i was stunned to have over 2k charge added in. I still paid it went merrily on my deluded way to swift!!! Already claiming charges back from them and have know had the nerve to contact GMAC re charges. Got them in post with yes you guessed it....no explanation of how they arrived at the 2k figure. Plus there were over 300.00 late fees so have decided to go get them too....hopefully winning back all of the charges. By the way i apparently did not pay a redemption figure with GMAC ene tho the mortgage was redeemed early i just paid redemption interest which is the 2k figure. Well as someone once said if it walks like a horse, eats hay like a horse and looks like a horse then it is a horse no matter how you dress it that day!!

Hi Sues

 

I had mortgage with GMAC about 4 years ago. I think I'll check my paperwork. I know they have taken from me but will have to take a closer look. Will you go down the same route as bank charges if they ignore your LBA, ie small claims court? Also is it the same for loans secured on your property. I had one with Southern Pacific and it cost a fortune in ERC. Anyway best of luck with your claim.

Yeah small claims it will be. Im not sure about loans secured on property but would imagine it to be. Go for it with SPML as they seem to have a history of charges from whats said on here!

 

Good luck

If the secured loan is under 25K it is regulated by the CCA 1974 which sets out a formular for calculating any redemption figure. You can check with Trading standards as to whether it is lawful or not. They have software where they just type in the figures and it comes up with what the figure should be.

 

Hope this helps

Letter arrived from GMAC today. Now they have decided the compliance manager cannot deal with my complaint??? and as i have sent further correspondance (LBA cos time was up) before they have had time to send me a sod off letter, that have now sent my case to be dealt with the legal team. Wonder what the thinking is behind this? Wonder when they are going to answer LBA? Are they going to let me apply to court and add interest? Anyone have any thoughts on this i would be grateful to hear them.

Quick update on Gmac

 

Had sod off letter and we went off to file in court. They have decided to defend the case and we have had AQ. This was completed with help from the forum (thnk you!) and have recieved theirs (day late but hey ho!) I want small claims they want multi track!

 

We now have allocation hearing date st for March...and just in case we have ppl from GMAC on here watching(as if eh)..bring it on i have a great CPR book which states all the 5 sections the judge must take into consideration before deciding on the track. I look forward to the allocation hearing date!
