    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • Santander have sent their final response and have agreed that they were in the wrong. They will be refunding me the amount I am due and £50 for the delay.  Just the interest factor would be more than double the £50 that they are offering. Thinking to just close this and move on. Is this what you would do?  Opened a FOS case on the 1st of June but haven't heard back yet. 
    • It just been delivered and ive had a live chat with p2g to get some proof of deliverey and they send me a picture of the parcel placed in a gas meter box which they class as a ' 'Safe Place'  and not placed into the hands of the buyer which is either a good thing as the buyer can claim he never received It so i can claim against p2g or a bad thing . Do p2g have coordinators when taking pictures and scanning of parcels ?  I know Royal Mail do ... I'm going to send the buyer a message and see what he says

    • 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 posted last night, under the 'other institutions' heading but nobody has replied and I've scoured the boards but can only find one other person dealing with them and hers is a mortgage dispute.

Mine is regarding a car finance. I'm not even 100% that I can claim against them cos this whole oft debate seems to be about banks, credit cards, store cards etc but nobody mentions hire purchase agreements. My finance is due to be paid off in 3 weeks so I'm keen to get this moving.

Has anyone had any kind of response from Online Finance?

Thanks

My dealings with Online Finance have been totally appalling...

 

I handed back the car voluntarily, but now they're being arsey about things, saying that they will counterclaim if I lodge a claim with them.

 

Apart from that, have no other dealings.

I see your post is a good few months old now. If you still need help pm me and I will help you as best I can. I purchased a car from Carcraft in November 2000 and finished paying off the car in 2005. During the 5 years I was with On:Line they charged me simewhere in the region of £1000 in arrears / breach of contract. I've recently gone through the motions with them and issues a notice of claim to them on Frdiay last week.

 

Let me know if you still need a helping hand.

I sent the 1st request and the LBA. I have a thread about it somewhere but i seem to have been sidetracked for a while!

I've just written a letter to get them to stop processing my data, for no other reason than I don't want them on my file and i've drafted the MCOL statement. I may actually file it tomorrow when i get paid.:D

 

They are obnoxious sh*tes but i'm sure i've read a winning thread on here somewhere. Somebody gained a judgement due to on:line not defending and got a judgement that way. On:line refused to pay and the bailiffs were threatened. I hope I get to that stage, i'd video it

 

here you go, have a read of this:

I had to complain to ICO to get my statements, it's taken 3 months to get them!!

I'll follow your thread with interest then, hopefully it'll give me some idea what I'm in for!! - mind you can't be any worse than my current claim with Lloyds which is for less money!!! (£350) - and I thought getting 6.5K from HSBC was hard!

Keep us posted!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dai, The original address I sent my pre lim and LBA letters to were the address listed below:-

 

On:Line Finance limited

Heol Gamlas

Parc Nantgarw,

Treforest Industrial Estate

Treforest

Cardiff

CF15 7QU

 

When I finally managed to get a response from On:Line Finance it was was from a gentleman by the name of Mark Rowan at the below address:-

 

Mark Rowan

Customer Complaints Officer

General Motors Acceptance Corporation (UK) plc

Wesley House

19 Chapel Street

Luton

Bedfordshire

LU1 2SE

 

Personally I would stick with the On:Line Finance address and send everything there. That office is still obviously active as they have been forwarding all of my letters to GMAC. Who by the way have now taken over On:Line Finance.

 

If you haven't already done so mate, start your own thread so that I and everyone else can keep progress on how you get on with them. If you need any help be sure to check my thread or pm or any of the thread mods. Hang on in there buddy I've filed against them last Friday for just under 1k's worth of admin charges over a 3 year period. And believe you me they are horrible, arrogant people to deal with.

Hi George,

 

I've just entered judgement by default against On:Line for £1000. As they are such a nasty bunch of people to deal with i've also taken the opportunity to request payment due immediately. Seeing as they are in arrears i've also issued a request for warrant of execution.

 

I would love nothing more than a court baliff turning up at the on;line finance offices in treforest and seizing some goods. I might try and arrange for a tv crew to be there. I hear x-ray or watchdog might be a good choice.

 

Anyways let's wait and see what happens. But they are sumbags with no remorse at all. I say claim claim claim.

Hi all,

 

i have a current live case ongoing with On:line finance, im still awaiting full disclosure from the SAR, as i received a partial disclosure a few days back. This was very sketchy and gave no real detail, though one thing it did reveal was the fact that when i paid the loan off 18 months early they failed to forward me the £657 rebate i should of received ! lol

 

can you believe it, i pay it off early and they keep the rebate themselves, and also for good measure charge me about £900 in fee's.

 

This case has not concluded and i guarantee that they will pay in the end ;-)

Hi all just an update from my last thread, well we went to court yesterday and lost, the judge did not want to listen to us, and ruled online as winners, so not for them to take the car back we offered £2000, that my mum offered us and £60.00 per month to pay the rest off, we are gutted, my hubby want to burn the car, and i just want to run away and hide, they are **** bags, one good things that came out of this is that the judge told me to GET BACK MY CHARGES from them which is currently £1788.98 since 2003, so i am sent SAR last night to an email address, but came back so i have posted this morning, to the trefforest address, to be honest i don't live far from trefforest and we were going to post it ourselves but hubby will probably put all their windows through lol.... anyway i'll keep you all posted about this, but please please nobody go with them ever...... they will screw you for years like they have with us....

Sorry to hear about that. I am going to try and claim my charges back of them too. Should be owed quite a fair bit, or unfair should I say. Is the SAR letter the same one as I use for the banks or can I download one specifically for this?

October - Letter sent for statements

October - Statements recived. Highlighed my charges (£2785) and sent a letter asking for the amount to be refunded in full

November - Recieved reply making an offer of £1000 which I will not be accepting.

30/11/06 - MCOL 3220.11 INC 8% - wait 14 days...(14/12/06)

Acknowledged on the last day :( 28 days to respond

03/01/07 Barclays are defending. Not sure what happens next...

 

Thanks for everyone's help so far

Hi guys,

 

sorry to hear that you've all had just as much problems with On:Line Finance ( now part of GMAC ) as I did when I had my hire purchase agreement with them.

 

I took out a £5600 HP Agreement with them in November 2000. I finished paying it off in August 2005. During my agreement they sent me numerous letters for arrears and charged me £12 per letter. Most months they sent me at least 3 of these so called arrears letters.

 

I filed against them on 29/01/07 and they had until 14/02/07 to reply. They failed to do this and on 15/02/07 the court entered a judgement by default. I asked for payment forthwith and so took out a warrant of execution against them.

 

Today I phoned them to let them know that the court baliff was going to arrive with a film crew from BBC X-ray programme and they have written and handed me a signed cheque for the full amout of fees taken, 8% s69 county court act interest, court costs and the £55 fee for the issuing of the warrant.

 

You can and WILL win against them guys, i'm living proof of that. This company will do anything they can to milk you of your money. They show no remorse and are happy to take money from you for sening out a piece of A4 paper costing no more than a £1. Court all the way with them and show NO mercy and give them NO room for negotiation.

 

Remember if they were seizing your car or taking you to court for non payment / default of agreement do you think they would be mercifull to you?????

 

If anyone needs any addresses or names ofthe people I dealt with please either post on thread or private message me.

 

I have two addresses for correspondence & service and a contact and telephone number of the senior litigations manager.

Hi to the many.

 

In 2002 my Partner bought a car from Car Craft, 6 months later it broke down so her tried to claim on the £1000 warranty he paid out but they told us it was void and was always void so we were left with a garage bill of £400 so we tried everything to cancel this warranty and payment protection. We told them that we were going to struggle with payments and will have to miss one month but will pay the arrears over the next two months payments. They not only didnt listen but they proceeded to send us 4 letters in one week charging us £15 a letter telling us that we were late with payment we caught up with the missed payment but by then we owed so much in admin charges they repossed they car in 2004 but told us that because we had paid over £2000 on a loan amount of £4700 and have returned the car we didnt need to pay anything again. In 2005 we bought our house using GMAC not knowing this was online finance. In 2007 we received a CCJ summons from a solicitor demanding £10,000 which we obviously disputed. They are now saying that if my partner dosnt agree to securing the debt of now £4800 on our property and pay it back at £130 a month they debt of £10,000 will increase. They have sent this with our county courts letter head as a Tomlin Order but the court hasnt stamped it. Is this legal and can the do this as this is not my debt but it is both our house? They have given us 10 days to reply and what puzzles me is why give us a mortgage (which is no longer with them) if we owed them £10,000. I'm running out of fight please someone tell me they won their battle.

Frazzle i'm sorry to hear about all the grief you've been getting from these people but knowing them as i do i'm not at all surprised.

Unfortunately i'm not in the seem situation as you. I only took them to court to reclaim my charges which they refused to do until the court summons hit them. They then paid up pronto and wiped out the so called debt I owed them:).

They can be beaten but they do use bullying tactics. But to be honest the last thing I would ever do is put a charge against my house. You could accept the CCJ and plead your case to the judge couldn't you?

Im sorry its took so long to get back to you but thanks for the advice. It went back to court on the 14 July but yet again I wasnt informed of the time so I have to wait another 2 months to be told what happened as they dont release any information if they dont want to. Fingers crossed.:rolleyes:

i know this is an old thread, but really need some advice please...

 

in 2001 my husband bought a car from carcraft and was set up with finance for it from online finance, he drove away with the car that day.

he paid half of the agreement and handed back the car - with damages

 

online started to chase for £2k worth of damage..my husband asked for some proof of said damage and costs - he never recd this

 

they chased off an on for years but we never paid a penny

 

in nov 2007 my husband recd a letter stating there was to be a court case for a charge on our property for £7k+, unfortunatly my mum was killed that same day and it went on the back burner, because of this we were unable to change the court venue and it went ahead with out us and the judge awarded in their favour....

 

we havent heard a thing until now - they have sent a letter stating that we are to be charged interest and so the debt is increasing.

 

my husband called this morning, explained the above, and filed an official complaint with them, we know there is a long road ahead but was wonderin if anyone could please give us some advice, this seems so unfair

 

many thanks all
