    • There are 10 pages, and the other 9 are standard. E.g. ask me whether plea or not, my information etc. I would like to send another begging letter, but there’s no email address of the prosecutor.😭
    • correct thats all they are duty bound to supply. what else were you expecting it to provide? dx    
    • you seriously need to read up here then you'd know these answers. and TBH you are panicking about a nothing burger. the process they must follow is: send a letter of claim. ASK northants bulk to raise a court claim. IF IF IF you lose and a judgement CCJ is granted, THEN they have 6yrs to enforce said judgement, but ofcourse this is a debt regulated by the consumer credit act so there is NO right of forced entry even if they do return to court within 6yrs from judgement and again ASK the court to send bailiffs out. as for statute barring, the 6yrs SB starts ticking from the issuance date of the default notice+14 days or from the date of YOUR last payment/use of the credit...whichever is the LATER. the issuance of a court claim (regardless to if it progresses anywhere) stops the SB clock.
    • sorry but we need the full n244, their witness statement and ALL exhibits to one mass PDF please to properly advise. we do not need statements or blank forms or info leaflets. if Kearns have sent you their N180 then.... https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/347310-legal-n180-directions-questionnaire-small-claims-track/#comment-5088148 3 copies yes to mediation (unless you filed our Statute Barred Defence OR this is a claim for a Private Parking Ticket) 1 wit you Suitability for determination without a hearing? no (that the issues are so complex they need to be argued orally') the rest is obv 1 to the court 1 to their sols (omit phone/sig/email) if no sols send to claimant 1 for your file ................. if they've sent an N181 please advise here. dx      
    • you dont have to await the 50% time to come, she could VT today and you hand the car back and then only have the remaining sum to the 50% mark to pay going fwd. just stopping paying is not really a worthy way forward, as if if if they were to goto court and attain a return of goods order, then she would be liable to hand the car back and have to pay the full sum on the agreement, just like if she were to let them just repo the car now, under Voluntary Termination, both of which you need to avoid...so do a VT ASAP. if she wants to keep the car, then do a time order. as for advice on other sites, which you should not be refering too anyway, use CAG, they always fall toward finance co's getting their maximum buck.

    • 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, I have a question for someone, if you'd be so kind.

 

Regarding support for mortgage interest, how much of the interest on a mortgage does the scheme cover?

 

For instance, let's say there's three people on an interest only/capital mortgage, the mortgage is 137k, all the people are now on benefit due to sudden illness/sickness

 

Let's assume for the moment the mortgage costs £650 a month, half of which is interest only, so £325.

 

Would the government cover the entire £325?

 

Also, if the mortgage was interest only, would they cover the entire amount?

Yes, so if our mortgage was interest only, at 3.X percent and cost us say, £300 a month, would they cover the full amount?

 

(I/We are NOT trying to rip the government off, we're just in a state where we need help, or we'll lose our home)

 

Assuming we kept our current interest/repayment mortgage, I assume the mortgage company would still insist we pay the repayment right?

There's three names, yes

We want to get one of the names removed at some point, as he hasn't been paying his share of the mortgage

So I'm thinking we should switch to an interest only mortgage for £137,000 for the time being, until both of us are well enough to work again

If there are three names on the mortgage then the dwp will only pay a third, I believe - so each person needs to claim mortgage interest for their third - except if two of the people are married or partners, then their one income based claim would cover two thirds and the other person would need to vlaim their third.

 

Not sure I've explained that very well.

Yea that's what we found out just recently

I was the only claimant, my dad didn't realise he could claim, as he currently gets pension credit, so he claimed a week ago (Hasn't had confirmation or whatnot yet, but he did get the application to take to the mortgage company)

Uncle (the idiot who we want removed) also claimed, as he's currently claiming disability/sickness, despite working for cash in hand.

And before I confront my father tomorrow, can I just confirm, once again, IF the government covers the interest part of our mortgage, the mortgage company will still expect us to pay the repayment part, correct?

 

For some reason my dad is of the belief that if we have the interest part covered, the mortgage company won't care about the repayment.

no, your mortgage repayment is arranged between you and the mortgage company - if there's any shortfall after the mortgage interest has been paid by the DWP, then you have to make up the difference.

 

Some mortgage companies may be prepared to allow reduced payments for a period of time, or allow you to rearrange what you pay. But you would need to contact them to find out.

I did say that if the rate was below 3.65 it would cover the Interest Only portion of the mortgage. If Adams rate is higher than 3.65 he will have to cover the excess even on an interest only mortgage. Thats why I asked what the current rate was.

 

The FSA have said that lenders should allow changes to mortgages for customers in distress although I know that some lenders are very awkward about this. Some have stipulations regarding the equity amount eg if the loan to value of the mortgage is more than 70% they will not allow the change to Interest Only payments.

Sorry are you responding to my post - we posted close together and my post was in response to Adam's not yours. I was simply stating yes he would have to cover any shortfall between whatever his mortgage payment was and the dwp interest payment - and yes, regardless of the type of mortgage deal. I wasn't contradicting you - we're saying the same thing.

In my situation, my lender agreed to accept interest only for a period, this was reviewed on a 3 montly basis. I inititially got the higher 6% rate which covered the interest and some of the repayment, then it changed to the 3% rate (its not fixed its based on average or BoE rate plus something%), luckily my mortgage reached the end of its 5.5% fixed period and fell onto the lenders 2.5% rate so I wasnt too badly off.

 

Found a job since then, so problem solved (for a year anyway !).

To answer your questions, I'm not sure what interest rate we're on, but it IS the lower amount, our original 6% ended back in October, so I "think" it's 3.5%ish.

 

Well..be sure to contact them straight away and find out and tell them the cirtcumstances, keeping them informed is key to sortting it out.
