    • This is the full SAR documents that I received. It includes the proof that they deliberately chose not to give me a physical PCN at the time of parking. W3 SAR documents .pdf
    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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 have had three loans with welcome over the years, I recently sent off a SAR as over the years I was not convinced that the settlement figures and everything were correct. Since having all the paperwork back I am still none of the wiser, it is all so confusing. Does anyone know of a company I could send off my paperwork to for it to be checked out?

 

Also, I noticed on the statements that they have charged me interest on the telephone calls and letters they have sent out, can they do this? they also charged me interest on inurances i purchased with them.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Hi

All the insurances will be reclaimable, if you feel they were not adequately explained or were inappropriate or where taken out under pressure in order to get the loan.

You really need to post the agreements on here for us to have a look at.

They can charge interest on the insurances if they are included in the total credit figure.

If they are not, any interest charged must make up the total charge for credit along with contractual interest, it is quite a complex procedure.

No they should not be charging you interest on collection costs again need more details.

Thank you Peter,I will upload all the agreements later, I will be grateful for any help anyone can give. The APR on the statements also dont match up with the actual credit agreements, it is all so confusing I really need some advice. Thanks again.

HI

 

Yes an incorrectly stated APR can be an indication of the TCC being incorrect.

 

Best have a look

Hi

 

I have attached the three different agreements I am unsure about, if I give you a bit of background it may make more sense.

 

In July 2005 I took out a loan for £3450.00 (£3000 loan, £375 insurances, £75.00 acceptance fee), original loan term was over 36 months, I settled after 22 months after taking out a second loan with Welcome. In the time I had the loan I made actual payments of ££3112.74. The payments were £146.46 per month and the total repayable was £5272.49. The APR on the credit agreement is 38.7% variable but on the statement it is 30%. I am confused as I made payments of £3112.74 plus they took £2292.67 out of the second loan to settle this one which in total is £5405.41 but the total repayable on the credit agreement was only £5272.49 and I settled the loan 14 months early so surely I wouldn't have had to pay all that interest? I also had charges of £135.00 for telephone calls, letters etc.

 

In May 2007 I took out a second loan for £5075.00 over 36 months (£5000 loan, £75.00 acceptance fee) (£2292.67 Paid off previous loan), the total repayable was £8442.35 and the APR on the contract was 44.20% variable but on the statement it states 36%. I made payments of ££2434.50 and was struggling to pay the £232.45 per month. After 17 months into the loan in October 2008 Welcome suggested I take out another loan just to pay off this loan (i.e. I didn't have any money it was just to pay loan off) over 48 months, as it would be cheaper for me so I had no other option and agreed. I also had charges of £170.00 for telephone calls, letters etc.

 

 

In October 2008 welcome gave me another loan just to pay off the previous loan they said the settlement on the previous loan was £5488.44 over 48 months (£5413.44 loan, £75.00 acceptance fee) APR on credit agreement is 13.51% variable but on statements it is 12%. I have paid £144.56 per month since taking it out and never missed a payment so up to date I have paid £4624.99.

 

I don’t know whether the settlement figure is right for the second loan as again the agreement was ended 19 months early so surely I would not have had to pay so much interest?

 

I have not got a clue about credit agreements and interest rates and need to know if everything looks ok, I am only questioning it as I thought the first loan agreement didn’t look right as I have paid them more to settle it than what was on the actual credit agreement, if they are all ok that is fine I will continue to carry on paying my last loan until it is paid off, but would like a second opinion on it all if anyone has the time, I will be extremely grateful.

 

Many thanks

 

Hayley

Hi

 

First thing i would do is send a claimm for you PPI, i cant see your agrements (to small), but we can look at them later.

If you look on Rebel signature earlier in the thread you will see a tutorial on interest and also instructions on claiming PPI.

I will check the various settlement figures and get back to you

 

Perhaps Stephen or one of the other PPI experts will drop in.

Hi

Going off the figures you have provided,

Your first loan should have been for £3375 (the fee should not be included in the Credit.)

22 Payments OF £146.46 = £3222.12?

APR36.8%?

Settlement due after 22 weeks should have been £ 1783. 34

The total mount payable if the loan had run its course is correct at £5272

This is without any adjustments forn miss sold PPI etc .

Have seen many of the earlier Welcome agreements and a great percentage of them are improperly executed, on many occasions they encourage people to re sign new agreement (post 2007) because they realise this. I don’t know yet if this is the case on your agreements but it seems a possibility.

Any way going off this it seems the settlement figured is incorrect unless there were other charges added to the figure.

Best double check when we see the agreement then send a recorded letter querying their calculation

Hi Peter

 

Sorry for the late reply, I have been on holidays for two weeks. How do I upload to credit agreements so you will be able to see them? also, I dont think I can get the ppi back as it wasn't ppi as such it was homecare, medicare and another insurance and I think I may have made a claim through the homecare insurance. Thanks for your time.

If you can scan them and save them as pdf, this will be the best way. You can claim insurance back if it was mis-sold even if you made a claim. It may be a bit trickier but not impossible. YOu can claim back unfair charges they placed on your account as well. Aside from the agreements you need to have full statements and record of all payments made.

Please overlook my typos and spelling mistakes, sometimes my fingers arent in sync with my brain :)

Thanks Mrz I will try and put them on again, not very good with computers.

 

I do have full statements, I have put all the info off them in previous thread (payments made, charges applied etc) I noticed that they have charged me interest on all the charges aswell not sure if they can do this:???:. My main aim is to just find out whether the settlement figures were correct from the first and second loan really, once I know whether they are correct or not I will focus more on the ppi and charges.

 

Thanks for the info, I will once again try to upload the agreements :-)

Most scanning software will allow you to scan as pdf. Check the software help section for your particular software. If thats not available, you can download a free pdf printer driver. This way you can select print and nstead of printing it to paper, it will make a pdf file. Just google free pdf printer driver.

 

As part of your claim you will be claiming the interest they have charged you as well.
