    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR

    • 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 Can any one help with information. We took out a secured loan with welcome finance ( bad idea ) we had our house repossessed last year as work got very bad. The house is up for sale but when it is sold there will not be enough to pay welcome off. I have been told this loan will become a personal loan. What I want to know is can I stop paying welcome untill the house is sold. We are paying a reduced amount to them at the moment but finding it very hard. They keep hasstling us for more money.

 

Any information will help.

I will try and find some help for you..

 

Do you know who the personal loan (for the shortfall) will be with, because it is my understanding that Welcome have gone into administration.

 

Couple of questions..

 

Was there any PPI (Payment protection insurance) on the original Welcome loan or any charges for missing payments etc ?

Do you have a copy of the agreement? Do you know if you were charge a Mortgage Indemnity Fee (MIF)?

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

The MIF is a charge that Welcome add to most of their secured loans, depending on when you took the loan. They say the fee is paid by you and in exchange for paying the fee they wont pursue you for any shortfalls in the event they have to possess.

 

Who started possession proceedings? Was it Welcome or your first charge mortgage lender?

 

You can get a copy of the agreement by writing to Welcome and asking for it. There is a template letter in the library that you can use. You need to send a postal order in the amount of one pound. The link for the template is here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?414-CCA-request-letter

Getting a copy of your agreement and full statements is essential.

 

Secondly, you are under no obligation to speak to them on the phone. In fact you shouldnt speak to them on the phone. If anything is said you have no record or evidence of it. And they use the phone to intimidate and harass you. What they say on the phone they would never put in writing. I suggest sending the template letter found here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?493-Harassment-by-telephone-response-letter

 

Ammend the letters as needed for your situation. Send them recorded delivery. In the meantime, if they ring you, refuse to answer their security questions. Tell them to put their concerns in writing. Make notes of the date, time, and person you speak to.

 

Once you have these things done you will have a bit of space to breathe. We can then look at the problem of shortfall payments etc.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Should not are the key words here. I agree it should not be charged, but that hasnt stopped Welcome for charging it. The reason I ask if the OP had been charged is because Welcome are chasing for shorfall payments. If the MIF is supposed to protect the borrower against the shortfall, then Welcome will have to explain why they are chasing. This assumes of course the MIF was charged. At the moment we dont know if it was or wasnt.

Your account will have been moved to a different branch for collection. They probably haven't gotten around to notifying you yet. My account was moved 3 times in 2 months. Only one of them actually notified me, the other moves I found out about on my own investigation.

The statement arrived today.

 

The original loan was for £21,631.15

We have paid £8,575.06

 

We still owe £22538.09

 

MORE THAN WE BORROWED !!!!!

 

I would like to know if any one knows if we can stop paying this UNTIL the house is sold then get it transfered as a personal loan.

 

The property has been reposessed by the mortgage company. There will be a shortfall when the house is sold, so will it become a personal loan

Please help !!!

Hello Grumbleweeds. As you can see from the detail of the other letter (Subject Access Request) it is asking for a lot more than just a "statement". It is meant to push and probe into the very depths of all the information and data Welcome have relating to their relationship with you, and to hopefully get them to reveal their wrongdoings (to your obvious advantage).
