    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

Hello

 

Thanks for the replies, nice to know there are other voices out there! The claim is by Welcome Finance, submitted by Hegarty LLP. IND have sent threat letters.

 

The date of the summons is 7th August, so 5 days is 12th August, 28 days from there is this Sunday 9th September. I have done AoS with intention to defend all of it.

 

My defence is as follows thus far:

 

 

  • The PPI of £496.65 was a fait accompli - He was given no option by the broker, it was mandatory if he wanted the loan.
  • The offer of settlement was rejected entirely.
  • The SAR request was not responded to properly the first time, I had to write again to get a proper copy of the agreement and then again to chase missing items which was duly ignored.
  • No default notice was ever received and the one in the SAR is pretty standard.
  • The APR (variable) was 65.57%, then there is a second box that says 'rate of interest per annum' and that is 60.10%. But the statement we subsequently received after the SAR gave a current address says 48%. I'm not up with calculating APRs and interest but so far as I can see its all a little 'made up on the spot' and I'd like to investigate further.
  • There are £90 worth of charges for telephone calls (£10 a time)
  • There is £40 for unpaid DD's (£20 a time)
  • We have offered a very 'generous' settlement of the £3854 (all in one go if needs be) they are claiming before court interest and costs, that has been point blank turned down.

The negatives are that the credit agreement appears sound (except the iffy APR), I have a raft of paperwork from the SAR.

Should I scan and upload the credit agreement, the default notice and the statement for everyone to see?

Thanks

Yes sorry, the original thread was about two balances, the HFO one has since died and the Welcome Finance claim has progressed to this stage.

 

What I need to do is put together a defence for MCOL and sharpish as I only have until Sunday to do it. Can anyone help point me in the right direction based on my defence points above?

 

Much appreciated.

Can i just ask - have you made A formal CCA request for this agreement, and if so what did they send? (Upload docs if you can)

Can you also upload the Default Notice.

 

Experience of Welcome tells me two things - the DN will not be compliant and probably neither will the CCA request. Both are statutory bars to enforcement and will form the basis of your defence if i am right.

hiya all and thanks for weighing in!

 

yes the cca in post 7 was send after my SAR. Although I had to follow up with a letter demanding a full one without an obscured area. I will post the DN this afternoon.

 

He was never given a choice over the ppi! he couldn't have the loan unless he took the insurance.

 

thanks for the point to carey vs hsbc. I will read up on that today!

 

can anyone point me to any defence construction posts?

Hi Everyone

 

On 08/09/11 I sent them a CCA request

On 10/09/11 I sent them a SAR - mainly because I wasnt sure the CCA would help much as we were blind as to the nature of the debt.

 

They replied to the CCA with an agreement with a band through the middle of it saying "CPC View Evaluation", suggesting they hadn't bought the software they were using! It came with a copy of T&C's.

 

The SAR then arrived with the following:

 

  1. Default Notice and accompanying letter (never received in the first place!)
  2. Copies of ID taken at the time of the loan
  3. DD Mandate and other bits of gumff
  4. Credit Agreement and T&Cs (this time without that band through the middle)
  5. Five pages of contact notes on his account

I then wrote back to them on 6th October stating that they had omitted from the SAR:

 

  • Notice of assignment if any (they maintain the debt I think but have instructed IND to do all the talking)
  • Any and all PPI docs - all of which were noticeably absent
  • Collection charges breakdown etc etc
  • Fees levied by others
  • DPA fair use notice
  • List of 3rd party agencies data disclosed to
  • All statements throughout the period
  • Termination notice

We then received a loan statement shortly after, from Mack Hall

 

Then we received a letter from Welcome stating they gave me all they have, refused to give me commission and broker details and thats that!

 

Then another loan statement in April of this year and several chasing letter from Mack Hall etc.

 

I believe the NoA was February of this year, threatening court action via their litigation agents IND. Should it have a particular layout?

 

Then a letter from Welcome introducing the FSCS and asking if I wanted to pursue a PPI claim via them (because of Welcomes financial problems)

 

I sent another letter in the June stating they had failed to comply with a legal request (SAR) and they never bothered to reply.

 

Finally - the N1 court claim arrived.

 

Incidentally, that 'tick' in the PPI box on the agreement, is a computer generated one (the one that looks like the division sign). He wasn't even told about the PPI, they never discussed options with him!

 

I'm going to have to speak with Welcome about an extension to submit my defence, its too much to do before the week is out.

Oh and yes all letters I have, including recorded delivery receipts for most - some might have slipped into my business accounts so I will have to look through.

From what you are saying it appears they have not fully complied with your CCA request.

 

To comply they need to send you a legible copy of the agreement

A legible copy of the terms and conditions ( can you upload the T&C's they sent you? - Welcome do not keep copies of the back of the agreements - I have a statement from their head of compliance saying as much - so we need to see if they are the correct ones)

They also need to send you a full statement of account showing all charges and payments made.

 

Here is a copy of what they need to send to comply.

 

Can you also upload the Default Notice - if it does not comply then they cannot enforce the debt.

I sent a CCA request dated 05.09.11, arrived 09.09.11 at 8:23am

 

In response, they sent back, arriving on the 19th the attached, which is basically a copy of the agreement and a copy of some T&Cs which have a wide obscure bar through the middle of them. See the attached.

 

I was going to write back but a few days later the SAR arrived, with the same documents but this time no such bar.

 

The SAR letter stated that a statement of account would arrive separately, which it did at the end of the month, but note that this was not in response to my CCA.

 

As I said before I then wrote back and said 'hang on, stuffs missing from the SAR request' to which they replied they had given me everything they have.CCA response 2a.pdf

If they send you everything they have then they have complied with your SAR - the problem is that Welcome used to lose a lot of paperwork, (convenient ?) They have been fined £150,000 for their lapse practices.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18723038

 

The Default Notice is not compliant - it gives you 14 days - but it must give you an actuall date to remedy by. That means that the Court cannot enforce the debt until they send you a compliant DN. That is a total defence in Court (see Brandon v Amex).

 

Also, as it stands, that CCA response is not compliant - how can you read the terms and conditions with that big notice obscuring the middle of it. if they did not send you a statement as part of their CCA response then it fails for that reason also.

 

I can't see a right to cancel either the agreement or the PPI.
