    • Thank-you @BankFodder, your statement is a correct understanding of my position and I agree, it is actually really what I was looking for in starting this thread, as I too believed that the maximum I could claim for is that which I sold it for, even though this was substantially below market value at the time. And so, this sold value is what I shall be claiming for + the other expenses. @dx100uk I get your point, but this is just not what I want to expose myself to. Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones to have my details stolen in the Peoples Energy hack, and in 2020 I discovered that those details had been used to take out car insurance, and that the insured was then involved in a collision and my details were dragged through the mud. Despite Aviva cancelling the claim and treating as though it never were, even though I have the letters from them to say that they have removed this claim from the insurance database, I still get refused insurance and credit products to this day until I send across the letter from Aviva which explains that I was a victim of fraud. So you'll forgive me for not jumping up and uploading my data to a server utility for which I have no control over its retention policy, or where the server is located globally, its legal jurisdiction, or its security protocols.

    • 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 BigFish, I'm curently in the exact same place as you, regarding information on loans and PPI that are over 6 years old! I found that there is an email address for the CEO of HSBC/HFC that is actually monitored, its: managingdirectoruk@hsbc.com

No rely from CEO as yet!!

 

Heres an amusing/or not quote from HFC Website

 

"HFC Bank also places great emphasis on environmental care and this is reflected in the number of environmental awards the Bank has won. The Bank makes every effort to recycle its paper, as well as use recycled paper wherever possible."

 

To think when they eventually respond to complaints the letters could possibly be made from reconstituted agreements with lots of pre ticks!!

Reply from letter to CEO yesterday!

 

Can you believe HFC have turned up three agreements!!!

 

  1. Personal Loan Plus Feb 99 - no PPI, not visible on shoddy copy anyway!
  2. Personal Loan Plus Oct 02 - PPI pre crossed in credit protection & accidental sickness and unemployment insurance
  3. Personal Loan Plus Oct 03 - no PPI

They have asked that I phone them for settlement on account 2. I have bank statements of payments that at one point reached £76 a month, credit limit was £2500 according to credit report but may have been more (states £2000 on agreement but states it may vary). It also included paying off another agreement at the time of inception £307.53. Will post HFC reply when I get time also all figures relating to account 2 for advice.

 

Dealing with HFC is akin to going fishing

 

A lot of patience is required in order to catch a big fish

 

Lets see if I can land it and possibly catch some more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my reply from the letter marked strictly private & confidential FAO CEO HFC Bank.

 

Can anyone identify any of my questions/concerns that have been answered or clarified... I'm struggling!!

 

The accounts are over six years... no data... destroyed... P.S. we slipped in three agreements that our staff have tediously reconstructed since the onset of your complaint!

The Personal Loan Plus product was/is a revolving credit account where the PPI was based as a percentage of the outstanding balance from month to month.

 

From the list of payments you made to the account you will not be able to work out what the PPI charges were.

 

You are under no obligation to deal with this chap on the phone and they should make you an offer in writing. In which case I would be writing to him again and tell him so.

 

You will have to take a view on any figure that results from this complaint since HFC seem to be digging in.

 

I would, however, be putting a case together for fos anyway for the way you have been treated.

Hi ims

 

Monthly payments were 1/30th of the outstanding balance each month according to info from CAG member Scoobydoo (see below). Direct debits would have been minimum payments I would have thought. Is it then posible to roughly figure PPI?

 

CAP - Current Account Plus - a current account with overdraft facility. It had a cheque book and £50 guarantee card, plus a separate ATM card. The overdraft required you to pay at least 1/30th of the balance. Also, Stockport branch number was 074 (I think), so the account number would start with either 74 or 074. This rule only applied to current accounts.

 

PL - a fixed term, fixed rate personal loan from the branch. Same payment each month, every month until the end of the term.

 

PLP - a "Personal Loan Plus". This was a revolving credit agreement with a credit limit, much like a credit card but without the plastic. Instead you had a cheque book, but no guarantee card. The payments on this were also 1/30th of the balance, so varied each month. The "Budget Revolving Account" on your credit file could be a CAP or PLP.

 

HOL - Homeowner Loan - similar to a PL, but secured on property and with a variable interest rate (and much longer terms available).

 

HAP - Homeowner Account Plus - similar to a PLP and again secured on property. This had much greater credit limits, but I forget the repayment terms (not many were sold compared to other products).

 

The above were all branch sold accounts. HFC also provided consumer finance through the like to Dixons and PC World. These "retail" accounts are likely to be the Credit Sale Fixed Term account listed in your post. Different retailers offered different terms. Some were pure interest free (0% APR), others were Interest Free Option and Deferred Interest Free Option accounts, meaning if you settled during the option period (usually 6, 9 or 12 months) you paid no interest. If you didn't settle, interest would be charged back to day one and for the rest of the term. The difference between IFO and DIFO is that the former required you to make payments during the option period, the latter didn't.

Only you will know whether you paid just the minimum each month.

 

If you are sure you only paid the absolute minimum each you might be able to take a stab at the premiums but that's all it will be. You won't be able to calculate the interest charged or the 8%.
