    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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.

Prelim sent today 5/10/06

 

Has anyone change the timeline from 14 days. As we now have a presedent set by them that they never reqpond at these stages and EVERY claim has the same process followed.

 

Is 10 days still resonable time for each stage for a well oiled organisation with a dedicated staff for this activity. Or even 7 days.

 

What they always do:-

Respond quickly to S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)

Ignore prelim (send template reply sometimes)

Ignore LBA (send template reply sometimes)

Only respond when papers are served.

 

For this one I am swithering whether to go for the contractual interest. Adds about £1500 to the claim but as the total claim is >£5000 the risk is greater.

 

Prelim is just a standard one without any referent to interest so if they pay up at this stage they will save some cash, but before I issue the LBA I will be doing more reading on the contractual interest and I can then change it at LBA.

 

Hopefully Nationwide don't read these threads or they could settle quick and save a few quid.....

 

off to read more about contractual interest.

 

first thing I have checked is the current authorised overdraft rate and its 7.75% so the standard claim looks better. Unauthorised is at 24.9% but I think that is too risky.

 

but I could go for the 7.75% compound plus the compound loss of not gaining the esaving rate of 4.8% so 12.8 is looking good.

hi, thanks and good luck to you too.

 

The court I have picked is just over the A1 border so its the closest I could find and if I have to attend its only about 100 miles.

 

I would intend using the argument that it is a guesture of goodwill to pick a court in England as it is nearer the defendant.

I'm near Glasgow too, did a maps.google.co.uk and its 156 miles from East Kilbride - I don't live hear just an example, I live over tin the east) to the Morpeth but from EKB to Carlisle it is only 91 so that may be a better choice.

 

Have fun.

Prelim sent - no reply

lba sent no reply

got the "we think our fees are transparent and are our T&Cs" sod off letter the day after I had posted my N! to the court. Should be issued on Monday. this claim is fo >£7k so not sure if they will treat it differently.Not that it bothers me as I have prepared all my documentation and I have already had a claim satisfied by them without any hassle.

 

They do want to close my account now but I expect they will payout before the closure date. Don't want to have to get a cheque and then wait for it too clear.

 

tick tock, tick tock.

 

The last time they paid up 4 days after being servered

Great stuff - I am pleased to see they are settling claims over 5K in the same way because I have got one nearing 10k which I can issue for on the 6th Nov.

 

Well done you!

Well, I got impatient and phone my pals as NW, htey confirmed the cash credit was from them and the remainder of my claim in full will be credited later today and for my closed account the cheque will be posted today.

 

I don't think they have paid me the 4.85% for my loss of potential savings but I am happy to leave the claim open to get the court to decide.

 

woooohoooo what a Christmas we will have, matching Mercedes I think. Todays was a £10 k payout.......I am off to the pub.

 

Donation on it way as soon as it hits my account.

If I can just play the other side for a second... What the hell kind of trouble were you in to have over £10,000 worth of charges to your account ? Did you just not get paid for 6 years ?

 

Well done on the claims, I'm going for over £2000 soon. But, £10k ? Damn!

Flibble, I am the first to admit we were "careless" with our money, we had good jobs, spent everything we had and no kids.

 

Now have a kid, Mrs is part time and I wanted it back.

 

It is not actually £10k (this was just my second claim) the first was for £6k. But it wasn't all charges, there was around £3500 in interest so it was only really £12k over 6 years, £2k a year so £40 a week.

 

I look at this as my 8% savings plan.....

 

Best of it was we opened the acount towards the end of 99 and ran it ok for the first 6 months so the full 6 years we were bad was covered by the legislation window. Lucky or what

Wow Debt Mountain - you have done well!

 

I've only just started the process and not decided whether to contest in Scotland or England (I'm Scottish based).

 

Obviously worked for you! Congrats again

2 things you need to consider.

 

1- Scotland is a 5 year limitation England is 6. Do you have many charges in the additional year?

 

2 - Scotland is a limit of £750 per claim so can you be bothered going through the process for each £750 you need to claim.

 

Good luck and make sure you enjoy yourself.

I have just been on the phone with my best pals at Nationwide. When I called them I was asked to call the number of there new team "refund policy team) on 01793576760 which takes you through to the ISA customer service number. The person I spoke with said that they had to use additional resourse for the charges claim activity.

 

Awww........

Well done Debt, Power to the people. I am following suit and issuing my claim against nationwide from Newbury CC. Posting N1 letter today.I'm also resident in Scotland. Did you encounter many major problems and was it Newbury CC you filed your N1 form with?

I left a reply in another thread about this, but I used Morpeth CC as it is Scotland side of Newcastle so only about 100 miles away. If you are in the west then go for Carlisle.

 

I had no issue whatsoever, the staff in the court were really helpful and more than happy to answer my daily questions.

 

You can freely call them anytime to ask for a progress update as all mail is sent our by second class post so is a couple of days after the event.

 

Godd luck and let me know if you need any help.
