    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 am due to repay my Wonga loan tomorrow. I cannot afford to pay this. I cannot even afford the loan extension payment. I have nothing. What should I do? Should i contact them in the morning or do nothing? Are they likely to bombard me with phone calls? I do not want that if I can avoid it as id rather my family never knew about this. Any advice would be appreciated?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I would email them and explain you can't afford to pay the loan back but instead offer them X amount per month until its paid off.

 

I did this and they froze all interest and I had it paid off in 4 months.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about it, have a look through these forums and you'll see more and more people are in this situation and it gets sorted easily :-)

Hi Lizzy,

 

Thanks for taking time to respond. Do you have an e-mail template you reckon i should use or should I just try put something together?

 

Stewart

 

I havnt sorry, all I wrote was basically I didn't have the money I though I would have, and that I was 100% willing to pay what I owe etc

 

I owed just over £1000 and I offered to pay it over 6 months and they were fine with this and set up a payment arrangement for me. They also froze all interest, provided I stuck to the payments.

 

If you search for wonga, or payday loans on here, you'll find loads of useful info regarding setting plans up and templates you could use.

 

I had gotten to the point where I borrowed money, got paid, paid wonga back, and then had to borrow again to get through the month, after a few months I couldn't even pay it back when I got paid!

 

I wish I'd known how easy it is to sort !

Thanks again. I have tried this for starters. I'll let you know the response

 

To Whom It May Concern

 

I am due to make a loan repayment on my Wonga Loan tomorrow, Sunday 21st October. The original loan was taken out on Wednesday 29th August for £568. I made a repayment of £124.29 on the 20th of September which extended my loan repayment date until 21st October. Unfortunately I am now in a position where I am unable to make a payment on the 21st October. I cannot even make a payment to extend my loan for another month, I simply do not have the cash due to me having various debts that I am struggling to pay off. I currently cannot afford to pay the £760.43 i now owe Wonga. I do not dispute this debt and would like to pay this debt off on full but would appreciate if Wonga would be able to assist me in this by freezing interest and charges on the account. I would like to offer £50 per month towards this debt until it is paid off, i cannot afford anything else at the moment. If my financial position changes I would be happy to pay more with a view to getting this debt paid off quicker. Can I please be contacted by e-mail on this issue

 

Any help with this on Wonga's part would be appreciated

 

Kind Regards

The Snake.

Just a bit of info for you.

 

I had the same predicament as yourself some months ago.

 

I found that Wonga were a bit slow in answering the email that I had sent them.

 

I phoned them up.

 

They told me to phone back before 5pm on the day that the payment was due.

Then they would discuss the matter with me regarding a repayment plan.

I know people will advise you not to phone,

but it is far quicker to sort things out.

 

After you have arranged a repayment plan,

they will send you an email containing a list of the dates that the payments are due.

But YOU MUST get this email,

as it is proof that you have arranged a repayment plan.

 

Wonga did tell me that they cannot set up a repayment plan until the date which the money is due,

 

something about breach of contract.

 

You also have to phone before 5pm,

otherwise extra charges might be applied.

 

They seemed very understanding.

I wish you luck.

 

Keep us informed of the outcome.

 

Regards,John.

Ive never had a problem with Wonga. My original debt was 301, i moved my money out the account as i couldnt afford to pay it so i defualted on it. I left the account with money with a balance of zero as i know they make several attempts if they cant take it the first time,... all month it was empty. when i transferred some money over for council tax at just before midnoght on a sunday....council tax direct come bk returned because wonga took it first.f**kers! So i sent letter with 50 quid postal order to wonga which they took 2 weeks to credit and then i emailed saying i cant pay the rest in lump sum so they put me on repayment of 48 a month for 4 months. I must say, By far the easiest payday lender ive ever dealt with.
