    • Hi Schipoo and thank you for the update.   Excellent news for you and a huge relief, I imagine. You might like to start a new thread about Independent Tax if you want advice on that problem. HB
    • Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

    • As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • 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.

Then that has been mis-sold to you, they have to give you the option to take out the PPI not make it a condition of the loan.

just looked over my contract

 

loan for car was 5578

acceptance fee was 85

finance charge 2775

pp1 insurance 2406

total paypable over 10 thousand pounds

also they charge you evey letter they write £25.00 late fees are 15.00 and to be hones with you i have looked over some of my statments (i question this all about 2 years ago but was fobbed off)

sometimes on one day alone i was charged 120 in interest

on november 5th 2002 £5 fee

nov 6th 5 fee

nov 7th 5 fee

nov 8th 5.oo fee

nov 9th 5 fee

 

and it goes on like this

also when we could not afford to pay they bombarded us and made us rewrite the loan which i think meant we borrowed more at a slightly lower interest rate to pay back the 10 thousand odd we could not afford to pay

to be honest i have not got a clue what they did

to date i think we owe more than 7 thousand still ,take into consideration that we took out 18/04/02 it ran for 42 months and we were paying 258 a month untill last year when we wrote on the advice from ccs to offer them a token payment of 20 a month

PLEASE PLEASE ANY BODY WANTING A CAR DO NOT EVER TRUST WELCOME!

Hello everyone!...

I am stuck and i need some help..I am trying to culculate the amount i should claim from Welcome FInance for the loan i took...Can anybody give me an advise?

 

Loan amount £3000, intrest 44.5%, 36 payments of £193.30

I am claiming PPI, healthcare and intrest back which are £1146.36 plus 3% of intrest...

I am using one of the CAGs spreadsheet to culculate the amount i have to claim...Is it correct?

 

I know that i should claim £1146.36+ 3% intrest on it...

 

 

But when i add up 36 months of payments of £193.35 is £6960.60...

But when i use the contract to get the total figure i get:

loan 3000

Intrest 44.5%=1335

Acceptancy fee 75

PPI+ Healthcare+ 3% intrest( 996.36+150)=1146.33

alltogether=5556.33

Its almost a £1000 difference.

Now can i calim it back with PPI+Healthcare+ intrest????

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

got a reply from them today here is what they said

 

"

Just to point out you signed on trade premises and there is no cooling of period, cooling off periods only stand when you sign off trade premises but under the circumstances that you feel you were wrongly sold the Payment protection insurance I will cancel the agreement for you, we also have no choice over the interest rate you received its all done on your credit score direct from the lender.

I SAR'D Welcome the other day on behalf of my mum. Sent the 10 quid fee and got a signed credit agreement, nothing else. Cheeky bar stewards. Goes to show they really do not have a clue. Will do them a nice little letter later telling them time is running out......

Hello all. I have had three agreements with welcome.

1) HP for a car from a company called Approved Car Credit. Paid in full 5 years ago.

2) Personal Loan for £1000, paid back in full £1650 over 12 months.

3) HP for a car £6200, got into financial difficulty with 8months left to pay. They 'restructured' the loan

and I am now paying the remaining balance over 50 months @£197 a month. All in all I will have ended up paying around £20000 for a £6500 car !!! This includes the numerous 'penalty charges ' that they applied.

I did discover though that the 'new' restructured HP agreement was turned into a personal loan though so that allowed me to change the car :)

I pay by cash each month and I get constant phone calls asking which day I am paying my payment on ......

Any how, what exactly can I claim back from them? Has anyone claimed from them yet and won?

Hi itsmeandonlyme

 

Everyone is with you on this. Check out my post http://www.consumeractiongroup.c o....e-finance.html I am doing the same, they used the Rule 78 when calculating my settlement figure, it looks to be some kind of complicated math’s formula that is not

in favor of the borrower if you settle early .

I tried working it out at the time and it depends on when the loan was settled month etc.

Thank you Mark, going to look through it now...

 

I just wanted to understand how everybody worked out the formula for the amount they are claiming....

 

Couldn't find it anywhere...all the PM's, posted it on my thread....no reply....seems like everybody knows the answers for SAR and LB, but not for the most important-amount to claim ( working out PPI and rule 78 ....:)))))

 

I just wanted to point that nicely:)))))

I also had a loan with Welcome Finance which I topped up 4 times (shame on me) I never missed a payment and paid it all off a year and a half ago (no early payment discount)

I remember being advised to take out Health Insurance and PPI, when I said I didn't want any insurance, they took off the health one but not the PPI as they said you *have* to it to get the loan.

I have all my loan agreeement numbers, and I am not disputing charges (as there are none) but I would like to ask for the mis-sold PPI's.

can anyone supply a link to a draft letter I can send??

I would really appreciate it, and will start my own post as soon as I get more info

Hi Kerry,

not sure if we have such a letter but if you read through this thread you may find something along those lines that someone has already sent to (un)Welcome. Failing that I'm sure someone on here will assist you, theres plenty of us on here ;-) Good luck

Can someone enlighten me on a welcome issue.

 

They transferred the debt to Hillesdon (SOLD IT AS I HAVE DOCUMENTS) Hillesdon have closed the account and removed there default,

 

Two defaults were registered for the same account. (Illegal i know)

 

Does welcome now have to close it as Hillesdon have now closed the aco****, They were unable to obtain information from the original lender?

 

Welcome failed to comply with CCA request no statement of accounts, Credit agreement was not original as this had a typing error on it!

 

They typed a new one bless um! Lots of different dates now.

 

HELP PLEASE

When informed that the call is recorded for training and monitoring I always say I don't want it used for training. :razz:

 

I always ask for the ICO registration information - they often dont have it, shame i never discuss my personal data unless I know they comply with the DPA.

 

Finally I always record calls and state at the start of there call. Although I don't have too.
