    • They wont take you to court. I'm not sure what they'll do about the letters and if they will or wont send you the letters from their retail prevention company, but you can ignore those letters. You'll be just fine don't worry.
    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are true.  I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.

    • 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,

quick update, 29 days since taking in my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to the local branch who stated they would send it on to head office, they still haven't cashed the cheque for £10 yet either. Another 11 days for them to comply. Do you think I should give them a quick call and advise them the clock is still ticking? ;-) Any suitable replies will be considered :cool:

 

Cheques are always dodgy, if its not cashed then its not paid for, i know proof can be made that they have it but its a stalling tool for them.

I always use postal orders, its made out to them already, not cashing is a pointless option. Their desperate mitts see it and want to apply it to your account asap so its straight up the post office.

 

I would send a reminder advise of cheque number, or send a copy of the photo copy made before sending.

 

This should get a reply and the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) they will take as long as possible as they get to hold your money longer.

 

Also Banks were not equipped for this and they were quiet organized.

for Welcome this isn't just a wake up call, it would be blowing their ways of trading to shreds as there paper trails are like Hansel and Gretal some where down the line it just stops happening.

This might be of interest I have serveral telephone numbers for Welcome,If you need copies of your agreements ring Tim on 0115 9778803.The FSA are at present looking into the mis-selling of PPI. I note Soli2006 problems, Just to let you know how I believe welcome used to work. All is well when you Take out a loan if you dont mis paying yes charges and rates are high but they accept people who would have normally got rejected. Any way Then if you stop paying for what ever reason does not matter if you have been the best customer in the world the branch goes mad telephone calls, knocking on your door etc but after about 3 months if you still have paid nothing, they would send in the big guns but these big guns would offer you a better deal less money per week or month as long as they got some thing, or lets rewrite the agreements why not you are now paying interest on interest and your chances of getting out is none.What I would do is dont be pushed around by these people yes push them hard for charges and costs back I dont think they will go to court the judges would see them for what they are. If you are in a position to pay them off offer them approx 25% of what they are claiming, My son in law had a car off them and returned it under his rights in the agreement, they refused to take the car back so I told him to put it in writing to them terminating the agreement and ring and askk them where they wanted the car took to. They said post us the keys and leave the car out side yours. This he did. The car stood there for weeks, they tried to get him to pay for a RAC inspection the y then said he had to be there when they took the car a way, He said No to all this. They then kept ringing him saying about shortfalls etc but he refused to be taken in and now they have gone away. I would say read your agreements tackle them about the extras, The only time you have real problems is if the loan is secured on your house, but I could well be going to disclose some of their tricks concerning this shortly Good luck to you all

The Mortgage Man

 

 

The next big guns usually come 12 months after non payment, this is how long Welcome will hold your account as they won't go to court.

They would rather write the debit off.

After 12 months you are with a collections team.

You can end your loan there for 50% of the balance outstanding, possible from the balance outstanding from last default.

At this point they will bully harras and tell you your in legal trouble, ( after 12 months i think you would of already been told this a few times:rolleyes: )

 

Basicaly its all a front as the main thing is they recover the cash they lent you.

I did put my name on a sticker on the back of both letters (to Welcome & DLC) and my worry is they've spotted that, realised what the letter is, and refused to receive it from Royal Mail. Nothing would surprise me frankly with these clowns. I guess they will come back to me if that's happened. In the meantime, the account isn't officially in dispute & the threatening letters from the DCA continue - the latest being 'an agent will call at your home'. How do i get the letters to Welcome & the DCA if this is whats happened? AllI can do is sit & wait for the letters to be retunrd to me as undelivered. But what alternative methods of delivery do I have to guarantee they receive the letters?

Hi Welcome Fighters -

 

Hope you are all doing well. Send the DCA the template letter saying you ar officially disputing the debt, no further diligence can be excersised (spelling!) by them until the dispute is resolved etc. I will get a copy on here this afternoon although you've probably already used it! If they carry on after getting this report them. Send letters to the compliance dept at Welcome - they will receive them.

 

News - spoke extensively with Norwich Union on my PPI that they apparently underwrite? They have absolutely NO record of me, my address, Welcome, Progressive or anything like it! I spoke with Direct Group who administer the claims and the ONLY details they have and deal with are your name, address etc and the loan amount. EVERYTHING else is dealt with in the branch! Interesting! So are they charging for insurance, paying Direct Group a sum for admin work and pocketing the rest> IS there actually no insurance cover???

 

Think about it - you claim, Direct Group phone the branch whocan then just write off your payments for the 12 months and thats it? It's all internal anyway, who's to know? The FSA are going to call me back and Norwich have been e-mailed also. By the way, did anyone fill in a schedule of cover? What does this look like? As apparently without it you are not covered no matter how mauch you paid. Worry worry.

 

Nice one Grape, they must be bricking themselves just now hahahahaha! Leme know how you get on!

 

GET IT RIGHT UP THEM! :lol:

I had a couple of loans with them and paid them off about three years ago. Rang up my local branch yesterday to ask for the old loan account numbers (which I got) and the woman on the phone was asking questions like: why do you want this information? I don't understand why you would want this old information as its been settled blah blah...told her it was for my personal info...nosey b*tch!

 

Sending off my SAR & CCA today....I reckon there were loads of charges on my account and WILL get them back!

Glad to hear people are chipping away & maybe getting results with these people. As I said before, when i tried to make a claim, they had heard of me, but said i want covered for the full term of the laon - only part. Welcome denied this, but wrote off the debt 'as an act of goodwill' when i started asking embarrassing questions.

 

As for my latest situation, the recorded delivery letters to both Welcome (and yes, it was the complainace unit i wrote to) & DLC (the DCA) still haven't been delivered. Two letters, posted the same day going 'missing'? Seems too much of a coincidence to me - especially as a recorded letter posted the same day, from the same post office, arrived at 8.30 the next morning.

I wouldn't want to be thought of as taking the bank's side, especially Welcome but I don't think you can assume it is them refusing delivery. Post gets delayed. Recorded mail sometimes get delivered without signature, especially in areas that use a lot of temporary staff. Lots of post just goes missing. As far as the courts are concerned, mail that has been correctly addressed is deemed to have been delivered by the second day. Non-receipt is never accepted as a reason for not answering a summons unless the address has an error on it, for instance.

Hi all,

I didnt bother sending my SAR by recorded delivery, I took it into the branch and handed it to the Branch manager and my cheque for £10 personally, I also took a witness with me at the time so they cannot deny receiving it, I also made sure the manager saw MY copy for my records of the SARN. Will chase them up with a phone call soon and the clocks still ticking :-D

I'm not saying that either HAS refused to accept delivery - only that I'm curious as to why BOTH letters haven't (apparently) been delivered. What are the odds of two letters being posted on the same day & neither being signed for, or of both going missing in the post? Does everyone else actually check that their recorded delivery letters have been signed for, or just presume they have? Anyway, time will tell I suppose. If they haven't been delivered, they will be returned to me at some point hopefully.

 

On another matter, the third letter i posted that day was a CCA to another DLC - they wrote back today saying that 'your account is now on hold for 28 days while we obtain the information you have requested'. Given the '12 day rule' to comply with a CCA, what course of action should i take, and how should i be responding to them saying it will be 28 days?

Hi Soli,

I wouldnt bother contacting them again just yet, they have 12 days by law to respond if not the debt becomes unenforcable until they produce the documents then they have a further month, after that they commit a criminal offence and you report them to TS etc

Update: received a letter this morning from welcome acknowledging my SAR (despite the fact that Royal mail say it hasn't been delivered yet!). Anyway, they received it on 8th, so I shall begin the 40 days from there i reckon. They say "if your request relates to any specific piece of information, please advise us as soon as possible as this may enable us to provide a faster response". Surely an SAR compels them to release ALL information relating to an account? Are they just trying it on, hoping to avoid full disclosure? Should I respond to this, or just wait to see what they send? Also, should they also be advsing the DCA that the account is now in dispute - and how should I respond if the DCA continue to try to contact me (no response to my CCA to the DCA yet by the way).

Hi Soli,

they seem to be testing the water and seeing if you know what your doing, they HAVE to, by law, send you ALL the documents you have requested by S.A.R - (Subject Access Request). IF they dont give full disclosure or no disclosure at all then they get reported to the relevant authorities..simple!! ;-) As for the DCA dont worry about them, if they contact you again simply inform them that the account is in dispute, I would suggest a follow up letter to htem indicating this and keeping a copy for your own records. Should they continue to harrass you, you then have the relevant evidence to report them also. :-D

So, ignore the letter from Welcome & just let the clock tick away & see what, if anything, they send. Thats what I thought. Cheers falcon.

 

Hi Soli2006, Just a quick note to say well done in getting this far. Your 40 day request is from the date you would of put on your original S.A.R. letter not when welcome received it. Please stick to your timing. Don't let welcome push you around.

 

I would recommend in getting together all your paperwork you have every had with them. Make out a short list which includes dates, title of item and any comments you may think are useful.

 

The reason for this is when they come back to you, check through the paperwork they send to what you actually have. Also in the mean time if you have your bank statements is to make out a list of any payments that you made. You can use the one available in the template thread.

Not sure where all this with welcome will end up, but i feel a lot happier now i'm doing something positive rather tha just passively accepting whatever they throw at me. I've never had a problem paying what i genuinely owe, but i refuse to be ripped off. If & when i receive the SAR info, i'll tell you all what they send and ask advice on how ro proceed.

Thanks for the support falcon - much appreciated. The '12 days' for the CCA i sent to DLC (the DCA) expires on 18th. What do i then do with regards to that request if they fail to respond? all the LBA templates refer to the SAR, either it not being responded to or recieving an incomplete response. None seem to refer to a CCA request non-compliance.

Hi Soli,

once the 12 days is up the debt then become unenforcable until such time as the DCA actually furnish you with the documents you requested. After a further month, they then commit a criminal offence, you can then report them to the relevant authorities. Hope this helps :-)

Hi Soli,

why would you need to remind them?? ;-) They should know the time limits they have to respond to a CCA, dont do their work for them, dont contact them until the month is over then you can take great delight in informing them they have committed a criminal offence and will be reported! :-D

OK, thats cool. What if they respond after 20 days - 8 days late (for example) - does the deby then become enforceable again, and can i take any action for them being late? what i don't get is if they have 12 days + a month, don't they effectively have up to 43 days?

They STILL have to furnish you with all the documents you requested, not part, ALL! If they respond by letter saying they are in the process of requesting the documents from their client thats tough. They have to respond WITH documents you requested WITHIN the specific time scales set out. you will probably find they havent got anything hence the silence ;-)

Oki doki - if/when i receive nothing i'll post again, no doubt asking for more advice. Sorry to be a pain. I'm going to start the ball rolling on my (now finished) car finance next as i'm sure i was ripped off over the PPI (see earlier post). Got the bit between my teeth now!

lol, good on yer Soli mate, I'm no expert but will help where ever and whenever I can. I hate to see people ripped off, having my own dealings with Welcome and starting this thread has helped me immensely and increased my knowledge too. The Welcome fighters are a fantastic bunch, it goes without saying so are all members of CAG :-D
