    • Sunak actually nailed it in his boring speech yesterday  Starmers only offering is vote to be depressed  Just about sums up lefties  Humourless and Depresive🤣
    • Ah ok I will see if we receive it in the post tomorrow before I go to work. We want to see theirs so we know what documents they will list ? If their N265 is not received then best to send ours so that we do not miss the claimants deadline as per their draft directions.  What would happen if we did miss the deadline even by 1 day ? The claimant would use it against us in court ?  I scanned and posted in #159 the claimants continuation sheet attached to the N244 where they give a background of the case and reference e-mails etc. After this I will continue to work on the WS which is also causing me anxiety. This will also be used to object to their SJ application. I will advise tomorrow if anything else is received.  
    • Last September our 2019 plate Motorhome went to Brownhills of Newark for its annual habitation check/service. Whilst on there site for the day one of their drivers managed to drive it into a lamp post and put a 2m long scratch down the side of the body. They didn't own up to the damage, but luckily we noticed it before leaving the site, at which point the admitted fault and said they would fix it in house rather than go through the insurance. As they are an authorised Motor home repairer etc we agreed to this and a time frame of 3 weeks was given for the repair, which was booked in for late November. It could not be booked in sooner for the repair as we had a weekends away etc booked with the vehicle until mid November.  3 weeks, and a simple re-spray has now evolved to 18 weeks of them having the vehicle, due to the spray job having to be done 3 times, a window seal not been re-fitted correctly, leading to rain water pouring into the van and the replacement decals been applied wrong twice & having to be re-ordered from Elddis who originally built the camper. We finally got the vehicle back in late April, still minus 1 of the decals.   Back in March we had an email from Brownhills asking what compensation we would accept due to the delays in returning the vehicle to us (They have had it for 18 weeks instead of the initial 3 weeks which was agreed). Once we finally got the vehicle back we told them what we expected (Basically the value that the camper has depreciated by in the extra 15 weeks they have had it and which time we were unable to use it). They are now refusing to honour any compensation and are only offering us a free service for when this is due in September.   Legally where do we stand?  Obviously we are not taking it back to them for a service, given that last time they managed to crash it and its taken so long for them to make such a simple repair. We are considering legal action, but are not really sure under what grounds/legislation we could claim. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    • Usual alarmist tripe from the Guardian exposed🤣     Many of the ‘Climate Experts’ Surveyed by the Guardian in Recent Propaganda Blitz Turn Out to be Emotionally-Unstable Hysterics – The Daily Sceptic DAILYSCEPTIC.ORG Last week, the Guardian published a survey of 383 'climate experts' and – shock – many of them turned out to be... The Guardian last week published its survey of ‘climate experts’. The results are a predictable mush of fire-and-brimstone predictions and emotional incontinence. This stunt may have convinced those already aligned to the newspaper’s ideological agenda to redouble their characteristically shrill rhetoric, but encouraging scientists to speculate and emote about the future of the planet looks like an act of political desperation, not scientific communication.
    • Thanks all. Just by way of an update, I've emailed the supplemental WS to both the court and UKPC on Sunday evening.   Had the following autoreply from UKPC, so not sure if anyone would look at it before Thu, is it worth calling them to see if they have received it? Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we aim to respond within 28 days. Please note that we cannot accept appeals against parking charges via this inbox and the opportunity to appeal this parking charge has expired. Many Thanks, Litigation Team UK Parking Control Ltd

    • 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.

Can you tell us if the letter re PPI was the result of an enquiry about reclaiming PPI? Has this been taken further?

 

I think they’re wrong in stating that you need to contact the insurer, because either GE or their broker sold it to you.

The letter regarding PPI was actually to try and claim on it as my father was out of work. Surprise surprise it had run out so he couldn't claim. It never went any further.

 

The solicitor costs might have been the beginning of court proceedings but maybe it didn't get that far? He can't remember :-/ sorry.

Good Morning all,

 

Has anyone had any thoughts about our options when it comes to paying our current arrangement, or more to the point, not paying our current arrangement?

 

I imagine not a lot can happen now until we get the SARs through, and then we can start calculating what we feel we are owed?

I think the point i made earlier has been missed here (apart from DB) hence my suggestion to check the Land Registry

 

This is a Mortgage secured.

They dont need a CCJ.

The CO was placed at the time of the application (Standard)

The Sols fees are not reclaimable that is the process of a secured loan.

 

Nothing can be done Sheila until you are furnished with the DSAR.I assume the debt has now been paid and only arrears are outstanding.

Its your choice to stop payment as from now or wait until you can quantify the unfair charges and then make a claim.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Yup, totally agree. There’s no legal action in place. You need the details from the SAR now to work out what is going on with this suspicious ‘extra’ account with a balance they reckon you owe.

 

Also worth researching a bit on PPI reclaims in the meantime. As I mentioned earlier, there could be more than £5k up for reclaiming here.

The Sols fees are not reclaimable that is the process of a secured loan. Even though the solicitor fees were in Feb 2005 & May 2005, not when the loan was taken out? (Sorry I don't understand why they are lawful because it's a secured loan).

Its your choice to stop payment as from now or wait until you can quantify the unfair charges and then make a claim.Do you think we would be penalised for not paying, or not paying as much (or at least end up in a worse situation? I am going to send a letter today to explain that we are cancelling the direct debit and that we will manage the payments.

DonkeyB - yes we will go down the route of both unlawful charges and missold PPI :)

 

Thanks all for your help. I had come to the conclusion that I was going to have to get a loan to pay this balance off for my father, but with a bit of luck it won't come to that :).

I was going to go down the hardship route and found this template,

I started to modify it but now wonder if it's necessary. Whilst he is in hardship is it worth it now, the interest has built up and up anyway?

 

I was also going to make a point that he was in hardship and that any further payments would be a token payment but suddenly felt I was getting in above my head..

Anyone got any thoughts?

 

Request for Consideration as a Case in Financial Difficulty (Hardship).

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I refer to the Lending Code guidelines to which you subscribe, issued in March 2011.

 

Due to being made redundant, I have been experiencing serious Financial Difficulty since 21st January 2013.

 

I request that you stop adding interest and default charges to the above account. The interest and charges serve only to add to the Financial Difficulties I am currently experiencing. In this connection, I draw your attention to paragraphs 224 - 227 in Section 9 of the Lending Code.

 

This letter serves as notice that the current Direct Debit is to be cancelled with immediate effect and continued payment will be without prejudice and by another method.

Please provide me with another payment method, a paying in book would be preferred.

 

Please give this matter your urgent consideration.

 

Yours faithfully,

" Even though the solicitor fees were in Feb 2005 & May 2005, not when the loan was taken out? (Sorry I don't understand why they are lawful because it's a secured loan)."

 

I wasn't aware that they were later in the process..so yes if there is no reason or incident for their involvement at this date then query the charges.

 

" Do you think we would be penalised for not paying, or not paying as much (or at least end up in a worse situation? I am going to send a letter today to explain that we are cancelling the direct debit and that we will manage the payments."

 

Difficult to advise there is no way I can predict what action they may seek...they all ready have their charge....depends on how and when they can execute.I agree that the DD must be stopped and you control payment manually.

Thanks andy

OK I shall continue to pay the loan at the current arrangement (£200 a month). The current arrangement runs out at the end February, it was set up on the phone and they only agreed for 3 months.

They might start action then? We'll wait and see.

 

When you say execute, does that mean they take him to court to claim repossession their outstanding balance through the sale of the property?

There is no CCJ connected to the Charging order...the CO acts only as security (the Property) against the loan...perhaps execute was the wrong word..options open could be Bailiff/ Bankruptcy ....forced sale would be the very last resort IMHO.

Hypothetical scenarios Sheila ...they may not do anything thats why you need to wait for the DSAR and raise a dispute and challenge them.

Ok sorry to be hypothetical - I imagine conjuring up the worst case scenario is why most people just pay up.

 

We will carry on paying at the current rate and wait for the DSAR to come back. Thanks Andy,

The DSAR has come back from GE Money. Much sooner than I imagined!

It's like a phonebook but I've had a flick through and mangaged to find a mention of court.

 

I've scanned the letters in and uploaded.

I'm waiting for GE Money to get back with a settlement figure for the outstanding balance. I am likely to go down the route of obtaining a loan to pay the outstanding balance, so at least we can get the deeds back and the charge removed.

Then we will make our claim for PPI and unlawful charges.

 

Thanks,

S.
