    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

Good idea davsib.

 

I think I will send a letter with my acceptance form giving them one last chance to make me an offer.

 

Theyve admitted that both loans contain PPI,

the only reason that they've not upheld them is because they say they have no proof that we didn't cancel the PPI or the amount that was paid.

 

Well they had no proof with any of the others either,

only that all the loans were in a chain and each one paid off the previous one.

 

If they haven't got any idea of the amounts that were paid they must have some idea and could make an offer still.

 

If they still refuse I'll send an email to the CEO.

 

It's worth a try before I involve the FOS.

 

I've got the time now that we'll have £18,000!

 

Beware Direct Auto Finance, it will be you next.....

you also need to point out they are the ONLY creditor

we on CAG have ever seen that MAKE punter prove they actually did pay it!

 

p'haps they shouldn't have shredded so much 'evidence' when the ppi scandal broke

 

just so they could bury their multi £M fleecing of 100,000's of customers in the 80's & 90's

Really? Why on earth do they send it to India? Is that for all the claims, or just the ones that you are querying? I don't need to attach anything to the email do I, just reference the claim number and their comments on the offer letter?

Ok, I'll do that then. They messed me around so much with the SAR that they gave me my £10 back! They know that both those loans were paid off, because they were paid by other loans in the chain. Even for the other loans they said that they had no information other than what I sent them, but they didn't ask for statements for those! It will cost them enough for those to be referred to the FOS, so they might as well sort it.

Got an email from the FOS this morning to say that they have received my complaint and they will be in touch shortly, when they have had a chance to look through the information we sent, to let us know what happens next. So now we wait.....

Obviously the email was looked at as I received this today. It's laughable really, as they are only not upholding the last 2 loans as they say they do not have enough information to calculate a refund! What do you reckon the FOS can do? Can they make them make me an offer or are they going to string this out?

The wording of the letter seems more appropriate for a credit card account than a loan - however I have re-read the thread and they clearly are loan accounts. My view would be that HFC have had enough time and to get these in the queue for FOS with a request that HFC be made to make a reasonable offer based on assumptions.

 

My own view is that FOS will make them make some kind of offer as they have accepted that the PPI was mis-sold, the downside is that FOS appear to be trying to manage their backlog by prioritising easy PPI cases - they are quoting 12-18 months for a case and my own experience is that anything where there is an offer on a case (even if your complaint to them is about associated loans without an offer) gets put in the cupboard marked tricky - so you are looking towards the top end or beyond of that timescale.

 

Based upon the age of the account and the limited info - my own view is that you would struggle with the court route - although as always I need to make clear, there are far more experienced people on the site particularly on the legal side who will be able to better assist with that potential route

No I don't have any old statements at all. The 2 loans are from 1995 and 1997. It's already in the hands of the FOS and I just e mailed this letter to them to go with the other documents in my case file. I don't know why they won't just go with the info that they have, it would save so much time, but they seem determined to dig their heels in.

I'm trying to work out the first loan but I'm struggling. It's obviously not one that has upfront PPI on it and works more like a credit card.

 

They say in their letter that the payment is 3% of the balance and that the PPI is 0.6% of the balance.The loan was for £7528.30 and I am assuming a rate of 25.4%.

 

We signed it at the end of January 1995 so I'm not sure if the first payment would be in February or March.

 

The amount of £7338.21 was outstanding when we took out another loan that started in March 1996. How do I go about starting to work out what our payments were? Does the interest on this loan go up until today, or the end of the loan? Is the interest added onto the balance each month or at the beginning? I'm confused.

the current account plus worked like a credit card, int was monthly on the bal

outstanding at the end of each month.

though sometimes, like me, I paid affixed sum each month through choice.

 

ims21 has a thread on one as do I somewhere

daveib also has one.

I can't imagine that we would have paid more than the minimum payment each month and I don't think we borrowed more on it or we wouldn't have taken out another loan after a year. I honestly don't understand how it worked. Will they be able to make an offer based on that information with no statements?

no HFC wont

 

the only bank that requires statements to prove what you paid

there is nowt to say the approach we have taken is not correct

we have used an avg of the known ppi payments for both the CAP ones.

 

what about your banks statements?

or did you pay [as I did & was told to at the branch only] by card and a little white record card?

 

I can se what hfc are getting at in post 143 and that recent letter

they don't know what you had outstanding month to month

 

BUT , if you refinanced for £XXXX then its a good bet the bal was the same throughout

mine was!!

 

dx

 

I think things are getting a little confused here. I don't have bank statements and my loans aren't stamped as paid in full. This is someone else posting in the thread and not me.

 

 

I already proved to HFC that my loans all paid off each other, so it's not proof of that that they want.Our loans would have been paid by direct debit, I certainly don't recall having to pay in the branch because it would have been really inconvenient as it wasn't close by.

 

 

I can't understand why we had a mix of normal loans with these 2 in the middle. HFC know the amount of the loan, the APR, the percentage of the loan which made up the payment, the percentage which made up the PPI and the amount that was refinanced after a year. They have more than enough information to make an educated guess at how much we paid.

 

Unfortunately they are now insisting on statements to prove the exact amount we paid each month for both of these loans and say that they will only pay out what we can prove we paid...because they know we can't prove it.
