    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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,

 

regarding the charges spreadsheet, what is the 'date to ' is it today's date or the date of the last charge?

 

Also am I only claiming the unpaid DD payment charges or do I also claim the Default notice and calling in notice fees?

 

Thanks

 

Steve

Dx,

 

Here is the edited spreadsheet with ALL the charges shown on my statement.

 

Yes PPI sounds good too.

 

I have the single premium policy spreadsheet 'statintsheet v101' I take it that is the one I need? if so the award calculation does not seem to populate after I enter the single premium in I20. I had worked out that 10.18% of each monthly payment was going towards PPI. Is that what I enter for each payment, 10.18% of that months payment? do I also add the single premium as the first entry?

 

Sorry for asking you to explain the spreadsheets in full but want to get them right.

Hi,

 

I've entered my monthly direct debits, which were honoured, for the time leading up to the default.

 

I have shown the 10.18% figure in the amount of charge column.

 

What do I do now with the spreadsheet? I don't seem to be able to have a total figure populated in the 'award calculation'.

 

I have edited my details from the spreadsheet.

somewhere along the line

you have removed the formula.

 

copy and paste each of the 1st 3 columns into a new downloaded copy of the spreadsheet.

ok for the PPI :

covering letter:

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

Re:

 

I am writing in relation to the above payment protection (PPI) policy which i believe was mis-sold to me in relation to my

I believe you have not treated me fairly for the following reasons;

· The PPI was added without my knowledge..

· You have been punished by the Financial Services Authority for failing to treat customers fairly and I do not believe that the PPI I bought was sold in my best interest.

Unless you can prove that the policy was fair and reasonable and that I was treated fairly when I was sold the insurance, I demand a full refund of all premiums, and subsequent interest on these payments, that I have paid in relation to this policy. I also expect 8% interest to be added to each payment I have made as this is the statutory amount a court would pay.

I look forward to your full and prompt response to this letter. If this matter is not settled within eight weeks of this letter I shall be contacting the Financial Ombudsman to investigate my complaint.

This letter is in respect of the above account that was issued by

Yours faithfully

or

The Complaints Department

[Lender’s address]

[Date]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Ref – policy number

I believe I have been mis-sold a payment protection insurance policy and would like to request a full refund of my premiums, plus interest paid.

I took out a £xxx loan/credit card at your [branch name] branch on [date] and also bought a payment protection policy which would cost me an extra £xxx over the life of the loan. [The name of the salesperson who sold me the policy is …] The total amount of my premiums plus interest is £ xxxx.

When I took out the loan, I was told that my application would be refused if I did not also buy a PPI policy. The Financial Services Authority’s advice to consumers is that, while it does not breach FSA guidelines, a borrower should not be refused a loan if they choose not to buy an insurance policy.

Possible additional paragraphs – include any which apply to you

[i also told your salesperson that I had adequate insurance cover through a separate income protection policy.]

 

[i said I did not need the PPI as my employer provides a generous illness and redundancy package.]

[You are not allowed to make PPI a condition of taking out the loan unless you include the costs of PPI in the quoted interest rate, which you did not do.]

[in forcing me to buy this policy, you have also breached paragraph 8.6 of the Banking Code, to which you are a signatory.]

I do not believe being forced to buy this policy as part of the loan was a fair and reasonable obligation as I did not need this insurance and said at the time of taking the loan that I did not want it.

I am requesting a full refund of all my insurance payments, plus interest, which total [£ xxx].

If I do not receive a favourable response from you I will pursue this claim through the Financial Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

 

and fill this out:

Thank you

 

I've completed the PPI letter, the consumer questionnaire and the loan charges letter.

 

Now do I send one big amalgamated letter with the two claims or two separate letters? Do I add the spreadsheets or keep them to compare the offer they make?

 

I note on the charges letter there is a paragraph regarding default notice removal (due to charges added which is not quite the same situation as mine). Do I alter this to reflect my own situation? Or do this later once the charges have been refunded to strengthen my case?

obv yes sri adapt as necessary.

 

1 claim will be PPI = FOS CQ + PPI SOC + covering letter

2nd claim PENALTY charges SOC + Coverign letter

 

staple or paperclip each claim 'pack' together

 

both can go in the same env.

 

2nd class proof of postage will do from PO counter.

Hello,

 

Quick response from GE Money re the PPI. The edited letter is attached. Basically they state that they did not sell me the PPI, it was Zenith (windows) and they (GE Money) are not responsible for the mis-selling of it as they were not present.

Zenith are in administration and they have provided details of who to contact.

 

What shall I do?

 

Also slightly worried there is no mention of the complaint about unfair charges added to this account and that this is their final response (they sent a letter on 7th March acknowledging my complaint with a reference number which is the same number on this letter)

 

Thanks

no harm in firing off to whom they indicate.

 

though it should be noted

this is std practice for GE

 

they NEVER honour any PPI cmplaints

 

always the same fob off basically

 

it is worthy to note however

 

that under section 56 ofthe CCA they ARE responsible for the actions of their 'agents'

right down the chain.

 

Consumer Credit Act Section 56. refers...

— (1) In this Act “antecedent negotiations ” means any negotiations with the debtor or hirer—

(a) conducted by the creditor or owner in relation to the making of any regulated agreement, or

(b) conducted by a credit-broker in relation to goods sold or proposed to be sold by the credit-broker to the creditor before forming the subject-matter of a debtor-creditor-supplier agreement within section 12(a), or

© conducted by the supplier in relation to a transaction financed or proposed to be financed by a debtor-creditor-supplier agreement and “negotiator ” means the person by whom negotiations are so conducted with the debtor or hirer.

I take it from the above no-one has succeeded in this line of complaint? Is this something I refer to the Ombudsman to continue my complaint?

 

I'll print off the letters again to the administrator in the meantime and chase up the charges/default complaint to ensure is hasn't been 'overlooked'...

Hi,

 

I've fired off a response quoting Sec.56 CCA to GE Money and take it from there.

 

Spoke to them about the Charges/Default letter, they don't have any record of it despite it being sent together with the PPI letter!!!, had to send off another copy...

 

No response yet from LINK regarding the copy of the agreement, they have tried to phone me though i'm not answering...they've got 6 days until the 21 days is passed since the 'failure to provide copy of agreement' letter
