    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

Hello, I have finally had my lightbulb moment and having started piecing my life back together following 5 years of paying huge interest on payday loans. I have just been accepted on a degree course at University and this has given me the drive and determination to succeed and make a good life for myself. I have worked out that I have paid over £5000.00 in interest alone on these loans, and the thought of this has made me feel physically sick. I currently have 5 payday loans active (Lending Stream, PaydayUK, TxtLoan, Cash Genie and Quid.co.uk) at the moment and a loan with Ladder Loans. I have already made an arrangement with TxtLoan for approx £20.00 a month for 5 months starting at the end of this month which I am happy with so they are not an issue and have been great to deal with. I have also come to an agreement with Lending Stream for around £60.00 a month for 6 months. This is a high amount a month but I want them all gone within 6 months so I am ok with this price. That leaves Cash Genie (£200.00 loan with £60.00 interest) PaydayUK (£100.00 loan with £30.00 interest a month) and Quid.co.uk (£175.00 Balance). I need to know the best email addresses to contact for these companies to arrange repayment plans, but I am scared they won't talk to me and will contact my employer etc. All I want is to arrange a plan for the balance (Loan plus 1 month) over 6 months but I know it won't be as easy as this. The final loan I need to get resolved is Ladder Loans. I borrowed £1000.00 over 12 months with repayments of approx £165.00 a month. I've paid 3 installments of this so I've paid back over half of the amount I borrowed. How should I go about arranging lower repayments with this as I would still need this gone by September but the monthly amount is crippling me. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

QuickQuid will probably offer to split what you owe into 3/4 monthly installments if you contact them via live chat. If you can't afford this then decline it and contact them through their resolution service to agree on a reduced monthly figure.

 

Payday UK set a repayment plan with me after one phone call to their collections team. No extra charges/interest added but i should note they did pass it onto a DCA after a while, even though i was making the agreed the repayments. Still the DCA was no problem to deal with either.

 

No experience with the others but i had a similar 12-month loan with Cash Converters. They continued to add interest/charges after we agreed on new monthly repayments but a formal letter of complaint swept those away. They even knocked some of the debt off :)

 

I trust you have secured your finances by replacing your debit card, removing CPA etc? I always advocate getting a new bank account to be on the safe side and avoid any nasties.

It seems like a huge mountain to climb but it can be done. I've negotiated with most of our PDLs and got payment plans agreed. I've got 10 of them to pay off but after a lot of hard work I will. Be free from them by this time next year!

 

Txtloan were without a doubt the easiest ones to deal with, one email and it was sorted. They just had to wait an extra day for the first payment as my bank were slow I sending it it but after that no issues! I will have even cleared them a month early! Still negotiating with PDUK, LendingnStream and a few others but have been putting aside what I'm offering them each week into my ISA until I get their bank details as I won't pay by card! I might even be in a position to offer one or two a full and final settlement figure soon.

 

Don't panic, it seems impossible now but you can and will get out of the PDL cycle and trap.! I will never ever take another one out and am proud of the fact we will have got ourselves out of £16000 worth of debt in 18 months through working all the hours we can, selling our old crap, etc! I'm absolutely rubbish with money and if I can stick at it then I'm sure you can do it too!

Thanks for the input guys. I know I'll get there, it's just scary initially! I'm going to cancel my card, ring the bank to cancel all the CPA's and then email all the companies left (Cash Genie, PDUK, Quid.co.uk) With regards to Cash Genie, does anyone know if they're likely to agree a 6 month plan?

Also, with regards to Ladder Loans, I'm going to email them telling them the situation and just give them my I&E and see what they suggest.

Check your repayment plans and make sure you have gotten written confirmation from each lender, and there are no side clauses attached.
