    • No I have not. I will probably do that
    • Based on ECP's previous, what will definitely happen is this. They will send more idiotic letters. After they will send a Letter of Claim, and it is essential that your brother replies at this point to this to show them he would be big trouble in court. Next it is highly likely (but not certain) that they will crawl back under their stone and that will be the end of the matter. The slight worry is that if they do do court it will seem a likely story to a judge that your brother has no connection to the ticket, when it was him who appealed and replied to the Letter of Claim.  Indeed I think it would seem the lot of you were playing games with ECP and with the court by getting unconnected people involved and then later deny they were involved. So be aware there is that slight risk. You talked about "a mess" in your first post, and you weren't wrong. Someone hires a car and gets a ticket.  There is an appeal.  Who appeals, the hirer?  No, the hirer's mate's son.  Obvious! There is an approach for help to a consumer website.  By the hirer?  No, by the hirer's mate's son's brother! This is so damn silly and totally avoidable. Anyway, it seems the decision has been made for your brother to carry the can so whatever consequences will ensue will ensue. 
    • Doc 04-19-2024 11-01-51-merged-compressed.pdf good morning.    9 pages attached.    thank you  UCM
    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk 
    • Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious  An update - - I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)   - I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai)  - IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all. - i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

    • 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.

i totally agree with B-O-2, a standing order is the only way to go, the problem with that is you have to get their details from them, which might be hard to get, again put it in writing that you would like their bank details so you can resume a "regular payment" by standing order, and that you would prefer to pay by standing order as you are trying to sort yourself out finacially and you will have better control of your finances with standing orders. its your choice as to whether or not you tell them again you can only pay £5 each time, but at least if it goes to court you are showing the court that welcome were aware that you are struggling and you have tried to make an offer.

 

sorry you are not feeling well

ring nottingham, ask for their bank sort code and account number...for your bank to make payment...use your surname and welcome account number as the reference on the standing order....easy peasy really!

Post, Im waiting for my SAR so at the moment, so welcome think all is well with my account, no arrears, no complaints etc. So if they were to go and account got sold on, can I then not dispute my account with new company cause I hadn't already done so with welcome ?

It will be easier if you complain now. Time limits will already have kicked in etc, and your case will be stronger if you have to carry on the dispute with the new owners of your account.

 

Remember, at each stage of the process, each new owner will HAVE to send you a valid Notice of Assignment. If any one of them fails to do so, the assignment will not be effective, and they will have no right to enforce jack sheet.

Just been going through some paper work & just realised something.

 

They sent me a letter dated 9/7/09 informing me that the hp account was terminated & that full balance was now due.

 

Soooo why did they send a bloke to my address to pay them monthy payments ??

 

If this ever gets to court I will need 3 days just to explain what they have done wrong!! (wasting courts time LOL!)

morning all,

 

just been going through my old posts & realised I never got an answer on this question (see below)

 

I took out an agreement with welcome finance in 2004 for a car that I needed for work. after a year I had to resign or the company told me I would be sacked. I was unemployed for almost a year & could not keep up with the payments. In the end we decided to refinance the agreement so I could make affordable payments.

When the original loan was paid off I do not think that the PPI was refunded plus something called short fall insurance which I have no idea about. I believe that the ppi was miss-sold as I would not of agreed to it had I known that I could not claim if I was unemployed. Also they did not explain the PPI properly & as I had been kept waiting for a car for almost 8 hours I just wanted to get out of there.

 

I now owe £7000 for a car worth about £1500.

 

I will be very interested in knowing if it is legal to put a finance charge that amounts to 2/3ds of the worth of the vehicle. Also finance charges of £1300 on insurances that I did not ask for.

 

many thanks

 

Martyn

 

PS

since this question was asked I had the car stolen from a place I thought was safe. The car was uninsured at the time but was listed as SORN

Hi martynandemma

 

I've seen some of your posts so I assume you've been down the CCA/SAR routes.

As you know, PPI doesn't cover for a voluntary termination of employment, but, without wanting to be nosey, what were the circumstances behind you being forced to resign from work? I'm just wondering if it would fall under constructive dismissal.

 

When you re-signed with Welcome, there should have been a rebate on all the insurances.

The shortfall won't pay out if the vehicle was uninsured.

 

Do you have all current and past paperwork? Including an up to date statement?

 

The vast majority of insurance miss-selling complaints against WF are upheld - I would bet if you got that refuded and claimed back all the dodgy charges, plus 8% stat interest you'd see that £7k melt away.

 

As for the legality of the amounts of finance, I think that would be a dead end - morally wrong but I'm not aware of any legal precedent although I'd love to be proved wrong.

Ok in answer to the above

 

When I left my job it was a case of leave or we will sack you.

 

re the welcome re sign I got a partial refund of insurances, a few other things I have found out. they didnt carry out a statement of means check on the insurances but they did on the 2 restructured agreements.

 

I am going to get stuff into order & try to send postggj copies of all. There is a lot of it though. I will send what I think is relavent. I would like to take them to court & get money back from them.

 

how is that letter coming along post ?

 

I know you r busy so I will be patient :)

Another puzzle in the great world of welcome f ??

 

OK they sent me a default notice "without prejudice" hoho! on the 03/06/2009 so perhaps they would like to explain below which is on my credit file. Now I assume that they are saying they put the default on 14 days after issue but that doesnt explain the current balance of 6522 & if they are sticking to this then why r they still charging for letters sent calls made etc & why did a chap call at my door 6 weeks ago asking for months money or return of the car which they know was stolen 2 years ago. Looks like they can travel time to updated to the 11/10/2009

are they allowed to charge interest on acceptance fee & option fee

 

how do you work out if they r charging the correct apr

 

& in my other post I am asking if a handwritten default notice can be taken to be used as an invalid default as they have effectively defaulted me twice

 

Postggj, I am putting together a list of flaws & concidering legal action as if none of the contracts are legit I want to sue for my money back (all of it or just charges & PPI etc) I dont want to be greedy but I concider all the stress & anguish they have caused me in the past & almost cost me my marriage in the process, the harassment, the lies, the fact that in the telephone notes they call me a trouble maker amongst other things.

 

Any help as ever greatfully received

Not sure about charging interest on the acceptance fee, a few people are querying his at the mo. As for the option fee, they don't charge interest on this. It's only payable when you have made all your other installments.

 

It looked like I was being charged interest on the option fee on my agreement too but after closer inspection of my statement I noticed the opening balance had the option fee deducted. (amount on there was total amount payable minus the deposit and option fee).

 

If you have a statement of price you'll see that your monthly payment is made up of: payment towards the car and associated interest, payment towards the acceptance fee and payment towards the insurances (if you have any).
