    • Thanks @lolerzthat's an extremely helpful post. There is no mention of a permit scheme in the lease and likewise, no variation was made to bring this system in. I recall seeing something like a quiet enjoyment clause, but will need to re-read it and confirm. VERY interesting point on the 1987 Act. There hasn't been an AGM in years and I've tried to get one to start to no avail. However, I'll aim to find out more about how the PPC was brought in and revert. Can I test with you and others on the logic of not parking for a few months? I'm ready to fight OPS, so if they go nuclear on me then surely it doesn't matter? I assume that I will keep getting PCNs as long as I live here, so it doesn't make sense for me to change the way that I park?  Unless... You are suggesting that having 5 or so outstanding PCNs, will negatively affect any court case e.g. through bad optics? Or are we trying to force their hand to go to court with only 2 outstanding PCNs?
    • That is so very tempting.   They are doing my annual review as we speak and I'm waiting for their response once I have it I will consider my next steps.    The debt camel website mentioned above is amzing and helping to. Education me alot    
    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.  
    • @Whyisitthisthank you very much for asking. I am still feeling anxious, especially when someone rings the doorbell, or when I receive a letter I feel a it paranoid. I stopped going to the shops unless I really have to. I shop online now. When I see security I feel paralised.

    • 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 again,

 

My little story with welcome continues & I feel its time to get shot of this once & for all.

 

MKRR have sent a notice of assignment for the amount of £9090

 

but welcome sent there usual iffy default notice & my credit file is marked debt assigned no amount of money is listed just the word satisfied

 

I would like someone to give me an idea of what letter to send & to who

 

I have posted several times in the past about this but never really got a definative answer so if anyone could give me an idea of what to put I will be really grateful

 

many thanks

 

Martyn

thanks post,

 

I want to make this thing go away. I am prepared to leave the default on my credit file as according to your posts to me earlier this year the only money that welcome could claim would be arrears.

 

What I want to know is what to say to MKRR as I know that like most DCA's sooner or later they will start trying to get money out of me.

Dont quote me but if i was in your position i would ignor mkrr

 

if theY take you to court, use the default notice, pay the arrears off up to the date of the default ntice, then no ccj if paid with in 28 days of judgement

 

so

 

start saving

 

but thats me

so MKRR can't demand the rest then.

 

To confirm as I have been known to missunderstand these things!!

because welcome issued a DN asking for arrears & balance outstanding, the act of issuing the DN means that the account was closed thereby voiding the contract (credit agreement) so the remaining balance is wiped out.

 

If thats true does that mean that any time you dont keep up payments on a loan & you r defaulted that you are only liable for the arrears. Or is it the wording in the DN that is the reason they can only claim the arrears.

 

hope that made sense I am just trying to understand how CCJ's etc work

 

thanks again

ILL TRY AND EXPLAIN

 

FOR A CREDITOR TO START LEGAL ACTION , THEY HAVE TO GIVE A DEFAULT NOTICE AND ALLOW 14 DAYS TO RECTIFY THE DEFAULT. THIS NOTICE NEEDS TO BE LAID OUT A CERTAIN WAY TO BE VALID. WHERE WELCOME SCREEW UP IS THEY SAY 14 DAYS INSTEAD OF PUTTING IN A NUMERICAL DATE.

IT THEN BECOMES UNLAWFULL RECESSION OF CONTRACT AS THEY HAVE TERMINATED THE AGREEMENT AFTER 14 DAYS SO ALL THAT IS LEFT WILL BE AY ARREARS UP TO THE DATE ON THE DEFAULT NOTICE

 

 

Failure of a default notice to be accurate not only invalidates the default notice (Woodchester Lease Management Services Ltd v Swain and Co - [2001] GCCR 2255) but is a unlawful rescission of contract which would not only prevent the court enforcing any alleged debt, but give me a counter claim for damages Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society [1996] 4 All ER 119

RIGHT!!! got it now :-D

 

so MBNA (another of my favourite companies!!) have put a date on theirs which gives the 14days to rectify the breach. They have done theirs correctly it seems (damn!!) which means I would be liable for the full balance of what is owed. On a different subject MBNA have sold my debt to AIC who have sent me a nice little yellow card threatening all sorts of action. So its "prove it" letter & reporting them for a breach of FSA rules.

 

Thanks for explaining that for me Post :-)

dont worry to much as the people at mkrr mkdp will not take you to court and also will not put charges and intrest in to the debt as they have no power to do so it is just a threat and it wont happen so all you people out there worried you can all sleep well in your beds and if you see positive feed back on any site like this please ignore it it is a member of the staff at """trade-pro"" ""mkrr"" "" mkdp"" posting them

and if you have a debt with littlewoods (shop direct) and get a nice letter from mkrr or raven dont bover calling them as this debt is called stat barred so you dont need to pay a single penny to them just let them keep calling you just dont answer it !!!! better still go on the phone and dispute the account and hang up then it would get written off and they would not chase for a single penny

I contacted Welcome Finance in July 2011 to see if I had a claim aginst them.

 

They told me I did yet had to send in proof that I had changed address. I did this.

Then they said it had been received but the address not ammeded, can I resend it?

NO! If you can't do your job properly then that tough. Ammend the address simple.

 

after weeks of speaking to them and Welcomes Complaints team who told me I did not have a claim with them but with the broker I got an applicaiotn form. A team manager called .... and his member of staff called ..... and .....s Operations Manager, assured me that I did have a claim with them.

 

After sending in the forms to them they now say I don't have a claim with them cause I had to get the FOS invovled with matters when I had the HP with them

 

FOS were involved because I wrote to them as it said in the contract and told them I wanted to return the car to them (50% though the contract so I was able to with no penalties.) 6 months it took them to collect the car and they wanted me to pay for these 6 monthly installments to which they were told no

 

FOS told them to collect it and they did

Car's brakes were jammed by this time due to it not moving but this was tough and their fault.

 

So now I am left furious for all the messing around they have caused me and expense in calls that I am no further forward.

 

MOST CERTAINLY NOT "WELCOME FINANCE" BUT "UNwelcome FINANCE".

MKRR have now contacted me about paying the debt and have ssaid welcom have said I am still liable as the loan was refinance twice. I claimed PPI should be deducted etc etc but no joy.

 

Would now be a time to tell MKRR about the without predjudice DN and inform them that I am only liable for the arrears? I told them that I was unwilling to pay as welcome had breached 22 of the regulations that they were governed by as a "responsible lender"

 

as my issues were with welcome and not MKRR will this make any difference?

See my previous thread about this called martyn v welcome

 

Nothing happened for a couple of years but now MKRR have contacted me again about paying the debt and have said welcome have said I am still liable as the loan was refinance twice and that my point about PPI was not valid as there was no ppi on the refinanced loans

 

Would now be the time to tell MKRR about the without predjudice DN and inform them that I am only liable for the arrears?

 

If not what is my next move?

 

I told them that I was unwilling to pay as welcome had breached 22 of the consumer regulations that they were governed by they have asked me to send them a letter explaining this. Should I do this or would you advise against revealing all my info on welcome.

 

Also as my issues were with welcome and not MKRR will this make any difference?

 

many thanks

Hi there,

 

I've been doing some researching of my old postings for welcome and also read some other threads on here.

 

It seems that you can claim back PPI for accounts over 6 years old, is this true and if so how would I go about putting in a claim for it ?

 

I had left my welcome account alone as I hadnt heard from them in over 2 years but now MKRR are trying to get £9000 off me so I thought I'd through the kitchen sink at them and welcome.

 

I have a list of at least 32 contraventions of various different rules ranging from calling my original friend references on boxing day to try to contact me, wrongfully putting my refinanced loan as a default on my credit file even though the balance was refinanced into a third loan, this; some 3 years after the balance was settled. Also being slandered as a trouble maker in their telephone notes from one of my calls.

 

I have so much I can do to them but dont really know where to start, I've had all the accounts back from them for the SAR and a couple of notices of assignment of the debt to MKRR so no probs there.

 

There is a lot more to this but its all stretched over 2 or 3 threads on the welcome boards but nobody has come back to me with advice.

 

Hope someone can help or pass me on to someone else who can or failing that tell me who I should approach with this (CAB etc)

 

What I really want is a letter to send to MKRR and welcome for the PPI and maybe a link to a letter I can send to them explaining that as I had a default notice issued wrongly, I am only liable for the arrears.

 

many thanks

 

Martyn

thanks for doing that for me, dx100uk :)

 

Yes I have all my agreements, all my default notices and all telephone notes from them (although I suspect the call record has been doctored as there are lots of missing pieces, course I cant prove it!)

 

I even have the original response from them when I requested a PPI refund in 2009 (I think that was the date anyway) apparantly I didnt respond in time so matter was closed. The only thing I have lost is my list of their breaches of various authority regulations but i can easily research that again

 

For quick reference the original agreement was taken out in May 2005, it had PPI, shortfall and some other insurance on it the other 2 agreements were refinanced but without ppi

resume of thread:

 

2004 car finance with PPI and shortfall

refinanced 3 times

To cut a very long story short

 

took out car finance in 17/5/2004, all the usual rubbish PPI, Breakdown insurance & shortfall insurance

monthly agreement £206

car hired cash price £3982 total ammount to pay over 4 years 9920.64

 

then in 21/07/2005 renegotiated payments

credit cash advance £5208

£119.32 per month

total amount to pay over 75mnths £8949

 

unemployed couldnt afford payments

modifying hp agreement

£5326.44

£78.22 per mnth

total amount to pay over 10 years £9386.40

last agreement was taken out in august 2007

They have sent me my docs today, now there are 2 serious problems with my credit agreements.

 

Agreement 2 has a different car listed to the 1 I was provided, it looks to me like a botched up attempt to recreate a lost contract & as I have an original copy of the contract in question I know its fake .

Agreement 3 is very very blurred but most important I have not signed it.

I refinanced my HP loan as you all know. got a partial early settlement for insurances sent to the agreement.

 

 

can you scan up all the agreements and all the statements please.

 

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc using paint program

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

I'm at work on night shift at the moment, I haven't got access to a scanner but I can use my iphone, i work nights so I'll post them on to the site tomorrow though I do not start work until 00:30 on weekdays. All together the info you want comes to about 20pages so it may take a while to send it all across.

 

I never received a Default notice for agreement 2 so the entry on my credit file is probably a mistake on their part but I do have a number of notices from them for agreement 3 which is also defaulted on my credit file.

 

thanks for your help
