    • I had to call an ambulance for my wife, but one of the paramedics was not happy, about the condition of our house, as it's cluttered. And he  would only see to my wife, on the ambulance itself. After diagnosis they took my wife to hospital. My wife was ill for a few months, and received help from the district nurses. We then got a call from a social worker, who wanted to visit us, and discuss ways to make my wife more comfortable. When I asked for more details, she became vague, but could give us a phone number, if she visited. I politely declined her offer, as I was coping, along with my daughter in caring for my wife. Then a letter arrived from another social worker, saying similar things, to the first. I didn't bother to reply. Another letter has just turned up, from the social services legal department, which doesn't say anything specific, but refers to the other social workers trying to visit us. Coming from a legal department, has badly upset my wife, who's recovery was on going, and she now fears that someone will be coming to the house, to do whatever. Do we have to respond, or take notice of these people. Also we recently had a fire prevention officer come and fit, smoke and heat detectors. He didn't voice any concerns with the conditions at the property. Worried, Paul.
    • By not sticking to the deadline which you set you have lost credibility. Your letter of claim becomes one of hundreds of others which they receive and which they put in the bin because they think that you are just bluffing.  
    • 05.05.24 Ever so sorry if I have entered this in the wrong part of this website.   My grandfather is in his 70's and retired.  He asked me to help him find a work pension that he was paying into when he was working. From 1967 - 1982 he worked for a Fabric Dying Company, Celanese, Spondon Derby UK. I have already used the GOV.uk Trace Pension Scheme. It listed a few pension companies : Akzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme formerly Courtaulds Pension Scheme.  I do not fully understand how this works but I think this scheme is administer by a company called Willis Tower Watson. We have called this company, got through to the pension department submitted all my grandfather's details (D.O.B. , N.I. no. etc.) but that agent tells that they have no record of my grandfather and ask what is the name of the pension scheme. Here is the problem, his home was burgalled in 2005 and a briefcase which contained his legal documents was stolen. So he does not know who was the Pension Scheme company. I have a this phone number 01332 681 210 for Celanese but it just rings and never gets answered. So I am asking for help if anyone can tell us where we can try next. I am also hoping for a massive long shot that one of them members on this website, worked for or knows someone who worked for British Celanese Spondon Derby and could tell us of any pension company. Thanks for any help.

    • 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

 

I have searched this forum and cant find the answer if its already out there my apologises.

 

My auntie purchased Double Glazing in 1997 from a company called Harmony windows and they added PPI to the loan,

the finance was for 10 years and finished in 22 may 2007, that was the last DD payment

 

the PPI was provided from GE Money, I have all the proof credit agreement etc

 

Harmony windows who sold the PPI policy has gone bust and is no longer trading

 

I have contacted GE money who said I have to contact Harmony windows which i did,

as they are no longer trading i have contacted FSCS

who said the claim is older than 6 years so there is nothing I can do

 

what other options do I have can i go small claims court etc

 

any advice would be really apperciated

 

thanks

typical GE money response.

 

they wriggle and wriggle.

 

if it was GE money on the agreement

then GE money are your target.

 

look at the finance agreement carefully

you may find the name of the underwriter

 

there might be a chance there

 

however, under section 56 of CCA GE ARE responsible for the actions of the sellers

in whatever capacity.

 

as for it 'being statute barred'

 

I cant see the FSCS saying this

they know full well that SB does NOT apply to PPI reclaims.

my apologises i didnt make it clear in my first sentence

 

thanks for quick response

 

Im fully aware that harmony windows didnt supply the ppi or loan as they are a double glazing firm,

 

 

harmony windows used ge money for their finance they offer their customers,

they arranged it all on a home visit and used ge money to offer credit

and also ppi was included when selling the windows.

 

my auntie signed a credit agreement which was with first national bank as it is there logo

and paperwork on the credit agreemnet, its clearly a credit agrement with them

 

and the signature on the credit agreement clearly shows

 

signed on behalf of first national bank

 

in my eyes this policy was sold by first national as its there credit agreement.

 

hope it all makes sense

 

currently not at home but can easily scan document to show exactly what was signed

thanks for the reply fscs said exactly that they cannot investigate because of the agreement was signed before 2005 and it doesnt meet the guidelines

 

im still stating that ge money authorised someone to sell on there behalf, on the paperwork it states insurance policy underwriter: Bennett gould and partner, which is a solictors firm

 

do i have a case

don't worry

we are well aware of the very tangled web surrounding GE money

loans.co.uk

first national bank

 

and all the others

 

never seen BGP before though

you certainly have a case

 

what I suggest is type in first nation in our search top right on the grey toolbar.

 

there you will be able to see the other stories.

 

that should answer many questions

 

then comeback here.

 

what the fscs actually mean is its not covered by them as it was signed before 2005

when there jurisdiction began

 

doesn't mean its a lost cause.

under section 56 GE are responsible for the actions of seller or any any agent.

 

might end up at the underwrites but there are numerous early PPI reclaims already through GE,.

Hi

 

Thanks for the advice

 

I have searched the forum and have found that another person had the same problem with cold seal(window company who have also gone bust), and they were advised to complete a fos questionnaire and a spreadsheet of claim.

 

I will complete the fos questionnaire and the spreadsheet of claim,

 

Is this the right option I am taking

 

Thanks for the advice

  • 1 month later...

and in your opinion sec 56 does apply as without the goods, there'd be no need for the ppi.

 

 

might be an idea to try the insurance under writers you mentioned

 

 

pers i I'd be writing back to ge

pointing out 'your' opinion and telling them

as they full well know the fscs were not set up when the ppi was taken out.

 

 

so Ge how do I get back the PPI you spoofed out of me then?

 

 

wriggle wriggle.

I had the same problem with First National then GE Money Lending who gave their final word

- NO - as they are not responsible.

 

 

However, they gave me the Window company's Administrators who are now in charge of that company.

 

 

Perhaps you ought to ask GE Money who are the Administrators for that window company

and write them a letter, and if that fails send the questionnaire to fos.

I hope you will have better luck than me.

 

 

FOS said they cannot help because its over 6 years,

and also because the company concerned went into administration

and the administrators are not in their remit.

 

 

However, they asked me if I want to ask the insurers with whom the insurance policy was with,

and see if they can help or finally write to Finance Leasing authority.

 

 

GE money point blankly refused saying they are not responsible

and sent me FLA address details to write to. It took 2 years to find out this.

Thanks, but that's what FOS told me. I took out the loan to get windows done in 2004 Sep. I have not given up yet. Will write to the insurers, whom I believe is the Cardiff Pinnacle. I have seen somewhere on this site about them. I wonder if anyone had any luck with them.

Hi Dx thanks

- The lady I spoke to at fos did not seem to know much , a

nd when I asked her to explain

- she said its not within their remit and kept asking me to hold so she can check with someone else.

 

 

At the end of it she said write to FLA.

 

 

So I am back to start again with the insurers first and then FLA.

Tried Fscs and were no help,fos also said they weren't regulated at the time so no joy there either.

 

I will write to underwriters who are a solicitors firm and also ge money asking how do I claim back ppi then.

 

Also notppisavy did you write to Fla. and if so what did they say

 

If still no luck would small claims court be last hope

 

Thanks
