    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.   
    • I've looked at your case specifically more.   Term 8bii reads " when, in accordance with instructions from the Customer or the Consignee, the Consignment is left in a safe place" Their terms choose to not define safe, so they are put to proof that the location is safe. If your property opens onto a street its a simple thing of putting a google earth image and pointing out that its not a safe place

    • 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 Caggers

 

Just a quickie,

 

I have a debt of £156 that I honestly forgot about when I lived in Devon,

 

Last saturday I was out working and a bailiff came to my door and spoke with my misses,

she didnt let him in,

but he handed her a letter just staing that there is a liability/warrant order and would like to come back when I am present to discuss a payment plan.

 

I do owe the debt and I almost know my rights.

 

But my question is

 

when i arrange for him to come back do I have to let him in to arrange a payment plan?

 

or can I do it on my doorstep?

 

I dont want to let him in for many reasons I'm sure you all are aweare of the obvious ones.

 

But mainly my misses suffers from anxioty and I have 3 children.

Quick response will be appreciated

Advise is always Never to let them in , they will say they can only set a payment plan if you let them in ,from my understanding thats not the case its all to do with getting more money from a levy etc.

 

SO DONT LET HIM IN

The simple answer is that yes...if you want to you can let him into your home but you ned to be aware that if this is your choice that substantial additional fees will be applied to your account and that from any payments made by you....the bailiff fees wil be deducted first.

 

Unless the debt is for an unpaid court fine, the debtor has a choice whether to allow the bailiff into the home or not. The bailiff can only gain entry by being invited in (or peaceful means).

 

At this present time you cannot affford to pay the debt to the council and this would indicate that you are not financially able to pay. Allowing the bailiff into your home will INCREASE the debt and this is what you need to be aware of.

 

Secondly, allowing the bailiff entry into your home will also mean that you will be required to sign a Waking Possession Agreement and the small print on the form will advise you that the bailiff can legally come back to remove all goods listed after a period of 5 days if you have not paid the FULL amount demanded including the bailiff fees.

 

Suffice to say...DONT allow a bilaiff into your home.

 

HOWEVER...and this is important: If the bailiff is unable to gain entry (and thereby increase his fees) he will almost certainly @levy@ upon a car in your driveway. If you have a car be very careful to move it.

Cheers tomtubby, i allready understand if i let him in then i dnt have any rights left, the fact is this baillif aint coming in my home what so ever, so if he wants me to do a payment plan then he can do it on my doorstep (lets hope its ****ing it down) lol

yes,

it states that he has attended and put a charge on the letter for his visit of £24.50,

 

he said on the phone the other night,

he came round to see if i could pay it all (which i cant),

 

I wasnt in but my gf was and her name is on it aswell.

 

I understand i owe this debt and plan to pay it at an amount that i can afford each month.

 

He said also on the phone that he will arrange with me when he can come round again which he will add more costs.

but if i do arrange with him the next visit

i dont want him to come in my property as my gf suffers from anxioty

Speaking to the bailiff on the phone.

....why he is not your mate and will only fleece you

 

Did he not tell you that he is paid on commission

and if he is lucky and can cash cow people he gets extra money

 

Also did he not tell you that there is no right of entry by force

no locksmith

no nothing and

you can refuse to deal with him

And if you tell him to do one

and shut the door not a lot he can do

 

By paying the council you may upset him

he may spit a dummy

or stamp his feet

as he won't be able to fleece you
